They are yours; they are mine; they are ours! Together in the past year we shouted for joy about the great football season; screamed at the games and the pep assem- blies; admired the new corn popper; banged our lockers; ran for the cafeteria and the buses; grieved over partings. You and I formed friendships; fell in love; schemed over dates; studied for homework and tests, argued over the war. the draft, the President; laughed at jokes and at each other. Each one dreamed his own dreams; hoped his own hopes; feared his special fears. This 1970 Wl LDKAT is the record. 3 Editor K.Johnson, M.Delgado, M.Provencio (for WILDKAT King Manuel Torres), V.Richardson (for Queen Sharlene Richardson), runners-up N.Whipple, J.Garcia, D.Mortensen, R.Williams. Coach Werner seems to be seeing future victories for foot ball team, which provedoneof best in DHS history. Summer lingers As Kats begin classes and revive memories This was the year that would move people out of the sixties and into the seventies, but back-to-school didn't feel especially different. The weather was hot, but new students and new teachers added interestrasort of home- :oming gladness prevailed, as friends greated each other, and asked, What's new? The 1969 Wl LDKATS went to their owners at the student council's welcome dance, and memories of theyear before were taken out and dusted off. Classes were sleepy; flies and gnats buzzed; the drinking fountains did a great business. Coaches observed their teams and schemed for winningcombinations. The first Friday of October-no school, be- cause of the county fair. The weather was cooling. Vacation was almost forgotten. At county fair, before the judging, B.Lunt shampoos Hol- stein entry, who is more interested in breakfast. 5 CLOCKWISE: Ghosts leave for half- time on Packer Field; D.Lunt umpahs in band practice; strange man peers through face guard; D.Mortensen, V. Gale, L.Wilkerson, D.Richardson wait in metallic red and silver for pre-game; M.Lunt watches E.Scott, B.Kilbarger, Mary Jane, M.Claridge, W.Stephens roll up permanent Kat for players to burst through; G.Munguia comes out for air through ocean wave of pie. 6 Initiation, Halloween Step-up excitement of October calendar After the fair, report cards threatened, and students did some studying. With football games each week-end, the band played and marched daily, and the pep crews worked to perfect their routines. Freshman initiation, directed by the seniors, produced weird costumes and provided an afternoon's fun for grade and high schools on a perfect October day. White sheets metamorphosed into ghostly garments so witch Sherry Rich ins could lead a troupof ghosts in an eerie dance at the Clifton football game Oc. 30. The hours of pasting strips of paper together and using quarts of paint for Wildkats for the teams to tear through ended when Mary Jane Arrington and students painted a fierce Kat on canvas, cut a door in it, and taped it lightly shut. Now the big boys could rush through repeatedly; the little boys would no longer roll and scuffle in the scraps. Wildkats end Super sports season, plan holiday calendar October slid into November and in spite of holidays for teachers' convention, Veteran's Day, and Thanksgiving, the calendar was as packed as at any time all year. Volleyball season ended, leaving the Kittens in charge of the district trophy. Parents and girls celebrated with a banquet at which theseniors bade atearful farewell to team- mates and presented a 25-year trophy to their beloved Coach Clothier. Football season likewise ended on a tri- umphant note, when the Kats won the B East trophy. Homecoming honored moms and dads, the school's first football team, and student royalty. Miniature floats and the band's halftime performance added color. Seniors ordered graduation announce- ments and began planning for the Christmas Ball. On frosty mornings students crowded into classrooms and the library to talk and read the news. S.Nez, M.Archuleta, D.Montoya, A. Robles occupy one table in the library, where many check up on comics, horoscope, sports—sometimes even the news! TOP: Volleyball Banquet, with Thanksgiving theme, is cause for concentration of S.Williams, I.Carrell, who have persuaded K.Pace, R.Wil- liams to help letter and illustrate programs. RIGHT: R.Thygerson, stu- dent council vice-president, presents ID bracelets to Homecoming King J. Garcia, Queen D.Lunt. Runners-up: M.CIaridge, J.Carrell, W.Ritchey, C.

