“‘Do you think he’s going to come down that chimney?” asks John Johnson. Time Out bs The first assembly dealt with the orientation of the entire student body to the rules and regulations of the campus. Clubs had their say so in the recruiting of new member as well as to spur the interest of old members. Assistant Principal Forrest Jones gave his views on the rules of the school and Dean of Students Carter Elliott said not to miss many days for fear of his wrath. Freshmen were awarded with their own personal assembly to tell them where to go when they needed assistance. The magazine sale put pep i n the lives of the sales-oriented students. Students got first hand experience in the selling of magazines, and got recognition and prizes for their dedication. The classes also were helped by the magazine drive because for every subscription sold, one dollar was received by the class treasury of the salesman. As the Christmas season came around, the SCA and the SAM members jointly sponsored a Christmas program. The band and the chorus each gave an excellent performance of Yule Music. After the performances of the cultural departments, a satirical version of ‘‘The Night Before Christmas” was given. There was a special appearance of Santa and his eight tiny reindeer led by Rudolph (played by the faculty). Everyone had a great time, and by the end of the assembly, the whole student body was rocking to the joy of the holiday season. hi te il el’ Bi ein Rn ——= a lo The reindeer, played by a few of Rustburg’s faculty, watch intently as Santa Claus The Christmas tree in the abe lobby | fills the stockings. gave the student body a sense of joy and happiness. ; 26 Student Life

There was an atmosphere in the air that seemed electrified. The tension was in- tensified ten-fold the night before the game when an eleven foot tall stack of wood provided by the Winebarger Furni- ture Co., was set aflame. Never before had a pep rally been so successful. The thirty foot inferno instilled in the players and student body the urge to bring home a victory, something that had not been done against Brookville in a long time.
