The Magic of X-mas Christmas seems to bring out the best in everyone. Maybe because the students and the faculty are looking forward to their much needed vacation or maybe it ' s just because there ' s something magical about the Christmas season. For the students of Elmhurst this season means the yearly Christmas assembly, tree decorating, orchestra and choir concerts, and parties. All of this adds up to a busy December for students and the staff. At the annual foreign language party skits are performed, carols are sung, and a variety of rich food is consumed. While the yearly drive to obtain toys and food for Miss Virginia gives the stu- dent body a chance to experience the magical feeling of giving to people who are less fortunate. As all of the festivities came to an end, the magical feeling of Christmas still lingered on. The decorated tree, complete with snow on its branches, stands in the courtyard waiting to be admired by all who pass by it. Student Council members added a little humor to the Christmas assembly by doing a short skit.
