Taking up much of our spare time, A.H.S activities are varied to suit individual interests. Although some occasions seem frivolous, much of their fun and value come from planning and preparing. The speech club’s unique idea of making money for tournaments by holding a Hootenanny was pop¬ ular among students and town’s people, alike. Out- of-town talent gave it a professional atmosphere. Homecoming gives a chance for us to work for our own class in the competition and to work together as a school for half-time entertainment and the dance. Although the choir and bands have regular classes, they are activity groups also, practicing and perform¬ ing outside of school time. Each student feels pride in his group when he plays in a concert or sings for some occasion. Promoting school spirit is the purpose of the Spirit and Morale committee of rally girls, pepsters, and interested students. Class plays give only brief glory but most of the employment comes from the weeks of practice and preparation. These many projects provide opportunities for every interested student to work for his school or some organi2ation within the school 25
