“Lommie Kissing Santa Claus”; but we didn’t despair, for it was all for “the cause”, to make the Christmas party of 1952 a success. Finally came the longed-for night of December 21st. Just about everybody came “with bells on”. Speaking of bells, what does that make you think of? Santa Claus, of course! He was there, too, making his appearance after the carols had been sung and the programme successfully performed. He was gen¬ erous this year for he gave presents to everybody, whether they were naughty or nice, and all that was required of the receiver was that he sit on Santa’s knee. This called for a refresher; so the food was enthusiastically devoured. With this added strength the party-goers were ready and roarin’-to-go, to finish off the evening by swinging and swaying to the lively music of Lawrence Dublenko’s barn dance gang assisted by Mr. and Mrs. DeTro. ' High School Wit Mr. Marshall: “What is the difference between vision and sight?” Billy Cavanagh: “When Lulu goes out in the evening she’s a vision; when she gets up in the morning she’s a sight.” Mrs. Bullock: “Now Class, can you tell me what that loud noise in the second act of Macbeth is?” Donald W.: “Yes, Macbeth kicking the bucket.” HELPFUL HINTS FOR HUMANS Do You Bite Your Fingernails?

strains of “Washing Dishes” or “The Good Old Days” floating through L.H.S. halls. In Miss Geary’s room began the feverish activity of creat¬ ing sunbonnets, while a peek into the dressing rooms revealed gorgeous creations of lace and net, commonly called formals. Then, on April 14 “The Sunbonnet Girl” was presented to a capacity audience. Encore! Encore! So, one week later, a sec¬ ond performance was given. Much credit for the success of this venture must be given to Mrs. Simpson and Miss Lowrie, who made the operetta possible. Again, this year, we sense excitement in the air, with rumors of “The Enchanted Isle” drifting here and there. “Could that be Chopin?”, we ask, as we hear Polonais Op. 40, No. 1. For further news, fellows and gals, tune into station Leduc High Year Book 1953-54. Mistletoe Capers ’Twas three days before Christmas, When all through the school, Shouts of laughter were heard, And remarks like “you fool”. (as Mary Kerpan and Iris Williams worked feverishly on the programme and its participants.) Decorations were made With the greatest of care (by Norman Klingbeil and committee) And put up by Darwin, Who fell from the ladder way up in the air. Yes, once again the Christmas spirit had came to L.H.S. The entire high school was buzzing with the excitemlent of pre¬ parations. Doris Schmidt was seen forever mumbling words that seemed as though they might fit in a speech; Donald Knopp and Evie Trempner consistently repeated the “Tennessee Waltz” with Marlene Abel, and Billy Cavanagh repeatedly saw Page Sixteen
