Cherished Timo it brings us closet to a holiday of sharing. A holiday is something one describes and cherishes in many different ways. Al- most always, it brings a special warmth and glow to all those it surrounds. Of all holidays, Christmas brings with it a certain sharing feeling. Melanie Gailunas ob- served, lt was great to be with the family over vacation. Many felt this way: sharing traditions, exchanging gifts, and remem- bering the importance of the day brought happiness to students and families. Vaca- tions were an added attraction to the holi- day seasons. They gave students a chance to spend time with those people who meant so much, or to share with newly- found friends. The holidays also gave many girls the time to really relax. Maria Crulisano received a wonderful Christmas gift. We woke up Christmas morning, ready to take domm our stockings and out fell the tickets to the Bahamas! lt was a great experience being in a place where the cultures were so different. l would have loved to stay longer to see all I didn't get to in such a short time. The holidays were great for me this year! Plot everyone had such excitement or change in their routine, but the holidays were remembered no mat- ter how one spent them.

Preparations had all been made: dresses bought, hair made perfect, make-up donejust right. It was al- most 6:.'5O p.m and everyone was ready to leave for the annual Fall Dance. The even- ing, held at Restland Farms, started off with a chicken dinner. What followed was a night ofdancing and fun. Some girls took a very special friend, while others went with a boyfriend. Most of the revellers enjoyed their evening thoroughly. I loved getting dressed up, said Maureen Mclieon. 'tlt was a fantastic night spent with friends. Debbie Holik enthusiastically agreed: I had a terrific time! Senior Holly Brandt thought Hit was a nice idea that 'Last Dance' by Donna Summer was played for the seniors, though it was also very sad. The music selection was good, and easy to dance to. For some, the Fall Dance was an excit- ing, but frightening new experience. t'For my first semi-formal dance, it was great! l really didn't know what to expect but ever- ything turned out fine, explained Moira Pascale. According to most of those who attended the dance, it had been a great success. The dancing, music, and laughter were still remembered weeks after the evening had ended.
