Mr. Whitesel, principal, enjoyed sitting on the lap of Santa, Scott Spen- CCT. ANTA came twice this year. There was much ex- citement and anticipation towards Christmas. It made people here at Franklin Pierce walk down the halls sing- ing, skip class, give their teachers apples, and smile at the vice principal. Days seemed to go faster around this time of year. Mr. Rufus Fox took time off from his job as guidance counselor to be Santa at the Girls' Club assembly Dec. 22. President's Council brought Santa, Scott Spencer, to school Dec. 20 and 21. He held students, and even the principal, on his lap, and pictures were taken. This was a spirit-raising project during the three lunches. This year our school was the scene of gaily decorated Christmas trees, pictures on windows, and Merry Christ- mas written everywhere. The students and faculty were full of the Christmas spirit. The Christmas vacation, starting Dec. 24, brought stu- dents back ,lan 3 eager to begin a good new year. This tree was decorated by the Psychology Club and displayed in room 601.
