They have a high scholastic average of 28 points each six weeks; they must participate in at least one extra curricular activity and show good citizenship in association with stu- dents and faculty. To get on the National Honor So- ciety a student must make the Honor Roll fifteen times by the end of the first semester of his senior year. In order to raise money for the Cop- per Cat, which the Society sponsors, they sold candy at the home football games. National Honor Society initiates for this year were Ramiro Beltran, Berta Paez, Dolores Paez, and Shirley Rath- bun . N. Fuller, C. Scheier, Mr. Park, M. Peterson, and S. Ross sell candy. P.

BAWD musts SCHOOL Lift This year, for the first time, the band met during regular school hours. The band was kept busy all year. In the fall there were five diverting football shows, pep as- semblies and the trip to Tucson on Senior Day. During the winter they took part in the Christinas Eve program and gave con- certs. In the spring the band went to the district music festival, played for more assemblies and played for graduation. The band plays during a football game. The band, under the direction of Mr. Al- bertEnglish, has an enrollment of fifty four stu- dents. Some of the important pieces played during the year were: Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral, by Richard Wagner; The Finale from The New World Symphony, by Anton Dvorak, and Panis Angelicus by Cesar Franck. Arvin Wiltbank, a freshman, was chosen student di- rector out of the eight band members that tried out. Altogether it was a successful, well-rounded year, and as usual much hard work paid off with a feeling of accomplishment and something be- sides just another high school band!

Running from a form of the split T, the J.V.'s were able to win one game out of five, in their tough schedule. These plucky Wildkittens worked hard to carry on the traditions of Morenci High School.

Wood craft is a field in which opportunities await every type of ability which a person may possessor de- velop.
