Old Man Winter's Out To Getcha’ As the first few snowflakes fell to the ground, anxious’ students gathered around the radio to hear the announce- ment that school was closed. This winter, we had our fair share of cold weather, snow, and sleet. We bundled up like we had never done before. In January, a vio- lent snowstorm closed school for six days. The days off from school were spent earning a few extra dollars shovel- ing snow, sledding, ice skating, or having a snowball fight. With the snow came drafty halls and hot furnaces. The campus-style format of the school meant a ‘‘rude awakening”’ to the elements every day. Both students and teachers realized after the first few days of cold weather that they wouldn't be able to escape the icy nip of Jack Frost once they were off the bus or out of their cars and safely in the school build- ing. Quite simply, it was cold outside! As the thermostat slowly sank, we hud- dled into coats and sweaters, clutched chalk and pencils awkwardly through the bulk of gloves and mittens, and silently shivered with glazed expressions on our faces.

Ceremonies Emphasize Achievement ‘Being tapped into an honor society is one of the main highlights of your year. It’s used to recognize those students who have excelled in service to the school and in academic progress,” said Quill and Scroll President Lila Ghatak. The two honorary societies, National Honor Soci- ety and Quill and Scroll, held individual tapping ceremonies to induct new mem- bers. Selected students were required to have high scholastic averages and lead- ership within the school. The faculty ap- proved each prospective member. Tap- ping became an important aspect of school life. Emphasis was put on aca- demics as well as service. AS we moved into new directions, honorary societies took on more significance while preserv- ing traditions handed down over the years.
