Winter Sports week snowed out Winter Sports Week got off to a flying start Monday when the entire student body got the chance to see, The Jazz Singer, which was shown during the last two hours of the day. To show their spirit, students wore military outfits Monday morning. They showed up in army fatigues, dress blues, sailor outfits and even gas masks. Tuesday was a big disappointment to everyone, teachers included. lVlonday night, we received four inches of snow, and temperatures reachingwbelow zero. This caused the cancellation of the Winter Olympics. Despite the let-down, al- most everyone showed up in sweats, for sweats day. Wednesday was a rowdy day for everybody. Students got a chance to show their creativeness for ingenuity day. Clothing ranged from a student with a hospital gown in a wheelchair, to another with fisher- man's boots. Everyone mellowed out a bit when coronation became the center of attention Thursday. Looking into the crowd, you could see the tense looks on the students' faces as they WJ The Boys , William Hanna, Sheldon Holstine, Chris Caywood, Troy Reusser, seniors, and Roger Wedel, sophomore, took control on Mafia Day.
