 An Addition to the school in 1954 was the AUHS gymnasium. The gym seats 400 when filled. Adequate shower rooms, a con- cession stand and ticket office are included in this building. Football, track and baseball equipment are kept here in season. This building, which also serves as a ticket office, was installed in 1959. A familiar view to AUHS stu- dents is the baseball diamond south of the gymnasium. At the other end of the field is a softball diamond and volleyball court for use by the PE classes. 5

AUHS dances, programs and plays take place in the cafetorium. But the thing this building is best known for is food! School lunches, banquets and club dinners are prepared here. This building was a part of the original construction. 4 A bird's eye view of football games was needed, so in 1960 the crows nest was in- stalled on Ram field. From here a com- mentary of the games is given. Bleachers were also added. Fans watch the AUHS football and track teams inaction from here, while cheering their teams to victory.

'Dedication The Wellton-Mohawk Valley has several organizations that show their interest in the school by various means. The American Legion assumes the responsibility of a delegate to boy state each year. They also give an Americanism award to the outstanding senior boy and girl citizen. The girls state delegate is sponsored yearly by the American Legion Auxiliary. An essay contest is another part of its program. Each year Kiwanis gives a scholarship to an eligible senior for use at the school of his or her choice. They also sponsor career day. Annually the Weliton-Mohawk Women's Club awards a scholar- ship to attend a summer music camp to a worthy music student. All of these organizations participate in welfare projects in the community. It is in appreciation of these efforts that the yearbook staff de- dicates the 1962 Desert Sands to those clubs and organizations that give so unselfishly of their time, talents, and money to help the stu- dents of Antelope Union High School grow as a group and as individuals. 6
