MANY A CHRISTMAS ROMANCE Attendant Cindy Peck insel, glitter, snowflakes, and queens highlighted another Christmas season for Wasson students. From a glimmering velvet carpeted stairway walked five Sno-ball queen candidates as they were presented to the student body in the annual Christmas sing as- sembly, December 17. The Social Committee selected Christy Belcher, Sandy Davis, Jayne Delashmutt, Judi Peake, and Cindy Peck as the Sno-ball candidates. The student body chose a queen from these five girls. The Christmas spirit and merriment continued as the theme, Somewhere My Love, was made a real- ity at the Sno-ball Dance held Saturday, December 21, amidst a winter snow. The Social Committee deco- rated the cafeteria in a Doctor Zhivago scene. The at- mosphere was one of ice, snow, and a vast winter wonderland. The queen's throne was draped with angel hair and twinkling lights. The back of the throne consisted of a large mirror, reflecting the Christmas atmospphere. The Living End provided the music for the semi-formal dance. Judi Peake was crowned the 1968 Sno-ball queen by her escort, Gary Barnes, at the climax of the eve- ning. Completing the holiday royalty were Christy Bel' cher, Sandy Davis, Jayne Delashmutt, and Cindy Peck escorted by Jim Bonner, Barry Stewart, Mike Rothe, and Rick Patterson respectively. The queen and her attendants were presented silver bracelets and long stemmed red roses commemorating the evening. Attendant Sandy Davis Attendant Attendant Jayne DeLashmutt Christy Belcher

The senior class withdrew their hall, A Christmas Carol, from competition, and the work ofthe sophomore class on their hall, Christmas Around the Neighborhood, was also appreciated.
