 This is Channel 25. AHS-TV. For twenty-five years AHS has offered educational, cultural and social programs designed to provide a good general background for students interested in developing artistic talents and appreciation for the arts. Even more important. It provides students with valuable opportunities, through classes, clubs, sports and student council, to learn to work cooperatively with others, to get along with them and to develop real leadership. In our studio many interesting programs are born. Some of these are dramatic, others ortistic, and still others are musical in nature, but all are educational. There are no closed doors here at AHS-TV. The opportunities for success are many and the degree of success attained is solely dependent upon one's ambition and desire to learn. There is much activity at our station now, for two shows which have been televised for a long time are preparing to leave and move to larger studios. We sincerely hope that this book will always recreate for the cast and technicians in words and pictures memorable scenes of their life here on Channel 25 during their high school years.
