New Year Brings Ice, Snow. . . Snow. .. And More Snow Early Monday morning, january 8, Sumter High students greeted four days of glorious leisure, for Sumter exper- ienced the first winter storm of the sea- son. Tests, important papers, and schoolwork were put off for two con- secutive days because of hazardous driving conditions. On Wednesday, however, the sun blinked through the snow filled clouds, and school resumed. The athletic field and courtyard served as an excellent ice-skating rink, and students, donning heavy coats and mittens, used them to full advantage. Vacations'f came as a surprise on Thursday and Friday, when the second predicted ice-storm by-passed South Carolina completely. Teachers took the Wednesday afternoon announce- ment of no school seriously and fled to their hometowns and other vacation spots. On Friday, February 9, history re- peated itself when twenty-three inches of snow buried Sumter. 36 Opening
