4. ■ Even though snow was not to be found there was some ' outside ' help in decorating the hoh- day season. On New Year ' s day the trees were coated with ice. The choir performs On an Evening Long Ago. Under the direction of Mr. Turley the choir annually adds to the Christmas pag- eantry. Winter without weather After the past few years of bitter winter weather, winter has taken on new meanings . . . mostly it has gained the added conotation of counting snow days. This year bitter it was not. By the end of January it had hardly even snowed, let alone gotten us out of school. Over Christmas break the number of carolers topped the number of snowmobilers. There was just no snow. There was Christmas spirit how- ever, the Christmas tree was put in the front lobby by the Science Club. Santa, Tod Boise, made it to our con- vocation. An ' International Christ- mas ' party was held by the foreign language clubs and the band marched in the Christmas parade. In the latter part of January it fi- nally snowed enough to permit ' don- uts ' in the parking lots. And it got cold enough to make us all wish for springtime or Florida. Winter 15
