Anita Community Schools hope to draw to the inside straight and end up with a winning hand. Step right up, ladies and gentle- men! I've got the best card game around! It's a game of chance where the winner takes all! Cmon, fora buck try your luck! You just might win - it all depends on Flaying the hand You re Dealt Life is like a card game; we have little control over what we're given and then expected to do something extraordi- nary with it. The hands life does deal us come in a wide variety and we end up holding a different set of cards or situations everytime. Students at AMS, veteran card players, experienced a few new tricks during the game of the 87-'88 school year, but ended up with a winning hand with the attitude of Flaying the hand We re Dealt. As the year (game) began. AHS was holding many winning cards including beautiful facilities, enthusiasm, and an excellent faculty and student body. As the game progressed, AMS contin- ued on a hot streak especially at homecoming, hitting a royal Hush and a pair of kings. Mowever. AMS soon found out that every high must have a low. Sharing activities became a hot betting issue as to whether to return volleyball, softball, and baseball to Anita. With a keen sense of card- playing, AMS won that hand and the activities returned to AMS along with a strong sense of school pride. The next bad draw AMS had to cope with was a change in students grade point averages. Vocal, band, and PE would count as graduation credit but would no longer count towards the grade point. This threw the entire hand in jeopardy until cards were dis- carded and replaced, leaving us with a better hand. During the middle of the game, win- ter arrived bringing us good cards. Bets on the swing choir proved worthy as their accapella version of The Star Spangled Banner, which was sung at the beginning of basketball games, be- came a crowd favorite. Lady Luck con- tinued to be on our side as the speech team scored a straight, winning the 19th consecutive conference speech title and continuing success at Dis- tricts and State. The wrestling team helped AMS work for a win with a four ot-a-kind, qualifying four wrestlers to State. Of course, during these good hands there were a few bad times, but The Spy. with their Accentuate the Positive campaign, wouldn't allow AMS to fold. As the year progressed, we all became experts at drawing suit- able hands especially The Spy staff by winning one national and various state awards. As the game drew to a close and all the cards were facing up, bets were placed on the seniors and their future plans, and the rest of the student body began thinking of new tricks and hands to play next year. But for now. sit back quietly, peek over the players shoulders, and watch the 87- 88 yearbook s cards to see how we're Flaying With the hand We re Dealt. 2 Theme
