Alicia MitchellThis remarkabe panther ... possessed a coat of distinctive golden sheen, and his dealings with others was as distinctive as his coloring ... he was a leader. Maybe not in all, nor necessarily in any one area was he outstanding, but when the occasion arose he was available with the contribution, unique and distinctive, that met the need at hand ... The spirit and purpose of this remarkable panther pack still survives in the life and purpose of some of those who now occupy this land. The students' ... potentialities and abilities, are similar in spirit if not in fact ... the recognitions that we give to respective leaders and outstanding students of our student body ... be such to recognize these qualities of leadership as exemplified by that glorious golden panther of long ago.
10INDUCTION: Santa Comes To AHS
The National Honor Society members — Darcy Brown, Ken Reich, Missy Merideth, Alicia Mitchell, Priscilla Pruitt, Suzanne Ross, Karen Salter, Stephanie Weaver — conducted the induction service in assembly during December.

Several weeks of practice culminate in this ceremony for one of the twenty some odd candidates. Acsecret committee of male students and faculty members meet earlier to select the school's prettiest girls. After the selections are announced, the real work begins. "Hold your shoulders up," "Slow down," "Go back and come out again"— these are all heard over and over. Too, there are many jobs such as painting, drawing, nailing, sawing to be done to finish the set in time. Renea has been in the beauty revue for all four years of high school and placed in top ten all four years and in top five three. Oddly enough, she has had a number to correspond to the number of the beauty revues held at AHS: 14, 15, 16, 17.Top Five plus most congenial: left to right: first row: Cindy Moon, Renea Johnson, Jill Sanders; second row, Suzanne Ross, Tammy Williams (Most Beautiful, 1978) Beth Francis, Sharon Stevens.

Mr. Taylor said all the bands in the middle school and high school will be in spring concert May 17 and 18 at the high school auditorium. There will be nine performing bands in the program, of which Mr. Taylor said he is extremely proud. Amory currently has three middle school bands, a ninth grade band, two stage bands, two varsity concert bands, and the varsity marching band. The organizations involve an estimated 30 percent of the students in the student body.
Band Director Bob Taylor said Mississippi is the only state that has a state band festival in which bands play concert, sight read, and march the same day.
“This is the main reason that Mississippi has such a strong and active band organization statewide,” he explained. “We are very proud to be among the top bands in this organization and our students represented the town and school very well.”
The Amory Band attended the festival April 4 and returned the evening of April 5 with a large convoy of parents and supporters welcoming them back into town.
“We want to give a special thanks to all of the people of the community who have
been so faithful in supporting us this year,” Mr. Taylor said. “It is always important to us to have the backing Of our parents and friends, but it has meant so much more to us this year because of the loss of two of our members--Liz Sisson and David Childers. Our support and thanks have been and always will be with the families of these two for what they have meant to us. Liz and David always showed the kind of character and pride that have made the band what it is today. We are thankful for them and for having had them as members of our organization. But we are thankful, too, that we learned in losing them what it’s like to pull together, to support each other, and to depend on God for help. For knowing these two and for what we learned in losing them, none of us will ever be the same.”See
