Such manners. 3What do you want Parmer? 4-AGDITORr MOT€9 This year's book turned out to be quite a story for the Class of 76. Without the help of Miss Wondra. our advisor, there never would have been a yearbook. A lot of time and creativeness goes into it and I'd like to thank Miss Wondra for her time, patience, and assistance. Special thanks is also extended to Mr. Cornwell, our photography director, the school for purchasing a camera, and all the staff members for putting their time in to make a successful year for the 1976 Annual.. The survey which listed your favorites and took us hours to tally up as well as the sports records were added to our book this year in hopes that when you look back in your yearbook a year or ten years from now. you will be able to say ''1976 was a very good year!" Since the Annual is financed totally through funds raised by the Annual Staff, the selling of ads is a necessity. This can prove to be hectic and disappointing at times, however this year's staff stayed right in there and kept on selling ads. A special thanks goes to all staff members who went out and sold ads as well as to those who bought the ads. Businesses who bought half page ads made it just that much easier. Helgesens extended a special service to our staff's finances by providing a day's worth of pictures with no charge. Money was also raised by selling hot dogs and by having a car wash in the Spring. Both time and effort were put into these jobs, and as a result, we earned the money needed for the 1976 Annual. I'd like to thank the staff, our advisor, and everyone else who helped to make the 1976 AHS Annual possible. 6DGDIG1TION The class of 1976 would like to dedicate "This Year's Story to Robert White and his State Cross-Country Champs. Much of the excitement and memories of the past year were due to his direction and involvement in the school's activities. Mr. White has been a great help to our class, and to the entire school. He put in many hours working with the students' schedules, helping individuals decide on after-graduation plans, but he was never too busy to talk with anyone. Mr. White has been a wonderful friend, teacher, and counselor all through our high school years. The senior class would like to congratulate Robert White and the Championship Cross-Country Team, wish them much success in the future, and thank them for playing an important part in This Year's Story.

The card catalogs have been completed allowing students to find more materials on their own. Under the direction of Mrs. Kris Hanson, the Library moves closer to fulfilling the state Library standards by providing more materials and allowing students to put these materials to more serious use.

A new world, a new life, awaits us; a far more challenging world, yet one in which there will be many difficulties. We hold many pleasant memories of our years at Albany: The freshman dances. Drivers Education, the many field trips as class activities, our Junior Prom, the Senior Class chili supper, working in the snack bar. sports events, etc. as well as the friends and teachers who will always play an important part in our future endeavors. Though memories sometimes fade, we the class of 1976, will never forget those years in which we learned, shared, and grew in stature and in mind. As everyone awaits the coming of the dawn, we too. readily await the new experiences before us. We await our beginning. 43JUNIOR?.

The Juniors are also beginning to start planning for their futures. Since it is the end of their third year, they are starting to decide what careers they will choose. They are beginning to work towards that goal in this society. Even if there is only one year left to finish, it will still be the hardest and most meaningful year of all. Quite the Brutt!

The High School days that they have been looking forward to for so long were finally here. High School was a rather big change for them. They had to get used to new teachers, classes, activities, and hardest of all. they had to get used to study habits. The freshmen class, however, soon proved that they could fit right into high school life. They are beginning to start on some money raising projects in order to start a treasury for use their senior year. All-in-all, through their grades, talents, and enthusiasm, they have shown that they can be a welcome addition at Albany High School.

Baby," a musical comedy based on the novel by Bram Stoker was presented by the Music Department under the direction of Ms. Anderson, Ms. Zimmerman, and Mr. Cornwell. The leading role of Count Dracula was played by Dave Dowden. Other cast members were: Tami Black as the Nurse, Roger Flood as Dr. Seward. Ken Purdy and Tom Webb as Renfield, Connie Steindorf as Lucy, Dan Black as Arthur, Carl Schlapbach as Prof. Van Helsing. "Dracula. Baby?' was filled with noise, yelling, and laughter. The production, filled with chaos, had serious scenes as well but only to be followed by another widely farcical scene. The hard work of the cast, as well as the lighting crew, makeup, props, programs, and advertisements paid off. "Dracula, Baby" is a farce designed to make people laugh. This goal was truly achieved as shown in the audience's response. CAST CREW: Front Row; J. Pryce, B. Koepp, D. Keepers, R. Keegan. K. Binder, J. Elmer. Second Row. K. Purdy, L. Schlapbach, T.

Student Council members spent many hours in the gym decorating for this big event prior to the Homecoming Dance. On the evening of Homecoming the gym was beautifully decorated with paper streamers and an attractive mural. The efforts of the Student Council had truly paid off in their decorations for this year's Homecoming. Everyone who attended the dance enjoyed a wide variety of music provided by the band. Couples danced till midnight and then went out to eat. The theme. MV LITTLE TOWN, played an important part for the students of Albany High School, and applied so well.

Coach Bob White and his Cross-Country Team entered the State Meet level and brought home the second State Championship in 5 years. Albany has been in State Meets 7 times in the past 15 years. Albany's participation at State Meet level in 1975, moved Albany to 9th, on all-time list of schools making it through through tournament series to State level out of all 300 schools sponsoring cross country. The team ranked second in State Class "C" each week of the season behind Loyal. They ended up first in State with Loyal second. In their championship season, the comets were the Beloit Trogan Invitational Runner-ups, Al-Hi Relay Invitational champions. Dodgeville Invitational Runner-ups, Mountain Goat Invitational champions, WIAA Regional champions. WIAA Sectional Runner-up. and WIAA State Champions. Coach White was voted "Wisconsin Cross-Country Coach of the Year" by the members of the State Coaches Association.

