The varsity Trojans slaugh- tered Potomac with an impressive score of 95-45. Couples danced to the pleasur- able sounds of “Coin’ Strong.” The band played to the theme Probably, Always, Will which set the precedent for the lovely fall decorations.

Cheerleaders: Top Cindy Hemming; 2nd row Melanie Turner, Detina McCaus- land, and Rhonda McElhoe; Bottom Carol Williams. Both Junior Varsity and Varsity Cheerleaders did a fantastic job this year. With the support of a great crowd and a lot of hard work they stood behind the Trojans at every ballgante with pep and spirit. The cheerleaders do more than cheer at ballgames, they conduct the pep rallies, deco- rate lockers, fix the ballplay- ers a breakfast, and work along with student council on Homecoming weekend. The Varsity Cheerleaders also participated in a cheer- leading camp during the sum- mer bringing back cheers and routines they had learned. It must have helped because they got 4th place out of 16 squads at the county tourna- ment.

AHS sopho- more, Anna Carley, was elected Recreation Chairman. The week of February 5 was National FHA Week. Some of the designated days during the week included Red White Day, Teacher Appreciation Day, and Insecurity Day.
