Celebrations cont from page 1 stricted in any way, regardless of what they are. No holiday should be made superior, but all should be recognized and respected." In addition to the many Christmas items, the Deans' Office and library display Channukah decorations. The goal of Mrs. Jacobsen, a librarian, is to represent all of the holidays. However, it is difficult to find decorations for some of the fests. Other efforts to achieve politically cor-
rectness have been made, such as the Christmas card exchange's name change to holiday card exchange. With students of varying faiths attending Maine South, it is often difficult to remain "safe" from the religious ideas that accompany several holidays occuring in winter. However, tolerance and respect will ensure that no one is misrepresented or left out, and that the holiday season is indeed, happy.
