■---Holidays Give A Kid Goosebumps Anticipating a holiday was only a part of actually celebrating it. Wondering if that “special” person would send a “special” Valentine brought goosebumps along with excitement. Thanksgiving festivities began with the fifth graders play, and on Halloween the elementary tra- ditionally dressed up in costumes and paraded through high school lunch. Halloween for some high school students meant a “toga” party Halloween night. On Valentine’s Day, the office was overflowing with balloons and flower arrangements to be sent to students. At Easter, el- ementary students went on Eas- ter Egg hunts at different places, and on Halloween the kindergar- ten searched for the perfect pumpkin in the pumpkin patch. A holiday could be anything from eating Thanksgiving dinner, trick-or-treating with your little brother, or searching for lost Eas- ter Eggs before the ants found them. No matter what the hol- iday consisted of, the days never seemed to last long enough. Culling and pasting lakes on new dimen- sions for a kindergartener as she designs Valentine hearts. Holidays 179

Pyramids and Palm Trees Help Egyptian Lovers “Rock on the Nile” “No school Friday!” The Jun- iors missed a whole day of school to decorate. Their excitement dwindled as Mrs. Woodward re- minded then they could still be counted tardy, if they were late. Maury Hodgens, Gil Chason, and Mary Katherine Gregory don’l waste a second of the music, despite the heat of the Swano Club. Pizza and doughnuts boosted spirits as the Juniors built pyr- amids, drew heiroglyphics and dressed their mummy. Putting palm trees together was tough- er than expected. The guys used a minature gold pyramid for a glove as they played base- ball. Miss Terrie and Mr. Larry Benedict provided helping hands while building the giant walk through pyramid at the entrance into the prom. After dinner at the Silver Slipper or Steak ‘n’ Ale, couples arrived all decked out to have their pictures taken in front of the pyramid. They rocked to the sounds of the Deejay from At- lanta. The side porch was a pop- ular escape from the watchful eye of chaperones and the heat. Students and their dates were treated to a breakfast at the Flournoy’s. By that time their at- tire had changed somewhat. The boys loosened their ties, and the girls shed pantyhose, shoes, and crinolines. The night ended early in the morning, but the magic didn’t. Visions of pyramids, palm trees, and a mummy helped students to still ‘Rock on the Nile’. Giving a palm tree the final trimmings. Angel Whidon and Jennifer Ammons add an air of the desert sands to the evening on the Nile. Cooling off on the porch, Tina Shephard. Tom Bauldree, Brad McCown, and Heidi Pickels catch their breath after hours of dancing to the beat of Egyptian Lover Assisting Amy Benedict, Jason Arnold, and Gil Chason in wrapping Mona the mummy , Mrs. Ford tears the sheets for a per ect fit.
