THE WILDKAT 1965 DUNCAN HIGH SCHOOL Duncan, Arizona Volume 32 We’re on Our Way Deeply emblazoned upon our minds, the years we have spent at Duncan High School will always remain memorable. Whether our memories be fond or not depends specifically on how we as students behave ourselves. Our teachers have struggled to teach us the fundamental rules of life along with daily lessons. As we go on our individual ways, many ruleswill re- main with us and help make the road we travel much easier. For the seniors this is the climax of four action-packed years. Now they’re on their way. They must face the world. The big choice of what they will do now faces them squarely. There is no way of avoiding it. What they decide to do will affect them for- ever, for if they choose to further their education, they will be chal- lenged with many new experiences. !f the business world beckons to them, they will feel the thrill of mak- ing their own way in life. Should matrimony bind one to another,’they will assume new responsibilities. Yes, seniors have reached their crossroads. ' Which will they take? We’re on our way ! • I Contents ' The Year’s Highlights. . . . , 4 Faculty and Curriculum. . . . . . 17 Activities . . .33 Athletics . . .55 Classes . . .69 Senior Register . . 106 Acknowledgments . . 107 Index . . 108 ’64-’65 school year starts out with assembly, Wildkat band members gather at end of summer for annual Rampage parade. Behind the drum is S. Preston, followed by L. A. Lunt, G. Ste- vens, I. Barney. Rampage benefits Duncan ambulance fund. Whatever Student Body President Jim Edgar has said at opening-of-school assembly must be funny, judging by grins of Sophomores Don Johnson, Royce Wood, Dennis Tomerlin, Clay Starin. With high school enrollment opening at 195 in September, 1964, the Wildkats settled down to classes and football and volleyball, with the usual freshman initiation, band practice for half-times, lots of pep rallies, and club projects. Freshman initiation introduced some variety in costumes. KNEELING: T. Montoya, R. Rodriguez. STANDING: L. Walden, L. Price, C. Moyers, J. Johnson, B. Boyd, P. Patterson, J. Tea, S.

November and December ended with vaca- tions, but were filled first with many activities--the ending of the football and volleyball seasons, the Christmas pro- gram by the music department, the sen- iors’ plans for their ball, and the making of Christmas candies and selling of Christ- mas items by the ambitious FHA, FFA, and seniors.

Letter man-sponsored assembly skit showed Clifton Tro- jans stringing up Robert Wright, and Wildkats rescuing him in nick of time. As pep-assemblies sparked school spirit with special attention on Duncan’s old rival, Clifton, class work pro- ceeded, though it was not all reading, writing, and figuring. As Judge Porter Murry explained legal complications Sophomores spent two whole days taking achievement tests. Reflection of books from library emphasizes their concentration. 8 studies; speakers, projects pep up classes.

The Honorable Porter Murry of Clifton discusses cur- rent United States problems with the American history class. 9 Boys’ quartet pleases at Concert, Festival Popular number at spring concert was boys’ quartet, with song about a fickle gal. They were named outstanding at Eastern Arizona District Music Festival. Bad winter weather brought students indoors some noons for dancing in study hall. Junior Buzz Filleman dances with freshman Billie Boyd on one of those days. Spring days set boys and coaches to work grooming the fields. A worn-out water line is here being replaced by P.E. students. 10 The band played for the elementary school’s annual grade teacher. Here they play music from the operetta, which this year was HANSEL AND GRETEL, Hum per dink opera, with Director J. W. Santee and was directed by Mrs. Rachel Smith, eighth accompanying. Homemaking students present fashion show. In April the homemaking girls modeled for the Woman's Club. From simple skirts made by beginners to complicated suits made by seniors, their creations showed skill, and, coached by Mrs. Shirley Hidenhour, their teacher, the girls learned the principles of walking, turning, and standing.

