Candy-grams, mistletoe, selling of Christmas trees, Christmas Bazaar, Winter Choral Concert — All of this helped the holiday spirit begin at Ft. Hunt. With vacation beginning on Dec. 23, studying and Christmas shopping were sometimes crammed into one night. Keyettes had their traditional selling of candy-grams. When Keyettes delivered these with a song, students reacted either excitedly or with embarrassment. Student Government tried to inspire romance by hanging mistletoe over classroom doors. Then they were joined by the Ft. Hunt Boosters in fundraising events. While the Boosters Club sold Christmas trees, SG rented sections of the cafeteria to clubs for selling various holiday items. The Bazaar was profitable for the Boosters Club and for those clubs that participated. The Choral Department put on their annual Winter Concert w Inch included not only singing, but also dancing and a skit. Unfortunately, it didn’t snow in the Ft. Hunt area over the winter vacation; however, that didn’t stop traditional holiday merriment. 28
