Curtis IT HAS BEEN a privilege and an honor for me to be associated with the students at Antelope Union High School as your principal. We are steadily taking our place among the other schools of this state. Many good reports of the friendliness and sportsmanship displayed by our students have come to us. The spirit of coopera- tion that exists among students and faculty can insure us of con- tinued growth from year to year. With this inevitable growth, we are able to enrich the educational program to provide the kind of experience which will give us a firm foundation upon which to build our life's work. TO THOSE OF YOU who graduate from this institution, may you look back with pleasure and satisfaction upon the training and experiences you have received here, and may you always have a feeling of pride in the parts you played in the success of your school. the program directors DEAN CURTIS, CLYDE GAINES, LOGAN BRIMHALL (president), ARCHIE PERRY, and HARRY MOORE (Not pictured: JACK CARPENTER) board of education THE AUHS BOARD OF EDUCATION serves faithfully, meeting regularly once a month, to make the policy and provide for the educational needs of the high school students of this community.
