r a d u a t i o n with faith in EACH other and the EXPERIENCES WE VE shared. With faith in each other and the experiences we've shared, we advance into our future building from what we have learned. This was the motto writ- ten by the graduating class of 1989, and was the theme for graduation. Thirty-two Seniors walked down the aisle in the Ele- mentary School gym and across to the podium to re- ceive their diplomas. Seven of this number had earned the privilege of wearing gold honor cords. The band provided the Pomp and Circumstance for the pro- cessional.

1989 was an election year and everyone at AHS was in- volved. Students did more than just argue about candidates, they participated. The pep band was invited to play in the Demo- cratic Dukakis Bentsen rally held in Sioux Falls. A great time was had by all — even the Republi- cans in the group. The Natural Helpers sponsored a local rally in high school on Election Day. The government classes went to each class and explained the candidates and issues. Then bal- lots were passed out and the en- tire student body voted. The votes were tallied and the results announced at the end of the ral- ly. The votes were fairly accurate in comparison to the real election results. The next President of the USA is G. Bush. 14
