Mr. Brubaker came to Duncan to teach the eighth grade, later became elementary school prin- cipal, and since 1952 has been superintendent of schools as well as principal. Reared on a California farm, he was soon at home in the Dun- can Valley's farm and ranch country. To the school he brought an impressive record of athletics and of student leader- ship. ln Duncan, Mr. Brubaker worked hard at whatever he undertook. He held offices in county and state educational groupsg worked with the Boy Scoutsg served on the World War ll sugar rationing Board and has sat on the executive boards of the Methodist Church, the Arizona Crippled Children's Society, the Greenlee Associ- ation for Retarded Children, the Rotary Club, the Parent- Teachers' Association, and the Duncan Valley Electric C0- operative. His honors have included the Scouts' Silver Beaver Award, life memberships in the PTA and National Education As- sociationg honorary member- ship in the Future Farmers of America, and the naming of Duncan's chapter of the Future Teachers of America for him. As principal and superin- tendent, Mr. Brubaker has lis- tened patiently and answered wisely questions, suggestions, administrator, community leader DOUGLAS BRU BAKER and complaints, all the way up from the kindergartners' Mr. Brubaker, he took my ball. e He has substituted in the classrooms and on the bus runs, has in general superintended a smooth-running school system as he watched it grow in enroll- ment, land area, and facilities. He has shaken the hands of thousands of students, parents, and other friends in shared joys andgriefs. In dedicating this book to Douglas Brubaker Y friend, counselor, teacher, loyal citizen - we include his wife Margaret, also a loved teacher and church and community leader. We wish them health andjoy. And, Mr. Brubaker, may the cattle wax fat on the Lazy D 7, and may the fish bite, and bite, and bite - wherever you throw in yourline! ,X i ti.. 1972 Memories to keep When a year begins, how does anyone know which of its events he will rememberbest -A world- shaking events or person-mark- ing experiences? So - what happened and what was special at Duncan High in l97l-1972? Superintendent Douglas Bru- baker resigned, and Mr. Archie Stephens prepared to succeed him. Roses and shrubs began to grow and bloom for a third high school reunion. The class of '72 graduated, robed and capped in red. What happened varied in importance from person to per- son, but the staff hopes that as each person reads this book, he will re-live the days and keep the memories of all that l97l- l972 meant to him.

Students in welding class had many opportunities to learn on thejob. Another proj- ect was was the building of metal corral gatesg and Robert Lunt worked most of the year making gates for the cat and dog pens at the Safford Animal Hospital. 30 Vocational training in the building-on-the-hill ranged from drafting with quiet desk work to welding and auto mechanics with good grease-smudging, noisy labor. Mr. Bigler, a second-year member of the vocational staff, supervised projects like the in- stallation of additional electrical circuits in the building and diag- nosis and repairs on automobiles. This was his first year with the drafting class. Mr. Pace, a veteran of l6 years in the vocational agriculture de- partment, coached students in all sides of farm work and sponsored the Future Farmers of America. Mr. Cunningham came last fall from Shreveport, La. He prac- ticed his cooking skills with Mr. Pace and other members of the travel-cooking crew that served dinner for the annual faculty pic- nic and the FFA Parents and Sons Banquet. Vacations were the signal for him to rush to Shreveport to visit his wife and three teen-age daughters, whom he hoped to bring to Arizona.

Mr. Powell, a second-year teacher at Duncan, talked theory and drilled students with intense enthusiasm. With several kinds of perform- ances scheduled, he wasted no time, from band half-times through Commencement. He was Junior JV basketball coach and Sophomore Class sponsor. Mr. Clothier's art classes ex- perimented with oils, pastels, water colors, pencil. and pen and ink. He taught evening classes for adults also.

Besides collecting ab- sence slips, they operated the ditto and copying machines, ran errands, helped post grades, and typed lists. Teachers' helpers did varied jobs, including typing re- port cards and making bulletin boards. In the library, bulletin boards and window-decorating were fre- quent projects, as well as regular book work-checking out and checking in. A good part was work on new books, when librar- ians had first chance at new titles. Nurse Waters was now on duty full-time, and her office was a favorite place for anything from a bandage to a place to rest.

At the formal initiation cere- mony in April, the main speaker was Lloyd Payne, former Duncan High School teacher. Ever since the society was formed at DHS, the senior mem- bers have entertained the ini- tiates, sometimes at a banquet, sometimes at a breakfast.

