Christmas snow sets spirit hristmas cards picture Christmas morning with snow covered trees and snow in the air and snow on the ground. For once, our Christmas was taken from one of these cards. We woke up, not quite believ- ing in Santa Claus but still be- lieving in the magic of freshly- fallen, Christmas-morning snow. And it was wonderful because with the snow on the ground and in the air and on the trees, the Christmas-spirit which had eluded us, couldn't any longer, and we seized it and held on to it, all day long. We held on to it while we opened our presents and at Christmas dinner and fell asleep Christmas night - tired and hap- py and warm with the glow of Christmas.

Little things are nicest of all Students create Christmas magic hristmas is a time for giving, and this spirit was aptly demonstrated by the beautiful decorations in Ms. Underhill's classroom. The decora- tions were brought in and lovingly arranged by three of Ms. Underhill's juniors: lean Tracy, Lisa Tauriello, and Margie Vogelin. Talking with these girls, it can be seen that Christmas is important to themg they feel that decorations are an integral part of the celebration. It is also obvious that they chose to deco- rate for Ms. Underhill for a special reason. She's as much our friend as our teacher, said Lisa. Besides,,' Margie added, her room was really dull.
