Climb Ev’ry Mountain’ As the students of Duncan High School take part in school life, they begin to set up goals for themselves. Even though they may not realize it, every activity and class period brings them closer to, or farther from, their goals. With the goals they set, come decisions. They have to decide what they want to achieve in life: whether they will take the long hard road to success, or the easier road to mediocrity. As they begin to fulfill their dreams, obstacles may come before them. But they must Climb Ev'ry Mountain, and even though the mountain may be very hard to climb, they must persist till they reach the very top. 4 WYLIE BOYD FRANK WILLIS Clerk Member Administration Ponders Interpretation DOUGLAS BRUBAKER Superintendent Experienced men sat on the Duncan High School District 2 school board and in the ad- ministration offices this year. Alfred Attaway and Frank Willis are serving in their fourth terms; Elvin Lunt is in his second; Roy Dozier and Wylie Boyd are both in the third year of their first term. Douglas Brubaker arrived in Duncan in 1929 to teach school. From 1935 to 1943, he was county superintendent of schools, but then re- turned to Duncan where he has been elementary school principal ever since. He became superin- tendent in 1952. Floyd Chapman graduated from Duncan High in 1949, returned in 1957 to teach and coach, and became high school principal in 1964. This year, a chief preoccupation of the ad- ministration and board was the interpretation of Arizona Senate Bill 2, the new school finance law. A school budget will be planned according to the per capita cost, determined from the es- timated ADA (average daily attendance) of the first six months of the following school year, and re-ad jus ted in March according to the actual ADA. % Bflfl ELVIN LUNT President ALFRED ATTAWAY Member ROY DOZIER Member Finance Law As It Plans For Duncan High Mr. Boyd and teachers enjoy ice cream at PTA.

And inbe- tween. . .? . . .All worked hard at becoming sophomores, at moving one more rung up the ladder of education, knowledge, life.

People Help Kats Morning, Noon, And Night To the buses for transportation, to the cafeteria for food, to the custodians for many services. . . The cooks served more than 700 students daily and overflow crowds loved their tacos, tostadas, fried chicken, and chocolate cake. The cafeteria workers dreamed of non- stick pans to make the dishwashing easier. Nightmares they had were about the three days when the dishwasher broke down and they had to do all the dishes by hand. Another group of helpers included Mrs. Mary Jane Arrington, Floyd (Topper) John- son, and Mrs. Marie Norte. Most of the summer before, Mary Jane and Topper, with boys to help, had planted flowers and shrubbery and started a rock terrace below the vocational arts building. Money for the shrubbery was a gift from the Class of 1967. Seeing the students early and late on school days were the 10 bus drivers, who tolerated the noisy gab but enforced strict safety rules. New on the crew, was Donald Merrell, fifth grade teacher. 28 CAFETERIA HELPERS, SEAT- ED: S. McCarty, D. Nelson, R. Daniel, R. Gardner. STANDING: K. Lunt, R. Lunt, C. Lunt, P. Torres, G.

Seniors Billie Boyd and Jim Morris were the honored seniors. In December, Mr. Hubert Bowman, spon- sor, took the student council officers to the annual convention of the Arizona Association of Student Councils, where delegates hear speeches and discuss with each other their problems and ways of developing closer ties between student body and faculty.

The club cooperated with the Future Homemakers on a Western- style dance, at which they presented a jacket to their 1968 sweetheart, Janeal Sexton. Dur- ing the year they made a hay rick to sell. They sponsored a rodeo in May and ended the year officially with a Parent and Son Banquet. At Recognition Day Banquet in Tucson, boys pose with sweethearts J. Sexton, B. Boyd. ABOVE LEFT: C. Lunt, G.

Runners-up in the secret balloting were Steve Valdez, junior, Joe Garcia, soph- omore, Ronnie Williams, freshman. A December highlight shared by the GAC with the volleyball team was the Parent and Daughter Banquet, at which Mr. Ned Merrell spoke on the theme of dedication and loyalty to team and school. A boys' quartet was a new feature at the banquet. Ronald Gardner, Charles Lunt, Randy Lunt, Charles Moyers sang We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Carols Gay We Sing. Marvin Gardner was accompanist.

Ac- cording to the school constitution, Students may purchase sweaters, providing such stu- dents have earned a varsity letter. The lettermen worked hard to raise funds, when they climbed the freezing Coronado Trail in the winter to cut Christmas trees and then stood in the rain to sell them. They used the profits to help buy a new scoreboard and time clock for the basketball games. Football players pack tight into bus for long trip, but Wayne Damron seems happy anyway.

Warming up with a march in the Duncan Rampage in September, the band swung into practice for football halftimes, and played at all home games through November. After the Christmas program, practice began for the spring music festivals. In the February meet, Carolyn Lunt, saxophonist, and Randy Lunt, trumpeter, earned supe- rior ratings and participated in the state band clinic. The Spring Concert and the April district festival saw seven outstanding Duncan in- strumentalists playing in the honor band concert. A magazine campaign netted enough for a spring trip to Tucson. Helping Director J. W. Santee this year was Shirleen Lunt, who checked out music and uniforms and filed music and kept uni- forms in order.

