The cheerleaders kept busy making posters for the walls and hanging up locker decorations. They held pep ral- lies to raise spirits and made break- throughs for the games. They practiced two hours every day after school. Var- sity practice began during sixth period. Activities included a JV-freshman pep rally scheduled in February, a clinic at Sunshine School and at the Junior high during the summer. The freshmen planned and prepared a cookout for the football team. The freshmen cheerleaders spon- sored a car wash, and the JV and var- sity cheerleaders sold glass tumblers to make money to pay for their expenses at summer camp. I. Rachel Quarrell, Debra Saenz.

The football season got off to a bad start. Even before practice began $1,200 worth of equipment was stolen. But with the help of Cnme Stoppers and the Deming Headlight most of it was returned. About fifty boys showed up for prac- tice sessions in August to work out under Head Coach Sim Willis, Assist- ant Head Coach Rex Smith, along with Coaches Vince Almanza and Mike Jaime. Manager was Armando Reyes and Brad Smith was the trainer. The season opened in Shiprock, playing against the Chieftains, and Deming lost 14-26. The Wildcats only scores came on a 37-yard run by David Lara and a 45-yard run by Steve Shel- don. The ' Cats were shut out by NMMI 22-0. They were hampered by lack of blocking, and made only 19 yards rush- ing the whole game. The ' Cats were also hampered by the loss of Clarence Jackson with a broken leg and David Aranda with a broken collar bone. For the second time in a row, the ' Cats were bothered with fumbles, eight to be exact. The fumbles allowed Cathedral to win 14-0. The fourth loss of the season to Clint, Texas, 28 to 6 spoiled some of the Homecoming spirit, but not much. Silver then downed Deming 49-0, scoring 35 points in the first half, but Deming held Silver to 14 points in the second half. The ' Cats next fell to Tularosa 25-0. Tuly scored 21 of their 28 points in the first fifteen minutes of the game. Gadsden flattened Deming, a team which by now vi as plagued with inju- ries and inexperience, 35 to 0. Ruidoso, perhaps the best team in district 3A, got the best of Deming, and put them down 34-0. Deming ' s next opponent was the Cobre Indians. Both had 0-8 records when they went on the field. The Indi- ans scored first on a very impressive drive to make the score 7-0. The score remained 7-0 at half time. Cobre, which Deming beat last year 80-0, was out for revenge. After half time, Deming stormed on to the field and drove 80 yards for Deming ' s first score. The officials made a very contro- versial call and called the extra point no good, which made the score 7-6 in favor of Cobre. Deming was mad, got the ball back on a Cobre fumble and five plays later scored. Deming tried a two-point conversion and the players thought they had it, but the officials said no, so Deming led 12 to 7. Dem- ing, thinking they were going to win the game, held Cobre to fourth 12 on the 18 with 45 seconds left. Cobre, with a last burst of desperation, went for it all and came up with an 82-yard touch- down pass to make the score 13 to 12 in Cobre ' s favor. Deming in the last seconds tried to come back and went down the field 50 yards before the game was over. Coach Willis said, The game is never won until the last whistle blows. The ' Cats ended the season winless, but spirited, as they lost their last game of the season to Hot Springs, 47-9. Sen- ior tight end Mike Lively said, Lack of experience and numerous injuries hurt us, but overall it was a good season.

Behind the thrill of competition and the determination to win. junior varsity sports are designed to prepare the par- ticipants for varsity action the follow- ing year. According to JV Football Coach Mike Jaime, that was accom- plished with the 1980-81 Wildcat JV team. We had some good players, and I think they learned quite a bit, said Jaime. We had a lot of inexperienced sophomores, but we taught them the basics. Helping coach the JV gridders was first-year, non-faculty coach Vince Almanza, one of two DHS football coaches recruited from outside the school system. The JV ' Cats had a rather disap- pointing season with a 1-4 district record and a 2-5 slate overall. The ' Cats bounced back from a 30-12 loss in the season opener to down the Morenci Wildcats, 14-3. Following were losses to T or C, Gadsden and Las Cruces, 27- 12, 32-0 and 47-12. Having only two district contests left, the JV gridders fell to rival Silver City, 28-8, and in their final game of the year downed the Cobre Indians, 14-6. The Cobre game was our best of the year, said Jaime. We played the Cobre varsity minus about six seniors, and we beat them. Our varsity lost to them just a few days later. Leading the J V gridders at the quar- terback position were Juniors Billy Chaires and Edward Floras. Junior Alex Almanza also saw some action as quarterback. Scorers for the JV ' s included Juniors Felipe Ramos, Obie Means, Flores, Almanza, and Jeff Honeycutt and sophomore Javier Ramos. Ernest Wilson and Allen Fields also saw a lot of action as run- ning backs. Though, according to Jaime, his team was inexperienced, there is hope for future years. We had to start almost from the beginning, and we really had a lot of problems with fum- bles. We didn ' t have great speed or size, either, but the kids got some game experience and improved throughout this year. Next year, ended Jaime, the varsity should be strong if the kids didn ' t get too discouraged this year. They learned and got their experience the hard way, but it should really help out if they stick with it next year.

The freshman football team had many new faces. Among the new faces were the faces of two new coaches, DHS Choir Director Ed Foley and David Torres, salesman for Orowheat who took over the job of Dick Pool and Mike Jaime who coached freshmen the previous year. The first game was Sep- tember 6 against Hatch Junior Varsity and the Frosh lost 22-8. In the second game Deming came out ahead against Snell 14-6. Eddie Smylie scored Deming ' s first touch- down on a three-yard run in the first quarter. The second touchdown for Deming came on a five-yard run late in the third quarter by Bobby Cobarrubia. The Cats found La Plata tough compe- tition and fell 6-36. The Cats then went on to take on Hot Springs and lost 14- 16. The Frosh took Snell on again and came out ahead 45-0. Bobby Cobarru- bia led the team with three touch- downs, while Mark Meyer had two, and Kelly Gannaway and Brent Jack- son each had one. In their second time to meet La Plata, the DHS team won 20-18. The last game of the season was against Alameda and DHS lost 22-0. Of the 3-4 record, tight end Brent Jack- son said, It was an overall good sea- son but wait till next year.

The girls took on Hot Springs here in Deming. The next match found the girls in Hatch; the Varsity won 15- 5, 15-2. The J.V. team also won but not by such a large margin; 15-10, 15-13. Both teams found victories at home games against Hatch and Silver City. The girls returned from the Mayfield tournament not quite as happy as they had hoped to be. They lost their second and third games and with them lost a seat in the tournament. Head coach Brenda Boone felt the girls started out just a little too slow but had hopes of their improving with each game. The Varsity team continued the good record, picking up wins against Tularosa, 15-5, 15-6; Ruidoso, 15-9, 15- 7; Cobra, 15-2, 15-1 and Silver City, 15- 5, 15-8. The J.V. team also continued winning with victories at Tularosa, Ruidoso, Cobre, and Silver City. The next match found the girls at Cobre with a win for the Junior Varsity team, 15-4, 15-4, but a loss for the Var- sity players 6-15, 12-15. At Ruidoso, Hot Springs and Tularosa both teams came up victorious, ending the season with the Varsity tied with Tularosa. This brought up the need for an extra game. The playoff game was in Las Cruces; the Deming Wildcats won both games; 15-7, 16-14. We showed how working together as a team can make a difference in a winning and a losing ball club, said Junior Anna Vira- montes. At the district tournament the Wild- cats won the first Match against Silver City; 15-5, 15-2. They fell to Tularosa, 15-7, 12-15, and 6-15 in the next match. Three Deming players made the all- tourney team; Annette Meyer, Carol Hooten and Glorianna Arzate. The State Tournament found the girls in Roswell. The first was against Los Lunas. The Wilcats came out on top, 15-13, 15-13. In the second game the girls were defeated by Portales, 14-16, 11-15. The consolation game played against Taos was very close. The ' Cats won the first one 15-8, but lost the sec- ond 15-7. The third and final game wasn ' t as close as the second. The Wildcats lost 10-15, ending with 4th place. It was a lot of hard work but having a winning season made it worthwhile, said Anne Knoop, which shows the girls ' spirits weren ' t damp- ened by the loss to Taos. 1.

I Se Micky Montvill, band teacher at Deming Junior High School, coached the varsity girl cagers this year to make it her second year in a row. The Cats started the season slow with some unfortunate losses but improved as time went on. The only three wins of the season were over Hatch 48-37, Ruidoso 43-40. and T or C 53-50. With only one senior, Becky Brown, the Cats were young and not as experi- enced as many of their opponents. The other eight members consisted of four juniors, three sophomores, and one freshman. Practice for the girl cagers began on Ocotber 26 and the season came to a close on February 26 when they were defeated by Tularosa in their first game of the District Tournament. The girls are eager for next year because they now have the experience that they lacked at the beginning of the year.

