Thoughts of autumn were soon forgotten as several inches of new snow blanketed our campus, giving us a white Thanksgiving. The snow, however, didn’t dampen the spirits of the Thanksgiving Fiesta. Sporting events that had been scheduled in advance took on new excitement when coupled with a snow covered athletic field. Among the guys, the Bible Institute slid to a victory over the School of Youth Ministries in the classic Turkey Bowl football game. The eirls took the field for their powderpuff “big ban” soccer match. The stronger Red team prevailed in that confrontation. Of course, the highlight of the day was the banquet itself. Nearly 900 people, composed of students, parents, family, and friends lined the tables in the fieldhouse to enjoy the long- awaited Thanksgiving Banquet. Guys and girls alike arrived dressed in their best, hoping to impress that special date. Food service and the chefs worked hard and saw their labor pay off as all enjoyed the fine cuisine. Added attractions were a turkey sculpture made of ice and a massive mound of fruit reaching to the ceiling of the dining hall. Of course, there was the Thanksgiving standard dessert, pumpkin pie. George Theis brought the message preceeded by vocal selections of various students. As the banquet closed, we all thought about the many blessings we have all received and paused to give the Lord our thanksgiving and praise. Truly the Thanksgiving Fiesta was a success ana provided many memories to cherish.
