School Union High School. His untiring devotion as a teacher, sponsor of the annual, and as a friend will always be cherished and remembered by those of us who knew him best. When Mr. Weary came here in 1946 he taught general mathematics and civics, but by 1950 he was teaching only geometry and general business, both of which he enjoyed very much. In 1949 he was appointed sponsor of the annual and continued to serve faithfully un til 1953. Besides being sponsor of the annual he was also the photographer for several years. He gave up much of his free time to develop and print pictures to meet deadlines. In the remainder of his free time and during the summer months he was a partner with his brother in the contracting business. In so far as anyone could, Mr. Weary emulated the Teacher. He was devout and had definite convictions, which he never compromised. He lived for an ideal and that ideal was teaching. He took infinite pains with his stu- dents and their work, such as filing the work of every one of his students in separate folders. All that he did was never recognized by a great majority of his students and he was never paid for all the extra work he did. His record of service exceeds any compensation. We are reminded of Longfellow’s words: Through long days of labor And nights devoid of ease, Still heard in his soul the music Of wonderful melodies. These wonderful melodies continue as the inspiration of those who dedicate this an- nual to Mr. Weary, teacher and friend. Memorial BILLY HOGG A member of the student body of Tempe Union High School, Billy Hogg proved his ability as a superior athlete, but to his school- mates far greater was his everyday good sportsmanship. We will not soon forget Billy’s good humor, constant helpful- ness, and spirit of fair play. He had a great capacity for friendship—that’s why young and old; in school or community life; everyone knew and enjoyed Billy’s companionship. He is still our friend and for his contribution to Tempe Union High School we dedicate this page to Billy Hogg. Memorial Dolores Lola Gonzales The report of the passing of Lola Gonzales brings a sense of genuine loss to our school. She will long be remembered for her personality and the good sportsmanship she always ex- hibited. A member of the sophomore class, Lola was liked and re- spected by all those who knew her. Memorial Bernard will remain in our memory as a hard working boy who took his studies seriously. He liked sports and was on the varsity football team this past year. He was always friendly and everyone liked him. He had a contagious laugh and seemed to have a keen sense of humor. Although Bernard Harper was not known to all the stu- dents his death brought a genuine sense of loss to the student body. In Tribute Seated: Mr. Benedict, Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Owens. Standing: Mr. Moeur, Mr. Reeves, Mr. McMillian. To The Board Of Education We, the students of Tempe Union High School, express to the Board of Education, and the whole community which they represent, our appreciation for the very fine facilities that we now have, and the consideration we have received. Three years ago to the members of the board a new high school was but a dream, a vision which has now become a reality. The task remaining before them and us is still huge as work is being con- tinued on landscaping and further plans for expansion which includes an auditorium, gymnasium, additional classrooms now completed. Our gratitude is unlimited to the great efforts which they have made in our behalf. Scaled: Harry Hallickson, Kenny Rivers, Bobby Bloom. Paul Aldridge, Verline Bosworth, A1 Williams, Niki Means.

Student Council This year the student council has had an exceptional year. Being in the new school has created many problems. To cope with these problems the officers and members have all had to contribute and do their share. It can safely be said that all of them have done their best and the classes, which they represent, can be proud of their rep- resentatives. Each year the student council members and their dates have an annual picnic. Be- sides this they sponsor the March of Dimes drive at T.U.H.S., sponsor a dance, and hold numerous other activities. They also are in charge of the snack bar. The pro- ceeds from this goes into the student coun- cil fund, which pays for a part of the cheerleaders’ uniforms and extra things the school might need, such as flowers and operating the coke machines.

The Senior Class has at last reached its destiny. After many hardships and struggles we have finally com- pleted four successful years of high school. During our Sophomore year we originated a slave day which has become an annual event. In our Junior 4 year we were very proud of the prom and banquet we gave the Seniore at the Westward Ho Hotel. One of the events of our Senior year which everybody looks forward to is our ditch day. The plays presented by our class were “Here Comes Charlie” and Take Care of My Little Girl.” One of our nicest privileges was that we were the first class to graduate from the new Tempe Union High School. We want to thank our teachers, our advisors and Mr. Benedict for all the help they gave us. Best wishes and good luck to the underclassmen!

