'homecoming spirit' captured by seniors Spirit ran high during homecoming week. The seniors received a spirit helmet for buying the most inches of spirit from the cheerleaders. For the Dr. Suess theme, the pep club held stomp on Viking day , when students wore all kinds of boots; cat in the hat day , when crazy hats were worn, and a car bash was held by the A-club. Although the spirit carried the Bulldogs through the week, they couldn't outscore the Vikings. The Bulldogs concluded the game with a tight 7-6 loss. Denis Lessor and Karen Aufenkamp were crowned king and queen of the homecoming festivities. Mud Creek provided the entertainment at the homecoming dance. CLOCKWISE STARTING AT LEFT: ‘Seniors, Dave Helms and Ray Luhring break the Homecoming arch. ‘Terry Jodry, Steve Milam, Kirk Warden and Rick Cole give King Denis Lessor a rousing hand after his crowning. 25

cheerleaders strive for AHS involvement During the 1974-75 athletic seasons, cheerleaders strived to gain more spirited involvement from students. They aroused enthusiasm with ideas incorporated into unique posters and spirit boosting projects they brought from summer camp. Some of the ideas used at rallies were “Dorothy in victory land , the evolution of cheerleaders , and a contest between wrestlers and basketball players to see who could build the best spirit machine. The wrestlers won the contest. On homecoming eve, the cheerleaders and some pep club members delivered posters to the homes of each football player. Neither vicious dogs nor muddy country roads stopped them from distributing the posters. Though the cheerleaders encountered many challenges that arise in promoting spirit, their endeavors were regarded with increased support from fans. CLOCKWISE STARTING BELOW: ‘Varsity cheerleaders, Kay Hamann, Brenda Holding, Sue Sparr, Joni Sherwood and Ruth Fass, wish the team “Good Luck! ‘Cindy Bergmann, Terri Majors and Janet Myers encourage AHS wrestlers with pep. ‘Reserve cheerleaders, Kay McCormick, Pam Casey, Judi Vosberg and Lori Zech arouse enthusiasm from the pep club during a game.
