gi? Ei ii ?Ei? 3325? lt was going to be a spirited week, lt was going to be a fun-filled sectional week. It was going to be a week different from the rou- tine. lt was. Beach Party Day, Crazy Day and Pajama Day all went down the tubes with the olympics when the Knightstown area was blan- keted with nine inches of snow on Monday, February 27. The snow itself was bad enough, but blizzard force winds com- pounded the problem. No Henry or Rush County trucks were on the roads Monday night and by Thursday well-travelled roads like R 3, ,lr ,VVLL,VVx tiig .. X f f . .

When school was first dismissed at 10:00 a.m. Monday with less than an inch of snow on the ground but more predicted, ex- citementwashighfor beingout on a snow day. It didn't matter that the hall decorating contest was called off for that evening. It didn't even bother some students when Knightstown's sectional game against Blue River was can- celled for Tuesday night, and many didn't worry about the missed computer convocation slated for Tuesday. When Thursday arrived with an- other day out, though, the new- ness had worn off. Some people, like Eric Hunt, Eric Rogers and Mr. Keesling, tried guessing how soon school would be called off for the following day. Others worried about how or if they would get to and from the rescheduled section- al game Thursday evening. Even before Friday's day off, one far-sighted student explained that it wasn't the cabin fever or activities that made him dislike the snow days but rather that, when we go back the teachers will give us twice as much work.
