Dedication The ATALANTA STAFF dedicates the 1960 ATA LANTA to the 1958-1959 Redwings basketball team. These Redwings brought more honor to themselves, the students of ACHS, and the people of Atlanta than most small schools and communities dare to dream of. Their brilliant record plus their exceptional cooperation, sportsmanship, and determination will be a luminous legend in the history of ACHS. Under the superb instruction of Coach Eldridge Doc Kinsey, the '58-'59 Redwings achieved a re- cord of 29 consecutive-wins as opposed to one loss and a flawless conference record. With practice, perseverance, and providence, the team sped from victory to victory, capturing first place honors in the Kickapoo'Conference Tournament, the Hartsburg-Emden Invitational Tournament, and the Regional Tournament in Lincoln. As a stupendous climax to this incredible season, the Atlanta Redwings journeyed for the first time in their history to the sectional Tournament in Springfield. There the team first met defeat--defeat only in the sense that the season was terminated. They were victorious in being representative of the Atlanta Student body, for they exhibited to the public the character, scholarship, and industry characteristic of the students at ACHS. To this epitome of talent and teamwork from ACHS, we proudly dedicate the 1960 ATALANTA. 4

Mr. Winston L. Harwood, Principal and Superintendent of Atlanta High School. Foreword Co-operation in school work among students, parents, and teachers is the first requisite of a good educational program. The latter part of the word co-operation is operation . In other words, A action must be involved and action which is to produce worth-while results will usually entail a certain number of differences between people. The reconciliation of these differences without loss of principle is vital to co-operation. It is this type of pro- cedure which identifies progressive and constructive action as a means to real co-operation.
