Mellow reflections of Christmas past and present filled the school annex during the annual Mistletoe and Holly Ball. Ush- ering the season in with a grand repro- duction of Colonial Williamsburg, indus- trious Keyettes and Key Clubbers provided an intimate glimpse of the 1 8th century town, featuring the Duke of Gloucester Street Candles winked in the stained glass windows of Bruton Parish Church, and deacon ' s benches provided rest for weary dancers With imaginations aglow, guests could visualize golden lights spilling from cellophane lamps, and candlelight flickering from lanterns ad- orning the house front doors. The hospitable atmosphere of Sir Thomas ' Tavern invited hungry guests to sample holiday goodies from tables laden with food fit for a royal governor of colonial times. The exciting sounds of Diamond Dupree filled the air with a pulsating rhythm. Semi-formal attire did not in- hibit the dancers as they moved in the modern disco styles to today ' s music. The dance ended much too soon. De- parting guests strayed back for one last look down the Duke of Gloucester Street, its once festive radiance dimmed as the band packed up to leave. Slowly, guests emerged from the spirit of an old-fash- ioned Christmas to the 20th century. Take that and that! Miss Cheryl Meidinger looks on appalled at the brutality with which Wally Nelson clears the Annex for the dance Beating the heat with a refreshing drink of punch. Tea Romano and Chip Handley take a break from the vigorous dancing at the Mistletoe and Holly Ball. Why are they smiling? Tim McCrane and Toni Rodriguez, obviously having a good time, will never tell. Highlights — 26

KHS teacher, Mrs. Lynn Grandle reels in her prize at the Tribal Tales fishing pond Up Right Step Get what you ring! Ring what you get! Six rings for a quarter! Having set up their booths the day before, anxious club members bustled about Saturday, December 16, in prepara- tion for the ICC-sponsored Winter Carni- val. Approximately twenty clubs and or- ganizations particpated in the festivities with hopes of raising money for their up- coming Spring activities. Hot buttered popcorn, cotton candy, clowns, and lively music — all added to the carnival atmosphere. Attending students and faculty could choose between a wide variety of activities ranging from fortune-telling to dart-throwing, to eating. Little children ' s cries of joy filled the gym. Hey, Mom! I won, I won! I won a prize! No one was im- mune from the carnival spirit. And just as quickly as it had begun, the carnival was over. Though tired and lacking enthusiasm after working long hours, club members and sponsors put away tables, swept floors, and measured their success by the amount of money in the cash box. Mmm, good!
