Because of the road conditions created by the snow and ice, schools were closed for a total of seven days. Since the School Board had only three days set aside as snow days the other four days were made up on Saturdays. Semester tests were al- so postponed and Were not taken until Janu- ary 26 and 27. But most students made the most of their midwinter vacation as they took to the slopes while their cars took to the ditches. For most, the snow pro- vided a Winter wonder- land, turning streets and hills into sled and inner tube runs. The usually little seen sleds were a common sight on many snow covered streets. While others play- ed some students found the snow quite profit- able.

Lights on wasa common scene during the clouded days of the snow and so was sledding behind cars demonstrated by Rocky Moser and Jim Accord, seniors. pulling cars out of the snow. One student earned as much as S65 in one afternoon doing this. Stores, too, profit- ed from the white stuff as they were quickly sold out of tire chains, sleds, and snow shovels.

These are just a few of the things students do While on hiatus. This school year students had many op- portunities to get plen- ty of sleep, etc. There were two scheduled va- cations in 1977. Thanks- giving break began on Nov. 21 and ended on Nov. 25. Christmas vacation began at the end of the school day on Dec. 21 and ended on Jan. 3, with an extra day vot- ed on by the School Board. Probably the most exciting event during the Thanksgiving break was the Young Life ski trip. Young Lifers spent a week in snow drifts While friends still south complained about the lack of snow. After Thanksgiving had gone Christmas came upon us. Of course, the last day of school, teachers tested their students. Various things are remembered about Christmas vacations, and among them was the lack of a white Christmas. But there are others: Too many rela- tives came to see us, remarked Janet Flan- ders, sophomore while Gina Pike, senior, re- membered, It was pretty Warm on Christ- mas day. For those who did not like this holiday season Without a blan- ket of snow, better luck next year. -fr! 4 ini! Joining in with the Christ- mas spirit, Mr. Stan Cate makes a ceramic Christmas tree for the band room. 79
