Since 1929 schools throughout the country have set aside one week out of the year to promote education. Each year a new theme is stressed. This year's theme was Educational Excellence: Our Nation's Strongest Defense. Much effort was put forth by Mrs. Eloise Alexander and Mrs. Virginia Wallace to emphasize education. Many students interested in the growing need for education participated in AEW. Vicki Taylor said, I think it's super we are setting aside a week for education. Students realized that education is the only hope for tomorrow. Therefore, the theme for this year is distinct and appropriate. Gina Goings Burning for education? Nichee Goodwin and PJ.

The season was mighty jolly here at Mauldin High School. Students celebrated by contributing money and food and by having parties. David Berggren, a Swedish exchange student explained his holidays, We don't celebrate the Thanksgiving holidays, but Christmas is a big holiday. We celebrate on December 24 and get two weeks vacation. Instead of Santa Claus we have a Jultomte. He gives all of us gifts and toys. The most similar thing we do is eat lots of food. Religion also affected our holidays. Alphonso Robinson, a Muslim, told about his holidays. As a Muslim, I don't believe that Jesus was born December 25. Christmas is the same as any other day. I work, eat, sleep and have fun. I feel it is more so a reaction than observation. The annual Christmas assemblies took place again this year. The students went to four presentations during assembly time. In the first, teachers sang Christmas carols and the students occasionally joined in. Next, the students went to the lunchroom to hear the band play more carols. Following the cafeteria assembly was the chorus in the auditorium. They added joviality to the Christmas season. Finally, Coach Mike Frye and the wrestling team gave an exhibition on the basics of wrestling. The climax of the celebrating was the dismissal of school for 12 days of vacation.
