r T -T-'Al 'l ',,Q The Long Exjprzmzse the grains of sand falling in the hour the days fell from the 1955 agenda of classes and activities. Almost unaware, we found 1956 on our calendars. With the arrival of january 3, we realized Christmas was behind us and more holidays would wait until spring. Daily we anticipated the fall of snow, instead, one morning, we found ice so slick that january 9 became an unexpected vacation. Studies became intensined. After several false alarms, exams were taken by some on january 23, 24, and 25. College bound seniors went to B. C.

The Trojanettes held their interclass competi- tions which culminated in the basketball sports day. By Washington's birthday, we felt the tired- ness of winter with its bleakness must soon be relieved. Several unseasonal warm days were good antidotes to the winter lag. In these long winter months, we still expected the services from members of the Student Council, the bank, and the school store. We expected them to carry on their service without fanfare. They were our leaders. This January-February section features the stu- dents of the freshman class.
