King Sponsor 9 THE TUSAYAN CLASS PROPHECY On May 31, 1968, the Class of ’48 met in Williams, Arizona, for a class reunion. The class met at the new restaurant cn Bill Williams Avenue and the meeting was called to order by the former senior class president, Marc Smith. In his opening remarks Marc said, “We are gathered here today, twenty years after our graduation from Williams High School, for our first class reunion. Nearly all of us have been out of touch with each other for the past twenty years and, therefore, I am going to ask each member to stand and tell the rest of the class in what occupation he is now engaged and what his plans for the future are.” At this point A1 Jo Suncelia stood up, all 330 pounds of him, and «aid, “President Marc, I have talked to every member of the class before the meeting started and I find that none of them are satisfied in their occupations. None of them want to talk about the years that have passed since they graduated from high school. Another peculiar thing is that none of the girls have ever married. Every member of the class wants to leave the occupation he is now engaged in, and wants to go to some new frontier to start life over.” A1 Jo’s speech met with a great show of enthusiasm from the class of ’48. and even Marc himself admitted that he was tired of playing profession 1 football and would like to make a new start. Frank Holladay then rose and stated that he had been promised a job as a conductor on the new Outer Space Streetcar that would make its maiden trip to Mars in two weeks, a short distance of about 50,000,000 1 8 miles. He suggested that the entire class get in touch wifh the new street car company and move en masse to Mars and start life anew. This met with a hearty reception and the rest of the meeting was spent in getting details from Frank. Two weeks later the class of ’48 met in the Mojave Desert where the Outer Space Streetcar Company had erected a station. Every member of the class was well supplied with materials, goods, ar.d equipment to set up businesses on Mars. The Outer Space Street Car departed on time and the Class of ’48 was launched on a new life. On arriving on Mars everyone immediately begin to look for new jobs and places to start a new life. Right away Carl Curry and Gary Massey found a very exciting position. Due to the fact that they had always been lovers of nature, they secured a 2-year contract to catch butterflies of a r. re species. They were entirely invisible except for their eyes, that is the butterflies were invisible, not Massey and Curry. What a job! But they both seemed very well satisfied until the Martians decided that people 10 THE TUSAYAN who chased butterflies were off their beam and put Curry and Massey in the booby hatch. Joyce Simms, still not over having won the Oratorical Contest in Constitution, decided to find a job as a great speaker. So she finally acquired a position at a rocket-ship railroad station announcing the arrival and departure of rocket ships. That way she gets to talk all day long and never says anything. Keys, Hogue, and Grace opened up a magnificent theatre. It’s quite different from those on earth. They are running silent pictures. With all three of them gabbing, the customers couldn’t hear anyway. Nancy runs the bubble gum counter. Billye Joyce cashiers, and Dorothy is the bouncer. Being a bouncer is no trouble at all for her because since ’48 she has put on another 98 pounds. Jeanne Vick became a pop-corn girl at the theatre. She was happy. It was a big change because her job on earth as a soda jerk had been so hard. Now she is just a plain jerk. Wyche and Lovitt began a partnership business of their own. With Billy Gene’s brains and Stanton’s clever ability to ski, they immediately invented a pair of jet-propelled skis. The only thing they didn’t think about was snow—there isn’t any on Mars. George Violetta seemed to be trying to keep his occupation more or less a secret. For days at a time he was gone, but when he returned he always had plenty of money. After a careful investigation, it was found that he had a job of filling up the holes on the moon. People are beginning to get a little worried about him because an ancient belief on Mars says that people who spend too much time in the moonlight get loony. We’re net worried because he was that way before he went to Mars. Angelita Pozas, better known as the “Chemistry Genius,” had by coming to Mars, realized her greatest ambition because chemists were greatly needed. In no time at all she was famous all over Mars, because one of her experiments blew up and distributed her over the entire planet. Phillip McDonald and Charles Thurston decided to become piano tuners. While training they spent two weeks at the school and three in the hospital. It seems that every time Phillip pulled a chord it broke and wrapped itself around his neck almost choking him to death, and Charles was always breaking his fingers and occasionally an arm. But in a few years, when they have completely recovered, they will have a steady job as Jose Iturbi’s personal piano tuners. Sheila Williams and Mary Pendleton purchased a pair of scissors, a razor, and a couple of bottles of deluxe shampoo, and set up the first (Continued on Page Thirteen) 11 THE TUSAYAN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1944, forty-two freshmen eagerly entered high school. Our