JOHN GURNEY: "I would wish for world peace. Today we live under the shadow of the hydrogen and atomic bombs, guided missiles and other weapons of war. If there were world peace, there would be no need for these weapons."
MIKE BORN: "I would want to be able to see into my future and into the world's future."
MIKE RITZMAN: "I would wish to have United States and Russia become friends so we could stop thinking about fighting and really enjoy Christmas."
PENNY GARAPIC: "A diswasher, because I have to do all the dishes around our house."
DEEDRA DICKENSON: "I would wish for health for our family for years to come."
APRIL MACDONALD: "I wish I had enough money to buy every poor family something to make their Christmas bright."
STEVE WOLF: "I would wish to have the Vanguard rocket and the Satellite launched successfully."
SANDY MILLER: "I would wish to take a world trip so I could see all the countries I have been studying."
SANDRA BOURQUE: "I want two front teeth, because mine are chipped."
PAT FIEDLER: "I want a white Persian cat."
SHERYL LAMPE: "A boy."

   Each year Glenridge students send some Christmas remembrance to the patients in the Winter Park Hospital. This year the ninth grade Tri-Hi-Y decorated eggs and small trees for bedside arrangements.
   Mrs. Ray Green met with the girls on December 10 to show them how to create the arrangements.

I can't wait till
    Christmas Day
It is always bright and
     gay
Everything is in a
     tizzy,
Opening presents keeps
    you busy
Sue with her doll, Tom
    with his gun.
Everybody has such fun.
As you go to bed
    that night
Nothing is wrong, every-
    thing's right
You think of that
  wonderful Christmas Day
As you fall asleep and
    dream away.

Toni Bernstein

Christmas is coming, hurray, hurray!
Santa's on his way.
Christmas is coming, Hurray, hurray!
It's almost Christmas Day!

With lots of joy and carols to sing.
And toys and presents and everything.
Christmas is coming, hurray, hurray!
It's almost Christmas Day!

When I think of Christmas
I think of angels singing with praise
All through the wonderful Christmas Days.

When I think of Christmas
I think of joy,
Then I think of that
Wonderful Savior Boy.

When I think of Christmas
I think of love.
Then I think of that
Happiness from above.

JULIE MAYER: "It means a holiday from school, presents, but most of all the celebration of Christ's birth."
JACKIE BILLINGHAM: "Vacation from school and all my loving teachers."
MRS. BRIDGES: "Two weeks of being home enjoying the spirit of Christmas with my family."
SHARON SINDAD: "The time of year when everyone is gay. A time of family get togethers."
JOHN GURNEY: "It means hustle and bustle of shopping. People with red noses and pink ears struggling with big packages. It means a time of happiness and love, when people forget hatred and fighting. It means singing, and excitement."
LINDA SCHAUER: "I think of Christmas parade, Santa Clause, carols, and happy faces. I think of what Christmas really means - the birth of Christ. I think of the beautiful decorations that go with Christmas."
We listen quietly and obey
To hear what happened on that day.
The shepherds woke to a strange sight
The wise men traveled through the night,
Led by a star to the stable door
Our Baby Jesus to adore.
