WINN ZULA BROWN Yardman Bus Driver Janitress The Mathematics Department this year offers more courses than ever before, and is, likewise, more complete. Essential to students not planning on attending college, and not taking Algebra, is General Math. Algebra is a fundamental course, offered to freshmen, and is required for graduation. For second-year students is Geometry, a course which deals with geometrical properties and develops logical thinking. Algebra II is for more advanced students, and Trigonometry, for students planning to continue in science or mathematics in college. 28 Spanish and Latin, offered to any student, are C. G. U. H. S. 's only foreign lan- guages. After a seven-year pause, Latin was again presented last year, making this its second year. Two years of this course can be taken, while three can be taken of Spanish. Each language has a club of its own--the Pan American and the Latin Club, both having activities for its members. Requirements for membership are only the obtaining of a certain grade average in the course, and an invitation to enter. 29 Mr. Quentin Lish, art instructor, helps his students to better appreciate art and to learn to create all phases of the art medium. Among the many things the art students do are oils, water colors and charcoals. During the year, several art contests are pre- sented, and which anyone may enter. Drama and Speech, both taught by Mr. David Hardaway, have been very impor- tant in our school this year. They have helped the students who have participated in the Speech Contest and also the plays which have been presented. The National Thespian Society is an honorary club for students who have taken part in dramatic productions. 30 The Cougar Band, with its membership of 90, and Mr. Floyd Weil as director, has recently become more active and, therefore, participates in many more activities. The first semester for band students consists mainly of various football half-time shows, while the second semester is spent rehearsing concert music, and preparation is made for the three concerts presented to the public. This course is offered to any student who is interested in music and wishes to join the band program. Likewise, Chorus is a subject for anyone who has the ability and interest. Lead by Mr. Madden, director, the Chorus participates in many activities, as well as putting on programs of its own. 31 Field hockey, football, volleyball, baseball and badminton were only a few sports the girl’s P. H. classes participated in this year. The students in these classes were not only taught team sports, but also individual sports, as well. The boy's P. E. classes were mostly spent playing basketball and football, but also exercises were taken. 32 Life Science, a subject related to Biology, brings about a broader understanding of life and environment. A sophomore or an advanced freshman usually takes Biology, a study of the sim- plest forms of animal and plant life, as well as the most complex structures of the hu- man being. Several dissections are made and the use and importance of the micro- scope is taught. Chemistry deals with cha nges and forms of matter, while Physics is the study of forms of energy, such as heat, light, mechanics and electricity. General Science is a combination of Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Geology. 33 Mr. Plunkett, Guidance Director, aids students in their vocational preferences, helps them to choose wise their courses, and administers aptitude tests to class rooms. Mrs. La Verne Hudson is Assistant Guidance Director. Also working in the department is Mr. Dobson and Mrs. Karen Williams. Guidance Secretary. The library, consisting of two separate rooms, is a center for materials, reading, information and facts. Students are allowed to go to the library during their study hall, so that they will be able to do research. Driver's Training, taught by Mr. Jack Spilsbury, teaches students the rules and regulations of safe driving, thus making it easier for them to obtain a driver's license. 34 The Social Studies Department this year consists of American history, democracy, World history and World geography. American history deals with the history of the American heritage, and democracy is the study of free and democratic government. World geography and World history , both taught by Mr. Madden, deal with the whole country, not only ours, but others as well. 35 Students in the Home Economics Department are, throughout the year, given in- struction in sewing, cooking, home safety, home management, and child care. An education in farming or a related occupation is the goal of the Agriculture classes. Various aspects of farming, an introduction to farm mechanics and pro- duction problems, soil and water management, and crop and animal breeding, are all subjects the boys gain knowledge in, during their four years of Ag. 36 In radio classes, radio theory is taught, as well as the practice in repairing and building a radio. Auto Mechanics prepares a student for a future in automotive mechanics and mechanical engineering, as well as teaching hinwhow to care for and. likewise, build an automobile. The course which involves learning the fundamentals of expert woodwork is Shop. In Shop, class projects are performed and also projects for the individual. Aeronautics consists of a study of the weather, navigation, aircraft engines and their structure. 37 The review of parts of speech and the elements of a simple sentence, the ac- quaintance with a variety of authors, and the four communications; reading, writing, speaking and listening are all elements stressed in English I. The Sophomore English classes, after a review of simple sentences and adverb clauses, study grammar and take up theme writing. Primarily, a study of American Literature, the third year English construction, spelling, vocabulary, creative writing and speech training. For students planning on attending college, senior English is necessary, with its study of vocabulary and preparation for the following year. For students not planning to attend college. Business English is offered. Typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office practice are designed for development in the commercial field. They are not only helpful to those who desire to make a career using some facet of the subject, but also to those who enter college, in daily work in any field, in business and in composition. Field trips were taken by the various departments to familiarize the students with the newest techniques in the commercial world, and with the newest machines and office helps.

