Duncan High School - Wildkat Yearbook (Duncan, AZ)

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1973 volume:

2 And the flood came And would not be forgotten It was a long winter and a long school year, and people would date many events by the flood of 1972. Old timers remembered the flood of 1941—but that had been so long ago! On a perfect, sunny Octo- ber morning, reports from up-river said high water was coming down. While Duncan folk watched through the night, the dike broke, the wa- ters rolled in, and the Duncan Elementary School stood lonely in a wet sea. No more dances or assem- blies in the grade school gym; no football, baseball, or Freshman Initiation this year on the field. Doubling up in the high school buildings; temporary classrooms for the upper grades; plans for a new elementary school on higher ground, safely above possible future floods. Good-Bye, Duncan Elemen- tary School, as Kats of al- most 50 years remember you! CONTENTS The Year 4 Studies. Staff 18 Activities 40 Sports 60 Classes 76 Ads 90 Index 118 3 FROM TOP: “Liz'' Aker Tea.

Mrs. Mary Jane Arrington and Topper Johnson and helpers moved loads of dirt, and seeded, leveled, mowed, and repair- ed. Teen crews cleaned and polished. Two thousand people ar- rived in Duncan Aug. 18-19 for the Reunion, meeting Friday at an Open House; pa- rading down town Saturday morning before filling the gym for a program of sing- ing, remembering, and out- yelling each other (class yells, that is); and finish- ing that night with a good old-fashioned dance—the kind Duncan Punkin Eaters and Wildkats had loved for almost 60 years. 4 Yearbooks tie ’72 events to ’73 expectations Honor and affection filled the tribute paid to J. Vernon McGrath, who an- nounced his resignation as Reunion chairman; and unani- mous approval backed the choiceof Wylie Boyd as his suc- cessor. The next week, registra- tion, begun in the spring, was completed; teachers met for an opening meeting; the student council planned the Back-to-School Dance. The council’s Stamp Out Litter Bugs and Phil D. Bar- rel cans dotted the campus. The back yard picnic tables were again in use—not for picnics; just for cozy chats and warm weather loafing.

(P.S. The hex didn't work.) TOP: Charming cheerleaders were L.Mortensen. J.Crotts, K.Clouse. M.Hargis. Homecoming, at the Sahuartia game Oct. 13, meant a whole week of activity: a pep assembly and a rally with burning of Sahauraita effigy; class competition for colors, cheering, bringing wood for the fire. It meant Homecoming king and queen and recognition of senior football men. September’s last game had featured pep squad program saying V-O-T-E. Oct. 6 was a holiday because of the county fair. Then, suddenly, further fall plans were forgotten in the excitement and urgency of the flood that swept over the football field, ruined the elementary building, forced a week's vacation, drew people, including Wildkats, to clean-up, sweep-out operations. Freshman Initiation was canceled; other fall events were canceled, postponed, or moved to other locations. 6 1971 Queen M.Belsher (RIGHT) greets B.Offutt. S.Lovett. 1972 Homecoming queen, king.

By the end of the month, the elementary students were in their temporary buildings; a new semester had shaped up; and Wildkats were beginning to make up for lost time, socially. The FHA had a Fabulous Fifties Dance; the Spanish Club had a supper; and the seniors dreamed of graduation. Though holiday pace Is slow, events Though the flood had receded, it left many after- effects, including cancellation of winter plans. The gym, used for a month by flood-relief agencies, was closed to school activity. But football and volleyball schedules were completed, and the volleyball girls won the state championship, though the going was stormy for a while during the finals. December found the gym free for Wildkat action again, B.OFFUTT: Another announcement! S.ABEYTA's pinata is pride of Libros' Christmas party. S.LOVETT: Con- centration on report.

With spirit-raisers for games, 10 club projects As basketball season neared its end and winter went out with snow falling and the Gila rising again, the student council, cheer- leaders, and pompons stirred Wildkat spirits with stunt- accented pep assemblies, pompon sales, Color Day, Parents’ Night, halftimes. Social highlight was the annual FHA-FFA dance, with a Valentine theme and a checking station for boots and shoes. The Sweetheart and Beau, chosen but not announced, would be recog- nized at the clubs’ spring banquets. The American flag flew at half-mast for Harry. S. Tru- man and Lyndon B. Johnson. Not since the deaths in 1826 of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had America mourned two presidents at the same time. WHILE FLAG was at half-mast for two presidents, it was saluted at school functions.