RIGHT: D.Rutherford, M.Claridge hustle cheerleaders' float with Kat mascott off the field before team returns for last half. 9 Basketball forms bridge From vacation gaiety to semester changes Christmas thoughts, sounds, and smells underlay the excitement of basketball season, as the FFA sold candy; the cheerleaders raffled a pooch; seniors began plans for the Christmas Ball. Pom pon and majorette halftimes pepped up the basketball games; homemaking classes made cookies, a mountain for the library Open House, lots consumed by the Home Ec. girls. Christmas tunes floated into the classrooms from the band room; KAT CHAT writers caught thespirit and produced a lively Christmas edition. The Wildkats took consolation place in the basketball tournament at Eastern Arizona College; the volleyball girls beat the alumnae in a local contest. After New Year's came semester exams; with second semester, many students changed schedules (no more driver training, no more pom pon-majorette class). The Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomor- row test; a Marine Corps test; the AIT test- all reminded theseniors that high school was nearly ended and plans must be made for the follow-up. 10 UPPER LEFT, opposite page: D.Ruther- ford dances in for a varsity game; TOP, senior royalty: class president J.Garcia prepares to crown King W.Ritchey.

Second semester: end of basketball; step- up in music practice; freshman dance; new library books; spring sports; shots, tests, and vaccinations. Fall and winter week-ends had been domin- ated by football and basketball dates, with volleyball crowding in just anywhere. Now other events moved in to fill the calendar. Joyce Shiflet, FFA Sweetheart, had received a pin at the Christmas Ball, and then a jacket. Randy Thygerson had been king of the GAC Dance in November. Now Doug Damron was revealed at a pep assembly as the Beau of the Future Homemakers of America. During the spring, the library blossomed out with bright-jacketed new books; Mr. Santee drilled students for the February and April festivals; Nurses Waters and Moser went to work to stamp out disease. People got the flu and spring fever; and the juniors got their rings and dreamed up a Prom of pink clouds and loving hearts. 12 B.Boyd, FHA president, honors homemakers' beau D.Damron, with pin. Later he wore the white FHA sweater. Informal attire and coiffures were OK when triple trio practiced for festival. Girls were chosen to sing in state festival also.

After the April 11 Junior-Senior Prom came the Sports Banquet; then pre-registration; a heat wave that did nothing to spark enthusi- asm for finals; the Awards Assembly; Gradu- ation. On May 23, Duncan students and alumni tried to say Thank you to J.W. Santee, who was retiring after 40years as DHS music teacher, and To Mrs. Irene Kennedy, retiring after 19 years as kindergarten queen. In 1930, Mr. Santee found an orchestra of piano, two violins, and a sax. Two years later he married the saxophone player, Miss Flossie Foster, and he had a band going that developed into 50 or more players and took first at the Sun Bowl parade and many festivals. He coached tennis for morethan lOyears, taught driver training, and was for many years a highly popular Junior class sponsor. Mrs. Kennedy, who had run many a step after her five-year-olds, bought aWILDKAT each year, beginning in 1964, as her graduates finished high school. Mr. Sanlee, Mrs. Kennedy, Superintendent Brubaker count a total of 92 years' service to Duncan Valley schools. RETIREMENT PARTY: C.Merrell. M.Claridge preside at guest books.

