Duke Memorial seen through a snowy haze The wind howled through the trees and the eerie sound it produced sent chills up and down your spine. Sounds like something from Edgar Allen Poe ' s Fall of the House of Usher. In actuality it was Thursday morning, January 22, here on campus. After 12 hours, over 10 inches of snow had ac- cumulated on the ground and it was still coming down, It was the nearest thing to a blizzard Greensboro could get. Throughout the halls of Binford girls screamed It ' s snowing — classes are cancelled! For the first time in 100 years, Guilford College classes were cancelled because of snow. Yes, it was an exciting day; people pelted each other with snowballs, nu- merous showmen were erected only to be toppled by others, and the weekend parties started early. For some it was a five day vacation to catch-up on class work, the pros- pects of spending the time in a warm library weren ' t too bod either. The snow kept us out of school for 3 days. Icy conditions kept professors from venturing to school. The fun soon became a nuisance, the ice being the greatest hozzard, it lingered for over a week making walking difficult and driv- ing almost impossible. For those of us from up North, where snow was a frequent occurrence, vi- sions of a fire in the hearth, hot cocoa in our tummies and freshly baked cookies danced in our heads. For others it meant winter whiteness, a call home to tell the folks, or just a good reason to sit and stare out the window. It was one of those rare moments to return to childhood and frolic in the snow.
