A routine of tests, term themes, and deadlines that became almost mo- notnous in the early months ot the new term suddenly changed with the anticipation of spring events. In March the word tryouts re- placed deadlines, and the students eagerly turned to the preparation for contests in the lnterscholastic-League events, the Science Fair, and spring sports which were to end in April and May. Interest was divided between these events and the visit ot the stu- dents trom Wyandotte, Michigan. This happy occasion was followed by the Student Council elections and by the special assemblies which set the pace for the busy days of May. Excitement mounted with a journey to Paris on the night oi the Junior-Senior banquet, with the recognition of winners in various academic and athletic events, and the presentation of the 1961 FLASHLIGHT. The last days belonged to the Seniors as they prepared for their farewell pro- gram and commencement exercises. The many entries set up for judging in the AHS Science Fair draws the attention of students and teachers as they move from room to room to view them.
