So goes the last lap of the
knowledge relay. The last six
weeks has at last come upon
US. It's all come at once :

spring rains, and the omnipo-
tent spring fever.

days. Mike, Bryan, and Paul
Hale left for Panama City
Thursday. Things went fine
until they hit Jackson. Then
they went even better, so Pa
mama City was packed away
for another time, and Jackson
became the victim of quite a
weekend. Hear tell Bryan
found him a girl in the midst.