Students Get Stories, Put News In KATCHAT Marilyn Dyer, Nard Whipple staple papers, as Carolyn Dyer reads to check for mistakes. Write the stories, then type them; type stencils, write headlines; run the paper off on the duplicating machine; check pages, staple pages; and you have theDHS school paper, KAT CHAT. The job of getting the school paper out is the responsibility of the journalism class. In addition to producing KAT CHAT, the students learn the basic rules of journalism. These include the five W’s of writing a good story, (who, what, when, where, why), how to write headlines, how to start and finish a story; when to editorialize and when not to. This year the journalism class adviser was Mr. Brooks Norton. Mary Ann Martinez, Elsie Abeyta type stories in preparation for next issue of the KAT CHAT.

Gee, I didn't know working on the yearbook was so hard! In the yearbook class second semester were seven of the 26 members of the WILD- KAT staff. The students worked daily on lay- outs, captions, copy, and headline writing. In September, staff members attended a workshop at Eastern Arizona College, where they learned the do's and don'ts of yearbook planning and collected ideas for themes, lay- out, and photography. Annuals are signed and admired at first dance of the year, by Linda Willis, Wayne Rapier, and Donald Nelson.

Nurses and specialists came to check students for physical defects: silence prevailed during the hearing tests; kids made faces when oral polio vaccine was squirted into their open mouths! Some people jumped the gun on spring and shaved their pates, thus creating a small sensation at DHS. The library added new books to its shelves.

Dreams Come True For Seniors, Who Seek New Hills To Climb They had reached the top of the mountain, and now the '68ers found more mountains to climb, more streams to ford, more rainbows to follow. But first, they stopped for a look back and a look forward, and for congratulations from families and friends. With the school's chorus, they sang; the band played; the churches came for dedication and exhorta- tion. The Reverend Eric Scott of Clifton was Bacca- laureate preacher. At Commencement, the six seniors leading the class scholastically contributed speeches and prayers: Irene Paez, invocation; Randall Lunt, salutatory; Marilyn Jones, In Retrospect; Shirleen Lunt, vale- dictory; Charles Lunt, In Prophecy; Barbara Merrell, benediction. Three thrilling moments at last: presentation of diplomas by school board president Elvin M. Lunt; the magic crossing of the line from seniors to alumni with the turning of the tassels; the class's singing of the Alma Mater. The school year of 1967-1968 was over.

In Conference; Expect 16 Lettermen To Return The Wildkats had tough competition this year in thenewB-Eastopponents: Alchesay, Blue Ridge, Round Valley, St. Johns; and they traveled far to play Blue Ridge, about 200 miles, and St. Johns, about 270 miles. With a high percentage of first-year men, they competed well against strong Morenci and Alchesay. At Blue Ridge, they pulled it out in the last few minutes for a win. Against Alchesay, they gained three yards to every one of the Falcons'. Encouraging was the fact that of 18 men returning for 1968, 16 would be lettermen. On the whole, concluded Principal Chuck Chapman, this team was a young team, and they made mistakes, but they had depth, and they played good games against tough opponents. Watching from sidelines, coaches and players show concern for team's effort and success. FRONT ROW: R. Smith, T. Lovett, R. Johns, D. Damron, T. Crawford, R. Williams. MIDDLE ROW: D. Bourgeous, S.

JV Wins One of Six, Beating Morenci 9-6 Scoreboard DUNCAN OPPONENT 0 Morenci 41 13 Thatcher 43 0 Clifton 20 0 Clifton 38 0 Safford 13 9 Morenci 6 The Duncan JV football team was lacking in experience, as most of die sophomores play- ed with the varsity. They took a surprising win over the Morenci Wildcats, 9-6. This very im- portant win was their only victory. Coach Charles Foote tried to add to the aggressiveness of his team by putting on a hel- met and playing against them. The results, as put by Ronnie Williams: We smeared him as often as we could. Games and seasons start with a jump ball (left). The other pictures on this page show styles of shots used by JV players. Duncan Places Above Old Rivals in Basketball In the 1967-68 season, Duncan pushed itself ahead of the two old rival teams—Clifton and Thatcher—in the conference standings . Although the Wildkats placed fifth, they played many good games during the long 22-game season. Lordsburg, rated third in New Mexico, was upset, 63-60, in a success- ful attempt by the Kats for revenge of an earlier loss. The first home game against a new conference member proved exciting as Blue Ridge was downed by four points. However, this was the only game against the new rivals in which the Wildkats took the victory. Near the end of the season, the team traveled to Show Low to play Blue Ridge and Alchesay, and later toSpringerville to challenge Round Valley and St. Johns. The JV team this year seemed to be plagued by overtimes and a shortage of team members. For instance, the Safford game went into overtime twice; and the reason the Wildkats lost was that only three players finished the game! Five games during the season were sent into overtime, and former manager Jimmy Daniel was asked by Coach Gordon Stewart to dress out for the last two games. Some games were very exciting, such as the ones against Round Valley and Clifton. Others were a trampling for the visiting team. Blue Ridge was defeated by 42 points, 78-36. Although the team seemed to be friendly to the other teams, their yell before a game— 1-2-3-4, skin 'em alive, --didn't indicate it. 73 FRONT ROW: Steve Valdez, Steve Pace, Phillip Payne, Steve Preston, Charles Moyers, Coach Torres, James Morris, Randy Lunt, Sandy Pace.

