PALACE if i oying a little colder climate Chris Armijo, Amy Huber, Mandy Downer, Cathy Feeney, Desiree Tulleners and Emily are spending a day in the snow.

Seemingly mild mannered students were flung from a struc- tured atmosphere of edu- cation into a world of free time, a world filled with outside activities. The average student who devoted roughly 9 hours a day or 45 hours a week to school, painstak- ingly plotted every mo- ment of this free time. Ranging from parties, movies, dating, fattening food feasts or just plain sleep, the students found this time, as described by Mandy Downer as an opportunity to escape school pressure.