Some of these include: a pennant sale, the annual Junior-Senior Prom and the usual dances and pep-rallies. The presentation of a class play en- titled Men Are Like Streetcars in which everyone worked diligently to make a success. We wish to express our deepest regrets and sympathies for a loyal member of the class. Bernard Harper, whom we will always remember. We are setting our hopes and goals for our last year of high school, with the idea of having a better class which gained knowledge and experience to help us in our future efforts.

The aim of every yearbook editor is to present to the students a better annual than in previous years. Our staff has put forth many hours of work for the ‘•Horizon and though it may not be our best, we have done our best to make it so. I want to express my gratitude to all the staff mem- bers who worked so diligently on this 1954 yearbook. Without them this annual would not be what it is. Special thanks go to my assistant editor, Kathleen Goodwin. She gave up many things to work on the annual and under her editorship the 1955 edition of the Horizon is sure to be one of the best.

Although you may have come in contact with the photographers, it would be impossible to realize just how much work goes into developing and printing pictures. Mr. Corno. Harvey, and Melvin have done a fine job. Roann Scott and Barbara Jenner have also done more than their share of the work. No mat- ter how much work was piled on them they man- aged to get it done.

Buffalo Staff As beginners in September, eleven journalists have made history this year, organizing a staff and beginning reg- ular publication of the “BUFFALO.” Starting as a mimeographed paper, Vol. 1, No. 5 was presented to the Student Body on December 23 as the first print- ed newspaper in the history of the high school. It is published bi-weekly, sold to the students on a subscription basis, and is entirely self-sustaining, using no school funds whatever. On April 3 the staff sponsored the first annual “Press Ball.” The BUF- FALO” has endorsed the Exchange Stu- dent Program, ballroom dancing les- sons, and has waged a continuous cam- paign for safe driving by teenagers. The mail edition of the paper now numbers seventy-five and the paper is sent to all parts of the U. S. and to three foreign countries.

In De- cember we furnish a Christmas Box for some needy family. In the spring we have an All Girls Dinner and a Senior Mother Daughter Banquet. Also during the year there are three conventions, each at a different school. This gives the girls a chance to become acquainted with other girls from all over the state. We also spon- sor a dance, pep rally, Kiddie Day,.and other things to provide entertainment and recreation for the High School. Y -Teens To start out one of the most active years in Y-Teens history at THS, one hundred enthusiastic girls turned out for the first meeting. First on the calendar of events was the annual car-wash which was a big success. A conference of all the Y-Teen clubs in the valley was held at the Boy Scout Pueblo, October 10th and 11th. Five girls represented the Tcmpe club. Another huge success of the year was the Glendale football dance with music provided by the Sun Devil Dance Band. The initiation of new members was called Sunday Best Day where all the initiates were required to wear hats, heels and hose. The recognition service and Thanksgiving dinner was held at Harman’s Ranch Restaurant. Three other projects in October and November were, serving at the Red Feather Kickoff, providing information booths at Open House and making a scarf to be sent to Brazil for the Scarfs Around the World project of the Y.W.C.A. On December 16, the Y-Teens decorated the school for Christmas and had their annual party with gift exchanging. They also had a part to do in the Christmas assembly, December 23. Projects for the rest of the year were, a taffy-pull in January with the Hi-Y boys, a Valentine formal for Y-Teen mem- bers and dates, a bake sale in March and a trip to Rosemary Lodge, April 9th Pat Andrews, vice president, Janice Selleh. and 10th. secretary, Gail Blalock, treasurer and Rosalind McMillan, president.

Y-Teen Pep Rally Collecting money for the polio drive at the bridge. Hi-Y The Hi-Y is a club that emphasizes clean living, clean speech, and clean sportsmanship. We are forty-three members strong and everyone has taken part in one activity or another. The club had two projects this year, one was to sell Christ- mas cards for the Y.M.C.A. World Service program and the other was helping to coach and officiate the little league basketball. Among our many activities this year was participating in the Hi-Y basketball tournament, participating in the Hi-Y Model Legislature, sponsoring a dance, and having numerous parties. Bobby Bloom.

