The Wildkat football team clinched a tie with Willcox for first place in the conference, but fell to powerful Florence in the first round of the state play-offs. A new event added to the student activities calendar was Basketball Spirit Day, the second-semester equivalent of Homecoming. In January, Dr. Bryant Ridgway announced his resignation as Superintendent of Duncan Public Schools, effective at the end of the school year. On the national scene, President Reagan met with Soviet leader Gorbachev in Geneva to discuss arms control.

They defeated Valley Union and Ft. Thomas, only to meet the Class A State Champs, the Safford Bulldogs. The Kats struggled hard, but lost 15-3, 15-2. The Kats saw the season as a very promising one, but it did not prove to be so. Their conference record was 0-7 and their overall record was 5-12.

The Duncan Fighting Wildkats, under the direction of Coach Teo Rodriguez, had their best season in years, making it all the way to Conference Co-Champs and a spot in the state play-offs. The football team started their season with a win, shutting down Lordsburg 22-0. The Animas Panthers, returning New Mexico State Champs, were next. The Kats were overpowered 32-0. Duncan opened their conference schedule by hosting Tombstone. The Kats came from behind to win 14-9. Duncan hosted Thatcher in what could have been described a tug-of-war. Neither team could score in the four quarters of regulation play, forcing an Arizona Play-off, in which Duncan won 6-0. The Wildkats discover How sweet it is after the Benson victory. r r 5 The Kats then lost to Willcox 22-0, giving the Cowboys sole ownership of the first place at the time. Duncan traveled to Clifton to defeat the Trojans 17-0. Morenci came next. The Kats put pressure on Morenci, injuring their key player, and Duncan won 15-7. The Kats hosted the Pima Riders for Homecoming. Duncan's teamwork shut out Pima 31-0. Duncan visited Benson for the final game of the regular season.

At the Eastern Arizona College Christmas Tournament, the Kats won consolation and each girl received a medal. Heather Legge was named to the all-tournament team. The girls also did well in post- season play, beating Pima by one point in the first round of the District Tournaments. Duncan then went on to play Thatcher and lost in a much disputed game. The scorebooks kept by the Duncan and Thatcher teams, as well as the official scorebook, all differed from each other and the clock. Heather Legge and Lori Sexton, who were the season's high scorers, were both named to All- Conference Second Team. 1 Kathy muscles for position as Heather puts up the shot.

The Freshman Team had a learning season this year under the direction of coach Pete Hamilton. They practiced hard and learned a lot. However, the scoreboard did not show their progress, as the Kats had a record of 1-10. They played consistently, but could not win consistently. 12 Joey brings the ball down the court.

The Hoop Kats under coach John Payne managed to play well enough to win two of three games against the State Champ Thatcher Eagles. After an opening-game loss to Clifton, the Kats settled down to defeat Lordsburg twice, Animas, and then Thatcher. In the EAC Tournament the Kats met the Eagles again, this time falling by seventeen. The Kats won the second round game against Willcox, but were edged by Pima for the Consolation Championship. In the first conference game, Morenci beat Duncan by one point. The Kats blew out Animas in the final meeting between these two teams. Duncan got revenge against Pima for the earlier loss, then lost to Benson at home. Willcox beat Duncan by three, then Duncan beat Morenci on the Cats' home court. The Class-A Champ Safford Bull-dogs visited Duncan for Homecoming, winning convincingly. The Kats lost to Tombstone on the road, then shut down Clifton. For the second time in the season, Duncan dominated Pima. The Kats dropped out in the first round of the District Tournament with a loss to Morenci. Stuart McLay was named to First Team All-Conference. Andy Elmer and Justin Nichols were selected to All-Conference Honorable Mention. Stuart McLay was also named to First Team All-State and was selected to play in The North- South All Star game. The Kats ended their season 11-9 overall, 3- 4 in conference. 15 Three DHS tracksters qualify for state Three members of the DHS Track Team qualified for the State Meet held at Dobson High in Mesa: Justin Nichols, Christina Pena, and Andy Elmer. Track squad members had the opportunity to qualify for State in meets prior to the District Meet this year. Christina qualified in the 100 m. dash early in the season at the Willcox meet, and qualified for the 200 m. dash at the Morenci Rotary Invitational. Leslie Melton and Susan Bejarano did well at Districts, although they missed a State berth. Leslie placed fifth in the shot put and Susan earned sixth place in the 400 m. dash. Andy Elmer qualified for State in two events at Districts, as did Justin Nichols. Andy's events were the long jump and 110 m. hurdles, while Justin qualified in the discus and shot. At State, Christina placed second in both dashes. Her fiercest competition all year came in the form of B-East rivals Annette Rocha of Morenci and Kathy Pomaski from Clifton. Keldon Donaldson rounds the final turn. 16 Justin Nichols gets off a good throw. Susan Bejarano stretches it out. Cecilio strains to pick up the pace. Andy placed fifth at State in the hurdles with a time of 16.25 seconds and Justin was sixth in the shot put with a toss of 42' 8 . The Kat cinder crew was coached by John Payne and Chano Talavera. Lori Phelps shows good form on this jump. Wildkat baseball team goes 10-10 The Wildkat Diamond Crew finished the season at an even 10- 10 mark, winding up fourth in the conference. Nine players will be lost to graduation, but there are some scrappy younger players coming up that show great promise. The Kats opened the season with a three-game sweep of Lordsburg. The team was not as successful in the Morenci Lions Tournament, as they lost the consolation final to Thatcher. The Kats' hopes for post-season play were dashed by an opening-round loss in the District Tournament to Willcox. Harvey Sotelo was selected to the All- Tourney Team in the Morenci Tournament, and he along with Richard Herrera and Benny Rodriguez were named to post-season All-Conference Teams.

