He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your hoard and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace. Kahlil Gibran Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade oj the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows-then let your heart say in silence. God rests in reason. And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the skv-then let your heart say in awe, God moves in passion And since you are a breath in God's sphere, and a leal in God’s forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.

Gerdes 62 Superintendent of Schools: AH Mrs. Barbara Moore’s first year as school nurse proves to be challenging. Classes Employ New Methods After being in the new building for two and one half years, several changes have taken place in several of the courses offered. For example, the science department has introduced two new courses: Advanced Chemistry and Physics II. The philosophy of science education today is “learning by doing.” Experimentation is a big part of the science courses. The new facilities and equipment are largely responsible for making these courses possible to our students. The new IBM typewriters in the typing classes help the students boost their speed and accuracy. Office practice has acquired many new machines for simulated job training. The senior girls in office practice made a step forward with the vocational program which has been initiated since coming to the new school. This gives on the job experience for the girls through businesses downtown that have engaged in this program. Secretaries. Mrs. Margaret Damme and Mrs. Donna Kipling, work consistently with routine duties.

In the athletic department, the Girls Association for Letter Women (GAL) sponsored intramural tournaments for girls in basketball and volleyball. The art department provided two new classes for these students, sculpture and pottery. Music students were offered several exciting experiences. The vocal music department introduced a new group called the Swing Choir. Sunny Florida and marching in the Orange Bowl Parade highlighted the band’s successful year. The English department developed several unique courses to serve individual interests. A wider choice of subjects allows the student to have a program suitable to his needs. Freshmen and sophomores are on a revolving plan with a different topic every quarter. Individual study in World Cultures completes a well-rounded curriculum for the Auburn high school. The Faculty-JC’s game ends as a defeat for faculty but a victory for the band's goal to go to the Orange Bowl. Frances Rarick English. French John Patras Geography Larry Dankenbring Ted Russ History.

Brettmann R. Casey The class of 1976 promises to be an ambitious group. Although freshmen are not included in all clubs and activities, their first year is a busy one. The first day of school can be quite an experience for a ninth-grader. New teachers, a new school, and new subjects all take some getting used to. The trauma of the first hectic days of school was eased, however, with the help of the Student Council. They acted as guides for new students and freshmen who were lost. The freshmen temporarily escaped their fates as initiates when the initiation was postponed because of inclement weather. A later dat was set for a spring ceremony, and the freshmen members of the Student Council, Joni Sherwood and Kevin Brown, helped in planning the activities the upperclassmen would use in properly inducting the frosh.

The sophomore year opens up many opportunities to the tenth grader. It provides the girls with a chance to try out for cheerleader, drill team, or flag corp. The boys become eligible to participate in reserve wrestling, basket-bail, and football. Many elective classes are open to the sophomore, providing him with the chance to pursue his particular area of interest. Among these classes are: Spanish, P.E., vocal and instrumental music, and art. This year an experiment was tried with the sophomore English classes whereby each class was rotated quarterly, changing teachers and topics studied. The sophomore class provided the waiters and waitresses for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Those serving were: Melody Wininger and Robbie McKercher, Karen Aufenkamp and Jeff Henry, Brenda Holding and Denis Lessor.

Seniors on the Go Matt Stcvcrwald. a transfer student, enjoys a magazine. The senior class of 1973 started the year off right, when it won the hall decorating contest held before homecoming. This contest was a class competition intended to promote school spirit. The year was concluded with the Junior-Senior Prom on May 5. Many new English courses were open to the class of '73 this year, broadening the English Department and providing seniors with the opportunity to prepare themselves more thoroughly for their future plans. Also, new to the curriculum, were several new vocational classes for those who plan to follow a specific vocational field. The senior class chose for its motto, “We may change with the seasons, but the seasons will not change us. Aqua and gold were selected for the class colors, and the flower was the daisy. 98 PAMELA KAY LOKIE ANGELA GAIL MAYBERRY DAVID TODD LUNZMANN PAMELA SUE McCOMAS ANN ELIZABETH MAGOR JERRILYNNE MOORE Patricia a McConnell GREGORY L PALMER GLORIA KAYOBERMEYER JOHN H OSBORNE KENNETH L.
