The Jjoys students realized «it the termination of the first semester were short-lived as the final semester was ushered in. A two day semester break provided students with a needed rest after they crammed four months of knowledge into one week of hard study for semester exams. Seniors initiated their new year's resolutions of a senior slump and eagerly hoped that it would be all it was made up to be. Upon the return of classes, a small minority of students were not to be seen. It was soon learned that they had left our ranks and continued their scholarly activities at another institution. The first real snow storm took place during January and gave thrillseeking students the opportunity to engage in hand to hand play combat with a thick blanket of snow providing a satisfactory cushion. Seniors Paul Kobe and Mark Stevenson displayed daring courage when they braved chilling gusts of wind and sub-zero temperatures in order to stage a picnic in front of the Science Building to the astonishment of all passersby. These and other feats of valor provided students with a breath of fresh air after the strenuous semester exams. Students looked forward to June and its warmth. 20 snow
