Oct. 7 A day to come home Spirits were searing as the pep rally got under way. AHS parents and alumni joined the students in giving their team encouragement before the big game. The senior girls, dressed in togas, and an ape were both a part of the 1983 senior skit, Animal House . Gabe from 97X was also part of the festivities as he disc jockeyed the senior tape. The football team kicked off the weekend with a game against the Clinton River Kings. The Knights put up a good fight, but the River Kings triumphed 13-7. Halftime activities included crowning of the home- coming queen, the Knight Kompany Dancers, and the marching band and chorus joining together to per- form I Sing The Body Electric. The homecoming festivities were dedicated to the memory of Dennis Viktora, member of the class of 1984, who died in 1982.
