Mrs. Alice G. Coulter, stated that she was taken by complete surprise at the students' boundless thirst. Mrs. Colder estimated that from 60 to 70 gallons of coke, orange juice, lemonade, and assorted drinks were consumed. Supply was. not the least of Mrs. Coulter's problems , for during the heat spell the freezer's motors stopped ; luckily they were repaired before any damage occurred. Although the Snack Bar's business increased, the cafeteria did not receive it's usual volume of sales. Hot food in hot weather seems to be unattractive to the student and he or she is primarily interested in cooling off, said Mrs. Coulter.
Working throughout the hot days, the staff "displayed good spirit" Mrs. Coulter stated. When asked about casualties, she commented that the flu seemed to follow right in the footsteps of the heat wave, and caught three staff workers with their resistence down, forcing them to spend a Monday in bed. Thursday the staff worked for 15 straight hours in the 100plus weather. At the end of the evening they served a dinner to the Industrial Arts Foundation in the Student Union. Mrs. Coulter cited lemonade as the first item to disappear, and this commodity absent throughout most of the hot weather.
Last week the students of Palomar endured the hottest school days in the College's history. With temperatures constantly in the high 90's students were trying to escape the heat in every conceivable way. Some felt that the best way to escape the heat was to stay indoors. The library provided not only refuge from the sun, but also an academic atmosphere. Others thought the answer lay in the shade, which was exactly what they did. Still, others felt that the fastest way to cool off their bodies was to work from the inside, and they consumed as much cold liquid as they could. Instructors were also concerned with escaping the vicious rays of the sun. Their method, however, was pretty uniform (Cont inued on page 4)
