1979-80 The Homecoming Skit was one of the highlights of the day. In the skit our one and only quarterback was kidnapped by the Shannon Red Raiders, but was soon rescued by Superman, alias Mr. Herman Riley. The skit was followed by the Pep Rally with Sophomores winning the coveted spirit stick, and the presentation of the Homecoming Queen, Sharon Stevens. The Homecoming court, class floats, club entries, AHS Band, and the cheerleaders were featured in the parade that afternoon. Homecoming week came to an end on Friday night with the coronation of the Queen before the game. However, the night ended on a somewhat disappointing note with the Amory Panthers falling to the Shannon Red Raiders. 7

Homecoming at AHS is one of the most memorable occasions of the year. It’s a week of red eyes, short tempers, long nights, mental and physical fatigue, and many fun times of which make Homecoming all worthwhile. The Student Council did much to boost school spirit during the week. The week started with Tie Day on Monday. Tuesday was Poster Day, and Wednesday was Hat Day. Thursday was Backward Day, and the week ended with Black and Gold Spirit Day on Friday. Besides these activities, many hours were spent on float building and Homecoming skit practice after school until late at night. Building floats was the biggest class competition with the Juniors taking first place, the Seniors second, and the Sophomores third, The Freshmen were fourth, but gained experience for next year. 6
