Yuletide Celebration First snow kindles hopes for white Christmas “Dashing through the snow. What snow? This, my boy, is Texas. Well we did actually have snow one night. Senior Amy Agee describes how surprised she was. I was at church making fruit baskets, and all of a sudden I looked outside and it was snowing. So, of course, I stopped what I was doing and ran outside and played in it. It was a Thursday night, and of course, the snow was gone by Friday noon. But it was snow. It gave us hope of actually having a white Christmas. It was only a hope, but then what is life without hope? Anyway, the Colts went on with Christmas life even without much snow (although most spent Thursday night hum- min’ balls of the stuff at each other and then spent Friday getting over colds that resulted from getting hit by it). Days were divided between last minute Christmas shopping and consuming all the information teachers tried to cram in before the Christmas holidays. However students still managed to keep that infinite Colt Christmas spirit alive. The senior class sponsored a Christmas dance — yet another time for the school to get together outside of schooltime. The at- tire of the evening was casual blue jeans with any (and every) possible kind of green and red sweat shirts. The Student Council sponsored the an- nual door decorating contest. To a person walking down the halls, the scene was frightening. The halls were decked with boughs of holly, miles of ribbons, sheets of paper, a few dozen size 154 stockings, and even a large jalapeno with blinking lights. The winners? Mr. John Robison’s second period special education class. They won by transforming their door into a fireplace from which a 3-D life-sized plus Santa Claus was emerging. ACTIVITIES 27
