Good winter gives good skiing to Sunrise-goers by Sue Davis BR skiiers had much more opportu- nity to hit the slopes due to a good year in the amount of snowfall. Ski Club members travelled to Sunrise every Monday afternoon to practice skiing techniques. Here in the White Mountains skiing for most was a favorite sport and pas- time. When out there skiing, good equipment was needed. Most BB stu- dents for instance used Scott poles, and K-2 Free style skis. Also needed were ski boots because you can't go down with cold feet CThe best are Nor- dikay. The most interesting thing about skiing '79 was that Sunrise was kept ' l H 1 r t P 1 Q, v . 3 . r open until Nlay lst because of an unu- sually long winter. Over 90 inches of snow fell throughout the season. Skiing also allowed students to get a high . For example, BB studentfski' ier Pam Blue said, lt's exciting. lt always puts me in a super mood. Other BB skiiers seemed to agree. 2 SKIING 5

Construction brings chcinges by Pamela Blue Blue Ridge is going through some pretty drastic changes. Take for instance the construction on the school grounds through the school year. The new district office was built next to the school entrance, while the art class was put in the old district office. A portable classroom was also constructed next to the cafe- teria. All the construction was really hectic. Teachers were going crazy from the hammering noises, people were falling in holes, and there was mud everywhere. Last but not least, there were broken water pipes, no heating, and perhaps worst of all, not enough bathrooms. The weather was quite a change over previous years. The snow started three months earlier and fell much heavier, which made the skiing great. But the snow had its disadvantages, too. lt made walking from one building to another a real adventure. Rain fell on snow and flooded the sidewalks, making it almost impossible to walk or drive in the parking lot without getting stuck. To end the year, on Nlarch 19, 1979 open car campus was approved on a trial basis. After the two week trial, it becamefinal. 44 6 CAMPUS LIFE ,,.,,..,, W-. M 4' M' k-5 Q f 'if rg wi ' 3 3?
