Mr. Morris came to Duncan in 1981, having taught previously in Clifton, Benson, and Tucson schools. Mr. Morris is mar- ried to Virginia, one of his former students at Clifton. He is credited with im- proving tremendously the spirit and performance standards of the DHS Band and Choir. Mr. Morris’ philosophy has been to expose stu- dents to challenging materi- al and to encourage their participation in many and varied activities for improv- ing their skill. But most of all, he has taught them that playing and singing music is fun. 3 Two Duncan Institutions: John Ray and the old City Hall. Duncan High School, a mix of old and new Duncan is one hundred years old this year. Founded as a way-station on the Clif- ton-to-Silver City leg of the wagon road over which cop- per ore was hauled by ox team all the way to Kansas City, Duncan has survived both the ravages of time and the re- peated attempts of the Gila River to wash the town away. It not only has survived, but has prospered. Those who have chosen Duncan as their home appreciate the quality of life it offers them, the pleasant, small-town atmosphere that some might call provinical. Duncan residents realize that life here is not for everyone, and when they read what many people are doing in the larger centers, they are glad it is not for everyone! Duncan High School also has a long and colorful history, dating back to 1915. If the walls could talk, what tales they might tell! The staff of the 1983 WILDKAT salutes Dun- can on its Centennial, and pays tribute to the men and women who have provided us such a rich and abundant heri- tage. 4 ADMINISTRATION School Board, Administrators, and Staffs Ned Merrell. Board President The Duncan School Board consists of five mem- bers. In January 1983, Gary Bowen replaced Mrs. Ellen Vandervort, who did not seek reelection, as a mem- ber of the board. Another new face this year was that of Bryant Ridgeway, who came to Duncan from Kayenta, Ari- zona, although he is origin- ally from Willcox.

The faculty showed pride as they totally dominated the younger, inexperienced D- Club. The teachers won by a slim 22 points. Even though the game was a blow-out, the D-Club never gave up, trying desper- ately to make up a lost cause. As always, there will be next year for revenge. GAC was composed of girls who let- tered in a DHS J.V. or varsity sport. The club participated in the Halloween Carni- val to raise money for club trips. First row: Danny Gray, Gary Perez.

The DHS student council under the leadership of Stu- dent Council President Ron Aguallo, started the year with a lot of hard work and activity. Homecoming week was a smash with the classes be- ing let out after lunch for class competition. The Council also planned differ- ent dress-up days during the week, with clown day being the most widely par- ticipated in. The Council sponsored a dance for former DHS stu- dent Dan Parker, who was injured in a construction ac- cident. The Council also gave the “D” a much-needed face-lift, with concrete don- ated by Oakcreek Con- struction. The group spon- sored a Bike-A-Thon in the spring to raise money for the American Cancer Soci- ety.

Homecoming Homecoming week was a blast according to DHS stu- dents. Most students took part in helping their class gain spirit points. The sen- iors won with 103 points, and in second place were the juniors with 84. The freshmen surprised every- one with 81, barely losing the second-place battle with the juniors. Bringing up the rear with 63 points were the sophomores. Traditional activities of the dress-up-days, wood- gathering, hall-decorating, and most important, the Big Game, were conducted. At half-time Brad White and Shirley Ratliff were named Homecoming King and Queen. After the game, the tradi- tional Homecoming Dance was held. Junior-Senior Prom One of the most memo- rable events which took place during the school year was the Junior-Senior Prom, for which the junior class worked hard to raise money. The class, led by Presi- dent Kathy Segraves, did an excellent job. The juniors decided to change tradition from pre- vious years and have a so- cial instead of a banquet. This provided time for ev- eryone to get acquainted with each other, and enjoy refreshments. Music for the Prom was supplied by “Vida.” Light blue, and white, were used to accent the theme “Love Me Tomorrow. Last year's Prom roya- lty, Todd Wagley and Patti Segraves, crowned new King Troy Thygerson and Queen Shawn Gojkovich. The attendants were Alfon- so Garcia and Kellie Bar- low, Mark Perez, and Don- na McCurdy, Peter Baca and Denise Rhodes, and Ron Aguallo and Suzanne Mesa.

