S wanner, Morgan Chosen as '91 Queens By Mysty Blalock The student council and varsity cheerleaders united to bring AHS a great homecoming.

Then came the night of the game. With the score close, the crowd was ready for a wonderful half time ceremony. Adrian Dennis, Danny Landis, Dion Brooks, and Antwan Duncan escorted the sponsors on to the field to homecoming’s theme song "You Are So Beautiful." The crowd was quiet as Gary Moran announced the Homecoming Court. Junior Court included Kim Smith and Leslie Boyd. The Saiior Court was comprised of Leah Hill and Peaches Bums. The Homecoming Queens were Angie Morgan and Alicia Swanner. When the girls were escorted to the front, Ashley Burleson and Emily Stonesteet gave the the Court roses.

College Night will soon be here! There is a new twist to College Day this year. It will be held November 14 from 7:00-8:00 PM in the school cafeteria. This is the night many seniors and juniors will meet with college admissions representa tives to decide which college they are interested in. Students can talk to the representatives and learn many things about that college. The college atmosphere, financial aid, scholarships, and majors offered are just some of the information students can gather from representatives. Both seniors and juniors will be encouraged to visit the college campuses. The importance of College Night is different for juniors and seniors. Seniors are making their final decisions as they talk to the representatives. This is probably the last chance they will get to look at all their choices. The juniors are taking their firstreal look at acollege that interests them. They will not be making any final decisions, but they will look at College Night very seriously. The importance of College Night should stay in the minds of all students. As the college rq>- resentatives come from all over the state to talk to AHS students, we should take this chance to learn all we can about furthering our education. College Night is the time to do this. Leslie didn't realize college applications were so time-consuming!
