PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE Glancing back over the records of the Austin High School of the past years, it is with a great deal of pride that I note your many accomplishments. Our students' willingness to co-operate and ability to achieve have made this an honorable school. Wise men once said, Ability wins us the esteem of true men. This being the case, I say to our senior class of 1968, stand proud because much of the progress of our school has been made because of your ability. To you, the graduating class, go my hearty congratulations and hopes for a long and rewarding future. I am indeed grateful to the faculty, student body, and citizens of the Austin community for the opportunity of having worked with you. Thank you for a successful year and your interest and dedication to the learning program. ames Huckaby Principa 3 FACULTY MR. FRED HUCKABY 7 8 English, World Geography; Northwestern State College (B.

Although they finished with a poor won- lost record the 1967-68 Broncos exhibited much hustle and desire. In many games they faced a height disadvantage and some- times were outnumbered, but they never quit trying. The Broncos were also known for fine sportsmanship in both losing and winning efforts. 41 Darrel Young - Guard Honorable Mention 1967 - 1968 42 Vernon Bill - Forward VARSITY Russell Manzini - Forward Richard Brandt - Guard 4- Free throw 3- Fighting for the ball BASKETBALL AUSTIN J.V.
