The greater portion of the student body could always be found ice skating, tobog- ganing, or playing hockey. The boys played a tew rough games ot hockey at Snowden's pond. But, no matter how much we en- joyed the cold, it always telt good to sit near a big roaring tire and thaw out. How to get scorched toes in one easy lesson is demon- strated by this group ot cold skaters. Vieing for places near the tire are Marlene Gourlay, Ron Stapleton, Gary Apolskis, Bod Dougherty, and Myrna Rosenberg. After a long, hard day over a cold pond these girls, Sue Radigan, Kathy Finnerty, Leola Eklund, and Jo Ellen Stanton, are all set to drink some hot chocolate and have a real party. l 1 5

4 The winter was really cold this year. The thermometer read l6 below zero, and the wind and snow seemed endless, but that didn't bother us in the least. lt merely meant another sweater, and perhaps an extra pair of socks. Many times some roads were impass- able. On a school day the buses were al- most always late. Our first hour classes would never begin on time. lt was remark- able how the teachers were always there on time. We guess they iust like teaching so much that they coulcln't stand to be a minute late. Mr. Nabhan even walked to school because he wanted to feel the cold brisk air. At tirst we thought his trusty car wouldn't start. Winter Sports Now, that's not the way to stop a toboggan, but I guess no one ever told Sandi Bodkin or Sharon Sowinski. Besides, who cares if you're having fun! Either someone has stolen his chair, or Ken Parmalee is just testing the ice for thickness. 14
