SECRET LIVES “All students are dis- missed!” As these familiar words echo through the halls, 550 students are free to ven- ture on their separate ways. We find that many students are indepen- dently working toward their futures with part- time jobs. Others parti- cipate in school activi- ties and sports. As the school week comes to a close, students’ spirits rise as they scheme for an ex- Mudsllngs have become popular Alleghany pastimes (above). Jerry Barnes and Laurlnda Bedsaul head out on a date (right). 6 — Secret Lives citing weekend. At 3:00 on Friday afternoon, this weekend finally begins! “Where will I take my date tonight?” These words go through many guys’ minds. Whereas, “What am I going to wear?” frequently drifts in and out of a girl’s mind. The “big town of Sparta” is now lit up with students cruising main street! However, many of us want a change of pace and de- cide to wander out of Sparta. We have other enjoy- able activities on the weekends besides “hanging out.” We visit relatives, go shopping, go to church, work at home and at weekend jobs, and we can never forget the “homework.” Everyone has his own thing to do during the week and on the week- end. Enjoy these high school days because “they are the best years of your life!”

Many spend hours watching football games, playing in the band, and participating in a variety of organizations. “The activities have given me a sense of confidence and responsibility,” said one member of the senior class. Continual studying does not make a well-rounded person, and colleges look for individuals who enjoy a variety of projects. AHS provides this through sports, clubs, and various other activities. Mayfest held during the spring of each year is an example of the ex- pression of school spirit. Other ideas throughout the year are suggested by students and teachers. These are submitted to a new committee designed to en- sure that students enjoy their time at school. Our school has helped to make these young adults the kind of individuals that a community would be proud to call their leaders. All of the school activities promote and enrich students’ lives from freshmen to seniors. Student Life — 5
