Although some students think they have outgrown Halloween, they still get caught roaming the neighborhoods scaring trick or treaters, or at area haunted houses sponsored by radio stations. I went out with a friend of mine for Halloween and we also ran around and stopped to see what some of our friends were up to, said junior, Rene Miner. 4 Holidays . , is 5. M VWVL-Av i tletoe Every year theylre right on schedule. The airlines are booked, shopping malls decorated, grocery stores chaotic, nothing can hurry or delay their arrival. Theylre the holidays. From Halloween spoohs to Christmas, holidays make up for long days. Celebrating the family way is common. g'For Thanksgiving, we usually get all of our relatives together at our house, and we eat, said senior, Sharla Kendall. After we eat, the guys usually watch the football game and the girls sit around and talk, she said. Lists of presents are made for the most popular holiday, Christmas. My family usually spends Christmas together, opens our presents from each other, then goes to grandma's house for dinner and to see other relatives and open more presents, Stephanie Seefeldt, sophomore, said. Another special and favorite holiday is Valentine's Day. This day can be spent with parents or other loved ones. Although all holidays are celebrated in different ways they have special meaning to students, if only because school lets out for them.

he same podium has been here for Ellie several years now. It was already messed liz.. up with writing engraved on it. Then ...il my students started doing the same ' cliff' thing. The kids use it for leaving their mark. They would leave notes to their friends and messages to me. I really found it amusing. jason Word, junior, kept telling me that he was going to take it home and sand it, I really didnlt think he would do it and then one day after school I was out ofthe room and came back to jhnd that my podium had been taken apart, with the desk part removed. The next day, jason brought it in all sanded clean. I just hope it stays that way now. Mrs. Linda Bowling OICS. junior, jason Word, takes a break from writ- ing notes on Mrs. Linda Bowling's podium so he could take it home and sand it clean. Students in her French classes used it for note writing. Photo by johnny Taylor 6 Misspelled
