Page Fourteen l ia A 1 CLASS HISTORY AND PROPHECY The frm-loving class of 1954 leaves the Class History and Prophecy as cz forecast of things in store. The ffulure has a bright picture reserved for the class that will take advantage of its opportzmities. When JANET NIETO first went to a boarding school she did not like it very well, but since all her friends were coming to Menaul, she decided to try it for a year. Now Janet is graduating with us. She is interested in the field of medicine, and in 1960 we find Janet an R.N. in Colorado. ELIAS DURAN got' tired of his lonely place and decided to go out in his helicopter to search for adventure. I-Ie landed, and hearing that Menaul was a much better place, he decided to join us. Elias is a well-liked fellow, who still has the traveling bug in him and wants to join the Navy. After a few years we see Elias return from all his trips to land up in . . . Chamisal? A very small boy, looking for a basketball court, came to Menaul to continue practicing in that sport. Since then JUAN DOMINGUEZ has been one of our best basketball players. He is seen around Old Brick quite often, but his mind hasn't been made up on any particular girl. In ten years, our crystal ball tells us Juanito will be taking Mr. Bauer's place at Menaul. . Now we have the quietest member of our class. Yes, it's IDA MEDINA from Ojo Sarco. As Ida travels around the campus we see her occasionally laughing a little. It is not' that she is sadg she is just saving her smiles for the sailors. In the future we see Ida upholding the honor of the country as a U. S. lfVave. , MANUEL Tokyu MARTINEZ joined our family in 1952. Tokyu is a small, intelligent- looking fellow from Park View, New Mexico. He is always kidding people and thus he enlivens the spirit of Menaul. As we gaze into our crystal ball we see Tokyu as a leading agriculturist. Let's keep those prices down! One of the most active members of our class is JANE CORDOVA. Jane is very adept in athletics and is quite popular around the school. She plans to practice medicine in the future. In ten years we see Jane as an M.D. in Albuquerque. MANUEL SALAZAR, better known as Winn, Jr., descended from the hills of Colorado in 1952. . He is a tall, quiet Qat timesj character. Manuel left us for a while last year but came back to study agriculture. In the years to come we see Manuel doing well in his mountain farm in Colorado. Good luck to you, Manuel! Jinny, a very comical girl, arrived in her Cadillac in '52. VIRGINIA MONTOYA is a good basketball player and a very romantic girl. What a combination! Inclined to aid her country, Virginia wants to become a Wave. Smooth sailing, Jinny! CORKY DURAN, a very lively girl from Denver, arrived at Menaul laughing as she always is. She likes to joke but she is also sensible. In the future we see Cora Lee as a leading nurse in Denver. Dodo, DOLORES MONTOYA, came to us originally from Cuba, New Mexico. Dolores is a girl with many different interests. She is very nice and is well liked. She hopes to go to music school, but her plans right now are to be a telephone operator in Santa Fe. Happy calling, Dodo. Page Fifteen One bright and sunny day, from the hills of Ortiz, Colorado, a young, peppy boy named WALTER ATENCIO came to join our family. Coach, noticing his athletic possibilities, gave him the eye. Yes, Coach was right. He turned out to be a good player. We predict that Walter will stick around Albuquerque until a certain junior girl graduates. By 1960 his ambi- tion of coaching will be attained. The second of the McBride family came to Menaul in 1951. We find BUDDY MCBRIDE a quiet but cheerful kind of fellow who is seen in Old Brick visiting a certain junior cheerleader. In the crystal ball we see Buddy a successful doctor in Albuquerque, and by this time this certain junior will become his nurse. .Nice combination! What have we here! Oh! yes, Shakespeare, the second! JOYCE ARELLANO, the poet of our class. Joyce came to us in l951 from the metropolis of Chamisal, New Mexico. She has not as yet decided what her plans for the future are, but we are sure she will be a success in what- ever she undertakes. Better known as professor, MARCIAL CERRATO came to us from the deep, dark jun- gles of Honduras, Central America, in 1952. M arcial is considered one of the brains of our class. He has mastered English very well. As we gaze into our crystal ball we see him engineer- ing a government project in Honduras. One sunny day in the fall of 1951 a little fawn came to Menaul in the form of GENOVEVA ROMERO, better known as Bambi Bambi is an all-around girl noted especially for her athletic ability. After she takes her nurses' training, we see her as a registered nurse in Santa Fe. Who's there, Bambi P E The most talkative and also the jolliest member of our class is FLORILA MONTOYA. She is a very friendly person with high idealsg she is a little package of joy sent to us from Truchas, New Mexico. Our crystal ball says that Flo will become head nurse in the big city of Belen, New Mexico. The dancer of