Mr. Dozier was re-elected in 1969 for a second term. In 1970 the men completed their fifth year together on the board. Mr. Brubaker greets Archie Stephens, county superintendent of schools, before Baccalaureate, 1969. In January, 1970, Mr. Stephens became assistant principal of Morenci High School, and Tom Wright of Clifton became county superintendent. Mr. Brubaker in 1970 completed his 18th year as superintend- ent of Duncan Consolidated Schools. Administration works For highest standards Hopes for improvements and headaches over problems complicated the decisions and planning of the administration and school board in 1969-70. An achievement was a summer school in reading improvement for elementary and high school students. Also, the board made plans for purchasing property near the elementary school for a parking area and above the high school buildings for a flood control program. Financial problems included one raised by a United States Supreme Court ruling per- mitting all registered voters a voice in bond elections. This conflicts with Arizona law, which restricts voting on financial matters to property owners. Litigation resulting in lowered tax valuation for the Southern Pacific Railroad warned of higher taxes for small property owners and the possibility of a de- crease in school funds. 20 DOUGLAS BRUBAKER Superintendent FLOYD D. CHAPMAN Principal in Duncan students' education Mr. Chapman introduces teachers to students at opening assembly on September 3. This was his sixth year as principal. 21 I.H. BOWMAN Mr. Bowman identifies engine parts for driver training students Vicki Silvers, Vicki Jensen, L.H. Dahners. Bowman, Clothier Spark heated business, political discussions H.T. Clothier came to Duncan in 1931. J.H. Bowman began his work as fifth grade teacher in I960, and at the high school in 1966. Mr. Bowman, as counselor, listened to problems, taught American government and driver training, and coaxed the seniors along, persuading them to apply for college admis- sion and scholarships. He drove buses to many out-of-town games and other events. Mr. Clothier also listened to problems, coaxed, comforted, and admonished. Few students have not been in his classes in typing or shorthand or bookkeeping, or on his tennis or volleyball teams. His teams are state-famous for honors won; his graduates are holding fine positions in the business world. Both teachers are active in Duncan com- munity life, Mr. Bowman as mayor since 1961, Mr. Clothier as city clerk since 1951. Mr. Bowman reviews chapter with M.Provencio, J. Garcia. TOP: He briefs secretary D.Rutherford. 22 While Jana Carrell (Arizona slim) models for Linda Lunt, Mr. Clothier discusses principles of portrait art.

English, history study Promoted by books, overhead projector In English and business theory classes, Mr. Merrell used books and workbooks; in English II, wide reading was in style, with many in- teresting paperbacks available, and students used the library for supplementary reading. Mr. Montoya, with four history classes, found the overhead projector-lecture method useful. Journalism, his fifth period class, was a laboratory in interviewing, writing, typing, and duplicator operation. Mr. Merrell came to Duncan High in 1967. Mr. Montoya, a DHS graduate of 1965, and a bachelor of arts from Northern Arizona Uni- versity, returned to Duncan in 1969 with his wife Esther, also a DHS graduate, and daughter Yolanda. In February, 1970, Yolanda's sister Anna Marie arrived. 24 D.Briscoe, S.Pace staple KAT CHATs. BELOW: K.Johnson, WILDKAT editor, has duplicating job for editor N Whipple, M.Delgado.

Vo-Ag develops Specific skills; English Learning to judge livestock and care for it; observing farm safety rules; studying the prob- lems of conservation—these are only some of the practical lessons taught in vocational agriculture. In the farm mechanics division, students tore engines apart and put them together again, learned techniques of welding and soldering; had other on-the-spot practice in work necessary on farms and ranches of the Duncan Valley. Field trips for judging contests and to farms and ranches in the area gave opportunity for observation. Directing these classes since 1956 was T.M. Pace. Different from vo-ag, yet basic to all careers are English and speech, where students learn the fundamentals of listening and speaking and become familiar with ideas of others, including the great people of all ages. Mr. Pettid, who came to Duncan in 1969, had taught at Brophy Preparatory School in Phoenix. He is an Arizona history fan, es- pecially interested in the story of the Oatman family massacre of 1851. His article on the sub- ject appeared in an Arizona Highways Maga- zine in 1968. 26 Seniors spent hours in library finding material for research themes. Here, M. Provencio, J.WamsIey use magazines.

