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.

Nothing exemplifies Trojan spirit more than this swishing mass of blue and gold om om . D D s A multi-exposure summarizes the inner-feelings of many Anderso tes at this, their first look at a hopeful football season. Making her first sale, Lori Scott proudly displays, The First Edition to inquisi- tive Steven Crayton and Michael Jackson, A lack of uniforms provesto be no hardship on Blue, Gold Girls as spirit abounds at the Beeville game. settling Although the school year officially started on August 27, the real revelation was three weeks later on Friday, September 14. It may have been the beginning of some- thing great. Along with the joys of a Friday came the debut of the Anderson football team, the Blue and Gold Girls, the band the cheerleaders, the Trojan Belles and the publications department. For some, the day began at 8 a.m. when excited jour- nalism students arrived early in anticipation of The First Edition sales. Hundreds of students filed into the boys gym that morn- ing to mark the start of the first pep rally. Blue and gold masses of pom pons, yells and enthusiasm brought the sleeping gym to life-a life that would last throughout the seasons. ' The day passed quickly and as the sun set it brought with it the first look at true Trojan spirit. Many long hours of hard work and practice paid off as the Anderson football team jumped to an astounding lead over the Beeville Trojans. As the band and Trojan Belles marched onto the field at halftime, the mingling mass of people who were leaving the stands stopped, as if held by magic, while a routine vegas performed to the theme t'The Beginning of Something reat. The final whistle sounded and the game ended with an Anderson victory, 48-6. Although it was the end of the day-it was the beginning of something great.