In March, came a big snow, but even at 8:30 a.m., the sun was melting it fast. BELOW: Eilene Boyett and Sherrell Mortensen thoughtfully track patterns in the lovely, rare, sparkling sub- stance. Just before Ditch Day, which began May 20, the caps and gowns arrived, and seniors lined up to claim them and take them home to be pressed for Baccalaureate. 16 Freshman students in homemaking class enjoy studying pattern books for styles as they prepare to sew for spring semester projects and model at Easter fashion show. That extra push into the realms of knowledge needed to face the world after graduation is provided by the teachers at Duncan High. Hideous smells of formaldehyde from the biology classes were mixed with sweet aromas of cooking food from the homemaking department. Many students burned the midnight oil to finish research themes for English I and English IV. Another experience was their requirement of a paper every six weeks for American government. If Duncan’s seniors are not prepared to buckle down and work in college, it will not be the fault of the faculty. Gradu- ates must now choose the road of life for themselves. Faculty, Curriculum 17 Board of Education Mr. Frank Willis, secretary; Mr. Elvin Lunt, president; Mr. Alfred Attaway, member. Voters decide for 5-man school board. In 1964, after 13 years with a three-man school board, voters of Duncan School District No. 2 called for a five-man board. Until Jan. 1, 1966, the present three members will serve. Mr. Elvin Lunt, now completing his first term, will run for reelection if he wishes to continue after January, 1966. Altogether three members will be elected in 1965, to complete the five- man membership. The candidate re- ceiving the highest number of votes will gain a five-year term; second in the count will have a four-year term; and the candidate running third will serve for three years. On each suc- ceeding year the member elected will serve for five years. Serving at present with Mr. Lunt are Mr. Frank Willis, whose third term began Jan 1, 1965; and Mr. Alfred Attaway, now in the middle of his third term. Problems facing the board include discipline, finance, and selection of personnel. In all, the staff for Duncan Schools numbers about 50. At steak fry, Superintendent Brubaker chats with Mr. and Mrs. Lunt, Mr. Mr. Willis and Principal Chapman watch Attaway, and teachers. steaks progress on charcoal. Administration FLOYD D. CHAPMAN, Principal DOUGLAS BRUBAKER, Superintendent Mr. Chapman Heads Duncan High School A graduate of Duncan High School in the class of 1949, Floyd D. Chapman returned to coach and teach at Duncan High in 1957. In 1964, he was named principal. Among Mr. Chapman’s duties is that of keeping the Wildkats in line. Their be- havior, activities, and scholastic achievements are carefully checked by him. Completing his 27th year of service to Duncan schools is Douglas Brubaker, superintendent. As head of the elemen- tary school, he has the task of controlling about 575 students. With his work as superintendent comes the responsibility of seeing to it that the schools together function smoothly. As vice-president ex-officio of the Parent-Teacher As- sociation, Superintendent Brubaker presents to P.T.A. President Carmen Garcia a plaque won by the Duncan chapter for the highest percentage of membership in- crease in Arizona in 1963-64. Vice-President LeRoss Jones is at left. 19 Faculty REBECCA BOYETT, B.A., Ouchita College, has done grad- uate work at Arizona State College and the University of Montana.

