Students Relax, Ski At Semester Break Winter 1969-Rebels enthusiastically took part in the seasonal sports. Snow fights, ice skating, skiing and other win- ter pastimes consumed many of the weekend and after school hour of the T.H.S. students. Many hours were also spent as the drama and choir classes combined to present HThe Mikado , a Gilbert and Sul- livan musical comedy. The operetta which contained many colorful scenes and costumes was presented in the school au- ditorium with the music being provided by THS orchestra. This was the first time an operetta of this type was presented at Tascosa and the first in Amarillo in 18 years. Soon after the beginning of the winter season at Tascosa, students had to replace the enjoyable activities of the time with some less desirable ones. Hours were spent at the library as frantic Rebs tried to complete semester projects on time. Week nights were spent at home cramming for semester tests. At the end of the hectic week, Rebels again relaxed and headed to- ward Stanleyls for a talk with friends or packed and took off for the slopes at Red River or Ruidoso for a long exciting weekend of skiing. Over 40 members of the Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y took to skiing for the weekend also, as the students learned skiing or improved their skill.
