Snow-Skiing, Icy Roads, and Sciiool Closings ... It ' s All a Part of The Winter Scene Just like summer, win- ter is a time to iiave fun. From snowball fights to skiing, winter has a special place for every- one. Everyone likes to wake up and find eight inches of new snow on the ground then turn on the radio and hear the words, Classes in South Bend School Corporation have been canceled. It ' s a time of rejoic- ing for all. Though sometimes it is not too much fun when it ' s so deep that one can not even get out of the house or the electricity is off. That some- times is worse than going to school. T hate it when my electricity goes off, 1 don ' t even bother thinking about coming to school, even if it wasn ' t can- celed 1 can ' t take a shower so whats the point of going to school! said an anonymous senior. A favorite sport of many Clay students is downhill skiing. In Michigan there are a great deal of places for Clay students to ski. From the famed Swiss Valley to Boyne Mountain, there is a place for everyone, beginner and expert alike. Swiss is not that bad, but it doesn ' t even compare to Colorado, said senior Steve Knitter. Cross country skiing is pretty popular also. Knoll- wood Golf Course is the place for many Clay students. 1 just ski out my back door and have a blast, said senior Lisa Brown. Snowball fights also pro- vide excitement for many stu- dents. Though it ' s not allowed in the parking lots at Clay, stu- dents find other opportunities to vent their frustrations. Many students during the winter months eagerly antici- pate the upcoming Spring Break. Students plan trips ev- erywhere from the snow cov- ered slopes of the up and com- ing Steamboat, Colorado to the sand and sun of southern Florida. Fort Lauderdale has always been a big draw to many Clay students. Though some people do not like winter and snow be- cause of the temperature and the road conditions, plent of students like it. Totally oppo- site of the sunny and hot days of summer, winter is a time to dress in wool sweaters and heavy jackets. As summed up by sophomore Maren Kuller, It ' s a welcome change of pace. — Doug Mildebrecht The Winter Scene 21
