Kwik: v 1 .1 Brrrr .... What A Miserable Winter Snow, snow, and more snowl Not only did we have snow but we had frigid temperatures as well. lt was below zero two days in December, eleven days in January, and eight days in February. The lowest temperature was -2I 0, the coldest wind chill was -80 0, and the most snow on the ground at one time was I4 inches. We had six snow days during those three months. The winter started out rather mild with the worst of the weather in late January and early February. Winter did have its good points and bad points. For instance, a bad point was the frigid tempera- tures that left motorists stranded with dead bat- teries and frozen engines. One good point is it can give students a variety of things to do outdoors such as building snowman, sledding, skiing, snow- mobiling, and ice skating. Like it or not winter comes to the Midwest every year and with it comes cold weather and fluffy white snow. Fun and frolic in it or complain and be miserable, the choice is yours to make! Girls basketball is a winter sport but. this is a bit ridiculous. Caught in action, Susan Zurn. nailed an unguarded Paul Hancock with a snow ball. Winter 4l

Kathy Firch, Ron Farwell. Bob De- Doncker, Tom Pasmore, and Radine 14 ,,,,f 2 Boney show how relaxing hypnotism can be. Bob DeDoncker is being recruited for the hypnotism demonstration following a concentration test that Palmer gave. One, Two, Three! World-reknowned hypnotist and memory ex- pert, John lvan Plamer came back by popular de- mand to entertain the students and faculty of OHS on Friday March 8, at a student council sponsored assembly. Palmer is noted as being the fastest hypnotist in the world. He said, A person's ability to be hypno- tized is not a matter of intelligence or willpower, but largely a matter of willingness and coopera- tion. Most people can be hypnotized, but some go deeper than others. Lisa Stephens, one of the people hypnotized during the assembly, said, lt was strange . . . one second I was there and the next l was in a tunnel and I was listening to Mr. Palmer. Stephens, as well as other students and faculty, were hypno- tized and made to do such things as: drive a car, eat an icecream cone, repeat phrases, and act like a washing machine. Palmer said, l prefer doing high school perfor- mances, but the biggest problem is in the booking with the schools while on the road, due to travel- ing, connections, and scheduling. Palmer entertains as well as amazes more than 93 schools and colleges a year. Also, he performs at nightclubs and benefits. Palmer has appeared with such stars as Barbara Mandrell, George Go- bel, Henny Youngman and the Statler Brothers. Assembly 43
