Desert Sands Presented By The Yearbook Staff Antelope Union High School Wellton, Arizona Volume XVI, 1969 This world—fast moving, always progressing, continually trying the new— may be likened to a laboratory of life. People---the experimenters—make it, change it, and add to what it already is. That is why life as a whole might be termed a Mod Experiment . In this space-age era, a mod experiment may be anything from a new word, to a craft carrying human beings into unknown realms. These events become commonplace and seem to most people a mere triviality. We, the students of Antelope are aware of the present and that there are somewhat puzzling experiments ahead of us. We strive to make sure that in our small but dubious school we are not left behind by a constantly changing and fast moving world. To keep up with the race, and as a part of all new developments, the modu- lar schedule has been introduced. This new schedule allows for group classes, small and large; individual study or practice time; and recreation time. The student, therefore, has the opportunity and responsibility of deciding what is best for him as an individual. A Mod Experiment to students at AUHS may mean skipping a mod, goofing off in the student center, or quietly (?) studying in the library. The mod system was a totally new experience for students and teachers alike, and a learning process for all involved. As a year has passed, so have a lot of new experiences. Let us deem the 1968-69 school year, A Mod Experiment . intent Contents Staff Activities 24 Organizations 42 Honors 58 Sports Classes 98 Ads 126 Staff Co-editors. . . .

