Berry Estes, president of the Student Body, and Frances Lopez look at the trophy case. The Curtain's Going Up Our school life is the stage and we are the actors in the presentation of Life in Morenci High. We, the students, are the cast. We each write our own part of a huge script which we condense every year into our annual. The technical advisors and di- rectors are our instructors, who give us every possible help with our production. The administration works with the board of ed- ucation on financial and policy matters, thus becoming our board of directors. Now that we have introduced our person- nel, we present the drama, the work, and the fun of 1950-51 in Morenci High in three full acts: Fall..Winter.....Spring. Louise Rathbun, Les McLean, and Beverly Watkins peek through the curtains just before the production of Little Women.

A year with troubles, true, but they were outnumbered by joys and achievements. We’re proud of our faculty because we know that a better group of instructors can’t be found. We know that they teach us more than we learn and because of this they, at times become very impatient with us. In any job we want to do, whether it takes two hours or two minutes, we can always find some one of them willing to stop their work and help us. A friendly tap on the back to inspire us to harder study has made many a passing grade for both you and I. Every faculty member is a friend to us. They know how to take a joke and how to give one, and they always have a quick smile and a friendly word. But they can be s erious, too, and they help us with any problem, large or small. Whenever a community project comes to light, you always see a certain number of our faculty listed as helpers to put it across. The Teachers Association donates both time and money to all good causes. This community is our community and they goon helping us in all ways. J.D. BRIMHALL, Woodshop; B. A.

The boys decked out in dresses, the girls with their levis and shirts on backward, and all beautifully decorated with lipstick. That afternoon the sophomores harnessed them up and marched them up to the M.M Spilling a lot of whitewash on themselves and a little on the MM,M the freshmen did a fine job. That evening they were guests of honor at the sophomore dance.

Fall Sensation left the high school for their first annual class picnic at Potters. The red letter day for the freshmen was November 23, when they gave their Thanksgiving dance. This gay affair was a return dance for their experienced friends, the sophomores. The new class showed much ingenuity in their festive decorations. The events of the year were carried out under the direction of their sponsors, Mrs. Louise Park, Miss Jane Fickett, and Mr. C. O. Williams, and their officers Connie Norris, President; Jerrie Romisch, Vice-presi- dent; and Albert Maldonado, Secretary-treasurer. FIRST ROW: A. Robles, N. Wilcoxson, R. Damron, B. Wolfe, M.

The Prompters Work Behind The Scenes The Student Council is the prompter for the yearly production in Morenci High. Every organization in high school is represented on the Student Council. This year the officers elected by the student body were Berry Estes, president; Fred Shaver, vice-president; Cath- arine Quinn, secretary; and Patsy Baker, treasurer. CENTER: Fred Shaver makes a campaign speech in the special campaign assembly. LEFT: Berry Estes, Catharine Quinn, and Mr. Stone count the Crowell-Collier mag- azine subscriptions to find Harry Shaver and Barbara Wil- liams top school salesmen. Something new and exciting was intro- duced this year when the candidates for the offices gave campaign speeches in a special assembly. The Student Council brought the National Assemblies to Morenci High, sponsored the individual school pic- tures, and the Crowell-Collier maga- zine sales. The highlight of the year for the Council was the State Student Council Convention at Glendale. Miss Glover and Mr. Stone accompanined Berry Estes, Fred Shaver, Les McLean Charles Van Driel, Mary Parker, Patsy Baker, Catharine Quinn, and Jessie Burton, and Morenci represent- atives, to the Convention. 14 Back Stage LEFT TO RIGHT: I.

Band plays for a pep ralley in front of school. In step to the drums and led by Drum Major J. R. Ham and Majorette Jeanette Pace, the band marched at all of the home football games. Then the loud “football tones” were laid a- side for concert music, and under Mr. Larson’s capable direction the band had a very successful concert season. The M. H. S. Band gave color and sparkle to many school assemblies and pep rallies. But their work didn't stop there, for many events wouldn’t have seemed complete without a snappy “Our Director” or “King Cotton. ” The band performed for the Greenlee County Fair and the Annual Christmas Tree and was the host band for Tempe at the Copper Bowl game in Clifton last fall.

