Sometimes Life Resembles A Puzzle This year at A.C.H.S. was certainly the most disasterous in the school’s short history. Hurricane Agnes, and the flooding that fol- lowed, made havoc in the Home of the Colts. The gym was completely ravaged and Hod- nett Hall was the scene of floating seats and one waterlogged piano. The school was not a complete shambles as one would think, though. By the start of the school year, pieces started falling together, as new equipment replaced the flood-damaged materials. Also, many new teachers with unique ideas joined the faculty at Alleghany. Sportswise, most teams made a superior showing in the district race, especially the football team, which was Blue Ridge District Co-Champion. That was an outstanding finish for a team that was picked to finish sixth in the district in a pre-season poll. What big feet Suzie Spraggins and Steffy Nicely have!

Yet When We Unite And Work Together Roger Simmons prepares to throw a block for “Sawmill” Bradley, who is truckin’ to paydirt. Alleghany was also honored by hosting the State 2A Wrestling Tournament. Although Alleghany failed to place high as a team, Don Shanks and David Adkins placed third and fourth respectively against a tough group of wrestlers. Social gatherings, such as dances and pep rallies, were temporarily pre-empted due to damages incurred by the flood. For the first year, there was no Christmas Formal for the Alleghany students. At the beginning, Alleghany’s 1972-1973 school year was certainly a trying one, with carpenters running in and out, plumbers repairing damaged heaters, and constant confusion reigning at that time. But as the days rolled by, things finally began to take shape, and with the cooperation of the students, the Home of the Colts returned to nor- mal. For Alleghany, the old cliche held true and still holds true — TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT. Dave Davis assists Mr. Yates in taking tickets at the newly erected fencing that surrounds Colt Field. 3
