LEADERSHIP THROUGH In July 1980. a stranger was welcomed into our communi- ty. For the first time since 1975, AHS had a foreign ex- change student. Wolfgang Neumann. “Some people I knew had gone to the U.S. and last year my cousin went. I decided I wanted to go too.“ said Neu- mann. Therefore, he wrote to Youth for Understanding and applied to be a foreign exchange student. He was accepted and came to live with the Varel Bailey family. Schule am Heimgarten is the school he goes to in Ahrens- burg. West Germany. They have thirteen grades in Germany schools. The first ten years they arc required to take eleven courses In eleventh grade they can pick which courses they will take the next three years. “School is much harder in Germany 4 explained Wolf- gang. “we go from 7:50 a m. to 1:00 p.m. on the long days and we alternate from five to six days a week, including every other Saturday. At AHS. W'olfgang has been involved in speech, basket- ball, chorus, band, and tennis. “Speech is my favorite activity, and Humanities is my favorite class “I have made a lot of friends here and someday I hope to come back. Besides the usual student council sponsored activities as Home- coming. ice cream sales, spirit week, and the Twerp dance, the council has also hosted visiting council members from surrounding schools, and a number of assemblies, sock hops and pre-Christmas vacation movies for the student body entertainment this past year.

DAYS BEFORE THE WAR The countdown for WW III. Anita vs. A-C, began Sunday. October 5 as the Spartans let off some steam through intramural volleyball games. The faculty came out on top. To entertain our troops, the freshman class held the annual Gong Show on Sunday. The Gong Show honors were taken by the little cheerleaders: Jill Jcssen, Leslie Willet. and Adrienne Willet. Monday the civilians doubled the spirit by dressing like another person. On Tuesday the student body leaders assigned a hallway to each class to decorate according to the theme. The Juniors took top honors by having the best camouflaged hallway. The senior football players did a routine to “Another One Bites the Dust’4 at their pep rally on Tuesday. On Wednesday, AHS looked like it was in a time machine as student wore clothing from out of the 50’s. Thursday was slave day, all student council and class leaders were sold to the student body. The faculty also took part in the enthusiasm on Thursday during the activity period, with a pep rally (including cheerleaders), pep band, and coronation skit. Thursday night the girls showed the troops what they thought should be done against A-C in the annual powderpuff game. The senior-freshman team was victorious. Pic I.
