(( It wasn't the severity of the illness that startled health and school officials, it was the speed with which it infected about 120 people.
The Norwalk-like virus first showed up in one student on the first of April, and then this week a flood of students and faculty members sought medical assistance, usually just receiving fluids.
Health officials say the symptoms varied greatly, but the worst cases experienced vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea.
