putter, sputter, CLUNK! That was the worst sound I had ever heard. It was bad enough that it was 5:00 A.M., but a spring break trip that had been in the planning for nearly a month had gone down the tubes. I could almost smell the ocean water and hear the students scream- ing at the top of their lungs, SPAR LY!25- but I didn’t even get out of Lynchburg!!! Some were luckier than I and actually made it out of town. The hottest sports on the coast this spring break were definitely Nagshead, Myrtle, and Daytona beaches. Nags- head was an overwhelm- ing favorite among our students with Myrtle Beach a close second. Beachin’: Carrie Porter, Katie Black- well, and Anne Garrard stop from catching some rays to smile for a pic- ture. The weather at the beach was a hot 80 degrees, but by the end of the week it turned to a rainy, cold 40 de- grees. 26 Spring Break Those that ventured farther south to Daytona such as Anne and David Hawkins as well as Karen Gallagher were well re- warded with sunny skies and beautiful beaches. These fortunate few en- joyed the sun, the water, and the nightlife, but Meredith Holt thought the greatest feeling came from “not having any idea what day it was” and not really caring. Those that joined me in my stay in the Burg en- joyed wonderful weather, but not too many exciting adventures. Shawn Phil- lips who stayed in town felt that he had “never worked so hard” in his entire life. Some of those not working were looking for work.

The official deadline for most col- leges had arrived and those fateful letters were in the mail. For many these letters would either make or break their vaca- tion. On a lighter note, N.A. Porter’s vacation at Ban- ner Elk, N.C. took a few unexpected twists. On Tuesday the weather was sunny with a warm 75 degree temperature. Within the next 48 hours the temperature had dropped 43 degrees to 32 with 8 inches of snow on the ground. Even spring break was just slightly out of control! — Chip Tucker

ON 7 D IN SMOKE On Saturday, January 30, smoke bellowed from the school walls as spectators helplessly watched. When the thirty fire and rescue workers and twenty policemen had toiled for about forty-five minutes to control the blaze, the north pod of Linkhorne Elementary School had burned. The fire destroyed six classrooms and did heavy damage to four others, leaving the stains of black smoke all over the school walls. Working through the night and all day Sunday, and giving up their Super Bowl time, workers prepared the school for the next school day. Despite their brilliant effort, 180 of the 630 school students had to be moved to the 28 Mini-Mag Villa Maria Academy, vacated ever since the Catholic school was closed several years ago. Students were back in school on the following Monday and those students moved to the Villa were asking questions and breaking in their “Linkhorne Villa.’’ Teachers from other schools donated textbooks and teachers at their “new” school each received a “care package” of sup- plies, including glue, scissors, chalk, and other items. Said Merle Herndon, principal of Linkhorne Elementary, “The school climate really has been positive. Everyone worked together. They’ve rolled with the punches.” — Jason Campbell ” UTSIDE THE LONG SHORT OF {7 In the fall, the fashion world predicted that skirts would be shorter by spring, moving to- wards the mini-minis of the ’60’s. But people didn’t accept this wave of fashion. Although some hemlines decreased, the mini tended to get longer, showing more knee and less thigh. Long skirts were also in style again this year for those who chose not to wear the mini. Wool, or wool look-alikes, re- placed denim as the popular material for those longer skirts. Paralleling skirt lengths, long hair seemed to be the fad. — Molly Howerton
