School Begins Amid Sultry Summer Heat Signaling the end of summer this year as in years past, was the arrival of the 1970 COLT CORRAL and the subsequent scribble party. Beginning five days earlier this year on August 31, school aroused even more groans and grumbles than usual. The first week was climaxed by Howdy Day, when seniors finally got to be “on top, forcing hapless sophs and juniors to sing. The an- nual Howdy Dance completed the day. Along with the first football game of the year came the first pep rally, boosting spirit that last- ed until that night as the Colts won their first gridiron clash of the year. AHS's new principal, Mr. James Crouch gave a spirit-rous- ing speech and received a stand- ing ovation from enthusiastic AHSers. Welcomed by girls and greeted dubiously by boys was the deci- sion of the school board to allow girls to wear pants suits. A tunic- length top was required, and no blue jeans were permitted. (A) Kathy Honeycutt, junior, and senior Martti Matson discuss pantsuits as newly accepted wearing apparel. (B) Senior Lynne Liberato chooses her words careful- ly as she signs an annual at the scribble party. (C) Couple at Howdy Dance enjoy the long and short of annual festivities. 16 ACTIVITIES