Track Team Goes Far, Even With Slow Start After being rained out of the first four meets, the track team began its season on April 10 with a contest with Clifton. With only four returning lettermen, the track team was small. However, seven first-year cindermen showed promise, and the lettermen persuaded four seniors to join the team. After winning berths at district, two members went to state. Danny Richins won first in the 100-yard dash and third in the 440, and Keith Lunt took second in the mile. At the state track meet, Danny won third in the 440-yard run. In the top picture, Danny Richins and Keith Lunt keep in shape during the last week of track practice for the state track meet.

These games proved to be helpful, as the scores of return games with the Trojans and Eagles show. Even though both confer- ence games ended in defeat for Duncan, the Kats held Clifton to only five runs, and cut Thatcher's earlier score in half. With only two experienced seniors graduating, Coach Stewart hopes for a well-experienced returning team in 1969. Jim Morrisdemonstratesthatpitchersneedbalance; and Manuel Lopez practices batting by aiming at ball on pipe.

Kats, Kittens Take Trophies At State Meet For 24 of the past 26 years Duncan's tennis teams have won district meet championships or tied for them. The 1968 team climaxed its season with a first place team win at the district tour- nament and the Class B-C girls' team trophy at state. Carolyn Lunt and Billie Boyd teamed for district and state doubles titles. In singles, Vicki Pace earned thirds at both meets. Ethelyn Lunt and Becky Garcia placed second in doubles at the district. In boys' doubles, Sandy Pace and Donald Nelson, undefeated throughout the season, took district and state first place honors. Duncan's boys tied with Clifton for second place at state and combined with the girls to win top district honors. In the meet were also DeborahMorten- sen, David Lunt, Steve Preston, Richard Smith, Don Smith; and Don went to state.

Hopefuls and veterans of the Duncan teams began practice in the hot days of August and worked hard till mid-November to maintain the high reputation of Wildkat volleyball. Their season included 15 wins, three losses, and a second place position at theDuncan Invitational Tourna- ment. Their losses in regularly scheduled play were Willcox and Clifton; and it was to their ancient rivals, the Clifton Trojanes, that they surrendered in the finals of the tournament, as they had in 1966. Seven seniors—Billie Boyd, Vicki Chapman, Janice Johnson, Anita Lopez, Ethelyn Lunt, Linda Price, and Linda Walden—played their last forDuncan. Linda Price, handicapped by illness much of the time, saw less action than in former years. The second team had a 13-3 story to its credit; and a third group, with freshmen and sophomores, had a perfect record with 18 victories. What do we remember about the 1966 season?Well, we took a record player along on trips. We took in Rex Allen Day (when we played at Willcox), and we saw Governor Williams there. And we finally managed to get some boys into our Volleyball Banquet, when Ronald Gardner, Charles Lunt, Randy Lunt, and Charles Moyers, accompanied by Marvin Gardner, sang for the program. And of course, we remember the farewell speeches of the senior girls and the words of our guest, Ned Merrell. But most of all we remember our Super-Special Grade AAA Coach, who talked, watched, planned--in fact lived—volleyball all season as he guided us in habits of teamwork and sportsmanship.

You recall many happy hours and also times you may try to forget. This year has been a long, hard pull. Your fellow classmates and you, together, have had ex- periences that give your life a new twist. You have discovered the happiness of victory and the agony of defeat. At the conclusion of another year you begin to approach the top. The freshmen are stepping up to sophomores, .the soph- omores to juniors. . and the juniors. . .almighty seniors. The outgoing seniors separate at this point. Each one, in his own way, has fulfilled his goal or dream. But after you reach the top of one peak, others come into view, so the cycle begins again. . .and you per- sist. . . Till You Find Your Dream.

BOARD MEMBERS if E. , very one who has lived through a power blackout does—as well as most people who fear they might have to. And, of course, so do we. America’s rural electrics are providing reliable electric service to the millions of consumer-owners we serve. That means service free of blackouts. But we have a problem. The demand for electric power in our service areas is increasing by leaps and bounds, and keeping ahead is expensive. To help obtain needed growth capital, rural elec- trics have put forward a plan which will permit us to pool our collective credit. We’re working to secure passage of necessary legislation by Congress. We’re trying to solve our financial problems now ... before we are forced to solve them by candlelight.

In Retrospect Another page in the history of Duncan High School has been completed. The year has been filled with events. It was the goal of the WILDKAT to capture and retell the story of the happenings of 1967-1968. We hope that as you read this book you relived in- cidents, renewed acquaintances, and cherished the memories of this year, and will continue to do so. To thank all who made this book possible would be impossible, but credit goes to Mrs. Van Gundy for her help as adviser; to the faculty for cooperation in excusing us from class to meet deadlines; to students who gave special help in art and publicity; to the ad staff; and also to the many supporters outside the school who bought ads to help finance the book.
