est ports of Ch ristmos enjoyed by -.1..-2-1- E.- --- ...-. .. .....E-..- . ..... .- was the day before Christmas when all through the school, students were stiring making holiday plans. Shopping was to be done, cards were bought and meals were still to be cooked. Parties were being thrown, lights were shining bright and elves were preparing for Santa's big night. Boys and girls, moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas felt they couldn't wait for that special day. I 'thought the best part of Christmas was singing carols around the tree with everyone together, said Susan Millirons, junior. Many students had different ways of celebrating their Christmas, wh- ether it was a jewish Hanukkah, a far away trip, or just hoping for an old fashion white Christmas. We always opened one present on Christmas Eve, then Santa came overnight and we were surprised the next morning with all the presents, said Janet McDowell, senior. With everyone so busy, the focal point of the holidays was the tree. Like a queen, the tree graced wind- ows, pouring it's rainbow of lights upon the outside. Once the tree was down, Christmas was over. WHAT A SURPRISE! Karen Williamson, junior, wraps a Christmas present to surprise her parents. HOLIDAY DREAM.

Short but chool ended and so began the long, hot summer. Spent doing a countless number of odditi- es. summer gave everyone the chance to gain a perfect bronze glow, work for a few extra dollars, or go on that forever-dreamed-of vacation. No matter how we spent our three months of freedom, what began as a long. hot summer ended much too soon and was labeled as short but sweet. Many Patriots spent some portion of their vacation in governors school, summer school, or boys or girls state. Those who showed special talents were invited to attend governors school for a period of 5 weeks. Learning in the summer was an advantage for some, a pain for others. Spending time by the pool appealed to most, especially if the tan was accompanied by a paycheck. Life- guarding did seem to have it's advantages as many students found. Some didn't have it so easy and spent their days slinging burgers or pizza, or doing a wide variety of things for a little bit of extra spending money. Working in the summer always messed up my weekends, said Denice Tucker. senior. Those who didn't spend their summer at work or at school, used the days to recover from nine months of imprisonment, to watch their favorite soap opera and catch up on lost sleep. Dallas fans awaited the first show of the season for the answer to the question, Who shot J.R.? but were disappointed when an actor's strike halted production ofthe show. We were relieved of the sometimes dismal days with special events like The Wild Hog Boogie, held at War Memorial Stadium on .Iuly12 and the Fourth ofjuly fireworks display, also held at War Memorial. The Wild Hog Boogie wasn't as good as I expected it to be. It could have been better, commented C.J. Deas, senior. While some of us spent most of our time searching for something to do, there were a lucky few who vacationed in the Bahamas, Alaska or attended summer camp. Anne Brid- ges, senior went to the Bahamas for a week, just before school started. The best thing about the trip was learning how to scuba dive and diving in the ocean, said Anne. tcont.on page 213 sweet WHEW!
