Spur School Spirit Hundreds of spirited AHSers herded themselves into their respective places in the crowded gym to begin the first of several rollicking, Friday morning pep rallies. To the heat of the fight song, AHS gridmen filed through spirit lines, which were composed of clapping, yelling senior hoys. Sophomores were lost when the rival yell “Vic- tory” began, hut they soon caught on. Last year’s favorite yell, “Warning,” ran a close second to the new champ. “Fever.” Each pep rally was livened by an amusing skit which had been produced by those talented play- wrights, the AHS cheerleaders. During each rally students were given a chance to show class spirit and creativity by displaying signs. Several students took it upon themselves to dish out extra Colt Fever by wearing crazy hats, clanging cow hells, and literally ringing chimes. Mrs. Margie Austin, physical education instruc- tor, again sponsored the cheerleaders. She assisted the girls in rally planning, financial drives and in decorating for the annual football banquet. Charlotte Ashworth leads the (.’oils in the “Vletorv eheer. ACTIVITIES 21

Homecoming Activities Highlight November D D D November was once again the month of Home- coming. The first week of the month was highlighted by the usual bectic float building, and queen and princess nominating. In addition to this, students decorated their homeroom doors with chicken wire, crepe paper, and napkins, resulting in many of them resembling mini-floats. Everybody’s Talking” was made the theme of Homecoming. Juniors captured first place in the float building with their title, “Everybody’s Talking About Colt Drive. while sophs submitted their first effort “Everybody’s Talking About the Late Go- pher.” and seniors proclaimed that “Everybody’s Talking About Apollo Arlie.” Sophomores chose Nancy Pitstick to represent them in the royal court. Due to an unusual tie, both Michelle Bvam and Robin McGlew were elected by the juniors. Seniors named Charlotte Ashworth, Jonia Hay- den, Gene Swaim. and Cindy Turner as Homecom- ing Queen Nominees. Gene emerged as winner and was crowned by Student Council President Doug Payne. Although hopes for the District 6-1A title were smashed at the Homecoming game, spirits were once again on the rise at the dance afterwards. As at Homecoming 1068. music was provided by the Soul Purpose. Taking part in a school-wide effort to promote Colt fever, Carolyn Taylor and Gail Beck decorate their homeroom door. 22 ACTIVITIES