The Kats lost 6 straight before winning their last 3 games. The Kats started the sea- son against Thatcher losing 22-8, with the Kat offense not able to do much. On their first road trip the Kats fell to the Panthers of Ani- mas 19-8. The offense didn't score but the de- fense did. The Kats lost their first conference game in Ari- zona Playoff to Tombstone 9-8. On the road to Thatch- er, the Kats once again lost to the mighty Eagles 33-0 as everything fell apart. Before a homecoming crowd, the local gang gave the state champs all they bargained for. The Willcox Cowboys won in the last 31 seconds after a second roughing-the-kicker penalty gave the Cowboys a chance on a thirty-yard field goal. Against Clifton, the Kats were looking for re- venge from last year’s loss. The Kats Defense played superbly and the Trojans drove into paydirt in the last 25 seconds. The much larger Morenci Wildcats proved no match for the Kats, as they won their first game over the once Class- A champs. The Lobo's from Colonial Juarez visited for a high- scoring game. The offense was able to score 29 pts. to the Lobo's 24. In the final game of the season, the Kats once again won, as they beat the Bobcats from Benson 13-9. Charlie finds an opening in the Yellow Jacket defense The J.V. Football team had a very successtul sea- son, ending up 4-3. The J.V.'s, consisting of mostly freshmen, met with some stiff competition. In their first game the J.V.'s had some fun, beating the Class-C Roughriders from Pima. Their next contest was against the always- tough Lordsburg Maver- icks. The young Kats showed guts as they fought to the end, losing 33-12. On their next outing the Kats stood proud, defeat- ing rival Thatcher for a sec- ond-straight year. The fol- lowing games were lost to new conference arrivals, Morenci and Willcox. The young Kats were coached by Sam Gardner and Bill Cauthen. Charlie runs aggressively, while Troy looks to block.

Top: Paulette Segraves, Suzanne Mesa, Coach Hofrock, Kellie Barlow, and Jana Lunt, Above. Sylvia spikes one at Morenci. Right, Karla bumps before the game. The Lady Kat volleyball team consisted of three seniors with underclassmen making up the majority of the team. The Kats ended the season with a 6 win-9 loss record. The Kats strug- gled through most of the season winning on and off. Emotions ran high as the Kat's beat the league con- tending Bobcats, in Ben- son. For the second year at DHS the Kats were coached by Ms. Hofrock. Honors went to Crystal Malaney, All-Conference Honorable Mention and to Kathy Segraves named to the All-Conference second team. 71 J.V. Netters Susan Bejarano, Sarah Crumbley, Irma Molina, Liz Bejarano, Coach Hofrock, Ofelia Montoya, Yvonne Chavez, Gerelene Jones, and Hollie Williams. J.V.'s huddle before a game. The J.V. volleyball team, led by juniors Yvonne Cha- vez and Irma Molina, proved to have talent. The girls ended the season with a 9 win-5 loss record. Considering the number of wins, the team had some exciting matches. With the majority of the team being made up of underclassmen, the team has an outstand- ing outlook for next year. 72 Freshmen Volleyball Julie Hales, Karen Marshall, Sherma Montgomery, Cindi Holder, Kim Ferrell, Sylvia Rodriguez. Samantha Nelson, and Coach Hofrock. The Freshmen Volleyball Team had an exciting sea- son. The girls were able to play against more exper- ienced girls, giving them the chance to improve their skills. The team consisted of freshmen, with a few upper classmen playing with them in some games. 73 Ms. Hofrock listens closely, as the refs explain the court boundaries. The Basketball boys had a rough season, ending up 9-9 overall, 6-6 in confer- ence play, fourth behind Clifton, Morenci, and Thatcher. The boys started the sea- son with a bang, beating Lodsburg by a large sum. The Kats were up and down, looking good at all times, and playing below their capability at others. Coaches Sagnemeni and Santee survey the action on the court. Varsity Boys Basketball Front row: Cody Germaine. Rick Nutt. Jason Howard.

