Mrs. Caffey, teacher: “Schools should not offer digital learning on snow days, as most students won’t complete the work. Also, snow days are usually a break that students and teachers need, so they should be enjoyed. I will say, however, four snow days were too much for me. I was ready to get back to work!”

In “Get Your Paws Up” by Carroll & Christopher Wilson, [Copyright Christopher Wilson, 2025, pg 20-21] The 1959 season was a grand and glorious one. Not too much was expected of this Cub edition, as defending district champion Bowie was ranked No. 2 in the state. But after two fairly close early games, the Cubs exploded on a favored Burkburnett team, 60-0, and never looked back. Now came the dream game matchup -- final game of the season, No. 2 Bowie hosts No. 10 Olney on Friday the 13th of November. On this memorable, bitterly cold night, the Cubs froze the Jackrabbits, 15-6, in one of the classic games in Olney football history.
