Some went skiing or shopping, while others caught up on soap operas or sleep. Relaxation, however, was soon forgotten when school resumed lan. 5, as semester exams reminded students as well as faculty of the reality of school. This was the first year since the 1974-75 school year to have semester exams. There were only two exam periods, contrary to taking exams three times a year under the old quarter system. Some students felt it unfair to have the exams one and a half weeks after the two week-long vacation as Valerie Sams stated ill thought exams should have been before Christmas, because you forget everything during the holidays. That was the only time for exams though, unless school started two weeks earlier in the summer. The highpoint or most memorable time of january and February seemed to be lan. 20. The day was a relief to the country as the 52 Americans were released after being held hostage by Iran for 444 days. Also, on this day Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as President. The drill team traveled to International Competition in California on Feb. 5-7, and placed fourth in two categories. Feb. 9-13 was Theme Week, sponsored by Student Council. One activity was 'Button your Lip Day in which girls could not talk to guys or the guy got her 'ibuttonf' Mark Shepherd was crowned Powder Puff King as he received 45 ubuttonsf' Seniors won the powder puff football game, defeating the juniors 14-8. On Friday the 13th, the Sadie Hawkins dance was sponsored by the Senior Class with Tommy Davis serving as disc jockey. Temperatures extremed from 12 degrees on Feb. 10, to 59 degrees on Feb. 11, to 81 degrees on Feb. 20. The varsity soccer team ended its season with a 31-0-1 record, district champs two years in a row. Overall, january and February proved to be months of ups and downs, mainly ups though!

Later, the cheerleaders also performed at the freezing cold game in the afternoon. Copy and layout by Debbie Helm 21
