Manager Fred Stevens keeps team records for the varsity basketball team. ehind the scenes teams: managers and A-Club For a behind the scenes look at ath- letics, some students were members of A-Club or a team manager. 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
