Art Department, under the direction of Mr. Lawrence Mannlein, made great strides this year in creating an atmosphere for creative achievement. One of the major accomplishments was the move from South High to the Voc. lid. building. This change of location provides larger working and storage areas. Two new kilns (pottery and raku) and a glaze closet gave students a broader range to work in with different pottery methods. Other media included in the total art program were acrylic and watercolor painting, woodblock printing, papier mache, macrame drawing (pencil and ink), mural painting, mobiles, and sculpture. This year for the first time the charter was drawn up and A.H.S. Art Club was formed. The club organized a two week show in the high school library and was instrumental in setting up the all school spring show in May. A two day Art Club field trip to Denver included a visit to the Denver Art Museum, dinner at the Casa Bonita restaurant, and a Laserium show.

This Pullitzer Prize winning play contains moments of intense pain, sadness, and loneliness, but is essentially hopeful in that it shows that hope and love can grow from the most desperate conditions.

Not only are the traditional courses in American, British, and world literature offered, but students may take mini courses in reading, grammar, and creative writing to aid in communications.

History students show rapt attention to the past. k V A “Better start cracking Scott; remember you’re in English class! ” The Social Studies Department is frequently referred to as the History Department. It is much more than just a department teaching the history of man and America. This is an important part of the curriculum, as the man who refuses to learn from history is bound to commit the same mistakes as those in the past. However, students are offered a wide range of courses other than history. Sociology, Economics, Modern Problems, American Government, Culture Courses, Communist World, Civic Responsibility, and Consumer Economics are a few. This department concentrates much of its energies toward helping the student understand the society in which he lives. 32Les Nepper and Tom Fawcett take note from Ms. Leever in journalism.

Science is a creative activity, a continuous search for truth as students learn more about themselves and the universe in which they live. Students are challenged to understand the basic principles of science, so they can prepare to live in a time of rapid scientific advancement. Students may study different areas of science such as: biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, earth, and general. Taking tests in Math tax students’ minds. Math Students Sum Up Knowledge Individualized Math lets the student work at his own speed. It introduces a repsonsibility and a new challenge for each individual. A person can work better and learn more if he can organize himself in his own way. Traditional Math is still here for students who feel that they cannot hold the responsibility or do not want a challenge in the world of Math. Willow Krause igniting dangerous chemical.

To condition themselves physically, boys participate in conditioning drills, flag football, soccer, basketball, badminton, softball, wrestling, tumbling, team hand ball, ping pong, bowling, archery, and weight training. A similar program has been established for the girls which includes: basketball, soccer, ping pong, badminton, volleyball, gymnastics, bowling, and various games.

From the moment we entered the halls of A.H.S.. we. as seniors, have grown to love our school and hate to leave it. The first hurdle in life always seems to be the hardest to overcome; at graduation we have finished a long uphill climb, only to begin again. Some will go on to college, some to service, and some to a vocation. No matter what road is taken, we may no longer dream about our future; now we must make it. High School days fade. The halls we roamed, teachers we bugged, and the nurse we ran from, the games, the plays, the contests will never be the same again. Only the memories will remain.
