T o morrow begins today with ACTIVITIES Members of clubs and participants in activities at Duncan High learn leadership for tomorrow. They build friendships. They learn the satisfaction of accomplishment. They discover the ways of others-- through student council meetings with students from other parts of Arizona; through Spanish Club and their studies of foreign-speaking lands. They learn responsibility through leadership and service. They begin with others, to work as they will later on.

Warm response meets Christmas requests Policy-making and school spirit are two responsibilities of the officers of Dun- can’s student body and the representa- tives of the classes and organizations. Among the student council’s projects during the year were the publication of the Wildkat handbook and the wel- coming of new students at an opening- of-school dance (which happened also this year to be a WILDKAT signing party). Meetings with representatives from other schools were useful for new ideas. The council sponsored a Western Day and dance in January, at the end of semester exams. At Christmas, they collected a pick-up- full of toys, food, and clothing and made up several Christmas gift packages for families of the community, and they reported that they and the givers were well rewarded by the pleasure of the surprised people who received them. ABOVE: Council members Shirleen and Keith Lunt test and mend toys and clothing. Below: Others store these in basement before dis- tributing.
