I noticed on FB that HAC cancelled classes today due to the weather.  Well, in my day the teachers would have found a way to make it to the campus.  Those stinkin' liberals!!
 
Do you remember the ONE day that it was many degrees zero, no bus routes ran, the girls were warned to bundle up with no skin showing, and we were all hauled to the church for the whole day for church. I cant remember if we had gag bag lunches, or they fed us at the church...dont remember. The buses did not warm up the whole drive to church.

It had to of been in the winter of 82 or 83
 
My mom says that, HB was never cancelled because of the weather.  When we were there. 
 
There was one Sunday in the winter of '79 that they actually had our Sunday service in the college chapel.

WHEW!! Older than me. :)

I'm 36, we were up there from 84' - around 89'.

My parents went to HAC some on here may recognize them if I posted pictures........that will never happen. 

My mom is truly a beautiful Southern Bell and my dad looks like he just crossed the boarder.    :D  And they are accusing me of being a racist upstairs.  Pwwaaahaaa :)

Sounds like Jan. 10, 1982.
A first batch of bus workers headed to the bus barn, but then the decision was made not to run the buses, mainly because they would not start. We were routed to the church. Others that got left behind had services at BC or the chapel. Bro. Hyles bought those stuck at the church pizza that afternoon. AM message - "I shall Go to Him." Evening - "Roll, Jordan, Roll." The "A" bus ministry did run because somebody was spiritual enough to stay up and keep them on. That's what Bro. Hyles - jokingly I think - told Bro. Ray in public.

You might be a Hacker if you remember all that information.  I am impressed!
 
When I was in high school at Maranatha Baptist Academy, two of my brothers and I would travel about 15 miles each day to attend school.  One brother was in college and the other also in the academy.  We had just moved there the week before.  It was January of 1978.  Yes, the year of that other great blizzard. 

As you walked into the main building there into the main lobby, you passed right by Dr. Cedarholm's door - which was open more often than it was closed.  As we entered and passed his office, we heard him talking on the phone, then he called out our names.  "Aye- yi- yi," we thought. 

Come to find out, he was on the phone talking to one professor who couldn't make it in and had just finished talking to another who couldn't.  Yet we had just passed both of their houses on our way. 

We were driving a 1974 Buick Skylark. 

Of course, we did get stranded on campus that night and had to spend the night in the dorms.  I walked in drifts up to my waist on the way to the ladies' dormitory.
