winter There were many printable and unprintable words to describe our recent winter. The word most frequently used by most people was SNOW. Thought by many to be the coldest and snowiest win- ter in memory, late busses and cars were common due to the record amount of snowfall and extreme cold. To some, snowmo- biles seemed to be the only logi- cal way of travel. Indoor sports were popular with basketball dominating week- ends and various girls sports con- tinuing on during the week. Weekend skiing was plentiful due to the overabundance of snow. As a good many students prepared for that long awaited trip to Flor- ida, others would have to stick it out until the sun made its return- ing trip north.
