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.