S. , As a junior, I applied to the newly organized American Field Ser- vice's local committee and, luckily was one of 4 CGUHS students to have their names and qualifications sent to New York. The AFS office in New York found my family for me or rather, my Spanish family applied for a student, and my hobbies and interests fit into their pattern of life fairly close, so I was selected. I flew, June 7, 1961, to Montreal Canada, where 2 hectic nights were spent. During this time, Judy Anspach, a friend from Globe, Ari- zona, who spent the summer in Holland, and I toured this old Canadian city. Also, we became acquainted with other AFS teenagers who were collecting at our hotel waiting for the sailing date. June 9, came and was a wonderful clear day. About noon, 730 chattering and excited students climbed aboard the MS Seven Seas and proceeded to get lost in various areas of the ship! On board, we were put into several hundred staterooms; there were 4 girls in my cabin. For meals, the students were seated at tables accord- ing to destined countries. Everyone had at least 2 classes a day on ship. I had a class in the Spanish language followed by orientation on the customs of Spain. The latter was a great deal of help. We arrived in Rotterdam, Holland, about 3:00 AM, June 18, and, believe it or not, over half of us were up and the rest by 5:00 AM to watch the ship enter the harbor. Docking at 7:00, we showed our pass- ports and sat down on suitcases for a long wait for buses. The 14 Spain bound students and sponsor, after a quick look around Rotterdam, left on a very modern train for Paris, taking pictures all the way. In Paris, we had time to eat, tour for an hour and catch another train for Spain. We separated early in the morning of June 20, at the border of our summer homeland for our various new families. My family consisted of Mother, Eugenio, 19, Eulalia, 18, Luisa, 17, and Jose, 15. Mr. Mora was a Co-owner of a factory which manufac- tured men's clothing. During my visit, I toured many parts of beautiful Barcelona. The city is very antique, having been a leading Mediterranean port since the period of Romans, and almost all the buildings are older than the United States as a country. We lived for a week in a flat in the city, but it became too terrible and unbearably hot; so we transferred our whole household to the country 15 miles north of Barcelona, where we spent the remainder of the sum- mer. This new house was fairly small and in a village in the center of the champagne area. There were many grape vineyards around this area as well as fields of carnations, which were sold all over Europe. My family and 1 became as close as could be possible for the short time I was with them. 1 love them very much and hope I can go back to warm and wonderful Spain someday on my own. All I can do is thank those who gave me the chance to be a partici- pant in the American Field Service Program. Sincerely, Pam Gilbert Hi Cougars! If anybody a year ago had told me what I got to do, see and ex- perience this year, I would hardly have believed him. Nevertheless, here I am and I have had the most wonderful year in my life. I have seen New York City, Phoenix, Grand Canyon, Old and New Mexico, with Carlsbad Caverns, California, Disneyland and many other places I have heard and dreamt about before. Last but not least I have also experienced-CASA GRANDE! You might wonder how come I, a Norwegian could end up in Arizona. Well, that is a rather long story. It all began a rainy day in September 1960. On the bulletin board at school it said that stu- dents interested in our AFS scholarship should see the principal. I had heard from returned exchange students what a wonderful time they had had, and so 1 tried. First there was one application, then an inter- view with an AFS officer, and so another great big application for, or I should say forms. It was a great pile of papers, and they wanted to know all about me from the day I was born, and that is quite a bit! So they left me in hope and ignorance of my destiny from January to June. Then I got the message: Casa Grande in Arizona. The next month I was pretty busy, getting new lighter clothes, examinations, vaccinations, passport, visa and everything. On the 9th of July, however, I was ready and left good old Norway by train to go to Bremen in Germany. There I went on board of the Swedish freighter m