Ti.me by Taleigha Tamayo From beginning to end Homecoming week was a time of wild fun. This was a time when the whole school came together fired up and filled with spirit ready to show their pride. To get the week going on Sunday, October 16, the AHS student body decorated the halls with sheets, posters, and streamers. After the halls were loaded with school spirit, every­ one headed to the Assumption practice field to watch the senior and junior girls collide as they battled to win the annual powderpuff game. The junior team won. The next big event came Wednesday with the bonfire. Stu­ dents anxiously awaited the announcement of the 1994 Home­ coming Queen. The cheerleaders charged up the crowd, the KKD kept the mood energized and then the intense moment came; the crowning of the queen, Lindsay Hammes. Later, the AHS student body encircled a blazing bonfire as the varsity football team captains got the crowd fired up with spirit. Lindsay Hammes said, "I had a great time, this is a night I will never forget." Above : Senior football players pose for a picture .

There were some games that certain students got picked to do. Jessi Manley stated, "Since everyone knows that Brian and I don't get along very well, it was a great honor to be picked to smash chocolate covered marshmallows in his face." To top it all off the football players did a dance taught by the KKD captains, Melissa Kane and Cindy Hughes. The football players had a chance to show off their dancing abilities.

Our faith in God is what set us aside from our local schools . Each morning there was mass in the chapel at 7: 15. Also, every morning first period began with a prayer welcoming God into our day. We had several masses throughout the year. The major masses were at Thanksgiving and Christ­ mas. Easter was also a great celebration . We had reconciliation twice this year. Our faith didn't just involve going to mass. Once a year each class is involved in a retreat that the N.E.T. team runs. Throughout the day we participated in skits, played games , and organized a class mass. Assumption joined together as a commu­ nity of believers. This special bond makes As­ sumption what we are.

By The Ti.me Thi.s Kni.ght Is Over Below: Senior and junior Turnabout couples anxiously await the big dance . by Taleigha Tamayo The Student Council held the annual Turnabout dance on January 21. The scene was set with streamers , balloons, and good tunes ; now all the cafe needed was the students. To set the night in motion most couples had pictures taken at their houses, and then headed to dinner. After dinner the dance was the place to be! Dimmed lights and wild dancing couples flooded the dance floor. Fast and slow music expressed the overall mood for the evening . "I've never had so much fun at a dance! Jumping around and just letting loose added to the dance excitement ," said Sophomore Ellie Hoeg. A quietness hushed the room as the ten candidates were escorted by their dates. The ten Turnabout candidates were Tony Bradley, Duffy Conroy , Andy Craig, Ben Driscoll , Art Gillespie, Mark Norton, Jim Ryder, Ryan Sunderbruch, Sean Whalen, and the 1995 Turnabout King, Kevin Prior. Surprised, Kevin gave a short speech, of course doing his best impression of Jim Carey which he is known for. The big night came and went, but for all who attended Turn­ about '95 the memories will last forever. Above : Erin Missel and Shannon Wagner have a great time with their good friend Jerry Kelly.
