Every person at AHS is an individual. Each has his own dreams, ideas, and ways of life. The isolated element on this page and succeeding division pages throughout your annual was designed to illustrate the evolution of a versatile individual. As you witness this shapeless mass of clay being molded into a likeness of a human being reflect on how all facets of your education have molded you into young adults that you are. And in a few years, when you look back upon this record ask yourself: What stands out most in my mind about high school? Will it be the history tests and geometry memorizations or will it be the school plays, band, concerts, and friendships? •Taken from THE SCHOOL LIFE, Page 33. 5 7 administration helps to round individuals The Auburn School Board helps to round the individgals in the school system. The board meets monthly to discuss various matters put before them by the schools. Mr. Albert Austin, superintendent, is in charge of making sure everything runs smoothly within the system. Another duty of Mr. Austin is attending the board meetings. Along with Mr. Austin, Mr. Cerdes, AHS principal, and Mr. Stoner, vice-principal, attend the meetings. Mr. Cerdes' main responsibility is to govern over all high school activities, while Mr. Stoner enforces school regulations. The individuals of Auburn are guided by Larry Curnes, counselor. Mr. Curnes keeps his free time open for conferences with the students. To keep the records straight, secretaries, Margaret Damme and Donna Kipling, work daily in the office carrying out many other duties that may occur.

A group of AHS students were huddled in the upper commons area around the new bulletin board which told of home room meetings, events during the month, senior announcements, the daily bulletin and a proverb for the week by Mr. Gerdes. This happened daily because AHS added a home room to its already busy schedule for the 74-75 school year.

Mr. Ramp previously taught in the Auburn School system two years at the middle school, as well as the high school stage band. Mr. Zimmerman graduated from Dana College in 1974. The two instructors worked jointly in the 1974-75 school year preparing for concerts and the district music contest. One of the main joint projects was a concert which featured a medley of songs called the Saga of Western America. The students, digressing from the tradition of wearing robes, dressed in costumes appropriate to the era depicted by the concert. Saloon girls, cowboys, and school marms were among the types of people portrayed. This change in custom was a refreshing experience for both the choir members and the audience. 13 drama classes use video tape to film The only way to learn about media is to use it. No one can learn about the media by reading out of a book. Jeff Falter English teacher, feels every student should have the chance to do some type of acting. His drama class wrote a script for a ten minute sketch which was based on the show Star Trek , which they called, Spaced Out. The purpose of the film was to aid students in the use of visual material. Besides drama, the language arts department offers a wide variety of subjects.

As the upperclassmen gave the frosh the critical once-over on the first day of school, these comments and hundreds of others like them could be heard. The frosh seemed determined to prove to the rest of the school that since they were at Auburn senior high to stay, they were going to make the best of it—and they did. School organizations increased their memberships as freshmen joined. During homecoming week they outdid themselves by winning the hall decorating contest. The avid and aggressive frosh also won second place in the inches of spirit contest. The freshmen won hall decorations! That's not fair, seniors get it every year by tradition!

But things get a little easier, once you understand , as the song goes. It takes a little getting used to, but before long the sophomores become organized enough to think of things besides homework. The sophomore year's coming allows participation in all reserve sports, math and science club, and eligibility to try out for drill team and varsity cheerleading.

They sold tickets for the fall play, sold magazines to anyone who would buy them, and worked the concession stand at football games. Choosing class rings was one of the best parts of being a junior: what color stone, what kind of mounting, what style? After putting on the eighty-eighth annual junior-senior banquet and prom, most juniors looked back with wonder: wonder of how they ever made it through American history tests and shorthand exams, and of what it will be like to be a senior.

Great promise was shown in the fields of academics, sports, and drama. This year's senior class was also the first one to complete four full years in the new home of AHS. But ask any senior if his time spent here was all work, and his reply will be a short “You've got to be kidding! In the last few days of quiet reflection, you heard many senior's last thoughts of life at AHS. They ranged from, “Hey, do you remember the song we made up to march to at the State Fair? , and Debbie, remember how much trouble we got into in Mrs. Vaughn's Typing I class? to Hey, guys, it's really over. We won't be coming back next fall! , and I'm really gonna miss you!
