During their three years at A. H. S. they have worked ear- nestly to prepare themselves for the future. High on the list of achievements are the honor and distinction brought to the school by two seniors, loan Frank and Sheryl Crain, winners in the American Legion Oratorical and Essay Contests. As a diversion the seniors sponsored a dance on November 24, at the lewish Mem- orial Center, which was quite successful. An active class, seniors led the way in other activi- ties, namely: the English Department play, the SENIOR OFFICERS well, treasurer. annual show, the Senate, and the athletic pro- gram. Seniors forged ahead with improvement as their goal. A panel discussion was held in the auditorium to discuss school problems. Many of the participants in this panel were seniors who stressed school and self-improve- ment. As a result of this panel the student body formed an advisory council composed of four members from each class. These boys and girls are now ready to begin their careers, jobs, and dreams. May they be ever courageous and have as much am- bition as they did in this, their graduating year.
