"Tis the season to be
jolly!" may be true but, there
ha're not been many jolly
souls romping about CHSS
this week but rather half
asleep, inactive students who
only gain energy once that
dreaded test paper is set
down before .them.
One would think they would
be jolly after 'their exambut
they only groan "I could kick
myself for being so stupid. 1
did that whole question
wrong.'
Thenthey drag books out of
their lockers to'' study for the
next exam. Tomorrow night
though, these. sa me half dead
students will become those
jolly energetic souls of the'
season and our burden of
exaths will shift on to our
teachers.

was quite evident than a
lot of preparation and thought
Went into the -assembly. M:C,
was: Dave Haley. our very
owls "Bob, Barker" who
prsided over the (to say the
least) lively goings-on of
"Truth or Consequences" at
H,M.
Of course it was always the
latter, and consequences left
no from for mercy or s,oft-
nesal Three couples were
brought 'on stage, "given a
German phrase and told to
act it ..out using the "ap-
paratus" - a bowl of Jello,
What. of course they didn'ttx
know was that the phrase
meant "Give the a kiss' .My,
how those folks misin-
terpreted.
But what made it funny was
that we knew. Which leads
me to something that's been
bothering me: In the past four
years, where in the devil have
they been hiding a "sound-
proof" room backstage?
Hum ,.. sounds suspicious.
At any rate, : more con-
sequences were handed out.
People were being trodden on
(in more ways than one) by a
strange looking horse, weird -
looking "fairies" were
popping up here and there,
and at one point. Ruth
Colciough had a dozen people
going through the most
painful gyrations on stage!
Perhaps the mast
humorous skit was the
"initiation" of three in-
nocents ' into the "Ougah-
Boogah" Tribe? A tribunal
consisting of Sue Tyndall,
Doug Riehl and Brian Lobb
made sure that the initiatees
were thoroughly "doused" so
to speak, with the whole idea.
However, the main in-
stigator. Sue Tyndall, had the
tables (or should I say
"chair") turned on her. At
any rate, I'm sure the
laughter could have been
heard from quite a distance
after that skit was finished.
We were then treated to a
biography of Howdy -Doody.

The moment for which
everyone had been waiting
was of course, Santa+s
arrival. We were told that his
lateness was due to trotittie
encountered with: the CKNX
tower in. Wing'ktacn. as well as
a traffic cop inBlyth.
Both problems were salved,
and Santa, minus one G.1. Joe
"Super Cop•. doll. arrived
finally at CHSS. Some letters
were answered. For example
Mr. Reidy. Mrs. Weary and
Mr. James all got presents
which Santa knew they would
treasure and use (with the
possible exception of Mrs.
Weary's present!).
Mr. Ludwig jogged up. to
Santa to receive his Central