After one last gasp of winter (snow fell March 14), the sun came out; the ground began to dry; but Coach Stauffer said her softball girls wore fins for practice; and the baseball team moved to the fairgounds. Spring caught young men's fancy, as usual. In 1971, it had been yoyos; in 1972, the frisbee; now it was pitching pennies. Juniors began work on the the Prom. Like the FHA-FFA and GAC dances, it was held in the high school gym; unlike them, it was not a sock dance. One Friday, with coaches and teams away, the student council sponsored a Junior Olympics with many undignified events (archery and shot put resulted in bare chests sticky with coke and ice cream); and lots of spirit points (juniors edged seniors for most). Long live spring! 12 JUNIOR OLYMPICS champion Pie-Eater was K.Mortensen. SPRING finds ag shop boys helping baseball team weld and set up backstop. SPRING FEVER 1973 means pitching pennies. D.Crawford, here pitching, was said to be champion. 13 Events crowd calendar While May’s days tumble along faster, faster BOOSTERS' ROOSTERS crowed loud and often at Sports Banquet Program in Mav. Now it was May, and the seniors' days till...” were shrinking. Events snowballed: the FFA and FHA hosted parents at banquets; the Town Kats, new DHS booster club, sponsored a sports awards program. Posters plastered the walls advertising the virtues of candidates. Class and club elections followed the general. Last came the Awards Assembly, Baccalaureate, Commencement. The seniors turned their tassel: 48 new DHS alumni had been born. K.HOOPER receives Star Greenhand award; Y.WALTERS is installed incom- ing FHA president; B.OFFUTT presides at elections. 14 J. D.

Willis. 20 Administration Faces Special Difficulties Changes and emergencies marked the year for the ad- ministration and board of education. The retirement of Frank Willis after 13 years as a school board member brought in Grant Howard as the board's |unior member. Mr. Howard's daughter Kris- ann was a senior, and son Dale a freshman in 1972-73. After the retirement of Douglas Brubaker in 1972, Archie Stephens became su- perintendent of schools. In August, he and his wife Jan- ice welcomed their fourth child, Kyle, who joined sister Crystal and brothers Jeffry and Eric. Mr. Stephens, a 1957 Dun- can High graduate, received the B.S. degree at Grand Canyon College, and the M. Ed. at Arizona State Univers- ity. He taught eighth grade four years and science in high school one year in Duncan. He served as Greenlee County superintendent of schools and as Morenci High School principal before returning to Duncan. Mr. Chapman, a 1949 DHS graduate, received his B. Ed. and M. Ed. at Northern Ari- zona University, returned to Duncan in 1957 to teach and coach, and became principal in 1964. With the flood in October, emergencies piled in. Mr. Stephens met with architects, inspectors, and government representatives before the decision was made to aban- don the flood-damaged ele- mentary building and to re- build. Mr. Chapman was busy re- arranging the school sche- dule when elementary class- es shared high school rooms till temporary buildings ar- rived for fifth through sev- enth grades. Also, he de- signed a revised schedule for 1973-74. to eliminate the float system and 70-minute periods and to permit all six periods to meet daily. High school enrollment dropped slightly from 1971- 72: the elementary rose a- bout 135 over what had been expected for the year. ARCHIE L. STEPHENS Superintendent FLOYD D.

