Activities Curtailed by Power Shortage Everyone knew it was winter whether they were inside or outside of the school. An energy crisis kept the school thermostat at 68°. Although some preferred indoors, many students spent their winter outside either skiing or playipg hockey. A new high school ruling saw the wres- tling and basketball teams practicing in community build- ings while all games were cancelled during the two-week Christmas vacation. Apparel on November 30 sent the school body Back to the 50 s — a day climaxed with a nos- talgic dance. The Christmas Concert was a great success as the audience listened to presentations by the band and choirs. Much controversy arose over the production of Crisscrossing resulting in the performance of The Visi- tor from Mamoroneck as a replacement for the one-act play. Once again, Sno Week had students outside frolick- ing in the snow, reminding them that winter was here with snow sculptures, skiing at Snowcrest, broomball con- tests and tobogganing at Eko Backen.

“Passage Performs At Mistletoe Magic ''Mistletoe Magic” was the romantic theme of this year's Christmas Dance which was held December 15. The dance was a very special occasion not only because it brought the spirit of Christmas, but also because of the expensive band Passage.” The group, made up of noted members from Leon Russell's band and Mason Profit,” gave an excellent performance. Sponsoring the dance, the choir provided members who either poured punch, served cake, mingled with the crowd, or occasionally held mistletoe above an unsuspecting couple. Many couples sat on Santa's knee to discuss Christmas wishes while one of his helpers took color pictures of the scene. Couples also found a moment of privacy within the walls of this year's special attraction, a kissing booth. 24 Christmas Dance
