During halftime of the Albemarle-West Stanly football game, Holli Brafford and Kesha Wall were named as homecoming queens. Beth Childress and Diane Brooks were honored as senior court, and Genny Hayden and Lori Maiden were honored as junior court. The theme for Homecoming '89 was "One Moment in Time." Escorts for the halftime event wereTravis Morehead, Tim Burris, Marcus Huneycutt, and Dion Brooks. Sponsoring the homecoming festivities were the varsity cheerleaders and their coach, Ms. Lynne Terry. Jason Wagoner constructed and painted the hourglass for the homecoming decorations. The Albemarle High Band provided the music for the event. These festivities were the culmination of homecoming spirit week which started Oct. 2 and ended on Oct. 6. Starting on Wednesday, students were encouraged to sport their favorite college on their shirts or shorts. Thursday was camouflage day, when some students wore shorts or shirts while others dressed from head to toe in fatigues. Friday was blue and white day to show school spirit for the upcoming game. A pep rally for the footbaU players was held at 2:30 P.M. on Friday for the fmale of the school day. This festivity involved representatives of each class participating in games and races, with the seniors taking the final victory. The highlight of the aftemoon came when Coach Jake Stewart and cheerleader Lori Maiden had to kiss a real live, squirming baby pig. These two won this "privilege" by collecting the most money in their jars during lunch. On Friday night, after the Bulldogs were victorious over the Colts, 21-0, student coimcil sponsored a homecoming dance which started immediately after the game and ended at twelve. Holshouser Family Establishes Attendance Award for Albemarle City Schools By Bill Snyder' Sara Holshouser and her children, Suzanne and Ross, have established an attendance award in manory of their husband and father, Sam, who was tragically killed in July. The Sam Holshouser Memorial Attendance Award will be given each year to the student at Albemarle High School who has the mostyears of consecu tive perfect attendance. The recipient will re ceive $100 per year of perfect attendance. The award can posibly be worth $1,300, if the stu dent has never missed a day of school. This will be a cash award, to be used as the recipient wishes. Sam Holshouser himself achieved perfect attendance (12 years), and just this past June, had the pleasure of yjresenting to his son Ross an award for 13 years perfect attendance. Because both father and son achieved such an amazing goal, the family feels that an attendance award will be most appropriate to honor Sam. Albemarle City Schools extend sincere ap preciation to the Holshouser family in establish ing this award for our students. A Sam Holshouser and his son Ross both achieved the unbelievable feat of never missing a day of school. Mrs. Sara Holshouser will award a check to the AHS senior with the most consecutive perfect attendance years. Brett, Bill, and Matt are preparing for local interviews on October 29. ^ ^ ^ You Get More Than You Pay For By Beth Childress you meet that deadline, Mr. Holt? One of the most treasured memories of each school year is the annual. The yearbook staff is working hard to make this year’s book the best ever. The price of the annual this year will be $25.00.
