The bugle plays an important part in the lives of Emersonians. WELCOME Within the Call of the Bugle Dunes of sand, ingots of steel, stacks of books, and friendly people were representative of Emerson School in 1962-63. As the first school in the city of the dunes, Emerson had much to offer. Among her many firsts were a legitimate stage in a high school audi¬ torium, an indoor swimming pool, and a corridor art gallery valued at $20,000. Emerson had academic and eye appeal. However, beauty and firsts could not be the sole substances for a school. It must have academic achievements, too. Emerson could boast of her chapter in the Na¬ tional Honor Society and of membership in the North Central Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. History, beauty, and academics were all a reflec¬ tion of the fourth factor, students. The students of 1962-63 were just like their predecessors in that they were victims of fads, fashions, and fun. When stu¬ dents first came to Emerson, a wonder to them was the playing of the bugle immediately before and after school. The Emersonian staff of 1962-63 lays out the red carpet.
