This always generates renewed spirit and enthusi asm around the house and we hope to take full advantage of this atmosphere. Looking ahead to the remaining five weeks of classes following spring break, we are going to be rather busy around h ere. Three of the five weekends will be taken up with "Little 500", Mom's Day, and Fiji Isle. Of course, the I sle takes about three full weeks to prepare. A s you can see, between the books and big weekends there won't be much time for loafing. Also coming up this spring is our annual major social service: project. This year we are considering helping the Jaycees build their new park for Greencastle. There never seems to be enough time in the year for our many activities, but with the vigor and vitality around the house now, I'm confident we will carry out our plans quite successfully.
