Grateful for our parents and friends, we present the 1964 WILDKAT Foreword Cattlemen, Cottonmen, Coppermen, and Men of Commerce all play important parts in our community and school. They want to make Duncan High School a better place for the youth of this valley to at- tend. We, the graduating class of 1964, should always bear in mind the many trips to town which our parents have made from distant ranches and farms, as well as from Franklin and Virden, to make it possible for us to attend all the activities in which we wished to participate. We should remember the long hours of driv- ing which the Phelps Dodge workers have in going to and from work so that their children can attend Duncan schools. We want to thank the merchants for sup- porting and promoting school activities and projects. We, the annual staff of 1964, would like to pay tribute to these people in this year’s WILDKAT.

In 1952 he returned to take up his duties of “picking up after the forgetful kids who throw papers on the campus.” Topper met his wife, Mary Scott, when he was a patient in the Morenci Hospital, where she was a nurse. She still does part time nursing there. The Johnsons have two young sons--Paul, four, and Steven, “almost three. ” Topper advises all young people, and especially boys, to finish their high school and “get that diploma. ’’ Topper, we salute you and thank you for the work you do and the help you give.