RIGHT: Mr. Richardson carefully types one of his many tests--algebra, geometry, physics? Who knows? 21 Office secretary, assistants aid school life. “May I make an announcement?” reminds students and teachers of the presence and activities of the office staff. Also, it can remind anyone at Duncan High that he can thank Mrs. Loma McEuen and her well- trained staff of girls for the smooth running of the machinery of the school. From the sale of lunch tokens each Monday morning to the last-minute announcements of Friday afternoons, these people keep busy with typ- ing, operating the ditto machine, and running errands for both administration and teachers. Office girls this year worked in the following periods: Sherrill Mortensen, first; Juanita Bailey, second; Ruby Stephens, third; Cheryl Stephens, fifth; Willie Chapman, sixth. Assisting Guidance Counselor Charles Hicks were Lorenza Lopez and Gayle Stevens. Sec- retary to Mr. H.T. Clothier in the commerce department was Irene Barney. MRS. LOMA McEUEN is secretary to Principal Chapman and Superintendent Brubaker. 22 STUDENT SECRET ARIES- -SEATED: Willie Chap- man. STANDING: Ruby Stephens, Irene Barney, Juanita Bailey, Sherrill Mortensen, Cheryl Stephens, Gayle Stevens, Lorenza Lopez. Busy office offers guidance to students The counseling of students, which is vital in helping them choose the stations they wish to fill in life, is provided by Mr, Charles Hicks. Among Mr. Hicks’s duties are giving various tests to students; helping set up class schedules; counseling seniors Mr. Charles Hicks, counselor, and adviser to student council. in their choice of colleges or jobs. Examinations administered by Coun- selor Hicks include IQ tests; the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow test for senior girls; and aptitude and ITEDs (achievement). Then scores must be recorded and the results must be analyzed. Numerous questions are asked of librarians. With the high school teachers requiring numerous research themes and book re- ports, the librarians are kept busy looking up the answers to many questions; this is in addition to the usual business of checking books in and out, mending worn ones, and hunting for lost ones. “What’s a good book to read?’’ becomes a familiar question. LIBRARIANS: Marie Quinones, Charlotte Pugmire, Sheila Wood, Wayne Gardner, Darlene Gardner, Josie Cervantes (seated), Terry Campbell. 23 Bus Drivers pick up, deposit students daily. BUS DRIVERS—John Smith, Duff Chap- man, James Sanders, Dean Chapman, New custodians come After nine years as a high school cus- todian, Dean Chapman became a bus driver this year for Duncan schools, taking the route to Three-Way and Guthrie. Taking over as assistants to the head custodian, Floyd (Topper) Johnson, were Mary Jane Arrington and Harvey Hartley in the classrooms, and Carlos Martinez in the gym. About three o’clock every afternoon the Antone Thygerson, Hubert Bowman, Jay Pierce, Archie Stephens, J. W. Santee. in to assist Topper. bus drivers gather on the front lawn, waiting for the 3:15 bell; soon the teacher-bus drivers come panting, and off they all go, with a Virden bus in the lead. Meanwhile, the custodians move in, and the chairs are lined up in neat rows while the dirt, the chewing gum wrap- pers, and the pinon shells are swept into the trash. CUSTODIANS—Floyd (Topper) Johnson, Carlos Martinez, Mary Jane Arrington, Micky Ferrell (cafeteria), Harvey Hartley. 24 Ladies mix, mash, bake, ’n’ serve in cafeteria. COOKS—Mrs. Rachel Sanders, Mrs. Ruth Sexton, Mrs. Maude Hartley, manager, Mrs. Helen Boyd, Mrs. Thaddie Bourgeous. STUDENT HELPERS--Butch Hicks, John Bruce Lunt, Don Richins, Bob Richins, Harold Lunt, Robert Wright, John Acres, Ronnie Daniel, Larry Lunt. Keeping almost 800 kids healthy and satis- fied is no easy task, as the five cafeteria cooks will testify. To them falls the duty of preparing well -balanced, appetizing meals that appeal to children with all kinds of likes and dislikes. All five of this year’s cooks returned from other years of service. With Mrs. Hartley as manager, all pitch in and do a fine job of cooking. Among the favorites for lunch this year were tender tortillas and tacos. Huge pots, kettles, and pans are needed for beans, puddings, salads, and other good food. Here, Mrs. Bourgeous stirs up a batch of chocolate pudding while Mrs. Sanders observes. 25 Library provides opportunities for study as Senior Bob Richins shows still life with which he won sweepstakes award at Greenlee County Fair. It was art class project. UPPER LEFT: Library was often used this year for re- ports. Here Linda Walden and Laurie Waters, general science, check card catalog. LEFT: Mickey Ferrell and Cecil O'Dell display English III “Heraldry of the Range project which tells story of Duncan-area brands. Dominant objective of Mrs. Re- becca Boyett for her English classes was teaching students to read and like it. Scene at left shows freshmen concentrating on texts and library books. 