THE SANTA CLAUS PARTY ONCE AGAIN, SANTA MANAGES TO VISIT NORTH SHORE This year ' s Santa Claus Party followed the pattern of those of years past. Each grade paired with one other to present a dance in Santa ' s honor. The faculty as well proved light on their feet in their dance. Seniors as usual played an important part in this year ' s program. Richard Marx was the master of ceremonies, Pam Scott fjead ' Twas the Night Before Christmas, and it was rumored that the most important part of all was played by andther senior class member (right, D.H.? And we don ' t mean Lawrence.) The day ' s activities were not only at the boys ' gym. After all the dances, the seniors and the kindergarteners went to the senior homeroom for their own party. They were lucky enough to be joined by Santa, who seemed happy enough when he arrived. However, after sitting by the window, with the sun shining brightly in his face, with his beard itching and his layered suit just a bit uncomfortable, Santa ' s patience must have been taxed just a bit. Yet he never let on. Instead, he graciously answered all the children ' s questions ( Yes, you can have a third box of ' Cracker jacks ' , and No, you cannot yank my beard off, and No, I don ' t attend this school ), and made the day a memorable one for all.

SPECIAL VISITOR TO NORTH SHORE When Ms. Geraldine Lawhorn (pictured above in the center) came to North Shore this past winter, students learned what true determination and courage can accomplish. Ms. Lawhorn has been both deaf and blind for most of her life. Her speech to the school and the following question and answer session seemed quite natural for her, and if we had not been told of her handicaps, it would have been quite hard for many to guess that she was deaf and blind. This is, of course, a great credit to Ms. Lawhorn. As she explained, she worked tirelessly to improve her speaking skills, and has learned a sign language. People cannot, of course, use normal sign language with Ms. Lawhorn. Instead, her friends have learned to hold her hand and speak by making the signals in her hand. In this way, Ms. Lawhorn can understand what the other per- son is saying, and can answer. She showed the school family how she can use a telephone (vibrations are impor- tant), and how she has managed to learn enough about the deaf and blind to become a teacher at the Hadley School for the Blind. The Hadley school is located in Winnetka, and students have volunteered there; indeed, one internship this year was ponsored by the Hadley School. Ms. Lawhorn ' s courage, intelligence, and wit impressed the students, and also :aught them a valuable lesson or two. Sometimes it is necessary to overlook your own problems, which you think ire quite important, and understand, or at least try to understand, someone else ' s. t will then be possible to help others in real ways; we will learn to communicate with them and how to make their ives as normal as our own. Ms. Lawhorn showed us what a handicapped person can offer a community. After ler day at the school, though, it was hard to get anyone to say that she was TRULY handicapped. 17
