Snow blows in year, first semester tests Beginning a new decade, Tascosa students re- turn to school in cold January 1970. Upcoming semes- ter tests send Rebels to their books. Fifty-seven mid- term graduates go out into the world, leaving behind the rest of the jealous seniors. Anxious skiiers eagerly await the last bell on Friday so they can hit the snowy slopes. Showboat begins its rehear- January sals full-time while actors desperately try to learn their lines. New Year's resolutions go as quickly as they come. Enthusiasm for school dwindles as sophomores and juniors contract an undergraduate form of senior slump? New clothes are parading in the halls showing that Santa supplemented many ward- robes at Christmas. New Christmas cars are smashed as ice-covered streets become perilous during the first heavy snow. Three days of plucking strings helps or- chestra students improve their playing in the orchestra clinic. What happened to the semester break this year? DOW KEE, RANDY Burgess, and three othercareless students look through the Lost and Found. Locker checks are held periodically throughout the year and turn up the lost books that were somehow lost at school. CAROL DICKERSON, EMILY Kiker, and Lee Jacobsen take advantage of the snow and make ice cream. The snow came during the Christmas vacation and lasted for several weeks. M, 2 24 STUDENT LIFE
