A gym, four rooms, and a science room constituted the school. No longer would lessons he taught in the Community Hall, the Catholic Church, or the old hakery huilding. Our first school hoard consisted of C. C. Hall, president, IC. R. Morris, memher, and K. B. Mchflickeii, clerk. Mr.l,. 17. Shum- way, who came to Litchfield Park in 1926, was our first superintendent and prin- cipal and served for twentyfone years. The first year the high school was organized, twenty-eight students enrolled. The Class of 1929, which had a memhership of two, was the first one to he graduated -at l,.H.S. This graduation proved to he a sad oc- casion, however, as hoth graduates, lid Parsons and Verna Stephens, were serionsly ill at the time. Verna did not recover, and her diploma was presented to her parents. The school hoard has changed as time went on. Mr. Morris was followed hy Nlr. Sweeney, who in time was replaced hy Dr. Hilton. Mr. Hall was replaced hy Nlr. Reismann giving us our present scho.ml hoard. I0 rw 'kwwew w,q.we,4,Qa,.A W, V 'wane g 1, , flaw 1 .2 EM' ,zww ,9fY1.wgV,g6gfffHxwwf'f1 -my-W 5, .

KI like to recall the many happy days I have spent with you students at Litchfield High School. There is a certain good feeling about having been associated With you that makes me feel happy about the time and energy spent in your behalf. Your education and training has always been the prime factor in every decision made. Sometimes We have not agreed, but I assure you your welfare Was always the foremost con- sideration. If I had but one Wish, I would hope that you have learned the less son of how to get along with your fellow men. Learn to give a lot more than you expect in return. If you do, you'll find real happiness. I Want to Wish each one of you much happiness and success through- out your lifef, CH:XUNCIiY CUOR, l'1'im'ipaZ 53 XVe are currently celebrating the Silver Anniversary of Litchfield High School. livery student who has ever attended this school has contributed something to the growth and achieve- ment during the past twenty-five years. XVe cannot live in the past so we must look always to the future. 'flifach of you, along with the hun- dreds of unknown students who will attend school here, must look forward to the coming years with hope and enthusiasm. Twenty-five years is a short period of time in the life of a school, and with the cooperation of parents, stu- dents and faculty members I am sure that the future of Litchfield High School will indeed he hright and the results obtained will be satisfying to everyone.

Patient building by the coaching staff and great spirit on the part of our boys paid off in a big way. The Owls placed third in the league, but that is only a small part of the story. XVe who went to the opening game against our old Nemesis at Buckeye will not soon forget the thrill of seeing our team come from behind and tie up the game.

ONE OF THE MANY TENSE MOMENTS in the Litchfield-Scottsdale football game when the Owls holcl the Beavers for the fourth clown on the Litchfield goal line. The final score, Owls-0, Beavers-ll. :ind then came the climax. XVe had to win from Scottsdale in order to tie them for second place lvehind Carver. Scottsdale, under those circumstances, could not afford to loses There was tension and drama in the air. lfrom the opening whistle to the final play the stands were in an uproar, and during many tense moments hearts stood still. :Xt half time the score was ll-U5 and when the teams lined up for the second half, we in the stands felt something had to give sooner or later. lt was a see-saw hattle all way through. Scottsdale's coach reached deep down into his hag of tricks in order to find a scoring combination, hut our lioys seemed to sense the plays, and our opponents were stopped cold. Many times it seemed our hoys had victory within their grasp, hut they could not quite reach the coveted goal line. 'lihe fans sensed the hattle of wits of the opposing coaches, and the constant roar of the spectators and the hard determined play of the hoys kept the crowd on its feet. But, try as they would, neither side was alwle to cross the goal line which would have meant victory and glory. X'X'e had to settle for a tie game, hut we were proud of our hoys, every one of them, and of our coaching staff. E A C H AFTER- NOON the Owls nimbly s t e p p e d through tires to prepare themselves for quick footwork on the football field. Coaches Are Pleased and Optimistic alluring the summer before football season opened, Mr. VVest and l spent many hours in organizing a style of football to meet the needs of the squad members. XVe knew we would have a limited number of boys, but With careful planning they could be developed into a strong competitor for the Vllest Central title. VVith this in mind, We chose a single Wing type of attack, a shift formation, a new method of signal calling, improved huddling procedure, and a new style of defensive signal calling. l 355 Looking back over our most suc- cessful season, We give credit not only to the boys that lettered but to each member of the team. VVithout the good sportsman- ship, team Work, and the determin- ation to win against strong oppos sition, Litchfield could not have finished in third place. The football team will feel the effects of the graduating seniors, but with the return of experienced players together with promising freshmen, l,.H.S. can surpass this season's i'ecord. -Cozzrfz Koflnnfimz. if 'mit Burfkfield, left to right: Watt, left half, Stone, right half, Galindo, fullback, Wood, quarter back.

