Some students stayed the halls, excite- Itig all downhill home to partici- ment was stir- ring as We head- from here ed for the malls. On the after- noon of Friday, December 22, DHS students breathed a sigh of relief because semes- ter exams were over and va- cation had finally begun. The majority of students rushed out to the malls to get their last-minute Christmas shop- ping done. Because of the new semester change, there were only two shopping days left before Christmas. I barely had enough time to get my shopping done. I finished on Christmas Eve, junior Valerie Baker said. The week following Christmas was spent at sum- pate in school sports, while others spent their time work- ing or sleeping. I had to stay in Desoto and work full time during our vacation, but I made a lot of money, said senior Andrea Duncan. Despite the fact that there wasn't a white Christmas, DHS students weren't totally let down because of a white New Year. I was really upset that it didn't snow at Christmas. I've never had a white Christmas before. But the snow around New Year's made up for it, said senior Nannette Kellam. 62 msg!
