Snow (sno), n.1 . water vapor frozen into crystals that fall to earth in soft, white flakes and spread upon it as a white layer. Sound familiar? In past years South Bend has been known to receive several inches of it and this year was no excep- tion. Few school days were cancelled because of snow, but those that were proved crucial. The first snow day came at the most opportune time for many a sen- ior who had a philosophy paper due. The next snow day fell on the first day of finals. That fluffy, white stuff had struck again for the third year in a row, forcing fourth, fifth, and sixth hour finals to be cancelled. Although there was much snow on the ground, it was relatively mild compared to past years. Tedious hours, however, still had to be spent shoveling out. To make the task worse were the subzero tempera- tures — many of which set record lows. The pile-up of snow in front of the school made complicated such simple tasks as walking to the bus. But no other thing attracted students more about snow, whether they like it or not, than an old-fashioned snowball fight in the parking lot. Although the cold was unpleasant, the students always hoped for more snow and more snow days. Winter snow: friend and foe

' Guys and Dolls ' was a success. Crapshooters, hookers, gamblers, cho- rus girls, a cop, and a mission band enliv- ened the stage, and the audience roared with laughter as the Riley Players pre- sented Guys and Dolls, a Musical Fable of Broadway in the Bendix Theatre in Century Center. The cast was headed by Mark Wilson as Nathan Detroit, the operator of a floating crap game, and Mary Ellen Merriman as Adelaide, his fiancee, a singer and dancer in a sleazy night club. Greg Showalter por- trayed Sky Masterson, a slick gambler who got involved with Sarah Brown, head of the local Salvation Army Mission, played by Kathy Rosback. Standing out in sup- porting roles were Jim Beck as Nicely- Nicely Johnson, John Berners as Sarah ' s kindly Irish grandfather, Larry Karaszew- ski as Lt. Brannigan, the nasty cop, and Chris Newman as Big Julie, a professional gambler from Chicago. The show was directed by Mr. John H. B. Kauss, with choreography by Mrs. Nancy Stroop. Mrs. Faye Nelson was in charge of costumes, and Mr. Jay Miller was the vocal director. The sets were designed, constructed, and painted by Riley art and drama students.
