1800 students fill days with classes, study, hard Work Six hours every Week-day for nine months 1,800 students Were hard at Work in their primary activ- ity at Anderson High School-that of studying and attending classes. A broadly comprehensive school, AHS offered subjects incorporating everything from the Writings of the Renaissance to the political poli- cies of nevvly formed nations. Individual students naturally had different interests and vocational ob- jectives, so almost any topic of possible interest- vvhether the analysis of the student's blood type or the physical fitness of the individual himself-was covered in an AHS classroom. Everyone specialized in one of the school's six basic fields of study, but a broad academic program including credits from each of the six basic fields Was required for eventual graduation.

Year-long education prevails in broad schedule for summer An ambitious generation was not content to work only nine months a year. Rather, students and fac- ulty members continued educational and eXtra-cur- ricular activities on a year-round basis. During the three month vacation 869 students earned a total of 1,081 credits in the largest summer school pro- gram in school history while several faculty mem- bers not involved in the vast summer school travelled throughout the nation and world. School activities did not come to a halt With the coming of summer as many extra-curricular activity groups prepared for their busy Winter schedules.
