'Younger set' gives seniors spirit to grow on Happiness runs , . . and so did 75 peppy guests from Franklin Elementary School at the senior's annual Christmas Party. Apprehensive seniors, unsure of proper etiquette with the younger set, paced nervously at the front door, waiting for buses to arrive. Then came the stampede to capture a little friend to match each gift. Both girls and guests straggled to a cafeteria transformed into a Christmas wonderland for a feast of hot dogs, chips and countless cookies. Entertainment featured Robin Newes' debut as The Grinch Who Stole Christmas to the melodious narration of Sue Jenkins. But heard between Jackie Nadeau's ho-ho-ho-ing's were little voices asking, Are you on welfare too? which caused the Murray girls to pause and consider Christmases unlike theirs. Best of all were the notes of thanks. Thank you for the funl had, friends . . . your party was the best I ever went to . . .N 68fSenior Christmas Party LEFT: Lifting her boy onto Ru- dolph, Kathy Odean discovers tha he weighs more than she expected.

Christmas time enlivens spirit of student bod So much to do in one week and so little time to do it in. With a snip and in a snap the halls were finished. Depicting everything from Jesus to gift-wrapped packages, the girls decorated the halls in hopes of winning a prize. Needy people also received prizes offered by AMMers at the Golden Mass. Musical people ofAMM and Hill got into the act by presenting a concert. Mystical voices blended together to delight a full house, while the band set toes tapping with various tunes. Too soon the week faded into the Christmas holidays and the frantic pace of school gave way to the frantic pace ofChristmas shopping.
