DECEMBER FULFILLING FINALE can ' t believe it ' s a girdle! The new girdle on the market, the compact calculators used in math classes, the dehydrated foods found in grocery stores, all of these items found their way into American homes and businesses as an offshoot of extensive space research. This was the lesson science students learned when NASA delegate, Mr. Allison of Langley Air Force Base lectured as a guest of the CIA. Because the Literary N a az x e staff was not given a school period in which to work, the staff sacrificed their Monday afternoons in order to finish the magazine before Christmas. Patti Bowman edited material, completing the book which sold 150 copies. Another Yearbook deadline had to be met on December 15th. Reporters wrote copy and drew preliminary layouts, while editors organized materia! and finalized pages. With their director Mr. Warren Powell, the Chorus per- formed a Christmas concert at Nottoway and Bluestone. As a participant in Title III, the Chorus took part in programs created to increase public interest such as the public Christ- mas concert held at Central. After performing at the Christmas conc ert, the Band immediately began preparing for AH Regional Band audi- tions. Practicing for the auditions paid off for several Band members who were placed in the concert and symphonic bands. Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Warren Powell, sings Christmas songs at public concert. 4 lectu TisdalS Mlison ihgws CfA mefigber Bei fe new I dckpt designs. I- ' uNrno iT«rfS 24 Clubs

DECEMBER FUN-FILLED FESTIVITIES Clubs spread Christmas cheer to the community, school and mostly to themselves. Three KEY CLUB members contributed to the Victoria Christmas parade by construc- ting the banner for the Kiwanis parade entry. Both Tri- Hi- Ys built parade floats. While JR. TRI-HI-Y girls were in the school shop warmly creating their float, SR. TRI-HI-Y girls were subjected to freezing outdoor temperatures in a member ' s carport where they built their third place win- ning float. The urge to sing seasonal carols gripped both Tri-Hi-Ys. The Key Club joined the Sr. Tri-Hi-Y in night time caroling and refreshments in the school cafeteria. The Jr. Tri-Hi Y caroled and had refreshments at Mrs. Gee ' s house where they presented Mrs. Gee a poinsetta. The FRENCH CLUB and SPANISH CLUB sang carols in their respective lan- guages at the school Christmas assembly. The FHA spread seasonal cheer by creating stuffed animals and filling stockings for local kindergarteners. The Sr. Tri-Hi- Y helped Girl Scouts collect toys for underprivi- leged children. Santa Claus Va dis Shupe arrived at the annual Sr. Tri- Hi- Y Christmas party for underprivileged children. Bright eyed children received early Christmas presents,and ate refreshments before striking down two pinatas and pop- ping balloons. The FBLA traveled to Clay ' s Rest Home one night and they entertained senior citizens with songs and games. The ANNUAL STAFF held a Christmas party and exchanged handmade gifts. Kitty cats abound in Home Ec. room where FHA members Sue Snead, Patti Estes and Brenda Townsend flaunt stuffed animals and stockings. During the Christmas assembly French student and dub mem- ber Celia Williams and Donald Gee sing Joy to the World in French. 26 Clubs
