Santa Visits December Pep Rally Several days before the long Christmas Eve haul, jolly St. Nick found time in his busy schedule to pay a visit to Huguenot. On the morning of December 16, the merry little man, in the person of ‘‘Squeely’’ McNeely, de- lighted students at the Christmas pep rally. In the Christ- ‘mas assembly, scenes from the previous year’s operet- ta, HERE’S LOVE, added to the season’s spirit. After the holidays, Huguenot faced an exciting basket- ball game with arch rival, Manchester. Because tre- mendous crowds wanted to view the contest, closed cir- cuit television was set up in the cafeteria. This was the first such venture in the Central District, and the idea was repeated in subsequent games. Mark Kate Hoyer (LEFT) is amused as Kris Kringle (Roger Griffin) sings ‘‘Here’s Love’’ in the SCA Christmas assembly of December 21. Dean C. J. Gray (LOWER LEFT) of the University of Richmond con- gratulates Britt Mayo, winner of the WRNL $3000 Radio Scholarship Quiz. A WRVA cameraman (BELOW) provides students with closed cir- cuit TV viewing of the Huguenot-Manchester game. 15

Dance of February 18 After the horror of exams was over, school life bright- ened greatly. On the night of February 18, the gym was transformed into a highway as the Senior Y-Teens and the Hi-Y presented ‘‘Dancing in the Streets’? with music by The Jokers Wild. Immediately after the snow days, SCA campaigns be- gan with usual vigor and excitement. On Friday, Febru- ary 23, Huguenot hosted thirteen World Youth Forum foreign students who shared information about their countries with various classes during the day. While dancing near a P. D. Brooks construction sign, students (ABOVE) rhythmically enjoy the Hi-Y—Senior Y-Teens Dance. As the Jokers Wild (LEFT) give a musical touch to the gala evening, a Volkswagen (BELOW) adds an unexpected note of atrnosphere.
