School and Partnership Go hand in hand Partnership, said Mr. Tippett, was my theme tor the year. It uias a natural follow up to com- mitment, the theme of last year. UUhen students, faculty, and par- ents become partners, everyone benefits, said Mr. Tippett. Partnership is the key be- cause it relates to all things in school. UUith our partnership stu- dents accomplished their goals and River Forest kept its commit- ment to the students, the par- ents, and the community. Resides having the partner- ship within the school system, R.F. has extended its partnership to other schools. River Forest joined with Lake Station, Por- tage, and Hobart schools in the Four Star Partners Inc. program. Our Four Star Partnership is part of a mini system within the state that is attempting to capture business opportunities for our students. The purpose of this form of partnership is to enable the student to get an idea of how businesses work and to aid busi- nesses by offering student assis- tance.

7 The UJossail, a Christmas tradition for almost two decades, is a joyous celebration of Christ ' s birth. In medieval costume and with a festive atmo- sphere, the high school choir sets the stage for a winter evening of song and dance. The Junior High Multi-Purpose room, where the UUassail is held, is decorated with mock heraldry banners from (England and France. Among the other decorations are Italian flags from Siena, holly, mis- tletoe and over one-hundred candles which burn in unison to symbolize the light of the world. Under the direction of Mr. Brown the choir performed such songs as Sing Alleluia, Sing, This Little Babe, and A Thousand Candles. Gach song tells a story of the Christmas spirit and what it truly means. For entertainment, the guests enjoyed a juggling act. Italian banner waving, a Country dance, a Peasant Folk dance, and a puppet show presented by the Gighth Grade STP classes and sponsored by Miss Kubiak. To top off the night, the guests were served an appetizing dinner. The menu included Shrimp Cocktail, Veal Cordon Bleau, Stuffed Mushroom with Crab, various hor-d ' oeuvres, Gnglish Plum pudding. Chocolate Mousse, and the traditional Vule Log cake and UUassail punch. To end the night the guests recited in unison a reading which sums up the purpose of the UJassail, spreading Christmas cheer . . . May the spirit of the Christmas story enter all of our hearts and help us to carry love and goodwill wherever we go — until Christmas com es again! LURSSfilL 1 3
