Santa Claus came a little early bringing two more days of vacation to all. Students were happy, but two annual Christmas events had to be left off the calendar because of the early break. The Snowball Dance was sched¬ uled, but had to be cancelled because the school had been closed. Homeroom presidents did not have time to decorate the doors before December 19 so this was cancelled also. Although those special features were dropped, a Christmas assembly was squeezed in with Santa making a grand appearance and bringing a few gifts. To the secretaries, he brought gift certificate s; and to the principal and vice-principals, he presented savings bonds. As an extra bonus for being good administrators, he gave Dr. Venable an “I Can’t Believe It’s a Girdle” girdle; to Mr. Clark, a pair of platform shoes; to Mr. Furches, a pair of red socks “to match his red neck”; to Mr. Vanney, 365 Hardee hamburgers “for all of the hungry athletes” and to Mr. Wilson, a toy bus “to play with on the weekends.” Yule devotions.
