Spirit week highlights October With students once again firmly entrenched in the school-day routine, October activities got underway. Seniors donned their fanciest garb for the group picture made in front of the building. Spirit Week events prepared students for the Lamar game. A slight break from tradition was made when all three classes decorated their halls on Thurs- day afternoon rather than on separate days as in the past. Spirit Week efforts didn't go unrewarded as the Colls defeated Lamar for the first time in three years. Back-to-School Night was held by the PTA at which time parents were able to meet the teachers. The band performed several of its marc hing numbers at the meeting. Monster Soup, a Halloween melodrama, was presented by the Drama Department to young audiences at Bailey and Gunn Junior Highs and in the AHS auditorium. Four seniors, Jeff Hall, Kathy Ziegler, Marcus Erickson, and Steve Hamlett, received letters of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Pro- gram for their scores on the SAT. Another senior, Thomas McNeil, was declared a Com- mended Student by the National Achievement Program for Outstanding Negro Stu- dents. 22 ACTIVITIES
