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

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.
