Into The Individual Students reluctantly return to classes after enjoying SCA campaign speeches. Groups, teams and organizations are all important to the functioning of ACHS. Working together in harmo- ny is one of the basic principles which lead to the success of activities at Alleghany. Juniors are pleased with the success of their efforts in relation to the junior-senior prom. Naturally the large gym couldn ' t have been trans- formed into an Isle of Paradise by one person. Hard teamwork is evident in the athletic records compiled by ACHS athletes. Wins in sports brought hardy exclamations of victory resulting from the efficient teamwork. Organizations are constantly mak- ing contributions to ACHS. Civic proj- ects benefit the entire student body because of the participation of the group. Although the crowd and group are important, the individual contributions rate above all else. Group achievement depends strictly on individual work. Each person has his own special abili- ties and ideas which benefit the smooth operation of the group. All areas of success at Alleghany hold the essence of individual contribution. Alleghany ' s atmosphere permits the individual to emerge as a unique enti- ty. Alleghany ' s students will contribute to society because of the outstanding character development acquired at Alleghany County High School.
