High School News
The tension was relieved on
Thursday, December 20th when
a skating party was held—hav-
ing finished the exams that
morning. Friday there was a dif-
ferent note in the air. We held
a party, with dancing and ex-
changing of gifts -a good way
to get in the Christmas mood.
Everyone had an exciting
time over the holidays and the
only complaint 'was, "They were
not long enough!"
We agreed that it was a
stroke of fortune that reports
were withheld till after Christ-
mas, and the holidays were all
the more enjoyable because of
it, but we had this hanging over
us to start back. The plunge
was taken last Thursday, and it
wasn't too bad after all. Now
everyone is back in the swing of
things with renewed vigour.
