Wacky Weather Michelle Miller and Rachel Riviera wait patiently in the heat while Rick Clark jump-starts his car. N ature seemed to have a grudge against school when phenomena such as intense heat and Hurricane Gloria caused several school closings in the fall. For the first two weeks of the year, sweltering weather made life ex¬ tremely uncomfortable. Some, however, found the heat a blessing in disguise, as school was closed after se cond lunch everyday for about seven days. Some rushed to the beach to catch some rays , while others spent the free time wallowing in cool, air- conditioned homes. However, to some students ' despair, the temperature eventually dropped and students attended school for six periods again. Just as things were getting back normal, the elements went at it again. Hurricane Gloria came whooshing up the east coast, causing destruction wherever she hit. Meteorologists warned she was heading straight for Hampton, so schools closed again be¬ cause of the weather. Anticipating a great storm, citizens taped up their windows and stocked up on batteries. All of our scuttling and precaution were in vain, for Gloria barely touched us. As most students agreed however, it was nice to have another free day. After getting out of school early because of the heat, Michelle Miller, Rachel Riviera and Donna Carneal Leslie Lambright amuses Laurie Meseroll and Deadra pile into Rick Clark ' s car in hopes to get home soon so Blevins by sliding off a car. they can prepare themselves for Hurricane Gloria.

It seemed as if the change in uniform had renewed and revita¬ lized students ' spirits. This was natural, though, for when one looks good, one feels good, too. This new vitalilty was evident throughout the year, as the uniforms lit up the football field during games.
