! 1 i Students pack library for entertainment | December at H.P. proved to be a “month of forgotten schoolwork as students turned away from it all and looked forward to the all-important holidays. The basketball team traveled to Austin where they placed fourth in the prestigious Austin Tournament, win- ning their first two games. The awaited day finally arrived; on December 19, students packed the library to see Harry (Mr. Wilkes), Larry (Dr. Puckett), Jerry (Mr. Smith), Mary (Mrs. Dillard), and Phyllis (Mrs. Glover). The ubiquitous Mr. | Smith rocked the crowd with his jokes | (which remained the same all six | periods), Dr. Puckett impressed all with his guitar talent, and Mrs. Hoebecke | refrained from calling a Pepsi-Break. Afterwards, students headed home for | holidays of skiing, tanning, and stanning . HALE + Above: A tedious test: Poor Frosh agonize over their special exams.
