Caution is password, whether walking or driving Fall lingered, unwilling to give way to winter's icy grip, but losing ground each succeeding day. It was not yet light when we left for school in the moming and almost dark when we got home at night. Mud puddles froze, then ice began to form on -the surface of lakes. Clouds hung low in the sky, threatening rain And when the ram came so did icicles and slippery Streets Falls were numerous, especially for those with leather soled shoes But as the cold winds began to howl, we bundled up in bright woolens and cozily watched from inside Spare time was spent roasting marshmallows around a crackling fire, concentrating on a do-or die game of bridge, or braving the weather to get to a swim meet or basketball game 1As the rabbit who changes coats with the coming winter the building takes on a whole new dress after the first snow fall Wayward winds then drift snow high in the corners and create gravity defying icicles The cold IS never more noticed as during the interminable wait for the bus in the morning John Thomsen and Charlotte Bosworth shiver in the brisk air half hoping the bus will come and half hoping it has gotten stuck in the snow The beauty of winter soon disappears when the temperature goes up and the snow turns to slush Those unfortunates with out boots find walking hazardous and cars slip and slide on uncertain pavement L...- MQW' Flaw 'll Q- -- , Laws 'E 5 25 , . l - P . .
