One of the coldest winters in the history of the state makes Bonnie Kallman button up her over- coat. Cramming for Exams Starts in JANUARY Bit! Can this be Florida? Lauderdaleites question when the mercury plunges to 32°. Those crew-neck sweaters that everyone got for Christ- mas sure come in handy as the coldest winter in the history of the state chilled the halls of L. H. S. Cold or not. the inevitable cramming comes into vogue as semester exams rear their ugly heads. At last, when it's all over, we heave a deep sigh and settle back to await the feared results. EBB TIDE staffers do their share of cramming as they rush wildly to and fro trying vainly to get cap- tions, counts, and copy for the February I dead- line. Student Council chooses Bobbie Blocker as January's Student of the Month, and January soars out on the U. S. satellite. Explorer. Exams aren't the only things one crams for in January. The EBB TIDE Staff crams for a February deadline. P. S. We missed it! 176
