During the months of December January, February and March, most of the people who spent the summer wishing it weren’t so hot had turned the tables and were hoping it would get just a little bit warmer. Despite the cold, the winter season was generally enjoyed by BHS’ers. Although suntanning was out, other outdoor activities were in full swing. January’s snowfall found students ice skating and sledding in Bay or traveling to do a bit of cross-country or downhill skiing. The more adventurous took to skeetching or doing donuts in parking lots, while be less fortunate got stuck shoveling out their driveways. “Toboganning is my favorite winter sport and it’s really a riot. The chutes get very icy and you go down at incredible speeds,“ stated Mari Leonard. Winter driving required new skills as cars careened around corners and skidded down hills. The still uncollected piles of leaves along streets became snow covered. An addition to Bay was a full set of blue signs to ident- ify buried fire hydrants.

Since New Year’s Eve fell on a Sunday and many establishments were “dry, revelers congregated in private homes to ring in 1979. Even though everyone enjoyed at least some aspects of the season, when the groundhog popped his little head out of his hole and burrowed up through the snowbank, most were glad he didn’t see his shadow.
