Arizona Chri tmas The spirit of white Christmas was cast over the Mustangs when everyone joined in with carols and friendly wishes the week before Christmas vacation. The usual brilliantly lighted tree was planted in the library, and decorations of candy canes and snow-men were seen on the bulletin boards throughout the Liberal Arts and Science Buildings. The beautiful Christmas assembly given annually by the A Cappella Choir cli- maxed school days for two weeks filled with gala events. There were many dances held over these holidays, two of which were the Reindear Romp and the Alumni Dance. Santa was reminiscently brought back to us. Vxfhile watching him spread his good cheer, We again thought of the time when sugar-plums danced in our heads. lolly St. Nick visited fifth and sixth periods, and his Merry Christmas danced through the halls.

The money earned from this was used to buy CARE packages for families in Europe. Ip Those ee The Honor School of the West kept its reputation for helping others at full speed this year. Each homeroom was asked to present a service project for the year l949-l95O. Some came shining through by adopting schools, others filled much needed Care packages, while still many more packed Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. A bundle of gratitude is due these homerooms. Auctions were perhaps the most popular Way of raising money. The Mustangs offered cakes, cookies, and candies only to buy them back at high prices. The un- selfish North Highers never seemed to mind, however, and a generous number of auctions were seen throughout the year. Good relations were promoted by Miss Rannells' civics classes with the lndian School. The government of the school was studied, and the classes learned that the students of lndian School were both brilliant and gracious. SOCIOLOGY-Left: Miss Rannells' civics classes visit the lndian School to learn how the government provides for the education at the lndian. Right: Homerooms packed Thanksgiving and Christmas boxes of food and clothing for the needy families of our community. T ui t.,. t . 5 ' A .C .ix 'R lt ., kt' gf 3 .J 'L--smnr Q.
