With temperatures way below zero, the winter of 77 will not easily be forgotten. Practically over all of the country, people felt Mother Nature’s chilling winds and frosty snow. Due to the lack of energy to heat buildings, many factories and stores were closed. President Carter announced twice on national television to cut down on the energy consumption. Lew Wallace was closed to help do our part in conserving fuel. The all-city strike by the janitors and secretaries also added to fewer days attended by students. 1. Gentlemen, start your engines! That sounds easy enough, but with this much ice and snow, it became quite a tricky task. 2. Winter can seem very lonely at times. 3. A hazy January day’s sun sets and Lew Wallace ends another school day. 4. When all else fails, get walking. With our snowfall, be careful not to sink. 5. Mrs. Skinta and Mrs. Shelborne spent some bitter cold days picketing during the )anitor- Secretary strike. 6. No matter how cold or snowy, students can have fun in spite of the weather.
