VAyUtt mmtbfi netM mM Wa |jMi (Jioiiity Believing in the dictum that charity begins at home, the Junior Class staged a winter Volleyball Marathon to raise money for their class treasury. The treasury will eventually subsidize the Class of '79's Senior Prom and defray in- dividual costs for that big night out. volleyball to pay to watch a solid weekend of it. Just like you have to be some kind of an addict to volunteer to play the game for a solid weekend. But there were those who came and watched, just as there were those dedicated enough to class to come and play. It was a novel idea and enjoyed moderate success. The class made a few hundred dollars in ad- missions and on spin-off revenues from the sale of refreshments. They spent very little to stage the marathon. But it didn't raise the scads of money that the Senior Variety Show does, for example. While we shudder at the thought of a 48-hour long volleyball contest, we must confess that the game was not long enough in duration to rate in the Guinness Book of World Records.

That was especially true this year at the school, for the students in Cooperative Education threw a big party for the special kids. Every Co-op student was a Santa Claus in his own way. They had gifts, and goodies, and games. But more, they brought good cheer. Their spirit spilled over and infected the rest of the student body. Classes were called off at midday of the last day before the holiday vacation. And there was the usual round of classroom parties. There were a variety of activities schedul- ed by Student Union, including games in the gym and movies in the auditorium. There was a recep- tion. too. for returning alumni. The chorus gave its annual concert after the tree-lighting ceremony and. later in the week, carolled through the halls. The big social event was the Christmas Dance, featuring the Indigos—past and present. Did you know that each year former members of the dance band return to play during this dance? To make things just perfect, it snowed on Christmas Eve. We didn't realize at the time that it would keep snowing, and that the ground would be white until March. HOLIDAYS—25
