She brought her world to us — and we grew! In appreciation for her work, we dedicate the 1977-78 Arapaho High School Annual to her. SARAH C. TURNEY 2 So many nights I’d sit by my window waiting for someone to sing me his song. So many dreams I've kept deep inside me Alone in the dark But now you come along And you light up my life. . B ■ You give me hope to carry on. You light up my days And fill my nights with song. It can’t be wrong when it feels so right. Cause you — You light up life. 5 SENIORS ARE ANNUAL KING AND QUEEN FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW. This year the seniors captured the crowns again in the Annual King and Queen competition! King and Queen are Ronda McDow and Ivan McDow. Other candidates were: David Watson and Donna Ruther- ford; Kevin Donelson and Leslie Carter; Clendon Parkhurst and Susan Muno. BEST CITIZENS Allen Shepherd and Kaye Mullins were selected by the High School Staff as best Citi- zens of the year. Outstanding Students are nominated by the faculty and selected by a vote of the student body. This year’s Junior High Outstanding Students are Nancy Sappington and Clendon Parkhurst. Senior High Outstanding Students Kim Preston and Kenny Daugherty were also named Mr. and Mrs. A.H.S. and are pictured on page 8 and 9. OUTSTANDING STUDENTS MRS. AHS Her world is as varied as are her moods, as undefina- ble as she is. Some days it's filled with telephone calls and talking for hours just to catch up on all the latest gossip. Other days, the solitude of her room where she becomes sentimental again . . . about dried corsages, old letters and cards, and listening to those old but special songs! Kim was also nominated by the teachers and voted on by the student body as the Outstanding High School Girl. MR. AHS His world has many parts. You can read his life on his boots. If you see his wild-strip pick-up heading out of town, he’s going hunting. If it is in the summer time, he’s harvesting wheat. When he's dreaming it’s hard to tell what's going on in his head. When he smiles the whole world smiles! Not only was Kenny selected as Mr. AHS but was also nomi- nated by the teachers and voted on by the student body as the Outstanding High School Boy. 9 ACADEMIC HONORS are earned by top students in Junior and Sen- ior High School. 1.

They are also involved in extracurricular activities inside the school. They create order out of organized confu- sion. They are our friends and we respect them. Arapaho is lucky to have such good teach- ers.
