The sky had dumped about four inches of snow on Middletown, and I knew the time had come. I had already appropriated a small plastic tray for the occasion, so I wrapped myself in warm garments, covered every ap- pendage, and set out for the hill with my col- league. I tilted my head back and puffed into the air to warm up the stars. Scores of people were already flying down Foss Hill on trays, sleds, inner tubes, skis, and bicycles. It seemed as if the entire school had come out to enjoy the curious warmth and light that always follow the first nighttime snowfall. I marched to the top of the hill and found the steepest drop. I placed my tray Firmly in the snow and sat down, grasping the tray between my legs. I pushed off. The tray immediately turned around and I soared down the hill backwards. I could not control it. The tray struck the first bump, stayed there, and I kept sliding until my head dug into the snow and stopped my forward motion. The tray stuck out of the snow. My glove was gone. I trudged up the hill, grabbed the tray, and i started over. Again the tray turned around, but instead headed in a diagonal direction into the path of two people on an inner tube. I fell off and managed to stop. The tray slid down the hi . I walked down, got the tray, walked back up, where my colleague was waiting with a special tray that heId found. It was one of those big metal ones they use in the kitchen. He sug- gested we both ride it, and he pointed to a large lump of snow down the hill that people were using as a jump. We sat back to back so that we couldn't go down backwards. We pushed off, and the tray headed sideways, gaining speed, until it struck the bump slightly off center, sending me straight into the air and my colleague sprawl- ing onto the bump and almost breaking his arm. I landed in a sitting position farther down I the hill. My colleague and I limped back to the dor- mitory, dropping our broken bodies into bed. - bv James Shiffer
