The record cold temperatures for Nebraska this date were in 1974.
I was a senior at St. Agnes Academy.
The picture in my mind is 1st period, Sister Emilia, French Lab. I am the only girl and only senior with 4 freshmen boys; Paul McCune, Larry Powell, Dan Murphy. I am late for school every day. I drive a 1968 Rambler, it gets stuck in the snow. Paul is Sister’s pet. He makes her laugh and she never turns me in for being late.