Willie Bean had a squad that turned in a 12-11 sea- son record, at times playing inspired ball, on other occasions failing to equal those performances. With only three seniors on the team at the end of the season, the team included five juniors and four sopho- mores and lacked the experience of Wildcat cage teams of previous years. In district the team was 7-3. but fell to Tularosa in the district tournament and missed the usual trip to the state tournament. The cagers had a rough time in tour- naments during the year also, placing fourth in the Gallup Invitational Tour- ney, third in the district tournament, and falling to sixth in their own tourna- ment held for the first time in the tour- nament ' s history, before Christmas. Crowds at the Deming tourney were sparse. At the awards banquet at the Knights of Columbus Hall, George Cardona was recognized as the most valuable player, an All-District player and member of the South All-Star team; teammate Sal Uzueta was also named All-District player and made the All-Tournament teams in Gallup and at Deming. Though it was a lean year for the varsity, things are certain to be looking up. Dick Pool ' s junior varsity had a 13- 7 season as did the frosh team under Wildcat great Bill Allen. The records of the junior varsity and freshmen predict a bright future for DHS basketball. The 1980-81 boys ' varsity basketball players were: Armando Reyes, Eddie Parra, Silas Wil- son, Ernest Wilson, Mike Nunley. Sal Uzueta, Don Pethick, George Wertz. Billy Chaires, Gil- bert Clemente, Carl Haywood, George Cardona, and Kris Nabours. Kneeling are: Javier Ramos, Manager; Head Coach, William Bean; Assistant Coach, Dick Pool; and Managers Gary Hill and Tom Price. ?o iy I Deming — 70 Lordsburg — 58 Deming — 65 Mayfield — 95 Deming — 59 Artesia — 62 Deming — 83 N.

Pool predicted that many of his play- ers will contribute to varsity next year. With some -hard work, he said, many of the players could become very good high school basketball play- ers. This i; as far as attitude and ability the best team I have ever coached. High scorer for the year was Ernest Wilson with 302 points. Eddie Parra, who played one game less than Wilson, had the best average, 14.7 points per game. Leading rebounder was Wilson with 11.4 a game. Best field goal per- centage belonged to Billy Chaires shooting 43 per cent. The most recover- ies were made by Armando Reyes who had 36 per game. Parra was the floor leader. The JV ' s were district champs, losing their only district game to Cobre by one point. I 1.

Allen said he had no real outstand- ing player this year. They were a really blanced team. Mark Meyer was the lead scorer with 12 points per game and had 10 rebounds a game. Kelly Gannaway was best on defense. The best hustler of the season was Jimmy Herrera. And Brent Jackson had 9 rebounds per game. The team leader was John Creamer who also was the best shot of the sea- son. Brad Kaderly was the most improved player. Allen said he was very pleased with the team and that they worked very hard. He said they have a good future in basketball. They could be state champions if they stay together. The freshmen placed first at the dis- trict tournament. In the first round they beat Snell 66-50. In the final round they won over La Plata 59-53.

The team was plagued with much inexperience, ' and so the season was one of learning. The wrestlers did not attend the Carlsbad Invitational for the reason that they were hosting their own Dem- ing Invitational during the same week- end. The Wildcats finished in second place behind the Silver City Colts, but turned out two champions. They were Bobby Martinez, at 112 pounds, and Steve Rios who wrestled in the 126 pound category. At the district tourney in Cobre Sil- ver City topped the ' Cats once again but ten grapplers qualified to go to state. Bobby Martinez, Pat Maynes, and Johnny Reyes finished as district champions. Overall, the team place sec- ond with 141 ' 2 points. The state wrestling tourney was held in Bloomfield. Although ten wrestlers participated, no one was fortunate enough to place. The grapplers were under the coach- ing of Sim Willis and his volunteer assistant, Dave Beck. Mr. Willis took the job as head coach when Randy Speer moved to Las Cruces. Dave Beck, a retired wrestling coach of fourteen years from Ohio, stepped in to assist Mr. Willis. The JV wrestling team finished with a 2-3 record. They attended three invi- tationals, aside from their regular sea- son matches. The first one was the NMSVH take- down tourney in Alamogordo. Eight grapplers out of nine placed in the top four spots. At the Gadsden Invitia- tional, only three JV ' s placed. The last match was a scrimmage type of invitational in Silver. Twenty wres- tlers participated, and although no medals or awards were given, the tour- ney was held mostly to give the younger grapplers more experience. 1.

Sponsorless Matmaids support wrestlers Whenever there was a wrestling match going on. the matmaids were sure to be there helping out. They ran the matches on their own and dedi- cated plenty of time and work to sup- port the wrestlers in every way they could. Returning matmaids were Alice Viramontes, Missy Marquez, Patty Cortez, and Gloriana Arzate. The new matmaids were Sandra Almanza, Tani Coussons, and Teresa Gifford. Their jobs included keeping score, running the clocks, and keeping statis- tics. They also wrote press releasers and made posters for the wrestlers. They did not have a sponsor, so it was difficult for them to do anything. They had to decide everything on their own. They traveled with the wrestlers most of the time. il V:± r ► ' stsnir4G rouRNA I. Matmaids Patty Cortez and Gloriana Arzate keep score during the Deming Invitational. 2.

The first home stand when the Wildcats split with Cathedral 5-8 and 3-2 opened the season of double headers. Against Silver, the Wildcats won 7-2 and lost 14-1. After that they swept past Silver 28-10; 15-5. When the Wildcats met Tularosa they won the first 18-4 and the second game on the ten-run rule 13-3. After defeating Cobre 8- 0; 14-5, DHS baseball players beat Hot Springs 13-6: 8-3. The first district game was played against Tularosa and the ' Cats lost 6-5. Then the Wildcats turned around and defeated them 8-3. The Wildcats won the next two games against Hot Springs 21- 3: 7-6 and Cobre 8-3; 8-3. The last game of the season Deming split with Silver 6-5; 7-3, ending their season with an 18-4 record. Despite the high number of rookies and lack of varsity experience, the Wildcats still proved to be the number one team in their district. Head Coach Carlos Viramontes managed his players well and as a result they returned to state in Roswell to defend their title. In the first round of play, the ' Cats fell to Portales. It was because of errors and lack of experience that the ' Cats ' were beaten 6- 4. Although they returned from state with- out a victory, they definitely gained some experience needed for next year ' s season. Salvador Gutierrez was named most val- uable player after making all-district team, all-tournament team, all-state team and breaking 8 high school records, one of which was the batting average record. Guti- errez ' s average was .686. Gilbert Holguin, David Edwards, and Lou Krejci also made the all-district team. n ' --tir— ' t ' ' ' ' ' ' ' it Vi m I ■ 111--- 4 WW 1.

Herrera, Klement, Ortiz qualify for state meet A year after Deming won the State Championship in the AAA division, only two golfers qualified for the State Golf Tourney. Deming also sent one girl to state to play in the girls division. The trio that qualified for state were Debbie Klement, Mike Herrera, and James Ortiz. The state championship tourney was held in Albuquerque at two locations, Los Altos and Ladera, where Debbie placed fourth out of 47 girls; Mike placed fifth and James placed seventh out of 33 boys. Both Debbie and Mike made the All-Slate team. The season started off well for the DHS golfers. At the Socorro Invitational, they finished third which was relatively good due to the inexperience of the team which consisted of two seniors, a junior, a sopho- more, a freshman, and two eighth graders. Next the Cats placed fifth at their own invi- tational, but received a disappointing elev- enth place at the Dona Ana Classic Tour- ney. The golfers then placed seventh at the Gadsden Invite and sixth at Hot Springs. Only at the Ruidoso Invitational and the Mayfield Invitational did DHS compete in the AAA division. At other tournaments competition was mixed. At Ruidoso, the Cats took fourth and at Mayfield, second. The Cats pressed on toward the end of their season, taking second at the Silver-Cobre Invitational and fifth at the Las Cruces Invite. In the district tourney, Deming placed second. Medalist in the district was DHS ' s Mike Herrera. Mike and James Ortiz were the only golfers from DHS to make the All- District team. As their season came to an end, the Wild- cat golf team had chalked up three second places, one third, a fourth, two fifth-place titles, a sixth, a seventh, and an eleventh place. Coach Klement said, In spite of the inadequate experience of the team, they did an excellent job. I was proud of all of them. 1.

There were 14 girls on the squad, six with varsity posi- tions and eight on the junior varsity. The hour-and-a-half practice sessions each school da , coupled with the expe- rience of the girls on the squad, helped to give them their undefeated season. Mary Graves was the top singles player, and the top doubles team was made up of Charlene Bowman and Linda Cole who ordinarily defeated their opponents during the year. Deming tied with Silver for 1st in district. Top girls ' doubles team of Bowman and Cole was upset by Silver ' s number two team in the semi-finals and were eliminated from the state tourney. Graves won first in district singles and went on to state to place fourth. At an end-of-the-year banquet at K- Bobs, the Optimist Club, represented by Tony Sayre, awarded Bowman a trophy for being the most valuable player and Cole was named most improved player. Coach Pool said, The team was very young and with a lot of work could develop into a very strong team for the next few years. They also were a pleas- ure to work with. Wf i , 1.

