Christmas Time P.V.A. Band opened our Christmas program with various Christmas selections. Speech students then presented a “Charlie Brown Christmas” and the one act play “Pa Puts Up the Christmas Tree.” Pa, Jim Eckles, kept the story moving while Grandpa, Ronald Vining, seemed to slow things down. This was a fun assignment for the speech class and Snoopy, Dirk Lawhon. Our chorus entertained us with beautiful Christmas music. Most of the students seemed to enjoy Mr. Lively saying, “Merry Christmas, you are dismissed and I’ll see you next year” most of all. Kindergarten students observe National Smoke Out Week. Civics students planned and conducted a school Presidential election. Only 15 high school students failed to vote and 7 of these 15 were absent. Mr. Reagan was elected when he carried 112 of our 154 votes. 80

Just keep on smiling and maybe it will go away. 5. When the rain came, our Court members remained. Spartan Fever had taken control and they cheered with their very soul.

PI ay day P.V.A. sponsored its first playday for our students. Various relay races, sack races, tug-o-war, etc. were held for students from kindergarten through Junior High. One of the most popular events was the raw egg toss. The faculty organized and challenged the high school students to a softball game. The faculty had a taste of sweet victory. Jr. and Sr. High girls participated in a Powder Puff football game with the 7th grade boys serving as cheerleaders. The day began with a hamburger and hot dog lunch, which was prepared by members of our Parents Club. 81
