Students in Miss Dorian Grimes' art class painted the front windows of the school in a Ziggy Christmas design. The mural provided a colorful background for the live Christmas tree erected in the main hall by Future Homemakers of America members. They added spirit and made going to school during the holiday season more bearablef' said senior Gwenyth Mapes of the decorations and artwork. Student Council and the National Honor Society joined forces in a Christ- mas Ioy Project. The activity involved students going to the local R 8: N Nuri Home where they sang carols, took 3 and visited its elderly residents. It was a sad, but rewarding exp- ence, said Susie Romo, Student Cou: president. I was glad we were able make their Christmas a little happier.
