V We Accept Your Challenge By the Junior Class You, the last Senior Class to graduate from the old Academy, leave us, the Class of 1958, with a far greater responsibility than has ever yet been given to any class in the school. You have entrusted us with the responsibility and privilege of instilling the A.H.N. Spirit into the new high school.

We must tell you that we appreciate and love everything you have giv- en us. So much so that we want girls of the future to share it with us. We know that with God's grace and by imitation of your example that we can give that modern new high school the old A.H.N. spirit and keep the phrase an A.H.N. girl synonymous with the word lady .
