I960 WILDKAT Published by the Students of DUNCAN HIGH SCHOOL Duncan, Arizona FOREWORD We of the WIL.DKAT staff this year, 1959-1960, wish to make this book one to remember. The important thing, we believe, is to give you a glimpse into the past and to keep alive warm memories so that you can re-live your happy experiences again and again. Very important in all your activities, past, present, and future, is the school. Therefore we have chosen our beloved school grounds and buildings to appear throughout the book to remind you of the good old days . Those days may be gone, but never completely. We have tried also to include a little about every student and his various activities. Remember your school, and you'll remember the pleasant times you had in Duncan High. This is the purpose of the WILDKAT. Pace 2 DEDICATION We, the students of Duncan High School, wish to dedicate this I960 WILDKAT to Mrs. Loma McEuen, who has completed five years' service to Duncan High School as its secretary. Besides being an assistant to three different principals in these five years, Mrs. McEuen has supplied the students with many of their needs. Many a bewildered person has been set at ease by her comforting smile, her reassuring voice, and her warm understanding. We are proud to have Mrs. McEuen as part of our school, and this dedication is a small token of our appreciation. Pace 3 Mr. W. M. Clark, retired, December 31, 1959. Mr. Frank Willis, 1959-62; Mr. Alfred Attaway, 1958-61; Mr. Lee Waters, 1960-63. President, Mr. A.ttaway. Clerk, Mr. Willis. BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. W. M. Clark retired at the end of 1959, after seventeen years' service to Duncan schools. Taking office in 1943, during World War II, Mr. Clark saw many changes and im- provements. During the war he and his fellow board members made preparations for the building of a new gym. In 1959 that gym, the finest of five new ones in Arizona, was dedicated. Among other additions and improvements to the school plant have been football field lights and fencing, a cafeteria building, five new elementary class rooms, tennis courts, and improve- ments in the high school buildings. In 1952 Duncan and Franklin elementary schools consolidated; in 1955 Virden High School pupils were accepted into the Duncan school system. These are some of the changes Mr. Clark has witnessed and advised for. Good luck to you, and thanks, Mr. Mack Clark ! This page sponsored by DAISY CREAM Phone 4951 Page 4 Duncan MR.

IN MEMORIAM jimmy McDonald January 14, 1944-January 24, I960 His passing reminded us of the in- visible line between life and death, of our own uncertain tenancy in the world of the living. It made terribly urgent our need to believe in the immortality of the human soul. We are grateful that he knew no pain, no remorse, no fear; that in our memories he will be forever young.

Though the varsity had fewer victories than defeats, the boys improved steadily, and with Richins, Renteria, Payne, and Rodriguez re- turning next year, the Wildkats feel confident of a better and stronger team in 1960-61.
