Affects plans. With rising costs every- where in 1974-75, Superin- tendent Stephens, Principal Chapman, and the board of education met many problems in maintaining the school program. Also, enrollment decreased, the high school's dropping from about 245 in September to about 225 in the spring. One change for the board resulted from a new state law under which members would be chosen every two years in the general elec- tions rather than rotating, with one term expiring each year. In 1974, two members were elected; in 1976, three would be chosen. Mr. Wylie Boyd, after serving five years, retired and was ' succeeded by Mr. Wilbur Lunt, whose term began in January. The board and Mr. Ste- phens spent much time with federal officials and buil- ders on plans for a new ele- mentary school plant across the Gila River. Plans were to move the portable rooms and begin using the new buil- ding by August, 1975; by spring, ground work for the new campus had been almost completed. In March, a team of ad- ministrators and teachers from high schools and col- leges in Arizona visited Duncan High to make recom- mendations for continuing the school's membership in the North Central Associa- tion. This was Duncan's 51st year of accreditation with the NCA. 4 decisions of administration, school board BOARD OF EDUCATION First: Edwin Barlow, Wylie Boyd, bur Lunt.

Duncan High School 1955— Someone to tell your troubles troubles to, remind you how many credits you have, help you decide what classes to take—that was Mr. Bowman. Someone to sell you a pencil, take a telephone call, write you an excuse— that was Mrs. McEuen. Someone to pat you on the back, take your tempera- ture, test your eyes and ears—that was Mrs. Waters. Someone to help you find a book, tell you how to lo- cate your congressman's ad- dress, borrow a stencil from—that was Mrs. Van Gundy. In all these departments, probably the year's most exciting news was the lib- rary carpet, easy to walk on and pleasant to look at, its tierra rust color harmonizing with the yellow walls and the blue or gold window coverings. ITED (achievement test) booklets, stack up for Mr. Bowman's attention. LIBRARY STAFF, First Row: N.Van Gundy, librarian; R. Rodriguez, A.Cervantes, H.Nichols, S.Baird.

A part-time job and lots of responsibility—that is school bus driving. Teachers and housewives were among those who started early every school morning and ended late, with routes from Virden to 3-Way, and varying in loads from Mr. Bowman's station wagon to 80-passenger monsters; and hoping they and the kids would make each round trip safely. Meanwhile, the cooks arrived each morning at 7:30, checked the count for lunch, and after cooking all morning, spent part of the afternoon cleaning up. This year they served an average of 350 people at school and several elderly people daily in the Meals on Wheels program. Their work was often done to music, as the cafeteria was the music room for elementary classes. Routine sweeping and not- so-routine emergency clean- ups occupied the custodians, with Mr. Johnson never know ing where he might be going next to repair or replace a window, or a light—or, well, almost anything.

Allison escorts K. Hooper after game. School began in August; new students and freshmen became acquainted with old students, teachers, class- rooms. Dances and football and volleyball games helped to mix and match people. First day of vacation was Oct. 4, for the county fair, when the band marched, FFA and FHA entered floats, and FFA, art students, and oth- ers entered exhibits. Homecoming was early—Oct. 11. The only class to pre- pare a mini-float was the freshman, on its way to winning the Spirit Trophy for the year. 10 Last-minute rehearsal: A.Thygerson, J.Crum, L.Payne agree on procedure.

Fall sports End; feasts honor many; It's Christmas The weather cooled, foot- ball and volleyball were going strong; Thanksgiving and Christmas approached. For the second year, the student council and the PTA cooperated on a Halloween Carnival, giving clubs and classes full profits from their booths. The FHA cooked and served banquets. The football and volleyball teams summed up their seasons and tossed bouquets at their banquets. Freshmen let the seniors plan a day of entertainment at their expense. Teachers made full use of their new work room lounge, typing and dittoing in one half; talking, grad- ing papers in the other. The student council trimmed a Christmas tree.

April and May were crammed with events: the D Club field day, with sports and fun; the Junior-Senior Prom; GAC volleyball game; student council-sponsored junior Olympics; Town Kats' Sports Banquet; FFA and FHA banquets. Also squeezed into the calendar were final exams and graduation. Not surprisingly, D Day honors go to volleyball-tennis girls M.Lunt and K.Cox; and to Senior Will is read by D.Allison, C. A.

