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.

Desert Echo Staff Many hours of hard work were put into each edi- tion of the paper this year. 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

Freshman Initiation Initiation of Freshmen Freshmen initiation is held annually to welcome the freshmen and acquaint them with the students, faculty and surroundings of Antelope Union High School. Freshmen attire was for girls: boy's pajamas and boots, topped with different varieties of vegetables strung a- round the neck. For the boys: a woman's wig and nightgown, painted toenails, and barefeet, stringing their shoes around their neck. The day's activities were assigned; girls picked up trash, while the boys painted the A on Antelope Hill. When this was completed, the student body assembled in the gym for the climax of Frosh initiation. Through the remaining thirty minutes, the freshmen parti- cipated in different events, such as, singing school songs, r' an obstacle race, and a game in which the seniors attached one balloon on each of ten freshmen. They were also given a roll of newspaper and were instructed to break other's while keeping their own balloon intact. 30
