Holidays Highlight Winter Months The week before the Christmas vacation was an exciting and busy one. Everyone was anxious to begin his holiday activities. After practicing for six weeks, forty-six anxious girls tried out for drillteam. On the Friday before Christmas vacation, the choir and band held their annual Christmas concert. Different organizations sold a variety of items: industrial techniques classes sold Santa Claus pitchers, the P.T.A. sold popcorn cans and each grade competed in collecting canned goods to give to needy families. The faculty and students collected $200 for a Christmas present to Eric Turner, who had been hospitalized since his football injury in September. During Christmas vacation, Young Life went to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, to ski for four days. Variations sang at a debutante ball and the Senior Women held a New Year’s Eve party at the Plaza of the Americas hotel. In early January, students returned to school and began preparations for final exams. Seniors, anticipating graduation, ordered their caps and gowns, while underclassmen looked forward to starting a new semester. All Wildcats found this time of the year very special because they were kept busy participating with fun activities that only happen during winter months.

Wildcats Lunchtime: Lunchtime was spent in a number of ways. Most students spent much of the thirty-minute lunch period in the cafeteria. Students chose their meals from the short line which offered hamburgers and french fries or one of the long lines which served the scheduled DISD meal which included some new additions: Pac-man Burgers, Fiesta Salad and Sea Food Nuggets. Teachers monitored halls while assistant principals watched the cafeteria for line-jumpers. Gossip, stories of the night before, classes, and answers to tests were just a few of the things that were discussed at lunch tables. Outside in The Horseshoe, some students ate junk food and drank soft drinks they purchased from vending machines in the middle hallway. In the past, students with transportation left the school premises for lunch, but this year it was no easy task to leave campus for lunch. Other students found the peace and quiet of the library a good atmosphere to study for tests or to finish homework. During “A” lunch the Wildcat Warehouse was open for students to purchase pickles, gum, and other items. Thanks to the food in the cafeteria, the vending machines, and the school store, the appetites of all Wildcats were satisfied daily. Ingrid Stephens reveals her homework answers to her buddies.
