Xmas Cheer Who was the better of the two-or the lesser of the two? This was the decision voting Americans had to make concerning President jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagen on Nov. 4, election day. The winner was, of course, Ron- ald Reagen. Halloween, the victorious dueling pistol game, and the weeks of November trudged onward as we found ourselves anxiously awaiting Thanksgiving vacation. Many LHS stu- dents, along with some 200,000 other Kansas Citians, journeyed down to the Plaza to watch the annual lighting on Thanksgiving night. This year the lights were turned on by Royalty, that is George Brett of the K.C. Royals. Not many people were able to see, however, as the crowd was very thick.

The halls weren't decked with boughs of holly, but the Yuletide season came just the same. One promotion of the Christmas spirit was the annual Christmas dance. Several stu- dents attended the holiday festivity and danced to a live band. Other seasonal activities were Concert Choir's caroling during lunch on the last day before vacation. Later that day teach- ers presented the student body with a Christ- mas tea. Students mingled with teachers before they left for two weeks of R and R. X
