Betty Mathews helps to decorate the SCA Christmas tree. Betty Lee adds the finishing touch to her homeroom door. Swinging Santa Saunters into TD Wreaths hung on the doors, stairways decked with holly, and a Christmas tree brightening the main hall — Christmas had come to Thomas Dale. The SCA spon- sored a Christmas Committee led by sophomores Peggy Karpus and Carmen Inge who also decorated the office and its doors. The Homeroom Door Decoration Con- test was judged later in the week by members of the Chester Garden Club, and prizes were awarded to Room 108 for the most religious door and to Room 201 for the most festive theme. December 22 marked the final day of classes before the holidays, and that night the Key Club sponsored the Christmas Dance with music provided by the Chan- tells.” The cafeteria was alive with the Christmas spirit as was everyone who attended. The climax of the even- ing was the introduction of Santa Claus on crutches portrayed by Bruce Whiting. 29