For each exciting season, Wildkats chose royal couples to reign. Sweethearts and Beaus spiced clubs with glamor. First came Homecoming on Oct. 11, when Billie Lackey and Sam Martinez were chosen from a line of princes and princesses and crowned by 1973's Queen, Inez Pena. On Dec. 21, the seniors crowned and gifted their King and Queen, Clifford Cauthen and Nancy Garcia. Runners-up were Jeanine Crum, Debbie Green; and Tim Cox, Larry Allred, Jeff Poage (see page 75). The juniors honored two more seniors at the Prom on April 26: Larry Crotts and Nancy Merrell. Attendants were Anita Garcia and Marilyn Richins; Tim Cox and Juan Herrera. With spring came parties and banquets, and the GAC-sponsored volleyball game. The FHA Fifties party was the setting for the sweatering of Beau Dale Howard, whose best men were Jim Crotts, J. Brent Lunt, and Jeff Poage. At the volleyball game on May Day, GAC President Marsha Lunt kissed the happy King, Jim Crotts, with Brad Boyd, Dean Crum, and Brent A. Lunt standing by. At the Parent and Member Banquet on April 24, the Future Farmers revealed their choice: Kimmie Cox, whose attendants were Sue Ellen Shreve and Nancy Lunt.

So said Jeff Poage, student body president, reviewing council activities. Also, Jeff said, the council sponsored more dances than usual—six with live bands—and it helped the junior high with four. Other projects included Cam- pus Appreciation Week (clean-up); coke concession; Homecoming Week (with the Town Kats); the Halloween Carnival (with the PTA); Fun Week (sloppy day and junior Olympics); scholar- ships to Any Town, a human relations workshop; partial financing for officers at- tending state workshops; and hosting a county S.C. din- ner, with group discussions led by Eastern Arizona College officers.

Aside from players, Pep Clubbers help- ed fill the rooters' sec- tions at games and backed up the cheerleaders with plenty of noise. Rooters' buses carried pep fans on two out-of-town trips—to a football game in Clifton and to a tournament basketball game in Thatcher. The cheerleaders par- ticipated in pre-game foot- ball ceremonies and in the Homecoming halftime. In February, dressed in stars and stripes, they did a pa- triotic routine to “Boogie- Woogie and “Bugle Boy. Bubbly T. Nelson carries through while R. Davis pauses for a small JV breath.

Chris Sanchez, with three years as a pom pon girl; Melody Jones and Alice Thy- gerson each with three years as twirlers followed close.

Career girls Form FBLA chapter, look into business opportunities With Miss Tuck as adviser, career-minded girls orga- nized a chapter of Future Business Leaders of America. Though they had no programs or money-raising projects during their first year, they discussed projects; and several members attended two conventions. All the girls except one worked as secretaries to teachers or in the school offices. Dawn Morgan planned, on graduation, to train as a medical secreta- ry; Jeanine Crum, another senior, would major in bus- iness education at Eastern Arizona College. 37 FBLA, Front Row: Vicki Tuck, adviser; Peggy Claridge, presi- dent; Dawn Morgan, vice-president; Glenna Clark; Darla Cox, secretary; Laura Lizarraga.

Daily classroom practice on tunes and tones helped achieve the harmony Mr. Foy Powell wanted for the choir, which, like the band, re- ceived an excellent rating in the Eastern Arizona Col- lege spring music festival. Soloist Marsha Lunt, com- pleting her fourth year in DHS music, received a su- perior rating, and with Jeff Poage, trombonist, par- ticipated in the regional concert and rated a place in the state solo and ensemble festival in Mesa. In the Honor Choir were Debbie Green, Wyla Hooper, Laura Lizarraga, Anthony Lunt, Marsha, Audrey Morris, Corrine Payne, Loretta Payne, Jack Rapier, and Clay Thompson. Christmas and spring con- certs, festivals, a tour to Animas, N.M., and graduation singing kept the choir busy. Indispensable Kids march, drums beat, horns toot As concert, pep, and marching band, Duncan in- strumentalists made music for football and basketball games; marched in the county fair parade and the Univer- sity of Arizona Band Day; made entertainment for Home- coming; presented concerts; participated in meets. Honors went to seniors James Nelson and Jeff Poage, whose names were added to the John Philip Sousa plaque and submitted for Who's Who in Music in American High Schools. Both had won regional and state competition honors. Jeff, with his trombone, had toured Europe in 1974 with a national youth band and had marched in MacDon- ald's Band in Macy's Thanks- giving Day Parade and in the Rose Bowl New Year's Parade.

