Heat Wave Shortens Tempers, Pants, and School Day ' it . Si ! ■ .fyjv Vv A- 2. High record temperatures have caused early dismissals for students since the begin¬ ning of the school year. This is a first for Patrick County High. Staggering heat reaching the hundred degree mark made it difficult for students to concentrate on their schoolwork. It was reported that “Meadows of Dan Ele¬ mentary and Patrick County High School probably suffered the most.” Temperatures in these school classrooms ranged from 92° to 100°. Al¬ though electric fans were used in most unairconditioned classrooms, the students found little relief. Swimming pools and creeks seemed to be a big topic of conversation during and be¬ tween classes. The longing for the cool water was great. Shorts, tee-shirts, and san¬ dals were a big part of students and teachers wardrobes for school. Some teachers, whom we would least expect, wore shorts and sandals, smiled, and kept on walking. The schools were not the only ones to feel the sun’s burning rays, as farmers watch their crops devastated by the heat. The scorched and dry earth provided no moisture for the withering and drying crops. Livestock farmers watched their animals suffer from the smothering heat. Although we long for cooler temperatures, as soon as cold weather arrives we’ll be yearning for the hot days of summer again. During the winter, one of the most breathtaking sights is a snowcovered tree. Above is a beautiful example which stands outside Patrick County High.
