"I have been deeply blessed by God with my brothers in AGO. I have learned to excel in leadership and open up to others through AGO." - Al Fannin A II during the 1989-1990 school year, Alpha Gamma Omega social club looked for every opportunity to get together for fellowship. The club's activities began in the spring of 1989 with its participation in all sports, which included a second-place championship in bowling. A favorite annual event was the club's "Hobo Stew" outing. There members mixed devotionals with a meal, and sports such as volleyball and basketball. Just as things seemed to be calming down, Spring Sing came upon AGO as it joined several other clubs in dressing like rabbits for their first-place production, "An Easter Eggstravaganza." The semester concluded with the spring formal banquet held at the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock. The guys enjoyed a delicious buffet and said goodbye to graduating members. AGO was ready for the next fall. The club demonstrated its dedication to service by transporting speakers from Little Rock as the Lectureship Shuttle Service during the Harding Annual Lectureship and the World Missions Workshop. Mixers began immediately, and after a demanding pledge week, nine new members were added to AGO's membership list. The final night of pledge week, the new members were treated to a hayride at Lavon Carter's farm. Sports once again played a major role in the activities for AGO, as the Front row: Roger Witty, Kristi Long, Al Fannin, Regina Campbell, Brice Carrell; Second row: Ronnie Long, Kirk Lawson, Darren Bonham, Paul Shields, Gordon Womble; Third row: Eric Dunlap, Jimmy Powell, David Brock, David Hadley, Bernie McAleese; Back row: Rex Nowell, Mark Rodriguez, Barry Baggett, David Bailey, Jonathan Picklesiner. - Photo by Sharon Bowles. 228 Endless Friendships club competed well in all fall sports.

The spring semester brought more activity, one of the highlights being the annual Hobo Stew, to which all small men 's clubs were invited for the first time. AGO president Al Fannin said, "I have been deeply blessed in AGO. I have learned to excel in leadership and open up to others through AGO. I'll always be grateful to God for blessing me with some of the greatest friendships I'll ever have." - Phillip Tucker WHEN BIG D SPEAKS . .
