Students entered the area of the new school in the fall to be met by the roar and commotion of modern earth-moving equipment, dust from the acres of newly plowed land, and the torrid heat of that memorable first week. Droves of students poured out of the shuttle buses, from the old into the new. They drove new cars and old ones, and they walked—discovering anew this mode of transportation as a matter of necessity. i The curiosity of each student as he entered the new building was only appeased after a group tour with his friends. The curious eagerly looked into the shops, discov¬ ering new equipment and machines. They were equally amazed by the language lab¬ oratory with its modern technique of utilizing individual booths. The new science rooms kept pace with modern technological advances, and it was easily seen that they were designed with an eye to the future. What will the future bring to Ames High and its students? The new school will someday be complete with new facilities, honor and traditions, able to proudly take its place beside the old school. This transition has made it possible for the Ames High stu¬ dents of 1961 to have a hand in completing the old and starting the new.

1961 ■ ■ This was the beginning of a new era, a new decade, a new presidential administration; all needing transition from the old to the new. This was also a year of transition at Ames High. In the future, Ames High students will be spending their three years of high school in new and modern units, which will replace the familiar halls ot the old Ames High building. The Class of 1961 experienced transition from the old to the new. New honors were started and new traditions set during this transitional period. We have had the precedents of the past to look back on, and the challenge of the new to inspire us. As fall approached, Ames High students looked forward to the coming school year with more than just the usual apprehension. The prospective picture sh °wed something new. Along with the new building, there was to be the experience of a half day in the old school and a half day in the new, and a shuttle bus trip between the two; this was transition at Ames High in 1961. ► i
