It’s All Worth It To most children Christmas is the happiest time of their life. But, there are a few children who have never felt the anxiety of Christmas Eve or the joy of Christmas morning. To these children, who have never received a toy from Santa Claus, Christmas is just another day in the year. Thanks to the members of the HOSA and VICA Clubs, this Christmas was made happier for a needy child. The HOSA Club collected one hundred to one hundred and fifty toys.

Exeress Yourself! “We are the Bulldogs and don’t you forget it! Cheering at the ballgames, keeping the spirit up, cheering the team on to victory, and later consoling them after defeat is what the 42 members of the Pep Club are all about. Nell Blye is the new sponsor who got the Pep Club organized at the beginning of the basketball season. ‘She commented, “We're out there to boost the team’s morale but we are also out there to encourage and console them not only in victory but we’re also there when they need us in defeat.” To raise money to travel to away ballgames, the Pep Club had a doughnut sale December 8. They made $230 on the sale. For each away ballgame the cost for the bus is around $35. You may realize now that Pep Club members are enthusiastic for the team to win. ‘‘We cheer all the time but it’s more fun when we’re winning,’ stated senior Robin Middlebrook. The play ‘Her Christmas Wish” was presented in the auditorium on December 18 and 19, 1979. All the English classes went to watch the Drama Club in their first performance of the year. The favorite character was “‘Speckles,’’ a beagle, whose owner was Mrs. Linda Blackburn. “All the characters did well, there weren't any big mess ups, all in all it went pretty smooth,’ commented Jana Watts, president. Sophomore Todd Walker commented, ‘The play was good but | liked the puppy best.’ Chorus Club BOTTOM ROW: Anne Southard, Eugene Early, Sandy McDowell (president), Robert Davis (associate director), Angela Howard, Judy McCombs (vice-president).
