Christmas time. A season of joy, happi- ness and sub-zero temperatures. Sub-zero temperatures? After the overly warm winter of 1982- 83, there was no way Northern Ohio resi- dents could expect another one. But the December and January months followed were two of the coldest months of all- time. The usual Christmas cheer began to spread in Richmond Heights High School spirit in the beginning of December. Stu- dent ' s spirits were not changed by the cold weather, but the absence of hall decorations put a dimmer on the fun. To celebrate the Christmas break the Senior Class held a Roman Christmas par- ty at the Kiwainis Lodge. There was mu- sic, food and games, including a donut eating contest. Dave Bill and Ann Rieger won the contest with little trouble. Togas were worn by all, and many peo- ple discovered that they weren ' t the warmest of clothes! Inside the lodge wasn ' t too bad, but I almost got frostbite running from the car to the lodge said Fred Buck. The night was a success, despite the Arctic temperatures. My Hair Froze at The Bus Stop Every Morning — Marc Bremec When it was all over December of 1983 was determined to be the coldest December of all time by the National Weather Service. Christmas saw the usual problems of dead auto batteries, fuel line freeze-ups and stalled cars. January came with some hope of warmer weather, but it was not meant to be. Cold classrooms and even colder lock- er rooms and gyms caused many complaints. Richmond Heights High School was not the only cold place. Record lows were set in every major Ohio city, including Cleveland and in at least 47 other cities around the nation. January 20, was the coldest day of them all. The all time low reached -20. But the fickle Ohio weather always makes up for its wrongdoings. February 12 saw sunny skies and 65 degree tem- peratures. That ' s alright. It might snow next weekend. — M.H. Wintertime Blues.

TR fiSPORT TIOM M€4M9 Of TR 1M€L 26 Transportation Varsity Walker — Every mommg Kevin Smyth walked from -the RTA bus stop ta the school. This IS how Kevin got his title Varsity -W lkgr Transportation — a means of travel from one place to another. Many students abided by the word transportation this year as they found dif- ferent ways to travel from one place to another. Some students got up at an earlier hour so they could catch the school bus. I didn ' t mind getting up 45 minutes early to catch the bus, because I know that if I didn ' t, I would have a fairly long walk to school, stated Paul Lipoid. Other students walked to school. Greg Crudele, a sophomore has been walking since his freshman year. He stated, To me it is worth it to sleep an extra-half hour, it also gets me in shape for the various sports I participate in. Road Work — Streets often need to be repaired after the winter thaw. Jeff Zitel ran into one of the poorer spots in the road and damaged his car severly. The majority of the students traveled to school in cars, driving or as passengers. A select few drove their way to work. I thought getting a ride to school was the I best way to get to school. If I would drive I would worry about the car and I don ' t 1 like riding the bus. I guess I am just too i lazy to get up that early, stated Fred Buck. So if you need to get from one place to another, it is necessary to find some j form of transportation. Spartans have j discovered that there are various means and ways of getting from here to there. — L.S.
