Holiday brightens up month Christmas decorations show classroom spirit thankful. It was a time to give, share, celebrate, and to be with the loved ones in your life... and it always will be. The December month rolled in quietly with unseasonable weather conditions causing students to re- main in the the entire month Without the luxury of any days canceled due to snow. The holiday festivities were re- flected throughout the rooms and hallways of the school. Classrooms decorated their rooms with stock- IHSS, tinsel, chimneys, snowflakes, and even the traditional Christmas trees strung with bright flashing lights and ornaments hanging from branches.

School trips, guest speakers entertain students Classes. Was there no escape from them? Students were marched into the class in long lines of fifteen, twen- ty or sometimes even more. Their story was one heard much too of- ten, and their inevitable fate was always the same: monotonous and dull.

The chemistry classes exper- ienced a Career Awareness Week which brought representatives from toxicology, medical, and engi- neering fields who presented in- a formation on their fields and col- lege. I learned about different professions that I didn't know even existed, commented Iennifer Blessing, junior.

Their activities included enjoying a jacuzzi, swim- ming pool, racquetball, ice skating, and of course, skiing.

People seemed really nice, and I felt wel- comed there, said Tracie Reinwald, junior, who attended the Leavenworth exchange.

The overnight tourna- ments allowed us to concentrate a little more on competing, have more fun, and Mr. Crabtree made sure that we learned to act respon- sibly, explained Phil McIntosh, senior.
