For most students, the holidays are a time that is longed for after the books begin piling up and headaches become more frequent.

For instance, at Christmas my Mom and I usual- ly spend time with relatives, and on Spring break we go skiing in Colorado. The holidays are spent much the same for junior, Page Hiller. I spend Thanksgiving with my relatives here in town and usually go skiing at Christmas, in Colorado. So, holidays are spent, by students, visiting relatives and ski- ing in Colorado.

The Thanksgiving and Christmas season brought projects like cann- ed food drives for the poor and the delivery of food to needy families. I think it's a caring, generous ac- tion when the church provides a more meaningful holiday season for the needy, remarked Nancy Dean, sophomore. However, a lighter side of religious activities also attracted a number of students. Many Southsiders enjoyed skiing excur- sions during spring break. For most youth groups, the Colorado slopes were the favorite snow spots. I feel that the people in my youth group tGrand Avenue Baptistl became closer during our ski trip to Crested .
