At eleven o’clock in the evening, snowballs wiz across campus. Students sledded down the hill behind Towers Hall, on Larned Beach and just about any other hill they could find.

The huge snow storm that hit FSC two weeks ago gave students two days off to goof around.

So, what exactly did the resident students do with the excessive amount of snow?

Sophie Sabbog said that she went sledding for the first time. She recounted the experience as being scary and cold.

Although Sabbog wasn’t all that enthusiastic about venturing out into the cold to sled down anymore hills, she did seem relatively pleased that she had accomplished her first sledding experience.

Kevin Kuthan also went sledding. He said, "We [he and some friends] went ghetto sledding infront of O’Connor. It was so much fun." He, along with his friends, joined in sledding down the hill with their bodies rapped in black garbage bags.

A group of nine people struck by cabin fever decided to take out their excess energy by engaging in a game of snow football.

Melissa Christianson said that playing snow football "was difinately a more constructive way to spend the snow day than studying."

The winning team consisted of Christianson, Geoffe Mosse, Erin Dooley, Tony Pignone and Jen Bonaccorso.

Pignone said snow football "entails a group of fun loving kids playing in the fluffy white snow trying to kill each other."

He also said that "it was a close game ‘til the end when I ran in the winning touch down. Geoffe and Erin scored the other touch downs."

The other team consisted of Mike Bazley, Maryann Warsame and her roomate, and Kerry Carter.

According to Pignone, Bazley scored the teams only two touch downs. Pignone gave big ups to the girls who apparently played "just as well as the guys." He specifically complemented who "effectively blocked me more than once."

Only in such a game would men and women be able to play on the same team and on the same field. Christianson said of the co-ed game, "I liked the mix we had because if we had had too many guys the girls would not have gotten the ball. That’s what happens in most football games, but the girls did get the ball."

She said the highlight of the game to her was when she "intercepted the ball and ran all the way down the field and got the touch down."

Sledding, snow football, now onto skiing. Larned already had a trip to Mt. Sunappee planned, but the snow made the trip a lot better.

Kevin Kuthan said "It was fun. I think that everyone that went enjoyed it. The conditions were wonderful."

There were 32 people in all on the trip and 30 of them were students.

He also said it was a good opportunity for people to learn how to ski or snowboard. He said, "Everyone that took a lesson had fun and it only cost them $25 to learn."

The storm left the campus cluttered and covered with more than a foot of snow. However, this only created cabin fever for the resident students who found it more than difficult to get off of campus. They would have spent more than an hour shoveling, not only to their cars, but also shoveling out their specific cars.

Students took the time to engage in alternative sports activities. Once cabin fever, the excitement of FSC having two consecutive snowdays and the largest amount of snow, that most of the resident students have ever seen accumulate, hit and the campus quickly became a land of people playing in the snow.