In the spring an excellent showing was made at the Thatcher Music Festival. Showing a steady growth and reap- ing the benefit of the instrumental lessons given by Director Larson to elementary students, the band had over fiftymembers this year. The stu- dent officers were: Band Captain, Mary Parker; Student Director, Mar- guerite Gualdoni; First Lieutenant, Pasty Baker; Second Lieutenant, El- zada Young; Secretary, Rosine Gual- doni; Librarian, Bob Bucklin.

Cheerleaders Build High Wildcat Spirit The Pep Squad, under the direction of Miss Fickett, performed at all of the home football games. The squad was made up of junior and senior high school girls who wore colorful uniforms of red, black, and white. The Pep Squad twirlers were Bar- bara Williams, Gayle Porter, Betty Stewart, and Mary Lou Evans, who led the Pep Squad through their marching exhibitions. The cheerleaders for Morenci High this year were Rosemary Robertson, Pat Talley, Rosalie Baughman, and Gerry Hanson. As official pep-builders, they appeared at all pep assemblies and games and led enthusiastic Wildcat yells: The band, under the direction of Mr. Larson, stands in marching position at one of the football games.

Wildcats Fight Their Way Through Tough Season Even though the team was out- weighed 20 to 40 pounds per man in every game, they made very good showings against teams which were heavily favored. While winning one and losing seven, the Wildcats showed the best team spirit that has come out of Morenci in a long time. Morenci gained only to lose out in the latter part of the game.

Bailey, was said to be the best effort by the junior and senior classes in many years. Some of the cast were dressed in authentic costumes, either purchased from a cos- tume house or made by parents of the cast members. The play was about the four March girls and their parents and friends during the Civil War period. Rosine Gualdoni did an excellent job of acting the part of Jo March, the play's heroine. Her sister, Amy, Beth, and Meg, were played by Pat Talley, Rosemary Ro- bertson, and Gerry Hanso.n, respectively. Rosalie Baughman and Fred Shaver were cast as the girls' parents. Catharine Quinn played the rich and domineer- ing Aunt March. Buddy Stapp, Rex Whitmer, and Les McLean added the romantic interest by playing Pro- fessor Bhaer, John Brook, and Teddy Laurence. Rogelio Manuz was Mr. Laurence, an elderly neighbor, and Beverly Watkins played Hannah Mullett, the Marchs' housekeeper. Manuela Cervantez, Sara Martinez, Frances Lopez, and Louise Rathbun played neighbors and friends. The entire cast enjoyed working on the play and everyone was proud to have done his bit when the play proved to be such a success on opening night, Novem- ber 10. FRONT ROW: M Chacon, E.

On the first day of school, the members of the sophomore class were ready and eager to slaughter, oops pardon us, initi- ate the freshmen. On the Friday of that same week, Spetember 8, they ushered the M.H.S. infants through a day of laughs, lipstick, and whitewash, as the old M received its annual new coat. After the glorious day, the sophomores gave a dance in honor of the new underclassmen. This being the first school event of the year the gym was filled to capacity.

OnSeptember 27, the sophomores went to Potter's Ranch for the second of their annual class picnics. Everyone had a grand time playing football. And believe it or not the girls won! After an exciting eve- ning, they went home--tired and happy. Bill Tucker was presidentof the class, aided by Neil Morgan as vice-president, and Gloria Maldonado as Secretary-treas - urer.

Tucked away in a part of the studyhall, we find a valuable part of the high school stu- dent's school life-----the library, which is under the capable super- vision of Miss Wilhite. You will always find a group of students around the tables studying hard or doing research work. There, too, you will find the student librarians who are always ready and willing to help you in any way they can.

