world peace. His unprecedented, one-day visit in the U.S. was the culmination of plans by men of all faiths. 7 After Surgery President Johnson was photographed in a reclining chair at Bethesda Naval Hospital the day after his gall bladder operation on October 8. He conducted the work of his office from his hospital room and his Texas ranch during his recuperation. 8 Proud Student —Charles Craig, 19-year-old freshman at Iowa university, demonstrated his criticism of draft-card burning incidents by displaying his draft card on his jacket with the note: “I'm a draff card carrying American and proud of it.” Our role in the Vietnamese war sparked the incidents. 9 Hlackout The glittering metropolis of New York City was thrust into darkness on November 9 by a massive power failure affecting hundreds of miles along the eastern seaboard. City residents and commuters were stranded in offices, railroad and subway stations for hours before service was restored. The crippling condition was caused by a faulty relay at a Canadian generating station near Niagara Falls. 10 New Ambassador—Arthur Goldberg was named U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations by the President after the death of Ambassador Adlai Stevenson on July 14 in London. Goldberg was secretary of labor under President Kennedy and a U.S. Supreme Court Justice when named to the U.N. post. 11 Startling Fashions—Bold and contrasting blocks of color were the youthful fashion note of 1965. The eye-catching designs even extended the length of campus stockings worn with the costumes. 12 Royalty on lour Princess Margaret and her husband. Lord Snowdon, arrived in New York on November 4 for a whirlwind tour of the U.S. During their visit, they took lime out for fun-filled activities such as a ride on a cable car in Frisco and gala parties in Hollywood and the nation's capital. TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD 2 AUBURN ADMINISTRATION 6 FACULTY 7 HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS 13 CLASSES 21 AUBURN NEBRASKA ACTIVITIES 33 ATHLETICS 67 SENIORS' ACTIVITIES 74 AIMS In an effort to better the school system and meet the increased needs of the community, AHS delved into many new projects and educational programs in 1966. Student news came into focus through the rebirth of a school paper, the Barker, as student views were expressed by a newly organized debate team. The answer to a long-felt need for improved reading skills came in the installation of reading machines. The senior class of 1966 began a new project by giving the initial funds necessary for the purchase of a marquee to advertise coming events at AHS. It is the wish of the seniors that AHS will continue aiming even higher in the education of those who remain to graduate from this school. mJ L 2 ACADEMICS 3 ATHLETICS Student life at AHS was not all classrooms, books, and homework. Social activities and sports somehow found a spot in the busy schedule. Activities ranged from departmental organizations to dances sponsored by the various clubs to the annual May Fete. As improvements were made in the scholastic offerings, so were they made in the athletic area in the form of more modern equipment and the addition of new sports to the already existing athletic program. Athletics, academics, and activities thus combined to form a memorable year for the student body of AHS. 5 ADMINISTRATION BOARD OF EDUCATION: Bob Hemmingsen, Pres.: Gene Ely; Howard Kite; Dr. P. M.

The split from Britain was made in an attempt to insure a white minority rule of the African colony. It was the first such move against Britain since the American colonies broke away in 1776. Britain retaliated swiftly and took the problem to the U.N. Security Council, which asked all nations to enforce an oil embargo against the African colony.
