reasured memories remembered as season approaches While at the Football Banquet December 16. Kcrr Henderson receives an award for being the Most Valuable Player during Sterling's football season. Photo by E. Ginn. It was that time of year when people got together to enjoy each other’s company and remember their treasured memories. It was the time when, for once, a person could put away his differences to show good will toward others. Yes, Christmas seemed to hold a special place in all our hearts. “I like the traditional things in Christmas, such as decorating the tree and wrapping and giving gifts, but I guess the part I enjoy most is the overall spirit of the season,” exclaimed Kim Fortune, senior. As Christmas ap- proached, many students were swept up in the spirit of the holidays. The Student Council organized a canned food drive on behalf of the less for- tunate in the Baytown area. Mr. Terry Ryals, sponsor, said, It gives you a good feeling to know that you are mak- ing someone else’s Christmas a little brighter.” In hopes of enlighten- ing the elderly. F.H.A. members made Christmas cards and delivered them to the Allenbrook Nursing Home. Pam Love, senior, stated, 'It was all worth it to see the smiles on those people’s faces.” Then there were those who looked at the holidays in a different light. Rafael Melendez, senior, said. Christmas is great because I can get out of school and out of Baytown!” Lori Pate, senior, said, I look for- ward to it because it’s the end of the year!” Like everything else, before we knew it, Christmas was over and we were preparing for the upcoming new year. Although some wished the holidays could last forever. Tom Adams, junior, exclaimed, Well, at least we can look forward to next Christmas!” “Do I real I) have to wear this? asks Don Wcaks as Robin Turner receives a boost from Joe Morin in order to straighten Don’s Santa hat.
