Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1979 volume:

1979 Desert Sands Antelope Union High School Wellton, Arizona 85356 Volume XXV Contents The theme 'memories' was chosen for the 1978-79 yearbook in the hope that this year would hold special memories for each person who attended Antelope. Memories of times shared with friends, old and new—Memories of achievements and goals—of gains as well as losses—Memories of living, learning, laughing, and sometimes crying—Memories of overwhelming victories and heartbreaking defeats. All these and so much more. The times we experienced can never be taken away from us but must be treasured in each person's heart. Be they good memories or bad ones, they are ours. Slave Sale Big Success 1. Auctioneer Curt Bowman tries to get Marlene Dungan to sing a song. 2. Robert Nottingham looks away as John Grout takes a bid. 3. Bernardo Castillo seems to be jumping his way into a buyers heart. The seniors made $624 from the Slave Sale, the two Freshman sold for the most were: Shonda Pierson $35 and Tod Blanton $30.
