As snow blan- keTed The ground, cards and gifTs were exchanged beTween longTime friends or new acquainfances. IT seemed ThaT sTudenTs were more selecTive Than usual in choosing The gifTs They boughf for Their friends. lvlosT gifTs were simple Tokens of affecfion, such as candy, jewelry or cards, which goT The poinT across wiThouT being Too elaborafe or expressive. Emblem jackeTs were once again a popular gifT To sTudenTs from relaTives. These jackeTs were especially mean- ingful To Those who excelled in exTracurricular acTiviTies. The ChrisTmas aud was held The day before vacaTion To geT sTudenTs and Teachers in The holiday spiriT. The faculTy quarTeT sang The humorous song Ode To a Cabbage PaTch Doll. Then a Cappella sang and enacTed a favorife among sTudenTs, The Twelve Days of ChrisTmas. During This song, words were replaced by say- ings or Things common To Wesf High.
