Now we have reached the final point to which we may go at AHS. We are thinking of the things that lie ahead in the future but it's an opportune time to take a look at some of the events that happened during our four wonderful years. During our freshman year we groped along until the routine of high school was no longer a battle. Phil Lenz, Gary Frazer, Terry Edwinson, Pam Thomas, Nancy Footit, Libby Lentz and Kay Wagner were home- room presidents. We participated in many activities which proved ourselves to the upperclassmen. Linda Bell was a majorette in the band and Dorothy Draper, Janet Meyer, Sara Townsend, Judie Craig and Barbara Teschner participated in the White Chapel Bell Choir. Our frosh football team earned proud compliments from the coach, Mr. Smith, by winning every game of the season. Neal Smith and Terry Edwinson served as co-captains for the team. The girls shouting Go, Big Green! were Libby Lentz, Kay Wagner, Barby Feldman and Mary Kim Buckley. Libby and Terry Edwinson reigned over the annual sports dance that year. We were 178 strong, not only active in sports but also in the A-Club, Kayettes, Modern Dance and other musical groups. Finally we passed from underclassmen to upperclassmen and we started off with a boom. We built the winning Homecoming float and David Hiner was elected Trailblazer chief. We were represented on the B-team cheerleading squad by Linda Bell, Barby Feldman and Kay Wagner. When class elections were held for the next year we really had our chance at politics. Elected were David Heck, president; Dick Paste, vice-president; Sue Hibler, secretary and Barbara Spears, treasurer. Many of our classmates took part in the all-school play. Carol Scholz did a fine job in the Miracle Worker and Barb'y Feldman was excellent as Anne in The Diary of Anne Frank. Those inducted into the honor society were Linda Bell, Mary Kim Buckley, Carolyn Carr, Barby Feldman, Gary Frazer, Mignon Griffith, David Heck, John Wisniewski and Karen Yost. In the fall of 19§2, our junior football players worked hard, giving much promise of things to come. Pete Enich, Stan Spinner, Paul Griffin and Neal Smith helped the basketball team to a record year. Carol Scholz and Kay Wagner were enthusiastic varsity cheerleaders and again we won the Homecoming float com- petition. Rarbv Feldman and Elaine Walczak took leads in the all-school play our junior year. Jeff Wainscott, Barby and Carolyn Carr added strength to our debate team and won many awards. The prom, our going-away pre- sent to the seniors was one AHS will never forget. Decorated in the theme of a Roman Holiday, it was said to be one of the most beautiful ever to be presented in the history of the school. Jeannie Irvin, a junior, served as our Trailblazer editor. Janice Hoecker, Marie Dyer, Carol Janden, Susan Beck- man, Terry Wells, Susan Moore and Sara Townsend were inducted into the National Honor Society. We finally made it! With our heads held high, we became the proud sen- iors of AHS. We started off with a bang by winning for the third straight year, the Homecoming float contest. 15
