sail « % 4BISC Desert Sands A Student Project Of Antelope Union High School Wellton, Arizona Volume XV1968 What kind of world do we live in? One of materialistic wants and greeds? One which is constantly changing, its humanity unceasingly searching for purpose in their lives? A person asking these questions would almost certainly re- ceive as many different answers as there are people. The world in which we live is always on the move and changing so fast you can almost say there is a different world each morning than there was the night before. They Who Live Life In this time of the much talked about social reform New Morality , there is left for the young people of America none or very few of the old signposts which have guided America in past generations. These signposts having either moved or disappeared completely leave youngpeoplein the midst of: higher competition, emphasis on college, added responsibility, and the infinite problem of telling right from wrong, black from white. Once so clearly defined, it is now but different shades of gray. Each person having to make up his own mind on how he is to live his life� We at Antelope are now preparing ourselves for these decisions and placingour signposts, living and growing through our activities, sports, and studies. We look toward the future, andthrough- outworld stress, increasing responsibility, college emphasis, higher competition and social reform, we are they who are constantly searching for betterment, learning from the friendship and guidance of those around us, we have sought to live through our activities and experiences, and ta fill each moment with enjoyment. It is thus that you might call us They Who Live Life . 2 I Sports 70 Student Life24 Contents Academics 8 How We Live At Antelope Through our studies, yes, but we also learn something just as important -- how to get along with people. Which is very important, because we will have to live and work with people die rest of our lives. If we cannot get along, and cannot communicate, where would we be? Man cannot provide for every necessity of life as he once could. He must depend on his fellow man for one or more of the following: food, shelter, clothing, medicine and protection, whether from a small time burglar or large hostile nations. To help us in learning how to get along with people, we have a wide range of social ac- tivities and culture programs throughout the year. During the sports season, dances are sponsored by different organizations on campus, providing a place for the students to gather, relax and enjoy themselves. Also there are formal dances, giving the student a chance to come in contact with the styles and manners of a formal setting. Program assemblies are held during the year to en- large the students' outlook on such things as art, music, science and other subjects throught beneficial to the lives of the students.

Desert Echo reporters were always on the lookout for interesting news to be included in the paper. Also included were features Uncle Martha and Ten Burning Questions by Larry Gallaher, which were always good for a laugh. In order to have a good school newspaper, team- work and cooperation are very important. This past year, editor Mary Hyde and the Desert Echo Staff combined these essentials and produced a fine news- paper. 28 Desert Sands Staff Editor Sherry Smith Get to work! Was the shout of Editor Sherry Smith this year as the Desert Sands Staff worked to make their deadlines it was a case of either make it or die trying. During the year a few changes were made in the yearbook. The class section was made smaller and more compact to create unity and save space. The senior index was moved from die classes section to the back of the book so as not to break up or divide that section. The contents were rearranged so that die most important and interesting sections were toward the front. Putting the yearbook out on time this year was the combined effort of many people, it is their hope that this book will be a continued source of enjoyment to you in the years to come.

How do you get your mother to let you dress your age of sixteen instead of like a twelve-year old? These are the questions that are solved by Helen Maxwell, Uncle Phineas, Deborah De Royster, and Tommy Tucker in the comedy, GREAT CEASAR'S GHOST. The ghost is an Incan chieftain who helps in getting permission for the marriage and plays the major role in the comedy. Uncle Phineas Farthingale, who is just a close friend of the family decides to help the young couple, Helen Maxwell and Tommy Tucker get Helen’s mother's permission for their marriage. He employs an old Incan trick that he learned in South America. The object of the trick is to make the person who the trick is played on to think they are invisible by paying absolutely no attention to them and pretending like they aren’t there. The trick is a success and Helen’s mother, Phoebe Maxwell and Deborah's mother, Penelope De Royster are convinced they can no longer be seen. Mrs. Maxwell and Mrs. De Royster are very much involved in the supernatural and are enthused when Helen's fiance, Tommy Tucker, is dressed as a swami end holds a seance. However, Phineas has his own private ghost at the seance and tells it to tickle Mrs. Maxwell until she agrees to the marriage. After enough tickles, she gives her permission to the wedding and finds it will be a double wedding with her sister, Polly, marrying Phineas and her daughter marrying Tommy. 36 Junior Class Play members, sitting, 1 to r: Janet McLaurin, Mary Hyde, Mary Lynn Coleman, Marla Hunter, Maria Hernandez, Karen Brown.

Working as a team the Journalism staff has striven to give you an accurate rec- ord of the year's activities, so that the moments lived, are captured forever in pictures and copy. Collected on paper and bound together, the yearbook serves its first function as a memory book and a permanent record. A record which will last through the years and keep alive times, personalities, and activities. In the pictures on this page you see glimpses of some of our staff members and advisor. Much goes into the making of a yearbook, there are many different areas and aspects of construction. Living through their actions, yearbook staff members receive much enjoyment and hard work, and also something else, a sense of accomplishment. To see the work of many hours set down in black and white for everyone to see and enjoy is a pleasure that few experience. In researching for our theme, They Who Live Life they being the student body, a quote by William James was found. It has some meaning in accordance with our theme and is also valuable words to live by. It was such that I wish to pass it on to you. Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact. This thought is one that should inspire and compel us to greater heights and degrees of achievement in our everyday lives. At this time I would like to thank all of those who have made this yearbook possible. It is well known to us that without such support as we received this year, a finished production would have been an unattainable goal. As Editor I would like to personally thank all of the members of the staff for the fine job they have done. No Editor could have had a finer or more competent staff. We, the staff and I, wish you all theenjoyment in reading this yearbook that we have experienced inputting it out for you. Sincerely yours, Editor in Chief TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY The World's Best Yearbooks Are Taylor-made .fr
