SNOW, BITTER COLD s.4srss' sttoents With many students having succumbed to the state of laziness which seizes most during the lengthy Christmas vacation, both the weather and the gas companies provided the extra minivacations needed to help students survive the first strenuous weeks of January. After struggling through the first full week of school after Christmas vacation, students were unable to contain their glee when a massive snow storm swept across the city and dumped twelve inches of snow Sunday night, January 9. Although reluctant, students nevertheless accepted the fact that classes on Monday and Tuesday had to be cancelled while students dug themselves out. Then, at the beginning of the week of January 17, the thermometer dived downward into the subzero range. This time the gas companies turned out to be the heroes when they requested that school close from Tuesday through Friday. This break gave all Ignatians the opportunity to recuperate fully from Christmas laziness and another week to get psyched for semester exams. (Editor's note: This was written at the end of January, and a lack of gas threatened to close school during February.) Featuring CHILI FROSTY CHILE ABOVE.

Realizing that they have won the annual tug-of-war. the underdog East Side'can't hold back their elation. James Philip Culick Hackman John Patrick Hambor Hanrahan F-I-A-S-C-O: an utter and often ridiculous failure, especially of an ambitious or pretentious undertaking. Planners of this year's Lumberjack Day referred to it as a change of pace. Lumberjack Day participants called it “an hour off from class, a mess . . . Really, the hour of rope-tugging, balloon-catching (and throwing) and general rowdiness was quite different from those of years past. The school day was modeled around the festivities, not vice-versa. The hour began with a “super-short” rally in front of the Carroll Gym. The “action took place in the center of the schoolyard with the East Side sweeping the three tugs. The fun started with the dispensation of balloons to eager Seniors. A balloon toss was scheduled to take place, but it was delayed by total chaos and balloon bursting. A winning team was eventually declared as the throngs returned to the peaceful classtime routine.