our class, YMELDA MONTANO, hails from Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. Ymelda is a talented girl, and she is very poetic. fAll her poems seem to be about lovelj In the future we see Prieta as a leading journalist for the Mexico City Daily. Good luck! From the enchanting little town of Cuba, New Mexico, a young boy came demanding a place at Menaul. LEROY MARTINEZ then decided it was a good place to stay, and remained for three years. He is a sensible, cheerful boy whose ambition is to acquire a higher education. LeRoy has won a scholarship to the College of Emporia, Emporia, Kansas. The all-around guy of our class came to Menaul in '5l. ELI ROMERO came as a shy sophomore and a quiet fellow. He is not so shy now, for he seems to make certain girls swoon. You know who! As time goes on we see Eli as a leading business man in the city of Mora. When PAULINE MADRID Hrst came to join us we thought her to be a bashful girl, but after seeing her for three years we have changed our minds. We see Pauline now as a cheerful and active girl. Pauline plans to be a physical education teacher. There is a bright future wait- ing for Pauline in Ranchos de Taos. GLORIA MARTINEZ is the singer of our class, and is a quiet, thoughtful girl. fBut you ought to see her at the dormlj Gloria comes to us from Ranchos de Taos. She has great sing- ing ability, but her mind is set on becoming a dental assistant in the navy. We wonder why? Crying and calling for her Mommy, SUSIE RIVERA arrived at Menaul. Susie is a native of Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico, but she moved to Albuquerque when quite young. As we see her future, Susie acquires a higher education at the University of New Mexico. Page Sixteen A cute little sophomore arrived from Allison the. form of RUTH LOPEZ. Old Brick has never been peaceful since, for Ruth is restless and full of pep. Ruth' plans to go to San Diegoy and continue school, but we believe that a certain junior will change her mind and cause her to settle in Cuba, New Mexico. V From sheepherder's paradise, Alamosa, Colorado, came a tall, intelligent-looking boy named LEROY Miner FERNANDEZ. The name Miner is not too appropriate for him, since he's interested more in agriculture. As we read his palm we find LeRoy owning a large estate in the San Luis Valley. Good luck, Miner. One autumn day Miss Moody, while doing her work in the office, glanced out of the window and saw ALFREDO PADILLA coming through the arch. She never dreamed that she was see- ing the future movie star of our class. Alfredo came to us from the town of Truchas, New Mexico. His only ambition is to become a minister. The latest of the contributions to our class arrived this year. We find TITA ROYBAL a very quiet and sweet girl whose future is uncertain, but we know she will become a success in whatever she undertakes. In 1951 ISAAC Syco GALLEGOS arrived here from his mountain home in Antonito, Colorado. He came as a shy, small guy, and one who was very handsome. He soon got into things and became quite popular with the gals! Isaac wants to go to college and in 1980 we see Isaac as a leading business man in Truchas. We wonder why Truchas, Isaac? A handsome young boy came in 1951 to Menaul as a wide-eyed sophomore. TOM WHEATON likes to play basketball and is quite talented. In the future we see Tom as a jet pilot in the Navy. Happy flying, Tom. In '52 a young girl came looking for a place she called Manuel School. This young girl was LOU FERNANDEZ from Alamosa, Colorado. Her good humor and personality make her a likeable girl. In the future we see Lou as a history professor at Adams State. NELSON Ergo GONZALES came to join us in '53. He is from the metropolis of Taos, New Mexico. Ergo is always seen around Old Brick checking up on the girls. That seems to be his favorite pastime. As we gaze into Nelson's future we see him as a teacher in the Duke City. It was the year 1951 when a young, quiet girl came to Menaul trying to find her big brother. Yes, that was ELSA RENDON from Denver. Elsa is a shy girl but when you get to know her she's lots of fun. As the years roll by we find Elsa as an R.N. at Denver General Hospital. The beauty of our class came to us in 1951 from Dixon, New Mexico. CONCHA GRIEGO is noted for her sense of humor and also for her interesting personality. With Concha there's never a dull moment, and if you want a jolly conversation, call on her. Concha has decided to follow her friend's footsteps and study nursing in Ohio. , PHILLIP Dimples MEDINA comes from colorful Colorado. He has been immediately liked by everyone. Phillip is a quiet, smiling fellow whose ambition is to join the navy. We see Phil swabbing the decks on the U.S.S. Colorado. Last but not least comes one of our fun-loving girls from Dixon, New Mexico, in the person of Christina Vialpando. Chris, who enjoys youngsters, tells us that her ambition is to become an elementary teacher. Patience, Chris! With these words we, the class of 1954, conclude our days at Menaul and look forward to the future.

