Entertainment was pro- vided by the stage band and foreign exchange student Sachiko Asai, who played the piano. The Bicentennial theme was carried out in red, white and blue, with each senior having a red rose. Neal Campbell and Kay Wenig were crowned Class King and Queen.

This was the first year the girls have been in a conference which they won by receiving the fewest losses and having a 20-1 record in the conference.

The team finished the season by placing 3rd in the Spencer Invitational, 1st in Sectionals and tied for 3rd at district action.

On to Camp- 55 Mouse at Pooh Comer This fall's production presented AHS with another taste of children's theatre. A very talented cast under the direction of Claudia Niles and Cindy Snyder, student di- rector, presented HOUSE AT POOH CORNER on October 14th and 15th. HOUSE AT POOH CORNER was the third children's theatre production at AHS. Children's theatre introduces the stage to elementary age students and provides our dramatists with the challenge of portraying characters. Cast and crew worked hard to present us with this delight- ful play. 58 Student director and partial cast pause for a picture. Oh. Tlggers like strengthening medicine, too! It’s another one of those rehearsals, huh, Snyd? 59 Zhe Effect of Gamma Kays on Paul Zindel's Pulitzer Prize winning drama THE EFFECT OF GAMMA RAYS ON MAN-IN-THE-MOON MARIGOLDS was presented on November 19, 1975. This drama, the first to see AHS stages in several years, was directed by Mrs. Carol Hansen with Peggy Jensen, student director. The cast consisted of only five characters, and each role was a demanding one. From Beatrice's dynamic ups and downs to Nanny's hotsy water and honey, all five act- resses were outstanding. The script called for an elaborate set depicting Bea- trice's living room with over two hundred hand props in- volved. The tech crew, headed by Vicky Jensen, worked thirty long hours to build this realistic box set. The special effects that added so much to the play were produced by Jen Stewart and Perry Petersen. Barb Jensen and Jan Jor- gensen kept busy as they were in charge of properties. All those involved in Marigolds —cast, crews, and directors-deserved very much the standing ovation they received at the end of the play. A little lower, please.. .aah, that's it! Atom...atom...What a beautiful word! Is it Dr. Jekyl or Mr. Hyde? It's just Deb Sorensen chang- ing into Janice Vickery. 40 Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds 61 Speech Students Receive Zop Ratings On January 24. nineteen students participated in District Large Group Speech Contest at Stuart. They all received I ratings, enabling them to attend the State Con- test at Avoca on February 7 where THE CHILDREN'S STORY , Where Have All theLightningBugsGone? , and The Diary of Adam and Eve received I ratings. Twenty-two speech students participated in District Individual Speech Contest held February 28 at Anita. Twelve of them advanced to State Contest which was held in Atlantic on March 20. Kim Hansen received a 1 rating in Interpretive Reading-Prose and Linda Campbell received a I rating in Expository Address. Mrs. Hansen and Mrs. Niles were very pleased with the outcome of both events. These students participated in the individual Speech Contest. THE CHILDREN'S STORY was nominated for an outstanding recognition at state level. This group brought back all l's from Large Group District Contest. 62 Zwo One-Acts, Zhree Duets Presented IJanuary Four contest numbers plus the one-act play entitled The Book” were presented to the public on January 29. The casts of each production worked hard on their selec- tions and the evening proved to be very entertaining. The cast of The Children's Story included Mary Asmus, Diane Frevert, Mitch Jensen, Larry Sorensen, Carrie Sor- ensen. Lori Mullenger, Deb Sorensen, Rolf Lindblom. Perry Petersen, and Kim Hansen. Susan Zaiger, Cindy Borkowski, and Tami Pruitt were cast in The Book , and in the duet Barefoot in the Park Corey was played by Peggy Jensen while Jeff Fancher played the part of Paul. Cindy Snyder and Wayne Thygesen performed Where Have All the Lightning Bugs Gone? and Teri Hupp and Dwight Barnes starred in The Diary of Adam and Eve. I guess he was only the second fastest gun in the West. But, Corey, tomorrow night we'll do something fun. If we pray to our leader instead of God, our prayers are really answered. Teri and Dwight cheerfully record the day's episodes in a cut from The Diary of Adam and Eve. Aii me— Acting Without Words This was the second year for mime at Audubon High School and mimers carried the creativity and talent throughout the year that is characteristic of the Audubon troupe. Perform- ances included shows at the Methodist church, the Rebekah- Odd Fellows Hall, the Bicentennial Show, Southwest Iowa Speech Teachers Workshop, Exira High School and AHS as- semblies. Mime also traveled to four speech contests this year where we rated well. Cindy Snyder served as troupe leader for ’75-'76. Psyching up for a performance? Jeff and Cindy pause a moment before their appearance. Kathy Sievers took a solo mime entitled Shall We Dance? to state contest. 