S-S-Sure It's S-S-Spring!
It happened at 6:30 on the night of March 20. *
Although no one heard a gong or a shout of "Hurrah," it happened. Quietly and with no ceremony the sun crossed the vernal equinox and—it was spring!
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 24,1945
No one raced madly around throwing windows open or took the blankets off their beds, but students did shed winter coats for lighter spring jackets and rain coats.
A few skirts and sweaters were exchanged for cotton dresses and anklets were forgotten as coeds trotted to classes with stockingless feet thrust into old "saddles" or moccasins. White accessories became the style as the V-12's exchanged their blue hats for white ones.
A few sun baths were taken by the eager ones and a slight tinge of pink (preferably called "tan" by the same eager ones) appeared on the winter paleness of the skin.
And, now, a month later, students are wondering what the rush was. The ever-new spring feeling of freedom disappeared with the reappearance of black clouds and cold winds. Students were yanked back into winter clothing and spring outfits were again pushed into the back of the closet, but this time with an "it can't last much longer" touch. Campus Fights Winter
The campus, refusing to be fooled by Old Man Winter, went blithly on its way with spring house cleaning. Ten storm doors, erected every winter to keep some of the cold wind out of the buildings, were removed in a half day by a crew of eight men.
The trees fought to keep their newly sprouted buds from being jerked away from them by strong winds as did students who clutched hats or scarfs. Lilacs blossomed with an arrogant air, as if knowing the beauty they lent to the scene. The grass, knowing that it had a reputation to keep, grew so fast that it had to be cut even before the return of the cold weather.
The dandelions, not to be outdone by the grass, seemed to thrive on the cooler weather and waved brazenly in the faces of those students planning D-Day.
Gardeners Await Sprnig
The street lights along the campus drive started their spring vacation, not going to work until 8 p.m. wheras in January they started their vigil a little after 5 p.m.
Ivy turned green and began to climb along the walls of the buildings lending them an Old-World enchantment.
No flowers have been transplanted, but the beds were prepared a few weeks ago and the gardeners are waiting for the return of warm weather before setting out the plants.
