The gym buzzed as classes filed in for the annual awards assembly. Who would be recognized for outstanding leadership and service in academics, music, school contests, perfect atten- dance, and clubs? Points had been filed with SCA president Ran Coleman. Now those fortunate students who met requirements would receive either their monogram “A’’s or an emblem to add to the monogram. A total of ninety-four people were recognized. Department chairmen recognized students achieving academic excel- lance.

Then on November 12, house lights dimmed as National Honor Society members led thirteen inductees solemn- ly down the aisle of the auditorium. Un- der the direction of Mrs. Virginia Clark the society held its annual induction. Lighting candles symbolic of leader- ship, service, character, and scholarship were Deborah Sandler, Sylvia Anthony, Kay Nichols, and Donna Tyler who re- minded inductees of criteria used for their selection. President Jeff Finch and Principal John Erb congratulated inductees, and Johnna Farris sang “Everything.” A re- ception in the cafeteria allowed parents and friends an opportunity to congratu- late inductees. After seven months of continuous work, the news- paper staff finally organized the “Orange Ex- press.” Greg Pribble, and Kevin Owen received awards for their diligent effort to give AHS it’s first newspaper in more than a decade.

Victory Excites Fans Eight years without a win for home- coming! It was a long wait but the Colo- nels defeated the Buckingham Knights on Friday, October 10. During half- time the band presented a colorful show. Then the flag corps formed a double aisle and escorted the homecom- ing attendants to receive their crowns. King Micah Moon gave Queen Sylvia Anthony the traditional kiss. The dance on the following night was well attended. The cheerleaders with help from many students decorated the old gym. Dwayne Marshall painted the backdrop depicting the theme “One in a Million.” “Soul Brothers Plus” played music to which everyone danced wildly. Mr. Funderburk captured the evening in un- forgetable pictures. But the memories of long dresses, corsages, rock music, and a football victory remain. Students approve of band’s music as they dance to a current hit. ioe “The Soul Brothers Plus” warm up for a hot ‘performance. 20 Homecoming
