Bom Squad: The Return During the 2014 spring pep rally, amidst a haze of class rivalries and excitements, the Boms gave their third performance since 2011. After the water balloon toss that failed miserably, the Boms were handed the field to perform, and perform they did.

Garden Color your World By Maureen O’Connell Gardens are all about color, making it a fundamentally important element in garden design. While adding interest and variety to the landscape, colors can affect emotions, spatial percep- tion, light quality, and balance. A useful tool in creating color schemes is the color wheel. Remember that from your grammar school art class? You might recall that it includes the three primary colors of red, blue, and yellow; three secondary colors (a mix of two primaries) of green, orange, and violet; and six tertiary colors (a mix of one adjacent primary color and a secondary color), such as red-orange. Using one, several, or all of these colors, you can create a monochromatic, analogous, or complementary scheme. Continued on page 16.
