venis Affect DeKalb Rh This year at DeKalb everyone was affected by some very important national events. As a result of the coal strike the school had to cut back 50 percent of their energy. Some of the ways of cutting back were with lights, cold lunch was —) served instead of hot, and ball games were played during Md the day instead of the evening. ‘The Great Blizzard of 78”’ also affected DeKalb students greatly. Thirteen snow days were missed with winds getting up to 100 m.p.h. and 52 inches of snow fell. But all in all the snow was good for snurfing and sledding if nothing else. CANDLES WERE MADE to help light the dark halls of DeKalb during their 50 percent cut back of energy. THE COAL STRIKE couldn't be forgotten as you walked down Senior hall after they turned it into the Baron Coal Mine. THE WIND BLEW, school closed and snow piled up everywhere as a result of ‘‘The Great Blizzard of 78. 8 NATIONAL EVENTS
