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!

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
