t t . ' i li 'GW he trees go up, the bells go on, the lights light up and the Christmas season, with all its hustling and bustling, makes its presence well known to everyone. The signs and sounds of the holidays follow you wherever you go. All around town the chimes and bells ring out and the colorful decorations on light poles and buildings sway in the blistery wind. A trip to a department store has definite seasonal signs with extra cashier lanes and children telling Santa what to bring after pulling his whiskers. The Salvation Army and March of Dimes, as well as student government, collect donations from cheerful givers to make Christmas a joyous time for needy persons. Even your home is given to Christmas, with Christmas carolers blending tones to you and your Christmas tree lights blinking on and off. Christmas can become a reality the moming af- ter jolly old St. Nicholas arrives that he may just be an added attraction. Christmas may really have arrived when the special glitter comes to a child's eye and a stranger smiles and wishes you a warm, wonderful Meny Christmas. A HEAVY ORDER - Keeping with the tradition of sitting on Santa's knee, Mr. Richard Persinger, principal, joins an exploring childhood party. SEASONAL HANGUPS - Helping to put up and decorate the office Christmas tree, Laurie Cruzan hangs a ball on the tree limb. HOLIDAY PARADE - Riding in the back of a converti- ble, the Miss Christmas City contestants wave as they go down a Marion street. 2 2 Christmas WARMI SIDE COLD 0 TSIDE

feet S e interrupt your regularly scheduled program for a special weather bulletin. A winter storm watch is in effect for the northern third of the state for the next three months. A heavy cold front is moving south from the North Pole bring- ing with it tons of snow, brisk winds from the north, and extremely cold temperatures You are advised to seek shelter after stocking up on crackers, Kool-Aid and deodorant. Winter, if we had our choice as to which season to leave out, would probably be the one to get canned. But wouldn't that seem odd? Think of all the good sides of the coldest season. Remember the holidays with their snowy scenes and fancy decorations. Think of the fun that ice skating, skiing, and sledding bring. Think of flaming fireplaces, cancelled school, and glittering snow. If there were no winter what would you do with 24 .Quint Q r,k5 Q ':'. E Q 5 . a 4 Q ln .gl frh 'i e it ir- J ,rf your winter clothes and the heater in your car? Far- mers would have to plow, plant and harvest all year round without rest. The snow plow and snow shovel industries would go bankrupt. Also it is possible that some people might just happen to'miss Old Man Winter and Jack Frost. You couldn't have any snow- ball fights or even build a snowman. And what would television do without their annual showing of Frosty the Snowman? Poor Santa Claus would be nowhere to be found. Winter may be hard to think of as good when the biting winds chap your face and snow drops into your shoes, but it gives us something to look forward to - summer, which in turn may make us long for, that's right, good old cold, damp, windy, freezing, snowy, icy, slick winter. LATE, LIGHT SNOW - The darkness surrounding the school building provides a chance for the outside lighting to cast a soft glow onto the frozen, piled up snow. tif . '5- i r , '.. l get sgxr, 3 - si.