Unification and organization of this club has brought forth a new name, which is “Spanish American Club.” It’s membership embraces not only the Spanish speaking, but all stu- dents who are interested in Spanish Language and Culture. Plans for the year included annual picnic, parties and the ‘‘Biggest and Best Dance of the Year.” The club has been sponsored by Miss Ida Price, who has worked very hard, using her own time to make this club a success which we feel it is.

Under his directing the name of the Club was changed to Legio Romunorum or Legion of. the Ro- mans. A new constitution was adopted and new officers were elected. Legio Romunorum was then turned over to its officers who strived to make clearer an un- derstanding of Roman culture.

Miss Huey was named the sponsor and the officers who were elected were: Ben Givandan, president; Jean Hollenbeak, vice- president; Lucy Ball, secretary; Ford Holtzman, science scout. The purpose of the club is to in- crease knowledge of science. The members worked on individual projects for a science fair which was held in April. Stu- dents entering from Tempe were Gail and John Blalock, Jack Foster, Ben Givaudan and several Freshmen. Miss Huey helped the students in their work, but she could only give them advice because the projects had to be their own crea- tions. Science Club Row 1: Duane Weary. Frank Windes, Kennv White.

A charter was granted in the fall of 1953, and the first meeting, and initiation banquet was held in Phoenix on March 17, 1954. The Executive Secretary of the International Quill and Scroll Society, an Honorary Society for High School Journalists, approved the entire 11 member staff of the “BUFFALO” as candidates for membership after submission of writing samples and ap- proval of the journalism sponsor. Attending the initiation banquet as honored guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Benedict, Miss Della Martin, Mr. and Mrs. Warnken, Mr. Corno, Miss Jo Jo Craddock and Miss Kathleen Goodwin. Miss Della Martin was selected as Honorary Sponsor at the first business meeting, and the Chapter is officially listed as the Della Martin Chapter of the Quill and Scroll Society. Permanent officers will be elected next September. Mr. Warnken is named as Founding Sponsor. This picture was taken at the Quill and Scroll initiation dinner. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Benidict, Della Mar- tin, Mr. Corno, Mrs. Warnken, Jo Jo Craddock, and Kathleen Goodwin. The officers are from left to right: Lois Coppinger, secretary- treasurer; Karen Mount, vice president; John Blythe, president; and Miss Jones, sponsor. These three officers are all very interested in dramatics. Karen Mount, who had the lead in Take Care of My Little Girl, has also starred in several Little Theater Plays. Lois is very good at dramatic readings and has done several in assemblies and talent shows. She was also in the senior and the junior play. John too took a lead role along with Karen in the senior play. Besides being in the play he also planned the set, along with Miss Jones. At the beginning of the year the Thesp- ians had only a few members, but by the end of the year had increased the number four times. During the first semester we attended several plays at Phoenix Little Theater and Arizona State College.

They were a very active club in be school and raised enough money, through bake sales, pnces and dinners to go on a Spring Concert Tour of Arizona. The officers were: President. Phyllis Hebner; Vice Presi- fcnt, Barbara Clemens; and Secretary-Treasurer, Beverly iemens.

Cheerleaders and Buffalo Cals Cheerleading is not all fun. because it takes constant ef- fort and practice on the part of the Cheerleaders to enable them to stay together. Their job is to promote school spirit among all the students. Although the spirit this year wasn’t quite up to par. Marilyn, Jerri, Katie, and Glenda all did a swell job. Because Katie had to join her parents in California we were left only momentarially without a cheerleader. We were fortunate to have as a runner-up a girl who could learn all the cheers on such short notice. We the students, salute Glenda Roberts for her accomplishment. Ten pom-pon girls are selected by Miss Price and other judges at the end of the year for the following year. All the routines are made up by the girls. Because of these original routines our pom-pon girls are considered some of the best in the state. They are always ready and willing to entertain us at our football and basketball games. The Buffalo Gals are shown about to begin cn� of their favorite routines “When The Saints Go Marching In” in the upper left picture.

