Christmas decorations light up houses and neighborhoods during the holiday season. The tree and the presents surrounding it add color and decoration to Lanae 1ackson's home. 'l'l1 Joy Abounds Glancing at the clock every five minutes trying hard to get to sleep, anticipation mounted as thoughts of Christmas morning in- terrupted any hopes of getting to sleep. After a restless night of anxiously awaiting morning, it finally arrived. Piles of presents surrounded the tree, the stockings were overflowing, and the chil- dren, awaiting their parents, looked in awe at the presents waiting to be opened. When the last bell rang at 3:35 on December twenty-first, the holidays seemed a reality to most students. They rushed to malls and shopping centers to finish up last minute shopping. After Christmas Day, students found that they had extra time on their hands and were anxious to get back to school to show off their new clothes and jewelry. Christmas shopping held few surprises this year. The malls were overly crowded with last minute shoppers, children filled up the malls and local shopping centers waiting to see Santa Claus. The bells of Christmas could be heard as the Salvation Army volunteers collected money to help the needy. Other people got personally in- volved in helping the needy. Iuli Sedberry and her family bought gifts and food for a little girl with leukemia at Children's Hospital. Not everyone spent his Christ- mas vacation at home with their family. Cheryl Kelley and Kelly Wright spent their vacation in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. They went with Baring Cross Baptist Church on a skiing trip. Andrew McLemore spent his vacation in Fayetteville at a baseball camp sponsored by the University of Ar- kansas. Christmas proved to be differ- ent for each person, but it re- mained a special time for all. It was spent with those friends and family who were most cherished. Clothes were number one on Beth HarreIson's Christmas list. Beth excitedly shows off the Coca-Cola shirt she received. ei Christmas sk

Cars pro- vided transportation to school, work and most importantly for stu- dents, to parties. But cars became a big responsibility and problem sometimes. Some students had to pay for their cars themselves, that meant getting a job. There were problems known to frequently pop up for the teenage driver. These Beyond repair Kevin Hammond's CRX sits useless in the garage as the result of a car ac- cident. common problems included get- ting a teenager grounded, jailed, hurt or just frustrated. Automobile accidents ranged from Kevin Hammond's totaling his CRX to Steve Shrigley's bend- ing many fenders. Kevin's acci- dent occurred on a rain slicked road when his car hit the rear sec- tion of a truck. Luckily, neither the driver or Kevin's passenger, Mike Decker, received major in- juries. Other types of accidents in- volved students not watching the fuel gauge and running stop signs and red lights. Traffic tickets be- came another common item among students who soon realized that getting a car was not as excit- ing as they had thought it would be. COT Problems
