You will learn to recognize the clues and watch the events that led to a successful year at AHS! Good luck! 5 Faculty The AHS faculty and administrators were the accomplices to missions that were executed during the year. With their assistance, students were able to discover the clues to fulfilling their missions. Teachers guided students toward proficiency in various skills necessary to succeed in college, the business world, homemaking and life. LB 503, a new Law in Nebraska Legislative bill 503, passed in Nebraska's unicameral in 1976, reached Auburn high school in the spring of 1977.

Congratulations! You have now completed your study of this year's missions. This book and the memories contained in it are yours. The book will never self-destruct, but what you choose to do with it is up to you. You can use it as a dust collector or as a guide to help you in future missions you may become involved in during your lifetime. Whatever you do, don't let this book fall into the hands of the enemy; we don't want them to learn the secrets of our successful mission. Thank your for the time and effort you personally put in to make Auburn high school's mission a success. Good day and good luck.
