Um p in Slucfenl' .file This is the life of the student In his high school, His life at Austin High. A choice of activities greets the student. Some choose many, Some, few. But all are caught in the swirl, Gradually at first, Then as Seniors, Caught in a whirlpool. In the school- Students join together in learning, in sharing, In spirit and enthusiasm at a basketball game, In pride and serious concern in selecting school leaders. As a student- He meets with his teachers and classmates To learn about the world, To learn about himself. As a Maroon- He is loyal and proud of Austin High in every venture, Win or lose. As an individual- He works, Plays, Laughs, Cries, Learns, Grows. He searches for something. He wants recognition, Achievement- A sense of belonging.

THE RED JACKET CIRL HAS BOBBED HER HAIR could be heard in the early hours of the moming as the Red Jackets took their break to sing a few songs. WAITING PATIENTLY at the counseloris office to have schedules changed are Sandra Peters, Nancy Barden, Jack Holford, Marvin McKinnon, Eliza- beth Disch, Robert Kuempel, Trueman O'Quinn, and Pat Price. ' Ench- Long before the first bells of the semester rang, stu- dents began working hard for the opening of the fall semester. The Red jackets and Band were up every morning at six, pounding the dirt on the practice field in preparation for half-time activities at the first football game. Red Dragons and Publications were also well on their way. The Red Dragons were already rehearsing THE GLASS MENACERIE,featuringjoAnna Murray and Mal Randle, while busy publications, workers walked the streets selling ads and worked late editing the first edition of the Maroon. The football team was busily working out every day. They were running, exercising, and scrimmaging to get back into shape after the long summer. The first week started off with a bang. Students waited in long lines to have classes changed, and the competi- tion for president and veep of the Student Council was at a peak. Candidates for president were Larry Bales, Tom Broad, and Billy McCalebg for veep, LaVerne Lundquist, Mal Randle and Daravene Daniel. Larry Bales and LaVerne Lundquist were elected to head the Student Council. The week ended with a giant pep rally held in House Park. The students, new and old, crowded into House Park for this event. Here cheerleaders and students dis- played the spirit traditional at Austin High. This same spirit was shown early by the students who worked so hard before the beginning of school to make the year successful. The pep rally was climaxed by a short talk by Coach jim Tolbert, in which he introduced the fighting Maroon football team. After the pep rally, the spirited students made the long hike back to school. I 1 I si NA - tx -rf
