\tThe AHS lobby was transformed to a land of trees, greenery, and ferns to fit the theme of this year’s Homecoming dance, “Journey to the Jungle.”

\r\n

There were tikis and life-size animals including a rhino, lion, zebra, and gorilla. Construction Trades students under the direction of Mr. Chris Felger built a working waterfall.

The king and queen were crowned at the Homecoming game against Salem, which the Aviators won with a score of 70-40. Tony Young was crowned king and Morgan Davis queen.
