Christmas Dance “Yes Santa, there is a Christmas in Jewell,” was the theme for the 1980 Christmas dance. To bring the spirit of the holiday season into the school, students worked all afternoon to decorate Christmas trees and hang snowflakes from the ceiling of the multi-purpose room, making it feel as if the North Pole had moved several miles south. There was much excitement all evening while the stu- dents waited anxiously for the announcement of the King and Queen of the Christmas Dance. Finally the moment arrived and Becky Philipson named Jim Collier and Deena Sprague Christmas King and Queen. Troy and Company, a band from the Portland area, provided live music for the dancers. Playing rock, jazz, and country, the band gave everybody a taste of the music they liked best. And then the dance was over and the students filed out into the late evening air. One could tell by the look in the eyes of the students that everyone truly hoped that Santa would get the message — there really is a Christ- mas in Jewell. 1: The Christmas Court waits expectantly for the name of the king and queen to be announced.

Spirit Week Spirit Week is a week chosen during the basketball season, where students will go out of their way to show how much spirit they have for their school. During this week, events are scheduled for each day, to give each student the chance to support their class and their school.