Mr. Powell tries out tone of a baritone horn, James Nelson tightens tab, adjusts band suit overlay. TOP: Band section at football games served many purposes, including that of boudoir, meeting place for friends, even viewing the game. Many people not musicians liked this spot as a seating section. Toots and squawks, whistles and groans: that is what you could hear sometimes-in fact lots oftimes-in the band room al most every day, while teen musicians waited for Director Foy Powell's signal to get to work. The band began to practice in August, concentrating on march- ing, and continued to work on time, rhythm, and harmony all year long. First came home football games, with The Star Spangled Banner and half-time programs. Then out came the Christmas music for the December concert. Meanwhile band members sold magazine subscriptions to friends and relatives. With the profit, they bought a cooler that was the envy of other classrooms when warm weather came. A new baritone horn was a school purchase. After Christmas, people signed up for solo work for the spring music festival early in April, and if they hadnlt praticed much be- fore, now they did. Three instru- mentalists entered the solo and small ensemble section of the festival at Eastern Arizona College. Then came concentrated work by the entire band for the main festival in early May, and as soon as that was ended, graduation march tunes began to sound the signal for the end ofthe year. Concerts included Christmas and spring performances for Dun- can audiences, with a special one for the elementary school pupils, and one concert trip to Bowie and San Simon. 1' WOODWINDS: Charles Smith, Laurie Nelson, Louise Penning- ton, James Nelson, Mario Sanchez, Mary Ann Pennington, Mary Lou Gentry, Sammie Bailey, Toby Gentry, Kris Howard, Debra Thygerson, Stephen Smith, Becky Boyd, Brenda Gale.

With a Christmas tree for background, they separated into small group- ings to sing. An innovation this year was an Open House for both band and choir Christmas concerts, the music room bright with seasonal ornaments. At the solo-small ensemble festival in April at Eastern Ari- zona College, the boys' choir and soprano Debbie O'Dell rated A's, and the choir sang at the state festival in Tempe. Spring concerts included one for Duncan, one for the ele- mentary school, and one each at J Bowie and San Simon schools. A All participated in the EAC- est i hosted festival in May.

Sweaters Are prized rewards for performance in athletics Scott Lovett, newly announced Beau, wears sweater which Colleen Merrell has presented to him at GAC dance. Two groups that performed most of their action on the field or on the courts rather than in meetings or special events were the Girls' Athletic Club and the Lettermen. Mr. H.T. Clothier, longtime GAC sponsor, welcomed Mrs. Barbara Stauffer as co-sponsor. Mrs. Stauffer succeeded Mr. Clothier as volleyball coach, and also taught girls' P.E. and coached a softball teamg and Mr. Clothier continued as tennis coach. A tradition of many years was continued when the GAC spon- sored a girl-ask-boy-dance and presented a sweater to a favorite letterman, Scott Lovett. The girls earned money for club expenses by manning con- cessions at basketball games. The Lettermen, though they did not organize till spring, made plans for an active D Club in 1972-1973. Pep shirts and letter sweaters were constant reminders of the letter girls in the school. LETTERMEN, FRONT: Coach F.D.Chapman, R.York, R. Smith, M.Lunt, D.Carrell, Coach T.Davis. BACK: Coach L.

Though Principal Chapman, with several years' coaching experience, and his good assistant coaches worked hard with the team, luck turned against Duncan for a 0-10 record. However, there was cheerful talk for 1972 prospects, as the team would lose only six men through graduation. Both offensive and defensive lines looked good, said Coach Chapman. Senior Robert Lunt received honorable mention, all-conference, junior William Bennett was named to the all-conference second team. On the field, new wooden light poles replaced the collapsing metal ones, under- ground wiring was installed, a safety im- provement, and additional lamps increased the lighting by 12,500 watts.

In the district tournament, Duncan met Thatcher for the first time in the season. In a close game, Duncan came out two points ahead, and played Clifton for the championship. However, for the third time in the season, the Kittens met defeat, 9-l5, and took second place. Stand-outs for Duncan at the tournament were Sharin Morten- sen, with her spiking. and Karin Mortensen, with her defensive tactics.

They ordered announcements, were measured for caps and gowns, made history by voting to wear red for graduation instead ofthe blue that had become almost a DHS tradition. By graduation time, 20 had remained together from kindergarten days, including two sets of twinsathe Adens and the Lunts.

At first, said one girl, we had an awful time finding our classrooms! But by the time of initi- ation in October, they were about ready for the seniors to rub off the last greenness for them and to become regular Wildcats. Meanwhile, some were busy with fall sports, band, FFA, FHA, and other activities. A highlight of the fall was the building of their horse float for Homecoming game parade.

Yet that's just what it cost one co-op recently to replace an insulator broken by a very thoughtless fellow with a rifle and nothing else to shoot at. lt took over 75 man-hours and 180 miles of line inspection to locate and repair that insulator. The man who fired the shot just couldn't realize that he would cause all that trouble and expense. More important, he probably couldn't realize that the outage his stupidity caused would work a real hardship on many consumers on that line. And hardship doesn't just mean that those folks wouldn't have any lights. In the present emergency, farmers are depending more and more on electricity to help them do the job of producing the food and fiber that is needed. Our job is to keep the farmers supplied with that electricity, and to extend service to farms not yet electrified. Please don't make us take time from that job to repair equipment that wouldn't be damaged except for thoughtless shooting. We would like to ask every member of this community to do one thing: When you use a gun, use your head. Don't sabotage vital electric equipment.

We do not mention names, lest we forget someone. But we do thank all who co- operated as we asked for the privilege of taking pictures, we thank the teachers who cheer- fully provided us the information we needed to make our story accurate: and those who lent students for emergency work during school hours. We are grateful for the privi- lege of recording the story of this school year. 7Wbdk,EQww 437. zo QQm,,5T,cp E Diro R S 1 1 - :Y '1SSocir5XO LJLVJLLLQQA W 0 .
