People at Auburn had fun all year long. It started at the beginning of school in September when friends met on the front lawn and at lockers to compare programs and gossip. New romances became current history and lent fuel to the who's with whom fires. School fun took many forms—pep rallies, committee meetings, cheering the team to victory, after game celebrations, class and club parties, social events like the proms, hops, and fetes, and the planned and unplanned classroom jokes. Individual enjoyment came from between class rendezvous with the one and only, coke dates after school, buzzing around town during the noon hour, trying to play hooky, study hall antics, slumber parties, gab and gossip sessions, and movie dates. Yes, people at Auburn had fun all year long whether they were cheering, dancing, or planning activities. For the seniors it all ended in May, but for many of the teenagers at least one more year of fun and growing up awaits them at AHS.

TALENT of all kinds came to the fore during this school term. The Sad Sack Quartet (top) was one of many student groups to offer entertainment during the student convo series . . . Would-be artists (center), such as these decorating for the Hoopster Hop, got a healthy workout with paint and paper as they prepared for dances and parties . . . Those students with dramatic inclinations were given a chance to perform, as these juniors were in their class play. People at Auburn were loaded with talent this year. Evidence of this came in the form of superior ratings earned by instrumental and vocal musicians and speech students. The journalists also earned a high rating in national competition. Both the junior and senior classes presented by the music department were also well received. Small music groups were in constant demand at local civic, church, and social club meetings, the band attended two clinics, and the vocalists took an exchange convocation to Nebraska City. A new innovation in convocations gave the members of various clubs and organizations a chance to sing, act, and otherwise perform before an audience. Starting in January, convo programs were presented in rapid succession by the Library Club, Barker and Bulldog Staffs, Student Advisory Board, Future Farmers, Freshman Class, Spanish Club, Sophomore Class, Chorus, and Future Homemakers. Numerous committee meetings gave other students an opportunity to develop leadership abilities and artistic talents needed to provide elaborate decorations for many social affairs. Auburn students have talent, but what's more important, they are given an opportunity to use it. This page sponsored by PHILLIPS' DAIRY QUEEN Emily, Wlat, and Kay

Fourth-year people at Auburn first realized that they were seniors when they were assigned to the select seats at convocation. More proof came when they selected their class officers. Awed glances of underclassmen further impressed upon them their coveted position that had been just a dream four years ago. Class rings, announcements, exchange of pictures, and plans for the future added an air of finality. From the mad whirl of senior social activities and studies, the spotlight fell in turn on the Regents' exams, the class play Our Miss Brooks , the May Fete, the Junior-Senior Banquet, Sneak Day, Class Day, Baccalaureate, and finally the long awaited night. Commencement. These four years had passed all too quickly, but Auburn seniors will forever treasure their memories of Auburn high school. AFTER SCHOOL coke dates (top) brought many hours of fun and relaxation for Senior couples. The Regents' exams were tough (center), but also a good check on mastery of subject matter. Mortarboards and gowns brought that once in a lifetime look (bottom) which signified completion of a successful high school career.
