Duncan High School - Wildkat Yearbook (Duncan, AZ)

Dlie Witdkat 1962 Published by THE STUDENTS OF DUNCAN HIGH SCHOOL Duncan, Arizona 1 }orewor When the first pioneers laid eyes on the Duncan Valley, they saw before them a desert wasteland relieved only by the Gila River. Today, through the miracle of irrigation, the desert has flowered and what was once a wasteland is now a section of fertile farms. The tiny settlement of Duncan has kept pace with these changes-------blooming as the Valley surrounding it. The school has kept pace with the town, changing and improving through the years. We, the staff of the 1962 WILDKAT, have tried to catalogue these various events in the life of our school. If you can look back through the years with us, we will feel that we have succeeded.

Jimmy is noted for his strictness and the quietness which prevails on his bus. Many of this year's seniors have ridden with Jimmy not only during their years in high school, but all the years which they were in grade school. Both Jimmy and his wife, Ruby, were students at DHS, as were two of their children. Their third child i s at present attending Duncan Elementary School. In gratitude, we the staff, dedicate the 1962 WILDKAT to Jimmy Sanders. 3 Pkll 2),nnU O’SbJt April 4, 1946 - August 4, 1961 He lived short moments in his earthly home, but he lives still in the hearts of his friends. We dream that Dennis, in his heavenly state, now laughs and plays with but greater joy. .5acu itu According to one of the Duncan Valley's oldest residents, Mr. J. W. Aker, the first Duncan school was built in approximately 1906. This school served only the students in the town of Duncan. In 1924, the communities of York and Sheldon consolidated into the Duncan school system. Gradually, the Duncan schools have grown until they are now serving the communities of Guthrie, York, Sheldon, Franklin, and Virden. ALFRED ATTAWAY Mr. Attaway has been a school board member for four years. He and his wife are graduates of DHS, and their children, Diane and Wayne, attend Duncan Grammar School, and have a little brother, Kevin, born last July. LEE WATERS Mr. Waters, who came to Duncan at the age of twenty-one, has been a board member for two years. Two of his sons, Lester and Ronald, are graduates of DHS, as is his wife; and a third son, David, is a member of the class of 1962. d oar FRANK WILLIS Mr. Willis, a DHS grad- uate, has been a board member for three years. His son and daughter graduated from Duncan High, and his three grandsons and one granddaughter now attend Duncan Grammar School. cl, Administration jfd(an Mr. Attaway, president; Mr. Willis, clerk; Mr. Waters, member M 'm iniitration DOUGLAS BRUBAKER Superintendent This has been the thirty-third year in Duncan for Mr. Brubaker, and his tenth year as superintendent of schools. Coming to Duncan in 1929 as a class- room teacher, Mr. Brubaker became county superintendent in 1935 and held that position until the fall of 1943, when he returned to Duncan as elementary school principal--an office which he still holds. In 1952 when Duncan Schools were consolidated, he became superin- tendent. _sdliead Letter ROBERT WRIGHT Principal During his third year in Duncan, and first as principal, Mr. Wright has encouraged regular attendance, dis- cipline, and scholarship. An outstand- ing new regulation concerns student cars--keys are checked into the office each morning, and no noon-time joy- riding. Neatness of dress for both boys and girls was especially stressed this year. 7 Mr. Armstrong explains the mysteries of the slide rule to Diane Nelson and Robert Aker. This has been Mr. Armstrong's first year at Duncan High School. Two sections of Algebra I, two of Algebra II, and one of geo- metry have been the order of his day. Mr. Armstrong re- ceived his B. A. degree in secondary education and his M. Ed. in guidance at the University of Arizona. Mrs. Boyett's third year at Duncan High School was marked by a special interest in preparing her classes for the wear and tear of college life. Mrs. Boyett has stim- ulated interest in all phases of English. Mrs. Boyett re- ceived her B. A. degree from Ouachita College in Arizona. Sandra Gentry, Carmen Quinones, Richard Devoll, Jody Jacobson study a bulletin board for a unit in using the library. 8 A 1949 graduate of Duncan High School, Mr. Chapman teaches government in three sections and physical educa- tion.

She teaches Spanish I and II, and English III. Mrs. Dull is a graduate of the University of Arizona with a B. A. degree in Spanish. Mr. Honsinger's first year at Duncan High School has been filled with cryptical for- mulas, scientific experi- ments, and a busy teaching schedule. Mr. Honsinger received his B. S. degree from Southwestern State College in Weatherford, Oklahoma. 10 Jerri Ross, Pat MacIntyre, and Sue Butler make a dissection of a clam.

Season Includes Wildkat Victory Over Trojans The 1962 baseball season ended with a record of 5-9. The highlight of the season was the five- inning smash victory over rival Clifton, 15-4. Among the graduating seniors were Teo (Pudge) Rodriguez, Arthur (Bones) Montoya, John White, and Paul Lunt. Pudge was the outstanding batter with an average of . 500. Following him were Butch Hicks with . 390, Thomas Contreras with .372, and John White with .366. Lettermen expecting to return are Thomas Contreras, Dennis Moyers, Robert Gardner, Ralph Rodriguez, Eddie Hartner, Spencer Jones, Duane Francom, Dennis Lunt, and Butch Hicks. Coach Hicks and Assistant Coach Honsinger encouraged proper conditioning. Part of the weekly schedule was devoted to a series of exercises. LEFT: Coach Hicks leads the boys in daily dozen . RIGHT: Pitchers were Thomas Contreras, Arthur Montoya, Ed Hartner, shown with Coach Honsinger. Principal-Coach Wright and CoachSantee groomed the tracksters this season. Here they brief the boys before the district meet, where Duncan came in fourth with fifteen points. Payne (center), Duncan's lone entry in the state meet, runs here with Sanders and Montoya. Many Turn Out For Track Activities Coaches Bob Wright and Don Santee can be justly proud of their twenty-eight regular cinder- men this year. Many of the boys were underclassmen who fought hard for the school. Dennis Payne earned two second place honors in the district track meet to qualify for state competition. He failed to place in the 440-yard dash, but did take third in the high hurdles. Duncan should have a good 1963 season, with returning lettermen in all three classes.

The Kittens, playing in fourteen matches, won thirteen and tied one (with Thatcher). The Kats, with eleven engagements, won eight and lost three (two to Miami, one to Willcox). Together, the teams cleaned up at the district tournament, capturing nine- teen points out of a possible twenty- three; and they came out first in the state tournament, with twelve points. Coach Clothier, with twenty-eight years' experience in building Duncan tennis teams, and fourteen firsts in state tourn- aments, looks forward to the 1963 season with eleven lettermen expected to return. Nedra Lunt, number one girl for the past two years, has won a second in singles and two firsts in doubles at state tournaments. This year she was named Duncan's Outstanding Girl Athlete. Judy Johnson, Nedra Lunt, Sandra Smith (shown herewith Mr. Clothier) represented Duncan in the district tournament at Willcox May 5 and the state in Tucson May 12. Coach H. T.
