Well, the weather seemed to be
one of the biggest surprises of
the week, certainly no one eX-
pected the downfall of snow that
came over Caldwell on the past
weekend.
1t seemed to put sort of a
damper Oh the spring spirits that
were beginning to show up
through the winter blues. With
Easter so near all this snow just
didn't seem right, with ever so
many students thinking of
Spring Concert and Easter out
fits and that good old lazy feel
ing of spring fever creeping
around the corner.
AS the sold broom sage" says,
Everybody talks about the Wea-
ther but nobody does anything
about it" so why am l complain
ing?
Perhaps some people were
thinking that because of the
snow there wouldn't be any
school, but a new ruling has
been passed on this matter. If it
is impossible for the buses to
get through, classes will still be
held for the town students and
the bus riders will then have to
make up the work they miss.
This will also eliminate having to
make up the work they miss.
This will eliminate having to
make up any. extra days at the
end of the year.
