Semester changes bring flu, vaccine and snow wm Surprise snow came down not when Santa visited Jackson School with Ferguson students; not while Mari- ners collected for Toys for Tots over Christmas vacation; not when mid-winter exams dampened spirits; not while panicking Mariners lined up in the gyms and library to re- ceive the tuberculosis test; but on beautiful spring day. And even then Mariners came to schoool. School closes early so students can get out of slush covered halls into snow covered cars. Snow piles up as students file out. Tuberculosis vaccines didn’t phase some students. Another painless shot in the arm for Mary Chris Brown. LIFE 23