s Isolde where I worked my way to New York. This was also a wonderful experience, getting acquainted with the sea and the sailor's job. Of course fog, wind, sharks and a little bit of sea sickness added to the excitement. After touring New York for a couple of days, I entered the plane that took me to Phoenix. It was a nice, air conditioned plane, so when I went out in Phoenix I just could not believe the heat. It was July 28th, and degrees around a hundred. I felt like a potato about to be baked. However, after a day or two, I got used to it and the heat did not bother me too much anymore. There is one thing I want to say: I think Americans are great! And especially Casa Grande people. I am serious when I say I've never met friendlier people any other place. The way you all re- ceived me, met me and accepted me as one of you was really wonder- ful. Every single student and faculty member have made me feel at home here. This year has been a tremendous one, and I do wish I will get an opportunity to come back some time. Also I encourage you underclassmen to try for an AFS scholarship. I think this is one of the best ways to reach understanding and peace on earth. Sincerely, Finn Sommer Jim Crouch was on hand to welcome Finn to the Cougar Campus. V A A o'- The foreign exchange student took an instant interest in school government when initiated as an honor member to student council. Finn was active throughout the year in various social functions in the curricular facets at C. G. U. H. S., as well as community affairs. His flexible personality, wel- comed him into every corner of Casa Grande. Finn surveyed local affairs in the reading of the Dispatch, the local newspaper. Playing tennis was one of the many activities Finn enjoyed during the '61- '62 year. 4 Miss Pinal County Senior at CQltttS L At last the winner of the crown was an- nounced as Miss Sharon Ann Willard of Ca- sa Grande. Miss Sharon Ann Willard transferred from Coolidge at the beginning of the '61-'62 school year to complete her senior year here at C. G. U. H. S. Sharon competed with other girls from surrounding com- munities in the Miss Pinal County competition. From this contest she was crowned and chosen to represent our county at the Miss Arizona pageant in November at the Arizona State Fair in Phoenix. A variety of expressions are dis- played by the Miss Pinal County Candidate. Competition in the talent contest merited her first place. Now is the time for the formal review and for the important questions.

Cougars 14 Kisbee 20 The Blue and Gold suffered the second setback of the season at the hands of Bisbee, 20-14, in their fourth encounter of the year.

S.: Just what is the purpose of a yearbook? What are the editors trying to accomplish? What are the common goals of the advisor and staff? These are questions which you must ask yourself at one time or another. The answers are simple and they can come under the heading WHAT IS AN ANNUAL? 1. RECORD OF THE YEAR--In most schools, the annual is the only permanent record of the his- tory of the year. As such, it should be as complete as possible in coverage of facts and events. 2. MEMORY BOOK OF STUDENTS--This is the yearbook’s first purpose, the one for which it was created. It still is a major function. As such, it should include as many students as many times as possible. The popularity of every yearbook, regardless of quality, is in direct proportion to the number and quality of the pictures of students in the book. 3. PUBLIC RELATIONS MEDIUM--This is the yearbook function which acquaints readers in the community with the school and its activities. This function is ignored by many who feel that the school yearbook should be for students only. However, the need of the modern school for community understanding and approval is making this function more important each year. 4. STUDENT PROJECT--The yearbook should give students opportunities for expression of talent and exercise of important responsibilities. Every yearbook should be, insofar as possible and feasible, the product of student effort. 5. REFERENCE BOOK--This is the function that makes the yearbook more than a record of history. As a reference book, the book's plan and design should make facts, faces and information easy to f find. These items compile a yearbook. It is our sincere hope that we, as editors, have fulfilled each and every qualification.
