School Begins Amid Sultry Summer Heat Signaling the end of summer this year as in years past, was the arrival of the 1970 COLT CORRAL and the subsequent scribble party. Beginning five days earlier this year on August 31, school aroused even more groans and grumbles than usual. The first week was climaxed by Howdy Day, when seniors finally got to be “on top, forcing hapless sophs and juniors to sing. The an- nual Howdy Dance completed the day. Along with the first football game of the year came the first pep rally, boosting spirit that last- ed until that night as the Colts won their first gridiron clash of the year. AHS's new principal, Mr. James Crouch gave a spirit-rous- ing speech and received a stand- ing ovation from enthusiastic AHSers. Welcomed by girls and greeted dubiously by boys was the deci- sion of the school board to allow girls to wear pants suits. A tunic- length top was required, and no blue jeans were permitted. (A) Kathy Honeycutt, junior, and senior Martti Matson discuss pantsuits as newly accepted wearing apparel. (B) Senior Lynne Liberato chooses her words careful- ly as she signs an annual at the scribble party. (C) Couple at Howdy Dance enjoy the long and short of annual festivities. 16 ACTIVITIES

Anders Finds Arlington Full Of Activities Anders Mangen, Arlington High's foreign exchange student from Sweden, added greatly to the Year of the Colts. At the first pep rally of the year, students applauded and cheered him when he was introduced. His command of the language sur- prised AHSers although he had spoken and written English for eight years. Anders became a member of the Key Club and Thespians, and was on the photography staff. Holding a leading role in one of the dramatic productions, Marne, Anders played the lech- erous Brian O’Bannion. At one of the school assemblies, Anders completely surprised stu- dents by playing the harmonica.