JOHN ARMSTRONG substituted first in English II and in business classes; then in English I and IV and in directed reading. Here he consults with seniors George Munguia and Dolores Montoya on assignment for English IV. JUST AN INTRODUCTION to scansion, was one of Mr. Pasco's units. In English, Spanish, Words, words: result is good, Literature and grammar; language and understanding: these were important in the study of the English and Spanish languages. Said Mr. Tellez: “We spent about one-third of the time on literature, and the re- mainder on grammar and writing themes, working all along on comprehension. We increased the amount of oral work, using current events and book reports.” “In Spanish,” said Mr. Tellez, “we stressed oral work and memorizing; prac- ticed on accents; and studied the cultures of Spanish- speaking peoples.” Said Mr. Pasco: “I tried to help students develop the ability to reason, and to be self-reliant about thinking out a problem through rea- soning. “We had plenty of vocabulary drill also. 22 use them well: clear language DON TELLEZ.

Laws of science, math can be Opinions don’t matter too much in science and math, with two plus two making four, no matter what you’d like; with fetal pigs usually having two eyes each; and with two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen surely forming water. So Mr. Merrell, changing this year from English and business; Mr. Lindsey, coming daily to Room 12 from his wood shop; and Mr. Davis in his lab studied with their students the rules, excep- tions, and wonders of mathe- matics and science. 24 depended on C.WEISLING.

E.Lopez paint candles for law-economics project; DWIGHT PAYNE keeps up with bookkeeping assignment; MALISSA HUGGINS turns up dress hem; NYLA CLOUSE has variety of duties as Mr. Clothier's secretary. Typewriters clacked; sew- ing machines hummed; adding machines clicked; bacon 'n' eggs sizzled. And this year something new: business classes conducted real bus- iness projects. Typing budgets and speed tests; shorthand dictation; fearsome bookkeeping tests: nobody got an A from Mr. Clothier without hard work. To give students experi- ence in personal and bus- iness finance, Mr. Stephens required projects. These included a car wash business and sales of gift items. Some learned how to make a profit. All learned how easy it is to fail. Homemaking girls cooked, and learned to use patterns and to work with various kinds of fabrics. They received in- struction on grooming, table setting, and care of babies, children, and invalids. Happy endings to the year: The Town Kats named Mr. Clothier Teacher of the Year: the student council named Mrs. Powell TOY; and the Powells’ daughter, Renee Marie, was born May 21. H.T. CLOTHIER.

Acting out such scenes was one method used to bring alive the events and charac- ters of history and excite students' interest in the past. Of course, it wasn’t all fun and games.

Also, through Mr. Montoya's efforts, Duncan High was accepted as a participant in the model United Nations for 1974. Seniors studied with Mr. Bowman the theories behind the operation of government- federal, state, and local— bringing up to date and near at home the application of history and the lessons learned or not learned by lawmakers in applying his- tory to the formation of policies and the practice of government. The presidential and local elections of 1972 gave the seniors practical knowledge of one phase of American government.

Mr. Bigler welcomed all kinds of car troubles, so that future auto mechanics could diagnose troubles and prac- tice repair work. He taught the principles of electricity also, from simple wiring on a model to actual installation. Mr. Crotts’s agricultural lessons ranged from book study to judging and identi- fying grains, to home farm projects with plants and animals, to metal shop work. The boys learned to use the school’s new equipment for wrought iron work. Mr. Lindsey taught the skills of drafting: in his wood shop, the boys made models of house frames, built chests, gun racks, and other items for gifts and for thier use.

Offer chances Enjoyment was a key word for students in band and chorus classes who loved the sound of music; for artists who appreciated color and balance; or for crafts stu- dents who relaxed when mak- ing things with their hands. Art students worked in a variety of media, from pencil to oils. Several were prize winners at the county fair. Celia Merrell's work won her a college scholarship. Woodworking, leather tooling, glass cutting, de- coupage were some of the projects the arts and crafts classes experimented with. Day after day in chorus, it was up and down the scale and perfecting parts. In band, the mixed-up sounds were wild! Yet, when Mr. Powell’s baton gave the signal, harmony won out; and squeaks sounded less as students mastered their horns. 32 FOY G. POWELL. Instrumental and Vocal Music.

The Weight-Lifting Club had 12 members qualifying for the 200-pound minimum, and several exceeded that. In a two-on-two basketball tournament, Jerry Pena- Ralph Ortega were the champs. Coach Barbara Stauffer used seven kinds of trials to test the girls. Susan Brown- ell.

