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. '

High spirit takes students on frantic Every student, whether a sports fan or not, gets swept into the excitement of school spirit, a feeling that can be described as frantic, fun, and all-consuming. Pep sessions and rampant school spirit always prevail dur- ing the traditional Red and Green Week. Spirit reached its peak as everyone at AHS was united in A scalping spree in l63. Red and Green Week is set aside each year to pro- mote a feeling of unity during basketball tourney time. Each morning students paraded through the halls sing- ing and chanting for victory. Student-led rallies were likely to occur anywhere at anytime during the festivities. Homerooms participated in the activities by entering the door decoration contest. The erection of the clever and colorful doors added to the front hall decorations designed by the Pep Sessions Committee. The an- nouncement of the winners, with the Class of '64 cap- turing all the honors, was made at the pep rally which concluded the exciting week. Homeroom 307 won first place. Homeroom 220, and Homeroom 410 took second and third places, respectively. B team cheerleaders. Nanette VViley, Barbara Ballard, Linda Mabrey, and Kathy Reardon cheered for the junior varsity team throughout the season. The varsity basketball team, in Buster Brown clothes and dunce caps, lends a touch of humor to an enthusiastic pep rally. Jane Deeley, Miss Green, and Bob Foust, Mr. Red, typify school spirit and sportsmanship at Anderson High.
