Halloween ‘meal’ reveals talents October air creates entertainment while play, costume dance coincide In came October. Students had begun to get into the swing of things — Mondays, homework, morning announcements, Mrs. Francis'English class. A deadly epidemic of routine swept the school. And, in fact, the cure didn't real- ly come until later on in the month. But it came in large doses. On October 17, 18, and 19, the drama department performed The Man Who Lame to Dinner. At the last moment, a cast member was taken out of the show, another victim of no-pass, no-play. Understudy Danny Blackshear was called in to take the part of Dr. Bradley. At 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17, the curtain rose. How would it be? Good? Bad? Would the janitors be cleaning fresh vegetables up off the stage? How could it have been anything but good? After all, it was AFlS! The play was excellent and the cast was really talented. I did not know how well some of the people in our school could act, Jennifer Brett said. Friday the 18th also saw the Masquerade Dance. From 8-12, AHS was crawling with people such as G. I. Joe, Peter Rabbit, The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Chaplin, food ol' Uncle Jed, and even Dee nidcr. Most everyone was dressed up, Wendy Warner said. That's what was good about it because that's what the dance was for.

Colts cheered through performances by the drill team, band, and through the ex- citement of sophomore Stacey Beasley's baton-twirling.