64 Zhe bicentennial Celebration at AMS The obstacle course was awfully tough for this exhausted Mrs. Margaret Hayes presents Mr. Charter with a bicentennial Mr. Bertram. certificate, designating AHS as an official bicentennial school. Our very own Marx brothers appeared in the bicentennial show. April 2 was an exciting day of fun as the students and the community of Audubon celebrated the nation’s bicentennial. The day's events began with the first an- nual Where Anything Goes contest sponsored by Hi-Y. Student and faculty teams participated in a jello-eating contest, musical tires, an obstacle course, and various races. Exhibits at the elementary building were open from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. High school exhibits were open from 5:00 to 7:00 and included a bicentennial college 40 feet long, a storybook corner. Foxfire interviews, and many antiques. The bicentennial show, featuring the music and drama departments, was held in the evening. Valerie Lindblom and Mickey Mouse (actually Kathy Sievers) look over some of the exhibits. 65 Concert Choir—Altogether flew The Concert Choir and Swing Choir, under the di- rection of Mr. Jim Davis, sang their way into the hearts of many people this year. In all, the Concert Choir per- formed in six concerts and displayed excellent showman- ship. The Swing Choir added another attraction to many of the performances and travelled to the Friendship Home and the Elementary School as some of their extracurricu- lar activities. These choirs, combined, show some of the finest talent A.H.S. has had in quite a while. Ann Hansen's unending talents aided the choir throughout the year. Neal Campbell was the only member of the choir to par- ticipate in the All-State Chorus and he also was selected as the outstanding choir member for this year. Canada Zrip Proves Successful At approximately 5:00 p.m. on June 18, 1975, some 120 bandsmen and 14 chaperones packed horns, suitcases, and them- selves on four Continental Trailway� buses northbound for Winnipeg, Manitoba, and the Manisphere International Band Competition. . June 20 marked the first day of competition as the sym- phonic band performed PUNCHINELLO by Alfred Reed and INCANTNTION AND DANCE by John Barnes Chance in the beautiful Centennial Concert Hall. After shopping and eating, the band participated in a Mini-Parade through downtown Winnipeg. The day was rounded out with a trip to a zoo and bowling in the evening. Marching Competition saw the Wheelers performing a difficult drill routine entitled 1812 at Winnipeg Stadium on Saturday morning. Saturday night a Massed Band concert and the crowning of the Manisphere International Band Queen ac- companied the official opening of Manisphere. Sunday morning an interdenominational church service was held and at 1:30 the big parade began, and despite the pouring rain the Wheelers marked on. Sunday night the Red River Boat Cruise ended out a fantastically fun trip. Seems Kelli drove Mike right up the wall! Kay Wenig was our pretty entry in the competition for the Manisphere International Band Queen. Aw, come on you guys, you can’t be that bored! 68 ‘Earni on the Kun’ Our guess is that John and Steve won’t be smiling after the parade's over. Gee, I wonder if they really meant it when they said they were going to leave us . . . “Zke Mocking 00 ” This year’s marching 100 kept busy as they worked on their bicen- tennial pre-game and half-time shows. Aside from these regular per- formances, the Wheelers participated in the Audubon Homecoming Parade, the T-Bone Parade, and Carroll Band Days; but, perhaps the biggest event of the fall season was performing for Dana College’s Homecoming game. Majorettes for the year were Julie Lansman and Sherilyn Severin. $azz Band T-Bone Days, the Pork Producers, Beef Producers, and the annual Chamber of Commerce banquets, the Veteran's Day Assembly, a January concert, and the girls’ basketball clinic kept this hot little group rolling through the year. AHS Jazz '76” also planned to entertain at Prom and at- tend a jazz festival in the spring. 1st row, 1. tor.: K. Ross, Mr. Bourne. 2nd row: K. Hansen, C. Borkowski, J. Jorgensen, L. Campbell, L.

