A frequent visitor to this Web site recently wrote a comment in the Guest Book. "The holidays are upon us. Does anyone remember the homeroom door decorating contests held every December? Homerooms would decorate their hallway doors with a winter or holiday scene. Doors were first judged to determine a house winner; then the house winners were judged to determine the overall winner. It was a event to build homeroom spirit."This corner took a look at local newspaper archives and according to an article in The Junior Post section of The Bridgeport Post from Sunday, December 28, 1969, "Many of the (Andrew Warde High School) homerooms have decorated their doors in keeping with the holiday spirit.
"The ideas which they used were varied, and all turned out extremely well. Some especially noteworthy ones were B17, which pasted baby pictures of many of the students in the homeroom on a Christmas tree; M6, which portrayed a spaceship flying toward the star of Bethlehem and PEACE lettered below; S6, which made a Christmas tree made of curled construction paper and wished all passers-by "Season's Greetings"; and W6, which made a construction paper mosaic of the dove of peace."
