 AFTER A LONG SUMMER, registration caused rusty brains to begin functioning once again. Cblti Up t pXPJpOJib SOpUnOteS Cutij upp idlMShi H tii tjfeCW Sophomore orientation was originated to avoid the usual first week of utter confusion experienced by most sophomores. Prospective students gathered a few days before school started and as in the past, Mr. Adams officially welcomed them, students met counselors, and sophomore cheersquad was chosen. Upperclassmen took them in groups to tour the school and they were able to discover where their class- rooms were. Because the weather was cooperative, the assembly was held outside. Registration took place a week before school started with each class coming on a separate day to register and receive schedules. Unnerving to many was collection of towel fees for the first time in this building. 16

Homecoming '65-'66 was success- fully launched at a morning assem- bly after many hours of committee planning headed by Nancy Yang and Merrill Anderson. As master of ceremonies, Merrill introduced Mr. Kenny Wells, Secretary of the Iowa Education Association and former coach at AHS, as guest speaker. Mr. Adams presented the Spirit Jug and Pep Club provided an appropriate skit which was ended by Coach Spatcher leading a horse that car- ried two vanquished Roosevelt Rough Riders. The assembly was cli- maxed by the long-awaited an- nouncement of Homecoming Queen. Queen Debbie Politis and her at- tendants, Marcia Frigaard and Sandy Spatcher, officially began their reign over the Homecoming festivities. A police-escorted caravan to the high school was the final activity of the morning. HOMECOMING QUEEN CANDIDATES: Muriel Foreman, Sandy Spatcher, Mary Thompson, Jane Peterson, Sara Beals, Dee Gilreath, Kathy Cooper, and Marcia Frigaard. (Not pictured is Debbie Politis.) 18
