Have yon decided on that ipfria*
dish for Thanksgiving dinner? I
have-macaroni and cheeas.
I was told by my future mmlip-
in-law to fix macaroni and cheese.
You should have heard my sigh of
relief. Macaroni and cheese! I can
harxHe that. It's my specialty, right
next to hot dogs. .
I'm no cook, not unless it comes
put of a box or can. I think I get
that from my mother.
Here's a good dish. Not as good
as hot dogs, ni admit"
Scalloped Sweet Potatoes
with Streusel Toppiag
1 cup Pioneer Biscuit & Baking
Mix
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup cold butler or margarine
1 can (40 oz.) sweet potatoes or
yams, drained
1 cup dairy sour cream
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup pecan pieces
In medium bowl, stir together
baking mix and 1/2 cup brown
sugar, cut in butter (using a food
processor, pastry blender or your
fingers) until crumbly. Put half of
the crumbs (about 1 cup) in a
greased 8x8-inch baking dish; re-
serve remaining crumbs. Slice
sweet potatoes and place in a layer
over crumbs. In small bowl, stir
together sour cream and 1/4 cup
brown sugar, spoon over sweet
potatoes. Stir pecans into reserved
crumbs; sprinkle over lop. Bake on
top oven rack at 375 degrees for 20
to 25 minutes or until streusel top-
ping is golden brown. Makes 6 to 8
servings.
Sounds easy enough! I may go
home and try iL
I love the smell of turkey and
dressing cooking in the oven -
dressing smothered with giblet
gravy. Then I like to eat it again
during the Christinas holidays.
Are you ready for Christmas? I
sure am. I've even got my Christ-
mas tree already up. Don't laugh. I
know I’ve pul it up much too early,
but this way we, the Snake and I,
don't have to put it up when we get
back from the hooeymoon. We're
extremely busy right now. Only
two weeks and one day left now. I
don't have my veil and bouquet
made yet!Tve got to get busy.
It's been lots of fun planning a
holiday wedding. There are so many
PM (fautty
ideas and decorations to choose
from. Who else out there is plan-
ning a December wedding? Isn't it
fun?
Tune is winding down. We keep
asking ourselves if we're ever going
to be able to have a wedding and
Christmas, too.
Have you done your Christmas
shopping? I should have been smart
and started early - say, in January.
Don't you agree?
Lessons devoted
to anti-drug movement
teenagers to travel abroad. "People
who visit other countries learn lan-
guages and develop skills for future
careen," says Rodriguez. Tor my-
self, knowing another language will
open many doors for me. When 1
return to Venezuela in June, I will
always remember that there were
lots of people in America who cared
about me and helped me learn
things to achieve my goals."

During Red Ribbon Week the
studdhts were involved in various
theme days. During "Kick Off Day"
students wore red and boots to kick
off Red Ribbon Week. Students
wore crazy socks in order to sock it
to drugs during "Sock Day." During
"Cap Day," students wore caps and
hats 19 put a cap on drugs. Students
wore their favorite vacation t-shirt
during "Vacation T-shirt Day” so
'-they could take a vacation away
from drugs, and students combined
any or all of the above activities
during "Combination Day" in order
to have fun without drugs.
A daily drawing was held and the
students who participated in the
"theme of the day" had an opportu-
nity to win.
In conjunction with Red Ribbon
Week, the school had red paper
chains displayed in the hallways and
in the room. The chains were used
as a symbol to "chain out drugs
from the school." Students also
signed a "Count on Me to be Drug
Free” banner, which was displayed
in the hall.
Sidney Green, counselor of Liv-
ingston Intermediate School, spoke
to the P.E. classes as a part of Red
Ribbon Week activities at the
school. He described a peaceful
school as one in which students and
faculty were able to focus on the
task of education without the dis-
traction caused by violence, from
minor to major.
Green announced the development
of a contest to name the Peace
Maker of the Month at the school.
The contest, which started on Nov.
3, seeks to find and reward students,
faculty and staff for efforts at pro-
moting a peaceful environment.
The counselor taught students
some of the characteristics of Peace
Maker. Characteristics include: car-
ing for self and others, flexibility,
patience, creativity and awareness of
feelings. He also explained how to
use these in order to promote a
peaceful school.
Beginning in December, the
school will have a 10-week life
management program presented by
the Drug Abuse Council qf Deep
East Texas. The Campus Assis-
tance Prevention Program was cre-
ated as a result of a grant from (he
Drug Abuse Council to enhance nnd
create skills useful in preventing
unhealthy behaviors and children
and youth.
The program seeks to increase
self-awareness, improve self-worth,
increase positive social attitudes,
increase understanding of the harm-
ful effects of alcohol, tobacco, and
other drug use, and increase the
sense of purpose for the future.
