In defiance of the freezing cold temperatures, Morton West students Qbelowy gather to play football in a field blanketed with snow. Braving the extremely cold temperatures, Betsy Baley fbottomj changes into her ice skates at the ice skating rink in Forest View Park. Inspired by an early snow fall, Kelly Steffan Qrightj prepares a snowball to use on a friend from the snow accumulation on Morton's lawn. eel? ff., 14 STUDENT LIFE

The winter of 1976-1977 chilled everyone and broke many cold tempera- ture records. Exactly ten years after the great Chicago snow of 1967, the city set a record for the number of days in a row that the tempera- ture remained below freezing at forty-three days. January was the coldest month ever recorded by local weathermen, and Sunday, January 16, was the area's coldest day of the century when the mercury plunged to nineteen degrees below zero. The month also saw a record wind chill factor of eighty-five degrees below zero. The winter, marked by the lowest average temperature on record, was so cold that Morton students feared the coming of another ice age. In an effort to protect themselves from the biting cold, two students Qtopj in heavy winter coats walk hunched over in the school parking lot to begin another day. Despite the warming appearance of the morning sun, John Gustin Qleftj casts frosted wisps of breath reflecting the excruciating cold he has endured. STUDENT LIFE 15
