Fun Can Be Rewarding And Enjoyable Fun—something you enjoy. In high school, fun could be going out with your friends, cutting up in class, or attending football and basketball games to cheer and scream for your favorite team. Pep rallies, to let you get out of the routine of classes and to re- lease energy, are common during the sports season. This years Mr. and Mrs. Leggs contest, the Blue Belles' new punk rock dance to Devo, and the appearance of Lt. Gov. Nancy Stevenson all high- lighted these assemblies. But the assemblies also were to introduce the football players, basketball team, the new Student Council officers, cheerleaders, the new band director, and much more. But a new means of letting energy out was formed this year. Those intelligent students who enjoy challenging other students from other schools are involved in an academic team. This newly formed team, consisting of eight students, participated in quizzes and appeared on television. Sponsored by Mrs. Janet Francis, these students drilled on all aca- demic areas two days a week and won many rounds when going against their opponents. The group was on the Winthrop Col- lege statewide competition on T. V. and added to Dorman’s repu- tation as a fine school producing a good educated student body. Fun can be rewarding. On (he Student Council installation day, the students were honored to be greeted by Lt. Gov. Nancy Stevenson During a pep rally, cheerleaders introduced the candidates for the new Leggs contest.

Making Spirits Bright Christmas, the birthday of Jesus, is a time of love, happiness, and, of course, the ever-popular tradition of exchanging gifts. It is also one of our most beautiful holidays. Lights and decorations seem to be every- where. Stores are crowded with people buying gifts. Houses are filled with excitement as families trim the Christmas tree and hang up their stockings. Then, there are the restless children who cannot sleep as they anxiously await the arrival of Santa Claus. They final- ly fall asleep with happy thoughts of reindeer landing on rooftops. In the morning, when they wake up, there is a look of amazement on their faces when they see what Santa brought. The clock at Mainstreet Mall Is illuminated by Christmas lights Santa’s helpers seem to be working hard at Westgate Mall CHRISTMAS 27