Hurry there! What a busy fall! To begin with there were elections of officers, followed by picnics and parties. And of course we can't leave out the Freshman initiation-the long climb to the M and the painting of it, and the lipsticked faces and strange manner of dress. Every- one turned out at the football games to cheer the team to victory; the pep squad, twirlers, band, and the Morenci boosters led in their yells by the cheer leaders. And then on November 10, many weeks of hard work were finally realized when the Jr.-Sr. play, Little Women, was presented. 27 This page sponsored by SANITARY MARKET LOCKERS Scenes From Act II DECEMBER JANUARY FEBRUARY National Assembly (Richard Carradine). . .Student Council Convention at Phoenix. . .

How wonderful it seemed to finally be a Junior and to wear one of the beautiful rings and to be able at least to attend the Junior-Senior Banquet. The sponsors for the year were Mr. Hentze, Mr. Richardson, and Miss Wilhite who started the year off by calling an early class meeting. Robert seemed to be the most popular name in the class as Robert Simmons was elected president and Robert Rodela vice-president. Patsy Baker was elected Secretary-treasurer. The Class went to Potter's Ranch on September 28 for their annual class picnic and as usual came home tired, sore, but very happy after an afternoon of Indian wrestling and football. Of course the biggest event in the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, which was held in the Spring. The girls dreamed for weeks of colored crepe paper, punch, and beautiful formals. The Prom wouldn't be quite complete without crowning the queen, who was as pretty and happy as ever before. Classes, fun, and work went into mak- ing the year a huge success for every member of the class. JUNIORS' PEP ASSEMBLY GREAT SUCCESSI FRONT ROW: C. Quipn, P. Talley, A. Arias, P. Baker, N. Goodner.

Well maybe it doesn't sound so good, but the games that were lost were not pushovers for the Wild- cats' opponents. The cagers only lost three members of the varsity this year, and only one of them was on the first five. The grad- uating players were Gilbert Gonzales and Berry Estes, guards; and Jimmie Foster, forward. Foster was one of the first five cagers; he will be greatly missed next year. When it came to sinking long shots we had Jim Foster and Max Navarrete to rely upon. They were the spark forwards of the Wildcats. To bring the bail down the court and work it in was the job of Bob Simmons and Hector Franco. We also had a wonderful rebounding section with Simon Peru and Charles Elkins alternating the center spot. The Wildcats started the season off by defeating Ft. Thomas, then they dropped three in a row to Safford, Thatcher, and Pima. The next weekend the Wildcat five beat one of the states high rated basketball teams two nights in succession. The Douglas These Pages Are Sponsored By THE Bulldogs. But after those two victories we dropped a couple, defeated Safford, and then had a losing streak of six games before we defeated the Giobe Tigers. Well, the last weekend of basketball we were beaten by the Clifton Trojans, our traditional rivals, by a score of 70 to 31. But that wasn't the half of it. The Wildcats made a comeback the next night and defeated the high and mighty second place Trojans by a score of 67 to o5. So ended a very happy and hard fought season. This all came about under the coaching of Steve Vukcevich and the manage - ment of Buddy Stapp. ABOVE LEFT: Coach Vukcevich and Mr. Hentze give Max Navarrete a rub down.

All the girls in high school took part in the various activities of the year. The year was started with an all girls party on October 19th. It was held in the audi- torium. All the girls went in costume and several of them won prizes. The formal was the next big event of the year. It was also held in the auditorium of December 9th. A large crowd enjoyed the evening in an atmosphere of pink and silver. The theme was Roses in December. Chairmen for the decorating were Rosine Gualdoni, Rosemary Robertson, Manuela Cervantez, and Marguerite Gualdoni. The Music was pro- vided by Chapo. Nearly every girl sold at least one box of Christmas cards or wrapping paper towards the formal. Right: Miss Jernigan serves punch to, left to right, J. R.

