Energy devoted toward practice Dedication, practice, and hard work were again prevalent at Anaheim High in 1981. The active Mozart Choir had numerous activities to raise funds for their outfits, and their excitmg trip to Hawaii in the spring. They also devoted many hours to practicing which made them a fine choral group. The Colonettes in their second year of exis- tence started practice in the summer so that they might represent Anaheim well. They encouraged spirit, pride, traditions and again arranged pep as- semblies for the returning and incoming Colonists. The Colony football squad began practice and conditioning in the spring of 1980. They spent long, tiresome hours preparing to vie for the Freeway League championship. The Vintage yearbook staff devoted much time and service to finishing another memorable yearbook. Drama students practiced many hours in preparation for their fine productions. The Colonist band woke up early to practice during the cold, blustry mornings on the athletic field in preparation for competitions and performances. This was also true of the banner and flag girls. Great dedication was displayed by the academi- cally inclined students working diligently toward educational goals that will determine their future lives. The Anaheim Student Council was actively engaged in planning events. So, the students at Anaheim were again the dedicated people in ' 81. lNTR0DUCT10 -9

Anahi traditions fired up Colony Anaheim traditions have been the platform that Colonists build their reputation on and more impor- tantly, what keep alumni coming back year after year. Every Colonist, new and old, were proud to see old traditions living on and practiced with such great enthusiasm. Out Alma Mater was a way for the Colony to really feel the pride that was in the atmosphere. Busses were a way for the football players to make sacrifices for their team and show true dedication. Coach Stalhut gave his speeches at pep assemblies that raised the Colonist spirit that knows no lim- it. Once again, Anaheim kept the bell after taking a win against Western ' s football team. Underclass- men that were caught stepping on the Anaheim Union High School seal in main building, had to suffer the consequences of scrubbing it until it was completely spotless. Seniors united together after school before the Saddleback game to paint the stadium a proud blue and gold ' 81! Something that many Colonists didn ' t get a chance to see were the decorations in the team room that the Colonettes displayed before each of Anahi ' s football games. 1. Wilh thesupport of Anaheim ' s Campus Improvement Fund, a group of .seniors worked together to restore Clayes ' Stadium by painting the class of ' 81. 2. A favorite moment during pep assemblies was when the students devoted their attention to Coach Stalhut as he gave Lips and inspi- rational speeches. .3. Pride and devotion were shared among the Colonettes and football team as they traditionally recited our Alma Mater to the accompani- ment of the band. 4. For the first time. Coach Stalhut didn ' t make buzzes a manditory requirement for football. But the tradition lives on as the team did it voluntarily. .5. Paying the price of walking over the Anaheim seal. Rod Rentz and Marlcn Gonzalez scrubbed it clean while seniors discovered the prive- lege of supervising. 6. For SIX years. Anaheim has kept the victory bell from the Western pioneers. The Colonettes enjoyed ringing the bell for the Colony fans at the game ' s end. INTRODUCTION-]!
