1988 Miracle Yearbook

Veeetret5 ta Skating Passes Wintertime And Ice Diamonds Cancel Class F or the first time in three years, classes were cancelled. Not be- cause of a snow storm in December or January, as one would expect--but from an ice storm in March! Only at Cedarville! But students rejoiced and gave thanks to the Lord for the miraculous mini- vacation. Pre-med studentJohn Willer said,"I smiled that day. I got to sleep in, and my anatomy exam was cancelled." Even though the roads were icy, most everyone was out and about (except Dayton Power and Light). The cafeteria remained opened,but off-campus people were forced to take to the road or settle for peanut butter and jelly. Scott Wedlake and several of his friends went to Colonial for pizza "because they have gas ovens and it was warm!" Others went to the malls. It took a lot of hammering to get into cars that day, but because spirits were high on account ofcancelled class- es, it made everythingjust that more adventuresome. Rae Ann Powell spent45 minutes trying to break into her car, but she was determined to go to Salem Mall. "You can't just sit around on a day off," she commented. A lot ofstudents took time to takesome pictures,travelling as far as the falls and John Bryan State Park. Thejaunts were definitely worth the trouble. The woods glistened in a winter wonderland that reflected images ofsilver. That day, nature's icicled palace outshined any fairy tale's picture. "It looked like a field of diamonds," commented Lori Speigel. It's interesting how winter weather helps determine moods. On days ofclasses,students like Casey Wil- liams and Doug Pierson merely "grin and bear it." But,have an ice storm hit, have classes cancelled, and see the smiles become genu- ine! 134 Winter Snapshots
