STARTING SCHOOL in August is un- Lower - COLD TEMPERATURES brought with them the need to bundle up in coats, scarves, popular in the first place. But when hats, and gloves. But despite the below freezing weather, Mike Varipapa, Sarah Fitzgerald, Classroom temperatures reached above 90 degrees, conditions became 3 almost unbearable. Other area school systems let students out of school under these conditions. Although win- dows and doors were opened and electric fans used, the first few weeks of school were a struggle. Fall arrived, and, although tempera- tures cooled off, the weather was un- seasonably warm. November tempera- tures reached into the sixties and seventies with sunny skies. Winter brought some record lows with it, several days reaching temperatures of single-digit-degrees. Another record was set in the winter of '75-'76. For the first time, High Point City Schools were allowed to be postponed for an Q. hour due to icy road conditions not caused by snow, but by freezing tem- peratures and precipitation. Unseasonably warm temperatures in January were followed by, again, very cold days. Weather in the '75-'76 school year was varied, fluctuating from very cold to rather warm. On February 1, however, the ground hog saw his shadow, signifying another six weeks of winter weather. Buck Yarborough, and Sid Davis continue to stand outside in the cold. L' . . Above - WARM TEMPERATURES and sunny skies was the forecast for the last lingering days of October. Miss Liza Taylor, Mike Pierce's student teacher, takes advantage of the weather and treats a Western Cultures class to an hour out-of-doors under the trees. 25
