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.

Wigwam is sohoo1's largest classroom Every department contributes to the American Education Week convocation where students found out that high school subjects were not always the drab things they imagined. The school's largest classroom is the Wigwam on con- vocation day when the entire school population of 1,700 convenes for student productions, professional enter- tainment, and speakers of national stature. High point of the year came when a 26-year-old man from Green Bay, Wis., spoke to a combined audience of 3,300 students from the two junior high schools, and St. Maryis in addition to the AHS student body. He was David Hall, who told the story of the tragic auto ac- cident that left him paralyzed for life. Students produced talent shows, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter convocations, and reaped re- wards at the honor day program. All of the 16 convocations this year came through the combined efforts of faculty and students working in committee. Student Council takes the tra- ditional family gathering to depict Thanksgiving at the holiday's annual convocation.