A smooth and deceptive backfield running from a box formation that could strike both sides of the line or shift into an unbalanced single wing formation characterized the 1952 Litchfield football team. This strategy gave the Owls versatility as well as a main- enance of strong power plays. The successful execution of any play is largely dependent upon the line also, foi without proper blocking, touchdowns would not be possible. The backfield and line work- ing as a single unit made Litchfieldls victory a reality. The graduating class of l953 takes with it eight members of the football team. TQSQUIVEI., a three-year letterman, was a Very Capable player and was exceptional in safety position on defense.

ATG Basketball Team Has Good Season . . . lileven wins and eight losses gave the Varsity Basketball Team one of the best records in years, especially when half of the losing games were lost by only one or two baskets. After opening the 1952-53 season with an overwhelming vie- tory over Gila Bend, the Owls went into a tailspin and lost their next three games. Two of the losses were by slim mar- Buckeye Hawks a 53-38 spanking. The Owls next traveled to Vilickenburg only gins. The provoked Owls then gave the to sit down with a one-point loss-the score being 50-51 in the VVrangler's favor. The Owl cagers came back and swamped the liagdad Thieves 63-27. Then Came the game with the former Champions and runners-up of this season-the mighty Carver Monarchs.

The improving Owls next played the state champions, the Scottsdale Beavers, who were behind all the way till the last two minutes when the Owls staggered again and lost another close game-41-48. The Owl Cagers walloped their next oppon- ents-the rival Tolleson VVolverines-60-3 7-who earlier in the season had defeated the Owls by a slim margin. The Owls then went on to win six of their last 8 games to come out ahead in the win column for their 1952-53 season. As the basketball season came to a close, each of the boys carried with him, the pride of receiving one of the highest honors that any team could desire. The undying spirit to fight and to win through clean action and fair play, brought the Varsity Bask- etball Team the coveted VVest Central District Sportsmanship Award. Upon receiving this trophy at the VVest Central District Tournament, Coach Komadina proudly real- ized that he had successfully implanted in his players, the value of good sportsmanship. Richard Esquivel, Walter Reynolds, David Johns, Pug VVood, and David Solis formed the first team with Al Galindo, Manuel Jimenez, and Jack Hanson substitut- ing frequently. They were ably assisted by Bob lVlclVIillan and Leon Jarnagin. The chosen captain of the squad was forward, Richard Esquivel. First picture: Defensive quintet prepare for rebound.

Band began the school year with flying colors by making a number of commendable appearances at football games Where they added to the spirit of the team and the enthusiasm of the fans. Throughout the season the band could be seen and heard each day during the third period, practicing old and new music and formations in order to make both a harmonious and a colorful display in blue and gold before the spectators of the coming games. The football season was climaxed for the musicians as well as for the football team on Friday, November 14, when Litchfield played Scottsdale. The fun began in the afternoon When the band paraded through Litchfield Park, Goodyear, and Avondale together with decorated cars and floats in honor of the coming game, and that night its outstanding achievement was the playing of the Anniversary VValtz and the for- mation of a 25 in honor of Litchfield High's twenty-fifth year. The band had a most pleasant trip to Tucson for the Senior Day festivities at the University. After being transported by the American Bus, the members met bands from all over Arizona at Tucson and all played at the game that night as one gigantic group. I+'iffh row: Jean Reynolds, Sue Singleton, Shirley Camp- bell, King Cooper, Bobbie Ford, Glenn Cole, Nancy O'Neal.

The next big event was the annual Music Night l'ro- gram in which the Band and Chorus along with many solos and novelties entertained with a concert. Prior to this event the band spent much time practicing everything from Si Trocadero,,' a mambo, to the UlVlagnue Overture. Music Night was a big success. The Band played numerous selections, some of which were Traveler Overture, VVhiffenpoof Songgll fffiyncof pated Clock, f'Stormy XVeather, with a trumpet solo by Laddie Coor, f'Any Time, with johnny Green singf ing a solo, The XVashington Post March, Thundered, and f'The Ragtime VVedding in which character parts were taken by Lavenia Barks, lfrances Hawkins, Buddy Stone, .Iohnny Green, and Ronnie Armstrong.
