J .eff f Mhz ,zu Bad Weather Brings Early Vacationp Choirs Present Christmas Programs Icy Streets provided HP students with an early Christmas present as schools closed for two days because of the bad weather. Members of the Lads and Lassies missed even more school as they pres- ented Christmas programs for the Rotary Club, Caruth Rehabilitation Center, and Blanton Gardens during school hours. Highlandaires and Cho- ralaires spread Christmas cheer as they caroled at Childrens Medical Center, Scottish Rite Hospital, and St. PauI's Hospital. Seniors presented the poignant play Flowers for Algernon. The play was directed by Mrs. Carla McGee. BOY'S Y-Teens challenged the jun- ior football boys to a charity basketball game during advisory period. Although handicapped by being tied together in pairs at the wrists, the boys managed to eke out a victory. Proceeds from the game went to the March of Dimes. For another charity project, the Hi-Lites Red Cross Committee made Christmas stockings that were distributed by the Red Cross Center. Seniors Leslie Roberts and Paul Rohlfs were tapped for the lead roles in the musical, Hello, Dolly. Results of the musical tryouts held December 14 were announced after the Lads and Lassies' annual procession of caroling through the halls of HP. The Highlander staff celebrated the Yuletide season with a Christmas dinner and gift exchange at Business Manager Tom Latimer's house. Sandy Ball and Virginia Griffin vol- unteered their homes for the Spanish club's progressive dinner. Seniors racked their brains on December 2 and December 9 trying to score high on their SAT and ACT col- lege entrance examinations. December 0 29