Menaul was started in l88l as an Indian School by the Reverend Sheldon Jackson. The school was a contract school run by the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church. When the government took over the Indian school in 1886, property was purchased with the help of Albuquerque citizens, and for a few years, the Home Missions Board continued to oper- ate an Indian school. The school, built on the present location of Menaul School, was closed in 1891 and the buildings were left vacant for four years. The Reverend james Menaul, who was at the time pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Albuquerque, made a request to the Presbyterian General Assembly for a school for Spanish- speaking boys. From this school Menaul has grown to what it is today. In 1916 the Reverend Harper C. Donaldson came to Menaul as superintendent. Mrs. Don- aldson came a year later and together with Mr. Donaldson helped hundreds of boys to build character on Grin foundations. The year l934 marks a new era in the history of Menaul. At this time the junior high school grades were transferred to Allison-James in Santa Fe, and Menaul became a co-educational senior high school. , V In 1953 Mr. and Mrs. Homer J. E. Townsend came to Menaul to take over the position of superintendent after Mr. Donaldson retired with thirty-seven years of service.

I AGRICULTURE ART ' The art department has been small in number and has met for work only part-timeg how- ever, the girls made a variety of articles for the National Missions Gift Shop in New York. Small dolls dressed in fiesta outfits, burros, adobe houses, hors d'oeuvre picks with hand drawings, and some western place cards were made. One girl made place cards shaped like the Menaul Arch for a Menaul table at a Spanish-American luncheon in Illinois. The girls also took part in the Scotch Tape Christmas tree contest, and one' girl will enter a booklet cover in the contest for the best cover for the book of poetry by Albuquerque young people. A little weaving on hand looms has been done, and there are plans for more weaving and the sampling of as many crafts as possible. H - y AUTO MECHANICS Three classes of auto-mechanics and one class of welding are under the direc- tion of Mr. Paul 'Wigliaman Textbook and theory are taught the first semester while actual repair and work in the shop are done the second semester. Page Thirty I students get a background for current events . BIBLE A We all want to live a full and satisfying life, and todo this we need guidance. Where are we to seek this guidance? VVhere are we to turn to End the answers to our questions: Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? What are our places in life? We here at Menaul believe that the Bible has the answer. We believe that as We study its pages God will reveal our place in His great plan. Q The Bible. courses are planned to help us understand the Bible as we read itg to see it not only as unlolding God's plan and purpose for the world but also for us as individuals. BUSINESS -EDUCATION The Commercial department, headed by Miss Irene Richmond, consists of typing, filing, clerical office prac- tice, and shorthand. There are three classes of fifteen each in beginning typing to include students who want to learn to type. The filing class gets practical experience in filing with miniature filing boxes and letters. 1 ENGLISH The English program at Menaul is designed to provide learning materials suited to the needs and abilities of each student. At the beginning of the year a placement test in reading was given to determine what section the pupil would be in. Previous grades in English and results in earlier reading tests were also used for placement. . Students in English II study some of the basic skills necessary for good reading. Those in English III use the magazines Practical English and Literary Cavalcade as well as a workbook to help them improve reading ability. These also stress good English usage in both speaking and writing. The English IV class has studied Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet, use the Readefs Digest to develop vocabulary, and have taken a series of grammar tests to deter- mine individual weaknesses. n HISTORY World and American History classes are taught by Miss Sue VVatson. In these classes by studying the way people have lived in the past. A