SCHOOL Forever Onward As we descend from the new interstate freeway we can clearly see the progressing school of Ante- lope. On our left as we cross the old highway 80, is our one and only snack shack, which we call Shorty's . Opposite Short’s is our Antelope sign standing as a marker to all wending their way to the warm and friendly atmos- phere of Antelope. 7 The responsibilities of the new system keep Mr. Dawson on the go. Mr. Dawson was soley responsible for the devel- opment of the modular schedule at AUHS. He spent many hours during the 68 spring and summer months to organize the complicated schedules of each stu- dent and teacher. Before the new system was exposed to the student body, our principal did much research to find the assets of the mod schedule. An assembly was set up to explain the way it worked and in the late spring of 68 the school went by this schedule temporarily to give students and teachers an idea of what the following year would be like. This year Mr. Dawson played the role of host rather than observer as administrations from other schools visited to find out more about the mod schedule . Mr. Dawson explains that going Mod will require full cooperation from everyone. 10 Active School Board Purchases New Bus A new bus and an experi- mental schedule were just two of the steps taken in bettering our school, by the active school board. Members of the board are: Gordon Peterson, Bobby Smith, Frank McDaniel, Allan Marlatt, and Mrs. Clyde Knock. 11 Helen Grayek Freshman English Small Groups Profit English Department With the modular schedule in full effect this year, the English teachers found their small group sessions very valuable. More things were accomplished and everyone was given the opportunity to participate fully. Shirley Brand Senior English, Counselor William G. Claque Miss Grayek answers questions concerning grammar. Soph, and Jr. English 12 Iff Oder n English Miss Brand kept her Sr. English class very busy and enthusiastic. Because of the schedule arrangements, each small group was able to present panel discussions, and a reader's theatre before the entire Class. Miss Grayek, a new teacher at Antelope this year, was a great asset to the school. She was kept very busy teaching the Freshman class. Three times a week, the class met in the auditorium for a lecture. Mr. Claque, also a new teacher at Antelope has the demanding job of teaching Junior and Sophomore English. The classes are busy in both fields of Literature and Grammar. The small groups held during the week are used for special instruction. Chemistry students receive instruction from Mr. Frans. Mr. Loper demonstrates on the weight machine. Logan Brimhall Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry. Mr. Brimhall is helping a puzzled student in Geometry. Jerry Loper Biology, P, E. , Track and football coach. Ronald Frans Physics, Chemistry, General Math J. V. Basketball Coach 14 Mr. Frans explains that experiments are fun when done properly. Students learn by doing as teachers demonstrate 15 Mr. Horton is leaving to take Driver Ed. students driving. Harley Bridger Vice Principal Typing, Shorthand, Bookkeeping. f 16 Mr. Gray enjoys teaching the seniors about democracy. Teaching is their game Mr. Horton challenges his P. H. class in a game of volleyball. The new schedule proved to be quite effective for setting up labs in Mr. Bridger's typing classes. Skills For The Future 18 Unscheduled Time Beneficial Friendly attitude combined with effi- ciency and eagerness was beneficial in car- rying out the active modular schedule. Lab- oratories were open for many girls in both P. E. and Home Economics. The Ag. build- ing and shop were also available for much needed labs. 19 Edward Encinas Art. Spanish, J. V. Football Coach Antelope has benefited much from the Music, Art, and Spanish departments. The stu- dents and community were fa- vored with cultural entertain- ment and information. 20 Jose Perez instructs students on proper use of li- brary equipment. Mr. Baker. Librarian, has kept our Quiet Zone in order for easy studying. With the help of his active assistants, novels and reference books were always available. While mods were open for special study, tape recorders and records provided many uses. 21 Mrs. Cochran Office Help Mrs. Pershall has many helpers who pick u p absence slips, wait on students in the office, address letters, and do anything else necessary. The students are a necessity with the confusion of the new system. They are Sharon Stewart, Steve Short, Sharon Divelbiss, Dave Griffy, Becky Kline, Carolyn Hall, Evette Howard, Peggy Jo Pratt, Carol Grover, Joy Per- shall. Very few at Antelope realize the importance of Mrs. Cochran's role as secretary. She has been here for many years and has managed the office very efficient- ly- Mrs. Pershall can be 8660 taking lunch mon- ey, selling office supplies, or typing. She is a must in the office under the modular schedule. Mrs. Waggoner With the increase of enrollment comes the increase of the staff and so came Mrs. Wag- goner. She keeps busy grading papers, typing the bulletin and keep- ing an eye on the stu- dent center. 22 At right is head cook, Mable Whit- ten. Besides preparing nutritious meals during school, she and her efficient staff, (left; Ellie Glad- den, right; Edna Summerford) helped many organizations in mon- ey raisers. Including an enchilada -supper prepared for A club, was a hard-working day at preparing meals for the annual ”B -West music festival. They Who Produce Our Meals Custodians Mrs. Hernandez, (Below) is a new addition to the staff. She helped in many ways to produce our good lunches. Our custodians, left; Y.V. Hum- phrey, right; Joe LaPlante, kept our campus looking in beautiful condition. They were also skilled at keeping our facilities in working order. Mrs. Gipson, a newcomer, made sure our rooms were clean and comfortable. 23 Frog , Freshmen Slave Nancy Woodhouse cost $144.33 Excited . . apprehensive . . confused . . and maybe even a little frightened, the 75 freshmen toads began their Initiation Day, September 6. After the slave sale the afternoon of the day be- fore, they were prepared for almost any surprise. The boys, trying to dress like girls, and the girls, wearing gunny sacks with many other added trims, were not hard to distinguish around the campus. Throughout the day, wherever seniors and freshmen met, there were cries of 'Frog out, Freshman', or 'Dust the floor'. The climax of the day came when the fresh- men, under tlx; direction of the seniors presented an assembly for the entire student body. After the peanut pushing contest (pictured below), the Black List freshmen performed a special number for the waiting audience. By the end of the day, a sort of relief was felt by the seniors and fresh- men alike. Their Initiation Day had ended.

Varying from educational talks to light- hearted entertainment, the programs pro- vided relaxation for students and faculty alike. The pictures from programs on this page include: a professor from ASU who presented a science lecture, Mr. Foy, master of the unicycle, and Mr. Robert Mason, demonstrating his ESP ability to Wayne Wright. Below, a humorous magi- cian, aided by senior boys, entertains the audience. b I I e s 27 They're off and jumping! Western Days, sponsored by the Sophomores, started out with exciting gunny sack races. Featuring the most co- ordinated three-legged runners and jumpers on campus, the races proved to be a thrilling event for both spectators and runners. w € s t e r n D a y s A LONELY COWBOY 28 Western Best Dressed DAVE GRIFFY and PAM HASTIN contributed to the scene of the old west with their own idea of the western look . After two days of all-out western, Dave and Pam were chosen as best dressed western boy and girl on campus. The panel of judges representing die stu- dents and faculty announced its decision at the western dance following the other western activities. 29 Senior Class Play Cast members include left to right: L.

