The
Flashlight
The Flashlight has
served as the memory book for Abilene High School students for over
94 years. Originally the book was called a memory book and
functioned without a name for almost a dozen years. Begun in 1926,
The Abilene High school newspaper was the Morning Glory in its early
days and was printed as a part of the Abilene Reporter News each
month. A group of student leaders decided the newspaper and the
yearbook needed new names so they set about researching new
inventions from a World's Fair. The students decided to change the
name of the yearbook to the Flashlight so the "the truth and honor
of all who entered the hallowed halls of Abilene High would shine
forth for all the world to see." They chose the name, The Battery,
for the newspaper since it took batteries to make the flashlight
work! It was at that time, the newspaper began to publish separately
from the local paper.
The yearbook is published once a school year, over a 12 month time
period. Delivery of the book is generally scheduled the last week of
the school year.
The student newspaper, The Battery, is published three times each
semester. |
