Dear Santa from A to Z letter from MHS sophomores
A lighthearted school assignment results in a contrived alphabetic letter to Santa. Student Ben Allen and peers request a 1972-442 Olds with white vinyl top, full gas, and new holiday perks such as longer weekends, more frequent breaks, red pencils, and better coffee breaks for grading. They ask for teacher leniency, extra nerve pills for Coach Seals, and Christmas wishes. The missive playfully invokes a sequence of A to Z lines while ending with festive goodwill.
