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.

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.

ABOVE, Mr. Ron Hinkle and Mr. George Lytle put up a sample poster while Louis Peoples figures how he can sell 30 candy bars and earn a large poster or 15 bars and get a small poster.

Air conditioning is coming TU Jazz is cool Back we come, hoping for air conditioning, but not yet. So all through the late fall and the winter, workmen are in the ceilings and walls, preparing the existing duct work and putting in everything need- ed to get us cooled . . . hopefully in plenty of time for warm spring days. There's plenty to keep us busy though, with new projects in nearly every area. Students in Mrs. Viola Sellers' classes add a section of arts and crafts, and make candles, pic- tures, ceramic figurines. A January visit from TU band members gives us a real treat. We really go for the jazz part of the concertl Former Anderson student Gerald Davis is part of the TU group.

Ceilings and walls have new openings for weeks and weeks, to let workmen get in to install air conditioning. Danny Armstrong gets a little help from Mr. Burney after in- vestigating a hole in the wall off the main hall. It's all in fun, though.

Neatness is encouraged, but students usually hurry too much. Students in Mrs. Viola Sellers' classes work on many different fine arts projects this year.
