The spirit of the entire school was bolstered by a barrage of unforget- table winter events, beginning with the SCA's after-school Christmas party and sock-hop. This vacation send-off liv- ened the school's Yuletide spirit, while that night the Juniors completed the holiday mood with a Christmas dance featuring “Bagget’. Adding to the Christmas spirit, Parry McCluer sports stood out in holiday competition, with both the basketball team and wrestling squad taking tournament trophies. Shortly after returning from vaca- tion, some unusual weather provided a memorable break. An inconspicuous layer of freez ing rain fell about 7:00 a.m., spurring numerous freak acci- dents, and virtually paralyzing the city. An order to close schools finally came, which allowed students to venture out into the midst of the early morning melée. The Juniors received their class rings on January 30 and the seniors revived ‘a surprisingly good-sounding ‘‘Blues Express” to play for the Ring Dance. Topping off a successful Valentine's carnation sale, the cheerleaders spon- sored the Sweetheart's Dance, which featured the “Disco Kid from Rich- mond. The following weekend, the Ju- niors sponsored a dance, which would be better off forgotten. Featuring Susan Thompson from WREL, this fiasco was doomed from the start. Around 9:30, someone decided that a better sound was coming from the jukebox at Ted's Restaurant, and eventually everyone wound up there. To the surprise of almost everyone, snow ended the notable winter mo- ments. A spell of almost summer-like weather was broken when a consid- erable amount of snow fell on the area. Unfortunately, it did not stick on the roads sufficiently to warrant the closing of city schools, so students were forced to go to school on the only snowy day of the year. URFORGEUUASLE g the area
