Painting and dancing Christmas into our hearts, Miss Rohleder. Miss Goeg- ein, and Mrs. Marquardt present the three French hens. During the assembly angelic voices were not heard from afar, but right from our own gym as all the choirs carolled together. Whether he lost his calendar or decid- ed to moonlight, the Easter Bunny, alias Jim Julius, hops along with Christ- mas cheer. Peanuts, Partridges, People Christmas Assembly 15

A Lion Country Christmas . . . Christmas is here! Christmas is here! On December 21, 1978 we didn ' t even need Paul Revere to tell us. It was in the air, and on the floor of the Leo High School gym- nasium. There, live and in person, was Charlie Brown, Linus, Pig-Pen, Lucy, Snoopy, Peppermint Patti, and all our other Peanut ' s pals, telling us the true meaning of Christmas. Thanks to special members of the Student Council (Jim Nolan, Jeff Burns, Rick Zim- merman, Laura Essenburg, Matt Heller, Gina Brown, and others) we will never again celebrate an- other commercial Christmas! And now. Hark, the Angels sing! The Choirs: Swing Choir, Concert Choir, and the Girl ' s Glee, enter- tained us with new Christmas songs as well as the familar car- ols. The whole student body was invited to sing along. The Twelve Days of Christmas, that ' s another Christmas classic, right? Well, here at Leo, it was turned into a Christmas comic. The comedy was led by our own turtle-dove-at-heart, Mr. Novak. Following him were each of the ' gifts ' of The Twelve Days of Christmas, disguised as teach- ers. We all like Christmas pre- sents under our tree, but those ' gifts ' might be hard to wrap, and nearly unreturnable! It was genu- inely unique entertainment. A live- ly round of We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year was an appropriate ending to a good day and a great year. The first gift of The Twelve Days of Christmas was presented by Mrs. Hol- brook as she wrapped herself in a par- tridge suit.

The WMEE basketball game was a tremendous exhibition of the fac- ulty ' s school spirit. Before an ex- cellent turnout of fans, about 35 teachers, dressed in a wild variety of costumes, participated in the event. With a team consisting of both elementary and high school faculty, the Leo staff was success- ful in its attempt to defeat the WMEE basketballers. 16 Faculty Basketbal