Packing into one year the highlights of almost 400 years of American history or 4000 of world, meant blackboard and overhead pro- jector outlines and reading, thinking, and memorizing. Games helped animate some concepts. Discussions were good to relate events of the 1970s to the plans and intentions of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention. LUIS MONTOYA. History.

DHS1967— If you like math, it's fun, even if you don't like it, it's useful. Advanced classes in 1974- 1975 were small; therefore the atmosphere was relaxed, and Mr. Merrell could take time to explain problems and and help people individually. In large general math class, Mr. Stephens review- ed fundamental arithmetic principles as a basis for algebra and geometry.

B.A., Western New Mexico University. Duncan High 1970— The world is so full of a number of things, crea- tures great and small that science classes were filled with wonders, even while they took lots of hard study—and sometimes re- sulted in low grades. The lab was filled with plant-growing projects, fish tanks, pictures of earth, sea, and sky and with their inhabitants. From the tiny creatures seen only through microscopes to the unimaginably vast inhabitants of space; and whether you were in general science, biology, or chemistry—there was no end to what you might find, and to what you would learn maybe never understand! But it was a good intro- duction to the universe.

A three-way project was a greenhouse for vo-ag class- es: the framework was built and the siding applied by the vocational building trades class; ag boys were to install water lines and the cooling system; and the electricity boys were re- Board supported on machine, J.Abeyta, M.Rodriguez mark off measurements be- fore cutting.

Future farmers tended plants and animals and made farm and home implements; building trades and wood- working students learned to measure, cut, and build. Auto mechanics classes, in- stalled in a former sixth grade classroom, studied cars and repaired them for themselves and lucky friends.

A 7-2 season (4-2 B East) pleased the Wildkats, though they had hoped, af- ter four opening wins, to make 1974 a perfect season. Coach Mike Booty said Tombstone and Clifton were two of the hardest games to win, and Benson the most surprising. An ankle injury to Jim Crotts handicapped the team for the crucial Thatcher contest. Jerry Turman was disabled for parts of the last three games. Senior Rod Lunt won the ARIZONA FOOTBALL'S Sil- houette Award; he was named an All-State tackle and was given honorable mention, de- fensive end; and senior Sam Martinez won All-State honorable mention also.

Eight more wins—and a loss to Willcox. Finally, a sad defeat by Thatcher. At the district tourna- ment, Thatcher again defeat- ed Duncan and crushed the Kittens' chance for going to the state meet. The Junior Varsity also had a good season, 10-6. Six players, along with two of the varsity, were expect- ed to return and avenge the losses to Safford, Willcox, and Thatcher.

Female sports, long limited to volleyball and tennis, were greatly ex- panded as the Wildkat women took full advantage with a five-meet schedule. Under Coach Stauffer, the girls showed up well, though competing with district teams whose programs had been established the year before. Of 20 competing, all but five were freshmen. Mary Ann Garcia, Vikki Garcia, Kathie Hille, Jeanne Lunt, and Tamera Nelson all placed at least fourth in the district meet, and qualified for state, where Jeanne and Vikki each ranked sixth; Tammie and Kathie, eighth each. Named Most Valuable Play- ers were Tamera and Jeanne; Most Improved, Loretta Wright, the team's miler. Tammie competed in 80-yd low hurdles, 100-yd dash, and 880-yd run; Jeanne in the 80-yd hurdles, 220 yd dash, and the 440. Most of the 23 who started boys' track in 1975 were freshmen or first-year men. Only four were return- ing lettermen. Sole victory was the sea- son's first meet, against Animas and Lordsburg. Under second-year Coach Luis Montoya, personal im- provement became the sea- son's key word: many had ad- vanced in events before the district meet. Four men—Clifford Cauth- en, Dale Howard, Jack Ra- pier, Adolph Benavidez— qualified for the state meet, where Rapier finished fourth in low hurdles with 21.3; Howard ended fifth in the 880, setting a school record at 2:03.5. High point man for the sea- son, Howard was defeated only twice all spring. Most Valuable Players were Cauthen and Howard; Most Improved, Benavidez; Most Inspirational, Rapier, who had participated in the state meet both his freshman and his sophomore years.