BOYS’ TG IM SHOWS D€TQMIMTION The Boys’ Varsity Basketball Team started out the first part of the season with a 3-4 record. This record was already better than the last two years wins put together. Along with their coach, Mr. Gross, the team set out trying to have a .500 season, and having all players back next year should make the record even better. Of the games lost, most were by five or less points. But, compared to the other teams, we had the youngest squad in the State Line League. Albany had an "older” Jr. Varsity team than it did a Varsity Squad. What the fellas seemed to lack in experience they made up for with determination. Many nights it was the latter that allowed them to close the gap. only to have their inexperience preserve a victory for an opponent. The Jr. Varsity this year had a new coach. Mr. Zemke. They started their first part of the season by winning at least half of their games. The 1976 season was a promising, rebuilding year for the two squads. Next year shows great promise for the returning team members. JR. VARSITY: R. Althaus, M. Bandi, K. Flood. J. Mauerman. B. Ham-mon, R. Hammon, J. Kennedy. B.

GIRL ) CRUTCH THROUGH 9CHTOM The girls' basketball team started out slow this year with many defeats, but learning from those mistakes. This year the J.V. received a new coach, Miss Dougoveto who helped with a lot of encouragement and advice. She also took some of the load off the Varsity coach, Mrs. Sherwin. Through the whole season there were at least six girls on crutches. Getting them all back on their feet was sure a help to the team. Although the girls were usually outdone by points, they held a good defense. Blocked shots, steals, and fast breaks, made most of the games very exciting. Next year the team will lose 3 seniors: Christy Flood, DeEtte Runaas, and K. Binder. These girls played all four years of high school, helping the teams during those years. 87wesneK expeRiGNce succewuL Tehran Foreground: T. Robinson. B. Brugger. Back Row: Mr. Volkman. R. Paul, W.

Their matches were very intensifying as you watched the team led by captain, Dave Dowden, take match after match. A lot of people played important parts in making this season such a success for the Albany Grapplers. For one thing, the comet team took on a new look with a female manager, DeEtte Runaas. which might be one reason why the team did so well. The wrestlers once again hosted the Albany Invitational bringing in 3rd. place out of 9 teams. The Wrestling team really looked impressive this year. We'll really miss the seniors next year, but with our returning veterans and the new faces that will come up from Jr. High, we should have a very promising season again next year. 88WR0TFLING CHGCCLGrfDGK Left to Right: J.

Mr. Charles Hallmark works with individual students or groups of students in order to aid them in the understanding and comprehension of the various scientific experiments undertaken by the science students. CHrfRlTO HrfLLNd k JUNIOR HIGH TOC. S'TUDIGS' Since this is the 200th Birthday of our nation, the Jr. High Social Studies Classes dealt with the Bicentennial theme as well as the normal class curriculum. Under the instruction of Mr. Terry Astin, students are educated in the areas of civics and United States Studies. Government, Economics, Anthro pology. History, Political Science, and other areas of Social Studies are cov ered. These courses laid the foundation for further study in the Social Studies areas at the high school level.

This year they had their own coach, Mr. Kraus, and were separate from the High School team. They had regular practice each night after school during their wrestling season and also competed against other area Jr, High teams. 97GIGHTH GMDG B kGTB LL The Albany 7th and 8th grade teams for 1975 were different but yet alike in many ways. The biggest differences being that the 7th graders had a 7-1 record while the 8th graders a 1-7 record. The 7th grade team possessed much natural talent and basketball instinct, whereas the 8th graders had to work hard for whatever success they obtained. Even though the records weren't the same the teams were alike in the fact that they never gave up. After hours of practice, joys and disappointments and regardless of the won-loss records, the 1975 Jr. High Basketball season was a success. 98 1 CHEERLEADERS: P. Muralt. D. Martin. R. Marx, L.

TGOGK’ rtlM 108 Charlotte Briggs Harriet Heitzman9P€CML PROGMM9 Julie Barribeau Title I Mary Joanis Speech Therapy Clareda Neunchwander Reading Teacher Albany's Title I project’s goal is to provide a successful start for every child in the first few years in school. Starting at the time of Pre-Kindergarten screening, tests and observations are made to determine if a child may have special learning needs. The Title I workshop is a very important aspect of our school as it meets the needs of individual children for whom the program is geared. Our Language, Speech, and Hearing Therapist examines, appraises, and diagnoses the speech, voice, and language behavior of children who experience difficulty with these functions. and provides remedial services for them according to their respective needs. Speech Therapy is concerned with the speaker as a person, as well as the speakers important listeners. The role of the reading teacher is to work with the classroom teacher in identifying and selecting the children who are not working up to their fullest capacity in reading. They select children who already have a deficiency in reading ability or who have problems that make them high risk failures for learning to read. The reading teacher schedules with the classroom teachers, the times best suited for each child or small group to come to the "Workshop." Time ranges from 30-50 minutes of one to one or small group instruction on the daily basis. The chief goal of the reading teacher is to work with the classroom teacher to get the student back to the mainstream of classroom instruction. 109rfDVOTNNG 110CONGMTUMTIOM9 9€MOR9 9GMIOR PrtRQW Mr. and Mrs. John Aeschliman Mrs. Harline Ardisson Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Binder Mr. and Mrs. Dave Black Mr. and Mrs. John Blumer Mr. and Mrs. Roger Brugger Mr. and Mrs. Albert Briggs Mr. and Mrs. David Dowden, Sr. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Elmer Mr. and Mrs. Paul Elmer.
