The enthusiasm of Christmas with the mistletoe and gifts has not arrived yet, but the students wait patiently, counting the days 'til vacation. Christmas approaches slow- ly and students begin to buzz with the excit- ement of the holiday season. Drama students present a Christmas play, and Concert Choir sings of the birth of Christ to an enraptured MUHS student body aud- ience at the holiday assembly given Friday morning. School closes early Friday so all students are joyous, especially the seniors who have just received the news that their class won the canned food drive. Amid the warm glow of Christmas decora- tions, a huge tree attired in angel hair, and holiday scenery dressing the walls of the old gym, the Majorettes sponsor a semi-formal Christmas ball Saturday evening, December 21, which forms the climax to Christmas festivities. Students see their choice, senior Mary Hepler, crowned queen by head maj- orette Peggy Bissell at the dance. Queen Mary and her court, junior Marilyn St. Clair, sophomore Patty Graves, and Freshmen Carol Walch, lead the next dance played by The Stop from salem. This is Christmas, fast paced, bustling, yet with a serene atmosphere which will al- ways remain a part of Molalla Union High.

Assemblies Feature Current Problems A major responsibility of the student body officers and student council is to schedule national assemblies for student entertainment and education. Varied pro- grams, dealing with sex- In front of God and everybody? -and science are the main headliners. No one can soon forget the lectures on marijuana and drugsg the shock of listening to a man who knows he will soon die from lung cancer as a result of smokingg the trial of one Becky Guild vs. the State on the fictitious charge of minor in possession of liquorg and the atomic wonders of science. On a wide scope, national assemblies deal with realism and people. 19
