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

STUDY THE 3 R'S People at Auburn are encouraged to get a firm foundation in the 3 R's, for the success of any student is greatly determined by his mastery of the fundamentals. The old grade school trio, readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic undergo a considerable change in high school. Reading becomes an integral part of every course, but the reading of good literature is still emphasized in English classes. A 1500 volume library gives plenty of supplementary reading material in all subject fields. 'Riting, still a basic communication skill, takes on new forms and implications in math, chemistry, shorthand, and journalism classes. However, the grammar aspects are still emphasized in the English classes. Rithmetic gets more complicated and challenging as students solve for unknowns in algebra, geometry, and trig. Auburn students get fundamental information about history, government, and science. The vocational fields of agriculture; homemaking, and business are also offered for those who are interested. This is ample evidence that the 3 R's are growing up to the students' needs. This page sponsored by KUWITZKY ELECTRIC Wiring — Appliances — Fixtures PLENTY of reading material is available for students in the 1500 volume high school library (top) . . . Writing takes on a new twist as commerce majors literally make tracks In shorthand class (center) . . .

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. This page sponsored by MURPHY and BROWN HARDWARE Dependable Hardware EVEN FUN and RELAXATION can serve a double purpose. The Sweetheart Dance (top), as well as other similar affairs, give the students a chance to develop social graces . . Pep rallies (center) give ample opportunities to let off steam and develop school spirit . . . club parties, such as this Spanish Club fiesta, helped to instill the feeling of comradeship, and cooperation.
