Rural Augusta County abounds in fields of mature corn in the fall. MUMMY HELP! Swathed in cloth, Mal Livick makes off with a victim. Tom White and the second Mummy, Keith Sterling, picks up a panicked Bill Huegel. Nothing is quite like the night of ghouls and witches. That’s especially true when there are mummies, Draculas, skeletons, and coffins with bodies in them. Officers of ‘‘F”’ company put on a real show for the Lower School men. Each youngster is shown thru the chamber of horrors with a record player going full blast with screams, owls, and moans filling the air. After that introduction to the spirit of the night, bobbing for apples seems rather tame. But there is always cider, ginger snaps, and candy to calm everyone down. October — 17 0 (Seventh Graders)

Seventh Grade HONOURING DEAD Armistice Day at AMA is always celebrated on the 11th of November, even if there are ceremonies everywhere else on other days and dates. Every year the corps gathers on the black top at exactly 11 am to celebrate not only the end of World War I, but to honor the dead of its wars in the 20th century. Delivering the address in 1973 was Col. David Rapp, a member of the faculty who had been a U.S. Marine. George Rese Skip Medeiros Tom Michael Andy Miller Cadets were happy that the added Charles Pebbles Henry Roberts John Robinson Nat Turner tradition, a parade in Harrisonburg, had remained. For some it meant meals and movies. For others dates and dodging faculty officers. John New (Armistice Day) 1 18 — November (Seventh Graders)
