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

Student Council Plans Many Activities The Alcester student council held irregular meetings throughout the year to discuss school activities and policy. Since the council is the representative voice of the student body, they sponsored a survey taken of all the students to find out opinions of the school and some ways of improving it. The council’s task was to encourage school spirit and good citizenship to provide a friendly atmosphere for all. Student council members were chosen from each class at the beginning of the year. The council consisted of four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, two freshmen, and Mr. Zingler also added his administrative skill to the council. Mike Reppe, the student body president, attended a workshop at Mitchell to get ideas on the activities of other student councils. The council planned many student activities such as assemblies and a Christmas party for which they selected a movie to be shown. Planning for Homecoming and Sweet- heart activities by selecting a band, making refreshments, and decorating the gym were among the group’s biggest jobs. The council also selected attendants from the first and second grades for the Homecoming Coronation and organ- ized the school picnic at the end of the year.
