Sea eee rei: tf ee re te We've Come A Long Way With FFA We’ve come a long way with FFA. Vocational Agriculture implements of nearly fifty years ago as decorations carried out this theme. The F FA nominated over thirty girls for sweetheart but by the evening of the dance the original field had been reduced to only four girls. Each class had a representative with Nancy Stratton, Kathy Johnson, Tina Doss and Jayne Doss in the running, with Robin Moore, Donald Parris, Terry Almond and Skebo Ferguson, respectively, as escorts. Nancy Stratton was crowned 1977 FFA Sweetheart by last year’s Sweetheart Ruth Stratton, while Hat Creek took a break.

ALIS MaBLE SEASON” Christmas 77—parties, presents, caroling ect., all helped to make it that very special part of the year, in which a child- like magic seemed to overtake the old as well as the young. School was no exception; days were filled with special programs and sneaked in parties, plain brown doors turned into enlarged Christmas cards, and of course everyone was waiting for “Santa” to make his yearly appearance. Christmas, being a special time of the year, made studying harder and harder as that much anticipated “last day” got closer. Who could study with “visions of sugar plums danc- ing in our heads” anyway? Christmas day finally came and, in a state of regression, we found ourselves hurrying to see what “Santa” had left for his good little ACHS boys and girls. As the day came to a close we knew that soon our beautiful Christmas tree would be firewood, and our new presents would soon be old, we kept our cheer by realizing that Christmas like “Frosty” is magic and will return again next year.