Playing their hearts out, the Kats came very close to beating Clifton and Mor- enci. They lost by six to Clif- ton in a barn-burning game. Against Morenci the boys lost by nine, scaring the pants off the second place Wildcats. Under the new Head Coach Don Santee, the boys gave it their all, but in the District Tournament the Kats were beaten by Ben- son on a slop-shot, ending the season. The senior-dominated team showed pride and guts, and also showed the underclassmen the skills of the game. 75 Alfonso's in the clear for this lay-up. J.V. Basketball Boys Coach Sagnemeni. Kenny Barlow. Curtis Peeler. Donald Crockett, Rick Weathers, Pat Sexton, John Merrell, Mark Moore, Rodney Bradford Travis Merrell. and Ricardo Gonzales. The J.V. Basketball team had a very successful sea- son, going 12-3. The J.V. consisted of mostly sopho- mores with one junior. The team looked and played well most of the time, losing only to rival Thatcher, and to power- house Morenci twice. The rest of the season was a great experience for the youngsters, as they racked up a superb string of victories. Thrashing the Trojans, Panthers, and Mavericks, the young Kats soon proved to be an aggressive defensive team, making most of their points from steals and defensive car- oms. Under new Coach Martin Sagnimeni the team aver- aged 50 points a game, to- tally dominating their oppo- nents. 76 Varsity Girls Basketball Front row: Delyce Santee, Crystal Malaney, Liz Bejarano, Susan Bejarano, Kris Ferrell. Back row: Coach Smith, Irma Molina, Jana Lunt, Kathy Segraves, Sarah Crumbley, Kelly Ghojkovich. Paulette Segraves, and Mgr., Marisa Bencomo. The Lady Kats had a dif- ficult basketball season and wound up out of contention beyond the first round of the B-East Conference play-offs. Although the game scores and wins did not show it, the girls pro- vided some close and well played games. The Lady Kats are only losing one player, Crystal Malaney, who was named to the All Conference 2nd Team this year. The team consisted of four juniors, Kathy Se- graves, Kristine Ferrell, Jana Lunt, and Irma Molina. These girls will make up the nucleus of the team while the underclassmen will make up the remainder. The girls are looking for- ward to an exciting and vic- torious season next year. 77 Kris lets go of a free throw. Delyce takes a shot, while Irma and Sarah move in for the rebound. J.V. Girls Basketball Front row: Hollie Williams, Kim Ferrell. Cindy Holder. Back row: Liz Bejarano. Kelly Gojkovich, Rebecca Gamble, and Sylvia Rodriguez. The girls J.V. basketball team had a tough schedule to play this year and not much depth on the bench. Even though the girls didn’t finish the season with a winning record they showed a lot of promise and enthusiasm. The girls never gave up in a game, but instead they fought with a great deal of desire. To the left: Susan waits for the ball. 79 Baseball Front row: Gregg Lunt, Victor Rodriguez. Gary Perez. Benny Rodriguez. Richard Herrera. Robert Bejarano. Sammy Martinez. Back row: Coach Teo Rodriguez. Junior Bejarano. Ted Lunt. Alfonso Garcia. Jason Howard. Ralph Bejarano. and Joe Sotelo. Not pictured: Mark Chavez, Ralph Sanchez. Rodney Bradford and Peter Baca. 80 Wildkat batsmen demonstrate their stroke. The 1983 Baseball sea- son was one of rebuilding, as the young, but eager Wildkats, led by seniors Mark Chavez, Peter Baca, and Alfonso Garcia, won only two games. Inexperience and youth took its toll on the baseball team, and having a losing record could have been de- tremental, but as true Wild- kats they never gave up. The team maintained tre- mendous spirit and pride. This enabled the younger players to gain experience, while learning to cope with defeat. Lordsburg and Tombstone proved to be tough, but not tough enough, as these were the two teams the Wildkats beat. Losing only three play- ers, the Kats look to be competitive in the following years. The Varsity baseball team was coached by Coach Rodriguez and Coach Sagnimeni. Peter leans back for an inside pitch to pass. Jason demonstrates his style of pitching. Tennis Below: Karla stands still. This year the Lady Kats tennis team consisted of sixteen girls, and they worked to keep the coaches busy by improving their skills. Kathy Segraves placed second in the Dis- trict Meet, while Crystal Ma- laney and Paulette Se- graves teamed up for one doubles team and Arlene Payne and Jana Lunt form- ing the other. Each of the teams won at least one match in the District Meet to score enough points to place fourth. The girls also placed fourth in the Thatch- er Tournament with Kathy again placing second in sin- gles, and Jana and Arlene placing fifth in doubles. Kathy placed third in the State Meet.

The Boys Tennis Team, like the Girls, attracted a lot of young talent, but the out- standing features of the team was second place of Donald Crockett and John Merrell in doubles, and Mike Richins, third in sin- gles play at the District Tournament. In state play Donald and John took a third place finish. Mike, be- ing the only graduate, makes the outlook of next years team a tough one.

Becky Ratliff. Becky Henderson. Christi Ratliff. Paul Moore. Ricardo Gonzales. Ron Aguallo, Greg Johns. Sarah Crumbley. Mark Moore. 86 Greg demonstrates his unique style of jumping, which helped him to win first place in state. Track members relax between events. The 1983 track season was very exciting. Even though the track team practiced inside many times, as the weather did not permit practice outside. The Wildkat cinder crew on their first outing clob- bered the Pima Rough- riders. All through the sea- son the team gained exper- ience participating in small and also in the big track meets. Under classmen like Ri- cardo Gonzales and Joe Munoz plan to keep up the Wildkat tradition. Troy Thygerson, Paul Moore, and Greg Johns were the three Wildkat men to make it to State in the 100 and 200yd. dash, pole vault, and the high jump, re- spectively. 87 Troy breaks the tape. Sarah strives for a place in the low hurdles Ricardo leaps for a long-jump 88 Kristine gives it her all in the 400. DVERTISING n fet m 7 V V W T fv (Vt 1 JTTJ Oakcreek Contracting, Inc.
