AC-AD-IM-Y and Assembly per- iods were more or less a recess for high schoolers. With a tiring school day, this time came as a relief for everyone, but it was usually the busiest period of the day. Meetings with advisors, coun- selors, clubs, and classes held top priority. There were also concerts, movies, assemblies and intramu- ral sports. Students gathered in the courtyard and cafeterias to talk about the latest news, catch up on homework, and get in ex- tra studying. The Kadet Store pro- vided snacks and cool drinks to hold students until lunch. AC-AD- lM-Y period also gave students a chance just to be together. Assembly period was a time to show Kadet teams how much stu- dents appreciated them. This was done in the form of pep assem- blies which included class compe- titions and spiritleoders' routines. Everyone needed a break from closstime, even the invincible Ka- det Krew. How Do You Spell Relief? Taking advantage ofa quiet moment in D Building, Beth Hamel and Dave Hensel enjoy time alone together during AC-AD-IM-Y period Ctopb. Pep assemblies helped to get students as well as players psyched for football games. Student Council members Shannon Seagraves and Jenny Williams hold up a poster for good luck, and although the team didn't waste Fairview, they did manage to beat them 3-O Cabovel.

Chuck Rimer and Lisa Turley talk during AC-AD-IM-Y period Cabovej. An unlikely storyline, one rock star, one highly acclaimed actress, and one storybook romance helped General Hospital become the most-watched daytime show in history. With 14 mil- lion viewers across the country and a vast majority of students at Air Acade- my following its plot, General Hospital became more than just a soap opera. Students rejoiced at Luke and Lau- ra's wedding, gasped at Scotty's reap- pearance, and swooned over Scorpio's sexy accent. Would Port Charles freeze? Would Cassadine be stopped? Students who were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the show now and then were swamped with questions from other less-fortunate students. As a special treat to the student body, the wedding of Luke and Laura was videotaped and played to an au- dience of mostly girls, but also a few teachers and boys, during lunch hours. Charles and Diana never looked so good. 1 15 Student Life

,.c. Q A A AX -+1 Even without looking at the clock, students could tell it was time for AC- AD-IM-Y period by the smell of popcorn throughout A Building. As part of their involvement in DECA, students worked in the Kadet Store selling drinks, candy, popcorn and school sup- plies. Although there was always a long line in front of the store, Lori Campbell managed to smile as she helped students keep up their energy for lectures and tests. Grades were sometimes a less-than-serious matter. Kathy Howard and Mr. Scott Davis joke during AC-AD-IM-Y period Ctopj. The half an hour after third hour was a good time to finish up homework.
