Long icicles hanging from the trees remind students of the snow and cold that winter brings with it. The first snow of the season gave students a long-awaited holiday. As Kevin Spencer watches with growing alarm, Beth Hefner proves to him her skill in doing one of the things that he believed she would not be able to do - tie his tie. WINTER Cold, icy mornings and freezing temperatures throughout the day signify the arrival of Winter at St. Stephens High School. Bus drivers get up early to warm up their buses on the mornings of rain and snow and run the familiar routes once more. At school the students are caught up in the hectic school life. They work long and hard on a re- search paper, strive to keep up their grades, courageously finish reading books on time, and still find time to enjoy each other's company. Athletes put in many hours of grueling practice in order to bring excellence for Indian teams and joy to the fans. Students attend all ath- letic events, giving support to all teams and take part in the fellow- ship after the many Indian vic- tories. But every few days a wan- dering eye will glance out the win- dow in hopes of a snowflake. David Guest looks for information to use in writing that unforgettable research paper. WINTER 27

Sorry Mrs. Caldwell, but you’re too late to help. In the PTA basketball game, all teachers and parents get a chance to demon- strate their skills. This is usually very interesting. 28 SPRING
