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.

A fun way to get involved with sports at AHS was to be a manager. It was fun, but it was also a lot of hard work. Managers kept water bottles ready, packed the bags, and recorded the sta- tistics. Working long and varied hours, the managers also did the laundry and maintained equipment - in other words all the dirty work. Why would someone want to do all these sometimes thankless jobs? CA manager even had to work for two sea- sons to receive a letter.J The letter, the excitement, and the belonging were main reasons for managers to put up with the hassles. Beth O'Bryant, manager of the girls' basketball team, summed up the whole experience. I loved managing the team. l enjoyed being a part of the team. I had a lot of friends and enjoyed being a part of the happiness and sor- row. A traditional group at AHS not seen at many other schools was the A-Club. This group's main prerequisite for en- try was the earning of an athletic letter in any sport. Requirements for earning letters varied with each sport. The school provided the letter while the athletes purchased the sweater. Why work out at least five times a week, sweat and suffer pain and agony just for a letter? There was more to it than that. A feeling of being a team - an Indian family - the thrill of winning, and the self-satisfaction were the ath- letes' reasons. By wearing their A sweaters, these athletes showed that they were proud to be Indians. managers
