The Arapahoe High School Senior Graduating Class of 1974. It's fun and interesting to read through all the names. Some I meet in grade school (Franklin Elementary), some at Newton Jr. High, and of course at AHS.

I still have this little number, called a "Sizzler", that I made and wore to school our senior year. It's 29" long from shoulder at neck to hem. Yup, we wore 'em short back then. My oldest sister, Linda, made one of these first and she still has the pattern!

I was a member of the AHS Mimes pantomime troupe in my junior and senior years. We gave an annual student performance near the end of the school year in the theater. One skit started with me in the "beetle bug" position, head down, and alone on the stage floor. I remember thinking it was taking a really long time for the other troupe members to join me onstage to begin the skit. Then I heard some snuffling around my right ear, joined by audience laughter. I didn't move a muscle. I could hear my fellow Mimes calling from offstage as they tried to coax a DOG, that had wandered into the school, off the stage. Some exterior door must have been propped open and lunch preparation odors probably lured the dog inside. With the pooch safely offstage, we were able to start the skit.
