We have all heard of Bulldog heroes and all of their accomjdishments. As I took a look back at AHS* legends, I realized tfiat the class of 1989 had more super stars than any other recent class. These AHS haU of famers left quite an impression on the memories of friends and teachers. They have done the same to everyone they have met over the past four years. This raises the question, “What are they doing now?” The legendary Palmer Brown was not only an outstanding basketball player and track star, but he was also a Morehead Scholar and president of the student body his senior year. In addition, he was the first person in North Carolina to be selected for the Scholar Athlete of The Year Award. Palmer graduated form Carolina in May of '93 and now attends University of Virginia Law School. Paul Childress was one of AHS's greatest basketball players of all time. His leadership on the court got him nominated for McDonald’s All-American High School Basketball Team. His basketball skills got him a scholarship to East Carolina University. Later Paul transferred to Pfieffer and graduated with honors. Paul is now engaged to Brooke Young, a P.E. teacher at AMS. He is currently employed at Wachovia Bank. All-American cheerleader Mary Kay Page also showed her outstanding abilities on the track. Her senior year she won the Cross Country title of All-State. She was also awarded the honor of being 1988 Homecoming Queen. Mary Kay continued her education at Appalachian State University whae she cheered. Ross Holshouser is another oive of the class of ’89 greats. Not only was he a leader on the basketball court, but he was also senior class vice president Ross also made it through his school career with perfect attendance. These days, Ross is employed with Coke and has recently wed Teiri Harkey. Everyone has heard the famous name Kricket Morton. Kricket was known for her excellent basketball skills. Her senior year she was Albemarle High School’s all time leading scorer with 1,000 points. Her golf skills also gave her high prestige as an athlete. She also proved her leadership skills off the court by being her senior class treasurer. Kricket is now earning her second degree at the College of Charleston. The Full Moon staff would like to con gratulate these people for their lifetime achievements. They have been role models for many students through the years. This shows you can reach your goals if you strive to be the best. pgyi Childress on duty at Wachovia. Runners, Get Movin'!! by Jill Story H«ath«r anticipates a hard practic*.

I !Hapmj 1994 I Ideas On Ice by Michele Smith Basketball, wrestling, and indoor track, don’t get me wrong, these are ^at sports but the same ol’ sports tend to get rather dull. I think that it is about time that AHS explores some new sports. What better time than winter! We all know that Chrlssy dreams of being an Ice-skater. snow and ice is the perfect place for some fun filled entertainment As I talked to some of AHS students, they all agreed that it was time for a change. Here are some of the ideas that they had in mind. -Leigh Ann Mills - Snow Skiing Team -Edward Davis - Swedish Bikini Team -Micheal Payne - Ice Hockey -Keondra Drye and Crissy Smith - Ice Skating -Joe Caple and Doyle Rowan - Ice Wrestling (Co-Ed of course!) -Felicia Sturdivant - Dog sled racing -Stqshen Anderson - Sid lift bungee -Scott Anderson - I’m sportless!

Off to a Good Start by Jeffrey P. Nahrgang Only six weeks into the season, the wrestling team has made great improvements and is getting better every day. With a 50-18 win over East Montgomery, the Bulldogs started their season off with a bang. Practices now consist of less conditioning, but there is still plenty of live wrestling. The live wrestling and mat time is what is needed for someone to become a better wrestler. With four tournaments and ten matches, the team hopes to dominate duals and win the tournaments. Winning the State Dual Team Tournament, Regionals, and the State Tounu- ment are some goals the Bulldogs are working to accomplish. The team is still practicing in the aixlitorium, but arrangements are being made to move them to another place. The team is young with some first year wrestlers, but they are work ing hard and winning the matches. Experienced wrestlers such as Antonio Brown, Kevin Lam bert, PJ Kluttz, Matt "Phat” Hudson and Jeff Nahrgang are providing the leadership and expe rience in practices and matches. These young grapi^ers, along with former AHS wrestlers Rich Myers and Don Cole, are helping Coach Akins in practices with teaching the young guys moves and technique. Come on out and support your Bulldog wrestling team. 1 S. L Kevin dominates his man. PIT: Jam Session! by Jill It’s finally that time of year again!!