Except for the first week, this was in ad- dition to regular school cook- ing. Shorter meal periods for the children required speedi- er serving and clean-up until the end of January. Topper Johnson cleaned, moved furniture and equip- ment, shuttling back and forth between the schools to help new custodian Bob Buck- ner prepare for the tempor- ary buildings. All custodians did extra cleaning because of the six elementary classes meeting in the high school. The bus drivers, four of them teachers, helped clean damaged rooms and equip- ment.

Junior Olympics, pom pon and button sales, a candy raffle, school dances; inter- school meetings; work on a constitutional revision plan: never was such a busy year for a Duncan High School stu- dent council! Led by President Santry Elmer and assistants Bonnie Offutt and Kris Howard, the council promoted school spir- it with a carefully designed program, giving each class Spirit Trophy points for at- tendance at games, purchase of pom pons, contribution to the Valentine Queen contest; wearing colors on Color Day; performance at the Olympics. The council recognized ser- vice by naming Wildkats of the Months. Because of cancellation of the usual elementary school activities after the flood, the student council entertained kindergarten through eighth grade classes at a party, fea- turing junior high and senior high school music, Santa Claus, and a movie.

To interest students in school government and legal careers, a bar examination was offered. A traditional activity was the back - to - school dance in September. A new prac- tice was granting Spirit Tro- phy points for attendance at council-sponsored dances. In April, Duncan enter- tained the Clifton and Mo- renci governing bodies at a chicken dinner and a work- shop. In late spring, the council directed the all - school carni- val and student body elec- tions for 1973 - 1974; and members worked many hours on a revision of the consti- tution to encourage more student participation in school activities and better student body government.

A superior rating for the choir at the Eastern Arizona District Music Festival in April crowned a year of practice and performance for Duncan choral groups. At the Christmas concert, the Wildkat Choraleers, a mixed ensemble, made their debut, with four numbers. In January, at auditions for Class AA. A, B, C schools of southern Arizona, Chris Weisling was chosen to sing in the All-State choir at Ar- izona State University, where he earned a silver medal. Rated Superior for his solo at the district festival for solos and ensembles, he was invited to participate in the state festival in Tempe. After the April festival, the choir made a concert tour to Ft. Thomas schools, presented a concert in Duncan, and par- ticipated in high school grad- uation ceremonies.

Thousands of pictures and millions of typed words were tried, and most of them re- jected. before the WILDKAT took its final form. Returning staffer Santry Elmer, business manager, headed a program, which, with advertising sales and yearbook subscriptions, made the WILDKAT a com- plicated business effort.

To interest more students in scholarship and service, and therefore to persuade them that National Honor Society membership is truly a desirable goal, was the pur- pose of NHS in 1972-73. With this aim, and with Don Tellez as adviser, the mem- bers began a revision of the chapter constitution. To continue the traditional project—a college scholar- ship for a senior member— the group sponsored a bas- ketball concession, sold Val- entine telegrams, and manned a booth at the spring carnival.

In addition to their usual program, the GAC sponsored a bake sale, a cake raffle, and a basketball concession, and the members bought red jackets. Main D Club project was sponsorship of a student- faculty basketball game in January—which the faculty won handily—making two years in succession teachers and coaches had proved that kind of superiority to the students. Proceeds from the game paid for red jerseys for the baseball varsity, T shirts for D men, and red jackets for senior members. D CLUB.

Two-a-day practices and tough workouts put the team in shape, and in spite of handicaps, including a field ruined by the October flood, the Kats wound up the sea- son with a 5-4 record and a third place in the B East Con- ference. Five seniors earned con- ference honors. Bill Bennett made first team, defense. Honorable mention went to Lynn Cox, guard; Mike Har- gis, end; Rudy Lopez, corner back; and Scott Lovett, quar- terback. To open the season, the. Kats skinned Ft. Grant, beat Alchesay, played a good if heartbreaking near-tie with Benson; crushed Baboqui- vari; then lost to Sahuarita. Then came the flood and two losses; one to Thatcher, play- ing on Eastern Arizona Col- lege's field after a week of typhoid shots, sore arms, and only three practices, and with two frosh subbing for regular players to start; the other to Hayden, playing on the Bull- dogs’ field in Safford.

