This past year when the holi- day spirit was near, the students and faculty celebrated in many exciting ways. When the time came for ghosts and goblins to roam the halls, teachers deco- rated their rooms with pump- kins and skeletons while the students helped by doing the same to the rest of the school. The students also celebrated this event by having parties, such as the Foreign Language Club party at a member's barn. Then, the time for giving en- tered the atmosphere. Students showed their spirit of this holi- day by giving food to the needy. Mrs. Compton's class even cooked a Thanksgiving dinner for the faculty during both lunch periods. After this special holiday became the past, the most spirited holiday of the year came, Christmas. The faculty and students expressed their spirit of this holiday by giving and re ceiving gifts. Then Christ- mas break came and parties began to form everywhere for people who wanted to have a part in the holiday spirit. Fi- nally, the most celebrated holi- day of the year came, Valen- CELEBRATE coop times tine’s Day. Students began to send love notes to one another and to get better acquainted. The Student Council sold car- nations to these people who wanted to convey their feelings to someone else, and the Na- tional Honor Society sold chocolate-covered pretzels shaped as hearts to join in on the spirit. After these special days were gone, the students were left with memories to talk about and hopes that next year’s holidays will be even better.

Tests Unlimited COPS, DATS, SATS sounds like something from the mouth of a two year old. Actually, they are abbreviations of tests that Wilson students’ take throughout their high school years. To prepare for some of these tests some stay up all night and get little sleep. For the four hour tests, like the SATS, some would go to bed early and get a good night sleep. These tests give the students a “‘sense of direction” towards their fu- 18 Tests ture careers. When asked about tests, the PSATS for example, many sophomores and juniors replied that if they had a second chance they would do the following: 1. LISTEN MORE INTENSELY 2. STAY AWAKE IN CLASS 3.