The Tennis Teams had successful seasons, with the boys team going undefeated in the regular season. The girls also finished among the top teams. Duncan once again hosted the District Tournament, as well as the H.T. Clothier Invitational. In the latter tournament, the doubles team of Travis Merrell and Bobby Holder won first place and the team of Randy Norton and Alfred Luna finished fourth. Mark Moore placed third in singles. The Holder-Merrell duo won the Miami Invitational doubles championship a week later. In the District Tournament, Bill Hansen qualified for State in singles and Merrell and Holder qualified in doubles. Travis Merrell and Bobby Holder overcame all other teams to become the 1986 State Champions. Bobby sends one back over. Tiddlywinks, et al. Demonstrated here is some of the footwear recommended for long-distance cruising. Just plain relaxing is the favorite exercise of this bunch. Snowman-building is fun, but tiring, as these DHS students discover. Behind this pair of innocent-looking faces are a couple of Champion schemers! All the sports mentioned so far are very popular with the students of Duncan High School. But we have neglected the unofficial sports played by students. Of these, probably girl- watching and guy-watching are the most popular. (The season also lasts the longest.) Snowball- throwing is very popular, but conditions for this are right only about one day a year. Water balloon- tossing is an important sport played in the spring, but it is mostly played off campus. Cruising the halls is an endurance activity enjoyed by some, but because it requires a great deal of stamina, it is not for everyone. Sliding down the bannisters is a sport enjoyed by some of the boys. They prefer doing it when there's someone watching they want to impress, but anytime no teachers are around is fine. This list is by no means complete, for there are many minor unofficial sports played at D.H.S., some of which are sanctioned by school authorities and many which are not! 23 DHS athletes are recognized Freshman Volleyball 24 J.V.

