Mr. Cleveland definite- touched his audience, leaving them We were given life | ae the thought fo enjoy Clean-up Day is an annual event at Southwest. This year, we had over thirty clubs participating. The cleaning began at the beginning of the activity period and lasted until the end. Each club had brooms, rakes, and garbage bags brought by its members. Each of the four buildings were cleaned thoroughly es Se Ww inside and out. The individual clubs were assigned sections of the campus, and they worked diligently until they were through. Most students found it easier to fill a garbage bag with tree limbs or pine straw than with bottle caps or bits of paper The day was perfect for cleaning. It was a little windy outside, but cool which put everyone in a better working mood. Every student and club advisor definitely did his her job in cleaning up By working together, the job was easily accomplished in the short amount of time provided, and the campus was left immaculate. Everyone agreed it was worth the hard work to have a cleaner school TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Keith Butler, winner of the American Education Week poster contest, displays anorher of his talents.

Spirit Fills SW Students at Christmas Twas the morning before the holidays and all through the school Everyone was thinking 2:30 will be here soon All day long the students were dreaming. Thinking of Christmas and presents seemed only natural. The Sophomores and Juniors presented presents to the nursing home and to the principals. As the chorus sang carols for the Sophomores, the students joined along and were caught up in the at- mosphere of Christmas. The band per- formed Silent Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem and many other carols for the Juniors and during both assemblies driving safety awards were given The Seniors thoroughly enjoyed their morning with a party first period where they were served doughnuts and cokes As the juke box played, the Seniors mill- ed around talking, dancing, and having a good time. During the Senior Assembly, the teachers performed the hilarious ‘Twelve Days of Christmas skit. André Jones read, ‘Twas the Morn- ing Before the Holidays’’ where Mrs. Washington was portrayed as Santa and several students as the reindeer She was dressed all in fur, from her head to her boots and her clothes were fragrant with the sweet smell of Brut She was beautiful and fine, a right jolly old elf “And we whistled when we saw her in spite of ourselves ‘She sprang to her Mustang, the key was turned “And away down Williamson Road rubber she did burn “But we heard her exclaim, when she drove out of sight ‘Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night TOP.
