Everyone seems to be enjoying the better weather. Don’t get out the summer clothing yet, winter is not over yet.
How are ya’ll out there in newspaper land? I’m recuperating slowly. I didn’t have a cold until about four weeks, then one got me. It is not a good thing to have with asthma, that’s for sure. Friends have been calling every day to see about me. No, there wasn’t news last week, I didn’t feel like typing. I did very little cooking. The instant food supply is depleted.
I did hear good news last week on the radio. An artificial retina has been successfully developed. Now people who have been blind for several years will be able to see again. When the retina is approved to be sold in the United States the cost will be about $100,000.
This week at NCHS has been full of excitement and fun for the students.

This week students have enjoyed the change in temperature which has caused quite a stir in those who have eagerly been waiting for spring. However, the weather seems to be changing back to cold after this quick warm spell. Hopefully we will be seeing more of this warmth before too long, but as for now, it's time to break out the winter clothes again and wait just a bit longer for Spring. Students have just a taste of those warm and beautiful temperatures to help them through the end of winter.
