Prom Queen Cindy Phelps looks regal in her beautiful sheath full-length formal and queenls tiara, Queens have beaut Amid a striking oriental decor, the seniors were hon- ored at the annual Junior Senior Prom. Couples danced with a feeling of excitement, yet a slight feeling of sorrow crept in, as the moments quickly passed. This was the last all-school dance for the graduates. Colorful Japanese lanterns, waterfalls, fountains, and an oriental wooden bridge added to the enchant- ment of spending an 'Evening in Shangri La. The long flowing formals, sweet scented flowers, and spark- ling white dinner jackets made the gymnasium a picturesque scene. The climax of the evening came as Cindy Phelps and her escort majestically led the Grand March amid rows of enthralled spectators. As the graduates said their goodbyes, and the juniors looked forward to being honored at the next prom, another wonderful year came to a significant end at Anderson High. 5 at Adding beauty to the oriental atmosphere of the dance are queen attendants Stephanie Carr and Trena Massey. Last year the prom was held in an arctic wonderland, but the prettiest sights are the couples dressed in prom finery. 2

Homecoming is big and boisterous Senior Linda Colvill beams happily as she realizes that she will be remembered always as Homecoming Queen. Her at- tendants are Dixie Contos and Stephanie Carr. Big and boisterous describes the Homecoming parade of 1963. The colorful floats, designed by clubs, home- rooms, and sophomore, junior, and senior classes, en- tered into competition for the most cleverly designed. The Senior class winner, '4VVeiner Lose, You Can't Beat Our Teemj' sported a huge hot-dog and an enormous bottle of Teem. When the crowd was finally packed into the football stadium the students sat on the edge of their seats, fingernail biting began, and silence prevailed. Steve Ham searched a long instant for the envelope, then stepped to the microphone and announced that Senior Linda Colvill was the 1963 Homecoming queen. Seniors clapped wildly as Cheryl Caldwell, last year's queen, placed the crown on Linda's head. Climaxing the fall sport season was the Fall VVindup dance, sponsored by the Student Council. One could almost feel the soft breezes blowing and the harvest moon shining in the balcony of the new gym decorated in an Autumn decor. Pretty Brenda Nighbert was se- lected to reign as queen as athletes and students signaled an end to Indian summer. Lovely Fall Wind-up Queen Brenda Nighbert is surrounded by attendant Cindy Phelps, Student Council President Steve Ham, and attendant Barbara Falls. '