Page Thirty one HOME ECONOMICS MATH EMATI CS Algebra I, Geometry, and Trigonometry are the differ- ent courses offered by the mathematics department at Menaul. These courses are taught by Mr. L. M. Bauer. The advanced mathematics classes are primarily made up of boys who desire to study engineering and the various scientific fields in college. Page Thirty-two Cut. . . Sew . . . Show! y INDUSTRIAL ARTS Industrial Arts is a study of the changes made by man in the forms of materials and of the problems of life related to these changes. Some of the aims of the courses are.to develop desirable hobbies, to provide a background for a definite trade, to develop good work habits and attitudes, and to furnish an appreciation of design and quality of manufactured products. There are many areas in industrial arts through which these aims may be realized. At present the' following courses are offered at Menaul: woodwork, ceramics, leather- work, and plastics. MUSIC Under the direction of Miss Patricia Velasco, the choir, mixed quartets, and soloists have taken part in religious services in different commu- nities and on campus. The music department re- sponds very generously when- ever asked to do special sing- ing, and their music has been greatly appreciated. l PHYSIOLOGY The goal of the first aid classes is to learn to give immediate care in emergencies until the services of a physician can be obtained. . In order to graduate from Menaul School each student needs half a credit of first aidg he takes it for a semester daily. This year two classes meet second and third periods and are taught by Miss Emilie Knipe, the school nurse. SPANISH Sometimes visitors on the Menaul campus exclaim, You take Spanish! Why? Don't you speak it already? While Spanish is not a foreign language in the usual sense of the word, it is an important part of our curriculum. There is such an advantage, especially- in the Southwest, in being bi-lingualg and since Menaul students have a usable vocabulary and'relatively good pro- nunciation to begin with, an attempt is made to study Spanish further. Emphasis is placed on Such things as reading, spelling, vocabulary building, and improved usage. Three years of Spanish are offered. The usual textbooks are supplemented by SELECCI- ONES, the Spanish version of the READER'S DIGEST. Each year a Spanish play is given, usu- ally by the advanced class. This year's offering was Zaragueta, a two act comedy by Ramos Carrion y Vital Aza. y SCIENCE In the science department three regular science courses are given, chemistry, physics, and biology. 1 Most of the students take biology sometime during their three years at Menaul. Both juniors and seniors take physics, a field which has great appeal for boys and also for a few girls. Chemistry is given the senior year, for this is a more helpful year for the girls who wish to enter nurses' training or clinical work as assistants in health-laboratories.

Everyone attends church, Wednesday chapel, vespers, and Sunday School while the Gospel Team and Westminister Fellowship Council are composed of smaller groups. Students choose between First and Second Presbyterian Churches for regu- lar Sunday services. This year one Sunday a month a busload of staff and stu- dents have visited other churches than these twog by May all the Presbyterian Churches in Albuquerque will have been visited. Members of the Menaul staff lead or sponsor at least one Wednesday chapel during the year. Ministers and other speakers, films, and discussion groups have been on the chapel programs. Vespers, led by housemothers and students, are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays in each dormitory. Sunday school classes taught by some of the faculty members are held in different buildings on the campus. Each Sunday afternoon a short worship service and class is held. The lessons this year have been based on the history of the church. WESTMIINISTER FELILOWSHIP COUNCIL Religious activities on the campus are supervised by the Westminister Fellow- ship Council. A youth budget is also set up by this group. All the students are given the opportunity to set the youth budget goals in their Sunday evening program and also the foreign and national missions objectives to which the money is to go. This year our budget will go to the Puerto Ricans in Harlem district in New York City.

