Pecice on Eorth December issued passports to fun and activity. Clubs and organizations turned toward aiding the underprivilegedg ex- pressing concern for their fellow man by providing food bas- kets for the needy. The Y-Teens carried their spirit of giving just a bit further. Each member adopted an orphan for a day, providing him with small gifts. The first annual Christmas Dance was held at Winfrey Point on Whiterock Lake. ' The Student Council's white flocked Christmas tree fes- tooned with red and blue bulbs was set in the cafeteria for everyone's enjoyment. Student Council also sponsored a door decoration contest. Miss Grace Mahaffy's homeroom took top honors in this contest. Special entertainment prepared for the holiday season in- cluded the choral presentation with a flag lowering ceremony plus a special band concert. The world saw the release of the Pueblo crew and watched the suspense-filled, historical six-day Apollo Moon flight through a highly advanced communications system. A summation of top hits in '68 listed The Vogues with My Special Angel and Diana Ross and the Supremes with Love Child. Funny Girl with Barbra Streisand as well as Bullitt starring Steve McQueen became popular motion pictures in December. 60

S.G. Reveals Celebrities After the holidays, SG was drawn into a tumult of excite- ment and activity sponsored by organizations and classes. The Art Club held a bake sale on January ll, to finance their planned excursion to Padre Island. Early in the month of Jan- uary the Belle of the year, Linda Beneke, was crowned during the Belle Ball. Quill and Scroll announced new members. Sen- iors ordered graduation invitations and began selling activity carcls. Annual happenings, the Colonel Ball and the Showboat, are not to be omitted. All 'the clubs contributed money and pooled their efforts in preparing for the Colonel Ball. On Jan- uary 30 and 31 various talents of SG were drawn into the limelight in the Showboat. The Sophomore Class sponsored a Twirp Dance which followed the Garland-South Garland bas- ketball game. January also brought semester exams. SG lost several teachers at mid-term including Mrs. Kaye Tip- ton Holland, who left to join her husband in Wichita Falls. Mrs. Holland's replacement, Mrs. Laura Downer, was soon caught fast in the flurry of work. Major headlines included the inauguration of President Rich- ard M. Nixon and the trials of Commander Lloyd Bucher, Sir- han B. Sirhan, and Clay Shaw. The Paris Peace Talks continued but little was accomplished. January was a good month for movies and records. Romeo and Juliet , The Impossible Years , and The Sergeant were successful as well as the tunes I'm Gonna Make You Love Me by Diana Ross and the Supremes and See Saw by Aretha Franklin. vi' 62