26 projects, demonstrations add interest to work. Delicately sketching in water colors is Carlos Renteria, art student. He was artist for Junior Prom. Mike Haws is at right. Studying in the classroom is not all there is to learning at DHS. The library gives extra information for research papers, and study hall offers tables for comfort and convenience in using reference books and in writing. Art work gives needed experience and is used for special project assignments in almost all subjects. Students who signed up this year for speech instruction found themselves talking for the first time before a group, and overcame their fear of such an experience. Demonstrations were popular features and assignments this year in speech class. TOP PICTURE shows the “three stooges”--Richard Chavez, Luis Montoya, Maggie Bejarano--barbering each other. BELOW: Darlene Mor- gan prepares bored poodle for bath, and Luis Contreras demonstrates correct techniques in playing ping pong. Having found a quiet corner of the study hall, Tommy Adams prepares report from reference books. Whether for English IV or for American government, these and other seniors spent much time in study hall. 27 Reports, World history students study lessons beside D Hill, which they will remember as part of their own high school story. CENTER: Robert Johns reads report to Ag IV classmates Luis Montoya, Max Rapier, Marvin Sex- ton. BOTTOM: Sophomores, beginning students in typ- ing, find this skill useful for future years. Charts and maps are used in many classes to make understanding easier and learning faster. Mr. Reeves Knowlton was es- pecially glad this year to be able to buy a number of these to help him in the teaching of history. How can people learn to do geometry with the practice afforded by blackboard work? That goes for other kinds of math, also. After a summer at a Na- tional Science Foundation Institute Mr. Dean Hon- singer was more convinced than ever of the value of charts for his science classes. Typewriters are nothing new at DHS, but they are just as important as ever, and the drill insisted on by Mr. H.T. Clothier is just as strict and just as useful as it ever was. Those ma- chines could tell long sto- ries of the tests, the jour- nalism stories, and the typing budgets they have helped to produce! 28 demonstrations, charts help in learning process. TOP LEFT: Mike McKeon points to one of several new maps acquired this year for American and world history study. TOP RIGHT: Dennis Tomerlin, Sidni Kilbarger, Royce Wood drill on seed- bearing parts of plants for biology lesson. RIGHT: ‘Understand this, Cutes?” Lee Ann Lunt asks a classmate as Eilene Boyett writes steps in geometry problem. Junior and senior chemistry students wonder if this chart of the elements will one day be even longer and harder. 29 Furniture-making, dress-fashioning add practical As boys study patterns and make various kinds of furniture out of wood, the girls prepare for their side of homemaking by pouring over pattern books and choosing styles. These girls also study cookbooks and experiment with good-tasting and nutritious foods and menus. Students in other classes toil over ledgers learning to be precise in bookkeeping; and journalism stu- dents interview friends and visitors and report their findings. Accuracy of another kind is re- quired of music students as they spend hours practicing; and of for- eign language students in perfecting their accents. TOP LEFT: As Bert Bejarano and Joe Quinones study plans, Tommy Adams sands boards for gun cabinet. To make a harmonious whole, small choral groups learn to perfect tone and pitch, as Mr. Santee (left) listens for flaws. Early in the second semester ensembles begin prac- tice for Spring Music Concert, as the brass sextet (below) demonstrates. 30 skills as music study trains ear for appreciation. Cecilia Lujan, Tommy Adams, Brenda Malaney find the Spanish language more interesting as David Lunt shows South American curios. Marie Richardson, senior homemaking student, takes special care as she stitches seams in garment for spring project. Clipping newspaper stories and headlines is one project for journalism students Becky Nutt and Butch Hicks infifth period. A bookkeeping student’s work is never done, or so it seems. Adding machines are popular; red pencils are necessary. LEFT: Driving training classes learned first aid, as Allen Welch’s artificial respiration practice on Luis Montoya demonstrates. 31 Some school work looks actually enjoyable! Though boys seem at ease in Mr. Ivan Richard- the first year Duncan High had offered the subject son’s physics class, these seniors did plenty since the boys entered high school, and enthu- of studying for frequent tough tests. This was iasm was high. This Valentine’s Day party in shorthand was not typical. The class has always been known as one of the toughest. BELOW LEFT: Western Day just before the County Fair is the reason for the odd-looking hombre (John Tea) in background. BELOW RIGHT: “Oh-ho! Trying to eat my candy castle!” says Cecil O’Dell to Bob Richins over English IV project. 32 Ray Wilson seems to be having a verbal war with Ronald Anderson at masquerade dance sponsored by Future Teachers of America. The various clubs at Duncan High offer students who wish to participate an opportunity to develop in the fields that interest them and to determine whether they wish to follow these fields for their life-time work. The cheerleaders lead the crowds in cheers that reflect the VVildkat spirit at various games. The Spanish Club caroling and pinata; Play Day sponsored by the student council; the Spring Concert and the Dis- trict Music Festival; the Letterman’s Club slave auction; Nation Honor So- ciety initiation; the Future Farmers’ banquets and field days--these and many other activities, some new, some traditional, took the Wildkats along their way this year. Activities, Organizations Student Council FRONT ROW: Adviser Charles Hicks, Principal Floyd Chapman, Jim Edgar, president, Howard Filleman, vice-president, Nancy Merrell, secretary, Ruby Ste- phens.

