Concentration is in the eyes of Candie Kendall as she makes sure everything is perfect in the parade drill. Precise timing and coordination is be- ing used by these girls as they twirl their rifles.

NOEL As in past years, students received a two-week vacation for the Christmas holiday. During De- cember, students anxiously awaited the onset of the holiday season. Dances, parades, get-to- gethers, and last minute Christmas shopping were all a part of many students’ extra-curricu- lar activities. The Tell City Christmas Parade was one of the high-lights of these activities. Sponsored by the downtown merchants, Cookie Monster, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa Claus all made their appearances. The day of the parade was a warm, sunny, pleasant day. But, despite the fact there was no snow, the atmosphere was filled with holiday spirit. Students marched in bands, rode on floats, or just walked along with the parade. “What happened to the snow? is what Frosty seems to be saying about the sunny day of the parade. All people, young and old, had their eyes focused on the Cookie Monster as he strolled down Main Street.