first act as high school students was to elect officers for our freshman year. Marcus Rawlins was elected president; Stanton Wyche, vice-president ; and Donald Cameron, secretary-treasurer. After we were vigorously initiated by the sophomore class and a dance had been given in our honor, we were full-fledged members of Williams High School. As such, we gave the annual Hallowe’en Dance. May of 1945 brought our freshman year to a close. One year older and one year more intelligent, we entered our sophomore year. A1 Jo Suncelia was elected president; Wanda Rippy Gruette, vice-president; and Virgil Crockett, secretary-treasurer. As sophomores, we were better acquainted and began to take more interest in the various school activities. Six of us were on the Viking Staff and six girls were in the Drum and Bugle Corps. We were represented by seven members in the Dramatic Club and by two in the Art Club. A1 Jo Suncelia and Marc Smith made the football team. As a whole, our sophomore year was well rounded and one of our best in high school. The year ended on a tragic note, however, when Donald Cameron was drowned at his Red Lake home in May. At last we were juniors and upperclassmen! How long we had waited for this day. We elected Frank Holladay as our president; Virgil Crockett, vice-president and Wanda Rippy Gruette, secretary-treasurer. That year proved very successful for us in every way. Our play, “Shiny Nose,” was one of the best in many years. A1 Jo Suncelia and Marc Smith made the All Northern Team in football. Joyce Simms, Dorothy Hogue and Jeanne Vick were cheer leaders and Billye Joyce Keys and Charlotte Anne Wilson were twirlers. Five members of our class were initiated into the Thespian Club and several girls were in the Christmas Cantata, “The Heavenly Child.” Our Junior Prom was given on May 18 and we ended the year by entertaining the seniors on our annual junior-senior picnic at Oak Creek Canyon. Our last year in Williams High School began in the fall of 1947. This was a very busy year for us and we were well represented in all activities. We had seven classmates on the Viking Staff; Mary Pendleton and Charlotte Anne Wilson were co-editors. There were several of us on the Tusayan Staff with A1 Jo Suncelia as editor-in-chief. Our class was represented in the Rifle Club, Ski Club, Art Club, Thespian and Dramatic Clubs, and the “W” Club. Marc Smith made the All State first team, and A1 Jo Suncelia made the All State third team in football. Charlotte Anne Wilson won a National Typing Contest and four others won typing awards. Joyce Simms won the Oratorical Con- 12 THE TUSAYAN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY test in our school. The Drum and Bugle Corps was invited to march at the State Fair in Phoenix. The Corps marched November 8th and was a credit to our school. Charlotte Anne Wilson was the majorette of the Drum and Bugle Corps. Dorothy Hogue. Billye Joyce Keys, Jeanne Vick, Nancy Grace and Charlotte Anne Wilson received awards for being in the Drum and Bugle Corps four years. Our Senior Hop was given on April 24, and we were the guests of the juniors at the annual junior-senior picnic at Oak Creek Canyon. Our school days ended with our graduation on May 20, 1948. Joyce Simms, Class Historian SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from Page Eleven) “Barber Shop” on Mars. Their first customer was Ray Gerkey, who went along with the Class of ’48, but when the native Martians took one look at him, they shipped him back to Ohio, C. O. D. The latest reports from Sheila and Mary state that the “New Look” on Mars for men calls for beards and long hair. Charlie Smith took a pool table and opened up the first pool hall. He added a new wrinkle to the game by using square cue balls. Charlotte Anne Wilson and Emma Jane Riggins are attending night school. Of course, they go in the day time, too. They want to prove that one can be as smart in the dark as well as in the light. So far, they haven’t proved anything. While on earth Frank Carrillo was a great saxophone player. Arriving on Mars, however, he gave up his “Sax” and opened a beauty shop. He specialized in crew-cuts. Melvin Powell has recently become his junior partner. His main job is glueing ears back on, picking up hair and giving manicures. They have recently developed a new paste for replacing eye brows, noses, and sundry articles that might happen to be snipped off by mistake. Marc and A1 Joe rented a small gymnasium and opened a Turkish Bath. They specialize in reducing. A1 Joe was the best customer for the first six month for he was trying to lose at least 150 of his 330 pounds. Virgil Crockett, being the last one, just couldn’t find a job. He had walked from one end of the planet to the other and has worn the soles of his shoes completely off. Success had hit everyone in the face except him. Finally one day it came to him like a brain storm. He would become a bum, a professional bum, and without a doubt became better off than the rest of the class. 13 Billye Joyce Keys THE TUSAYAN CLASS WILL I, Jeanne Vick, will my ability to sleep in class without snoring to my dear brother, and I hope he doesn’t get caught as often as I did. I, Joyce Simms, will my dish water hands to Bennie Blanton, who is also nutty enough to be a soda jerk. I, Charles Smith, hereby leave my ability to get zeros in Spanish to Junior Pena.

