Spirit Of Accomplishment This year AHS felt the spirit of accomplishment. Al- though just a few students were part ot an accompli- shemnt at a given moment, the whole school shared in the excitement and in many cases, helped them reach high to accomplish their goals. The football team had a disappointing season but to accomplish winning the four games coaches, cheer- leaders, (Pic. 1) and fans stood behind the players through the season. The wrestling squad concluded an enjoyable season with many members placing high in tournaments and two going on to state. Pic. 2 In his first year of wrestling, senior Todd Johnson joined the varsity wrestling squad and finished the year out with a 13-14 record and placed 2nd at Conference tournament at 167 pounds. The 1982 Royalty Court consisted of Joy Rodgers and Tim Eilts as Sweetheart King and Queen (Pic. 3) while Jill Neighbors and Todd Johnson were chosen Homecom- ing King and Queen. Erica Aggen and Joel Jackson were chosen as crownbearers (Pic. 5). Pic. 4 The NFL's out- standing accomplishment was winning the 13th and fi- nal Little Eight Conference trophy.
