The winter of ’82 dumps 70 inches of snow The Winter of 1982 was one that will long be remembered. A total of over 70 inches of snow was accumulated over a period of three months. School was closed at least once a week, and every other day promised some “sleep-in” time. The blizzards seemed to make everyone feel like partying, and it was evident when Tom Moss slid into the pond at Violet Valley, and when Stacey Goodall slid off the road on the way to Maroa. Fender benders, stalled cars, and tow trucks were common sights this winter as were sweaters, bandanas, moon boots, and “down” jackets. 7

CO 2 CD £ a o o X £ Homecoming brings all the CCHS students closer together with the competitive drive of float building and the hopes of winning the traditional football game. Coach Labuary prepared his players well for the game against Pontiac, and Clinton looked somewhat promising the first half with an 8-6 lead. Junior Monkman scored a touchdown, but Clinton didn t have enough momentum to pull through the second half. The final score was Pontiac 27, and Clinton 8. Even with the chilling loss to Pontiac, and an even chillier evening, the CHS Spirit couldn’t be cooled. 9
