Ice Cream Castle Atmosphere Highlights Christmas Semi-Formal Cinderella, Alicia Elston, and Prince Charming, David Fackler were chosen to reign over the annual semi-formal Cinderella Ball, Saturday, December 14, with the theme of ‘‘Dream On.” The senior class sponsored the dance and spent the day transforming the cafetorium into an atmosphere of Christmas, including colored lights, murals, and a miniature Cinderella’s Castle. A Christmas tree was decorated to give a holiday atmosphere and brighten up the cafeteria. Students made the refreshments, served at regular intervals throughout the evening by seniors Dyan Lofting, Cecilia Webb, Yolanda Leal, and junior Sheila Phifer. Couples relaxed at small, private tables while enjoying refreshments and listening to the music. Members of the court were Dal- las Stoval, Gary Graves, Clyde Fal-adwood, Jeff Towery, Rick Collins, Brenda Keller, Darlene Allman, Thelma Miller, Peggy Lynn, and Susie Nelson. Formal pictures of the couples were taken to preserve the night forever and provide everlasting memories. Approximately 50 couples danced to music of Sundance, a local group, from 8:30 until the dance ended at 12 o’clock.

WINTER SPIRIT WEEK Buffalo Victory Climaxes Week Of Fierce Competition The sophomore class hung on by the skin of their teeth after a close race from the seniors during the final days, and went on to win the Winter Spirit Week. Button day, nose and eye day, and poster day were three categories of competition. Students who participated were counted and an average of the total members of their class was compiled. After each day, points were given to thg respective classes, and at the end of the week the sophomores emerged victorious. Snow White and the seven dwarfs, the pink panther, Lone Ranger, Bo-Peep, and Huckleberry Finn were roaming the halls of MHS on Thursday for storybook character day. International day drew students to school in Oriental, Argentine, Mexican, Dutch, Spanish and Arabian dress. To top off the week and to kick off the beginning of league basket- ball competition, a pep assembly and noise-maker competition were held. Students came equipped with pots and pans, horns, and nearly every imaginable kind of noise-maker, including several air horns. The seniors brought the largest and loudest of these, a fire engine siren. The seniors easily won, but were unable to overthrow the sophomores in the overall tally. The junior class placed third and the freshmen were fourth. 24
