Now we have reached the final point to which we may go at AHS. We are thinking of the things that lie ahead in the future but it's an opportune time to take a look at some of the events that happened during our four wonderful years. During our freshman year we groped along until the routine of high school was no longer a battle. Phil Lenz, Gary Frazer, Terry Edwinson, Pam Thomas, Nancy Footit, Libby Lentz and Kay Wagner were home- room presidents. We participated in many activities which proved ourselves to the upperclassmen. Linda Bell was a majorette in the band and Dorothy Draper, Janet Meyer, Sara Townsend, Judie Craig and Barbara Teschner participated in the White Chapel Bell Choir. Our frosh football team earned proud compliments from the coach, Mr. Smith, by winning every game of the season. Neal Smith and Terry Edwinson served as co-captains for the team. The girls shouting Go, Big Green! were Libby Lentz, Kay Wagner, Barby Feldman and Mary Kim Buckley. Libby and Terry Edwinson reigned over the annual sports dance that year. We were 178 strong, not only active in sports but also in the A-Club, Kayettes, Modern Dance and other musical groups. Finally we passed from underclassmen to upperclassmen and we started off with a boom. We built the winning Homecoming float and David Hiner was elected Trailblazer chief. We were represented on the B-team cheerleading squad by Linda Bell, Barby Feldman and Kay Wagner. When class elections were held for the next year we really had our chance at politics. Elected were David Heck, president; Dick Paste, vice-president; Sue Hibler, secretary and Barbara Spears, treasurer. Many of our classmates took part in the all-school play. Carol Scholz did a fine job in the Miracle Worker and Barb'y Feldman was excellent as Anne in The Diary of Anne Frank. Those inducted into the honor society were Linda Bell, Mary Kim Buckley, Carolyn Carr, Barby Feldman, Gary Frazer, Mignon Griffith, David Heck, John Wisniewski and Karen Yost. In the fall of 19§2, our junior football players worked hard, giving much promise of things to come. Pete Enich, Stan Spinner, Paul Griffin and Neal Smith helped the basketball team to a record year. Carol Scholz and Kay Wagner were enthusiastic varsity cheerleaders and again we won the Homecoming float com- petition. Rarbv Feldman and Elaine Walczak took leads in the all-school play our junior year. Jeff Wainscott, Barby and Carolyn Carr added strength to our debate team and won many awards. The prom, our going-away pre- sent to the seniors was one AHS will never forget. Decorated in the theme of a Roman Holiday, it was said to be one of the most beautiful ever to be presented in the history of the school. Jeannie Irvin, a junior, served as our Trailblazer editor. Janice Hoecker, Marie Dyer, Carol Janden, Susan Beck- man, Terry Wells, Susan Moore and Sara Townsend were inducted into the National Honor Society. We finally made it! With our heads held high, we became the proud sen- iors of AHS. We started off with a bang by winning for the third straight year, the Homecoming float contest. 15

in athletics we started of by bring- ing the first football co-championship (league) to our school. Terry Wells, team captain, was elected to first team all-state. In basketball we finished a very respectable third in the league. Pete Enich won the league scoring championship and also a berth on the all-state team. Later it was announced that Pete had been selected to the All-American high school squad. Mark Paris, Hugh Mitchell, and Dave Hiner did a fine job on the gymnastics team, which won the league championship for the second year in a row. Cliff Brat- ton made a fine showing for AHS at the state track meet. Class officers were Libby Lentz, president; David Heck, vice-president; Elaine Walczak, secretary and Gary Wohlgemuth, treasurer. Jeff Wainscott took command as student council pres- ident. Pretty, petite Susan Marlatt reigned as Homecoming queen. She was attended by Kay Wagner, Mignon Griffith, Marie Dyer and Linda Bell. Cindy Tilson represented AHS at the annual Halloween Festival in Hiawa- tha. Linda Bell served as head cheerleader, along with Kay Wagner, Susan Marlatt, and Carol Scholz. Marie Dyer was elected president of Kayettes while Don Jensen led the Kays. A-club president was Linda Bell and Lynn Laurie headed the Pep G4ub. Mary Kim Buckley and Gary Frazer reigned over the Winter Festival and attending them were: Bette Henry, Bob Eillott, Gary Candreia and Nancy Lillard. Barbara Feldman, Jeff Wainscott, Marlin Frakes, Bob Elliott, Mike Shook, Jayne Guthery, Terry Edwinson and Janet Meyer were excellent performers in the annual Senior play, Wuthering Heights. They continued their excellence into the debate and speech world by capturing a trophy at the state speech tournament and many other awards in other competition bringing to a close one of the greatest debate years in the history Awards were also won by members of the BECK (Business Education Club) at the convention in Emporia. Winning first place awards were Susan Beckman, Marlin Frakes and Elaine Walczak. Bob Behrend, Carol Maycroft and Carol Jansen brought back second and third place awards. Honorable mention went to Lola Barthal and Bertha Christian. National Honor Society inductees were Lola Barthel, Jayne Guthery, Sue Hibler, Libby Lentz, Janet Meyer, Pam Thomas and Cindy Tilson. Superior ratings were won at the district musical contest by the senior girls woodwind, Mary Kim Buckley with a flute solo and Linda Bell in a violin quartet. Mary Kim, Mignon Griffith, Dorothy Draper, Libby Lentz and Helen Cave made up the flute choir which received a superior rating. All the other musicians received a fablous trip to Enid, Oklahoma, to perform in a large band festival. In vocal music, Barbara Spears and Dorothy Draper received II's for their performance at the district contest. Editors of the school paper, the Optimist, were Janice Hoecker, Phil Lenz and Terry Wells. Chuck Sacks was co-editor of the Trailblazer. We can never forget the kid day activities or the wonderful time we had at the junior-senior picnic. It is with great pleasure that we recall these pleasant memories of the years at the wonderful school on the hill, AHS. We will be part of the history forever and needless to say, it will be a part of our hearts for the rest of our lives. There are things in our lives which are easily forgotten and which time dims. However, there is some- thing about old school ties which remain with us. Perhaps at times they lie dormant, but now and then they are bound to spring up and give us a lift—perhaps when we are at our lowest ebb. No matter what we think or care to think, there are no memories so refreshing as our school years. of the school. 16 ELAINE WALCZAK AND DAVID HECK
