Beginnings. Mr. Samuel Burford, Andrews'first prin- cipal, speaks on student academic achievement as well as school achievement. Since the construction of Andrews, the school colors have remained red and white, and outstanding athletes have continually been produced. But what about the changes that have occurred since the Fall of 1968?! Starting with students from William Penn and Central, the struggle for school spirit and loyalty was not an easy one. Students and parents alike had to accept integration, which really came into effect when Andrews first opened. A major protest came from the girls who were not allowed to wear hot pants or jeans unless the temperature dropped below 20 F' It wasnlt uncommon for girls to be sent home to change clothes. Smoking was allowed only in the commons, which used to be where room 110 is now. As always, problems brought about many changes, and vice versa. With the increase in the number of students and teachers, fourteen more classes were added as well as an auditorium. Tardies and class-cuttings rarely occurred because of strict punishment. With each year came new fashion trends and fads. The popularity of jeans and long hair lon boysl came in the early seventies. Rock music was accepted and worshipped. There was the beginning of teenage drug use, too. Streaking and mooning made Andrews history in the parking lots. One of the biggest hangouts used to be the K-Mart parking lot. Students who first graduated here felt that they had fewer inhabiiions and anxieties and much more fun than the students of today. Peer pressures have increased while the eagerness to leam has decreased. Even with the problems and confusions of attending a new school, students and teachers survived a decade - ten years - that definitely improved with each year. Mr. Sam Burford, the first principal of Andrews, had these well wishes for the future, I hope that your school will become one of, if not the most outstanding high school in the state. I also encourage each student to dedicate himself to his own academic achievements and to the school's achievements, tool Raider.Although the school colors have always been red and white, the mascot has changed from a Pirate lwhich can silll be seen on the band unifonnsl, to the present day Indian.

Bottom right: Wendy Butler, Joe Nay, Kelly Walker. Bottom left: Eric Harbinson, Kim Peters, Kay Nash. Far left: Laura Greene, Eva Chess. These fifteen were selected as 1977-78 Super Seniors. What made a SUPER SENIOR? A willing- ness to help others, a great personality, and a bright smile were just a part of it. Thirty seniors with these qualities plus outstanding academic standings, extra-cur- ricular activities, or involvement in athletics were nominated by the teachers. This group was narrowed down to fifteen by the senior class. Dan Wagoner showed his athletic abil- ity during the football season by serving as co-captain and quarterback of the team. Wendy Butler entertained during the half- time shows by twirling her baton as co-head majorette. During the pre-game festivities, trumpet soloists Steve Shaw and Karen Brooks reverently performed the National Anthem and then sprang into the fight song Barbara Stalder swang her way to victory on the tennis team by smashing lobs or barely tapping the ball across the net. By creating beautiful works of art, Kim Peters won several awards in fields of