That flood ruined our field,” said Scott Lovett, but it sure didn’t ruin our prac- tice.” The boys worked out during the latter half of the fall in the rodeo arena of the Greenlee County Fairgrounds. SEASON’S SUMMARY For the first two of three touchdowns against FT. GRANT, Lovett threw a pair of passes connecting from 50 yards to Abeyta, and from 72 yards to Crotts, and the conversions succeeded. Lopez and Hargis scored on safeties. In the ALCHESAY contest, Lovett scored from a yard out in the first half, and Pace later scored from three yards out. York’s score from a yard out gave Duncan a 6-0 half- time edge over BENSON, but the 'Cats scored six in the third quarter. Pace scored next, but in the last quarter Benson scored on a long pass and got the extra point. In the BABOQUIVARI game, Duncan began slow but led 6-0 at the half after scorin a one-yard run. Lovett re- turned a 45-yard punt; Bil- lingsley scored from five yards out; and Pace caught a pass for the conversion. SAHUARITA scored in the first and last quarters. Dun- can’s score in the last quarter resulted from a 25-yard pass from Lovett to Abeyta. The TOMBSTONE game was close, with Crotts scoring the only points all night; two on a safety. Duncan’s skill was low in the THATCHER game, a week after the flood. Pace scored from nine yards out for the Kats’ only TD. Lovett made the conversion good. Coach Lindsey directs pre-practice exercise at fairgrounds. TOP: Daily work-outs included leapfrog for limbering and toughening muscles. 63 Football's Happy day: last game routs Trojans! Pace was the the only Kat scorer in the HAYDEN game, the Kats’ worst defeat. The Kats were ready for CLIFTON. Pace scored on a six-yard run and on a four- yard. York kicked an extra point. From the beginning, said Coach Lindsey, “Dun- can displayed the most pun- ishing and physically dom- inating game of the year.” “What a way to end the season!” sighed Scott Lovett for all eight seniors about their last game. Four of Duncan's oppo- nents in 1972 were new or returned to the B East: Ba- boquivari. Benson. Sahuari- ta, and Tombstone, who had played in the B Central for four years. Four left the B East for B North: Alchesay, Blue Ridge, Round Valley, and St. Johns. The JV's showed good pro- mise, with a 4-1 record.

The team began the season with Jim Henry, but from late December, they trained under John Valenzue- la, who continued to direct JV activities also. Two conference losses were close—by one point to Ft. Thomas; by two to Clifton. Team captain for 1972- 1973 was senior Ray Abeyta, who was named Playmaker for his excellence in assists. Ralph Ortega, a junior, was top scorer; sophomore Larry Crotts, top rebounder; Sam Martinez, leading defensive man. Junior Danny Carrell was named Mr. Hustle.” With four of these five re- turning, and a very good JV record, the outlook for an- other year was promising. Ortega leaps to elude Clifton Trojan's guard and shoot for basket. VARSITY SCOREBOARD DUNCAN OPPONENT 58 Ft.

Good teamwork Adds up to outstanding season for Kittens 68 On a winning team, the in- dividual playing was so good, said Coach Barbara Stauf- fer of the 1972 team, that she did not name an Outstanding Volleyball Player for 1972. The girls strung together 14 consecutive wins in reg- ular and tournament play to capture the state Class B championship. Karin and Sharin Morten- sen and Marsha Lunt were named to All-District and All-State first teams. Susan Brownell made All-District and All-State second teams; and Jean Clouse and Inez Pena joined Susan on the All- State second team. At the district tournament at Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher the Kittens de- feated Clifton in close games and romped over Thatcher for the championship. At the state meet, Duncan downed Seton (from Chand- ler) and Mohave (Bullhead City), with the JV's substitu- ting to give the varsity a rest before the finals. Although Duncan had de- feated Thatcher twice in the regular season and once at the district, the girls had a hard fight at the state tour- nament. They won, lost, and finally pulled ahead 15-9 for the final game to win the championship. Sharin Mortensen led the team in scoring for the sea- son, with 90 points. Each of the other team members con- tributed more than 50 points. Coach Stauffer expected 11 returning letter girls for 1973. In 1972, Nyla Clouse was the only senior among the first 12 starters. She played JV and subbed on the varsity. VARSITY SCOREBOARD (Duncan Scores Printed First) OPPONENT SCORES Ft.

