Ringing Bells, Parties, Concerts Crowd the Christmas Season Most of the Christmastime activity was cen- tered around clubs as some kind of service pro- ject was underway just about all the time. The Salvation Army was aided by numerous NL clubs as they rang bells at the more than six different booths located around Paris and donated money and Christmas baskets. All of the club activities weren't service projects, thoughg Latin Club went to Dallas shopping and to eat supper at the Reun- ion Tower. Math lub members had an old-fash- ioned Christmas party where candy and decora- tions were made for the Drake family, and most organizations took advantage of their one or two out-to-eat days per year. As if they weren't wild enough already, sched- ules were disrupted even more for a magic show by Sammy Cunninghamg club and organizations pictures on the same day as the bands' formal Christmas concert, and completely torn up by the first cancelled school day tue to ice coming an entire month early. The hectic month finally ended with a class party in just about all the teachers' classes and a Christmas program for the high school and junior high student bodies by the combined choirs. Can you get out of it?
