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