The Tempe Lettermen’s Club is made up of boys who letter I in the various sports—football, basketball, track, tennis—andl their managers. There is no distinction as to what class the! boys are in. If they letter in a sport when they are freshmen| then they can become a member at the end of that year. With the money that was made from the concessions standi at the football games, they bought new uniforms for the| Buffalo Gals. This has also been done in the cast two years. At the end of each year the boys who are eligible to joinl the club are given a big initiation. The boys are made to dol various things, but the initiation the past year or so has been! relatively mild compared to previous vears. This event is fol-l lowed bv a father and son banouet whi h is a verv nice affairj A new constitution has been written for the club. Itf nromisos to make the club into a better organization for the| boys who do letter in sports. SPORTS Row 1.

Though the Buffaloes did not win a game they showed the students that they tried their best by their attitude of “we’ll win the next one for sure. The next one was always the same story, but they took each defeat like a trooper. Several boys will be graduating, but an enthusiastic group of jun- iors and seniors will be taking their places. These boys will have to tackle schools from a different conference. Although the competi- tion will be stiffer the coaches are looking forward to a good year.

In the first quarter Connie Smith recovered a fumble in the end-zone to tie the game 6-6, but the Cougers only bounced back harder. The Buf- faloes loosing so many lettermen from the class of 1953 did not help matters any. • lov tlaWcs «-gas Nogales 26-12 On September 25 the Buffaloes traveled to the border city of Nogales to meet the Nogales Apaches. The Apaches were really on the war path, but the Buffs gave them the battle of their lives. Mike Alvarez ran 60 yards for the first touchdown and Mike Moeur made the other touch- down. In this game the Buffaloes showed signs of real teamwork. They gave an outstanding performance and really fought hard. Glendale 32-0 On October 23 the Glendale Cardinals invaded our home territory. The Buf- faloes had several breaks and after a hard fought game the Cardinals walked away with a 32-0 victory. Coolidge 20-19 On October 3 the Buffs traveled to Coolidge to play one of the best games of the season. In the first quarter Mike Alvarez ran 65 yards for a touchdown. John Cunningham ran 69 yards for a second quarter touchdown and he also scored again in the third quarter. The Buffaloes missing one conversion caused them to loose 20-19. CARVER 45-0 The Buffaloes went down in easy de- feat on November 6 to the Carver Mon- archs. The Monarchs are one of the toughest teams in the state. Our team tried hard, but the odds were against us. SUPERIOR 13-13 The game against the Superior Panthers was the closest we came to winning this year. The score was tied 13-13 when the game ended. Last year we also tied the Panthers with the same score, 13-13. It was a verv exciting game as all the Tempo fans were rooting hard for a win. Kneeling: John Dana. Paul Aldridge. Don Reynolds.

The students of Tempe Union High School can be proud of their basketball team. The team surprised everyone by advancing from an almost defeated position to the runner-up of the con- ference. We won our first game from Gilbert, followed by an upset over Superior. This nut us in the semi-finals playing against Chandler. During the season we won the first game from Chandler, but they on the return brut defeated us. The semi-final game was a thriller with Tempe com- ing out on top. Much to cur disappointment Casa Grande with her excellent record of no loses completely outplayed our team in the finals. Tempe was well represented at both the state and the conference games. We can thank the school authorities for the opportunities they gave us to attend. They excused students to go to the state tournament games, which were played dur- ing school hours. Although our team did not make much head- way at state they did their best and exhibited outstanding sportsmanship. Coach Miller can be applauded for his fine work in coaching. He gave both his time and effort to make our team what it was. Row 1 Duane Cookus, Jessie Venezuela, John Cunningham. Mike Alvarez. Bob Enright, Jim Stiebing. Paul Rogers.

It pays off for the boys in the long run, because eventually they are put on varsity teams where they get credit for their service. Baseball is no exception. The freshmen and junior varsity team members work out every day the same as the varsity baseball team. Some are looking forward to a success- ful season on the varsity next year. Row 1. John Blalock.

It is like a three ring circus, because there are always several events taking place at once —races, broadjumping, high jump, pole vault, and discus. Each is exciting in its own way and there is constant activity on the field. When boys go out for track they have in mind that this is going to be work. If they go out with the spirit of doing their best and keep up this spirit they usually are well rewarded.

