A CHRISTMAS CARROLL The morning was like any other winter moming-the brisk December wind was icy cold, the frozen ground was covered with a thin layer of snow, and traces of jack Frost's handiwork were seen on the windows of buildings and cars alike. The parking lot slowly filled up as students brought their sputtering and unwilling cars to settle down again until school was out at 3:05. As the students filtered in, however, something was dif- ferent. There was a feeling in the air which came but once a year. It was manifest through holly wreaths and jingle bells. Yes, it was Christmas!! Voices could be heard mut- tering through the halls. I haven't even begun my Christ- mas shopping, yet. Are you going anywhere for Christ- mas vacation? What do you want for Christmas?,' just about every class had its share of the Christmas spirit, whether it be the Sophomores dressing up their hall with Christmas decorations or the Seniors with their Mr. and Mrs. Claus and company. The last day before the Christmas vacation was an exciting one in most classes. Needless to say, not much work was accomplished. Banquets and pinata parties were, however, on the agenda. Today also was the appointed day for the exchange of gifts and cards. Dur- ing fifth period the swing choir thrilled the student body by singing Christmas carols through the halls and in the stairwells. Christmas was a time for giving and almost every student gave what he could to make it special. b E f t , F: T - 4. i Qkx gs-A -1 Two crisscrosed sticks, a bunch of different colors of yam, and a LOT of finger muscles are necessary for so homore Rick Schreiber, and juniors Davegohnson, Diane Remeta, and Prude to make Ojos de Dios in their panish Ill class.

Sitting P1-err Have you ever realized that we spend the majority of our waking hours sitting down? Whether we are sitting in classes, driving in a car, watching television, read- ing the newspaper, or eating, most of our time is spent sitting. But it doesn't HAVE to be boring! Sitting can be fun!! The next time you're bored silly with nothing to do but sit, try your luck at sitting different ways. Throw out the conventional both feet on the floor, back straight, hands folded in your lapv theory. Try, instead, tucking one foot underneath you or maybe stretch out the entire length of the desk. Remember! You're not only getting over your boredom-but you're actually losing weight! That's right-sitting burns up several calories per hour! At the rate you're going fif you don't eat for a whilej you may lose one pound in about 3 weeks! But if this alone cannot get you out of your boredom, try noticing OTHER peo- ple. Notice how they bend over their work to see it better or how they lean back in their seats to get comfortable. Notice not only their sitting habits but look at the expressions on their faces, too. Have you ever noticed how someone in deep thought squints his eyes? How about a person just waking up? VVhatever they're doing, take notice. You may be very interested by what you see!! Remember . . . sitting doesn't HAVE to be boring!! Senior Richard Hoopengardner, after learning about taxes in Gov- emment class, is not only bored, but he's about to go to sleep!! While talking to her friends in Psych class, senior Sandy Mishler dis- covers a very unique way of sitting! 16 Sitting Pretty
