High school
days hold precious memories for all of us in
AHS 53. Those were the days of high hopes,
untold dreams and immortal innocence. Those
were the days of true friendships and bonds
spanning the decades.
We remember
that academics seemed secondary, yet we did
learn profound and eternal lessons to last a
lifetime. We remember the sights of the
school: a weathered brick building, R.B.
Norman’s sour countenance balanced by the
wonderful bluster of Bull Lynch, wonderful
art sprinkled through our building, Kid Day,
and old wooden halls freshly oiled. We
remember the aromas: cafeteria rolls, a
sweaty gym building, a forbidden cigarette’s
smoke, the day’s chemistry experiment
delivered to our cafeteria.
We enjoyed
sounds: 33 RPM records, band and orchestra,
multiple choirs, slow dances at sock hops
and cotillions. We remember the trends of
our times: hot rods, duck tails, flat tops,
poodle skirts and saddle oxfords. We
remember what seemed important at the time:
sports, welcome weekends, seeing and being
seen.
We regret the
passing of important places: Stanley’s, the
Paramount, the Double Dip, the Hub,
Colbert’s, White and Kirk and a hundred
other wonderful rendezvous places which are
erased everywhere but in our fond memories.
Friendships were formed and bonds tied our
class together…in truth and in our
memories…forever.
