I I Ill was truly living. Going to Anderson presented students with a rare opportunity to learn in the midst of nature and beauty, in the days when the environment was un- ceasingly being destroyed by a technological world. We could ride our bikes, coasting down the rolling hills in spacious wooded areas. Appropriately, nearly all streets were named after a certain mountain, hill or tree. Life up in the hills was full of exciting experiences - at Anderson, things were happening for the very first time. There were new people to meet, im- portant decisions to make, many things to be done. And the challenges that students had to face with the be- ginning of Anderson taught them more about life, more about living in the hills.

The lack of practice fields for workouts sent students to various schools in the are Trojan Belles and the band made their daily trip to Murchison Jr. High while the footb team made use of the grassy fields of Pillow Elementary. Yes busses were prevelent this year because everybody got bussed. N ,, t , t L. in X Y ' Y tal 2 The combination of Lanierjuniors and lVlcCallum juniors resulted in a more or less unorganized senior class. Right away officers were chosen and plans were made for an eventful semester. Activities included a horror film festival, participation in the Newcoming parade, and the design of the graduation invitations, Seniors won several awards first semester, including the spirit jug at the first pep rally and the first place award in the float contest for Newcoming week. The time came for new officers to be elected. Ken Loyd chose not to run for re-election but urged the class to give more support to the second semester president. Carol Woodyard, vice-presidential candidate. then gave her plea for seniors to get involved to make the senior class active. These speeches apparently did the job, as many seniors did get involved. Second semester started under the new management of Duke l-luston, president, and money for the end-of-the-year plans was the main ob- jective. Valentine suckers were seen in everyones mouth as the result of senior salesmanship and pressure. Two car washes were held as quick fund-raising projects and hats were worn to distinguish the seniors from the other classes.
