Big Bop, Bong Show Entertained audiences INDIVIDUALITY and involvement are the greatest assets that Anahi has to offer the student. With the conning of each new school year, new and better opportunities are introduced which enable students to become involved in some form of activity in which they can display their talents. Students en joyed the challenge to do their best and the satisfaction that came after winning a soccer match, the applause of the audience after a good perfor- mance, or knowing that what they had done will aid many needy families. Students found that no matter where their interests lay, there were always opportunities open. The athletically inclined often participated in either boys ' or girls ' athletics. Thespians, known for their talent in the fine arts, demonstrated their abilities in such presentations as The Prisoner of Second Avenue, The King and I, and The Bong Show. With the guidance of coaches, teachers, directors, firends, and parents, students were given the drive and incentive which enabled them to continue after losing a match, doing poorly on a fund raising project, or forgetting one ' s lines in a performance. te Heading Anaheim ' s most successful Salvation Army Canned Food Drive was the 1976- ' 77 student council. Over 25,000 canned and boxed goods were collected for ttie less fortunate families in Anaheim. Each homeroom class participated in the competition before Christmas. Charging downfield, Arturo Medina attempted to out maneuver his opponent on an offensive attack. Sophomore Victor Altomirano sprinted to the assistance of his teammate. Altomirano proved to be an important asset to the team ' s defensive unit as well as the offensive unit. INTRODUCTION

Pop ' s Malt Shoppe was the favorite rest stop for boppers at the annual Big Bop dance. iVlany seniors enjoyed modeling their parents ' clothes, reminiscent of the 1950 ' s, while others spent the entire evening bopping on the dance floor. Performing their famous feather-fan dance, Stacey Hollister and Cassia Miller caught the eye of many observers at Anaheim ' s first annual Bong Show. These young ladies were representative of some of the wild and exotic performances. 8 - INTRODUCTION wsmmmmfmrnmam

All-school activities made life interesting s 10 - INTRODUCTION ACTIVITIES dominated the Colony Calendar throughout the year. These campus events enabled students to escape from the everyday demands of the classroom and teacher. During Spirit Week Connies and Clems had the opportunity to crazily dress in costumes representative of that day, and each lunch period brought a new contest for Colonists to challenge themselves. The last event of the week was scheduled on the day of the Home- coming game. Jericho , Alabamy Bound , and We will fight for old AU echoed within the gym while shrill voices cheered and Colonists applauded for a victory against Western that night. The halftime activi- ties of the game were centered around the announcement of the Home- coming King and Queen, Stan Pimental and Laura Robinson. The follow- ing night, they were crowned at the colorful Homecoming dance. Although the final bell concluded class studies, Anaheim continued to thrive on its co-curricular activities after school. New events such as the Mardi Gras were placed on the calendar besides the traditional events, thus opening new fields of interest and a new area of learning. ««ff k. ' »f
