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.

Mrs. Tammy Kirk visits with former Anderson student Gerald Davis and Ron Predl, conductor, from TU. .pw T it s Seventh graders, Wade Dobbs and Ed- die Hyams, take a look at rolls of insula- tion brought in to wrap air conditioning duct work . . . or large rolls of left-over Christmas wrapping? 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. Joyce Owens holds the drum majorette ceramic figure she has made to show it to Sharon Shepherd, a new student here.

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.

Shoot or shujfle in noon gyms Robert Herbert and Tony Stevens get after that ball during noon recreation in the gym. The noon program gives all students a place to go and something to do after eating. ,ff Is it an artist's fan club? Rex Brown, RIGHT, seems ple- ased with comments about his art work on the cover of the Student Directory. Danny Swatzell, Valerie Smith, and eighth grade officers Brenda Blades and Teresa Robinson are glad the directories are ready for distribution. The books were ready in time for Valentine's Day. ffl --ff s f, so fe During the ninth grade lunch hour Sharon Wallace, Sharlene Wallace, and Elenor Jackson are dancing to soul music in the gym. Students can bring records and have fun dancing and listening to music at noon, or they can play basketball or pingpong. Kerri Bennett, Liz Bry- ant, Teresa Robinson, Brenda Blades, Alvin Dawson, and Fritz Nolan, eighth grade officers, ass- emble the pages for the Student Directory, pub- lished and sold by the eighth grade for the wh- ole school. Students who wanted their names, add- resses and 'phone nu- mbers in it were listed. 1 ' f L. '.o Pick a number Noon recreation in the gyms is a regular part of the scene now, with nearly everyone hurrying to get through eating so they can join friends in a heated game of basketball or in cool music. Records may be played in the girls' gym, and there's pingpong, basketball and volleyball in the boys' and girls' gyms. Assistant principal, Mr. Murrell Burney, and counselors, Mr. Thomas Kirk and Mr. Dean Loyd, are on hand to supervise and usually get in on playing basket- ball, too. There's a new book around. Eighth grade officers, with plenty of ambition and energy, get out a stu- dent directory this year. Students voluntarily list their names, ad- dresses and telephone numbers, the officers prepare the lists and arrange for printing. Pre-publication cost is 35 cents, if you're late, you pay 40 cents. 5 .
