w lr was on inreresring experience, ond ir was fun ro see who was going wirh who. Sreve Wolfe Knights got Rhythm With Friday school time ac- tivities over, we were ready for the game against West, Friday, October 4. West led from the onset and by halftime the Knights were down 14- 0. Halftime activities included the queen and her court being an- nounced and escorted to the 50- yard line. The Knight Kompany dancers performed, Jungle Love to get the crowd enthused for the rest of the game. The second half proved to be a little better for the optimistic Knights. In the third quarter, they drove down-field to the West 10- yard line. On the fourth down, Ce- drick Rashall jumped for the score. A two point conversion attempt failed, leaving the score 14-6. Late in the fourth quarter, the Knights succeeded in getting close to the goal line, but a blocked pass in the end zone as time ran out, ended all hope of a Homecoming win. A new twist to Homecoming events was a party for the alumni after the game. It was sponsored by the Alumni Association, a group formed in June of 1985. About 300 people showed up for the party held in the cafe until 1 a.m., planned to be an annual event. As Friday turned into Saturday, it was time to think of the upcoming dance. The cafe was decorated by Student Council members or other students. Red, white, and black crepe paper was hung ev- erywhere and a red carpet led up to the steps from the entrance. Sil- ver notes and balls were hung from the ceiling. Styles for the guys included sportcoats and full pin-striped suits. The girls were outfitted in different styles of dresses ranging from satin and taffeta to sweater dresses. Not much alcohol was con- sumed before the dance due largely to the efforts of the school. A film on drunk driving was shown during school the Thursday before the dance. The theme of the dance was Rhythm of the Knight. Dee-jay Mike Fox, a former debate coach at AHS was hired for the night. This lowered ticket prices from 15 dol- lars to 10. There was a wide range of music played, from songs by Billy Idol and Madonna, to slow songs by Bryan Adams and Journey.