Eighth grader Tony Cle- mente held the fourth position while Juniors James Benzie and Cliff Heller held positions five and six. In district play the Wildcats came out on top. In boys ' singles, Leupold defeated three opponents to capture the district title. In boys ' doubles, Speer and Chaires also took the champion- ship. All three boys then traveled to Albuquerque to compete in the State tournament. At State play in singles competition, Leupold defeated Mark Salazar of Raton in the quarter finals, but lost in the semi-finals to Ben Sparkman of NMMI. He lost to Garon Fulgenzie of Las Vegas Robertson to place fourth in the state.

The ui new uniforms give us a brighter look and they ' re something different for a change, said band student Gina McAskill. The uniforms were sewn by mothers of some of the band students. The marching band, which per- formed during half-time at all home football games, was made up of two bands, the symphonic and concert band. The jazz band, and the pep band, which played at all home varsity bas- ketball games, were two bands made up of members from the symphonic band. The marching band spent two hours every Tuesday and Thursday evening during football season to prepare for the half-time performances and the Parade of Champions in Las Cruces. The band showed off their new uni- forms for the first time at the Parade of Champions. The new uniforms still didn ' t keep the band from losing to Morenci, Arizona for the second year in a row by five points, 70-75. Becky Brown was chosen as the Band Sweetheart by the band mem- bers. She was crowned by vice-presi- dent Victor Valenzuela, and given the traditional kiss by trumpet player, Billy Chaires, at the last home football game. A banquet and dance was given in her honor. ■• ' ' fa JiS - ' -T--- ' i= . ' I . DHS marching band poses for their pic- tures on the football field. 2.

Deming Chorale receives II rating at contest The chorus program increased in junior high and high school. The high school has increased 20%. and the jun- ior high enrollment grew from 1 1 to 38 students. The Chorale ' s mam goal was to raise enough money to send them to Durango. Colorado, to the Fine Arts Festival. The school board paid the transportation cost which was more than $2000. The fund raisers paid for the hotel rooms and entrance fee. How did they raise the money? The first fund raiser was an all-day car wash, which brought in a profit of $136. The ne.xt was the Christmas-time sale of Santa Grams, candy canes with notes attached. Another fund raiser held was the concession stand at the Deming-Cobre basketball game on January 23. They also sold raffle tickets for an AM-FM 8-track stereo, which was raffled at the chorus Dessert con- cert. Mrs. Randy McCutchen was the winner of the stereo. The raffle and Dessert Concert brought in $1000. There were so many desserts that it was 1. Doris McConathy holds the raffle box as Ed Foley draws the winning ticket for the am-fm 8 track stereo. 2.

HOSA was celebrating it ' s tenth anniversary as an organization, and local members worked hard all year in order to raise money to attend the State meeting and the National convention, both of which were held in Albuquer- que. Jesus Monies was the lucky winner of the stereo that HOSA raffled off early in the year. A blood pressure clinic was held for the small fee of 25 cents per person, and was to continue on the third Monday of each month. The annual blood drive brought in about 94 pints. United Blood Service people of El Paso, Texas, conducted the blood drive and were assisted by varius HOE and HCO Members. Aside from the clinics and stereo raf- fle, HOSA members also tended the concession stands for girl ' s basketball games and wrestling matches. HOSA entered a float in the Wildcat Homecoming parade and several of the members attended the Student Council parliamentary procedure workshop. HOSA members gained experience by working at Mimbres Memorial Hos- pital, the Deming Animal Clinic, and at the dentist ' s office. Local HOSA presi- dent, Elizabeth Goodyear said, HOSA has a good group of people. The class helps you to decide if you would like a further education in nurs- ing. I like being president because I get to help in making major decisions. At the State meeting HOSA mem- bers participated in a parliamentary procedure workshop, one on New Mexico Health Coalition based upon the skin cancer project, one on New Mexico Education, and another deal- ing with the student trainer. Melodye Hennings competed in job application competition; Judi Ruebush competed in medical terminology; Mary King, Judi Ruebush, and Karen HoUings- worth placed 2nd in chapter display; and Belinda Walker Oates ' poster placed 3rd in competition. Members were entertained by a HOSA dance, a talent show, a fiesta, a ventriloquist, and also attended a banquet. HOSA officers were president, Eliza- beth Goodyear; vice-president; Vero- nica Clark; corresponding secretary. Donna Weippert, parliamentarian, Belinda Walker Oates; chaplain, Patty Luera; merit keeper, Marie Williams; historian, Karen Hollingsworth; senti- nel, Lynn Howell; reporter, Melodye Hennings; student council representa- tive, Judi Ruebush; treasurer, Tish Robbins; and HOSA sponsor, Mrs. Mary Anderson. 1 .

Out of the 32 members that joined, only seven remained throughout the year. All seven members were from last year ' s Spanish club. The Spanish Club is a club in which both English and Spanish languages and traditions are carried on by the members. The club earned enough money for the $150 scholarship by operating the concession stand during basketball games, bake sales in Colum- bus, a tamale bake sale at school and selling DHS pennants to students. Activities of the club included a float in the Lordsburg Centennial parade and Christmas caroling. A banquet was held at the end of the year and awards were given to officers and members. The officers of the Spanish Club were president, Bill Burt; secretary, Adelina Flors; and treasurer, Yvonne Flores. Members included Lupe Cas- tillo, Laura Torres, Francisca Flores and Lola Dominquez.

The interest has also grown: we have increased membership from 6 to 14 players, said Mrs. McCiung. The Chess Club met everday at noon in Mrs. McClung ' s room to work on their moves and practice playing against each other. They also practiced on Tuesday and Thursday nights at the Public Library. In the Deming Invitational, Deming placed 5th, and in the Las Cruces tour- nament they placed 4th. Deming came in 3rd in the Hatch tournament, and in District, held in Las Cruces, Deming placed 3rd. The players for district were Mark Harrison, 1st board; Craig Harrison, 2nd board; Eddie McClung, 3rd board; Billy Boomhower, 4th board; Derrick Miller, 5th board; and Joe Martinez, 6th board. Deming hosted the State tourna- ment, but did not participate. They served supper for the teams the night before the tournament and the day of the tournament they provided refresh- ments. All of the players worked very hard for a successful year, said Craig Harri- son. We would like to thank the Chess Club sponsors, Albert Holguin and Edna McClung, for their time and effort they put in, club officers said. The ' 80- ' 81 Chess Club officers were Craig Harrison, president; Edide McClung, vice-president; Allan Poor, secretary; and Billy Boomhower, trea- surer. 1.

' -S t . mr 133 1 5 staffers produce 264 page annual The ' 81 Wildcat was different from other years because a editor was not chosen. The first job assigned was that of business manager given to Ronda Petree. Johanna Wagelaar became ad manager, and Susan Perales, Alice Viramontes and Jeff Covington were picked as photo editors and assigned the opening section and division pages. All members of the Wildcat Staff sold calendars to help raise money for the annual. Top seller was Johanna Wagelaar who sold 27. After the calen- dars were sold, Wildcat staffers worked to sell annuals to students. Don Cam- eron and 5 students from his class won free annuals for being the top percent- age class buying annuals. Free pictures were won by Maria Arrieta and Arnold Perez in the sales promotion. Taylor Pubhshing Co., publisher of the Wild- cat, scheduled a late spring drawing for 5 Mustangs. With all these induce- ments only 584 annuals were sold to students and advertisers. Aside from class sections, all staffers had story deadlines they had to meet. Johanna Wagelaar planned all of the ad section, boys varsity basketball. Broadcaster, golf and Homecoming. Su sana Perales planned Honor Society, Drama Club, baseball and the prom. Alice Viramontes planned HOSA, FHA, wrestling and graduation. Mic- helle Valverde did guidance office, boys tennis and girls basketball. Susana Aguilar was in charge of bus drivers and cooks.

They are always looking to find interesting events and people to inform the students about. The editor and other staff members are in Room 22 early on Thursday and Fri- day mornings to prepare the paper for delivery during fifth hour on Friday afternoon. They also spent Thursday afternoons at the Deming Headlight where Sharon Wayne set the copy and headlines for the paper. The Broadcaster gave students a vanety to read about. A new article was Rick ' s Ratings which provided DHS student with the top ten singles and the number one albumn of the week. Approximately $3,200 was needed in order to produce 32 editions of the six- page paper. The Broadcaster was sold for a dime which provided only part of the mcome needed, so the 14-member staff once again sold programs at the football and basketball games. The advertisements in the programs helped finance the other expenses of the Broadcaster. Bound volumes of all the editions of the Broadcaster and the programs were soldat the end of the year. The year before a new way to bind the volumes was used. It made possible the binding of papers without punching holes in the Broadcasters and programs, which made them nicer. The staff continued to bind them this way and sold them for $5. The 1980-81 staff was made up of 14 students whose stories appeared in the weekly paper sold each Friday after- noon. The paper was edited by Jimmy Leupold, who had been on the staff 4 years, and had Elena Sanchez, who also has been on the staff 4 years, as business manager. Emma Cannizzo served as assignment editor. She was on the staff 2 years. Mike Lively, who served 3 years on the staff, was chosen as sports editor; and Raul Almeraz, Jennifer Luchsinger, John Wright, Ricky Dominguez, Jeff Honeycutt, Renee Allen, Bill Moore, Susie Garcia, Barbara Pena, and Dianne Kasparian served as other staff members. Sponsor of the Broadcaster was Ed Leupold, who was also sponsor of the Wildcat and teacher of photography and Enghsh IV. I 2 f 1 .

