OPEN HOUSE
SATURDAY - JUNE 21, 2014

Over 600 Colts attended the 17th annual Alumni Association Open House. The Alumni Board hosted the event and provided refreshments. The event was held in the new AHS Cafeteria.

The Alumni Band brought back memories with a traditional favorite - "The Horse" and the fight song and Alma Mater never sounded better! The Class of 1964 attended the Open House as part of their 50th Reunion.



Alumni members of the Choraliers along with Dinah Memger, performed, "You'll Never Walk Alone". Miss Ellis sat in front of the choir and - nodded her approval. Earlier in the program, MIss Elis gave a refresher course on how to sing the Fight Song!

Scholarship recipients were introduced and congratulated for receiving a $1,000 alumni scholarship award.
