recycle, cled, cling. 1. To cause to pass through or undergo further treatment, change, use, etc. 2. To reuse (manufac- tured products) by breaking up, melting, cleaning, etc., and reprocessing the raw materials. The word recycling wasn't included in most dictionaries in 1965. Fifteen years later, however, the procedure had become common knowledge among Americans. State bottle-deposit bills, energy-producing solid waste plants, recycled shopping bags and pop cans manufactured from recyclable aluminum all contributed to make recy- cling an everyday fact of life. With rapid consumption of the world's resources, such as fossil fuels, precious metals and forest areas, it appeared that recycling would become an even more important process for all Americans. Far Upper Left: CHILLS. President Carter's emergency order limiting building tempera- tures to no warmer than 68 degrees and economy-minded school administrators sav- ing money on energy prompted many students, like Fareed Tabatabai, to wear coats and heavy sweaters to class. Upper Left: REBATE. Leigh Jenison takes advantage of the new deposit law on cans and bottles by returning his empties at Randall's. Left: RECYCLER. The City of Ames' Solid Waste Recovery Plant was among the first in the nation to recycle waste products into fuel for electrical power plants. Far Left: CONSERVATION.

Hecycling applied in education as well as in conservation. The term sophomore was used and re-used as each new class of tenth-graders entered Ames High. When a new teacher was hired to fill a vacancy, he or she assumed the same title and responsibilities of the departed teacher. And at registration time, students were offered much the same choice of classes as students before them. Hecycling affected the lives of students in other ways as well. The desks students sat in, the textbooks they read and the classrooms they studied in were likely to be carry-overs from previous years; only the people using them were different. These and the other recycled components of Ames High are the sub- ject of the 1979-1980 SPIRIT. Far Upper Left: ANOTHER YEAR. The famil- iar classroom desks are the subjects of mis- use and re-use; the desks reappear each year after classes leave their marks of graffiti, broken book racks and bent chair backs. Top Left: FROM A HEIGHT. An aerial view of AHS provides a look at the building which serves as the base for recycling at Ames High. Above Left: CLASSTIME. Curt Ringgenberg collects the necessary books from his locker before heading down the hall to his next class. Lockers and textbooks were some of the many recycled items at Ames High. Left: OUT OF CLASS. Dorothy Gugel, Dale Tramp, Robert Ammann, Don Faas and Keith Bailey discuss a recent school event during their lunch break. The staffs teaching responsibilities generally remain the same from year to year, but are fulfilled with the help of new ideas and procedures. Far Left: ONE LAST TIME. Val Rowley has his schedule approved at pre-checkout during his last run through self-scheduling. Opening 5