The paper was produced bi-monthly and was delivered to the students of Duncan High School. The first issue appeared Sept. 3, 1985, and the last one, a Senior Special , was dated May 16, 1986. According to Mike, Our main goal this year was to have more news in the paper and to have better news coverage. 1 feel we have accomplished this goal. The students and teachers have taken a greater interest and have shown pride in the Kat-Chat. The reporting staff for first semester consisted of sixteen students: Robert Bejarano, Kim Davis, Donna Mae Foote, Debbie Gray, Mark Johnson, Cassie Herrera, Cindy Holder, Pam Johns, Pam Wright, Lori Phelps, David Romero, Jennie Salazar, Lori Sexton, Harvey Sotelo, Kara Wagley, and Hollie Williams. Second semester, the number of reporters and assistants was reduced to eight: Dolores Castillo, Donna Foote, Dena French, Joey Heath, Cassie Herrera, Stuart MacLay, Lori Phelps, and Hollie Williams. Hollie, Lori, and Joey were also helping produce the yearbook at this time. 28 NHS WWK START T0UK.5 Four members of the National Honor Society traveled to Tombstone March 7 for the Knowledge Bowl. Team members included Gregg Lunt, Pam Mahan, Randy Norton, and Karl Webster. Advisor Ms. Hudson said, The kids worked hard getting ready for this contest, studying three times a week ' Nine schools participated in the contest. Students were given oral and written tests in the areas of lietrature, grammar, math, quotes, history, famous people, and sports. The Knowledge Bowl's purpose is to increase awareness among students. Willcox won the competition, answering eighty questions correctly out of one hundred and thirty. The Duncan team answered fifty- five questions correctly. On March 7, members of the Med-Start Club visited Tucson Medical Center. The group started the tour at the Physical Therapy Department. There they were shown equipment used to rehabilitate people who have various disabilities. Next came the Radiology Department. Students saw how millions of dollars in computer X-ray technology can isolate and photograph different parts of the body in a matter of seconds. The group then visited the D.P.S. helicopter pad and heard the pilot explain the procedures the crew follows on an emergency mission. Fifteen students and Mr. and Mrs. Foote made the trip. ciue watchk (sm A new club on campus this year, the Astronomy Club, held an overnight Comet Watch to observe Halley's Comet. Using both binoculars and the new telescope purchased by the school, students were able to observe the comet as well as other celestial phenomena such as gas clouds and stars. Club sponsor, Mr. Payne, is anxious to schedule more observation sessions and to take students to see shows at the U of A Planetarium and the telescope at Kitt Peak Observatory. Ms. Julie Hudson, Student Council sponsor and co-ordinator of student activities this year, receives special recognition for her efforts from Mr. Crotts. 29 Flag Team sends three to New York The 1985-86 Flag Team sponsored by Kathy Nichols had a very busy season this year. The girls kept busy by performing at football and basketball games, marching in parades, and participating in community events such as the Fourth of July celebration, and the Greenlee County Fair. Three team members, Tammy Ryther, Christina Pena, and Lyanna Pena, were selected to go to New York to participate in the rededication of the Statue of Liberty. Fundraisers throughout the year included car washes, a booth at the fair, and a Lip-Sync Contest held May 16. Center: Lyanna Pena.

The squad started preparing for the season by attending camp at EAC during the summer. The Varsity cheers received superior ribbons, a spirit stick, (awarded to the most spirited squads), and the Award of Excellence runners-up. At the beginning of the school year the squad got a new sponsor- Mrs. Diane Brown. Between football and basketball seasons the cheers participated in a one- day championship double stunt and pyramid building clinic. The cheerleaders had a very successful season. They went to new heights in their specialty, pyramid building, and although once in a while they were shaky, not once did they collapse. 35 FFA rounds out a busy year This year the Duncan FFA Chapter kicked off the new year by attending the 56th annual State Leadership Conference in Tucson. Members attended leadership sessions, and the state award ceremonies. The State Farmer Degree, one of the highest degrees given on the state level, was awarded to Mark Moore, Randy Norton, and Patrick Sexton. Patrick Sexton was also one of the four recipients for the star State Agri-businessman. On July 4, the chapter made a big splash and entered the first annual bath tub races. The chapter won first place, winning a trophy and cash prize. Through the summer some of the members worked hard to raise animals for the Greenlee County Fair in September. They showed the animals and sold them at auction, which proved to be a worthwhile experience for everyone that entered. The school year would never be complete without the many judging contests. This year members attended the Cotton Judging in Tucson and the Range Management Contest near Willcox. The 1986 year started with the annual District Leadership at Cochise in Douglas. The Duncan chapter Parliamentary Procedure Team brought home the first place plaque and will be representing the Gila Southern District in the state contest in June. In February, members participated in the Eastern Arizona Field Day, bringing home awards in agronomy, range management, meats, soils, dairy and many more. 36 Randy is awarded star Greenhand. Dena is named Member of The Year. Darrell, Kody, Russell, Travis, Dena, and Marcus are the top Parliamentary Procedure Team in the District.

