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.

Community activity expands classroom, spreads resources Just as education was not limited to nine months but Was a year-round project, learning was not re- stricted to the high school building. For many AHS students the community incorporating 36 square miles and 70,000 citizens served as a classroom. Civic duties were often performed by students and organizations of the high school. Numerous stu- dent council projects aided community causes, and Choral Club's joint appearance With the Indianap- olis Symphony brought recognition to both school and community. Gaining valuable experience, many accumulated on-the-j ob experience in the free enter- prise system with school-coordinated programs. 1 7, An assembly line for salad dressing tabovej or rock jewelry business Cbelowb teach Junior Achievers about business.