BACK ROW; Louis Contreras, Luis Montoya, Cecil O’Dell, Butch Hicks, Jim Tomer- lin, Dennis Tomerlin, Randy Lunt, Bethleen Jones. Council builds students’ pride in Duncan High. With Charles Hicks as adviser and Jim Edgar as president, the DHS student council worked this year to build re- sponsibility and pride among all stu- dents for their school. Participation in state and county stu- dent council conventions provided op- portunities to compare problems and Food concession at Greenlee County Fair required planning sessions. This group mapped plans for cleaning the stand. projects with delegates from other schools. Service to community was the aim, and became a successful achievement, when the council and classes cooperated in collecting food and clothing todistribute to needy families at Christmas. - To encourage students and public to keep football field and campus neat, council members made trash cans. 34 National Honor Society FRONT ROW: Mrs. Vera Dull, adviser, Irene Barney, president, John Bruce Lunt, vice - pre s 1- dent, Lorraine Moore, secretary, LorenzaLopez, treasurer, Luis Montoya, student council rep- resentative. BACK ROW: Sheila Wood, Sandra Gentry, Charlotte Pugmire, Pat Johns, Beth- leen Jones, Nancy Merrell, Lee Ann Lunt, Larry Lunt, Howard Filleman. Honor society encourages all-round leadership. Scholarship strengthened by char- acter, leadership, and service is the aim of the National Honor So- ciety. For service this year, the group offered a college scholar- ship. One activity raising funds for this was a “Harvest Moon” dance in November. In the spring, members were in- vited to nominate an outstanding American for the Hall of Fame. Their choice, Jane Addams, was one of a number to be voted on na- tionally later in the year. Sophomore honor students are per- mitted to participate actively in NHS affairs and are encouraged to maintain good scholastic records so that they may carry on the work of the society as senior members graduate.

