There were many ' firsts ' at AC this year It was a year of firsts. Ander- son College experienced unique events and the beginning of a tra- dition. Spectators at the basketball games had to accustom their ears to the baritones of the cheering squad. Male cheerleaders were added this year to help the girls evoke spark and support from the crowd. A new tradition was established on campus when Debbie Mellard was crowned Anderson College ' s first Homecoming Queen. Activities and crowning took place during halftime of the Brevard and An- derson game. This first will be- come an anticipated, annual event for students during basketball season. The climax of our firsts came with the arrival of Miss America, 1972, Laurie Lea Schaefer to our campus. She spoke to the students and urged them to be more tolerant and good listeners as well as con- tributors. Before leaving to partic- ipate in other engagements, Miss Schaefer stated, With a goal, hard work, and determination, you can make your own dreams come true Anderson College students took these words to heart and are prov- ing them true. We have set our goals; and through hard work and determination, our dreams are be- coming realities; our realities are molding our lives; and our lives are influencing a nation. Mal e cheerleaders appeared on campus for the first time at Anderson College. Vice-President Maddox crowns Debbie Mellard first Homecoming Queen.