Todd, D.Lunt, C.Hartley count time. Homemaking, music Satisfy artistic need, require careful work Homemaking sounds like work; music sounds beautiful. But the homemaker who sets a pretty table, makes a well-fitting dress, or does fine needlework feels like an artist. And how could she or anyone else work without the sound of music in the back- ground? Moreover, both the homemaker and the music maker know they have doing their thing —so essential in the 70s. Steering the homemaking students from September, 1969, was Mrs. Betty Price, a DHS graduate, who within one year kept house for husband Floyd and daughters Peggy and Terri; won her B.S. degree at Western New Mexico University; taught at Duncan High and sponsored the Junior Class; and on May 7, 1970, became the mother of a son, Raymond Franklin (Buddy). Mr. Santee, with memories of many fine bands and choruses, completed 40 years at Duncan before retiring in May, 1970. Mr. Santee gives last minute tips before spring concert. TOP: Small groups practice in chorus class. 29 General science class observes Earth Day by collecting trash. BELOW: M. Singer works magic in chemistry. In science, students Analyze, question; in shop, boys design, frame, sand projects Lining boxes with egg cartons to find out whether insulation really resulted; studying each square inch of ground to note the soil, the plants, and the animal creatures living to- gether; using flasks and test tubes to see how chemical elements act and react: so Mr. Leonard Smith taught his science students. Just graduated from Northern Arizona Univer- sity with a B.S. degree, Mr. Smith camelo Dun- can in 1969 with his wife Cinny. Son Tyler was born October 31,1969. Mr. Dan Stephens' industrial arts students learned to make plans and use them; to select wood; to care for tools. They made tables, bookcases, stereo cabinets, bowls and mugs, candelabras, lamps. In addition to indus- trial arts, he taught general math and draft- ing. This was his second year at DHS. Drafting class assignment was to design doors. Here, D. Lizarraga, N.Jones draw their designs for class. Mr. Stephens demonstrates use of surface planer for Shop II boys. Watching are M. Mortensen, j.Todd.

Math students kept Mrs. Street circulating among the small working groups, checking problems and giving hints. Mr. Tellez reviewed basic grammar rules and frequently tested his pupils' familiarity with current events by asking such questions as What is the Nixon Doctrine? This resulted in use of newspapers, the Reader's Guide, or parents. Mrs. Street, coming to Duncan in 1969 from a year's teaching at Tombstone High School, has the B.S. degree from the University of Arizona. Her husband Donald taught in Clifton, where they lived. Her subjects were Algebra I and II, geometry, and advanced math. Mr. Tellez, a second year teacher at Duncan, taught Engligh III and Spanish. Irene Mendez finishes conjugation of verb pagar.

Library, WILDKAT Help minds expand; P.E. develops brawn Along with searching for books and other materials to improve the library as a knowl- edge center, Mrs. Van Gundy and WILDKAT editor Kerry Johnson, with the assistance of Martha Delgado and others, puzzled over layouts, headlines, and copy. The yearbook grew larger by 8 pages than the '69 book, boasting this year of 116 pages. While the journalists and librarians toiled indoors, Coach Werner was leading the football boys through a triumphant season and was building up the physiques of most male Wildkats in the high school. Mrs. Van Gundy came to Duncan in 1946, and became full-time librarian in 1967. Coach Werner came to Duncan in 1969 with his wife Chris and three sons—Danny, 11, Randy, 8, and Robert, 6. Besides coaching, he taught five physical education classes.

Library, Office, Nurse Answer many needs of students, teachers Assisted by 25 students, Mrs. Nathalie Van Gundy maintained the DHS library for the 24th year in 1969-1970 and reported the number of books in the library at nearly 4000. The library served as a meeting place mornings before school and as a study hall when research papers were assigned, providing books both for business and for pleasure. Mrs. Loma McEuen, secretary and book- keeper, kept things running smoothly in the office with the assistance of office girls, who also helped out in the grade school and in various classrooms. Mrs. Barbara Waters, school nurse, began working on a new schedule in 1969, coming to school four days a week instead of three as in past years. Often working with Mrs. Louise Moser, county health nurse, she kept an eye on the health of DHS students, giving them everything from small pox vaccinations to eye examinations. K.Johnson, L.Waters, G.Pace, M.Delgado make Christmas decorations for the library windows in first period class. 36 TOP: Mrs. Waters prepares D.Smith for small pox shot.

