For ten years it has reflected the high lights of our school life and described the activities of students and faculty. This year again we are presenting our school and are reaffirming our belief that each of us will always benefit from our work and activities in direct proportion to what we are willing to give in leader ship, scholarship, loyalty and service. For life is a mirror of king and slave-- 'Tis just what we are and do; Then give to the world the best you have. And the best will come back to you.

Fairbanks superintendent of schools Alert to problems arising from our in- creasing school population, our board of edu- cation and superintendent have this year sup- ervised the latest addition to our high school plant--the building of an auditorium.

Their backing and encouragement have maintainted for our school,high standards for equipment, building and instruction, although our high school enrollment has doubled with- in the last few years. New to our school, but not to the system, Mr. P.H. Davidson became this fall our high s c h o o 1 principal. Upon his shoulders fall the responsibility for co-ordinating school activities and instruction, as well as for help- ing solve individual problems of students and faculty.

It is only one of the many passages learned by the Spanish students this year. The three classes, two Spanish I and one Span- ish II, are under the instruction of Mrs. Berra. The main objective of Spanish is to give stu- dents a basic knowledge of the spoken language, ability to read the written language, and an idea of the Spanish and Mexican customs. It also teaches an appreciation of Spanish literature and culture, and fulfills the foreign language entrance requirement of most colleges and universities. P. Crawford, M. Apodaca, N. Jones, H.

READ FOR RfCRFRTIOn The English classes in all sections accomp- lished much in the field of grammar and litera- ture this year. Three courses of English were offered, the college preparatory, the practical, and correct speaking and writing.

Nowhere are the reflections brighter or more revealing than in the library of the school. Here are mirrored the excited curiosity of the real stu- dent and the careless indifference of the average. Here the bright minds of the entire world are mir- rored in the words of countless books The library was under the direction of Mrs. Margaret O'Connell. Student librarians helped in the distribution of the some 2,900 books, which included 180 that were new or rebound this year. LEFT: Wayne Rathbun glances at a new magazine in the li- brary.

THE MORENCI GIRLS' LEAGUE is the largest organization in high school. It is also one of the most active organizations with every girl striving to get as many activity points as possible. The 30 girls with the most points merit the privilege of going on the annual Girls' League trip. This year they went to the winter convention in Tucson on Feb- ruary 11. Among the many activities of this organization, the Spanish Dinner, Girls' League Formal, the Spring Convention and the All Girls' Party were highlights. The girls received activity points for participating in these activities and also for selling cokes and programs at football games and selling Christmas paper, cards, and ribbon to help raise funds for the support of the Girls' League. Although this was the first time for Morenci High to be honored by having a state convention, they were very proud to play hostess to about 300 girls representing high schools from all over Arizona. Mrs. Lawton and Miss Jernigan are the fa- culty advisors. UPPER LEFT: First prize winner at All Girls' Costume Party was Pat Duffey.

BOTTOM: Charles Scheier sells candy to Byron Alexander while Faye Ford and Patricia Sorells look on. The hustle and bustle at the beginning of the new six weeks marks the receiving of the report cards and the filling out of honor society blanks. The first six weeks is especially busy because the stu- dents are anxious to receive honor society pins which are given to any student whose grades aver- age thirty-four points for five subjects or forty points for six subjects. Participation in school ac- tivities are also required for membership in the honor society. Marion Beck and Frances Thompson were the seniors who were initiated in the National Honor Society. This year the initiation was a spring high-light. This was a very impressive ceremony. To be eligible for membership in the National Honor Society, a senior must have made the honor society fifteen times before the second se- mester of his senior year. Also seniors have to show qualities of character, scholarship, leadership and service. LEFT TO RIGHT, TOP ROW: J. Marietti, R. Waldorf, C. Jensen. SECOND ROW: B. Shubert, K. O'Neal, B. Harris, B.
