Swirling snow doesn’t damper Central’s blue and white Christmas A Blazer Christmas at Elkhart Central meant gaily decorated blue and white classrooms, angels on the office windows and all around good cheer. Ms. Sharon Papa’s | 106 classroom was judged best decorated with its Mr. B Santa Clauses and its gener- ous use of fir branches. Even the driving snow didn’t cancel the Underpriv- iledged Kids Christmas Par- ty which was sponsored by the Student Council. An ex- cerpt from ‘‘Winnie the Pooh” was shown and after- wards the kids had the privi- ledge of meeting Pooh, Eyore and Owl. Ms. Ann McDougall’s drama class also performed “Winnie the Pooh” before some 600 elementary stu- dents. Deep snow and sparkly flakes enhanced the Winter Wonderland Dance at the Hotel Elkhart on December 26. Couples in semi-formal dress danced through brightly colored Christmas scenes. Because of the snow, school was closed at 2:30 the Wednesday before va- cation. Over 10.7 inches of new snow fell. Several surrounding area schools were closed down for the holiday—although Central resumed on Fri- day. Most of the teachers and students showed up—the rest decided it wasn’t worth it.
