These sturdy six-year old were destined to become one of the most brilliant and celebrated classes ever to march through the dim corridors of a mysterious set of buildings labeled The Morenci Tublic Schools. Nov for the story; One bright autumn morning Hiss Walters (a first grade teacher who didn’t know what she was getting into) heard footsteps outside her room. A bright face peered around the cor- ner. Ahl It was Anna YeeS Kiss Walters sighed with relief and mur- nered to herself, Well, maybe this isn't going to be so bad. the ear. After «this Kike was en- dowed with the nickname Better- late-than-never-Enrico. A couple of years went by and as the children grew wiser(?), their number increased. During their third year Donald Rollins (later known as the voice ) joined the happy urchins on their ascent of the ladder of knowledge. The fourth grade was a smooth glide. (It snowed a lot that winter.) Kary Lou Foutz pranced into our midst that year. (Come to think of it, she's still prancing.) The fifth grade was merely an- other victory for us. Of course the class wits kept us in high spirits all of the time. There was the time when Ruben Lozano appeared in school with a black eye—the first intimation of puppy love among us, Kiss Randal said. 0 Next came Martha Aguallo and Carmen Nava, escorted by Gilbert Benavidez. A bubbling sound float- ed through the open window; sure enough, it was Maria Diaz, Theresa Hernandez, Guillerma Nunez, and Herlinda Gonzalez. Gradually the assortment was assembled, and Kiss '.Valters began her rather hopeless task of instil- ling the fundamentals of learning into these little minds. There was a knock at the door. Now VVhat? Mrs. Enrico strode into the room dragging a belligerent Kike by Our sixth year found Elizabeth? Fairbanks adjusting herself to the idea of becoming the leader of a highly intellectual class. It also found Cothy '.Yard adjusting himself to Elizabeth. Billie Jean Riley came that year, too, and she made an instant hit with Jake Lovett, much tp the annoyance of Jerry Ellis.'

Since Morenci grew v ith the outbreak of war, we added to our class population accordingly. There were George and Bill Cooper, Donald Douthitt, Peggy Lucero, and Evert Simons. Freshmen! We had crossed an- other threshold! We went all the way through grammar school and junior high only to suffer scorch- ing indignities imposed on us by the sophomores. We carried their books, cleaned the football field, and collected scrap metal. Helen Johnson, Si pi Chavez, Clyde McAdams, and Jasper Lawson, (bless his soul) joined us in time for our graduation from the ninth grade. White shirts, ties, polish- ed, scrubbed, and sophisticated hair-dos . Some of us haven't been so well-polished, scrubbed , and be-decked since that great day. We looked forward to senior high as being a new deal in life. As sophomores we heckled the freshmen, bored the juniors, and finally imitated the Greeks and went classic. We presented a cul- tural assembly in Greek mythology. Our glorious Venus (Dorothy Licano) entered the great hal of Jupiter (Cothy) and Juno (Helen Johnson) with an air of delicate beauty, when off fell the sheet wound a- round her that was intended to be a main portion of her classic cos- tume. Nancy Nelson and Bob Wasson, came that year and furnished the talent needed for Diana and Merc- ury. Nellie Pena were added to our This brings -senior year.

This year several of our boys had a sudden out burst of childish- ness and were seen playing with mechanical toys----even our class president had a little mechanical racer that was the envy of his friends. In our serious moments we've been kept quite busy with Riveter assignments. Annual write-ups, participation in sports, the junior-senior play, to say nothing of having the fundamentals of American literature and the principles of Americanism poured successfully into our heads by Miss Vandaveer and Miss Lindeman respec- tively. Well, there it is. We've done our part in making this school what it is (Oh, brother'.). We're step- ping out into the world to try out what we're supposed to know. We'll always cherish fond recollections of our years in Morenci schools.
