All during winter, students watch for weather reports indicating snow, hoping that by this great miracle, school will close. But all hopes become lost when big snows only fall during weekends and vacations, clearing up just in time for Monday. Many students falling prey to Sick-of School- itis, wish for the day that an excused absence will be applicable. Though it will never happen, a short time off would leave the students feelings refreshed. After all, a person just can't work or concentrate in this state. ff' I... i , --' L5 - -1 if - Tami Wardle Melissa Watkins Neal Warren Kim Westover jim White Eric Williams Rick Williams Michelle Wirick Donna Wood Theresa Wood Stacy Woodall Cole Word N, Marnie Yates Craig Young Sarah Zachreson Seniors 155
