Holidays create colorful scenes As Christmas quickly approaches, many shuffle to catch sights, shows. Although December contained fewer school days than any other month, it felt like the longest. Up to a certain point, at least. The 20th at 2:3d p.m. Past that point it slipped away faster than standin' room at a pep rally. From the moment the 8:30 bell rang on Monday, Dec. 2 — Colts became trapped in the Christmas Zone. FALALALA-LALALALA The anticipation was unbearable. Christmas — so close yet so far. People began to get antsy. Who could concentrate on conjugating verbs when Christmas vacation was only days away? Yet it wasn't sooo bad, thanks to the many clubs and organizations. The Student Council held a dance on Friday the 13th. This event had the effect of scaring off bad luck implied by the day and date — everyone had a great time. On the loth, the Orchestra per- formed in concert in the Colt auditorium. They performed several classical tunes as well as some pop music for the younger crowd. The Spanish Club had fun on their own as they made pinatas to celebrate Christmas and then shared them with children in local hospitals. Student Council once again sponsored a door decorating con- test and after careful consideration, the door to Mrs. Jan Henderson's class which reminded Colts of the famine in Africa, took the top spot. Mr. John Robison's class came in second. Then, the final bell rang. Merry Christmas to all and Hap- py New Year.
