Foreword “We As Individuals” were part of the huge education- al machine which set to work for another 180 days. Each person, or individual, was a “cog” or “wheel” involved in the learning process to help it run smoothly. We all had our assignments to do and extra-curricular activities to help make us better rounded our “cogs.” With a vision of excellence, new teachers were either amazed or disillusioned with the students' progress. Return- ing teachers reacted with less wonder, realizing that a teach- er’s best efforts are not always enough. Radiating ability and know-how, students filled the year with hard work, fun, and unending spirit. Cross-Age- Peer help which was a new experience proved to be hard work and fun to many. The older students showing antici- pation and knowledge helped young minds set out to ex- plore many areas of learning. Entertainment and more seri- ous matters such as Operation Pit Fall characterized the in- formative and amusing assemblies presented at AHS. We were individuals in 1972 in the way we dressed as a result of the school board abolishing the dress code. With the passage of the school bond issue, the community showed their concern and worked together to give us more room for operating in the future. Graduation had an individual style in 1972. Members of the class performed in readings and musical selections. In the choral reading the group worked together and individu- ally to present “Shadow on the Wall.” Instead of ordering one-act plays from a company this year, they were written and produced as well as acted out by the students them- selves. We as individuals had personalized ideas and ways of doing things. These were carried out in declam and plays. Through science and art projects the students expressed themselves. Through discussion we learned to recognize and accept other individuals for what they are. “We As Individ- uals” accomplished things by working together. We set out to remember the year and while thinking about it, move ahead. Somewhere in the rush of a swirling world of friendships and problems, we found time to make decisions and accept responsibility. Let the 1972 CUBETTE help you remember and relive the scenes that took place which set the stage for today and tomorrow. The past is but a beginning ... i 4