Said Coach John Valenzu- ela, Highlights of the season were our sweep of Thatcher (two wins) and splitting two doubleheaders with Silver City. The team, practicing and playing at the county fair grounds, had an unusually large turnout, said Coach Valenzuela, with 20 expected to return for 1974, and only four seniors leaving. Rain and wind plagued the boys all spring. Both dates with Tombstone were reset because of snow and rain. Ray Abeyta was named Most Valuable Player and was chosen an all-conference outfielder, first team. Most Improved Player was Bill Bennett; Ralph Ortega made second team all-con- ference as an outfielder; Fred Garcia was leading pitcher; and Larry Crotts made second team all-con- ference, infield. The Junior Varsity had a 5-2 record, reversing losses at Morenci and Clifton to wins on home ground. Defensive standouts were Rod Lunt and Bob Turman, each committing only one error in six games. Bill Cuth- bertson, doing double duty on varsity and JV, was leading hitter with .500. Sam Mar- tinez and Bob Turman averaged .300 each. Jerry Pena carried most of the pitching duties.

Clothier's netters in his 38 years of coaching Wild- kats. Duncan took the girls' singles crown also, making a total of 14 singles champs for Duncan during those 38 years. This was Duncan’s best record since 1956, when the Kats had taken three firsts. The girls' team, led by Karin Mortensen, had for the fifth consecutive year a 100 per cent record, winning 19 matches in regular play, and making a total of 87 straight wins in the five years. Indi- vidual record in singles and doubles for 1973 was 240-25. Karin was undefeated during the regular season, in singles and doubles. As a freshman she had won a fourth, and as a sophomore, a third, at state before she de- feated Tombstone’s Bucky Latting, 1972 state runner- up. Karin’s championship in the district was her third in three years of high school. Susan Brownell - Sharin Mortensen were district runners-up in doubles, and state champions. Marsha Lunt, also doing well at district, was an alternate for the state meet. The boys' team, though inexperienced, with three returning men and nine be- ginners; and slow at first, had in regular play six wins, one tie, seven losses. Then they ended the sea- son by taking first and fifth in doubles in the district, and first at the state. Ernesto Lopez-Stan Jones proved to be a powerful combination, winning 10 out of 11 doubles contests, four of these being at the district and three at state. With their first place, and a point won by Stephen Smith in singles, the boys captured the state trophy for Duncan. r f 72 FRONT: George Munguia Brent Lunt Stan Jones Santry Elmer BACK: Coach H.T.

After an injury forced Gale to leave the team. Les Mor- tensen substituted in the relay, and again the team was clocked at 48.2. Veterans Mortensen and Dowling led the team in scoring. Mortensen special- ized in hurdles; Dowling ran the sprints and led off for the relays. Mortensen scored 5 firsts and 3 seconds; Dowling scored 6 firsts, 3 seconds, and 6 thirds.

After only two days' practice, they lost a game to Ft. Tho- mas, 7-12, but later defeated the Apaches 14-3. Though Pima had been the only team to defeat Duncan in 1972, the Kittens recovered their pride by whipping the Rough- riders 26-13 and 26-12 in 1973. Melody Shiflet, named by her teammates Most Valuable Player, was the season's lead- ing hitter, hitting two home runs, a triple, and a double in the first game with Pima. Dolores Montoya, shortstop, and Nancy Garcia, pitcher, were named by Coach Stauffer Outstanding Players of the Year. 75 CLASSES MARGARET ABEYTA RAY ABEYTA SYLVIA ABEYTA BENJIE ACUNA. JR.