Night Of January 16th A chilling court drama in three acts, THE NIGHT OF JANUARY 16th, was a new experience for both the players and the director. With Karen Andre on trial for the murder of Bjorn Faulk- ner, Defense Attorney Stevens and Prosecuting Attorney Flint derive from the wit- nesses two contradicting stories. Guilty or Not Guilty ----the live jury selected from the audience had the task of making the decision. 30 CAST Prison Matron............ Bailiff.................. Judge Heath..............

It was a hi larious three - act play, that delighted everyone who had ever wondered how witchcraft had kept up with the times. 32 Director Mr. Kenneth Kessler And this is where we girl talk.

Performing entertaining routines, lead- ing pep songs and chants, and enthusiastically sup- porting color days, Pep Club, and the efforts of the Cheerleaders, they lend their full support t o t h e Spirit of Antelope. 35 Varsity Cheerleaders Fe’re with ya Team,... These energetic girls may have been seen at any sports event where the An- telope Rams were fighting for victory. In victory or defeat they were constantly leading our student body in thundering support'of our team. They were the backbone of our school spirit. The vivacious squad attended the I.C.F. workshop at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Arizona. The excellent workshop gave the girls a chance to exchange ideas, meet girls from other schools, and discuss the problems experienced by all schools large or small. During the week they learned chants, cheers, and ways of developing school spirit. Go team Go! 1! 1 Have you got that spirit, yea man!!!!!! 37 J.V, Cheerleaders Elected at the beginning of the year by a committee of student council members and teachers, theJ.V. Cheerleaders began the fun- filled job of cheering the J. V. team to victory. The girls attended a 11 J.V. games where they a - roused the spirit of the An- telope fans. Kris Leavitt, the only Junior on the squad, oftan flew to practices in her father's light airplane be- cause she lives in Hyder, Ariz. Paula Pershall, Nancy Woodhouse, Kris Leavitt, and Isela Hernandez. 38 Spirit Makers Cathy Curtis The only twirlerat Antelope this year, Cathy volunteered her services. Acting as drum major and twirler, she led the marching band during football half-times. She also performed several routines at basketball games. 39 Activities Vary Several boys enjoy a game of pool, as Mr. Dawson watches at a steak fry given by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wood- house, of Roll. The fry was given in honor of the Rams football team and the pep leaders. With a live band to create the mood, students rock at one of the after- the-game-dances. During football and basketball season, classes and clubs sponsored the dances after every home game. How good a judge are you, Marilyn? Pep Club sponsored a contest that gave the students the chance to vote, with money, for the best legs. Number 11 won first place, number 10 second, and number 7 third. 40 Saturday, February 15, was the day set to whitewash the A . This council-sponsored event was deemed necessary since the tra- ditional A painting was ex- cluded from the Frosh Initiation. With only a small percent of the Student body present, the A re- ceived one new leg and part of the crossbar. Firelight lights the faces of a few spirited students at the bon-fire rally held just before Home- coming. Entering in competition, each class provided a chant, song, or motto to sup- port the team and push them to victory. Filled with rooters and backers, a bus went to two different games this year. The first was the Parker vs. Antelope basketball game at Parker, and the second the state playoffs with Round Valley in Mesa.

In order to further discuss the problems and suggestions brought up by the students, they presented an open student council meeting with students par- ticipating in the discussions. 45 Desert Sands Editors, Becky Kline, and Karen Brown Desert Sands Desert Sands Staff: Whetten. Top Row; Hours of planning and hard work mixed with a lot of fun and good experience go into the making of a Yearbook. This year, under the direction of Mr. Baker, the staff prepared the 1969 Desert Sands. In order to pay much of the cost of production, the staff sold ads to Business Men in this area as well as in Yuma, and spon- sored the campaign for Desert Sands King and Queen. Bottom Row; M.

