 SPIRIT Fires Up Students by Jackie Schild Excitement, spirit, costumes, competition, and loud voices. All these and more could be found at A.H.S. during Spirit Week 1987. The varsity and j.v. football cheerleaders opened out the week by planning exciting new dress-up days. Faculty and students alike dressed up on Spuds-Hawaiian Day, Heavy Metal Day, Nerd Day, Rambo Day and the traditional Orange and Black Day. Given the task of organizing the annual games for Friday afternoon was a group of student council members, Jon Schulte, Joel Sebranek, Mary Krahenbuhl, Ron Olson, Shawn Gratz, Dan Daly, and their advisor Mr. Haffele. “We decided we didn't want to use all the same old traditional games we've used every year, commented senior Mary Krahenbuhl. “We wanted to do something different. So, new contests such as team soda chugging, co-ed flag football, and blindfolded, piggy-back, egg-eating races joined the traditional tug-of-war and circle sit. Topping off the week of festivities was the annual snake dance, pep-rally, and bonfire. The cheerleaders strived to get football team members and fans fired up for the big Homecoming game pitting Argyle vs. New Glarus. The overall champion in the class competition was the class of 1990 — the sophomores. For their outstanding efforts they received a $50 cash prize donated by Ms. Harris and Mr. Whitcomb. Senior John Stephens looks on as Mr. Herbers and Mr. Rugroden participate in the piggy back egg races at the homecoming games. — r School Life

Familiar Scenes by Chandra Hanson As I approach the doorway of the study hall room, I already know what I’ll see; the usual, but peculiar occurrances of our student body. In the corner, a guy suffering from extreme mental deficiency sits staring blankly out into space. His dad just offered him a car in exchange for good grades. — What type will I get? — To his right, a girl is pondering equations which seem completely impossible to master by test time tomorrow. She knows, however, if she doesn't get a C or better there goes her chance of lettering on the varsity team as a freshman. — Should I ask the brain of geometry to tutor me? — Across the room, the next Jon BonJovi is jamming to the newest tunes on his walkman. His only concern is whether he'll be in the starting line-up or not. — Should I mouth off to the coach tonight in practice? — Next to him, a studious, prudent scholar sits turning red-in-the-face with anger trying to get Jon to turn down his tunes. She has a horrid history exam and an English quizzie to mull over. — Maybe I should have asked my next door neighbor to lend some help in reviewing. She was born with this knowledge implanted in her brain. How fortunate!! Oh, yes, this is my study hall. Without these familiar scenes, I wouldn't believe I was even in the right place. Is any of this familiar to you?!? Shawn Anderson concentrates intently on an assignment.
