fise ft fhl ITS 0 10% (it As the 86-87 school year began, there were many changes at AHS. Dif- ferent teachers and a new principal were welcomed. Class- rooms were built in the old library area, and a new library was built on the west end of the school. The library opened its doors the second six weeks of school. There was a different tobacco policy — no dipping, chewing, or smoking. The park- ing lot was rede- signed to accom- modate the growing number of student drivers. Throughout this transition period, both students and teachers kept smiles on their faces and open minds to these changes. mu» I own ft M4b 4 trofttpurtoflufi nd b« bl« ftj w ffc a Htiibli schafvto which will includi fttrly ftiormnj Naurs, IcH wtfilng hours md Utvrdayi Salary plus car tvpohftos. ftafla- fits art food H you or Ifttoroif 94, plooft apply la parson fo: Ptnonnp! Dtpartment Along with a new year, comes a new principal, Mr. Sam Rector, and a new superintendent, Mr. Clarence Crouse. Both are striv- ing for quality education in our county. Because of the lack of space, a new library was added on this year. The old library was divided into five classrooms. This new classroom has helped to ease the crowded con- ditions at Alleghany. Mr. Jeff Parsons, a former AHS graduate, took over as band director for the Little Mighty Trojan band in August. 14 0« 1 Cpse Changes
