’63 Desert Sands Antelope Union High School Wellton, Arizona Possibly the first building one may see on entering Antelope is the main building, bookstore, office, library, teacher’s lounge, and student council room. Antelope Students Have Looking to the left from the office you may see the left wing. In this building the social sciences, math, English, and language classes are held. 2 A recent addition to the campus was a shade for Antelope's busses. One of the newest ones was a Greyhound bus. It is used only for long activity trips which the students are privileged to attend. This wing contains the Something to Be Proud Of To the extreme left of the office is the gym. P. E. classes and Basketball games are held here. 3 AUHS Buildings Are Important to All A familiar sight, huh! It should be - the cafeteria serves the students of Antelope for several purposes. Besides being served lunch here all the school parties and activities of that sort are held here. Agriculture shop, vocational agricul- ture, and general shop are the classes held in the agriculture building, to the left of the cafeteria. Located behind the gym is the Band Room. All of the music classes are held here, under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Kessler. Speech class is also held here. 4 An important part of the A. U. H. S. campus is the right wing as shown here. Science, business and home economics courses are conducted in this building. This view of the main building is probably more familiar to the students of Antelope than that of the front. From this side one may gain access to any of the rooms in this wing. 5 First Southern Baptist Church, Tacna, Arizona First Southern Baptist Church, Wellton, Arizona The annual staff of Antelope Union High School dedicates the 1963 edition of the Desert Sands to the churches and religious sects of the valley. As the churches represent and maintain the highest standards of morality and spirituality of the locality, so the annual strives to picture and commemorate the best in our school life.

Rams in Action It was homecoming for alumni and the promise of the best contest of the season for loyal Ram fans on the Ram field. The Rams kept their promise as they completely dominated the Parker Broncs. With a combination of team spirit and hard plays of abbott and Isler the Rams side of the score board looked somewhat brighter, and what team wouldn't have carried their coach off the field.

Coach Horton is ready to hit the road to the State Tournament at Tempe. It's a long bus ride. Ronnie Bridger and Bruce Beecroft play a game to pass the time. 94 Rams leave the dressing room for warm up. Rams in Action . . . Jim Watson warms up before the game while Carl Peters waits for the rebound. At the state tournament the Rams played their first game with Window Rock and won with a score of 61-56. For their second game the Rams played Gilbert, and ran into some bad luck losing to them, 29-45. By losing to Gilbert, this put the Rams out of the tournament, even-though the Rams lost they played hard and did well this year. Alton Burgett ready at the free throw line. 95 FIRST ROW: Tony Ard, Danny Kline, Jimmy Rivera, Wayne Lewis, Tom Abbott, Ernie Galindo. SECOND ROW: Larry House, Rex Hastin. John Pratt, Glenn Shipman, Coach Ferguson. THIRD ROW: Steve Ard, Roger Abbott, Jim Watson, Dee Wilkerson, Larry Gray, Eugene Brewer. m r • Randy Ullery, track manager, keeps the boys in line with force if it is needed. Coach Ferguson shows Larry House how to do a bench- press. This year the Antelope Union High School Rams are working toward their sec- ond conference championship in the history of Antelope. Last year the track team rolled through the conference track meet with ease taking first place. This year the Rams took on a stronger schedule than they did in the year of 1962. All indications show that this year's track team is as strong as it was last year. The only thing hurting this year's team was the depth in the sprints. Already this year, school records have been broken. Some of these are the mile which Jim Watson broke with a time of 4 minutes, 43 and 8 10 seconds, beating the old rec- ord by 5 seconds. Dee Wilkerson broke his old shot put record by 7 1 2 inches with a throw of 47 feet and 10 1 2 inches. Other records have been tied and many more are expected to be broken. Mr. Gray and Coach Fer- guson watch while Roger Abbott leads the track team in warmup exercises. 97 Rams Prepare for Meet Rams warming up before practice. ROW ONE: Earl Thorn, Robert Reagan, Garry Koch. ROW TWO: Ronnie Bridg- er, Bill Janko, Ricky Ullery. ROW THREE: Bill Orell, Fermin Ruiz, Larry Gray, Homer Farar, Bobby Moore. Baseball Squad of 1963 This year the AUHS baseball team had a very good start by win- ning two out of the first three games. Due to the fact that the Rams did not enter the conference they played only six games. Coach Horton warms the outfield up by hitting fly balls to them. 99 Larry Gray gets ready to fire the fast ball as he warms up. Ronnie Bridger and Bill Janko play a game of pepper. The object of the game is to sharpen up the boys' reflexes and to help them to field the balls.

It differs from other classes in the fact that the students work not only for his own credit but also the reputation of the school. The journalism department has sent three students to the yearly workshop at Flagstaff each of the four years since it started. This year the honor roll students of the journalism class joined an International Journalism honor society, The Quill and Scroll. Our school paper had to pass the test which its judges established. 124 J. T. HUNTER Standard Oil Company of California Compliments of MR. AND MRS. R. L.