The cover of the 158 page book was red and blue with a picture of a futuristic Sunburst. The Sunburst sold for $5.00 until January 31 when the cost became $6.00. Twenty-nine DHS seniors spent second hour under the supervision of Mrs. Harvielee Moore working on the Sunburst. The Sunburst was edited by Emma Cannizzo and her assistant Susan Sayre. Art editor was Anna Ellrich and her assistant was Vin- cent Baeza. To help the four typists get the liter- ary magazine out on time, the Sunburst purchased a new self-correcting type- writer. The rest of the staff was made up of seven printers, five students in charge of correlation, and two in charge of the index. Students had to write a letter of appUcation to Mrs. Moore for the jobs they wanted. When choosing poems for the Sun- burst, only Mrs. Moore and editor Emma Cannizzo knew the authors. Each of the staff members judged the copy on how well it was written, what it had to say, and if it was valuable to the Sunburst. They voted either yes, no, or maybe. A yes was worth three points, and a maybe, which meant it had to be touched up, was worth one point. The top 33% of the writings summitted were in Sunburst. The main money-making event for the Sunburst was the senior-faculty basketball game, and at 50© a ticket, the Sunburst cleared $276.00. The fac- ulty won the game 37-29. Fifteen fac- ulty members participated, and Bill Allen was high scorer with 1 1 points. Twenty seniors participated with David Lara scoring eight points. 1.

It oper- ated under the leadership of President Ronnie Viramontes. Vice President Patty Cortez, and sponsors Don Cam- eron, and Mrs. Mar ' Lou Janecka. The Council spent most of its time and effortr sponsoring special activities which make school life more fun for many Wildcats. Projects of the year started with Homecoming and Wildcat Week with student activities including Hat and Button Day, ' 50 ' s day and sock hop. A main project was the annual Christmas Road Block to raise money for their state project at New Mexico Boys Ranch. They collected $93.10 from travelers at the Gage rest s top west of Deming after giving out free coffee and donuts to travelers. Another project was the March of Dimes which brought in 300 from their door-to-door campaign. Deming Student Council won the Sweepstakes award for the school divi- sion in the Centennial Parade. James Benzie accepted the trophy. Sarah Finke was in charge of the time capsule put together as a Centennial project. The Council ' s only fund raising was the operation of the Hut. The winter food drive went poorly with very little participation in the high school, but with better participation in the elementary schools. A workshop on parliamentary procedure was for all Student Council, HOSA, and FHA members. Those attending reviewed how to run an organized meeting cor- rectly. One of their big events was State Convention which was held in Santa Rosa Feb. 12-14. First Vice-President Ronnie Viramontes was elected State President, a first for a DHS Student. Mark Harrison completed his term as Vice-President of the New Mexico Association of Student Councils. Dele- gates to state were Ronnie Viramontes, Patty Cortez, Dina Marquez, Teresa Gifford, Lisa Hooten, Pam Frosch, Craig Harrison, Steve Bean, Elena San- chez, Brent Hunt, Luis Campos, and Mark Harrison. Patty Cortez was elected the new vice-president of the S.W. District Association of Student Councils. 1.

Twenty-seven new members joined the chapter this year to maice a total of 85 members. The annual Greenhand Initiation Cere- mony was held October 20-24 during which Greenhands had to recite the entire FFA creed while sitting on a creed board, wear their clothes back- wards and inside out, eat jalapeiios, wear official dress, wear a diaper and have their hands painted green. For ini- tiation the officers held a Kangaroo Court in which Greenhands had to eat worms (spaghetti), sit on a block of ice and bob their heads in a tub of ice water for onions. During National FFA week the offi- cers put on a Food for America pro- gram for elementary school students. They went to Smith, Memorial, Bell and Chaparral Elementary Schools where they gave a 1-hour demonstra- tion on agriculture and brought ani- mals for the kids to see. The chapter holds a fruit sale every year to earn money to send members to judging contests. The sale was very suc- cessful with more than 1,000 boxes sold and a profit of $1,200. FFA Sweetheart candidates earned points by selling tickets to a raf- fle as well as selling fruit. The raffle was for a single-shot 22 rifle with the drawing held February 14. The rifle was won by Bruce Borden. Barbara Borden earned the most points and was crowned at the FFA sponsored Sweet- heart Dance. The Greenhand Parliamentary Pro- cedure Team competed January 21 in Hatch. The Deming team came home with a first place. Janelda Thompson and Gina Snow competed in the Creed Contest where they took 7th and 9th places. The Livestock Judging Team took a first place at the El Paso International Livestock Show. Roy Formwalt won top individual honors in the FFA com- petition. FFA Sponsor and Vocational Agri- culture teacher, Mike Ellis, called his students a hard-working group and the year a very successful one. He was especially proud of the judging teams who brought home top honors. 1. FFA President Barbara Remondini offers congratulations to Sweetheart Barbara Borden. 2.

Spanish kitchens brought in about $200, and instead of the annual enchilada supper, a chile supper was held. That event brought in $300. Another popular idea was the sale of miniature stuffed animals, such as dogs, bears, bunnies, and ducks. These, along with the sale of carnations for Valentine ' s Day. brought in about $500. In October, FHA members and advi- sors traveled to Cliff for the district H meeting. They listened to reports about the national convention, ideas for fund raisers, plans for State and also played games. An outdoor lunch and installa- tion of new district H officers closed the meeting. The State meeting was held in Albur- querque in mid-March. Both FHA advisors, Sandra Burk and Pat McGhee, along with Vangie Herrera, Irma Herrera, Gloria Padilla, Rosie Gonzalez, Angela Holguin, Cheryl Hays, Carola Hays, Bill Burt, Debra Saenz, and Liz Baeza attended State. FHA chapters from all over New Mexico set up booths on cake decorat- ing, rose making, movies on various subjects, and jazzercising to disco music. Many workshops on nutrition, healthy babies, teenage pregnancy, parenthood, photography, and sex roles in the classroom were open to all FHA ' ers to attend. They also attended a concert by the El Dorado Goldiggers and a hot air balloon lift-off in the parking lot at the convention hotel. The State convention was closed with an installation of new state offi- cers and an awards assembly. Senior Vangie Herrera was awarded an FHA scholarship worth $125 for two semes- ters. She was awarded the scholarship on the basis of her grades, financial need, and on an essay she wrote about herself. A change for FHA for the new year is that it will be incorporated as a class next year. This means that people wanting to be in FHA will have to take it as a regular class. Officers will be elected after workshops on job respon- sibilities and parliamentary procedure are held in order for all the members to become better aware of what FHA really is. Sandra Burk, in her 3rd year as head FHA sponsor, is really excited about the class. I ' m real anxious for FHA to be a class. I think we ' ll be better able to accomplish a whole lot more. During the class hour, members will discuss all future FHA plans, thus almost eliminating the necessity to hold meetings after school and at lunch. FHA officers were Vangie Herrera, president; Liz Baeza, secretary; Gloria Padilla, treasurer; Rosie Gonzales, his- torian; Angela Holguin, reporter; Irma Herrera, parliamentarian; and Hope Sanchez, vice-president of recreation. 1.

For the first half-time performance of the band, the flag girls wore the new uniforms they ordered over the sum- mer, and twirled new flags. The uni- forms were made of navy blue and red satin with red sequins. The girls liked the uniforms but found that most the flag girls from other bands had gone to a different style of uniform. The rifle uniforms were red and white satm, but were not used until the fourth half-time performance because of a delay in shipping. There were two rifle girls and eleven flag girls. Linda BaUinas was the rifle captain and Cari Harris was the flag captain. It was great and a lot of fun, said Patti Benzie of her first year as a flag girl. Any girl who had been in band for at least a year and who wanted to be a rifle girl had to attend a clmic held by the current rifle and flag girls. There they learned the various routines such as twirls, figure eights, and the jazz march. Then they tried out as band di rector Dick Valenzuela watched. Each of the rifle and flag girls received a trophy from Valenzuela for belonging to the best squad in the DHS band. They tied with the French Horn squad because of all their hard work and extra practices. t 1. The rifle and flag girls are: Lotta Ericsson. Debbie Padilla. Cari Harris. Lynanne Hobbie. Becky Russell.

