Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1953 volume:

JhsL (jt)iLdkaL 1953 (bsutiariion. For twenty-six yean Colonel Claude Packer has occupied a place in the heart of every student who has attended Duncan High. His cheery smile of love and understanding has made him the most unforgettable person we have ever known. With gratitude in our hearts for the encouragement he has given us, we, the annual staff, the senior class of ‘53, and the entire student body, fondly dedicate the 1953 annual to the most beloved figure of our high school days ’tS (BoaAcL o{j- fcduxxriion. Mr. Brubaker, Mr. Clark, Mr. Stratton, Mr. Gardner, Mr. Lovett Duncan Union High School became Duncan High School when Duncan District 2 and Franklin District 27 were consolidated by popular vote last summer. The grammar school and the high school now have only one board. Mr. Lee Stratton, president, and Mr. W. M. Clark, secretary, were members of the former high school board. Mr. Levier Gardner is a new member. DOUGLAS BRUBAKER Superintendent B.A. Arizona State College Flagstaff M.E. University of Arizona J'amUtif WILLIAM D.

Her four office assistants, shown below, represent all classes but the freshman. Here you come for an aspirin or a band aid, for admit slips to class, for setting a date for a party or a dance, and for a jillion other purposes all day long and every day of the school ear. Dena Parks records absences and tardies, but manages to remain popular with her school mates. These cute girls, Lottie Jones and Wanda Baber, have had to learn a lot as newcomers in the office this year. Betty Davis looks like a file clerk here, but she finds lots of other work to do in the office. Mr. Joe Mason - this is one of his many jobs. Mr. John Smith -Many Duncan High students were his seventh grade pupils. Mr. H. T. Clothier - only high school teacher on this page.

