Student Life Fun, Frolics and No Homework Holidays were a time in which many students re- laxed and had a break from the day-to-day pressures of school. Every student had a preference for vacation time: however, most preferred Christmas vacation because it is the longest break and it is right in the middle of the school year, sophomore Adam Ring said. There were other holidays throughout the year such as Labor Day, Thanksgiving, spring break, Memorial Day, and summer. Most students did not see any problems with vacations. l like having them spread out through the year, senior Debbie Hultz said. On the other hand, some students would like to see even more vacations. I-would like to have my birthday off because I think it needs to be celebrated, junior Mike Mills said. The longest holiday was summer vacation. For most students, summer meant three entire months without the worries of school. With the long break in summer, some students had the op- portunity to travel to various places and to catch up on their favorite pastimes which they did not have time to do during the school year. Even though summer was three months long, some students thought that it was too short.

Lack of snow doesn 't dampen season spirit Republic bank time, 12:15. Temperature 72. On January 20, this unusual Dallas winter seem- ed more like spring, but the changing weather did not stop students from enjoying winter. HI like the cold and snow, when there is snow, senior Andrea Bergman said. The winter weather provid- ed a good environment for many things to do, including skiing, skating, and enjoying the snow. Other students avoided the cold and ice and enjoyed the warmth of the sun. I went to Hawaii. lt's nice to have a change or something different, senior Missy Moje said. Because of the winter holidays, many people used the winter vaca- tion as a chance to visit fami- ly and friends. I went to a retreat at camp and my grandparents visited us, sophomore Audrey Nassif said. No matter how winter was spent, there was something special about it. Many students agreed that their favorite thing about winter was the snow, cold, and ice even though Dallas did not have too much of all three this year. Winter had a Ucleanness and beauty to it, Audrey Nassif said. QKatzmanJ Sophomore Mike Craig and senior Anne Hensley stretch before riding the lift on the band ski trip in Taos.
