New Morenci Auditorium A dream became a reality when the new Morenci audito- rium was completed this fall. Open house was held on Sep- tember 25, and visitors were entertained with music, played by Miss Jean Glover, on the new Hammond organ which was presented last spring by the Junior High School and purchased with money earned by selling magazines. Plans for the auditorium were begun when our high school building was built in 1949, by the Board of Education and Su- perintendent Joseph H. Fairbanks. The new addition also houses the music department, with band rehearsal rooms and a glee club room as well as prac- tice rooms and a movie projection room. BOARD OF EDUCATION Plant and provides music rooms and stage. The auditorium seat s 87 6 people and has a completely equipped stage. The stage features modern lighting, speak- ers, curtains, and a beautiful copper colored front curtain. The seats are upholstered in turquoise nylon frieze. The cost of the addition was $209, 000 and took over a year to construct. In addition to supervising and planning the continous build- ing and expansion program o f the Morenci Schools, our public spirited Board of Education is faced with problems of finance and policy. Members of the board are: President, Mr. L. L. McDaniel, Clerk, Mr. Ernest Shaver, and Member, Mr. David Orr. To our superintendent, Mr. Fairbanks, fall the innumer - able tasks of administration necessary to keep a school sys - tern of eight buildings, ninety teachers and twenty-five hundred students running smoothly. That he succeeds and still has time for a smile, and to take a personal interest in everyone is our good fortune. Upper right: Mr.. Jos. H. Fairbanks, Superintendent, Center: Mr. L. L.

PRINCIPAL Students receive assistance with problems Heading our high school is our principal, Mr, Philip H. Davidson. He is active in community activities as well as a faithful attender of all school activities. A native of Texas, he is a graduate of Daniel Baker College at Brownwood and has his Master's Degree from Sul Ross College at Alpine. He joined the Morenci school system in 1948, and became high school principal in 1954. The school offices are busy places, and our administrators, assisted by secretaries Nancy Archer, Phoebe Braeuer, and Dolly Beck, daily answer dozens of p hone calls and questions, handle correspondence, keep school records, and cope with the innumerable problems that arise within our school system. MR. PHILIP H. DAVIDSON, Principal Mrs. Nancy Archer Mrs. Phoebe Braeuer Mrs. Dolly Beck H. S. Secretary Superintendent’s Office Secretary to Superintendent COUNSELORS From Administration and Guidance Staff Mrs. Joe Ann Lawton, left, and Mr. Harry Reeves, right, are ready to help anyone with his school or personal problems. This year different devices were used by the counselors to aid students wanting help. These included several tests to find what each student is best qualified for. For students who were in doubt as to which college to attend, there was a large source of information in the guidance of- fice which helped find the school best suited to the individual. The school nurse also played a big part in our school. She was always ready to give first aid for the many minor accidents that occurred. Mrs. Grace Bradley is again the nurse for the high school and grade schools. 7 CLASSES AND FACULTY WE became acquainted with the classics in literature, music, and art; learned to state our opinions and respect our neighbors';--to become good citi- zens; completed college entrances requirements; acquired new skills in vocational courses; became aware of the world around us through science. 9 ENGLISH Classes stress use of correct, lively, and Miss Margaret E. Cook-B. S. , Coe College, Iowa; M. A. , U. of Iowa, English. English classes stressed developement in the fields of grammar, literature, and speech. Mo- renci High School offered three separate English courses for each class, college preparatory, practical English, and correct speaking and writing. The college preparatory course provides suf- ficient background for those who plan to continue schooling, while the practical course places em- phasis on the personal use of English. These courses help to stimulate self-expres- sion, good reading, and thinking. Four years of English in Morenci High School are required for graduation. Students learn to diagram sentences.

For twenty-four years the Lettermen's Club has been an outstanding organization in Morenci High School. To be a member of this organiza- tion, a boy must letter in football, basketball, track, baseball, or tennis. This years' club elected Kenny O'Neal, pres- ident; Sammy Romero, vice president; Clint Ford, secretary-treasurer; and student council repre- sentative, John Marietti. To raise money for their formal dance, the club sold cokes and candy at the basketball games. Assisting the faculty, the lettermen helped keep spectators off the playing ground at football games. During the spring the annual picnic given by the Boosters' Club was enjoyed. In appreciation for his outstanding service the Lettermen's Club presented Dr. Jarvis a paint- ing by Hal Empie. Dr. Jarvis never missed a football game, whether at home or away. CHEERLEADERS Spark pep and spirit for school teams.

The Wildcat cheerleading quartet, Lillian, Elaine Myrle, and Rosie, swing it to the left at the Clifton-Morenci game.

The girls were kept busy with pep notes, assemblies, wrapping goal posts, working out new routines, organizing a cheering section, pep rallies, car parades, and mainly leading yells at the football and basketball games. As the seasons changed so did their cos- tumes. From red velveteen dresses withblack tights the girls switched to black turtleneck sweaters, reversible black and white skirts, and black tights. This enthusiastic foursome was taken on trips and was helped with their many projects by Miss Peggy McCune, sponsor. ORATORICAL CONTEST Orators present views on American standards.

Checkmate” and I challenge were the cries when the chess club organized early in December. Under the guidance of Mr. Evans, the club quickly made up for starting late and was ready for the State Tournament. Positions were determined by a ladder sys- tem of challenges, but later the club changed to the point system. By this arrangement, points were won or lost according to the differences in total points between p layers. Members were also required to play one game a week. Many activities were scheduled. Some of these were trips to the State Tournaments local meets with Safford, school elimination tourna- ments, and discussions on standard openings and games. Bill Shubert was elected president and presided over club activities. Vice-president and secretary was George Sinclair. LEFT, left to right: J. Essex, J. McFadden, F. Sterns, J. Hall, andG.

To enjoy the satisfaction of a year crammed with joys and tears, fun and work. We hope that you, too, have the feeling of pleasure which accompanies a job well done. We have enjoyed working on this, our 1956 C oppe r Cat, and hope that it gives you much pleasure, both now and in yearsto come. We owe special thanks to many people for their assistance throughout the year-to all faculty members who helped us meet deadlines by allowing us class time for the final finishing and proof- reading pages, and for letting us interrupt classes to take pictures so that we could present a pic- torial survey of our year-to Mrs. Louise Park and Honor Society members for selling candy at football games to increase our available funds-to all our loyal patrons who gave us financial support by purchasing advertising-to Paul Simmons, Howard Sherwood, and Frank Gabusi for photographic assistance-to Mrs. Joe Ann Lawton and Miss Stella Miller for proofreading-and to all others who have contributed to the publication of the 1956 Copper Cat. Perhaps the biggest thanks goes to Miss Majorie Johnson, our sponsor. Without her patience, thoughtfulness, experience, and helpfulness we could never have had such an outstanding annual. To her we owe special good thoughts for bringing out our own talents. She was the inspiration we all needed and respected.
