 A. H. S. to thee we shall be . . chorus voices blend in the strains of our Alma Mater. Just as roots provide a strong, basic underlying structure for a tree, so does a faculty assume an analogous relationship with school. Endeavoring to promote an active interest in learning among the stu- dent body, teachers play an integral part in molding today's youth into tomorrow's leaders. Although the profession occa- sionally requires one to emulate the duties of platoon sergeant and guidance coun- selor in consecutive moments; neverthe- less, a teacher must continually bear in mind his ultimate purpose, educating stu- dents. However, one should not be de- ceived by the intellectual aloofness of the faculty; for in reality, they exemplify the ideal medium between business and pleasure, not only strictly adhering to a meticulously pre-designed schedule but also allocating a few well-deserved min- utes of the regular grind specifically for teaching.

Student Council President Charlie Browne mokes a few appropriate remarks during the official presentation of flags to homerooms. Much of the prestige which a school acquires is determined to a considerable measure by the students themselves. United and working corporately for the betterment of the school, they form a basic strength within the educational system. In this respect a parallel may be drawn between the trunk of a tree and the students. Without them school becomes a meaningless void, possessing no lackadaisical classroom atmosphere, no echoes of victory from Stone Staduim, and no thunderous applause from the auditorium. However, equally notable is the academic endow- ment bestowed upon students by the school. With emphasis being centered more and more upon occupational specialization, she must invariably progress with modern educational trends in order to make available to her students the edification necessary for future vocational proficiency.
