' Tis The Season To Be Jolly Dashing into December, students had a multitude of activities to keep them busy. With King winning most of its games, basket- ball continued, with the players making trips to many tournaments in other cities. The National Forensic League presented a melo- drama under the direction of student teacher Trace Keepers called the Great Goober Grab. Teachers and students from Mrs. Nancy Depuy ' s fifth period speech class made up the cast. Pop corn was sold to throw and the final performance ended with .Mrs. Depuy being drenched. The money earned was used toward attending tourna- ments. The final day of school before the Christmas holidays had a change of pace with the National Honor Society assembly in the morning and live entertainment in the cafeteria at other times. The NHS presented a grouping of several skits including The Twelve Days of Christmas in action, a doll factory at the North Pole, and a typical family squabble. The liighlight of the morning was the revealing of the school seal in the Concourse. Ordered by the Senior Class of 1971, it was a gift from them to all following classes.

Contributions col- lected by King amounted to $879.74 with King placing fourth among the participating schools. After registration on the .Monday following finals, school resumed its normal pace, slow and unexciting, for a little while anyway. .Apparently, the fire chief decided King students needed practice in running for their lives, so two surprise fire drills were held. As bells pealed throughout the school, students, teachers, and various and sundry other faculty members dashed through the halls for the nearest point of exit. The only criticism was that students tended to grasp hands thus forming a circle to prevent entrance by fire fighters if the need had
