Homecoming attendants, Ginger Jackson, Scott Rumel, Robin De Long, Randy Thomp- son, Diane De Haven, Richard Stagg. Julie Noland, and Brian Lundberg were .all recognized during halftime and witnessed the crowning of the home- coming royalty, Richard Golub and Raena Ingham.

W DECEMBER Christmas influences ideas for programs, projects, parties December brought joy, confusion, and disappointment to Sahuaro's students. Jumping to an excitingly disheartened basketball season, the team opened to win their first two contests, only to end December with a record of three wins and three loses. Class of '72' spread spirit through the halls, giv- ing candy canes to all who wanted one for a slight charge of twenty cents per cane. The seniors also took ad- vantage of the Christmas spirit and sold balloons at the home basketball games. The balloons gave enjoyment to those who bought them and tested the patience of those who had to sit be- hind them. Confusion broke out on the campus because of the Student Coun- cil Convention which Sahuaro hosted. High schools throughout Arizona sent student council officers to represent them. Season's greetings were spread through the audience at the Orchestra and Choirs Christmas Concert. Class parties were common scenes as the day before Christmas holidays created an- ticipation. Wandering students made the halls too noisy for regular class. STUDENT LIFE 37