Because Christmas is a joyous holiday in Mexico, the club annually goes caroling and celebrates with a dinner and a pinata party. This year the caroling was all the more authentic, as the singers carried luminarias (lighted candles). For better understanding of Spanish speaking countries, the club heard Gary Hatch and David Lunt tell of their ex- periences in Central and South Ameri- ca, where they traveled as L.D.S. missionaries. For initiation into club in spring of 1964, Tommy Adams and Marie Quinones performed Mexican Hat Dance.

The FTA, a service club, often provided substitute teachers during the year when teachers were absent in the elementary school. Working in pairs, students found it easier to teach and to enforce discipline at the same time. High-jinks highlight of the year was the mas- querade dance for raising funds to send delegates to the state FTA convention in April.

This year they made three educational tours, participated in three Field Days, and honored their parents and outstand- ing members at the annual Parent and Son Banquet. Pres. Butch Hicks represented the chapter at the National FFA Convention in Kansas City in October. Among those earning recognition for the year’s work were Lorden Jones, Star Chapter Farmer, and Steve Pace, Star Chapter Greenhand.

Volleyball and tennis players join the GAC, a “real fun” group. In the fall, they sponsor a Volleyball Banquet for the girls and their par- ents, and in the spring the big event is a Sweetheart Dance. This year the theme of the dance was “The Birds and the Bees”, and the blushing Beau chosen by the girls to reign over the dance was senior Mike Haws. Two initiations, one in September and one on May 1 this year, required new members to wear heel-to-hats all day at school, and to do all necessary work for the dance that followed. GAC President Sherrill Mortensen chuckles as Mike Haws adjusts his new GAC Beau sweater. Slavery helps Lettermen to honor Moms, Dads. “Slaves for a Day” was the popular slo- gan the Letterman’s Club used topersuade Duncan students to part with their cash and enrich the treasury. A slave auction in early October delivered both students and coaches into the hands of owners who later enjoyed the pleasures of dictating the dress' and make-up of their humble servants and of being served and bowed down to by the school heroes. That was all right--the lettermen would do that much for money, much of which went into chrysanthemum corsages for their mothers when they sponsored Mom and Dad Nights during the football and basketball seasons. Slave Auction forced slave H. Lunt to jump rope with chain lease for master R. Wilson. Spectators areC. Pugmire, L. Moore.

Special thanks go to Mr. Charles Hicks, who helped the class publish two issues early in the year when Mrs. Nathalie Van Gundy, the sponsor, was absent.

Though the weather was still shivery, girls blossomed out in spring formals. “Stairway to the Stars” had a color scheme of blue and silver. Banquet centerpieces were tiny stairways perched on fluffs of cotton clouds. According to tradition, the Juniors wore their class rings that night.

Through athletics, the Wildkats reap the benefits of learning good sportsmanship and practicing teamwork. They keep glowing the spark of school spirit which is so vital to the life of the school. Those new to the exhilarations provided by sports must be guided to form smooth-working teams and helped to develop sound physical bodies. As we Wildkats review the year’s story, we can be proud of the Duncan teams for preserving the spirit and showing the fight of true Wildkats along the way of the year 1964 and 1965.

Bob Richins and Robert Wright, were awarded B East All-Conference positions, Robert being named defensive linebacker, and Bob tying with Willcox’s Kimble and Tombstone’s Luedke for fullback honors. Both men had been fullbacks on the Wildkat team until Coach Holds- worth this fall tried Robert on the line. Taking over the team as head coach was Tom Holdsworth, who had had one year’s experience in Ohio, his home state. Assisting were Dean Honsinger and Leonard Hill. Coach Holdsworth replaced Floyd Chapman, who, after seven years with the team, took over the principal’s duties. Commenting on the boys’ work for the season.

The winning of two out of three in the latter half of the schedule indicated that lack of experience was the major factor in their slow start. Coach Leonard Hill said he felt that the boys best game was the first of the two played with Clifton. “They played very good offense,” he said. “They had a strong defense also, and played an out- standing game.” SCOREBOARD JV FOOTBALL DUNCAN OPPONENT 6 Willcox 12 7 Morenci 14 0 Morenci 32 20 Clifton 7 13 Thatcher 6 0 Clifton 6 as frosh also get practice in cage activity.