Early every Tuesday and Thursday morn- ing 72 sleepy girls met for Glee Club under the capable direction of Miss Jean Glover. The organization gave several assemblies, one of which was presented for the Clifton- Morenci football game. They changed the words of three familiar tunes to suit the game that night. Jeanette Pace and Patsy. Baker sang a livelv duet, and Ida Rodela, Frances Lopez, and Lucille Benitez sang an equally comical trio. Then the whole chorus sang Play a Simple Melody in a hilarious ar- rangement. 38 The ensemble girls are busy singing, They are from left to right; Jeanette Pace. Barbara Cross, Lucille Benitez, Marguerite Gualdoni, Norma Goodner, Pat Ashley, Evelyn Norris, Patsy Baker, Elzada Young. Miss Jean Glover is at the piano. Their student representative to the Stu- dent Council was Manuela Cervantez. On the 18th of December the Messiah was produced by the Glee Club with help of sev- eral townspeople from both Clifton and Mor- enci. A record attendance was had at the performance, and many people heard it broadcast over the radio. All agreed that the final Hallelujah was very impressive. The Glee Club attended the Thatcher Music Festival on April 20-21. The songs they sang were One World and My Heart is a Silent Violin. Several vocal solos and other musical arrangements were sent also. Glorious Messiah LEFT TO RIGHT: FIRST ROW. M Young, L. Manuz, P. Ash- ley, S. Holland, Mrs M. Elliott, Mrs. M. Holland, Mr. E.

A Glance At Spanish And Social Science Classes Ay de mi!! Will I ever learn to speak Spanish? Many times under Mrs. Berra’s capable supervision, this ques- tion has been answered in the affirmative. The students find that it is really very interesting to be able to speak two lang- uages. In the social science classes we learn about world conditions from long ago to the present. From our studies we may be able to venture a guess on future events. The social science classes include prac- tical civics, occupations, world history, U. S. History, and American Problems.

The basketball team had a touch schedule topped off by a 67-65 victory over Clifton which sent the Wildcats to the district tournament. The Student Council attended the annual Student Council Convention which was held in December at Glendale. And of course we can't forget vacation and semester tests. The music department also had a busy season. The Glee Club presented Handel's Messiah before Christmas vacations. MARCH APRIL MAY Glimpses Of Act III Girl's League Convnetion in Phoenix. . .

Honors For Leaders In Scholarship, Character, And Service All those shiny pins we saw the students proudly wearing this year were the Honor Society pins. These students worked hard each six weeks to earn the 28 scholastic points and the ten activity points necessary for Honor Society membership. The Honor Society sponsors the Copper Cat and the members of the group are active in the publication of the book. Finances for the Society were obtained by selling pop corn at all the home football games and by dues paid by the members of the organization. Early this spring five seniors were initi- ated into the Morenci Chapter No. 2342 of the National Honor Society. These students have been on the Honor Society sixteen six week periods during the high school career. The highlight of the activities during the school year was the annual spring picnic.

Interest As Spring Progresses With the addition of two new courts in Plantsite, interest was higher than ever this year in the active sport of tennis. All but one of the members of last year's win- ning boys' team were back, including the Arizona class B doubles champions-- Robert Simmons and William Moore. Robert Simmons had moved up to first place vacated by brother Paul, but the other five places had never been held down definitely by anyone. Barbara Williams held down the number 1 girls' spot with an aggressive court game coupled with a steady serve. Among the games played were those with Miami, Clifton, Duncan, Safford, Virden, and Wilcox. The team was coached by Mr. Moritz who was assisted by Miss Wilhite. TRACK LETTERMEN -- LEFT TO RIGHT: Jimmie Foster. Berry Estes. Robert Rodela, and J. R. Ham. BELOW: Berry Estes demonstrates starters stance . Track: Headliner In Spring Sports After a lapse of about ten years, track was resumed by Morenci High as a major sport last spring. About forty boys reported to Paul Farney who, coached the team. Of these, eight were awarded letters. Vincent Loose, the only senior to make a letter went to the state meet as a shot put contender, but failed to place. Gilbert Gonzales showed much improvement in the mile run by placing in the district meet at Safford. Other boys who lettered in 1950 and were counted onto score were: J. R. Ham, in the� 440 and 880; Oscar Buttner in the 440 and low hurdles; Lito Rios, a weight man Berry Estes, and all round perfomer in the high jump, broad jump, and sash. Jimmie Foster in the hurdles: and Robert Rodela, who runs the 220 and 440. Gaining valuable experience last year, were point coun- ters Roger Se Legue, Don Smith, Ray Meija, Wayne Baugh- man, Eual Renick, Ramon Rios, Joe Benitez, Charles Elkins, and Cruz Mendoza. Dual meets were planned for the 1951 season with Clifton, Duncan, Lordsburg, and the EasternAri- zona Invitational Meet March 23 at Safford, the Douglas Invita- tional, the Dis- trict Meet at Eastern Arizona College, and possibly the Tempe Re lays.