These fourth graders are Charleen Scadlock, Ruby Christensen, Gonk Bourgeous, Vernon Stinson, Adrian Gale, and Wayne O’Dell. Can you find them? Their teacher is Mrs. Curtis. This is a picture of the Duncan fourth grade with their teacner Mrs. Byers. Can you identify Nancy Coon, Nadine Stephens, Betty Davis, Peggy Barlow, Bill Hill, Marlene Smith, Joel Empie, Norman Aiir«� .d. and Billy Sanders? SswwJl d They’re looking a little more natural in the sixth grade. Can you find Billy Sanders Wayne Holhday, Laurie Golding, Norman Allred, Nadine Stephens, Peggy Barlow, Nancy Coon, Carmello Tellez, Bill Hill, Joel Empie, Mary Helen Reyes, Janice Axton, Marlene Smith and Nellie Villa? This teacher is Mr. Brubaker, now our school superintendent. Now they’re the big shots of the school (eighth graders)! Joel Empie, Wayne Holliday, Oliver Harrington, Nellie Villa, Mary Helen Reyes, Nadine Stephens, Mary Jane Spaw, Janice Axton, Betty Davis, Nancy Coon, Bill Sanders, Carmello Tellez, Peggy Barlow, Marlene Smith, Sam Foster, Laurie Golding, and Norman Allred are in. this picture. Mrs. Clark, who was our teacher in the picture, is still the eighth grade teacher. Kenny and Corky looked Sophomore class officers were Kenny as president; Bill as veep- pretty young when they were Marlene as secretary; Janice and Adrian as student Council members, initiated as freshmen. As juniors the class of '52 earned money for the junior-senior prom and ended the year with a swimming party at Hot Springs. JliqJv SdwoL (Djcuja, Government is one subject that all must endure for graduation; centered in this picture is class president Bill Sanders; Gonk appears in a typi- cal pose; studious Betty looks worried about that Constitution exam - Good luck, everybody! The class of 1952 now numbers 27, and this picture includes Mrs. Pflueger and Coach Hakes, class sponsors. SsmjuoAA- K 4X1 Marlene The ‘Wheel of Fortune” keeps turning, turning, turning, and the town of Duncan keeps growing smaller and smaller as the years go by, until finally it is the year of 1973, when the class of ’53 is having its reunion. The total white 1 population is normally five but it seems to be rapidly increasing. As we wander around and gossip with each and everyone of the class members, we find that Lottie Marv Helen AULVIE BOURGEOUS is living on his large farm in Franklin. It consists of ten acres of run-down cotton land. He says if he has a real good year he can afford to buy both a pair of second-hand overalls and a new shirt. He has sacrificed a lot to come to this reunion, we can tell. Hark! We hear the rumble-rattle of a horse and buggy. The population of Duncan has arrived—RUBY CHRISTENSEN, her husband, and their three children. We see a tall, grey-haired woman approaching the door. What’s she doing here? Oh, it’s our old classmate PEGGY BARLOW. Since Mrs. Clark’s retire- ment, Peggy has taken over. They tell us that the worry of trying to make a volleyball team out of three kids has turned her hair grey Who is this driving up in the bright red Model-T hotrod? It’s our old friend and buddy, SAM FOSTER, master of the under-world since Castello’s exile. We can’t help noticing CHARLEEN SCADLOCK, flirting as usual. Seems she’s still trying to catch herself a man. She’s even reverted to trying to perfect a man-trap. Looks like two girls from the class of ’53 stuck to their high school ambi- tions. Yep, JANICE RAPIER and MARLENE SMITH are happily married tc their “guys.” Here comes someone in a helicopter. It’s VERNON STINSON, the great aviator; he’s been flying around the world in search of the four comers of the earth. Say, we hear hoof-beats on the trail. It’s BILL HILL, the famous jockey, on his still more famous horse, “Slowpoke.” What’s Fernando Lamas doing here? And who’s the cute little gal tagging after him? It’s MARY HELEN REYES? Why, that’s right, she married him!! Say. whose snazzy Cadillac is that sitting out in front? Is that MARY JANE SPAW wriggling out from under the wheel? It is!! She says she’s engaged to her boss. She’s such a good typist that he wants to marry her so he won’t have to pay her a salary. Laurie NORMAN ALLRED has finally got himself a wife. The only way he coulc get up the nerve was to take a swig of fermented grape juice. Poor NADINE STEVENS! After so many engagements, the men finally gave her up. She’s an old maid school teacher now. The last person in the world we expected to be a tramp was WAYNE O’DELL, but he is!! He just came in, in the box car of the last special of the dav. Janice Rapier Nellie and Mary Jane fijwpPmaf BETTY DAVIS just breezed in from New York City where she’s “Working Her Way Through College.” A telegram just arrived to say that the President of the Democratic Congo will arrive a little late. We didn’t know who it was, but after inquiring, we found it was WAYNE HOLLIDAY. There are three white people in his country—him- self, his wife, and his son. The rest of the population of 3,003 is made up of apes. After trying to make a fast million in a month, JOEL EMPIE grew dis- couraged so now he owns a gambling casino fn Las Vegas. His motto is “Easy come, easy go.” The most successful of the class of ’53 seems to be KENNETH GOODMAN; he pursued his basketball career and has finally made the “Harlem Globe Trotters.” As water-boy, that is. Here comes someone making a grand entrance, swinging in through the window. Who could it be? Why it’s BILL SANDERS; he seems to think he’s Tarzan, poor guy! Well, we haven’t seen everyone yet, but they’re about ready to start the program. We will tell you about the participants as tJhey come on the stage. As announcer we have “Glamor Boy” (CARMELLO) TELLEZ. He is the “swoon bait” of the bobby-soxers these days! First on the program is a trumpet solo by JANICE AXTON. She couldn’t decide whether to make the piano or the clarinet her career so she finally compromised on taking the trumpet and running Harry James out of business. Now comes NELLIE VILLA; she’s a Hula-Hula dancer! Always thought she’d make a good one. Is that Mario Lanza we hear? Oh, no, it’s ADRIAN GALE; seems the’s taken Mario’s place. (We wonder how??? Next on the program is the famous T-V comedian team, NANCY COON and OLIVER HARRINGTON. Say, they’re really good! The last straw is LAURIE GOLDING appearing as “Gorgeous Goldie.” They say that next to Gorgeous George he’s the best wrestler this old U. S. has ever seen. WHAT is this world coming to??? This seems to be the end of the reunion, since the class can’t afford re- freshments. They’ve changed since we last saw them! (We wonder if it’s for the best!?!) Everyone is getting into his transportation, preparing to leave, when an atomic bomb is drppped right in the BIG middle of things, and destroys the whole class of ’53. Such a pity??? Betty Joel Seems they were too busy with the class reunion to listen to their radios. Oh, well, all we can say is “Good riddance to bad rubbish!!” (Thank Heavens, they’re gone! There will be peace on earth once again!) Adrian Janice Axton Bill Sanders S tiioAA' We, the Senior Class of 1953, possessing the perfect sanity upon which individual characteristics of each member of the class has been established, do proclaim and establish this our last will and testament, believing it to be beneficial and advantageous to each and every individual involved. To Mr. Brubaker we leave a paddle handle. We’re afraid to give him the business end!! To Mr. Lovett we leave a jewel studded Spanish sword as an aid in handling those we leave behind us. To Mrs. Van Gundy we leave a pine coffin to protect her from the sun- light, so she can do her flying about on full-mooned nights. To Miss Schuelke we leave a book entitled “Various Traps and Snares.” written and published by Lottie Jones. To Mr. Miller we leave a little red wagon to help him in the F.F.A.’s future ice cream bar concession until they can afford a cart. To Mrs. Pflueger we leave the bell in the hall to add to her collection. We’re tired of it!!! To Mr. Hakes we leave the memory of nine perfect football players and also a separate column in the ARIZONA REPUBLIC for his J.V. basketball games. To Prof. Santee we leave a black toupee. Even though we didn’t make him lose his hair, this next bunch is sure to!!! To Mr. Frealy we leave the hope of miraculously finding some other bas- ketball players as good as we to fill our shoes. It would be impossible to find any better ones!! To Mr. Clothier we have the new tennis courts, because we can’t take them with us. To Dora we leave a wheelbarrow for carrying the typewriter from the English room to the office instead of having to wear out some husky boy. To Marvin and Topper we leave an electronic eye to roll every stray pop bottle to its home under the stairs. To the freshmen we will the ability to yell as loud as we always have after class meetings. To the sophomores we leave a few more students so that they can hold their own against next year’s senior class. To the juniors we leave our empty money bags and the luck to make enough money to go on a ditch day to the river bottom.

JooibaLL Winning two and losing six, the Duncan High School football team under two new coaches, Gail Hakes and Ben Frealy, had a good season, considering the boys' lack of experience. Although there was little material, and we lost more than we won. Coach Hakes said he en- joyed coaching this team more than any other he had coached. Despite the loss of nine se- niors, we can expect a better season next year, with more experience and a better turn- out.

Will he be able to spell out HOPE? Will his school teach him the meaning of COOP- ERATION? Does his home teach him the way of HAPPINESS? Does it teach him to work with others? One of the best lessons he can learn is to cooperate with others to provide the essentials of life. In many parts of the country children and young people have set up co-ops at school and camp and have learned the vital lessons of working together. Your locally owned, and locally con- trolled rural electric cooperative stands for faith in the future, cooperation and greater enjoyment of life for all. Once Johnny learns to spell out the most important lesson of these—cooperation—he, his brothers and sisters and children every- where will live happier, more useful and more prosperous lives.
