November is a month of never-end- ing work: eagerly gathering willing and unwilling sponsors for Walkathon, .the exhausting struggle of walking 20 un- bearable miles, trying out for a much- improved basketball team, doing hur- ried last-minute studying for exams. Girls ' basketball games arouse everyone ' s enthusiasm; in their first game, the girls win by one point after three overtimes. The distinctive char- acteristic of our girls ' teams is that they often accidentally shoot at the wrong basket, once giving CKS four points. We work energetically on the Walkathon, accumulating sponsors, blisters, sore muscles and $6,000. What a feeling of accomplishment when the 20 miles have been walked and the money has been raised! Boys ' basketball tryouts bring the beginning of long workouts as coaches make certain that the summer ' s fat is sweated off. Expectations for a much better team are high. The end of 1st quarter jars us into pressured studying. When the cram- ming is over, we can only hope the results are better than we deserve. The first report card of the year is a shock, How could I do this terrible? We promise to dig in and really study next quarter. l) - 4 SAT Nov.i7. 973 14-Student Life

December is a month of Christmas activity; the Christian presentation of the Christmas story, the peaceful and loving feeling at the banquet, the rest- less emotion as basketball season opens, and the happy anticipation be- fore vacation. The elementary grades present their meaning of Christmas in a well- organized performance that touches high school students and parents. The Christmas banquet at the Tee House is formal but casual; performers, students, teachers, and friends are all relaxed and full of fun. The banquet is filled with the love of Christmas. Basketball season opens with a burst of energy; we give all we have to cheer- ing or playing. The cheer-leaders pro- duce a pep rally that is the best yet; school spirit rises to a new peak. By the end of the month, we all tire of school work and activity. The Christmas spirit jumps from school to home. As we rest, December passes. 16-Student Life