The Olympics come to Antelope Olympics was the theme for homecoming 1968-69. The float was constructed of five rings, representing the five rings of the Olympics. In the center a large torch stood over-looking the rings. It was made by the energetic senior class. Antelope fans were thrilled, when the Rams were victorious, homecoming night. The main event of the Phoenix Christian vs Antelope game was the introduction of the queen and her court. This took place Novem- ber 15, 1968, during half-time. Our lovely Queen, Linda Lucas, was crowned by Nancy Dice, the returning queen from last year. Anna Jones, flower girl, was escorted by Kent Loper, crown bearer. The attendants, dressed for the occasion, graced the float with their presence. The bonfire rally, the night before, burned anticipation and spirit into the souls of the students. All classes com- peted with growing excitement in the pep rally. Our queen and her attendants were presented in the glowing light. 63 The Queen and her Court Student Body elects Royalty Queen, Linda Lucus, crowns King, Frank Ramirez Senior Attendant Wendy Carlson Freshman Attendant Gwen Millner Sophomore Attendant Carolyn Dice Junior Attendant Lesia Canan Miss Christmas Cheer-Sharon Stewart Students weighing the goods.

Cinderella Ball Decorated in yellow and green with stars hung from the ceiling and gracing the stage and the entrance, it was mystified by the yellow angel hair encircling the columns. The moment came when lovely Wendy Carlson was announced Cinderella. Prince Charming was Leroy Baughn, crowned by Linda Spears, last year's Cinderella. To Dream the Impossible Dream, the theme of the Cinderella Ball, conveyed dif- ferent meanings to everyone associated with it. To the energetic FHA’ers that worked steadily for two weeks to make the Impossible Dream possible, it meant the fulfillment of a far off goal. To the invited guests, viewing the finished product for the first time, it seemed an unconnected world in which every- one's dreams were mixed together, making one dream come true, the Cinderella Ball. To the most esteemed guests of all, the parents, a feeling of contentment seeped in when they saw what a masterpiece their teenagershad created. To the hopeful can- didates it was a wishful dream ready to come true. 67 68 Joyce Smith Marilyn Roach FFA Sweetheart Ball The lights brightened; the voices hushed; and the Master of Ceremonies began announcing in a clear voice the candidates for Sweetheart. These girls were chosen by the FFA boys out of all the girls from the student body except seniors. They were interviewed by the FFA staff in front of the Future Farmers of America. Then, they all partic- ipated in the difficult task of milking a goat. After accomplishing this final goal, they awaited the an- nouncement of the three finalists: Marilyn Roach, Joyce Smith, and Kris Leavitt. The Master of Ceremonies proceeded, and that long awaited moment came. Sweetheart of 1969, Kris Leavitt, was escorted up the stairs and the crown placed upon her head. The two lovely final- ists, Joyce Smith and Marilyn Roauch were ushered up die stairs to stand in attendance to the FFA Sweet- heart. That moment passed, as all moments will, and the dance began again. The Future Farmers of America took great pride in their light and dark pink decorations for the Sweetheart Ball. Their decorations consisted of a lot of hard work, preparation, and good manage- ment on their part. 69 70 Juniors present Prom Every year the junior class presents a formal dance for the senior class, and each year the Prom seems more spectacular and thrilling than the last. This year the junior class deserves high praise, for the excep- tional work they did in erecting the deco- rations for the Prom. Lesia Canan, as Prom Chairman, did a wonderful job in managing the construction of the decora- tions and refreshments. The theme of the Prom this year was Showboat, and decorations and preparations were designed to create this setting. As you entered the door of the cafeteria, you stepped up onto a rustic wharf piled high with cargo, straight ahead you saw a ma- jestic showboat anchored at dock. The gangplank stretched from the wharf to the deck of the boat, lights streamed through gayly decorated windows, the door was open, and the voices from inside created a feeling of excitement, inviting you in. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Mint Juleps served at your table, and oil lamps dimly lighting the room, all helped to create the atmosphere of a late 1800 river- boat. The thrilling moment came, when the Master of Ceremonies announced the three handsome couples as candidates for Prom King and Queen. This year of 1969, with the inventions of the space age and of un- known accomplishments, we still cherish the traditions of the old, and thus we elect our King and Queen, Robbie Woodhouse and Karen Brown. Their charming court is graced by 71 Staters Every year Antelope is proud to send two of its leading stu- dents to the Boy and Girl State Convention. They are chosen for their distinguishing character and their ability in leadership and scholastics. This year, this honor has been awarded to John Bridger and Joyce Smith.

Coach Horton. Playing college ball for four years, he knows the name of the game . Under his supervision, the team has practiced diligently throughout the season. 88 Rams Push From Behind The Rams are not the tall aggregation that is closely associated with wins, but they are a hustling bunch, that have come through in the tight ones.
