Out Of The Closet Athletes Nothing to do during lunch? Enjoy active sports activities? Then partici- pating in Intramurals was for you. In- tramurals was for all those people who enjoy fast pace sports activities. Every Thursday during lunch time teams competed against each other in various sports such as badminton, vol- leyball and basketball. “T want many people to join Intra- murals,” said Liz Grimes who was in charge of the program. “I think it’s important for many people to com- pete against each other.” As always, softball, like every other year, turned out to be the most popu- lar sport of Intramurals. Many people joined the lunch time sports program to have fun and for enjoyment. Students, and even teach- ers participated in Intramurals. Intramurals were for everyone who wanted to compete in their favorite sports without spending time after school, and to have a good time.

Do you like meeting new people, getting involved in projects, or taking various trips around the Bay Area? The Club Day 1985 was the day to attend. From its very beginning at noon time, the circle was packed with inter- ested students hoping to find the per- fect club to suit their interests. Each table was mobbed by the stu- dents trying either to sign up or find more information about the clubs which had caught their interest. As a result of Club Day, many clubs dou- bled or tripled in size. Taking trips to various places seemed to be the main focus of most clubs. “We’re hoping to go to the Lawrence Hall of Science,” said Nel- son SooHoo, the president of the new science club, Paden’s Place. There were approximately 26 clubs this year. Some of those were Block A, Fashion Club, Junior Statesmen of America, and Art Club.

“Assemblies are totally rad, they’re awesome, they’re gnarly.’’ These were the strong sentiments of Mr. Robert Rodd when asked his feelings about the assemblies. The Leadership Class was in charge of these programs and had a dual goal in planning and arranging them. They wanted to inform and en- tertain, preferably by using student talent and skills. Thanks to our first assembly we discovered the dancing talents of 13 AHS boys, namely: the Nerdettes, who dazzled us with a routine and several acrobatic feats. Spirit and unity at AHS were also evident at the rallies. The cheerleaders and pom-pon girls involved the student body in supporting our school teams with skits about our opposing teams, new routines and class competitions. Spirit at AHS was definitely alive! Above right: A group of students enjoy a noontime rally. Middle right: Thrilled aren’t we? - Brian Young shows his excitement at a noontime rally.
