Snowstorm brings vacation, Returning from the Christ- mas holidays, students even- tually adjust to the scholastic grind. Magazine staff mem- bers select a new name for their publication, substitut- ing Aufait for Royal None- such. More material of higher quality helps improve the lit- erary creation in its second year as the staff asks all to contribute. Semester end nears as earnest scholars be- gin their preparation for many gruelling hours. Snow brings an unexpected but wel- comed and relaxing vacation, postponing exams two days. January college boards pro- vide seniors with a second chance to better their test scores. Not letting up the rig- orous pace, exams begin. Temporarily released from hours of cramming, scream- ing spectators go wild at the Huguenot basketball game. A half-time score of 31-31 heightens the tension. With the crowd on their feet most of the last quarter, cagers gain a three point lead. A 69- 68 final tally clinches the Big Green’s first win of the year. Exams over, juniors order their class rings on January 26. Reed Schweikert, repre- sentative from Herff Jones, offers a newly designed ring with deeper etching for the Class of 1969. In addition, girls’ rings come in both the regular and miniature sizes. After the junior excite- ment lifts, senior pictures ar- rive. Full-color portraits in five selection plans delight even the particular student. Reed Schweikert measures Carol Sykora’s finger size for class ring. 22 School Life
