Senior Class History In the fall of 1967, 48 Freshmen began the walk through high school. The leaders chosen to head the march were Jim Pauley, President; Nancy Hagans, Vice-President; Bill Vaughn, Secretary-Treasurer; and Pam Hig- gins, Student Council Representatives. The sponsors were Mrs. Susan Curtman and Mr. Jay Farris. The class was proud to have Peggy Hoefel- man represent the Freshmen at Homecoming. Carolyn Garrett was se- lected as the Barnwarmin’ candidate. The class was very pleased when Farron Klemme was chosen Mr. AJHS. In 1968 we returned to school--50 strong Sophomores. Our leaders were Carol Girffin, President; Bill Vaughn. Vice-President; Cheryl Campbell, Secretary-Treasurer; and Jim Pauley, Student Council Representative. The sponsors who were to guide us were Mrs. Billie Small and Mr. Bob Wilkerson. Peggy Hoefelman was chosen Barnwarmin’ candidate and at the Homecoming festivities Pam Higgins represented us. Our AHS run- ners-up were Bill Vaughn and Wanda Morris. As 1969 rolled around 46 Juniors started school with the following of- ficers: Farron Klemme, President; Jim Smith, Vice-President; Carolyn Garrett, Secretary-Treasurer; and Carl Griffin and Larry Winfrey, Stu- dent Council Representatives. Mrs. Cynthia Lee and Mr. Glenn Nothdurft served as sponsors. Wanda Morris was proudly chosen as attendant for Barnwarmin’ and Beverly Purcell held the position of Homecoming at- tendant. Farron Klemme and Beverly Purcell were chosen AHS candi- dates and the class was very happy to see Farron chosen Mr. AHS. We were very busy all year trying to earn money for the Junior-Senior Prom and the time spent seemed worthwhile. As Prom drew near we chose “Fantasy Under the Sea” as the theme. After the banquet, the Saturday’s Revue provided the music for the dance.

The years had rolled by quickly and now in the fall of 1970 we began high school for the last time. The new Seniors elected Carl Griffin, President; Wanda Morris, Vice-President; Donna Wren, Secretary-Treasurer; and Carl Griffin, Student Council Representative. To see that the senior year ran smoothly Mr. Terry Clapp and Mrs. Georganna Turner served as sponsors. The beginning of school was very exciting for on the second day of school our senior rings arrived! Soon it was time for Barnwarmin' and Pam Higgins held the honored spot of Barnwarmin’ Queen. At Home- coming, Cherri Parris reigned over the Homecoming activities. Farron Klemme was again elected Mr. AHS and Cheryl Campbell served as our runner-up. Instead of May Fete a Spring Concert was held and the class was happy to have Wanda Morris reign as Queen. Soon, Prom arrived and the Seniors were honored by having Donna Wren and Jim Pauley chosen Prom Queen and King. The next big senior activity was the trip, which we spent at Sherwood Lodge at the Lake of the Ozarks. As soon as the trip was over it was time for Baccalaureate, on May 16, at which Reverend Ralph Riner delivered the message. The last senior activity, and the one for which we had prepared for 12 years, was Commence- ment. Commencement was held May 20 and was an emotional event for all involved. The seniors marched in very solemnly in purple and white robes. After the address by Mr. P. J. Newell, the diplomas were pre- sented, followed by a very moving candle lighting ceremony. The road had been long and hard, but now it was over and all we had left was memories.
