out in the freezing cold at the T.A.P. roadblocks .... the tingling sentimental feeling in everyone when we gave our Panthers the surprise pep rally before they left for Greenwood .... the juniors and seniors frantically working on their plays .... following our basketball teams to the endless tournaments .... the continuing gossipy questions of Guess who's going steady now? .... the thrill of seeing your name on the election ballot (even if you didn't win) .... the bright new basketball trophies adding sparkle to the trophy cases and new prestige to school activities .... sitting in class on those drowsy warm spring days, wishing we were somewhere else .... those appetizing (?) odors that continuously flowed from the chemistry lab .... daydreaming .... the Jr. High getting on the ball with all those parties - they even outdid the Sr. High .... the invasion of the different (to say the least) types of dress in our student body, such as the A Club initiations and the Sr. High girls dressed as beatniks .... A. H. S. students representing us at various conferences and conventions .... A. H. S. gaily decorated for Christmas — we even had a Christmas tree .... the success of our Panther Band everywhere they represented us- up North in Minneapolis, at contests, in the endless Christmas parades, etc. . Those nights we'll remember always, such as the Banquet and the Prom ....

You Remember The ending of summer vacation .... the hustle and bustle of registration .... the football parades led by the Panther Band .... shouting hearty responses to the cheers led by our peppy cheerleaders at Friday afternoon pep rallies .... the football team practicing until dark every day .... jacking up locks to save time between classes .... the slanderous truths published in the Hoot Owl .... the Juniors proudly holding up their hands and saying, Look at my class ring! —like nobody ever got one before. . . . the two day holiday because of the big snow .... keeping up with A. H. S. students by looking at the bulletin board .... the stampede down the hall when the lunch bell rings .... the endless tape recordings in speech .... the love of the mechanical drawing students for the shop — seems like they were always wanting to go out to the-shop and draw (morning, noon, and night) .... snack time between classes — if the ants didn't get your goodies first .... finding excuses to go somewhere during your free period .... heart-failure as everyone runs down the hall before tardy time countdown — six, five, four, three, two, one-Whewl! .... senior girls walking all over the lunchroom looking for the butter and some napkins .... everyone going back for extra rolls .... What's the good word? — GO PANTHERS! typing and shorthand students frantically trying to get their speed .... the agriculture class beautifying the school by planting shrubbery and grass .... getting permits — for everything .... sitting at football games in freezing or raining weather - always cheering our team on to victory .... the utter confusion of the seniors over term papers .... the excitement of the invitation to the Delta Bowl .... the enthusiasm of every class over the intramural tournament .... the Senior Trip to the Ice Follies - Wow! !. . .the Number One problem for some people—keeping their cars out of the ditch.... patiently?? waiting for that Heavenly 3:29 bell .... the loyal students who stood
