VYlwiphy PRINCIPAL ANTELOPE UNION HIGH SCHOOL has passed a milestone. The first students, who entered as ninth graders, are now graduat- ing. The four years have produced many beneficial changes and advancements. We can all be proud of our accomplishments — they exist in both physical and spiritual ways. As principal, I wish to emphasize the active leadership of the students and the wise guidance of the staff as fundamental parts in such progress. The school year 1955-56 was a good one because of increased student interest and initiative and makes the coming school years more inviting.” - 5 - Clyde Gaines, Clerk, Archie Perry, Logan Brimhall, President, Harry H. Moore, Ira A. Murphy. (Not pictured: John C. Car- penter ) 1955 56 tBocUidof Education THE BOARD OF Education of Antelope Union High School has made every effort to provide personnel and facilities needed to promote the best in educational services for the children of our district. Long range planning will insure good schools for today and for tomorrow. These plans are made and put into operation by board members who want good schools and who place student welfare above selfish interests. The students at Antelope are thankful that such policies guide our school. - 6 - MARTHA H. COLE Commerce JOSEPH L. DeLANEY Music JAc Jaaiiiij CHARLES L.

George Anderson received his State Farmer plaque directly from State President Bucky Maude at the State Convention last August. George was also nomin- ated as ‘‘Star Farmer of Arizona,” served as delegate for the Chapter and was chairman of the Chapter Contest Committee. Good work, George!

Marion was also elected to the office of 2nd Vice-President of the State Association. - 37 - Antelope Chapter F.F.A. Sweetheart for 1956, Diane Roselle.

Archie Burgett brushes up the Chapter’s prize steer, a fine purebred Hereford, which will surely bring top prize in the County Fair this year. James Waddill and Marion Brown “learn to do by doing” as they brand one of Mr. Brown’s calves on a field trip to his ranch. Ray Clay- ton and Frank Hibbard are the sympathetic onlookers. Pictured here are Marion Brown, James Wad- dill, George Anderson, Archie Burgett, and Frank Hibbard as they “work over” a lamb crop on another educational field trip. Frank Hibbard and Ray Clayton assist Marion Brown in dehorning a calf. - 39 - Siudsni faunal THE STUDENT COUNCIL is the governing body of the Asso- ciated Students of Antelope Union High School.
