WHERE ARE YOU GOING? In Minnesota, school vacation is very sacred. The winters are so cold that when vacation time comes around people are anxious for a change of season. Students dig into their summer earnings as they go to travel agents to make reservations for Christmas vacation and spring break. Christmas vacation is two weeks long and comes pretty close to where the winter blues have set in Although most go somewhere warm, there are a few who take to the slopes. Spring break is right before graduation and another year is almost to a close. During this week the students. because of all the frost bite from the past winter. are ready to thaw out in Mexico or Florida where they also get a start on their tan.

“Sniffle ... wheeze ... cough ... AAAccKK!!! ... I can’t take it anymore! I can’t breathe! I can’t eat, I can't taste anything and I’d probably suffocate anyway!” Many Millers suffered from a viral infection in September and October. The Bureau of Communicable Diseases had no name for it and so it became known as The Crud. Students and teachers alike were sniffling, sneezing, coughing and generally feeling “yucky,” as Gretchen Peik, school nurse, put it. Most people were out of school for two to three days and when they returned they came armed with boxes of Kleenex and cough drops. The healthy ones complained of not being able to concentrate, due to the noise made by the sick Millers. Hayfever this year was almost as bad as “The Crud. Dust ran high as we had an unusually dry fall. The pollen counts reached 60% or over almost everyday during September. Those students not stricken with “The Crud” were suffering with hayfever. Pumped up with antihistamines and decongestants, students attended classes glassy-eyed and sleepy. Sick students were bogged with homework, because, regardless of how sick the teachers were, they always managed to give assignments! As soon as the end of October cold hit, the “yuckiness” began to disappear and slowly but surely, relief was here. Heidi Farmer succumbs to the Crud.

WAKE UP ... WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!!! As the teacher lectures on about the National Debt, you slowly put your head down and begin to stare off into space. Your mind wanders to other places where you would rather be, because anything has got to be better than listening to another lecture on the economy. But where exactly does the mind wander to? Why, that depends on the student of course. Obviously, we can't print what the average male senior daydreams about, but what about the rest of the school? Do you dream about lunch? A pepfest? The test you have to take next hour? NO, NO, NO! We’ve put our heads together and have come up with a good idea of what the majority of the school dreams about. Upper tell. The average dream ol any senior is graduation. Steve Gagala looks to the end of his high school years out on the field.
