Even though no snow was to be found, the annual Christmas As¬ sembly went on as usual on the day we got out for Christmas vacation. It was a very festive occasion. The choirs sang and the bands played those familiar Christmas carols. The Orchestra was helped by some special guests: Mr. Curtis, cymbals; Mr. Schmidt, bells-, Mr. Browning, triangle-, Mrs. Kelley, tambourine; Mr. Zink, bells. The Pom Pon squad was on hand to perform as Santa’s elves. All in all, it put everyone in the true spirit of Christmas. Ho! Ho! Ho! - Santa Claus throws candy to the student body. Patrick Swayze watch out! Secretary Sherry Marks and Business teacher Dale Zink kick up their heels at the Christmas Assembly. X) Lifestyles

Students enjoy a game of musical chairs. A new dance? The girls danced with no feet, and the guys danced with no hands. In mid-December the language clubs of Belleville East combined memberships for a Christmas dinner and party. We had approxi¬ mately 300 members and guests. The clubs worked hard at decorating the cafeteria so that it didn’t look like the school cafeteria. The dinner was catered and had selections from French. German and Mexican cuisines. Representing France we had beef burgundy and crepes; for Germany, bratwurst and wienerschnitzel and apple torte? and for Mexico, flautas. enchiladas and sopapillas. Though the serving was late, the menu was good and those who persisted enjoyed them¬ selves. After dinner we settled down for some se¬ rious game playing for which prizes were giv¬ en. The first game was musical chairs with four winners. They drew a mystery gift from under the tree and found they had a foreign language sweatshirt or T-shirt. The second game was a mystery dance with ladies’ choice. It was a lot of fun for watchers and participants alike. Those winners won shirts too. The last game was Stomp-the-Balloon. It was a real contest to protect the balloon at¬ tached to one of your ankles. The survivors won shirts too. Throughout the evening names were drawn and door prizes given. With the winner of the last game the party ended at about 10:00. The clean-up crew quickly finished up and left the site in great shape. Mr. Schoenebeck, sponsor of the German club, explains the rules of the games. Lifestyles 31
