Deming High School - Wildcat Yearbook (Deming, NM)

Page 268 text:

This is the place for a history of The Wildcat The DHS Wildcat has come a long way since 1948 when the first one was pnnted. but there are even greater differences between today ' s Wildcat and yearbooks from years gone by. The 1912 High School Annual pictured seven teachers. 11 seniors and had 10 group pictures and ended with seven pages of advertisement. In 1913 the yearbook was called the Hoot Owl, showed that si.x teachers were employed and that the senior class was composed of eight seniors. Thi book included the history, prophecy and will of the seniors and featured 13 group pictures and five pages of advertisements. DHS had 22 seniors in 1914 when the year- book was called El Mesquite. Features of the book included the history, the class poem, the class prophecy and will. The book contained 38 pictures. 18 of them what you might class as action photos. Evidently the school was not pleased with the name because in 1915 the yearbook appeared with a new name. The Chaparral. There were nine members of the faculty and the senior class had 16 in It. There were 22 pages of advertisements. 14 group pictures and 33 action photos. The book was printed by The Graphic. It wasn ' t until ten years later that another year- book appeared. This was The Dogie and it was dedicated to Ed Martin, school supenntendent. It had 10 group pictures, featured a history and will for the 16 members of the senior class. There were 16 juniors that year also. Photos showed the Old High School as the place where we work and the Armory as where we play. The Deming Wildcal for 1932-33 was mimeo- graphed and had 19 pages with Judy Beal as its editor. The faculty had 15 members and the book was dedicated to the janitor who had been sweep- ing the floors since 1912. There were 38 seniors and a section called reflections and the class prophecy. The Rodeo for 1935 was also mimeographed, had one picture of the class of 1935 pasted in. Long-time teachers pictured included Pauline Baker, Mildred White, Ethel Thomas, Olive Whi- tehiU, Nobia Rector and Frances Gahagan. And there were places to paste in the pictures of the most popular boy and girl, the best sports, the most beautiful girl, the best looking boy, and the boy with the best line. There were 30 seniors that year. Another name change greeted annual buyers in 1938 because the new name was The Yucca Trail with 41 pictures, including an air view of the high school showing the home ec cottage which is today incorporated into the junior high school plant. There were 41 seniors, and this is the first yearbook to mention The Broadcaster. The book contained six pages of advertising in its 57 pages. In 1948 the DHS yearbook got the name of Wildcat and that name has held ever since. So there have been 33 yearbooks by that name. Tiny Perkins was the sponsor for a number o f years and the book was dedicated to him several times. The book was produced in after-school time rather than as a class. In 1959 a class period was set aside for yearbook work and an hour a day has been set aside ever since. Sponsor since 1959 with the exception of 1966 when Don Strasner was the sponsor has been Ed Leupold. The largest edition ever pnnted was a 306 page book edited by Patsy Sainz. You can see if you look closely at the pictures of the staffs since 1959 on the walls of room 22 that sisters Sheryl Dawson, Nancy Dawson and Lori Dawson all were editors, Nancy and Lori each editing two year books. The size of the Wildcat has nearly doubled since 1959 when there were 134 pages and a 16 page supplement. In 1961 DHS produced its first falldelivery book and the book has been printed on that schedule ever since so that all spring activities and sports for the year may be included in one book. In 1970 the size of the book went from7V xx 10 ' !to8V4xx 11. . . . and for thanks A Wildcat like this 1981 edition just doesn ' t happen. It takes the combined effort and work of many to make it a reality. And these are some of the people who need to be thanked for their contributions. First of all, 1980 graduate Pete Acosta has a number of his pictures in this edition — almost all of the teachers and most of the pictures of the bus drivers were taken by Pete. Pete is the top photo student of all the photography classes since the first one in 1975. For many years now Bill Mygrant of Marquise Studio has been photographing the seniors at DHS and has, in addition, been spending several days at DHS to make classroom and group shots for the yearbook. Always gracious and always patient, he has contributed his talent for picture making to the Wildcats through the years. For many of the pictures of Deming ' s past, we are indebted to the Deming Old Timers Associa- tion and especially to Mrs. Virginia Measday. For other pictures of years gone by we thank Mrs. Stanley Dennis. Mrs. Dennis as Mary Clark was the editor of the 1921 Tatler which was the DHS newspaper that year. For spring sport group pictures we are indeb- ted to Western Photography of Albuquerque, and we ' re really lucky that the weather was so fine on that day with lots of huge white clouds in the blue sky. To Don Cantrell of Taylor Publishing Com- pany we owe our gratitude for his assistance, especially in the reproduction of old-time photos. Finally to Marge Leupo ld for her long hours of proofreading, we extend our thanks. Being the wife of the sponsor doesn ' t automatically make her the proofreader, but this task she willingly performed and this is one of the reasons that through the years the Wildcat has been pretty free of errors that might have embarrassed the staff and the sponsor. And, we thank you, the subscriber, for without you there would be no need to ever publish the Wildcat, . . . and a note on the After Show P.T. Barnum knew that there were some circus customers who still had money in their pockets after the last act, so the after show was invented. Lucky ticket holders got to watch an abbreviated Wild West show to the sound of workers dismantling the rest of the bleachers. The Wildcat After Show doesn ' t cost you read- ers anything. Just enjoy the final eight pages of pictures that try to capture the varietv that was DHS in 1980-81. J.
