Since 1926 the Indian has stood for the Indian pride of AHS students and the school. Jay Atherton and Christy Hovermale had the honors of continuing the tradition. The selection process was full of tense competition. The hopefuls read the rules, went through practices, and put forth a last valiant effort towards the final selection. I'm proud to represent a school that has as much pride and spirit, beamed Christy. It gives me chills just thinking about doing the dance be- ascots cheer Council rules red 84 green the scene cause it is part of such a great tradition. Jay Atherton was surprised by the notariety he received. I've done a lot of outside work and received attention from people I've never known. Student Council received a lot of at- tention through their efforts, too. Though their number was cut in half, they came on strong. One of President Christy Hover- male's goals for the year was to try to raise school spirit to the absolute maximum. Also, there were more new members who got the chance to feel they were doing something for their fellow Y .lil 35 students. lt's our responsibility to let the stu- dents have input, explained Christy. Among their other activities, they went to junior highs and elementary schools to motivate the younger stu- dents to set goals and steer clear of drugs. Student Council was a highly promi- nent and indispensable team in the or- ganization of elections, the coordina- tion of dances, and giving a voice to the student body of AHS. We're Buddies! says Christy Hovermale in her Maiden uniform as she cuddles up to her Indian partner, Jay Atherton.

Once upon a time at Anderson High School, there was a beautifully deco- rated wonderland filled with happy couples who spent the evening dancing until dawn. The night, that special date, the feeling in the air -these were the things that made Prom such an unfor- gettable night. Every year girls rushed home the day of Prom to perfect themselves. Mani- cures, getting their hair just so, and topping it off with the dress that took Coat check is a time to remember - whose coat, which table, where's the junior? Smiles are in order for this reigning queen, Stacy Davis and her court, Angel Kolins and Jennifer Leech. ueen Stacy Davis of Stairway to Heaven four months to find in the right color were just part of the routine. The guys had a lot to do too. They begged Mom and Dad for the new Cadillac or Porsche to whisk their date away in and maybe just a little extra money. For three months between the an- nouncements of the three candidates and the unveiling of the Prom Queen the lucky young ladies could envision themselves as Prom Queen and how wonderful the night would be. By AHS tradition the Prom Queen was chosen by the guys from the junior class. Preparations began in February. Committees for everything from en- trance to invitations to the tables were put into action early to make sure ev- erything would go like clockwork on the big night. This was the night that Stacy Davis was queen of the world and Angel Ko- lins and Jennifer Leech filled out her court. E Y ...jim M, A ig PROM COMMITTEE.
