Growth And Change Typifies A.H.S. 1970 marks the beginning of a new decade, not only for the world, but also for us here at A.H.S. The changes, advances and problems of the 60’s give us some idea of the challenges that face us as students and future citizens. Problems of classroom shortages, overcrowded halls, and never-ending lunch lines confronted us as the baby boom came of age. More trailers, dual lunch shifts, and larger faculties have helped to compensate. But we're still behind. However, there have been many good by-products of this growth. Students and teachers have cooperated well to have successful learning experiences. The cur- riculum has been expanded to include a Humanities course. Student teachers have been used to provide better quality instruction. New teaching techniques have been experimented with-walks during English class, zip squads in Am. History, grouping in eighth- grade math, team-teaching in science. Clubs and or- ganizations worked hard as units to raise much-needed money. The Annual added a darkroom. The Vista caused a furor. The chorus and Folk Music Club com- bined. Forensics and Debate generated new interest and enthusiasm. Our athletic teams brought us honor and recognition. Thus as we enter the 70's the focal point will need to be on growth. Growth as individuals, as a school, and as a community.
