"If you start pushing your own limits, that is when you get hurt." Just because this is a student-built house doesn't mean it isn't taken seriously. "We have had an inspector in at every step," Barber said. "When we got the footings done they came in and they will be back when the framing fram-ing is complete."

Coached by veteran Tiffany Tif-fany Miller, 42 members make up the versatile team which will perform with the award-winning AFHS marching band this season. "The strength of the team this year is our unity." said Miller, who has also directed color guard teams at West Jordan and Mountain Crest high schools. "Our large numbers num-bers mean extra work at being be-ing unified and together in everything, but also make us more flashy and colorful on the field." The color guard is known for its rigorous practice schedule. sched-ule. Beside a class period on alternate days of school, they regularly work out four days a week after school. This summer sum-mer they devoted an entire week working on movement caveman Varsity Cavemen ready to battle Lone Peak Knights Morgan Porter mopih r outr ' sv.ii This week is the week that American Fork football fans have been waiting for ever since football season began. Tomorrow night our varsity boys will take on the Lone Peak Knights, and if all goes well, will come home singing "Dear Old A.F.

It promises to be a good game, with both teams undefeated unde-feated in region play, and only one loss a piece on the season, so make sure to be there supporting sup-porting our troops Friday night at 7 at Lone Peak High School. Enough about snorts though; it's time to talk about drama. The Drama Department went to Cedar City last weekend to compete com-pete in the Utah Shakespearean Festival and tied for first place.

Just a reminder: Do not procrastinate. Not to freak you out girls, but many young ladies have already al-ready asked and you don't want to be left out, do you? Nobody likes to sit at home alone while the rest of the school parties the night away. If you can't think of a cute, crafty way to ask your dream guy, simply go up to him and ask him straightforward. He will be happy that he got asked, after he gets over the initial shock, of course. Finally, the month of October means one thing to small children: chil-dren: Free candy. And that's exactly what they'll get if you bring them to Halloween Hallways at the high school on Halloween.