More than a third of the class had been together in kindergarten; others joined a- long the way, with one trans- fer in the senior year. Remember those grade school assemblies? This class in kindergarten danced to “Yankee Doodle. did the Scarf Dance, and acted out Chicken Little.” In second grade Mrs. Wright arranged the desks in a circle. In the third grade, the kids got to taste Mrs. Sorells’ Sego; in fourth, Mrs. Sorells' recess rule was: “Play baseball or stay in the room.” It was in third grade that Santry Elmer collected 183 pieces of gum SPONSORS during class's junior and senior years were Mrs. Barbara Powell and Luis Montoya. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS were Bill Bennett, president; Cheryl Mort- ensen. vice-president; and Dolores Montoya, secretary-treasurer. 79 Corning from El Paso and Canutillo. Texas.

In sixth, they took the cap off a salt shaker, handed it to Slick Shiflet (who had to finish her plate be- cause an inspector was there!) In seventh, Benjie Acuna was the only one tc get swats in Mr. Smith's room, though everyone (so they say) got them in Mr. Hein’s. As freshmen, some raced down the stairs in the seated position; and Ron York stole the stop watch in the ITED test. As juniors, the class pro- duced a beautiful Prom on the Gay Ninties theme. As seniors, the class tried again and again... and again to keep the '73 on the water tank. Though the Flood of '72 limited this class's activities, it certainly provided the Great Memory.

Juniors were now valued athletes and club leaders, and some were planning for student body leadership in 1973-1974. The Junior-Senior Prom, Color My World. was the first in several years to be held in the high school gym. where the basketball back- boards supported the frame- work for a six-sided ceiling and walls of multi-colored pastel streamers; and hurri- cane lamps filled with rose- buds added a glow to the tis- sue paper world which was the centerpiece. The Juniors departed from custom by crowning seniors as king and queen instead of juniors, but a tradition they still cherished was that of or- dering and proudly wearing their class rings.

They remembered their freshman year, with the Homecoming Trojan horse that broke its legs at the last minute, and had to be dragged instead of riding high on Billie Lackey's VW. They re- membered their dart board at the Carnival, when Larry Allred turned his back on an impatient customer and re- ceived a direct hit on the pos- terior. As sophomores, they were sure they would remember calisthenics in P.E.; pig dis- section in biology; beginning typing. For most of them, it was the year they earned their drivers' licenses and a little more independence. With 11 new members dur- ing the year, the sophomores made a kind of record for the school. Spring entry for the sophs was Sue Tewart, coming from Tucson. 88 Sophs saluted alumni in Homecoming mini-float. T.Cox, N.Merrell greet valedic- torian.

They were the largest class at Duncan high in 1972-73. maintaining an enrollment of 60 plus. Said Coach Tom Davis, “The freshmen contributed more to Duncan's athletic program than any other en- tering class in recent years. Six were outstanding band members, appreciated by Mr. Powell, who would be losing four seniors. This was the first class in many years to miss Initiation.

That's our job. Plentiful electric power is basic to full development of the countryside — basic to job-creating industries, schools, hospitals, cultural and recreational facilities. And as rural communities grow, our job grows bigger. Today, we serve nearly 25 million people — about a tenth of the total population scattered over seven- tenths of the country. That's why it takes almost half the nation's power lines to reach them. But we don't measure our progress by how far we string lines. We measure it by the increasing number of thriving rural communities, where people want to live and work ... where we've helped make the quality of living better. As rural America grows, so grows our nation. We like it that way. We'll keep working. DUNCAN VALLEY ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC. BOARD MEMBERS Douglas Brubaker.

Louise 9.37.53.54.80.96 Book completed. Thanks to all! Another WILDKAT has been completed, enfolding mem- ories of excitement and boredom, of hardships shared, and. perhaps more than in most years, of change. Picture credits go to Mrs. Cole Webb for the aerial view of the campus, page 2, and of the Big 3 Store and Clark’s, page 92; and to Mr. and Mrs. Hinton McEuen for those of the clean-up crew, page 7, of Lehman’s page 92. and of Main Street, page 93. We thank teachers and stu- dents, especially library assistants, who helped with interviews and picture iden- tifications, to help tell the story “like it was.” Stockton. Gilbert 85 Tellez.
