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

5CIP ACTIVITIES ENCOUR ACE LENTEN SACRIFICES Blistering February' winds brought repercussions of last year's winter hazards. Although the thermometer hovered in the vicinity of zero degrees, there were special events which brought a warming trend to winter weary students. The basketballers soundly defeated the pesty St. Edward Eagles before an enthusiastic crowd at Cleveland State University. February 10 was especially savoured since the freshmen and junior varsity victories made the evening a triple-victory. Several senior SCIP volunteers staged a heartwarming Valentine party for retarded children at the St. loseph Center on West 14th Street. Activities included athletic contests followed by a party featuring valentines and pop. It was a rewarding afternoon for both the volunteers and the children. Although the second annual Valentine Dance was cancelled due to a lac k of student interest, a successful mixer was held in its place which provided students with the opportunity of dancing away their blues. Higher temperatures and sectional tournaments in wrestling, basketball, and hockey concluded the short month on a pleasing note.
