As our graduating class prepares to hold our ten year reunion, I am reminded of the good ole high school dys I had, or I might say didn't have.'

The winter of 1977 was the worst and 1978 wasn't much better.

In 1977,1 was a sophomore at the time, we kiddies went home for Christmas break and did not go back until late in February because of the snow. The day we went back was short lived as well because it started snowing as soon as we

stepped in the door. At one time, there was as much

as 2 feet of snow on the ground, of course that was from two or three different snows that had not melted.

It was a great time for most kids. A time when you couldn't do much but lay around and be sorry/"It was a time when the Signal printed 10 pages, 12, if we were lucky, and even 8 on occasion. It was also the winter that my father fell on the ice and broke his arm and had to sleep

It was also a year when snow stayed on the ground from January-1 until March 1 because of the low temperatures and it was the year that we school children did not get out of, school untH after June 1, even though we had to go an extra hour each day la make up for the time lost. V "

And it was also the year that teachers found a loophole in'the state unemployment insurance fund and got an unemployment check for the time we were out of school, even though they never missed a pay check from the local board. That loophole has since been closed.

So when you think to youself that you would like to have some more winter weather, just think back a few years when commuting to Lexington was a chore, when you were cooped up in your house with your kids day and night and when it was a highlight for the temperature to get above freezing.

Questions have been raised in this column and by residents of the area about the new building being constructed on West Main St. in Mt. Vemon by Ted ana Verla Scoit.

The resident who made the inquiries was genuinely concerned about the increased traffic on West Main Street as a result of the welfare office being located there.

Is it possible Mrs. Scott and ihc West Main resident are talking to two different state departments?