These five girls play matches against other girls from other schools. So far this year the tennis team has won eight, lost two, and have tied one. There is also a Junior Varsity and a Fresh- man team. They also practice and have a few matches against other schools. ACTI Homecomi Homecoming was an especially big event this year. Floats along with crowning of Queen Marilyn and King Bobby highlighted the intermission as far as we know this was the first year to have floats. The floats proved to be such a success that they are to become an annual event. There was strong competition between the four classes for • . the honor of winning first prize. Though the seniors won first the other three floats were exceptional. A new type of pep rally was planned for this event. Instead of having the pep rally after school it was held just before the game. This created a greater participation in the yells, because the students were united as a whole. The evening didn’t end with the game. The students who wanted could attend the Homecoming Dance, decorated with the scenes from the Mardi Gras. All in all the homecoming events were a huge success. HOMECOMING ROYALTY Bobby Glover and Marilyn Brechan Senior Float—1st Place Sophomore Float Due to unfortunate circumstances a picture of the Freshman float was not taken.

Jo Jo Craddock was elected bv her classmates and the faculty for her loyal service, her out- standing citizenship and leadership and for her high scholastic standing to receive the D.A.R. award. It is an honor given only to a deserving senior. Daniel Hall received three gold keys in the National Scholastic Art Competition for his out- standing art work. Shown above is Miss Hcnton, Superintendent of the Florence Crittenden Home, who spoke to us at one of our assemblies on “High School Behavior.” The remaining pictures were taken at the Christ- mas Assembly presented by the Y-Tecns. Assemblies We Saw You At The Basketball Came The basketball games this season were very well attended, especially during the district and state tournaments. The band, the Buffalo Gals, and the cheerleaders put forth all their effort to keep the spirit up and they did an excellent job. This is evidenced by the showing in these pictures. The scorekeepers, too. are to be thanked for their conscientious work. Pictured here are a few of the gatherings which include the majority of the student body. Four of these pictures are of Pep Rallies. The Pep Rallies this year have been well con- ducted and fairly well attended, although at times there has been slight evidence of a slipping school spirit. The center picture was taken at the dedication of the trees located in the Patio. These trees, were given to the school as a1 memorial to Mr. J. T. Birchett. | All Girls Dinner Open House NOVEMBER 13, 1953 Open House was a big success this year with a record crowd of about seven hundred people attending. It was the first time many of the parents had had a chance to see the new High School Plant and to meet the faculty. This type of program is given each year be- cause it gives the teachers and parents an oppor- tunity to become better acquainted. It also encourages the parents to discuss the progress of their children with the teachers. An excellent program was held in the cafeteria for the parents. Speeches were made by Paul Aldridge. Mr. Benedict and Mr. Goodwin. A selected number of Glee Club members sang and j skit was presented by the advanced speech •lass. Sylvia Crosby did a tap dance and Lois oppinger gave a humorous reading. Afterwards refreshments were served by mem- ers of the cafeteria staff. Dim Bulb Contest John Will and David Blcsh were the center of attraction dur- ing the Dim Bulb Contest. It was sponsored by the Glee Club toj raise money for their tour April 22. John Will finally came out[ on top. Western Day is heralded with a shout of joy from the girls,| because it's the only day the girls are allowed to wear levis. From the merriment pictured on their faces—Jeannie, Kenna Faye, and Margie are having the time of their life. Slave Day went over big this year with the seniors being the] guinea pigs. Underclassmen thought it great sport to rib the sen-[ iors for a change. Jonathan Wexler seems to have a smug look oi his face. It couldn’t be because Ford was his slave, could it? Snapshot Contest The snapshot contest held for the first time this year and sponsored by the annual staff proved to be one of the most interest- ing events of the school year. First place prizes, a free annual, went to Marilyn Carr. Peggy Kelly and Cherie Pease. Second place winner was Judy Spangler who re- ceived down payment on her annual. Third and fourth prizes were free tickets to the Coranation Ball. Several honorable men- tions were given.