Excitement pervaded the Duncan gym when the Kittens, meeting the Clifton Trojanettes for the finals, saw their rivals erase an eight-point lead within one minute of the end of the game. In over-time play, Duncan made the first point, which was needed for a two-point lead and victory. “Lorraine Moore, all-round athlete,” said Coach Clothier, “sparkplugged the team. It was hard to get a ball past her, and her sharp spiking was a deciding factor in Duncan’s victory. Others who excelled in varsity play were junior Shirleen Lan- caster, powerful spiker; Irene Barney, outstanding in her first year of competition; and Willie Chapman, who missed seven matches during the season, but whose spiking and serving played a strong part in the tournament. “Steady pickup girls whose good serves and setups helped Dun- can’s fierce spiking offense were Bethleen Jones, Brenda Ma- laney, Sherrill Mortensen, Ruby Stephens.

The seniors, looking forward to Ditch Day, were busy thinking up ideas for raising money. Serious planning for college and jobs and sadness at the thought of parting marked the last weeks of their year. The juniors had the Prom and Banquet on their minds; and even the sopho- mores and freshmen sponsored dances and looked ahead to their own class rings, and to eventual graduation. Classes Seniors approach graduation with memories CLASS OFFICERS—SEATED: Wayne Gardner, president; Richard Devoll, vice-president; Cheryl Stephens, secre- tary; Lorraine Moore, treasurer; Nathalie VanGundy, sponsor. STANDING: LeeAnn Lunt, Cecil O’Dell, stu dent council; Dean Honsinger, sponsor. Memories, memories, memories! The class of 1965 has many. Of the 43 mem- bers of the graduating class, 35 of them have been together since the eighth grade, or before. As low men on the high school totem pole--that is, as Frosh--some of them found how miserable it can be to have an older brother or sister in the Senior Class, but generally they found high school enjoyable, if different from grade school. The excitement of ordering and re- ceiving class rings and of playing host at the Junior-Senior Prom, as well as of presenting a Junior Class play, all provided plenty of initiation last year into upperclassmanship. Senior Year, with the Christmas Ball, ordering of announcements. Ditch Day, Graduation swished by all too fast for this class. As juniors, Sandra Gentry and Lorraine Moore found it hard to choose a ring style. RIGHT: Cake was to celebrate after class play delighted all.

With great pleasure we the staff of the 1965 WILDKAT dedicate its pages and memories to one of the most wonderful teachers Duncan High School has ever had, Mrs. Natlalie Van Gundy. She came to Duncan and taught for the first time in 1946 and has been a well known figure in the halls every since. Mrs. Van Gundy teaches English II, and journalism. As if this was not enough to keep her busy, she also acts as head librarian and is sponsor for the KAT CHAT and the WILDKAT. the class of ’65 had her with Mr. Honsinger as spon- sors to aid with their projects throughout high school. Yes, Mrs. Van Gundy, the Wildkats of Duncan High salute you for the outstand- ing teacher and friend that you have become.

A Note from Lee Ann I hope that the 1965 WILDKAT is successful in helping Duncan students, faculty, and staff to recall the memories of experiences which they have had at school throughout the year. Between the covers of this book are many pages filled with a clear-view calendar of this school year’s events. The joys, sorrows, disappointments, frustrations, and achievements which the Wildkats have shared are mirrored in the pictures and text. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the students and teachers who helped in the preparation of the book. Special thanks is due to Mrs. Nathalie Van Gundy, sponsor, for her work and supervision. My thanks go also to: Principal Floyd Chapman for his encouragement and backing. Counselor Charles Hicks for his help with the photography, and also to Terry Campbell, Harold Lunt, John Bruce Lunt, and Ronald Anderson. The students (pictured below) who in rotating crews so successfully sold advertising space, and to the merchants and other friends who purchased this space. Mrs. Mary Jane Arrington and Mr. Harvey Hartley for sweeping around' us and closing up after us when we worked late. Thank you all again. Editor AD SALESMEN—FRONT ROW; N. Merrell, C. Stephens, S.
