Yuletide The Yule season calls for decoration. During December, students and teachers diligently carried out the Christmas theme. Displays included a tree made from Christmas cards. As an entry for the annual door decorating contest, Mrs. Hatcher's homeroom created the first-place display--a huge, smiling Santa. All were busy as the classes prepared floats for the Harrods- burg Christmas parade, in which the sophomores and seniors won third place. Most certainly, the boys' rest room choir reflected the spirit of the season.

Initiations are often the highlight of a student’s freshman year. Whether we dress as Romans for Foreign Language initiation or as absurdly as do the boys and the girls for FFA and FH A, our induction into the club of our choice and our initiation are memor- able events.

Moments The first snow of the season caught our school at its loveliest, but the snow disappeared from the school grounds before Christmas morning. Realizing that Christmas is a time for sharing, the Library Club visited a rest home, taking fruit and small gifts. During the visit, a Christmas program was pre- sented . The clock in the library was transformed into a plump-faced little man called Santa Claus by his faithful followers.
