An Empty Gym Holds Many Memories Flashback . . . That's the name of this year's yearbook. Why? Because the yearbook staff looked at last year's Wakaw and wondered what in the world that name had to do with us—the students of Wamego High School. It was de- cided that this year's annual should be original. It should be a book that says just who we, the students, are. After looking and looking and coming up with many exotic names, the staff decided on the name FLASHBACK . In this yearbook the staff tried to re-create the year of 1971-72. We also want to thank Mr. George Alex- ander, Mr. Loren Ribblet and Bill Glynn for helping with the photography. We hope that you will enjoy your annual as much as we did putting it together. This was a year whether Freshman or Senior, that everyone will remember because in this year, we the students, tried to find ourselves; to be original, not to copy what someone else had already achieved. So FLASHBACK, Freshmen, to that first time you had to do your class yell, and Sophomores to the time you put on your own dance for a money-making project. FLASHBACK, Juniors, to the night of the Junior play and the party afterwards. Last of all, take a look back Seniors, and see what a memorable moment that was when your diploma was placed into your own hands. Yes, this is the year everyone will remember as FLASHBACK because it says just who we, the students of Wamego High School, are . The Yearbook Staff ACTIVITIES G . ORGANIZATIONS SPORTS ....

Student Council Honor Pass System Is Success 1971-72 Student Council, led by Rick Doll and spon- sored by Mr. Ethington, successfully instituted it's major project, the Honor Pass System. At first both students and teachers misinterpreted the meaning of the Honor Pass System. After several meetings between the students and faculty, a few minor changes were made and understanding of the rules of the system was reached. Being on one's honor, from which the Honor Pass name was derived, replaced the pink slips. Both students and teachers found the system a convenience and were in favor of continuing it. Student Council in reality is a mini-student body in itself. Stu-Co Representatives worked to bridge the gap between students and teachers and their success depends on the student body as a whole.