I, Phillip McDonald, leave my big ears to Clyde Poson, hoping he will never get caught in a wind storm. I, George Violetta, leave my ability to grow a beard to Bob Maiohel.

DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS The Williams High School All Girl Drum and Bugle Corps enjoyed their most successful season this year and receieved state-wide recognition for their work when they were invited to march during the State Fair in Phoenix. The Corps started work the first week of school and put on between-the-halves drill for the Flagstaff game in Flagstaff. Before the game the Corps were the guests of the Flagstaff Drum and Bugle Corps. The first home appearance of the squad was made during the half of the Snowflake game. Additional appearances were made during the halves of the Seligman, Kingman and Clarkdale games. In addition to between-the-halves drills put on by the squad, the girls also marched through neighboring towns and worked with the host school in pre-game activities. A new social angle entered the Drum and Bugle Corps picture this year when Flagstaff invited the Williams Corps to dinner before the Flagstaff-Williams game. Another invitation was received and (Continued on Page Seventy-One) 33 THE TUSAYAN 4Z- DRUM - BUGLE CORPS - 48 DRUMMERS BUGLERS Dutf «U Dir«otor UixQndt A A «an KeR Kirtfi COLOR GUARD PeRhiJS Kenrwdy A .

Faced with the task of building a new backfield and refilling gaping holes in the line, he worked patiently and long to mold a smooth working eleven. The season’s record shows a very successful year, particularly after the boys began rolling. The Vikings dropped their first two games, but in the last five games of the season, the team tasted defeat only once and then after a very bitterly fought game with the Kingman Bulldogs. After losing to Flagstaff and Jerome the Vikings suddenly found themselves in the second half of the Snowflake game. Trailing 12-0 as the second half started, the team began to work as a well oiled unit and scored twice to tie up the ball game as the final whistle blew. Seligman and Cottonwood were both handed convincing defeats, and then came the toughest game of the season as Kingman handed the Vikings a defeat on the Kingman field. The last game of the season found two evenly matched teams when Clarkdale visited Williams. The Vikings scored in the last seconds of the game and converted to turn what looked like a certain defeat into a 13-13 tie. Marc Smith brought an honor to the school that had never before been received by a Williams football player when he was named to the Arizona Republic All State football team. A1 Jo Suncelia was named to the third team. This in itself was an outstanding accomplishment because A1 Jo broke a shoulder in the first game of the season and played in a total of only three games during the entire season. Marc was also chosen on the All-Northern team while A1 Jo was placed on the second All-North team. Geether Burrage received Honorable Mention on the All-Northern team. Eleven seniors were awarded letters at the close of the season, and their loss will be sorely felt next year. The members of the class of ’48 who have played their last game of football for Williams are Marc Smith, A1 Jo Suncelia, Garry Massey, Carl Curry, George Violetta, Melvin Powell, Virgil Crockett, Frank Holladay, Murray Williams, and Bob Maichel. Returning lettermen include Mark Byrd, Grant Smith, Collin Owen, Jr. Richards, Louis Pena, Bill Willsey, Bill Harp, Lauro Garcia, Wayne Still, and Geether Burrage.

The bulk of the squad was composed of sophomores and the team started slowly but showed great improvement as the season went along. The highlight of the season came on the night the Vikings administered a 26-20 defeat to their traditional rivals, the Flagstaff Eagles, to atone for an earlier defeat at the start of the season. Prospects for next year are bright with the majority of the squad returning. Virgil Crockett and A1 Jo Suncelia will be lost to the team because they played their last year of basketball this year. Returning veterans will be Mark Byrd, Bill Willsey, Collin Owen, Wayne Still, Junior Richards, Geether Burrage, Ralph Vick, and Bill Banbury. The Junior High team enjoyed an exceptionally successful season under the direction of Coach Randolph Warren. Their regular season record showed 11 wins and 3 losses. They climaxed the season by winning the Junior High School Tournament at Flagstaff. Two members of the team were chosen on the All-Tournament team. They were Bunky Williamson and Andy Rodriquez. The members of the team graduate to varsity competition next year. Williams 18 32 Winslow Williams 15 25 Seligman Williams 38 51 A. S. C.

Hoping you will be thankful for small favors, we have to this, our last will and testament, subscribed our signatures and set our seals this twenty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nineteen hundred and forty eight. DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS (Continued from Page Thirty-Three) accepted from the Kingman girls when the football team traveled to Kingman. Williams invited the Clarkdale girls, and the two squads had a luncheon together in Williams before the football game between the schools. Feeling that better relations between schools are promoted and that individual members of the drum and bugle squads can become better acquainted the girls plan to continue the dinners next year. The highlight of the year came with the invitation for the girls to march during the Arizona State Fair. Thirty-eight very excited girls made the trip and marched for the crowds on the fair grounds during the day. The squad made such a good impression they were asked to open the evening ceremonies in front of the Main Grand Stand. The girls, receiving many compliments, were praised as a very fine group and a credit to the school. 71