A new rule required advance an- nouncement of each week's menus. Sometimes the ladies' customary good nature was slightly strained when their helpers played games with dish towels and the spray rinse. On the daily bus run, two new drivers were Floyd Johnson and Dan Stephens, Floyd (or Topper) already being custodian, and Dan Stephens adding this to his regular teaching duties. Drivers rotated on the new buses bought by Iven and Antone Thygerson for the Virden run, as various members of the Thygerson family took turns.

Student Council Backs amendment on cheerleaders' election Psychedelic posters, speeches, lollipops, and chewing gum attended the campaign for 1969-70 student body officers. Members assisted in welcoming new teachers; posted anti-litterbug signs; ushered parents at the PTA Open House. The Student Council recommended an a- mendment to the student body constitution concerning cheerleader elections. Adopted by vote of the students, its main points are: (1) Candidates may not be varsity athletes; (2) Candidates may be screened by tryouts before a faculty committee; (3) Cheerleaders are re- sponsible to their sponsors; (4) Voting will be for individuals, rather than for groups.

National Honor Society Presents golden keys to 15 eligible juniors Honor students led by president Kerry John- son and sponsored by Mrs. Joy Street were leaders in Duncan High's activities during the year. To meet expenses for initiation, they spon- sored a Valentine telegram service, each Valentine's cost being based on how it was delivered—typed, spoken, sung. Also they raffled valentine-decorated cakes at a basket- ball game. In March the society honored its 15 initiates at a breakfast, when the guests received the symbolic golden keys hung on purple ribbons. Parents and teachers were invited guests at the candlelight initiation.

A successful money raiser was the raffle of 10 cakes at a basketball game. Not only did they taste good; they looked pretty, with so many homemakers competing in decorating their creations. Most of the girls helped construct a large red and white rocket for the FHA homecoming game float. Doug Damron received the FHA Beau sweater, placing first out of 12 candidates. Seven girls attended the state FHA con- vention in Phoenix in February. In a Secret Sisters project, members ex- changed Christmas gifts and Valentines.

This year PEP CLUB membership was open only to those who were free to fill the rooters' section at games. Sup- porting the more glamorous cheerleaders, they made the noise to cheer the teams. The Douglas Brubaker chapter of the FU- TURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA renewed its affiliation with the national FTA (it had lapsed since 1965). Members teamed up often to substitute in the elementary school for a day or half day at a time.

High-Flying Wildkats Soar through 6-1 season to tie for top position Joy, suspense, and a sigh held the Wildkats during the 1969 season, when the Duncan team under Coach George Werner and As- sistant Coach Ned Merrell won seven games in succession and then lost to ROUND VALLEY in a game that could have been Duncan's pass to play in the state tournament. In season play, they tied with the Elks for the B East championship. After losing their first (to MORENCI), the Kats played BLUE RIDGE, holding the Yellow Jackets to 71 yards. Filling in for injured Doug Damron, Lloyd Waters completed four passes out of seven for 200 yards and made two TDs. The ALCHESAY game, though one of Duncan's poorer ones, saw the Kats outpass the Falcons 240 yards to 70 and run for 132. At THATCHER, the Kats held the Eagles to 53 yards. The next three games were special, as Dun- can's victory over LORDSBURG was its first in 11 years; over strong ST. JOHNS, pivotal for the season; over CLIFTON, its first in 18 years. Against the Mavericks, passes by Waters and Damron to Clouse resulted in scores on two 2-point plays. Final score: 16-14. In the 58 Referees (Attaway too) signal that Smith has gone over for six points (second touchdown) for Wildkats in Clifton game in B East Conference last two minutes of play against the Redskins, Ron Williams intercepted a pass on the 25-yard line, caught a 50-yard pass from Damron, and ran for a TD to make the score 7-0. The Kats topped the Trojans 15-12 after Randy Thyger- son, substituting for injured Joe Garcia, caught a key pass; Damron marched the Kats from the 48-yard line to the three, just after Clifton had scored; and Tom Lovett kicked the crucial field goal. At FORT GRANT, Damron passed for 261 yards. Thygerson caught four passes for 85 yards and ran for 31, totaling 116. Though the Kats' offense in the ROUND VALLEY fight was the weakest of the season, they controlled the ball throughout, and defensed the Elks' passes well enough to hold the opponent to one TD for a 0-7 score. Nine Duncan players received B East All- Conference mention in the '69 season. Named to the first offensive team were quarterback Doug Damron, tailback Joe Garcia, flanker Guy Clouse. Defensively, the only first team member was Wayne Ritchey at outside line- backer.

