“Blizzard of '66”’ Highlights Session Worried students crammed for mid-term exams held on the 19, 20, and 21 of January, and after a four-day weekend, the next semester began on January 25. However, to their delight, pupils discovered that eight days of unexpected vacation started the next day. The “blizzard of '66’’ had left its mark, and school was closed until February 4. SCA elections captured the school’s attention for two weeks in February. After nominations and campaigning, final elections took place on February 23. February 25 marked a historic day in the school’s his- tory — the winning of the Central District Basketball Championship in a triumph over Prince George, 46-45. March began with two series of tests, National Merit Scholarship tests and United Nations tests, admin- istered March 1 and March 2, respectively. The next day the new SCA officers were installed in an assembly in which Dr. Philip Rodgerson gave the devotional. (continued) : f (ABOVE) Diane Giese of Australia speaks at the AFS Assembly.

Our Town, Prom Keep Upperclassmen Busy Eight busloads of pupils left school at noon on March 10 to journey to Charlottesville for the State Basketball Tournament, in which the team played Princess Anne of Norfolk. New staffs, both junior and senior, for the Talon, Le Journal, and Listen were announced at the annual Pub- lications’ dance, ‘‘The Land of Oz’’, on April 2; and on April 13 eight foreign exchange students spoke at the annual AFS Assembly. Thorton Wilder’s Our Town was presented on April 15 and 16 by the Junior and Senior classes. The play de- picted life and death in a small New Hampshire town at the turn of the century.