And here we have the AHS version of Lawrence Welk's bubble machine . These bandsmen participated in ensembles receiving I ratings at state level. Weekly lessons are an important part of band. Receiving I ratings on their solos at state contest were these people. 72 Abby Kauffman received the 2nd year award in her Art II Kathy Wailes received honorable mention.

The struggle and the relief, the truimph and the failure, the good and the bad, the joy and the tears—everything. I experienced here reminds me of wonderful memories I made with my friends. I have grown from tasting this life. Thank you my wonderful friends in Audubon! When another day is through, I hope I will still be friends with you.

Julie Mortensen, Editor Mappy Birthday, America! IM A Bicentennial only happens once in a lifetime, so this year has been very special for Audubon. April 2 marked the day that we were proclaimed an official bicentennial school. Below are pictures of the fun shared on that day, and on the next sixteen pages you will see our country's history from the early years of our nation to man's first step on the moon. It’s A Celebration . . . Two Hundred Years Of A Nation . Lean back and enjoy it. s I 7S T?

' ■ v The break from England was not to come easily, as this fledgling was viewed as a ser- ious threat to the tentacles of the vast and far-flung British Empire. i S i 3 hh� '______ 'M Ji c - XT atriots rose from every corner of the struggling country. Help came from other European countries to add to the flame of breaking the grip of England. Farmers, fish- ermen, cobblers and men from every walk of life took up their arms to defend this new- felt right to be free. As the smoke began to clear, ideas on organizing this diversity of colonies into a coalition of united states began to take shape. The form of a Constitu- tion and Bill of Rights was molded by states- men who previously were nonexistent. i;M1 lHli iiiilil ii illfi;7JJlif n l lliJuvlllwJIlJl i . V ' s the word spread in other parts of the world of this new country, with its vast do- main and resources, thousands of immigrants poured in to start a new life. With the added growth of population, new frontiers were needed. This stretching brought new con- flicts with foreign powers who previously had laid claim to parts of the interior. s the gangling country continued to grow, internal disagreement erupted into a battle of economic and philosophical differ- ences. The battle was to leave scars which would heal only after generations had passed. Out of the wounds came a stronger fiber of freedom for the individual man. The country had survived as a unit and now its energies would be put to work in rebuilding the found- ing fathers’ ideals. _ i, ) S' JL he need for new frontiers continued as movement spread West. A rapid explosion of technological advances pointed the country into the fore as an industrialized nation. s one of the leading industrial nations, this strapping, growing giant became em- broiled in the first of the World Wars. After its success with other Allied Nations, a never- before-felt boom and prosperity was followed with the shattering bust of the Great De- pression. New leaders were sought to pull the Country out of its fall, while on the horizon new storm clouds were building across the oceans. . ■ ' ri v 2 A ■v' xl second World War was fought to pro- y tect the cause of freedom, as the now grown giant emerged to take its place as the leader of the Free World. This new role has brought with it—many challenges—many successes— Y some failures . . . and through it all a spirit I for all nations to envy—a burning passion that all men may one day be free . . .