Drama Musical Wildcat week Powderpuff Homecoming Fair Prom Graduation 151 Drama class present murder trial, comedy The thrilling Night of January 16th turned out to be one of the most successful plays the drama club has ever put together, said sponsors Harvielee Moore and Ruth Eaves. The drama members began planning Night of January 16th the second week of school. Ten weeks of rehearsal led to two successful performances when 950 people turned out to see the play. Since eighty peo- ple tried out for the play. Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Eaves chose two casts, one for Thurs- day and the other for Friday night. The play was a murder trial by Ayn Rand, in which Karen Andre was being accused of murdering her husband. District Attorney Flink. Defense Attorney Stevens and Karen Andre were portrayed by Scott Sasser, Lei- sha Lane and Jaime Phillips on Thursday night and on Friday night by Ron Donez. Wes Means and Susie Strand. Twelve peo- ple from the audience were selected to be the jury. On Thursday night the jury found Karen Andre not guilty and on Friday night she was found guilty. Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Eaves started a whole new class called Alternative English. The class consisted mainly of the drama club members. The classes were held during 6th hour in the auditorium and the all-pur- pose room. First semester the students helped pre- pare the Night of January 16th. After that they read and studied plays and learned to do pantomimes on stage. Second semester, the Alternative English class presented Stage Door, a comedy by Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman. Rehearsals took place during 6th hour only in order for the students not to have to stay after school. December was a busy month for the drama members as they prepared for the annual Christmas show. They acted out Miss Mary ' s Toy Shop. What will the Toys say? and The Grinch who stole Christmas. They also performed a dance routine to the song I ' m All Right by Kenny Loggins. choreographed by Richard Little, former DHS student. An additional storage room was added to the auditorium, in order for the drama club to store costumes, props and furniture. The annual banquet was held at Chef Daniel ' s Restaurant. Thirty-six Drama Club members lettered. Ron Donez was selected as the best actor, and Susie Strand was selected as the best actress. Louie Gar- cia was selected as the best supporting actor, while Michel Guthrie was selected as best supporting actress.

The cast and crew worked all during spring break learning their dances and building the set, sometimes as much as nine hours or more a day. The set showed Aunt Filer ' s ranch house, a cornfield, and her front yard. The back- ground was skyblue and when the first lights were upon it, it looked like the break- ing of dawn. The show lasted about 45 minutes and was performed on two nights. Lynanne Hobbie said, The play was very successful and even though it was a lot of hard work, we all had a lot of fun. 154 At IlIS! iiiitiao(j Ljnanot successlil aril wort 1.

Wildcat Week started on a Monday with hat and but- ton day. Many students wore crazy buttons, badges, and hats, as they roamed the school grounds. On Tuesday a 1950 ' s flashback was held. Students attended school dressed as in the ' 50 ' s, and a sockhop was held in the boys ' gym during sixth period. Many students attended the dance, but there was little participation in the dancing. Doris McConathy said, I think if the school is going to let us have Wildcat Week to represent our spirit, then we ought to show our spirit and have more participation in the activities. The rain may have dampened the annual bonfire but didn ' t dampen the Wildcat spirit because the Wildcats insisted on having the bonfire anyway on that wet Thursday night. Friday started off with a pep rally in the boys ' gym featuring the junior and senior Powder Puff teams. In the annual Powder Puff game the seniors once again beat the juniors 8-0. Seniors came out on top of the Rowdy-O games despite their loss to the overpowering freshmen in the Tug- O-War game. That afternoon the students had fun riding in the Wildcat parade to the Courthouse Park where the Wildcats held a final pep rally. That evening the Wildcats played the Clint, Texas Lions, losing the homecoming 28-6. The crowning of the cours took place during half time, and Wildcat Week ended with the Homecoming dance after the game. The crowning of the courts took place during half time, and Wilcats Week ended with the Homecoming dance after the game. J 1.

The $400 that was made was used by the Stu- dent Council to cover the expenses of the dance. The ENM Disco once again provided music entertainment and special lighting effects. A general feeling of Homecoming was expressed by Junior Isabel Contreas, I think we need more participation in the decoration committee: otherwise everything was good. The Freshmen won the wall decorating contest by effectively expressing the theme Shinin Star, with a spaceship carrying Charlie Wildcat approaching earth. The Juniors placed sec- ond with the Seniors third. By Monday all the decorations had been taken down and the students resumed their routine school work. 161 Judges choose Terri Marcak Fair Queen. The Southwestern New Mexico State Fair is always a highlight in Deming. The 1980 fair was held Oct. 2-5 with the traditional carnival, livestock and home economics exhibits. In a close race between nine girls Terri Marcak was chosen to reign as queen. Shelly Spruiell was awarded the title of 1st runner up and Barbara Remondini was second runner up. Mary Martinez was voted Miss Con- geniality by her fellow contestants. Tammy Hensz. Tani Coussons, Kathy Pinnt, Mary Saenz, and Connie Haynes were the other contestants.

With almost twice as many animals entered as in the past, 32 DHS students participated in the hvestock competi- tion. Because of the increase in agri- cultural knowledge of the future farm- ers of this area due mostly to the instruction of Mike Ellis, there was a noticeable difference in the quality of the show animals at this year ' s fair, said Jr. Dele Greeman. Mary Martinez raised the Grand Champion steer, and Kelly Gannaway raised the Reserve Champ. Bill Dines had the Grand Champion pig, and Matt Williams had the Reserve pig. Kevin Dines, sister of Bill Dines, exhibited the Grand Cham- pion lamb and Dianne Kasparian showed the Reserve lamb. The carnival was not as popular as in the past but many students enjoyed the lights, noise, and fast motion. The rodeo attracted two DHS stu- dents as entrants. Curtis Rodgers and Ray Trejo tried their luck and skill at bull riding. Their scores weren ' t win- ning scores, but both agreed that the experience was worth their time. i |. i|.ni| j .i.ijinin., ' -:iri ' in-r ' - ' - ' ™ 1% ,WRM. State F ' 162 THE OEC DE HE D 1.

Although it seemed like there wasn ' t going to be a Junior-Senior Prom, due to the lack of money, the junior class finally managed to raise enough to finance the Prom. Because of sparse crowds at football games, the regular money raiser, the foot- ball concession stand, brought in only $150 which meant that other fund raisers had to be held. The junior class decided on an enchilada supper, for which local mer- chants and juniors donated food and time. The supper turned out to be a success, said Mrs. Dorothy Frosch, one of the junior class sponsors. Other junior class sponsors were Mervyn Wertz, Miss Evelyn Carmack, Mrs. Becky Seybert, Guy Claypool, Albert Holguin, Dick Valenzuela, and John McCoilaum. Somewhere in a Misty Rain Forest was the theme of the prom, and decorations included a waterfall, forest scenes painted by Bill McKinley, Dina Marquez, and other juniors, and vines hanging from the ceiling. Refreshments of punch and cookies were served by sophomore girls. DHS students danced to the music of Conexion, a band from Las Cruces, which played all types of music. Memories of the prom will last the Jun- iors and Seniors a life time with pictures of couples taken by Bush Studio. 166 ' 1 ki H I w « Seniors dance to the prom music of Conexion. '  as I.

The speaker for this event was Mrs. Liza Gray who spoke to the seniors about caring. In her speech, Mrs. Gray noted that stu- dent apathy is an insiduous disease, and the cure and preventive for apathy is actively caring. The invocation was given by George Weippert and Gerald Matkin gave the ben- ediction. The seniors ' theme song was Let There Be Peace On Earth which they sang with the assistance of Ed Foley. The stage was decorated with bouquets of maroon gladiolas. The theme for the 1981 commencement was I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today! Graduation ceremonies began with the pro- cessional of seniors with the girls wearing maroon caps and gowns and the boys in blue caps and gowns. The Invocation was given by the Reverend Charles McCause of the First Assembly of God Church, and Student Council President Ronnie Vira- montes led in the Pledge of Allegiance. Sen- ior Class President Rey Canton gave the welcome and compared his classmates to fine wine that had begun as grapes beneath the feet of the upper classmen. He then introduced the commencement speaker, Mrs. Harvielee Moore. In her speech, Mrs. Moore wished every senior much success. Then she gave them her own personal formula for success which consisted of five qualities: integrity, indus- try, intelligence, knowledge, and courage. She stressed that these qualities must be taken care of even if they become worn and frayed. Polish them to sterling quality, for remember, no matter how you measure suc- cess — this one thing is always true — suc- cess is what you make it, and it ' s there wait- ing for you, said Mrs. Moore. She con- cluded her speech by saying that their metamorphosis was complete. Go now sweet birds of youth, she said, fly now to your destinies, high, sweet and proud. After performances by the DHS Wildcat Band and Chorus and the presentation of diplomas by Dr. Emmett Shockley and school board members, the graduating class of 1981 switched their tassels. They were no longer the seniors of DHS as they marched out to the music of Pomp and Circum- stance. Graduation ceremonies had been dedi- cated by Clarence Ramirez to retiring Librarian Lucy Ewan who was ill and could not attend. 1.

