Christinas Spirit Shared Among Friends Christmas spirit and cheer pervaded Grace halls in the weeks before Christ- mas. Christmas angels were surprising Kris Kindls with gestures of thought- fulness. There were thoughts of the Cantata, the Holly, the Christmas party. The seniors hosted the party and Christmas angels revealed identities to their Kris Kindls. With a flurry of excitement came the exchange of gifts. What a happy beginning for the rwo- weeks ' holiday vacation! Santa Claus feels a bit stuffed. A typical scene in a cheer-filled gym. Hungrily, Sheila Blanton takes her cookies. Surely not! It ' s broken. Theresa Mar- shall laments. Riva Benz laughs.
