During this American Education Week observance, classroom doors were thrown wide open as parents became better acquainted with Rebel curriculum, instructors and school life. Night time jaunts to school seemed only routine to many Rebel fans as the drama department of- fered three backstage productions and other school groups maintained their now organized schedules of monthly meetings. Rebel life was also becoming routine for Irene Lie, foreign exchange student from Indonesia, and the 2200 other Rebs who entered Tascosa only two months before. The swelling pride felt in every Rebel's heart at the annual presentation of Miss Southern Belle- the now certain feeling all newcomers had that they, too, were Rebels-the restlessness of the entire student body at the anticipation of the Thanksgiv- ing holidays-this was November, 1967.

Crystal Ball And Boys' Ranch Assembly Highlight December Holiday Activities J. E. FERGASON PRESENTS Tascosa's annual Christmas check to a representative from Boys' Ranch. A PAY ASSEMBLY featuring the Renaissance was one of the many money-raising campaigns for the Boys' Ranch Fund. December-a month glistening with activities, changed quickly as the weather turned from sunny days to snowy nights and mornings back to sunny days again. December was a month of giving. Rebs worked to give their Country Cousins a check for 353089. Tascosa's five choirs gifted groups through- out the city with vocal presentations and students spent hours of their busy pre-Christmastime pre- paring for the Crystal Ball. Dec. 16, the night of the Crystal Ball, made mem- ories for all who attended. Over 1,000 students felt the overwhelming beauty of the decorated Commons which had taken on a party air. Paper cutters, stap- lers, unused crepe paper and paint brushes had been whisked out of view leaving only the panoramic vision of Crystal Night. The magical View was ex- panded as the presentation began and each class favorite couple and Mr. and Miss Tascosa was named. Dec. 16 was a night that made memories for all. Following the Crystal Ball were two weeks of vacation which were busied by many with pre- Christmas jobs. Parties and casual get-togethers warmed the chilled air with an unusual kind of friendliness and cheer. As the third month of school and the twelfth month of the year came to a close, resolutions were made and experiences were remembered about that magical month-December. 1 5 4 ,V ',f '
