In Remembrance of Alan . . . So often while we are among friends we take their presence for granted, their feelings, and their ability to make us happy or unhappy. But when a person is taken away from us for some unknown reason, then he is taken for granted no more. He is remembered and thought of very often. Alan Rutledge, who was a senior at Elm- hursf, participated in many people ' s lives. There are many who were close friends that remember the person and close friend he was. With Alan there was never a dull moment. He had a gift for making peo- ple laugh and he loved that most. When he made someone happy, he could be happy also. He accomplished what many do not, the power to accept life for what it is and try to make it easier for those who could not. Alan was always involved in school activities. He played the lead role of a doctor in last year ' s play Cactus Flower. Outside of school, Alan enjoyed riding his motorcycle and skydiving, which ultimately caused his accidental death. Although Alan ' s death is difficult to accept, many will remember him for his kindness and joviality.

Each Student Pursues Individual Interests Sometimes students wondered if school wasn ' t taking up their whole life, but others found activities or pastimes which required as much or more time as school.

Laughter Improves Student Relations Where are you going? Out. Out where? With the gang. Be back at 12. People everywhere are afflicted with a certain uncontrollable urge to be with other people. In the halls, cafeteria, and after school . . . kids are talking, laughing and sharing experiences. What do they talk about? Everything and anything, just to be a part of what is going on. This togetherness is not confined to school hours. After games, kids crowd pizza parlors and ice cream shops to get together with the gong. People communicating is what it ' s all about. No one can stop this because it is human nature . . . people need other people. Junior Greg Hershberger and sophomore Putter Frebel discuss problems facing the 1 974 yearbook. Junior James Theye and junior Sheryl Larson from Snider were among many students attending the first Student Council dance. Humor and togetherness kept the tired feet of the band marching on through homecoming festivities and football season.
