Senior Cnri3tma3 Party December 23, 1947, the last school day before Christmas, was a welcome day to all of us. Were we not going to have two weeks of vacation? We came to school that morning with plenty of excitement, for two reasons—One, to find who had drawn our name and would give us a gift, and the other, tc see which room would win the prize for the best-decorated room. When the bell rang we all went to the auditorium to sing Christmas carols. Then Mr. Harper kept us in suspense while reading out the winners of the best¬ decorated rooms in the grade school and the high school. At last he finished reading the decision of the judges. We answered with a yell, for we were the high school winners. Then back to the library to make merry, to open our gifts, to eat, sing, and have our picture taken in front of the Christmas tree. Then it was time to go home. The decorations were all pulled down, the trimmings removed from the tree, and with our gifts and candy canes we made our usual dash for the bus. There was a tone of sadness through it all. This was our last Christmas together as the Class of ' 48. {341
