Opportunitq for Fun Charucterizes Snow Doq Schools were closed on January 11, 1973, for the second time this school year as a result of a snow blizzard. People in this part of the country are not accustomed to the hazards of snow and ice which cause many accidents. However, many students appreciated the day off to catch up for the following week of mid-term tests along with those who just had fun. Although the day was enjoyed, students were required to make up the day at the end of the year. E, . , la M I tv, Q Upper Right: A24-82:0 Janice Rubin instructs lVlr. Hamilton in the more difficult aspects of Geometry. Center: A typical problem of snowy weather always seems to be car trouble. Lower Right: Administrators, Nlr. Maxwell and lVlr.

Test Exemption Plon Lessens Student Exom Worries As Paschal entered into its second semester, a new policy for tests went into effect. Students who did not have more than one excused absence and one tardy could be exempted from taking their nine weeks' and semester tests. Considera- tion was also given to passing grades and citizenship. These students could go to the library, or to the cafeteria, where many went to talk to their friends. The school attendance seemed to have improved and many students and teachers ex- pressed a desire to continue this plan for the upcoming years. Upper: Jim Goldthwaite and many others went to the library to read or to study. Center: Other students took advantage of the cafeteria to snack or to talk to their friends. Lower: However, some students still had to ta ke tests. Among these were Debbie Ritchie, Linda Elizon- do, Larry Cain, and Dub Graham as they earnestly took their sixth period bookkeeping tests.
