The layer of snow left caused the administration to ask students not to drive the first few days back. Winter e 23 I 1 i t

Seniors had mixed feeling about the snow. til sat around and thought of all the things I could have done over spring break? said Bob Rogan. Etl enjoyed evenings in front of the fire, knowing Etbut I hate the fact that we have to go to school Saturdays and the extended graduation date.

EEOh you know - I went through my second childhood. I had snowball fights, made a circle of snow angels with Paula at the ELord help meE high school, and made the ultimate snowman. His name E was EEPeter OatmealE and he was standing on his E head, declared Anne Pistner. Lan'y Haven H eadbanger EEPeter OatmealE constructed by Anne Pistner and Jennifer Haven, is immediately noticed by a casual observer because of his unusual stance. 22 - Snow clays inter The seaSOn began as any other winter, but things changed as snow hit, bringing snowball fights and delays. Colored wrapping paper littered the hall. The remnants of ornaments and mistletoe lay nestled under the paper. Students had left for Christ- mas break, leaving the school cheerless and empty. Everyone had thrown them- selves wholeheartedly into Christmas as miniature trees went up in rooms and mistle- toe appeared in lockers. The door decorating contest al- lowed students to spread the Christmas spirit into the halls. Seventh period classes tried to out decorate each other. One class used a hymn'book to create a three dimensional ef- fect while another strung elec- tric lights around their door. The last day before break brought the exchanging of gifts accompanied by shrieks of delight. Plans for the break swam through the minds of students and faculty alike. While most all planned to relax and spend Christmas at home, some, such as Sam Branham, traveled, visiting Switzerland with his family to brush up on his skiing. With Christmas break over, exams loomed closer and closer; however, students had a long reprieve in the form of two back to back 12 inch snowstorms. The storm ruined many ski plans for the long weekend. Kevin Reger had planned to ski with friends at Silver Creek, but had to cancel when the snow hit. It took over a week to clear roads so that students could be transported safely. Students diant remain in school long because in February a third storm hit. As the snow piled up, students realized their spring break had decreased. When the roads became passable, getting together took top priority. Although basketball games had always been popular, the PH. game sold out before the J.V. half- time. Those lucky enough to get tickets saw Cave Springs lose a tight game. Finally back in school, students discovered Valen- tines Day had arrived, bring- ing declarations of love in the form of love-lines and lolli- pops. For one cent a word, couples could express their love in the Knight Letter. The more anonymous lolli- pops, distributed by the SCA, provided a more concrete show of affection. And the Valentine Card Exchange allowed couples from different schools to be Valentines. Although often viewed as a dead, boring season, snow, basketball games, and Valen- tines Day brought the winter season to life Tracey Krupski w i. o o 2 'E o F Sweets for the sweet The SCA sold Iollipops during lunches which sweethearts could send to one another.

M down Crack, a free base form of cocaine, became read- ily available on the streets. University of Maryland basketball star Len Biasl death emphasized a nation- wide campaign against drugs, particularly crack. Magazines featured articles trying to stop chemical dependencies, while television used celebrity spokesmen to tight drug use. MTV sponsored the series RAD a Rock Against Drugs, which featured rock musicians in the hopes of reaching the teenage audience. Other top stories almost always contained some element of foreign relations. For example, the Soviets captured Nicholas Daniloff, an American journalist in the USSR, in order to trade him for Andre Sakarov, a Soviet spy in the US. The plan succeeded. Another foreign country, the Philip- pines, made the headlines quite often. The Filipinos ousted Ferdinand Marcos in their revolution and voted Corazon Aquino the new president. Perhaps the largest foreign relation scandal struck closer to home. The Reagan Administration ac- quired a bit of tarnish as the Contra scandal came to light. The US. secretly sold arms to Iran and alleg- edly funneled the profits to the Contras in Nicar- agua. The questions of who actually knew about the plan remained unanswered. New York City put on a gala celebrating the hundredth birthday of the Statue of Liberty. Three days of musical programs, tall ships, and hoop-la culminated with one of the largest fireworks display ever seen on July 4. New Yorkers celebrated two more times when the NY. Mets pulled out a 4-3 come-from-behind win over the Boston Red Sox and the Giants defeated the Denver Broncos by a score of 39-20 in Super- bowl XXI. All of America cheered as Americals Stars and Stripes triumphed over Kookburra II to bring home the Americas Cup. The war raged on Lynn Bangle, ary Moore, Heather Munroe, and Beth Shiner, members of Ms. Don's Boitnott's 4th pen'od. debate the effects of the Contra scandal, Debates such as this were rarely boring and gave students a chance to discuss their views. 24' - World Events on oton y In times fLIrllI of Change, no one could describe life as monotonous. A new community aware- ness by teenagers spread, pro- voking slow as well as abrupt changes. Channel 7 News sponsored a documentary promoting community aware- ness of teen pressures, orga- nized by reporter Lyn Jack- son. Teens from five different schools came together to talk freely about their anxieties and what options they had. Ms. Jackson narrowed the nine nominees, given to her by Ms. Toni Tillman, to four a Nikki Anderson, Tina Laudato, Andy Shreeman, and Steve Ewers. In February they taped a three hour rap session that aired during March. ltTalking to others helped us to understand how we and adults can cope with our pressures. No matter how bad things get there is always a choice? stated Tina Laudato. Changes continued outside the school. Economic unrest swept through Roanoke affecting the teenage work force. Many businesses such as Ferros, Mick or Mack, and The Yogurt Factory closed, leaving students with mixed feelings. lll was glad Mick or Mack closed because it meant I had time to wrestle, commented Doug Grabowski. Neverthe- less, unemployment did cramp some lifestyles. Teenagers, long stereotyped as self-centered, showed a giv- ing attitude that helped to dis- pel this notion; The SCA sponsored a food drive in De- cember that received an en- thusiastic response. Several homerooms vied with each other to see who could bring in more cans of food. Mrs. Brenda Turnerls homeroom won with 468 cans followed by Mrs. Sandra Fergusonls with 396 cans. The thought of bringing happiness to others, not winning the first place breakfast, motivated the stu- dents. Twenty students, enrolled in Latin, met Mrs. Jewell Field and Mrs. Polly McFarlane at Liberty House and sang the traditional carols in Latin and English. To the elderly people who heard them, it did not mat- ter if they were in tune rather that they had cared enough to come. Visiting and sewing dinner to the elderly at Friendship Manor showed the Key Clubls Christmas spirit. Another group, FBLA, demonstrated their concern by spending time with the Ronald McDon- ald House guests. By appearing in Elmwood Park in late September, stu- dents supported the rally against racism in response to Ku Klux Klan activities in Virginia. Rock Against Rac- ism, organized by Billy Foster, consisted of bands like Inspec- tor 12 and Fast Passion play- ing all day. The rally gave students the opportunity to listen to their favorite bands and express their opposition to racist activities. By getting involved and giv- ing of themselves, students made their presence felt and even provoked change. Tracey Krupski A Catholic school?
