He has dedicated his life to the school, and so it is fitting that we give him special recognition for his work. Although it is a small token of appreciation, it is symbolic of the gratitude in the hearts of Aurorans. For fulfulling the versatile roles of being an interested, dedicated basketball coach, and kindling a love for English in his students, Mr. Johnson truly deserves the dedication of this annual. As a past pupil of AHS, he has unselfishly given of himself to the school for eleven years and helped to mold the characters of many students. .,,.N,k,,, x 1 :nv ,435 i if 355132 gl Special Commemorative To Ed Cook Jim Johnson Receives Annual Dedication mnfWy?Wmvwgninmrmua11H T' AHS Kaleidoscope ' Of Activities Ever changing patterns of shape and color make the kaleidoscope delightful and fascinating.

The newspaper published a bi-weekly issue containing various articles of interest on club activities, sports, and general school life. The literary magazine contained creative writings of students and alumni. The staff planned three issues a year. The yearbook gets more exciting every year, and this year, for the first time, the seniors were in color. Mrs. Aufdembrink's feelings were: The class is a composite of people who care and care enough to spend innumerable hours in class and out of class to produce publications that reflect the spirit of AHS. 20 X Publications OPPOSITE PAGE: TOP PICTURES - Publication members hold dancing lessons.

BOTTOM ' Houns break through the run-throughn sign before a gfime' l The 1976 Houn Dawg football saw its highs and lows. With the meat of the schedule at first, the Dawgs hurriedly prepared for tough competition. After beating Carl Junction with a strong second half, the Houns traveled to Nevada. The Aurora offense outgained the Tigers, but was unable to score while two long passes and a punt return hurt the defense. The Dawgs were unable to hold onto a half-time lead as Seneca outscored an unorganized Houn Dawg team. Mt. Vernon proved to be a tough homecoming foe. Aurora scored its only TD in the opening minutes of the game while the defense couldn't hold Mt. Vernon in the second half. Losing two in a row proved to be enough to pull the Houn Dawgs together for Monett. . Executing to perfection, the Houns crushed Monett giving it one of its two losses on the season. At Neosho, Aurora football fans saw a complete switch in teams. Going in at half-time whipped and 21 points behind, the Dawgs came out of the locker room as if it were a butterfly's cocoon, matching Neosho's scoring 6-6. With the tough games over, the Houns decided to relieve the frustrations of the beginning by winning the last four games easily. Opponents scored only 41 points in the last four games while Aurora rolled up 137. Football! 71 ii-, ' Under the leadership of its coaches, Johnson and Bolin, the defense showed signs of great power.

Walking across the football field to Pomp and Circumstancef' they prepared to receive their diploma. Rosemary Emhoff and Doug Johnson were the guest speakers at this year's ceremony, each elaborating on not the past, but the future. Mrs. Shirley Hamilton presented the diplomas while A Mr. Dan Bailey presented to her the class of '77. Jim Grimm sang the class song Stand Tall, accompanied by Dean Calico. As the Class of '77 left the ceremony, they realized they were no longer students at Aurora High School. Instead, they now are a part of AHS alumni.

What you are looking at now, this 164-page annual, took a year and a half to prepare and send off. It couldn't have been done, though, without the cooperation of you, the student body, and the faculty and administration. My thanks to you, and a special thanks to the members of my annual staff-Vicki, Terrie, Roger, Dennis, Nita, Anita, Alison, Darrin, Susan, Craig, and Keith. A special thanks goes -to Mrs. A., without whose guidance this book probably wouldn't be a reality. Since this IS the last page, I hope you have enjoyed paging through the book, and I hope that this will leave you with some memories of the 1976-77 school year at AHS.
