ad oe Oe Christmas spirit was given a lift as John Warner and Robert Crumb hung silhouettes, snowflakes and camels on the library board display. The gaiety of Christmas prevailed the school week of Decem- ber 22. The library was festively decorated with bright poinsettias and a tree laden with sparkling balls. Many rooms had window displays and Christmas novelties—but not the seniors. They were too sophisticated! Students exchanged Christmas cards, and mysterious packages appeared on the teachers’ desks. An illuminated outdoor display of the three wise men and the shepherds, designed by the art department and set up by the carpentry department, carried the spirit of the season to all who passed by. An assembly program of Christmas carols by the music departments ended school at noon for the long vacation—the best part of all! Rs

Cafeteria Stampede Sa Snjured i I've got an appetite like a bird ..... a vulture! The galloping beat from the William Tell Overture couldn't have created a better musical background for the seem- ingly half-starved Dover students speeding from their classes down to the cafeteria in two seconds flat. Were they hungry or were they hungry! Everyone wanted to be first in line. After securing places they broke into excited chatter, pouring out their morning adventures to one another. At last they reached the counters, filled their trays from the tempting array, and were soon con- soled. Each class had its own table, where they gathered | for lunch. Noon meant more than eating. After they | were appeased, they sought release from study tension by congregating in the rear of the school, chatting and jesting. Many went to the library to pay for over-due books or to buy Doverian pictures which were on sale. “Margaret Behen .. . please excuse... ’’ Mr. Heenan checked passes of students who went home for lunch. Only possessors of these cards were excused from the grounds. No more quick trips up-town. Student Council President Gene McNinch drew the daily winner in the magazine campaign drawing. Mr. Sedule announced the lucky person to win the silver dollar. To be eligible for the drawing, students were required a sales quota of six dollars. As David Mackes pondered a choice of pictures at the Doverian picture sale in the library conference room, two girls were amused at a photograph of themselves. Photos were spread on tables according to price; sale was for the yearbook.