Below, Dale studies antiques at the Agriculture Hall of Fame in Kansas City. At the State FFA Field Day, the agronomy team consisting of Travis Merrell, Randy Norton, and Gregg Lunt brought home the first place plaque. Members who participated at State learned a lot, even if they didn't walk away victorious. Each year officers and State Farmers have a chance to attend the National Convention in Kansas City, MO. This year Dena French, Dale Quinones, Ron Derrick, Ric Choate, and JoLynn Felkins were able to attend. On the way there members visited points of interest, such as White Sands N.M., The Cowboy Hall of Fame, the Agriculture Hall of Fame, Truman's Library, the American Royal Horse Show, and also the Arrowhead and Royals Stadium. The highlight of the trip was to attend the National Convention, with over 22,000 FFA members representing all fifty states. At the convention, the auditorium was like a sea of blue and gold jackets. Members watched the American Farmer degree ceremony and listened to famous speakers such as Secretary of Agriculture John Block, and Zig Zigler, a famous motivational speaker. 37 FFA members, back to front: John Fisher, Russell Breshears, David Christianson, Michael Corona, Wes McCarty, Randy Crotts, Jason Steans, Joel Bellamy, Andrea Gutierrez, Sandra Garcia, Melissa Burrola, Sheila Aden, Buddy Price, James Peeler, Jimmy Bell, Parley Dixon, Cody Baber, Lance Peterson, Justin Nichols, Jason Williams, Jeff Rhodes, Jesse Good, Mike Brinkerhoff, Gerardo Gonzales, Todd Brown, Cully Stearns, Stacy Bennett, Bobby Holder, Jerry Herrera, Tammy Bennett, Russell Hendricks, Chuck French, Kara Wagley, Rick Johns, Brandon Bowen, Craig Lunt, David Draper, Teresa Merrell, SAndy Goodner, Michael Davis, Ken Price, Ric Choate, Kody Davis, Darrell Zumwalt, Shawn McCarty, Pam Johns, Marcus Ridgway, Travis Merrell, Mark Moore, Dena French, Ron Derrick, JoLynn Felkins, Hollis Merrell, Dale Quinones, Rebbecca Gamble, Cindy Holder. 1 BLA members, back to front: Marcus Ridgway, Hollis Merrell, Felicia Smith, Gregg Lunt, Dena French, Missy Billingsley, Ron Derrick, David Draper, Heather Legge, Susan Shay, Jerry Rapier, Todd Brown, Daniel Gonzales, Brandon Bowen, Keri Webster, Heidi Germaine, Jackie Wright, Bobby Holder, Pam McCain, Gerardo Gonzales, Diana Gonzales, Mrs. Lucia Lunt, Ricky Johns, Shauna Jones, Kim Tyler, Shauna Rapier, Lori Phelps, Tiffany Melton, Douglas Norton, Jenny Page, Teresa Merrell, Darrell Draper. 38 Far left, Ron Derrick steps forward to pick up an award.

A recruiting party was held at the beginning of the year on September 11, 1985. Those who attended made pizza and watched movies. During the Greenlee County Fair in October, FBLA members set up a display booth. The booth demonstrated office equipment, places where business skills are needed, and told some FBLA success stories. The National Honor Society challenged the FBLA chapter to a bowling match held on February 27, 1986. Students who competed in the challenge paid for their bowling fee and the FBLA chapter paid for the food that was eaten afterwards. The NHS Bowlers ended up with a score of 571, while the FBLA bowlers had a score of 577. Several FBLA members also took part in the Senior sponsored Gong Show . Entries included a crazy fashion show and a lip sync FBLA Club members enjoy a These Future Business Leaders find the out- doors pleasant at the State Convention. group called D and the Jams . The fashion show included fashions such as baggy pants (pants with plastic bags attached) and a straw hat (a hat with straws sticking out of it). The lip sync group lip-sung to the hit song How Will I Know by Whitney Houston. On April 8, 1986, FBLA members gathered in the business room to compete in a type-a- thon. The type-a-thon was a way for members to earn money for State. Students went out and got pledges from community members and were paid according to how many correct lines they could type in forty minutes. The average pledge was about five cents per line. Heidi Germain has the most lines correct with one hundred, and Keri Webster had the next highest with sixty-eight correct lines. FBLAers attended many conferences throughout the year. The first of these was a Leadership Conference held at Canyon Del Oro High School. This conference was attended only by chapter officers. Other conferences included the Western Regional Conference held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Region V Conference held at Cochise College, and the State Conference held in Tempe at Arizona State University. Several members also had the opportunity to compete at Eastern Arizona College's Skills Day. 19 Vicky Gutierrez represents Duncan as FHA State vice-president —■ ___ Donna Lott, Kara Wagley, Julie Crum, Susan Shay, Debbie Gray, and Trish Hille model for the F.H.A.
