■■■■■■■Hi L Holiday Cheer E espite a cold, bleak, cloudy morn¬ ing, many people turned out to watch the Screaming Eagle band and varsity cheerleaders perform in the annual Manassas City Christmas Parade. On December 7, the festivities began in the early a.m. with the procession of many clowns wandering through the streets promoting laughter. They were fol¬ lowed by many different, original floats contributed and designed by area organi¬ zations. Providing music for viewers to sing along with, many bands, including our own, pumped out various Christmas tunes to encourage cheer; further cheer was provoked by the varsity cheer¬ leaders. Although the weather was not as wonderful and cheery as it could have been, the holiday spirit remained alive in all spectators until the finale — the Santa Claus float — made its way through the streets to end this annual event. The Screaming Eagle Band provided Christmas music to the delight of the crowd. Mayor Edgar E. Rohr rides in one of his many antique cars. In keeping with tradition, this clown leads the Christ¬ mas parade and starts the festivities off. nara Ho 1 7

The foremost items in¬ cluded the formal attire needed to either purchase or rent. For the girls, picking out the most beautiful — and often most expensive — dresses was the first chore. They had to be tried on, altered (if neces¬ sary), and lastly, paid for. For the guys, deciding on the right tuxedo to wear could be just as tiring and costly. As the date of the dance drew nearer, other de¬ tails had to be attended to. Restaurant reservations, if taken, had to be made far in advance of the night. Accessories to the outfit had to be purchased also. These extra items included purses to match the color of the dress, matching shoes, earrings, necklaces, gloves, and makeup. Hours of spare time were an¬ other necessity required for try-on time, fixing the hair, and seeing the finished product before the event, other factors had to be worked with.
