Christmas Surprises Finally, Christmas vacation has arrived. The excitement has built and that famous Christmas spirit has spread. After a year of waiting for the shopping, the gifts, the parties, and the food the festivities are, at last, begun again. Christmas festivities covered a large variety of activities for everyone. Each person carried his own ideas of what the perfect Christmas holiday would be. For many of the girls this holiday was made special when they were chosen as a club representative and received the honor of riding in the local parades. For others, the hours of leisure time was the highlight, but for most the thought of all those presents was the major issue. Along with Christmas came contests and drawings. During the final days before Christmas vacation, clubs such as FHA held drawings for cakes and other Christmas items. Not all the contests were for tangible prizes, as Mr. Mark Cook found out. Mr. Cook has now become the reigning Miss Merry Christmas ofthe faculty. During the faculty Christmas party Mr. Cook was awarded his crown and his bouquet. With so many activities going on at once everyone seemed to b running in circles, the importanj thing to be remembered is Christ- mas comes only once a year, so w have the other 51 weeks a year tj rest. AND THE WINNER IS. Mr. Douglas Craig serves as Master of Ceremonies for the faculty Miss Merry Christmas Pageant. Mr Craig gives Miss Merry Christmas, Mr. Marl Cook his crown and other prizes that go witl his position. WW - f . , , .,,, ,, . .. , ..,,, , ,, , , ,,.,,,, , M L
