We didn't always succeed in having successful activities. Homecoming, minus the tradi- tional bonfire and car rally, was kind of a letdown. As a matter of fact, we missed having all those rallies that were prohibit- ed because of the strike. Pep assemblies were, for the most part, lacking in pep. Much of the enthusiasm that had been a trademark of Morenci in the past seemed to have been lost in the turmoil of the year. It was increasingly hard to get people involved in school activi- ties. An attempt to hold a week- long Air Band contest tal- tered when only two groups signed up. Still, some activities exceeded our expectations. The Hallow- een Carnival drew hundreds of people, and the annual school play attracted one of the largest audiences ever. Despite the disappointments, many students continued to try to make it a successful year. With this extra effort, achieve- ments were made which other- wise may not have been possi- ble.

Small but powerful, sophomores Marc Rue- das, Everett Gordon, and Duane Sanders de- feat the more muscular seniors in the tug-of- war. SENIORS WRAP UP CHAMPIONSHIP WITH TOILET PAPER I I I U ' I x 'Viv After failing to make the catch in the water balloon toss, Traci Flores gets a cool shower. By winning the final event of the day, the toilet paper race, the class of '83 managed to win the Junior Olym- pics for the third consecutive year. The class of '85 led all the way until the last event when the seniors edged them out for the championship. We were leading when the bell rang at 3:12, sighed Martha Gon- zales, but the seniors said we had to do the last scheduled event. The toi- let paper race proved to be the soph- omores' downfall as they finally gave up when the other three classes fin- ished ahead of them. Although most students enjoyed having the Junior Olympics held out- side for the first time, Aurelia Mir- anda was disappointed that the events were held on the football field rather than in the gym. The fresh- men didn't have to do the traditional peanut roll on the field, she com- plained. Probably the biggest surprise of the day was the sophomore boys' win over the senior boys in the tug-of-war. The underclassmen had never beat- en the seniors before, bragged Marc Ruedas. It was my superb strategy, added Damian Tellez, who designed the sophomore team. The seniors went for lots of muscle, but I figured more legs meant more leverage. 16 Junior Olympics . 33 H gg... g . g wg an sm, 'ks ---fs at ff'-. 'Ns X -irlf rs . whmm .
