Tis the Season for Love and Folly Amidst a chorus of hallelujahs, students pour out of school for another round of mayhem and madness during the holidays. Coming a month between holidays, Halloween gets attention galore. But, after years of trick-or-treating high school students finally kicked the habit and spent the night of the living dead getting scared out of their skull watching horror movies or just cruising around town. All I did this year was go over to a friend's house and wish I could have some of her brother's candy, divulged Mary Ellen Marshall. Immediately after Thanksgiving's fabulous feast of foods, the decorations went up. The Christmas spirit began to take root as trees were decorated, presents bought, and greeting cards mailed. The Chorus presented a polished performance of Scrooge, a musical version of Dickens A Christmas Carol. Not all found it easy to get into the swing of things. I didn't have any Christmas spirit, admitted Lisa Gray. When I lived in Pittsburgh, it snowed every year. Here in Lake Charles it's warmer. New Year's Day came and went leaving a wake of bowl games and a bunch of tired students in its path. But radicals like Pam Chozen wouldn't leave it like this. I watched football for 10 minutes and it bored me to death. So, I watched an LSU basketball game instead. Love was in bloom as Cupid fired his arrows at will on St. Valentine's Day. Art Club helped spread the love message by taking orders and sending val-o-grams to awaiting lovebirds. Love turned into lunacy as Mardi Gras madness swept through the state. But, there weren't many people staying home this year. Murray Greene, Jay Arnold, Angela Richard, and Stephanie Bogle chose to steal away for a week in the mountains as did countless others. Easter came April 22, almost a month later than it did last year. But, did this stop people from celebrating the coming of the Bunny? All through the Easter holidays I was on a chocolate crave, admitted Laura Peveto. Holidays come and go quicker than fashion trends. Things are bought, said, done, and then, many times forgotten. But that holiday spirit lives on. ITS THE HOY! Cachy McCrccdy. junior, drejscs up as Hoy George during Mardi Gras. 30 — Holidays