Mr. Torres is a maintenance foreman and Mr. Salcido is a detective: they joined a baker, a housewife and a water engineer. School board elections are held every two years and the mem- bers serve a six-year term. After the election the school board chose Rich- ard Uzueta, president; Marcia Cook, vice-president; and Lewis Putnam, sec- retary. At the Spring district school board meeting, Marcia Cook was elected dis- trict president and Lewis Putnam was elected state secretary. The first actions of the new board were to transfer DHS principal Clar- ence Ramirez who will be replaced by Abran L. Armendariz and to terminate Activities Director Tony Molinar who will be replaced by Carlos Viramontes. Among the school board ' s responsi- bilities is deciding how to spend the $8,935,200 budget. The budget was increased by 12% by the state legisla- ture. The school board has plans for reno- vation of the Junior High and paving the student parking lot. Vice-president Marcia Cook said. The new members are very dedicated and interested in only what is best for the kids. 1. Ruben S. Torres. Marcia Cook, Richard Uzueta, Richard G. Salcido and Lewis Putnam. 2.

This plethora of acti ities is probably the second most significant change in the year at Deming High School, and it too is not easily recognized since the buildup has occurred over a period of years, said Dr, Emmett Shockley. Superintendent of Dem- ing Public Schools. Commenting on the state of things at DHS, Dr. Shockley said. .Another year has rolled by and another excellent yearbook is going to press to provide students of Dem- ing High School with mementos of those carefree years at DHS. Seniors will treasure it especially, but underclassmen will want to keep theirs as well, just to see what they looked like if for nothing else. The 1981 Wildcat is being published in a time of great upheaval in the public schools, and the record of events depicted 1. DHS Chorale president Jimmy Leupold and treasurer Doris McConathy sell the first two tick- ets to the Chorale ' s Dessert Supper to Superin- tendent Emmett Shocklev. in this issue may have a historical signifi- cance in the years to come. But despite the significant changes taking place in Deming High School, much of it remains still the same as when earlier graduates went through the mill. VV ' hat it all adds up to is that getting a good high school education is still the best bargain lying around loose these days, and the parents of this community have attempted to make this especially true at Deming High School. The administrative branch of this opera- tion wishes Godspeed to its graduating sen- iors and encourages those still in the ranks to pursue that elusive first goal before going on to greater things in the world ahead. Dr. Shockley ' s career in education began in 1949 when he was a reporter for the Lub- bock Avalanche-Journal. From 1952-56, he was a teacher in Truth or Consequences. He was also Principal and Assistant Superin- tendent for Clovis schools from 1956-62. In 1964. he was Superintendent for Estantia Schools. He holds a BJ uhich he received from the University of .Missouri in 1949 and a MA from NMSU in 1956. In 1966 he received a PhD from L ' N.M.

During his 5 years as principal of Deming High, Ramirez has noticed no change in the students except for their being more mature. In 1980-81 a new policy was put into effect to deter DHS students from fre- quent truancy. The policy requires all students to enroll in six classes unless they have a job. When asked if he thought this new policy was very suc- cessful, Ramirez simply replied, Yes. The main duty of principal is to supervise all functions of the school. Ramirez, besides being principal, served as assistant principal for five years and was a teacher for ten years. The ' 80- ' 81 school year was the final year for Clarence Ramirez at DHS. Next year he will be the principal at Martin Elementary School. Betty Peters has worked for the Deming Public Schools System for 18 years and 12 of those have been at DHS. Mrs. Peters was secretary to Clarence Ramirez and also to Hector Madrid in the absence of Mrs. Valen- zuela. ;]ipnnc -lilC jiiavci liJ esia 1.

Mr. Madrid thought that 1980-81 was a very good year because he felt he had established a good working rela- tionship with the student body. He said the student body has an understanding as to where he stands in the area of dis- cipline. Working with the students is what Hector Madrid enjoys most about his job. He enjoyed the year thor- oughly. Secretary for Mr. Madrid was Mrs. Stella Valenzuela who has worked for the school system for 12 years and at DHS for 3.

The guidance program at DHS involved many students and a number of projects. It was the first year for any guidance program to be considered to be certif- ied in the state of New Mexico. Deserv- ing credit are the three counselors Manuel Teran. John Krause, Mary Helen Chavez and Secretary Betty Pryor. As director of guidance, Manuel Teran provided the students with information about credits, college pre- tests, career plans, and also counseled students whose last names ended with A to K. Mr. Teran has been a counse- lor for nine years and has headed the program for six years. John Krause, in his 5th year of coun- seling at DHS mainly worked with stu- dents whose last names ended with L to Z. In addition, he organized the newly formed Explorers groups, headed the selection of students that would attend Boys ' State, and selected the seniors that would attend the Rotary lunch- eons. He also helped students with social, personal, occupational, and edu- cational needs. In her first year as counselor at DHS, Mary Helen Chavez not only worked in the guidance office in the afternoon, but also taught during the morning. She was the head of the resource room. planned the selection of the girls to attend Girls ' Stale, and organized the selection of Who ' s Who Among High School Students in America. She also gave a variety of tests throughout the year. As secretary for the counselors, Betty Pryor ' s job changed from day to day. Her jobs included averaging grades, registering new students, assigning lockers, finalizing student academic records, and supervising the guidance assistants. She has been the registrar- secretary for 13 years. 1. Manuel Teran, head of the guidance office, is busy at work. 2. John Krause works on schedule changes for students. 3.

These are: supervision, school district representative, and duties pertaining to athletic events. He supervises the athletic programs in consolation with the principal and superintendent; recommends coaching personnel and evaluates their perform- ances; he acts as a consultant to the administration and coaching personnel on matters pertaining to the athletic program. He holds meetings with coaches when necessary and keeps them informed in all matters pertaining to the athletic program and is responsi- ble as well for all athletic facilities; schedules practice use; supervision and coordination of budgets for all sports and recommends maintenance and repairs for athletics facilities. As district representative for the school, the Activities Director is th e official school voter and schedules all inter-school athletic events and repre- sents the school in all athletic business at District and State meetings. He enforces and interprets all ath- letic regulations as specified by the New Mexico Activities Association and the 3AAA District of which we are a part. The preparation and implemen- tation of bus transportation schedules as well as leased van schedules for all athletic trips takes quite a bit of his time. He makes up the district pass list and issues complimentary passes in conjunction with the principal and acts as Tournament Director for the Dem- ing Invitational Tournament as well as for any other District and Regional playoffs assigned to Deming. Other than the above the AD releases press and radio publicity on coming events, in athletics and other special activities, coordinates pre-game and half-time programs, determines the need and establishes a schedule of spe- cific assignments an d reporting times for all personnel involved with duties pertaining to the activity. Mr. Molinar is aided by Mrs. Emelda Baca, who handles all the money. She sends bills in to be paid from the budget, does bookkeeping, orders supplies for activities, and does secretarial work for Mr. Molinar like typing up the schedule. 1.

Mrs. Lela Samples has been a part of DHS for the last 8 years and a member of the nursing career for 34 years. Mrs. Samples hoped to organize a weight program called TOPS, but despite all her effort with announce- ments and posters, she still had little response, so the program had to be canceled. % 1 .

For the past years there have been only four grill workers, but in the spring of the year the grill hired a new worker. Pauline Grelle. Mrs. Grelle joined Pearlie Collins, manager, Jamalee Kimler, Eugenia Lucero, and Rosa Tinney in preparing the lunches. Each worker arrives at 7:30 in the morning and leaves at 2:30, except for Mrs. Col- lins who arrives at 7:00. The workers prepare more than 300 lunches everyday. They make 35 to 40 pounds of fries a day and try to prepare enough food so that everybody has the same choice. It isn ' t always possible for the students to have the same choice because the number of students who eat at the grill varies from day to day. Students can purchase their choice of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, burritos, and other goodies, plus French fries, a milk shake or milk, for only 75C. The most popular food is the cheeseburger. The workers enjoy preparing lunch for the Wildcats, but what they really like about their job is the contact with the students. I J t l l irfl I.

The School Board purchased five new 65-passenger school buses before the school year began. Ross May, bus contractor, took over Eddie Marcak ' s busses when Marcak, who had operated busses for 21 years, resigned as school bus contractor. The busses travel a little more than 1,900 miles a day and 343,080 miles during the year, transporting about 970 stu- dents a day. A number of local bus drivers attended the New Mexico Bus Drivers Institute in Silver City before the school year began. Their busses are inspected twice a year, before the school year begins and about in the middle of the school year, to check if everything is working prop- erly.

