As we survey the realm of AHS at the conclusion of an eventful, pleasant and successful year in its epochal history, we are reminded that every citizen in this democracy is a King or a Queen. Our motto might have been Every man his own masterf, for great progress has been made in the development of those important essentials to strong character and worthy membership in a social order through indi- vidual responsibility and self-discipline. Our newly adopted Honor System, though only in its infancy, has already stamped its mark upon us in a most wholesome manner and to a marked degree. The student body and faculty of AHS are to be commended for progress made this year along several lines. The sportsmanship, manners, citizenship, loyalty, spirit, friendliness, and responsiveness to worthy appeals has been noted both by ourselves and by frequent visitors. Definite progress has been made for a wider spread of our pupil activities program. Our guidance and counseling services have been expanded and 'made more effective. Increased emphasis has been placed upon attention to indi- vidual needs of pupils, and conscious effort has been directed toward adapting our school program to the life and needs of our community and our state. These and many more evidences of our progress are most gratifying and we ofer our sincere con- gratulations and hearty thanks to all who have contributed to this progress and our mutual happiness. In this materialistic and disturbed age, our concern for you is that you always remember that the true values of life are spiritual, possessions within the reach of us all, that among these are our constitutional freedoms, and faith, love and tolerance. Now in keeping with the theme of your annual and in the language of royalty, I hereby crown all of you as Kings and Queens of the realm of Amarillo High School, in the year of our Lord 1948. Receive this crown of honor and joy. May God enrich your hearts with his abundant grace and crown you with queenly virtue. Sincerely yours, R. B. NORMAN, Principal Senior High School

After three years of friendships, never - to - be- forgotten joys, and a few sorrows, mingled with work and play in Amaril- lo High School, seniors find themselves at the crossroads of life. For some, school days are a closed book. Some will carry their fine Sandie spirit into the best uni- versities and colleges in America. There may be a tear or two as diplomas are distributed, but smil- ing faceswill look toward the future with hearts full of courage and dreams, and memories of past school days in AHS.
