Welcome Sweet
Springtime
by Willard Ctutcfamyer
Reprinted from the Cluster,
March 29,1967.
It was spring at Mercer and the
scent of lilacs and $10 textbooks
filled the air. The eampi was quiet,
as the students who had received
last quarter’s grades crept silently
to their dingy rooms to slash their
wrists.
1 was standing in the bookstore
line; it was long, as usual, but was
moving rapidly. We started in front
of Tattnall Square Church but had
moved up to the side of the Ad
Building in a matter of hours.
As we waited
in line one stu
dent pointed out
a tree from
which a profes
sor was hanged
by the adminis
tration for using
the same book
two quarters in a
row. It was ra
ther bold of him. I won’t say the
books at Mercer are expensive, but
this is the only place in town where
Classic Comics sell for $3.25.
Checks not accepted.
As we moved down by Tattnall
Tech's answer to the Grand Can
yon 1 noticed Basil Nev^rsweat sit
ting by the Eicon Building jabbing
pins into a voodoo doll of his his
tory professor.
Basil was a model student, fight
ing his way back onto the proba
tion lists quarter after quarter, and
refusing to let academic regulations
break his spirit. But this quarter his
shaky D average took a turn for the
worse. Two F’s, a D, and 26 over-
cuts will ruin the best of averages
and Basil was, like so many of his
friends, asked to turn in his library
card and move on to Georgia.
“I thought you had a C knock
ed,” 1 said, using a colloquialism
common here at the University.
“Me too,” Basil conceded. “Every
time any of the profs asked a ques
tion I was the first one to raise a
hand . . . but by the time I got
back,” he added, “the question was
always answered.”
Alas poor Basil ... I knew him
well.
Finally I got to the bookstore,
just in rime to see it close. Panic
was mine as all of my profs had
given the usual light reading as
signments on the first day of class
es (400 pages) and if I hadn't
been able to purchase three used
books for half price ($41.50) church
would have been out.

Cheerleaders Show Change
With Cheers and Uniforms
by Ginny Scherer
ITS TM IASS
RIOULAR
MODBL
With the close of this year’s basketball season comes the
end of a successful year for the cheerleaders. This year’s cheer
leading squad, with the help of Miss Jones, its sponsor, has
brought many new changes and improvements in the cheers
and uniforms.
The student* seemed to approve
of the cute new uniforms which the
girl’s ordered last October. Instead
of all black, the cheerleaders were
dressed in bright orange sweaters
and black, white and orange pleat
ed skirts. The outfits were shorter,
easier to cheer in, and much more
comfortable! They looked quite a
bit more spirited. The cheers did
too! New yells were added, a few
soul chants, and some cheers with
round-offs, splits and different mo
tions. This was quite an improve
ment over last years cheers, which
were repetitious and dull!
Fran Hart and Dori Ripley de
serve a hand for doing such a good
job as co-captains this year. The
remaining four, (Sandra Rich,
Susan Strange, Ginny Scherer and
Pam Nelson), and the two junior
varsity cheerleaders, ( C 1 a u -
dia Young and Shirley Harrison),
added many new ideas and helped
compose a squad of eight very co
operative, imaginative and talented
girls! Yes it has been a very good
year, and the future looks even
brighter!
