OLIDA YS Legal absences celebrated in diverse ways Holidays - those cher- ished few days students wait for to take a break from the normal routine. These legalized school ab- sences are celebrated in as many ways as there are imaginations. During the Christmas holidays, I think the earli- est I went to sleep was around 2 a.m., sophomore Tony Poole said. I spent many hours on the phone and stayed out late almost every night. Needless to say, I wouldn't get up the next day until about one. I use holiday time to re- lax, sophomore Amy Walter said. I don't really have any desire to go any- where, and so I just sleep late and kind of become a bum. There were also those who decided to use their free time for more con- structive purposes. I got a part-time job at Christmas. I really didn't work that much, but it gave me some sort of schedule to follow, as well as spending mon- ey, sophomore Kelly Gas- kill said. Recreational activities were also included in holi- day plans. When I get a day off from school, I like to go to Lavon and water ski. For longer vacations our family goes to Lufkin where I get a chance to get out and hunt, sophomore David Stricklin said. Regardless of the way students spent their time off, they were quick to agree that their vacation time was not to be wasted over school related activi- ties. Homework? Me do homework on a day off? You've got to be nuts, said senior Keshia Caston. I've got more important things to do. 7 2. STUDENT LIFE 2 SITTING IN THE DRAMA ROOM, juniors Melissa Ceaslin and Karla Stull talk about the day's events in their Halloween costumes. The Student Council sponsored the dress-up day. ata

NTASY Celebrities attend a storybook ball A large gray castle stood silhouetted against a light blue background. Trees and other shrubs sur- rounded the castle, adorned with winking white lights. In the midst of it all was a great open drawbridge, ready to bring forth the nominees for the 1987 Celebrity Ball. Planning for the ball be- gan two months before its actual date. Members of the Marauder staff planned stage and table decorations while the Art Club sketched and painted the backdrops for the pictures. We worked on the back- drops for two weeks dur- ing school, and also the weekend before the dance, junior Todd Palmer said. It took up a lot of my time, and the ironic thing is I didn't go. By the night of the pre- sentation, everything was ready. For the second year in a row, the nominees were presented by Coach David Wallace and Mrs. Diane Powers, the former activities director. Enter- tainment was provided by Lisa Roper and Bart McGeehon, while junior Brent Sawyer accompanied the presentation of nomi- nees on the piano. The climax of the pre- sentation was the an- nouncement of Mr. and Miss North Garland by Marauder co-editors Me- lissa Roper and Lisa Slowinski. Katherine Kelly and John T. Shaddox were given the awards and, after a round of applause, the procession of celebrants left for the dance in the cafeteria. lcontinued on page 331 9 30 STUDENT Lire s SENIOR ALL NORTH CAR- LAND - Front row: Stephanie Lind, Hollye Stosberg.
