A lt was early when the young boy leaped out of bed with his heart pounding. He fumbled as he put on his robe and slippers. Quietly he crept down the stairs so not to awaken his sleeping mom and snoring dad. Through the gloom he could make out the Christmas tree standing boldly in front of the window. He groped for the cord a while then plugged in the tree. At first his eyes were blinded by the glaring light, then they slowly recovered. The boy's mouth curled in awe and delight, Santa Claus had outdone himself again. Although many people wrongly think that Christmas is for children, it is impossible to stop the flow of friendship that Christ- mas inspires. The giving and receiving of gifts only helps to increase the spirit of goodwill. The short vacation of ll days was met with groans of disapproval, but the stu- dents were cheerful as ever. The parties that were planned for only the homeroom period managed to stretch themselves the length of the day. Cookies, soda, potato chips, cakes and candies were consumed by students in insurmountable quantities. But the students proved that they could give as well as receive. Over 12,000 cans were given to the Christmas Bureau by the high school. Mr. John Bruner's homeroom brought in 2000 cans and won the steak dinner prize served by Mr. Leon Youngpeter, Mr. James Manak and Mrs. Susan Fults. Despite Charlie Brown's fear of commer- cialism, the Grinch's plan ofthievery and Ebenezer Scrooge's Bah l-lumbugsf' the Christmas spirit will last forever in our hearts. Truely nothing can top the immor- tal words of Tiny Tim: 'God bless us one and all.' 28-C w STANDING BOLDLY, a Christmas tree brighr- JUNIORS Cathy POPP' Al HOOVCI and Marlo ens the cafeteria.
