Students in Mr. Kevin Smith's geometry class were literally in agony when their anxiously-awaited day of kite-flying turned out to be one step away from a blizzard. It seemed like the snow just didn’t know when to quit, and the Blazers were becoming edgy as the snow became rain and the carefully nurtured Florida tans faded in absence of sun. Finally, the last ray of hope was dying for the student body. That was when the spring decided to make its debut with the popping of buds and the renewed hope of sunshine right around the corner.