JV football team Uses tough workout to insure varsity success Twenty-two boys made a good showing in the '69 JV football season, shaping up as good material for the 1970 varsity. Opposition was tough, Morenci's JV looking like Duncan's varsity, according to Coach Dan Stephens, and Pima's powerhouse including players who' later helped the Roughriders earn Class C state championship. The Kats and the Clifton Trojans split. “In the first game, we couldn't do wrong; the sec- ond, they couldn't do wrong, said Coach Stephens. Terry Arrow and Eddie Harris moved late in the season to the varsity. Injuries to running backs Ernie Lopez and Dan Bourgeous further handicapped the team.

Basketball Kats Develop skills, gather Our 12 wins against 13 losses represent one of the best season's records for Duncan's basketball teams in the past 10 years, said Coach Ned Merrell in commenting on the Wildkats' 1969-70 season. The conference record, 10-9, was even better, as three of the non conference losses were to Class A Mor- enci, and one was to Class AA Safford. Highlights were Duncan's placing third in the Holiday Tournament sponsored by Eastern Arizona College; and winning the consolation trophy in the B East district tournament. Both achievements were special cause for pride, as they were the results of victories over the Wildkats' arch rivals, the Clifton Trojans. Ron Williams was chosen for the All-Tourney Team in the Holiday Tournament, after scoring 60 points in three games and hitting 26 of 32 free throws. Also, Ron earned a place on the All-Conference second team. 62 Varsity Scoreboard DHS Opp. 61 Morenci 79 67 Fort Thomas 63 59 •Thatcher 61 58 Safford 78 64 Lordsburg 61 45 •St. Johns 84 51 •Round Valley 66 73 •Alchesay 67 57 •Blue Ridge 72 69 •Clifton 60 74 •Fort Grant 55 71 •Thatcher 61 73 •Fort Grant 49 65 •Round Valley 76 51 •St. Johns 86 61 •Blue Ridge 70 68 •Alchesay 75 61 Morenci 90 52 •Clifton EAC INVITATIONAL 45 73 •Thatcher 61 44 Morenci 76 56 •Clifton 39 DISTRICT TOURNAMENT 54 •Blue Ridge 73 58 •Thatcher 51 68 •Clifton 43 •Conference games Wayne Attaway goes in for a good shot ahead of Clifton guard.

Several men, quite inexperienced at the beginning of the season, were just reaching varsity caliber by season's end.

The team played in 18 contests, ending with a 5-13 record. Top performers were three juniors—Larry Montoya, Mike Jones, Gilbert Renteria; and sophomore Ed Harris. Montoya was leading scorer; Harris was top rebounder.

Clothier's Duncan Maids celebrated their most successful volleyball season in five years, with a 17-2 record, topped by the championship win at the Willcox In- vitational Tournament. On the first six were Jana Carrell, Dorothy Mortensen, Sue Pace, Sherry Richins, Cindy Thygerson, and Shelley Williams. Second team girls were Marie Claridge, Patti Davis, Vada Gale, Deborah Lunt, Gloria Serna, Vivian Villa. A third team—Virgie Aden, Becky Boyd, Berniece Bennett, Joni Foster, Colleen Merrell, Vicki Sanchez—were a- warded letters. They played in varsity com- petition several times. Altogether, 43 girls tried out for team positions. Coach Clothier, who completed in 1969 his 25th year as coach of the Duncan volley- bailers, was surprised when the team pre- sented him a personal trophy in gratitude for his service. In Mr. Clothier's first 25 years as coach his Kittens took 14 first place tournament wins and 13 second places. He estimates that his teams played about 1,030 matches and won about 940, a record of better than 90 per cent. J. Carrell spikes as M. Claridge, V. Villa watch. TOP: S.

