BELOW: The students of several English classes listen to Virginia Scott Miner, a poet, with interesting facts on poetry. The spring brought special assemblies and lectures. NASA gave us an inside look at the space program and the poet in residence who lectured tried to give us a taste for culture. Spring also afforded a first time opportunity to arts G crafts students in oil painting in- struction by Mrs. Ormiston. Prom introduced May and the final month of school. The juniors chose Oriental Gar- dens as their theme with all the trimmings, including a Buddah, a bridge, a dragon, and even incense. Graduation finally made us aware that the year was almost over, and there were so many things we hadn't gotten done. Reflecting on the 1971 school year we will find it a memorable one. This was the year we started the new pass-fail system, the year we clobbered Meade at basketball, when they least expected it, the year we almost didn't have a prom, and the year that no matter how much they reminded us about the hands-off policy, the administration had trouble enforcing it. On the following pages we have recaptured these moments to the best of our ability, but reflections are often hard to catch. So as you look through this book, perhaps something will bring back a personal memory of the school year 1971... BELOW: Arts G Crafts provided a valuable opportunity in oil painting to Gloria Wisby.

Marci Lee, working in the New York school system. A successful fall concert was staged by Mrs. Wills and her vocal department. December 6th took SWH to Hugoton for the first basketball game of the season. The Mustangs suffered their first loss at Hugoton, but by the end of the season, they were on the winning side with an impressive record of 11 wins and 10 losses and 2nd's in both league and district tournament play. However the cheerleaders suffered the greatest loss when Attorney General Vem Miller made the state aware of the law making raffles illegal in the state of Kansas. The cake raffle was missed by all, but the pep club still made it out to support the Mustang team in full strength. In January, speech and drama students began work on presentations for contests. The students received 27 awards out of the 28 events they entered and Mr. Slack took 5 presentations to Hays' State Speech Contest in late April. March came in like a lion with dust storms sweeping the state and causing Min- neola to cancel league music festival, send- ing SWH music students to state contest in Dodge City without the usual experience. Still, Mrs. Will's vocal department received 6 I ratings.