BOYS' AND GIRLS' STATE New Mexico Boys' State and New Mexico Girls' State, sponsored by 'the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary, were established to give high school boys and girls a helpful knowledge of the principles of American government and to educate them in their duties and responsibilities as citizens. Boys' State was held in 1953 at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Tech- nology at Socorro, New Mexico, while Girls' State was held at the University of New Mexico. Delegates are sent by all accredited high schools in the state and are chosen on the basis of leadership, character, scholarship, service, and citizenship. Joyce Arellano, Manuel Martinez, Jr., and Max McBride, Jr., were Menaul's represen- tatives. LeRoy Martinez, also from Menaul, represented his hometown of Cuba. Page Forty one FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA The Future Business Leaders of America is a national organization for students in business education. All meetings are well organized and are begun with a prayer, the national anthem, and the F.B:L.A. creed. Projects such as the March of Dimes drive and the annual Curtiss Maga- zine sales are organized by the F.B.L.A. Miss Irene Richmond, business education teacher, is the advisor of this chapter. Co-sponsors are M rs. jane Tomlinson and Mrs. Fannie Spurrier. DRAMATICS Dramatics at Menaul usually starts in late fall when the sophomores and juniors have class play try-outs and continue through the end of the year when the seniors have their play the night before commencement. n This year some of the juniors, under the supervision of Mr. James YVarner, dramatized a mystery drama, The I-Iouse of Greed, while the sophomore class play was a comedy called Magnolia Blooms. They were both held on November 22, 1953. The class plays were fol- lowed by a Christmas play, Christmas Under the Stars, 'which was directed by Mr. L. E. Buck. Mr. Buck also directed the Spanish play, Zaragueta, a comedy in which any student in school could participate. The third play directed by Mr. Buck was the senior play, Here Come the Brides. Page Forty-two 1, , AQTIVITY CLUBS This year something new was added to our school program, the Mfednesday activity period. It began the first period and advanced one period every week until all six periods were used. By advancing one period a week the regular work periods and classes were not interrupted. All students participated in one of the eleven clubs: sewing, square dancing, photography, chess, pep squad, crafts, rifle, speech, and projecting. The square dancing cl1.1b can be used as an example of the active part the students took. To begin with, they were taught the terminology of square danc- ing music and how square dancing is done. Simple introductions and dances were taught. As the students improved the more intricate and faster numbers were introduced. The active participation in these clubs will help all who join to grow socially and to enlarge their knowledge of the particular field. A11 the clubs carry one thing in mind, accomplishment.

This celebra- tion is started out by the crowning of the queen and a big bonfire. The following day there is a parade with nicely decorated floats and the highlight of the celebration- the football game. In the evening there is a square dance and the different awards are presented. - Cora Lee Duran, Isaac Gallegosg Rosita Dominguez, Eddie Montanog Queen Dorothy Montoya, Page Forty-six Walter Atenciog Frances Duran, Max McBrideg Grace Romero, Bob Winn. Homecornmg Events 1953-54 Page Forty-seven ATHLETICS Sports at Menaul are very important. Even if the games are not won, the boys gain valuable traits. which make for a better life. They learn teamwork, co-operation, quick thinking, co-ordination, and good health habits. Sports also keep the boys busy in something they like to do. The spirit of the boys this year was very inspiring. Even if they were behind they never gave up, but kept on Hghting for Menaul. Menau1's football season was fairly successful, although only three lettermen returned from the 1952 squad. The rest of the players were new and inexperi- enced, making it almost impossible for Coach David Tomlinson to get the squad off to a good start. Injuries and sickness always seemed to be present making the already small club. weaker in number. The schedule was quite tough, but many of the boys gained experience and will return to have a good season in the fall of 1954. Because there were no returning lettermen from the year before, the basket- ball squad was also composed of inexperienced players. Next year the team will have some letterrnen with experience gained this year. About midway through the season one of the players was eliminated for the rest of the year because of a broken leg suffered in one of the basketball games. I As in football and basketball the absence of lettermen made it necessary to teach the boys the fundamentals and rules of track. The prospects seem to be pretty good, regardless of inexperience. The seventh annual intramural basketball tournament was held in March. The teams were composed of boys who were not eligible for basketball or did not make the A or B squads. These tournaments gave the rest of the boys a chance to play basketball and also gave them some experience.
