2 SPRING HOLIDAYS Cloudbursts dampen weekends Storm conditions hinder Worm weather reoreotion April showers bring May flowers . . . or so they say. Yet. Nature decided to play a trick or two this year. A warm spell during April nearly convinced anxious outdoor enthusiasts that summer was on its way. but May brought on a series of thunder- storms. tornado watches. and flood warnings. Students from around the metroplex exclaimed lament over the weather on Six Flags' Senior night. Torrents of' rain shut down rides while lightning streaked the sky. ln the parking lot, golf'-ball sized hail wielded damage to a multitude of cars, 'liwo weeks later. a similar occurrence. minus the hail. hindered evening activities lfriday and Satur- day nights. but cleared off' by mid-morning. leav- ing clear skies in the afternoon. Nevertheless. Spring did offer some pleasant diversions. The spring break. moved from its usual slot on the calendar near liaster, gave stu- dents a week long vacation in the middle of March. Wfith the arrival of Valentines Day, two stu- dent council projects brought comedy and chal- lenge into ordinary routines. Singing telegranis were bestowed upon unsus- pecting recipients during the morning classes. .juniors Steve Mylius. Rob Vihite. and Mary lriin- ble. along with seniors Belinda Goodman, lieth Roland. Susan lforrester. 'liommi llall, Kay liord. .lerilynn VC'hite. Cyndi King, clothed in an array of red and white, paraded through the halls. stopping in classes and singing Happy Valen- tine's Day to You to those who were honored with a telegram from a friend or admirer. ln first period. girls pinned red construction hearts to their shirts and stopped speaking to all members ofthe opposite sex. Ifithey did. they had to give up their hearts. The contest was to see which boy could win the most hearts. After the end of third period. when the competition was officially over, photog- raphers Rick Meich and Keith Ilughs jointly owned enough hearts to defeat their challengers. Keith. not having enough to win alone. gave his to Rick. who was pronounced winner of' the con- test. Throughout the clay. Vocational Health Occu- pation liducation members distributed carnations to students whose names were written on orders several days earlier. Xuckergrams. the name given to suckergrams by the German Club. were also given out to stu- dents on Valentines Day. The week before liaster. French Club students sold small baskets for Z5 cents each. The baskets. containing candies. chocolate, and plastic eggs. and wrapped with colored cellophane. were put together by members of the club. According to the sponsor. Mrsnleannie Fisher. the project went over very well and the club made tjuite a bit of money on it. FTA members led by Diana McGill set up feast for teachers on Valentine's Day. 'l'he newspaper staff recognized April liools Day hy putting out an April Ifools edition of the paper. It included an article about the lakes in the halls when it rained and a story about llaltom students blowing up the water tower. St. Patricks day was ignored by most. except for a pinch or two. l AW , , i -s..s j f-:Q i :if -- On Valentine-'s Day James Ripple collects hearts from girls who can't resist talking to him.
