Vacation Starts Early As Flu Epidemic Hits Stained glass windows, colorful bulletin boards, Christmas trees and blazing fireplaces adorned the halls of Big Red as Christmas and winter vacation approached. However, because the I-long Kong flu took its toll of teachers and students throughout the school system, classes were dismissed one day earlier than scheduled. Most students and teachers accepted the extra day of relaxation joyfully. Weeks before, the spirit of Christmas was sensed throughout the halls. Bells for Peace, sold by AFS, hung on classroom doors, while clubs held parties. Colorful bulletin boards adorned the office and classrooms, all symbolizing Christmas. Pausing to look at the office bulletin board are Mr. Lyons, new vice-principal, and Mr. Sheffield, counselor. Religious tranquility overpowers Social Hall as the fading sun dows, reminding students and teachers of the story of the projects distorted shadows through the stained-glass Win' Nativity and the birth of Christ.
