Previously dormant short-sleeved (and no-sleeved) shirts were in full bloom last week as Homewood students basked in the glory of an early spring. Many students flocked to The Beach, the stretch of lawn in front of the Milton S. Eisenhower Library, to chat, play Frisbee, strum their guitars or just lie among the green blades and reflect.

Dueling guitars with listener--Rabindra Watson, Nrupen Bhausar and Mohaned Alhumadi.
