Introducing the 1965-66 Senior Class SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The graduating class of 1966 is standing at the threshold of adulthood. We are all looking toward the future that awaits us, just as four years ago we looked toward the beginning of High School as an adventure and a challenge. In the fall of 1962, 172 students entered AHS as freshmen. Serving as homeroom presidents were; Candy Adams, Drew Dierking, Roger Hundley, Rod- ney McLenon, Steve McConnell, Barbara Mize, Alvin Wilson, and Judy Winklepleck. Tim Underwood served as Junior High Student Council president. Many of our boys participated on our Big Green football, basketball, and track teams. For the first time, we elected our own royalty, Candy Adams and Vinnie Willmeth, to reign over the Sports Dance Bridge to the Sun. The next year, as sophomores, we officially en- tered Senior High. The sophomore boys took part in senior high sports and cheering them on to vic- tory were cheerleaders Candy Adams, Pris Marlatt, Sue Merriman, Kathy Michaels, Barbara Mize, and Phyllis Rude. Also during our sophomore year eight students were inducted into the National Honor So- ciety. They were: Candy Adams, Ann Dagenais, Kathy Michaels, Barbara Mize, Kathy Stinson, Tim Under- wood, Mari Jo Wagner, and Sue Zschoche. Finally, our class advanced to the eminent posi- tion of juniors. Tim Underwood was elected presi- dent of our class. The other officers were: Lawrence Bailey, vice president; Sue Zschoche, secretary; and Cherie Shuck, treasurer. Talented thespians took part in the class play, The Curious Savage. Five junior lettermen helped to make our football team the Cen- tennial League Champions. Those boys were: Terry Dale, Cliff Downing, John Downing, Steve McCon- nell, and Bill Roper. The National Honor Society initi- ated Lawrance Bailey, Mike Dickeson, Rogena Down- ing, Steve McConnell, Jimmye Morris, Bob Ruhnke, and Cherie Shuck. Highlighting the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, Shangri-la. The fall of 1965 we reached the final phase of high school, Our Senior Year. We elected senior class officers: Bob Ruhnke, president; Joyce Dimick and Cherie Shuck, vice presidents; Marilyn Spencer, secretary and Jimmye Morris, treasurer. Members of our class were leaders in almost every organiza- tion. Doug Brown served as pesident of student council with Sherry Tull assisting him as vice-presi- dent and Ann Dagenais as secretary. Sue Zschoche was president of Kayettes, Barbara Mize president of Girls A Club, Candy Adams Band Captain, Cherie Shuck president of Top Thirty Chorus, and Steve Mc- Connell president of Boys A Club. Optimist co- editors were Sherry Tull and Marilyn Spencer and Trailblazer editor-in-chief was Barbara Mize. Sue Sul- livan led the senior High Pep Club and Pris Marlatt was head A team cheerleader. At our final Homecoming game, Pris Marlatt was crowned queen. With her attendants Candy Adams, Sue Merriman, .Kathy Michaels, and Barbara Mize, Pris reigned over the dance, Pink Panther. Other elected royalty throughout the year were: Sue Zschoche, queen of the Winter Formal; Jostein By and Phyllis Rude, king and queen of the Royal Courts Dance and Jim Jefferies, Twirp king. The dramatic talent of some of our class members was displayed in The Jury Room. Those initiated into the National Honor Society their senior year were: Kathy Brown, Doug Brown, Roger Hundley, Rodney McLenon, Vicky Liggett, Marilyn Spencer and Jane Weinmann. Our high school days are no more . .. they have certainly been an adventure, and as 148 members of the class of 1966 leave AHS we all in our own way have met the challenge with success.