Jerry Gardner, 3. Joe Chavez. 4. Socorro Beltran, 5. Lee Hol- guin. It might be hard to imagine what DHS might look like without the work of the custodians. Suppose no one swept the halls or class rooms, emptied the waste baskets or came when emergencies arose such as clogged toilets or someone getting sick in a room. Custodians are often called over the PA system to handle such situations. But people probably see the custo- dian as a person with one job — clean- ing — but there ' s more to their job than that. They do plumbing work and elec- trical repairs, are called upon as paint- ers and are available for other chores. Lee Holguin, who was previously employed with the highway depart- ment before joining the staff at DHS, was tlie one successful candidate for the custodian job out of 100 applicants. He replaced Joe Chavez who was transferred to Smith School. When more time was required to do electrical repairs or plumbing work, the DHS custodians called in workers from the maintenance office. %. its m l k Rex Acker Angel Chavez Cruz Chavez Manuel Chavez Benny Herrera Bob Keehng Julian Vega Joseph Willey Angel Zuniga Q 198 ih) DHS requires work of 37 Assistants There were several new faces at DHS. The library had a new face, that of Mrs. Dean Coffman, who took over for Mrs. Lucy Ewan due to her illness. Mrs. Coffman supervised the assistants whose duties included shelving books, stamping books and keeping the library in order.

One of these years. The Wildcat is going to shatter tradition and put the pages on which advertisements appear in the front of the book. Sometimes we think that ' s where they should be. as important as adver- tisers are to the publication of the year- book at Deming High School. Maybe such a deviation from the normal way of things will have to wait till 1984 when we expect Big Brother to be watching over the publication of The Wildcat. Whether the advertising section of the Wildcat ever is moved up front or not. the Wildcat staff would like to thank the participating merchants who give their support year after year and help to make the annual possible. We take our hats off to you. 205 |iaiuimiiiii|nii«i ' Hii wi«i ' niiiiniiiiiiinHi iiiiini itnfHw« ' umw wwiviwnyftii« Where will it all lead ? The answer doesn ' t have to be bleak.

I Mrs. Liza Gray — Baccalaureate Address Class of 1981. thank you for asking me to be here this evening. 1 hke to believe that you did so because you care. .And that ' s what I ' m here to talk to you about today . . . caring. I ' m going to begin by telling you a little story. It ' s a true story — Once upon a time, there was a nice little high school where the administration felt that some- thing was just not going quiie nght. So the princi- pal asked the teachers to let him know how many failures they had on their records for a recent grading period. The teachers turned in their counts and when thes were compiled, the result was staggering: there had been more failures than there were students in the school! Of course, this discrepancy in numbers was accounted for by a number of students who had failed in more than one class. But. it still boiled down to the fact that too many students were doing poorly. So, the teachers were asked for their opinions as to «7iv so many students failed during that time, and the response pointed overwhelmingly toward one main cause: the insidious disease called apathy, Yes, it is a disease. Its onset is charactenzed by a loss of interest in succeeding, and the disease spreads until the infected individual just doesn ' t care about anything! Webster ' s defines apathy as: a lack of feel- ing or emotion; a lack of interest or concern; indifference. Now, how do we usually say that we ' re indifferent? We usually say, I don ' t care. DOS ' T CARE . . . those three short words say a shocking thing: they can be trans- lated into I am emotionally dead! To me, that ' s what apathy is , , , a difference in a deadness of spirit and being a ve. There is a cure for this disease, and in fact, many of you have only a light case (it ' s called Senioritis ), and some of you have escaped it altogether. The cure — for apathy is actively car- ing. First, you need to have an abiding faith in and love for God and Jesus Christ, our Savior; sec- ond, you must care about those people around you; third, you should believe in and support the magnificent country in which we live; finally, you rt usi believe in and care about your own abilities and your life. Many people, both young and old, have grown away from canng about God, possibly because they wonder how He could allow the world to become such a mess! But God cares about us . . . more than we could ever possibly imagine! The ultimate expression of caring can be found in the book of John in the Bible: . . . God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. Think of it ... He gave his only Son ... to be crucified ... for us! And Jesus knew that He was going to be ridiculed and betrayed, and tortured, and put to a cruel death ... but He gave up His life ... for us! Now if that ' s not caring, I surely don ' t know what is! I ' m not saying that you have to martyr yourself to prevent apathy. All that God asks of us is that we believe in Him and in Christ — and do unto others as we would have them do unto us. In daily life, not everything is going to go your way. In fact, your way may not be best for you, anyhow! But if you will care for others and their opinions and feelings, life can be very rewarding. People aren ' t always easy to like; sometimes it is verf difficult to care about others, but the person who cares about other people gains infinitely more than those he or she cares about. A good fnend of mine gave me a plaque for my birthday a few years ago, and the verse on this plaque expresses the rewards of caring rather well. The verse is entitled Flowers Leave Their Fragrance on the Hand that Bestows Them. There ' s an old Chinese proverb that, if prac- ticed each day. Would change the whole world in a wonderful way — Its truth is so simple, us so easy to do. And it works every time, and successfully, too . . ., For you can ' t do a kindness without a reward. Not in silver nor gold but in joy from the Lord — You can ' t light a candle to show others the way Without feeling the warmth of that bright little ray And you can ' t pluck a rose, all fragrant with dew. Without part of its fragrance remaining with you. I don ' t know who the poet is but I do know that he or she is a caring person. The world may seem overwhelming just now. Just keep in mind that, despite the gloomy news and frightening occurences in today ' s world, we live in the free - est and most dynamic nation in the world. The American dream of success and happiness is still an attainable goal for every one of you. You ' re going to be heading in many directions in your lives following graduation next Friday . . . some of you will leave Deming for school or work; some of you will remain here. Just make sure that what you decide to do with your life is what you truly care to do. For example, after having been out of school for several years, I found that one of the things in life that I enjoy most is working with young peo- ple. So, I became a teacher. There have been very few times — and those were bnef — that I ' ve regretted my decision. I ' ve been disappointed in teaching, but never discouraged. Outweighing the disappointments a milhon-fold have been the times that I was amused and exhilarated by your sense of humor and sens of life; I ' ve been touched by your thoughtfulness and friendship; I ' ve been impressed by your abilities and poten- tial, and your successes. For these times, I thank you! You ' re going to find trials and tribulations out- side these walls, but if you conquer apathy and prevent its spread, you can pass through those trying times much more easily, for which you should be thankful. Thankfulness is an integral part of a rewarding life. When I was small, my mom taught me a little prayer that expresses a joy that I still appreciate. I ' d like for you to bow your heads and join me in this prayer: Father, we thank Thee for the night And for the pleasant morning light: For rest and food, and loving care. And all that makes the world so fair. Amen. Thank you for caring . . . may God bless each and every one of you. Mrs. Harvielee Moore — Commencement Address The Time Is Now Tonight you reach a milestone in your lives — your graduation from high school — a time of memory and mixed emotions — a time that is filled with promise of the great things yet to be. During the last 4 years I have watched you grow — I have witnessed a marvelous metamor- phosis — as you changed from that confused, bewildered freshman who wanted to know as late as December which way led to the boys ' gym; to that somewhat wiser, yet still foolish sophomore; to the hard-working, industrious junior, until finally the cocoon was nearly shed and. at last, you were a senior! And such fine seniors you are! Why you man- aged to hold off that dreaded culprit known as senioritis, until the end of February! Quickly these years have flown, and tonight you sit in anticipation — on the brink of hfe and discovery, ready now to shed the cocoon and make the change complete. Graduation is an ending, but it is also a glad time of life — a time when we say farewell to fellow students and faculty and look ahead to new friends and acquaintances, keeping always a memory of this time. Graduation is a time of laughter and tears, praise and witticism, discus- sions and reflections. It is a day during which you are serious, but you are lighthearted also; you are enthusiastic and at the same time apprehensive; you are ready; yet not ready. Graduation is leaving behind the familiar, well-traveled ways of YESTERDAY and setting out TODAY on new, unexplored roads, knowing that you are equipped to meet the advent of TOMORROW. Graduation is a proud and won- derful time of life, a happy and unforgettable event, wrapped in contentment, satisfaction and high hopes for the future. Because this class — all of you, and especially one of you — are so special to me in so many ways, I thought a long time about what I would wish most for you tonight; and it is only after careful deliberation that I decided upon SUC- CESS — and it is this that I wish for you. There are many definitions of success. To some people success may be fame and wealth; while to others, it is happiness and the blessing of good health. J o some success may be measured in possessions gained and won; to others, it may be a life that ' s filled with worthwhile things they have done. Of course, there are no magic formulas for per- sonal success, but throughout my lifetime, my mother and my father have instilled 5 major 251 qualiiies for personal success in me; an d though I do not always achieve them, I continue to stnve for thtm. I would like to share them with you now . . . First and foremost of these qualities is INTEGRITY. Integrity is defined as uprightness of character, honesty. Although you may seem to succeed without this vital quality, in the end, without it, you will ultimately fail. Integrity is honesty to others and to oneself — as you climb the ladder toward successful completion of your goals, be careful that you do not step on others. There is room on the ladder for everyone Make integrity your byword: live with it. William Shakespeare said it this way: To thine own self be true, and it shall follow as the night the day. thou can ' st not then be false to any man. As the years pass, think about this — and you will come to understand it even better perhaps than you do now. The second tool for personal success is INDUSTRY, or hard work Be diligent — pursue perfection in your own way and to the best of your ability — throw laziness aside and be will- ing to work for what you want. Third on the list is INTELLIGENCE — use your natural intelligence wisely; do not stagnate. Create sound mental habits which will keep you learning and growing. Don ' t be afraid to exercise your brain and to think for yourself. With these three in your grasp. KNOWL- EDGE follows as number four. A person who becomes successful is always learning. He does not consider his education complete merely because he has received a diploma. He continues to set goals for himself and to work toward accomplishing them. The learning process will continue throughout your lifetimes — for Life is the ultimate teacher. As Ralph Waldo Emerson, the famous Amencan essayist, said. The activity of today is the assur- ance of tomorrow. Do more than love today. Seniors, as your motto stales, but make the most of It also — and then truly you need not fear tomorrow. The fifth and last quality for success is COUR- AGE — the type of courage needed for success is the type which means taking responsibility and sticking to your convictions; it is the type which enables us to fight on under discouragement; it is the type which can admit a mistake and then set about to correct it — the COUR. GE of success IS the courage that reflects Integrity, Industry, Intelligence, and Knowledge. With these five qualities in your grasp, working toward success becomes a matter of routine. Yes. success IS many things — it can be taking a moment to say you ' re sorry, a trip to the moon or an orbit around the sun, or sharing a moment with a friend, or it can be a high school diploma. I rather prefer Benjamm Disraeli ' s definition of success. He once told Queen Victoria, Suc- cess is not measured by heights attained, but by obstacles overcome. The roads you travel to your futures will not always be all that you hope for — Some will con- tain obstacles, some more than others. Through the years the tools you have — INTEGRITY, INDUSTRY, INTELLIGENCE. KNOWL- EDGE AND COURAGE — may become worn and frayed. You must take good care of them — keep them in top shape at all times. Polish them to sterling quality, for remember, no matter how you measure success — this one thing is always true — success is what YOU make it, and it ' s waiting there for youl Yes, tonight you are ready — to move on with your lives — to proudly as you move along, for you have earned it. Feel young and strong, and free. Lift your heads and smile: be glad, not sad — for always, my young fnends, in life it is true: The best is yet to bel I wish you happiness, love, laughter, and cheer. I wish you good luck and good health every day of each new year. 1 wish you dreams that come true because you make them . . . above aU I wish you SUCCESS m whatever you do! Life is once — it is NOW. Mold it carefully : temper it with only the finest, so that as the days ahead unfold, each one will bnng your way ful- fillment of the promise of this, your graduation day. Yes. you have seen yesterday and you DO love today — you need not fear tomorrow. The metamorphosis is complete; go now. sweet birds of youth, fly to your destinies, high, secure, and proud.

