Crazes flash brightly, many fade quickly The fashion craze spread through AHS like a rumor, passing quickly from person to person with each adding his own individual touch. Coeds, rather than boys, adopted most of the uncon- ventional ideas in 1961, and gradually 'ibubblesi' and poofy', hair-dos replaced ponytails, the hem line came up exposing the knee, and leotards colored the legs. Besides glamour, the girls decided to add a bit of comfort to their lives and donned tennis shoes -not only White, but a color to match any outfit.

Bears hibernate, trees shed their coats, and the ground covers itself with a Warm brown and gold blanket. But, at AHS students and faculty scrambled out of hibernation, put on their warmest coats, and rushed into the cool season with a far-from- sleepy attitude. They contributed energetically to football games, Homecoming, and social events. The annual Homecoming with its unmatched parade, and exciting coronation of the queen, Barbara Deiser, entertained a spellbound crowd of more than 4,000. Seasons come and go, but fall was not dismissed at AHS until the final touch was added. The Fall Wind-up Dance with queen, Becky Hart, was the perfect finale for the eventful season that came and left with a breeze.
