70 WILDCAT Volume 25 Archer City High School Archer City, Texas 70 — The Year of the Lively Ones In 70 - the year of the lively ones, we were con- stantly on the go, trying to catch every facet of life. We filled an empty space in time with animation and activity. Rather than existing in a state of idleness, we lived in true involvement, combining initiative and desire to create a mood of happiness. 1970 was a per- petual rotation from our adolescence to our adulthood, ambitious, and historical. New ideas broadened our minds, and with them came innovations in fashion, rec- reation, and methods of education. And then our year, the year we had anticipated for so long, was concluded. The 1970 Wildcat is not the work of one person - it is the creation of a whole staff. We have hoped to capture many moments which will someday be cherished memories. We gave meaning and warmth to every aspect of our jubilant days at ACHS. We tasted happiness and success in 70 - the year of the lively ones. Your co-editors. Traditional Excitement Homecoming '69 ... bandsmen delivering mums ... exes tea ... spirited pep rally ... beat Chilli- cothe ... fire batons ... red roses and a missing crown ...

Athletes recognized for their achievements were: Jimmy Sheppard, all-district football, all-state honorable mention football, most valuable lineman; Freddy Walsh, most valuable player; Eddie Wright, all- district football, most valuable back; Allen Campbell, all-district football, all-district basketball, top re- bounder and free thrower; Rusty Denning, all-district football, all-district basketball.

They helped us soak up knowl- edge and met our new ideas with unmatched enthusiasm. We sought and they gave. For the 161 stu- dents of ACHS the demanding routine of school life was made lighter through the energy, understanding, and pa- tience of the faculty. Their spirit of participation challenged our in- terests and made them more than just part of the CURRICULUM in 70 the year of the lively ones.

Elementary Teachers Train Young Minds 24 We sought, we learned, we un- derstood. We also knew there was a special kind of spirit here, with all the hundreds of different personalities. All we really had in common was our youth, but that always seemed to be enough. In our CLASSES we ex- panded ourselves to many dimensions and followed different courses of study to fit our own ambitions. We experienced closeness to fellow stu- dents, helping one another to com- prehend classroom moments. In spite of our cliques and circles of friends, we were all Wildcats, and that helped to make ’70 a real year of the lively ones. 25 26 1970 Top Scholars Identified Freddy Walsh 94.70 Valedictorian Carol Groves 93.26 Salutatori an Four years of hitting the books every night, staying at the library for long hours, and striving to maintain good averages rewarded these seven graduates as they were announced “tops” in the graduating class of 1970.

Traveling to New York and Washington D.C. ... climbing those stairs a final time ... leaving some classmates behind, and somehow trusting them with all that was ours before. We feel again the loneli- ness of empty halls that we walked bewildered just four years ago ... taking a look at each other one last time and shedding tears of joy for all the time we’ve spent together ... finally, the Night came when we all looked back and said goodbye to ACHS ... walked off the stage into the world we will one day shape ... knowing it was the beginning not the end for the Seniors of 1970.

We were thrilled, we were excited, we were always looking forward. We lived in a state of anticipating that final moment. Whether we won or lost the participation made it all worthwhile. The pace quickened because of the HONORS achieved or awarded at ACHS. These honors which today seem to mark the highlights of our lives will tomorrow be the memories of '70 the year of the lively Mr. ACHS . . . Freddy Walsh Intelligence, initiative, and friendliness characterize Freddy Walsh’s personality. His never exhausted energies were wel- come in activities of the National Honor Society, Student Council, and “A” Club. As Senior class president, Freddy was an outstanding leader who set a good example for his fellow students. 74 Characterized by her humor and con- genial smile, Debie Martin was a favorite among many acquaintances. Active par- ticipation in band, basketball, Jr. and Sr. plays, National Honor Society, FHA, press club, and annual co-editor diversi- fied her interests and activities. She was selected DAR Good Citizen and repre- sented the American Legion Auxiliary at Girls’ State last year. Miss ACHS . . . Debie Martin 75 76 IF Homecoming Queen . . .
