On apace GO Greasy rider. In preparation for a sleigh ride at the Country Club of Virginia, senior Bruce Carlton waxes his sled runners. “Think snow” passed through the minds of students and teachers alike as storm clouds gathered and temperatures dropped. Hopes of venturing to nearby mountain resorts such as Massanutten and Wintergreen to ‘conquer the slopes”’ reached a peak as the flakes began to fall fast and furious. With Richmond experiencing its coldest winter in years, Rebels recalled childhood games. As the ground became covered with a blanket of snow, ice-skates and sleds were retrieved from storage and put to use. Frozen lakes attracted leisurely skaters as well as hockey enthusiasts who utilized the benefits of Arctic air for extra practice time. Those preferring a warmer climate relied on indoor rinks, bowling alleys, and indoor tennis courts to test their skills. As the result of snow storms accumulated, neighborhoods acquired extra character from lop- sided snowmen and deserted snowforts. With snowballs flying and sleds racing, young and old alike took advantage of the harsh weather to enjoy a little old-fashioned fun and games. Fireside chat. Sophomore ta Edwards and senior Meg Edwards enjoy the fire after a day of sleding. 18 Winter Recreation
