Candy sales help student fund Hay Were part of scene l Candy selling is an annual thing at Anderson, but this year there's a new twist. We can decorate our rooms with posters if we sell enough bars of candy. Some of the posters are the black light kind. Collecting becomes almost a way of life. We collect paper to take part in the KELi Save Our Trees cam- paign, with homerooms and other classes challenging each other. We help others by collecting canned foods before Christmas. Mr. Steve Mayfield's homeroom brings in the most cans. The Red Cross membership drive and collection is the most successful in recent years, with S140.00 coming in from all homerooms. Weather brings us a cou- ple of extra days off, when ice and snow make driving too hazardous. And we don't have to make 'em up! It takes all A's to make Principal's Honor Roll.

Spook-0-Grams start it . . . Sending Spook-o-grams is an important part of the scene just before Halloween at Anderson.

The Leader Corps profits go to buy T-shirts, ninth grade proceeds will help defray costs of the ninth grade spring party. Seventh, eighth and ninth graders choose football queens this year, although it is not a school-sponsored event. Contestants sell tickets to fellow students to get votes. A colorful flowered archway is used for crowning of the queens and introduction of attendants at the homecoming. Football games, cheerleader try-outs and practice . . . make part of the fall scene. Crocheting's a big thing this year . . . everyone with new crocheted purses, vests, hats. Competition for football queens involves the selling of tickets. Kerri Bennett, a contestant for eighth grade queen, gets a vote from James Allen.

Y 'Tis a season to be jolly! Charles Ferrell and Mark Holt top out 210 trees. S Eddie Brimmer, Thomas Grey, and Ricky Shealy get a few pointers on stocking-hanging from Mr. Ronald Hinkel. V N Roll back 25 years- There's more decorating for Christmas in nearly every room this year. Hardly a bulletin board or door is left without its seasonls greetings. In Mrs. Phyllis Lasarsky's science room, a tree is decorated with test tubes. The last day of school before the holidays, we have a '5O's party. Most of the students dress in the '5O's styles-the girls in saddle oxfords and long skirts or dresses, hair in pony tailsg the boys in ankle-high pan- ts, white shirts, black jackets, hair combed back. Some teachers join in the spirit of the day by pulling out old outfits. Mr. Ben Bly, new math teacher, looks more like a student in his very real '5O's outfit. Carolyn Phillips, Gayla Pendleton, and Brenda Bobby socks, mid-calf skirts, and the dances of the '50's were the style of the day on December 21 when Student Council and the P-TA sponsored a holiday party. Dancing in the gym, Carol Robbins and Rodney Kelley show how the old folks used to dance. Blades provide a fashion parade of the '5O's. BELOW, Tasha Eaton and Robbie Wilkes try out the jitterbug steps of those years gone by.
