Crowning Miss Merry Christmas, ex- traordinary door decorating, an early va- cation and a break-in were events that made Christmas 1982 very memorable. Crowned during intermission of the high school Christmas Concert, eighth grader Lori Murphree began her reign as Miss Merry Christmas. I thought it was a dream,” Lori recalled. I had Glenda (Lake) pinch me. Only at Humansville could a snowman exist for two weeks without melting,’' Mr. Piper, one of the door judges, comment- ed about the snowman on the business room door. Several fourth hour classes participated in the Student Council spon- sored contest, displaying extraordinary creativity and Christmas spirit. First prize went to the shorthand class for a fluffy cotton snowman complete with a carrot nose and worn boots. “It was nice of the board to give us a full extra day of vacation, but I still didn’t think our Christmas break was long enough, Debbie Gannaway illuminated what seemed to be the general consen- sus of the students and faculty members regarding the school board’s approval of an early Christmas break. Over the holiday vacation the elemen- tary, high school and gym were broken into. Damages including stolen money, broken windows, and scattered papers were the result of the incident. “It's hard to imagine people would be out Christ- mas night committing vandalism,” Miss Hogan remarked. The holiday was one of extremes — the halls were filled with tremendous pre- Christmas spirit; yet discouraging vandal- ism also filled the halls over Christmas — these events will long be remembered about the Christmas of 1982.