The varsity posted six victories before dropping their first game 0-1 in 11 innings to Benson. Eventu- ally, the Kats were elimi- nated by Thatcher 5-4 on a controversial call at the end of the last game. Season's highlights in- cluded two romps over arch- rival Clifton; a 3-1 deci- sion over Thatcher, and a 10-0 blasting of Tombstone. Included in a fine season were 7-1,18-3 triumphs over Lordsburg. All-Conference third team selections were Sam Martinez, center field; Rod Lunt, outfield; Jerry Tur- man, catcher; Larry Crotts, first base. Second team B East slots were to Bill Cuthbertson, outfield; Dean Crum, second base; Ron Poitra, third base. Eddie Bonine was named to the B East first team and to All State and played for the South All Stars vs. the North in a game at Mu- nicipal Stadium in Phoenix. On a team basis, Bonine was named Most Valuable Player, with Crum as runner- up. Both names appeared on the Town Kats' honor board. Leading hitter was Jim Crotts, batting a respecta- ble .471. For his super aggressive play, Cuthbertson was named Mr. Desire. A team of 11 freshmen and sophomores, coached by Rob- ert Brehaut, played a no- win season, but received good practice for future varsity work.

Fighting Wildkat Tennis teams continue big in state play With a new coach, Mike Booty, the '75 tennis teams made a slow start, but, as in former years, ended the season with a good record, the girls tying with Clifton and Thatcher for the title in the state tourna- ment; Marsha Lunt placing state; and Jeff Poage- Brent A. Lunt doing the same in boys' doubles. In season's regular play, the girls had a 9-2 record; the boys, a 4-6. Marsha won all her matches and Poage-Lunt won all confer- ence dates (though they lost once to Morenci, later they easily defeated the state's Class A champions). In the district tourna- ment (single elimination), Marsha played four matches, losing at the end to Sheryl Bradley of Clifton, who defeated her for the state Former Coach H.T.CIothier, Coach Booty hatch wicked plans vs. enemies. title also. Jeanine Crum- Susan Seitz played six op- ponents at the district meet, to come in fourth; played three at state (dou- ble elimination) and ranked fourth again. Also battling in the dis- trict meet were Jeanne El- mer, Alphonso James, James Nelson, singles; and Nancy Merrell-Denise Allison and Brad Boyd-J. Brent Lunt, doubles. Four of these would be expected to re- turn for the '76 season. Crowning fourth year in DHS tennis, M.Lunt placed second in singles at state, had been 74 doubles runner-up. 73 BOYS' TENNIS: James Nelson, Alphonso James, Brent A. Lunt, Jeff Poage, J.

Denise Gayle Allison Larry Allred Kristy Anderson Ed Bonine Vikki Byrum Clifford Cauthen Surprise awards at Christmas Ball were plaques presented by grateful seniors to sponsors Ned Merrell (three years) and Dan Stephens (two years). From kindergarten to high school graduation—a long climb, seen from 1961; surprisingly short, viewed in 1975. Students came and went, with Eddie Bonine, Delos Dodge, and Pete Mott enter- ing in 1974. Minor accidents plagued the class. Sam Martinez lost his bunny tail in the first grade program. Fred Damron found no seat at eighth grade graduation. The horse for the freshman Flomecoming float broke a leg. However, the class sur- vived, and produced a beau- tiful Junior-Senior Prom and Christmas Ball. By spring, 1975, school was competing with marriage and employment for seniors' attention; even those planning on more education were looking beyond DHS. 76 Glenna L.

Their carnival booths were a ring toss, a car smashing (with sledge ham- mer), and a bake sale. At Homecoming, they tied the sophs for hall decora- tions and the frosh for bon- fire wood. On D Day they just missed tying the sen- iors for sports points. At Christmas, they won the aluminum can drive. In April were the Prom and Banquet, Wishing You Were Here, with the Nexus group from Phoenix, with flute, sax, and singing. Then the juniors counted credits and registered for their senior year.

For spirit points, the class tied with the juniors for good hall decorations during Homecoming Week. They earned money with a stereo raffle, and with a marriage booth at the Car- nival in October. Though more than 70 en- rolled during the year as sophomores at DHS, many at- tended for very short terms, and in May only 52 were left in the class.

Even in making this book, we were always deciding which picture was better, what to say, how to say it, how much to say. We are sorry we couldn't use all the pictures or tell it all exactly as it happened; but we hope that what the book does include will high- light the memories of good choices and soften regrets for bad ones; that that every good picture left out will allow a better one to form in imagination. Our thanks to all who helped gather information or give it; and to all who helped in planning the book and typing the pages. 120 'l wL •_ I A
