The Launch 5-4-3-2-1-0... Blast Off!... And we are launched! Reflecting the brilliance of the morning sun Our rocket-Class '71- displaying proudly her Blue and white colors— awaits anxiously the Moment to leave home base—Hunter Huss. The preparations were tough, at times, hard to withstand. But the excitement and exhilirating joy of success, Compensated for the demands placed upon us. Aren't we truly like a rocket f Unveiled, our school is a launching pad Firing one class at a time into a much larger World of involvement. Involved are all kinds of people— Those training and those being trained. Foremost on the scene are those preparing. Those facing the complexities, demands and excitement of training-These are the students. Their success makes the program worth all the effort. Supervising and organizing are the Administration. Instilled in the Faculty is the guidance control system. As the astronauts are trained for physical fitness. So are the Athletes at Huss. The groups working behind the scenes Are the Organizations, striving to make it all a success. Those that stand out among the masses arc labeled as Personalities. Many are involved; all are important! Whether a space program or a high school. Both are preparation for an important flight. But only through an all-out effort Can the flight achieve its apex. Only through the cooperation of the whole can Man strive for and achieve the heights!
