Amarillo High School has been known as Sandieland as a result of the school mascot, the Sandstorm. The main building was erected in 1926. Additions were made in 1935 and 1952. Pictured at right is the city skyline from the new expressway. QMJJW 4

We are inconstant. Our lives go through dozens of changes, most of them minor, almost daily. Our moods are capricious, ranging from uninhibited gaiety to black, inpenetrable depression. We live, talk end- lessly, meet at the local drive-inn, and occasionally do homework. But we keep firm goals in mind. We believe in 'our school motto, Scholarship, sportsman- ship and service. We are not only interested in the carefree lives we are living now, but we are interested in eventually becoming well-rounded, mature adults. We are taking on more responsibility all the time, as we grow older. There are increasingly more things to think about: college, marriage, jobs. We may find, to our rather over-constructed horror, that we not only no longer have the time to talk on the telephone as much, but we no longer want to so much. Our tastes are changing and our lives are mellow- ing, We find ourselves wondering and pondering more serious things, the world problems, and the more important problems of our countries, We are growing up. Exemplifying service to Sandieland are Edith Coberly and Carla Farnsworth as they prepare for the annual band contest which was held in Dick Bivins Stadium in November. The Sandie Band placed first in the contest. Judy Glover and Mrs. Marion Schoen go over one of judy's test papers. Mrs. Schoen teaches senior English, which is not a required course but is taken by many Seniors. The course is good preparatory work for college-bound students.
