, Winter Winter is the most uncherished season because it drives everyone from the sunny outdoors to the confines of four walls Winter can be summed up in one word, boring. Unlike the other seasons, winter forces everyone from the outside to the confines of four walls (except in the lunchroom where there are seven). With the boredom that IS brought on by the endless cold and limited sunshine, students and ad- ministrators are forced to think up original forms of entertainment (com- monly called fun) in order to overcome v-..-j!r the three worst dreaded months of the year. This year ' s list included multiple basketball games and wrestling matches, Miss Pinson Valley, the all- new lip sync contest, and of course the ever-popular Valentine ' s Day. The most common way of alleviating the boredom that winter brought was predicting: Predicting the Super Bowl and predicting how the Miami Fans would recover, predicting Miss Pinson Valley, and predicting the weather. The latter element was one prediction that very few people have mastered. School was interrupted quite often this year by snow or by the lack of it. No one can forget the Big Storm that was supposed to bury the entire state beneath at least four inches. After hours of panic buying, everyone set- tled down for the . . . weekend, not the four inches. No matter how one survived the winter, everyone was glad that it was over. Even after three months of fun- filled basketball games. Pageants, con- tests and snowstorms, no one seemed to want winter to stay as everyone had all their shorts, swim- suits and white shirts prepared for the first hint of warm weather. WINTER 33

An Evening of Poise and Grace On the evenings of January 12 and January 13, Pin- son was graced by the presence of some of the loveliest ladies in all the Valley. Anyone passing by the high school and noticing the overwhelming lack of parking spaces would immediately be assured that something special was taking place. Upon entering the gym one could sense the air of anticipation and elec- tricity generated by the enthusiastic audience. Sud- denly the lights dimmed and for the next four and half hours, the people attending were thrilled and aston- ished by the exceptional performances of these talented ladies. 34 MISS PINSON VALLEY