After him were Ron Williams with .363; Mike Rit- chey with .323; Manuel Lopez, with .303. Though Garcia was also the team's most effective pitcher, sophomore Don Montoya won two games early in the year. Williams was an outstanding defensive baseman; Ernie Lopez made some great plays in center field. Manuel Lopez was a vastly improved catcher from the 1969 season. Said Coach George Werner: This was a young team, which will be a championship contender in 1971. Ball can be seen after Montoya pitches to Garcia. 68 Kat slides onto second base in Bowie game.

Clothier's white-clads sped through the 1970 tennis season with their record nicked by only one loss (by the boys' team to Willcox; they later defeated the Cow- boys). The girls had no losses in regular play. The Kats were champs in both the district and state tournaments. At the district, in Thatcher, they totaled 22 points, their runner- up, Clifton, scoring 14. Brothers Don and Richard Smith took top doubles honors at both district and state. Charles, the third Smith brother, placed third in the district. Singles player Gary Pace took a first at the district; a fourth at state. D.Smith uses backhand stroke. He was named team's Most Valuable player. BELOW LEFT: B.Bennett takes break. Shelley Williams and Jana Carrell, after play- ing together for only a short time, were district runners-up and state champions, defeating four strong teams in the latter tournament. Dorothy Mortensen, Duncan's No. 1 girl, was defeated only once in the season, and was district champion. Deborah Lunt and Berniece Bennett played six contests in the Thatcher tournament, losing once to St. David and defeating them later to take a third. This was Coach Clothier's 35th year as Duncan High tennis coach.

Seniors say, 'Memories will stay, endure, a part of us' Leaving DHS, the Class of 70 looked back on the years together as a cornerstone; on their experiences as a mold—the fun, the work, the learning now a part of them. We've made our memories ' one senior said. We've left our mark on others at DHS. Perhaps in time they will forget—but folded in our past the memories will remain with us. And these memories? Nineteen lost freshmen entering high school; new friends entering; turning the tables on the seniors at Initiation; The Play Day water riot; the treasure hunt for a Prom band; school trips; showers after practices; the final singing of the Alma Mater; and, last, the tears of parting.

First to graduate in the seventies, their last year coinciding with the last year of Mrs. Irene Kennedy, with whom almost half of them began school, and with the last year of J.W.Santee, who had taught the parents of some of them! Last year of the cedar trees that for many years had breathed fragrance and added beauty to the desert campus! First class without an overnight Ditch Day! First class whose men were affected by the draft lottery. First class after man's first landing on the moon. Two members were already married; one was a father. Several would leave during the summer for Army, Navy, or Marines. They graduated in a year of war and pro- test. What would be their future?

On December 27, she was suddenly gone from the world where her friends still danced and worked and laughed. . . and cried. Janeal loved life, and fun, and her family, and her friends. Especially did she cherish her little brother Patrick, to whom she had become a second mother. In school, she had been a member of the girls' glee club and of the Future Homemakers; she had been a pom pon and a cheerleader; and the Future Farmers had chosen her their Sweetheart. Now is a great and shining company. Choired likestars beforethe break of day. So radiant, their silence is likesinging. Like mist of music down the Milky Way; There is no death, nor change, nor any ending. Only a journey, and so many go, TOM MONTOYA April 1,1948 - February 19,1970 Class of 1968 Tom, U.S. Army Specialist Four, was killed by an exploding grenade in Vietnam, where he had been since July, 1969.

These include merchants for financial support; teachers for loan of students in class time and for helping us to report the facts; Principal Chapman for his loyal support in many ways. Also, wethank Charles Scrib- ner's Sons for permission to quote on page 112 lines from the poem, Resurgam, by Struthers Burt; David Lizarraga for his photography; and the Senior Class who, because of a desire for a memorial to Janeal Sexton, contributed $60 to the yearbook treasury. We hope the 1970 WILDKAT will give each reader many hours, even years, of pleasure for recalling the experiences of the Duncan Wildkats in 1969 and 1970. 116 I . JJ 1
