Lessons To Be Learned Eight-thirty was the hour when school began each morning. As the bells rang to signal the change of classes, students hurried through the halls, determined to get to the right room on time. The classes they rushed to were the main reason Alcester High functioned. To teach those who were willing to learn was the goal of teachers at AHS, and to enable them to pursue the career of their choice following graduation, whether it was college or directly on to employment. Freshmen started with the basics in Physical Science, Math and English, their required classes. Typing and English II gave the sophomores something to keep them busy, while juniors took American History and of course English III, all required courses. Seniors earned a credit in both Government and English IV. Sixteen credits were necessary for graduation which meant students were required to take a minimum of four classes at all times. Besides the required courses there were a vari- ety of other classes, varied enough to interest our students, ranging from Algebra to Art, World Problems to Ag., and Accounting to Needlework. % Above-Mr. Hall’s Sophomore English class seems involved in grammar assignment.

8 Jaimey And Erin Reign Over Ice Castles The lights were low, the music soft as everyone anxiously awaited the announcement of the 1979 Homecoming King and Queen. While awaiting, the Freshman attendants, Patty Hammitt and Keith Lapour, Sophomore attendants, Rochelle Twedt and Kenneth Keiser, and Junior atten- dants, Nancy Bergdale and Mark Fickbohm ap- proached the stage to the sound of “Ice Castles”. The theme song was played by Susan Heiman and accompanied by Kelli Lapour on the flute. Preced- ing the candidates were Hayley Johnson, Lance Joachim, Andrea Quail, and Kyle Wehrs, flower, envelope, and crown bearers. The Senior candi- dates, Belinda Cooper and Tom Light, Stephanie Lappegard and Jeff Pederson, and Erin Lusk and Jaimey Schempp were then spotlighted onto the stage. The drop of a pin could have been heard as Paul Buum, Master of Ceremonies, nervously opened the envelope. Erin and Jaimey were announced as the 1979 Homecoming King and Queen and were then crowned and robed by the 1978 King and Queen, Steve Hughes and Nina Barnes. Jaimey and Erin reigned over all as the student body provided skits and musical numbers for their entertainment. A pep rally was help at the bon- fire following the coronation to prepare for the football game against the Salem Cubs. Spirits were high at the football game, but the Cubs came out behind Salem, 33-7. Tbey played a hard fought game, but just couldn’t pull through. Everyone danced to the sounds of “Party” after the football game to wrap up another memorable Homecoming weekend.