This organization promotes good sportsmanship, aninterest in athletics, and sponsors various projects during the year. The Club sponsored a game between the Terrible Swedes and Grund's Globe Trotters on January 18. Black and red pep hats were also sold during the annual picnic held at In- dian Hot Springs in the spring. Robert Simmons served as President. He was assisted by Berry Estes, vice-president, and Robert Rodela, sec- retary-treasurer. Charles Van Driel represented the Club on the Student Council. The boys who belong to the lettermen's Club have work- ed hard to earn their membership. To letter in football a player must play twelve to sixteen quarters. A minimum of two points a meet is required to letter in track. Playing in three-fourths of the basketball and baseball games will earn a letter in those sports.

The record for the last five years is impressive. Two conference champion- ships and a runner up spot plus a third place in four seasons. The team last year, sparked by master pitcher Lencho Navarette, won the con- ference championship by virtue of a win over Globe in the western section. It was thought that the loss of Navarette by graduation would hurt the chances of the Wildcats. However, Lalo Vega has shown good improvement in his pitching arm, and prom- ises great things in 1951. Veteran undergraduates Alex Lulu Peete and Hector Franco will undoubt- edly give a good account of themselves. Lulu plays the second base spot with perfection and helps Franco at the plate. It takes a whole team to win a championship, though, and Morenci shows perfect teamwork on the diamond every year. Since the Copper Cat goes to press before base- ball season every year, we present here a resume of the last few years. 1947 Conference C h a m p i o n s --The Wildcats won 11 games while losing one heartbreaker to Globe, 5-4, in two extra innings. 1948 Second team in the conference. Lost to Miami in the playoff. Won 8 Lost 1. 1949 Dropped to third, behind Clifton. Won 7 Lost 2. 1950 Conference Champions again-- Lost to Safford at Safford and to Clifton, but beat Safford at Morenci to top the conference. Won 11 Lost 2. 53 BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: L. Rathbun, G.

Play Of The Year Recorded By Copper Cat Busy people getting important things done--That's feeling you get when you walk into the publications ss of the Copper Cat work room. Great pains are en by all the staff members to get things done the ht way. Last year's annual made everyone proud by eiving a Medalist rating from the Columbia Press iociationand a First Class rating from the Scholastic :ss Association. The staff worked hard to make this k for 1951 an even better annual.

These stu- dents were, of course, the seniors. Les McLean, Pres- ident; Berry Estes, Vice-President; and Fred Shaver, Sec- retary-Treasurer were helped by their sponsors Mrs. Ber- ra, Miss Glover, and Coach Vukcevich. Berry Estes was elected Student Body President and Fred Shaver, Vice-Pres- ident. Rosalie Baughman and Gerry Hanson were elected two of the cheerleaders for the '50-'51 season. On September 25 two truckloads of laughing seniors left for their annual picnic at Potter's, where everyone had a wonderful time. On the way home everyone sang and thus ended an enjoyable evening fpr senior memories. J. R. Ham, the band drum major, led the band in snappy half-timeperformances at all of the home football games. In the winter many of them participated in the annual Messiah and Girls' League Formal. Several of them be- came members of the National Honor Society, and six at- tended the Student Council Convention. In the spring the seniors began to make final plans. In April they went on a trip for Ditch Day. Many of them par- ticipated in the Spring Music Festival. In May they really settled down and started preparing for graduation and last semester tests. On May 20 they attended Baccalaureatte services. Then on May 25th came the wonderful day dreamed of for twelve long years, Graduation Day. 55 Rosaiie May Baughman Richard Albert Emma Aguallc Linda 11 Acosta Fall Busy as Seniors Begin Last Year LINDALL ACOSTA Activities: Baseball 3.
