Snow Bound By mid-January, when Bay hit 35 inches of standing snow, the city had only four more inches to go before it equaled 1979-80’s total of 39 inches. . . . and the winter was only half over! The abundance of snow provided the essential ingredient for many of Bay students’ favorite outdoor activities. A snowball fight was a great oppor- tunity to get some fresh air and exer- cise. “It’s a riot when it is snowing hard and there are lots of kids par- ticipating,” commented Wendy Williams. Skiing, both cross country and down- hill, was especially popular among stu- dents. Mark Sullivan stated, ‘‘Downhill skiing is the greatest thing in the world because it’s fast and exciting. Plus, you can meet a lot of girls!” John Denis, who’s been cross country skiing for two years said, ‘‘Cross coun- try skiing is more convenient than down- hill, especially in Ohio.” The sledding hill off of Cahoon was a favorite place to go for Bayites of all ages. In addition, Bay harbored four skating rinks. “This has been a really great winter for out- door SpOrtS.” -Chris Neiman But with the arrival of snow came the inevitable need to clear sidewalks and driveways. Those who owned of had access to a snowblower had it easy. The less fortunate had to use the con- venient shovel. Even though snow was piled high and the temperatures were sometimes below zero, students could not resist ventur- ing out into the wilderness to pursue their favorite winter activity. With Ms. Sue Otto's permission. Jeff Hawk and Howie Popp do the required 12-minute run on cross-country skis. Both have their own equipment and go skiing for pleasure at neighboring country clubs.
