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 '
