Tiny gold lights embedded in a huge, ffeathery chandelier twinkled over enchanted couples on Saturday, December 17, the date of the annual Christmas Formal entitled Dreams Are Made of This . Couples entered the cafe- teria, transformed into a forest wonderland, through a gigantic fireplace built by the wood shop. At the far end of the dance floor, beside the large white Christmas tree, a small brown goat wandered amongst the snow drifts and fir trees. The theme was chosen and the decorations planned by co-chairmen Sharon Christianson and Sheryl Altig. I During intermission, the Christmas Formal Court was presented.

,ln 28 Spirited Seniors Reluctantly Surrender In addition to his musical ability, Mr. Ashizawa excels in the field of athletics as proved by his participation in the Senior- Faculty Game. Teachers were triumphant in both annual Senior-Faculty games, held Wednesday, Febru- ary 8 in the Madison gymnasium. In the first, held at 6:30, female faculty members, with the added assistance of several student teachers, bat- tled to outplay, outthrow, and outrun the fired up senior girls. Although enthusiastically coached by Wayne Brown the girls were unable to hold back the teachers, who fought to a 23-21 victory. Pam Smith, Fall Girls' League ViceLPresident, and Miss Gannon, P. E. teacher, organized the basketball game. Following the game, the male members of the faculty confronted the senior boys. While the seniors, coached by Tony Cuda, carefully planned their battle strategy the teachers plotted to overthrow the seniors. Although a close game to the end, the faculty was ahead during the final seconds winning 57-56. The Senior-Faculty Game, sponsored by the Letterman's Club, raised a total of S600 to help Madison's Athletic Fund.
