Through success comes the art of grace- ful acceptance. Through failure—not neces- sarily academic—comes the learning of val- uable lessons. AHS has had its share of both this year. For the first time Career Day was a huge success. The Journalism Department copped the first All-American in the school’s history. AHS walked off with the honors in the Fort Worth Science Fair and sent represetatives to nationals. Although Senior day started off resembling the Florida Everglades, the sen- iors made the best of it—mud and all. All the work put forth on the Senior Banquet brought rewarding results. Failures were also included in the annals of 1964. There were individual failures, group failures, and national failures. Home- coming festivities had begun with eagerness and anticipation and ended in tragedy. The make-up of a nation and its people was se- verely tested during those difficult days of recovery from the assassination of President Kennedy. Tearfully we watch the symbol of a nation at half-mast. 13
