Tender moments at the Christmas Formal. Closed! School was closed for four whole days as win- ter weather played a trick on Mr. Heskett. Next came Christmas vacation, but there was still excitement and anti- cipation as visions of formals (not sugar plums) danced through girls’ heads. The Christmas Formal finally arrived and fulfilled all expectations. Soft fluffy formals floated like dancing snowflakes over the floor amidst the Key Club decorations. A warm, homey fireplace added to the Christ- mas atmosphere, and the Christmas tree in the center of the floor completed the holiday gaiety. All good things must come to an end, and the Christmas festivities termi- nated as school re-opened. Exams were soon upon us, and it was hard to believe the year was half over. What a way to end January — exams, grades, and a lot more snow. . . Seniors caught in contemplation during government exam. y .

Our school went Oriental as the Friendship Club play Lost Horizons was presented. The scene was the exotic land of Shangri-la where time slows down and life is prolonged. But time sped at a fast pace in Bedford as Thanksgiving swung into view and gave us a chance to show our gener- osity by providing food baskets for needy families. The short Thanksgiving vacation was enjoyed by all students, faculty, and administration. Everyone came back rested, refreshed, and well-fed. After vacation the cheerleaders held the traditional hoop as the mighty Bearcats broke through the ring and bounced into basketball season. As the cork was pulled from our spirit jug, spirit rushed out creating an atmos- phere of excitement. More baskets were made and points were compiled as the season soared on. Our league-leading Bearcats continued to remain on top of the totem pole of teams as the season drew to a fast-paced close. . . . 5

. . . Follow the yellow brick road. The faculty, accompanied by Friendship mem- bers, followed this road as they explored the Many Shades of Friendship.” They were in search of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow at the Friendship Club Tea. To help the faculty swing into the mood of the theme, entertainment was presented including the vocal version of Over the Rainbow.” This annual Tea is an excellent way for students to become better acquainted with the faculty. February, the month of hearts and flowers in honor of St. Valentine, was also the time for Dog Patch,” the Sophomore Class Party which preceded the Senior’s Party, Dreamland,” held at the turn of the month. Thus February, a short but active month came to an end.
