Preparation for Midterm Exams P ,7 lm'- '4? Despite cold and wet conditions, Sam Houston students proceeded with activities traditional to the winter season. After returning from Thanksgiving holidays, Cherokees began making plans for yuletide festivities. Added to the merry-making were socials such as a Christmas party given for CHEROKEE and RAVEN staffers and the Christmas Con- cert and Jingle Bell Ball, sponsored by the Cherokee Band. Projects, ranging from a door-decorating contest to a collection of clothing and canned food for unfortunate families, were sponsored by the Student Council. Though Christmas holidays provided a respite from studies, SI-ler's found semester finals with late hours of cramming a replacement for holiday gaiety. Christmas vacation was followed by the Student Coun- cil's annual Talent Show in which Sam Houstonites and students from surrounding schools competed for trophies. With finals safely behind them, Cherokees eagerly anticipated rodeo days with everyone turning cowboy for a week. February set the stage for the senior play, I Remem- ber Mama, in which seniors made a last bid for dramatic recognition. February also provided braves and maidens an opportunity to exchange the familiar heart-shaped box of Valentine candy.
