Foreword As we think of the school day from 8:30 to 3:30, we remember the things we’ve shared with classmates during regular days of studying, tests, and deadlines. But for most AHS students, the school day did not end at 3:30. Extra time was spent in anxious mo- ments of sports and quieter moments in drama, music, and organizations. Both times of each day were impor- tant. Each of us participated in the part offered between 8:30 and 3:30. but who can say which time was really more important to us? Few of us will forget the time spent in activities or what we learned in that time. This is why the staff of the 1971 CUBETTE will present the aspects of both these valuable times, 8:30-3:30, plus. The year began with wild enthus- iasm during the football season. Many winless seasons had preceded, but this one provided the reality of the hoped for Homecoming victory, and ended as the best season of 11-man football at AHS. The basketball season was also outstanding with a 16-6 regular season, and second place in both the district and conference tournaments. The year saw two new activities. The Literary Vanquard was created, providing a time for concentration on each member's work as well as well known writers. Girl's track was also started with a large number of partici- pants. The school building and schedule were changed. The library was convert- ed to a modernized media-center, pro- viding a pleasant atmosphere for the students. Modular scheduling was also introduced. At First it was mass confu- sion, but resulted in an accepted, tail- ored schedule. As we then looked forward, the year looming ahead seemed endless. But now as we look back, we realize it sped by. Let the 1971 CUBETTE help you recapture and relive each unique day from 8:30 to 3:30, plus. 2

Dedication The 1971 Cubette is dedicated to David Lamar Barnes, a member of the class of 71, who left this life on July 23,1970. Dave was a part of Alcester High for only one brief year. But during that year, he was a friend to all, as well as an active part of our school. Sports, studies, and everything he did was characterized by determination and dedication. With his short life on earth, Dave gave of himself more than most of us ever do. Although Dave is no longer with us, the memory of him and his life among us is. This memory continues to inspire us to strive to do our best, and to look toward the “upward call of God.” This annual is dedicated to Dave because of his contributions to AHS, and his enthusiasm about life, which we were privileged to share with him for a little while. 4 Dave participated in many activities, such as the junior class play.
