When the temperatures of clouds are between 10 degrees fahrenheit and -4 degrees fahrenheit snow begins to form. These very small particles are of interest to skiers. farmers and the rural school of North Scott. Without the technical terms and weather details. stu- dents know exactly what it means to wake up to a white winter wonder- land with sheets of ice covering the lane, street, gravel road, highway or interstate. Mr. Dean Basset, Director of Operations for the district, is charged with the responsibility of determining whether our roads are passable on inclimate days. He then passes his recommendation to Dr. DeLuca who has final authority as to whether school will be held or not. For two days in December fthe 15th and the l6thy North Scot schools and other local schools shut down because of the winter storms. So what do students do when they have an unexpected day off from school? Senior Lisa Tee said. l like to go shopping if the weather isn't to bad or watch soaps. Kerry Clark, sophomore, said with a smile, I like to burn my textbooks to keep warm. Sleep in. exclaimed Tim Holmes, junior. Daryl Fisher. sophomore, said with a sigh, l think they are boring because usually it's too cold outside so all you can do is stay inside. and only the soaps are on.

Wzzfzwf Wm Mme foe... Weekends - to most students it meant no school for two days. but it was a chance for people to enjoy themselves or try to earn a living. Many students went to the games to cheer on Lancer sports teams, sup- port Lancer Productions. and many other school activities. while others were forced to go to work. While jobs ranged from cleaning to retail. many people enjoyed their jobs for reasons other than a weekly pay- check. People could make friends through their jobs and often met people they never would have met before. Others decided to go to the mall and participate in their favorite hobby - shopping. To some, this meant spending the day walking around and trying to find the perfect outfit. while others simply res- tocked their closets. The saying that when the going gets tough. the tough go shopping was true, as many hard earned paychecks were blown that way. lt didn't really mat- ter what you did onthe weekends as long as you got to do something that you wanted to do.
