Christmas Assembly 1997 At Saint James
Lucas was a senior when we got to use the new gym for the Christmas Assembly the first time. As usual everybody was hyped up for the Christmas holidays and at Saint James it always began with the Assembly and the afternoon off. Somehow the Seniors always sang “Five Golden rings” when the school sang the “Partridge in a Pear Tree” song. As we were filling into the gym that day.. someone walked up to me with a whole Santa hat and face on not just the hat like most of the people. He walked up, looked me right in the eye and said “Ho …Ho ….Ho. Merrrrry Christmas!!” and walked off. I could not figure out who it was and kept asking everyone who was that. I watched and the Santa sat in the middle of the Seniors and soon took off his face and hat… of course, it was Lucas!! I just kept saying to myself and everyone “I can’t believe I didn’t know who it was!” Here he is leading the seniors that day with “Five Golden Rings” at the top of his lungs and his big smile. I love you, Lucas.