Well, for one thing, it was different. All of them are. And in some ways, it was the same. All of them are. No one could have imagined that the football team would go through the entire season without a victory. The Cobre game ' s last few seconds spelled doom for the team and a winless season. Deming ' s only state champs was the 400 meter relay team of Sheldon, Marshall. Wilson and Cardona w ith a time of 44.35. Deming High began the year with a new track, an addition to the auditorium going up and new air conditioners in the new building. And the Student Council hut opened as usual, but had some rough times with health authorities and vandals and at the end of the year had asked the school board for a grant of $5800 to run the activities of the council in the new year. It was a year of exchange students with Lotta Ericsson and Ann Ljung sitting in DHS classes, and Debbie Gifford and Carmen Vargas learning the ways of Brazilians and Japanese. It was the year of Computer Math and Alter- native English with math students in Room 57 mornings before school, and drama students put on two plays. Spring registration saw students fill up the drama class which had been removed from the English department and no longer pro- vided English credits. A scaled-down version of Oklahoma was pre- sented under the direction of Neva Lane and Sally Margrave, but the entire performance lasted slightly over half an hour, so it didn ' t pay to be late. A cChange in the Honor Society tapping had the names of new members announced over the public address system and then induction was held at 5:30 in the auditorium because of the press of other activities scheduled for the audito- rium. In a survey conducted by the front office it was found that there were more failures for the fifth SIX weeks than there were students. Teachers blamed apathy. Reslrooms went through periods of being pad- locked and then unlocked because of vandalism. The Band was all ready lo go to a music festi- val in Carlsbad, but didn ' t make the necessary ratings and stayed home instead. There were plenty of candidates for queen of the SWNM Fair, but many uncontested races for positions as student council and class officers for the spring election. For the first time the boys ' basketball games of the varsity had games of the girls ' varsity precede them instead of the regular junior varsity boys ' games. Basketball began on Saturdays sometimes at 2 p.m. Annual sales were down from what they had been the year before, but the Sunburst had the 1981 edition ready in plenty of time for seniors to pick up their copies. Some parents expressed their concern that there might not be a Junior-Senior Prom, but a handful of juniors held an enchilada supper to raise funds to pay for decorations and the band, and the prom was held after all. Football conces- sion stands just didn ' t bring in the money. Attendance at the prom was down. No one would have predicted that the year would see DHS with a new principal and a new activities director, but the new school board with Richard Salcido and Ruben Torres elected in February replaced Clarence Ramirez with Abran Armendariz and Tony Molinar with Carlos Vira- montes. Two events of national and international sig- nificance stunned the world — the assassination attempts on the lives of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul. But DHS students continued to drag Main in their pickups burning $1.24.9 a gallon gas and playing their tape players loud. How did the year end? With the usual madness of shaving cream and water balloons. Oh, yes, and the picking up of report cards in the girls ' gym that was alive for the last time of the year for about an hour. Varsity cheerleaders were not returned to that job and the new ones were out on the front lawn practicing for a new year. And in the patio flag girls and rifle girls were getting ready for tryouts. So that the 3,000 present at graduation coud not hear, the final two to receive their diploma cases said, For twelve years school has been pre- paring us lo meet the world: it should have been preparing the world for us. Once again DHS was empty — except for the janitors who were ready to give the school its annual cleaning, the secretaries who would order new books and supplies and wait for students to pick up the hundreds of unclaimed report cards. And the sprays would go all day in the patio filling up the spots students had worn out each noon as they whiled away the lunch hour, and lit- tle lakes would form. ABOUT THOSE END SHEETS — THE FRONT ONE It ' s an impossible task to condense a hundred years into an end sheet. All we can hope to cap- ture is some of the history of Deming ' s first 100 years. The pictures loaned by Mark Clark Dennis and the Deming Old Timers Association and used on the front end sheets show (1) Allen Crotchetl and the mode of travel in October 1918: (2) the students of Freda Scott ' s fourth grade at the old Central School in 1913: (3) Cool Pyle ' s football team of 1933; (4) and the 1939 Wildcat footballers; (5) all the DHS student body in front of the old High School building in 1921; (6) Old Central School built in 1982; (7) one of the first editors of the DHS school paper. The Tatler, Mary Clark Dennis with her sister Lucy Clark McKissick. Mary was editor in 1921. (8) the 1921 girls ' basketball team and (9) the 1921 boys ' basketball team and (10) Miss Nona Fendall ' s music class about 1900. THE BACK END SHEETS - IDENTIFICA- TION How do you celebrate the lOOth anniversary of the founding of your city ' The back end sheet shows how Deming did it March 7 and 8. ( 1 ) Mining of precious metals had a great deal to do with the growth of Deming as this Centen- nial Parade prospector and his burro try to show. (2) Dick Valenzuela ' s DHS band turned out in force for the parade, (3) Home Federal ' s float commemorated the 1881 silver spike ceremony. (4) New Mexico Senator Harrison Schmitt. a native of Silver City, jokes with Carl Schultz, one of the old-time Deming residents at the reenact- menl of the spike driving. (5) Harvey Girls were depicted on the Mimbres Valley Bank float by Mrs. Fred Seybert and Mrs. Nick Teague. (6) Lettie Roberts poses as the school marm on the Student Council float while Kelly Bowen acts the part of the dunce. (7) A balloon floats eastward from DHS, There were 25 of them in Deming to help commemorate 100 years since its founding. (8) Students from classes of Mrs. Harvielee Moore and Mrs. Ruth Eaves showed segments of the history of Deming. Here Marty Aguilar, Lourdes Montoya and Ricky Canton pose as farmers. (9) Howard Lively gives a tribute to the American flag following the reenactment of the driving of the silver spike. ( 10) A fair damsel lies on the railroad tracks about to be crushed by the oncoming train as Simon Legree (John Hakan- son) holds the mortgage in one hand and brand- ishes a whip in the other. The damsel in distress is Janet Irwin. (11) The Deming Community Band rode and performed m the parade. (12) Chorus members sing with band accompaniment to cele- brate 100 years. (13) One of the 25 balloons which ascended from the practice baseball field will soon be airborne. 256 ACADENnCA ARDS20:-.1 Acker. Re 158 Acosta, Alice 198 Acosta. Juan .15 Acosta, Mann 35 Acosla.

Charlie 32. 83. 87 263 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.
