 Sing, Sophomore, sing!” became a common statement as Howdy Day, sponsored by the Stu- dent Council, brought a feeling of belonging to the new sophomores at school. Sponsoring the Halloween Carnival, Home- coming, Western Day, and TWIRP Week, the Stu- dent Council remained active in school affairs. The Halloween Carnival was highlighted by the sophomores’ Car Smash, the juniors’Rope Jump, and the seniors’ Talent Show. Homecoming was climaxed by the announce- ment of Gayla Reynolds as Homecoming Queen and Miss School Spirit, and Scott Taylor as Mr. School Spirit. The sophomore float, Spirit of AHS, Soar to Victory,” won the float competition. Western Day came with a Pow” and a Whoop” as the school was visited by Batman (Neil McCabe) and Robin (Johnny Armstrong), and as Sharia Wooley, Kris Schwarzer, Joe Mendez, and Ronnie Uselton were chosen Western Day Queens and Kings. The Student Council ended up its year spon- soring TWIRP Week. The week contained a TWIRP court, Olympics, picnic, hootenanny, and dance.
