The Herald Bulletin - "Where the Sun is: After 60 years, Spring Break still rules among college students" Article
Editor's Note: The following excerpt is from the Herald Bulletin article titled Where the Sun Is: After 60 Years, Spring Break Still Rules Among College Students by Rodney Richey.
According to the Web site TripSmarter.com, one of the endless locations that pop up when searching online with the words “Spring Break,” it all began with the ancient Greeks and their celebration of spring and the rejuvenation of the earth. At such times, the elders would notice that young folk would grow restless and playful.
In more modern times, the observances of Easter and Passover — and the accompanying time off from school — allowed such raucous good times to flourish, especially with the annual festival that preceded Lent, called Mardi Gras in the U.S.
The tale told by TripSmarter.com says, “America never really caught the Spring Break bug … until the First World War, when American Doughboys serving in France watched, wide-eyed with wonder, as the Europeans would temporarily halt Spring Offensives, and instead, party.”
The Web site even makes a guess — perhaps with tongue in cheek — about a revered Spring Break tradition.
“Miraculously, scantily clad women would appear over the trenches, dancing and prancing about like nymphs. Unfortunately, it was discovered that many, if not most, of these ‘ladies’ were in fact men. America’s farm boys and day laborers were horrified, and therefore made the phrase ‘Show us your ----!’ a Spring Break staple (which has since been adopted by Mardi Gras).”
