FINALE This X one's for OOO Mother Nature by Carrie Wagaman Today, the dusty trail is covered with mass technology, computer wizardry, and instant everything. Roughing it is living without cable TV. So what happens when large numbers are plunged into dark- ness, forced to survive like pio- neers without electricity? Chaos. Anxiety. Stress. Within hours on March 18, a late-winter ice storm attacked all of Kansas, draping trees, houses, and electrical lines with icicles. Two options for surviving the chilling temperatures inside includ- ed wrapping in piles of blankets or moving in with relatives. Opting for the first choice, senior Nancy Mohler's family bundled for warmth. Taking the second option, sen- ior Ronnie Spence's family moved in with his grandmother. Even though she's family, l felt awkward doing normal things, Spence explained. I didn't feel like I could go to the fridge when- ever I wanted like l do at home. Class ot '84 chooses warm spring day tor traditional celebration Senioritis strikes To whom it may concern: As usual for a Tuesday, Mike prepared for his Washburn class and Robin prepared for school. They went their ways, but Flobin returned home sick. Mike went to trig class but was stricken with a not unique syndrome which made it inappropriate to continue his classes. I re- quest your consideration in his case with an unexcused absence. Jon M. Rueck Sunshine on my shoulders. Seniors enjoy spring sunshine de- spite the cool breeze. Photo by Greg Abbott.
