Winter wonderland March is a month when flowers bloom, birds return and most of all spring official- ly arrives, but on March 2, 1984, the cam- pus of Walker High School was stunned by an unexpected snow fall. The day was filled with excitement, awe and disbelief. Most of the students wanted more to be out in the snow rather than sitting inside looking at it, but due to the warmth of the ground, unfortunately the white fluff did not accumulate to the point of cancelling school. Before the first bell rang some of the students took advantage of the extra time and involved themselves in snowball fights. The excitement of the snow helped carry students and faculty through the day. Their minds weren ' t exactly on the work planned out for the day, but more on the snow outside. Above: According to Webster ' s dictionary, snow is defined as crystals of ice formed from water vapor in the air, but to Dion and Fanchon Philpot snow is defined as cold! Left: Many of Walker ' s students say that snow means fun and getting out of school. Although David Childress may not be leaving school, he is get- ting a cold shoulder from Sabrina Adkins.

Time flies when you ' re having fun!! Here ' s to thee, our dear old high school Alma Mater To our school we pledge our power. For we trust in thee; And we will at every hour. Always loyal be. You have been to us a mother, In the days gone by; And we ' ll never love another Dear old Walker High CHORUS: Always faithful, always loyal To our colors true; Here ' s to thee, our dear old high school. Walker, here ' s to you! On the average, a student spends approximately 1105 hours in school each year. Although it may not be ob- vious until the last few months, school has become a security blanket. To many students, the Alma Mater is nothing more than an ending to each pep rally. To those who stop and really listen to the words, it has a special meaning. The Alma Mater actually sums up what being a teenager in high school is all about. The faces of our teachers and friends have become more familiar to us than our own. In honor and pride, we salute our teachers, parents and our school. Walker, here ' s to you!
