Fall Ad Board members concerned themselves primarily with constitutional revisions. Some of the issues related to the change were whether or not boys should be allowed to wear beards, qualifications for student body and class candidates, and the selection system for pom-pon girls and yell-leaders. In the fall semester student court consisted of nine members. During the spring, this number was reduced to seven. Student Court services the school by reviewing the many citations issued weekly by the Boards of Control, and acting on those accordingly.

Mark Reese makes his presidential acceptance speech Ben Garfinkle turns his office over to Lance Seely, spring financial secretary Officers Reflect Social Change Becky West, vice president introduced the entertainment for assemblies. Instead of reading minutes of the student meetings, Nineteen sixty-nine is a year of change, politically and socially. The students of AHS felt this change and elected spring officers to reflect their feelings. Under the leadership of Spring President Mark Reese, student body meetings took on new dimensions with such entertainment as soul bands, poetry readings, and contemporary plays. Students were encouraged to ask questions or offer suggestions for assembly entertainment by a new system of backstage communication The minutes of Ad Board meetings were read at the meetings with the hope of informing students of the behind the scenes workings.
