The show was centered around students who were supporting the Elf Louise Christmas tund. The short month tor Height- sters was spent rushing to tin- ish work before the dismissal tor the holidays. The toreign language classes participated in the annual caroling through out the hallsg and the Fresh- men Class presented turkeys to the maintenance statt.

The additions to our city were only the begin- ning ot a revival ot downtown San Antonio.
