His elfish friend was freshman Sherri Smith. FMS cease! Christmas peace Many students also decorated L' their rooms. A party atmos- phere prevailed as the second floor lobby was packed with people. The evening ended with a party for Lewis residents. This was the first year for the open house to be on different nights, but it provid- 1 ed the students and guests with a chance to relax and enjoy visiting the dorms. Peo- ple were not as rushed and - were able to visit more, said Miss Minard. Although open house provided a brief interlude from studying, students could not get finals off their minds. During the last week of school, the library became the popular hangout. Extra-curricular ac- tivity ceased as students crammed for exams. The announcement of John Lennon's death broke in momentarily on the intensity of cramming and reviewing in early December. This, com- bined with the baCk-and-forth negotiations over the hostage situation, kept students aware of other kinds of true-false and multiple choices. Many students desperately tried tto no avaiD to change their finals so they could go home early. One by one each exam was crossed off the list with a sigh of relief, or in some cases, a groan of despair - due to a lack of studying. Smiles and frowns told who was finished with finals and heading home, and who still had four exams left to go. The long semester behind them, most students were ready for a month-long vaca- tion, seeing their family and friends, and having a good long rest. -Kent Moody junior Lynn Schulz and sophomore Debbie Dodson are accompanied by senior Becky Frost as they sing a medley of Ring Those Bells, God , , Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and .1 r What Child Is This at the Christmas ' Praise Festival.
