AND WINNER IS... n October 14, 1988, we ex- hibited our annual Home- coming Parade. This spec- tacular event brought sec- retaries from their desks, teachers from their rooms, and united the students in school spirit. For a parade to do all that, you know it had to be something exciting The floats competed to see who came in first. Naturally the seniors won first place, but the surprise of the day was that fresh- men snagged second place. The juniors stumbled in at third place and sopho- mores fourth Since the theme was Alameda in Ha- waii, all the flaots had something to do with Hawaii. Smoking volcanoes, huge, colorful flowers, and little Hawaiian Island scenes were among the delightful sights The day was beautiful for a parade. Even though the morning was rainy, the sun poked through the dreary clouds to ilk § welcome the princes and princesses as they rolled down the streets in Cabriolets, Stingrays, and Mustangs just to name a few. The princesses were dressed in alll their finery. There were sparkling satins, sensational silks, and tremendous taffe- tas Joining in the parade was the Navy Col- or Guard, AHS Flag Drill Team, and the Marching Band “liked all the floats, | thought they were interesting and original. | think maybe the parade could have been longer by in- volving more students,’’ said Norman Ta- kao “| could see a Hawaiian football floating down the street,” said David George, his- tory teacher The parade not only got students out of class early, teachers away from their po- diums, and secretaries away from their desks, but served to united all the people who comprised AHS ‘| could see a Hawaiian football floating down the street.’’— David George
