Unpredictable weather during the winter of 1982 and Garrett’s reluctance to decide quickly whether or not to close school caused students many heart- aches. Because radio stations were so slow to report school closings, students were seen forming ski caravans in order to get to school in blizzard conditions. After all, who wants to take the chance of missing a geometry test? Radio stations were also sometimes wrong (much to the delight of students). Several were known to announce a two- hour delay. So while half of Garrett’s ee he ae ce Unpredictable weather causes indecision students were busily occupied at school, the other half were home snug in their beds. These lay-a-beds were in for quite a surprise. When waking up two hours later they learned that school was not going to start as late as they thought. In spring, while Fort Wayne was drowning in its flood waters, Garrett students were getting out their lifeboats so they could catch the bus. After a week of nearly perfect weather during spring break, students returned just one day before snow again cancelled school for the 14th day. TOP LEFT—Molly Wappes, freshman, skis to school.
