Morenci High School - Copper Cat Yearbook (Morenci, AZ)

THE 1957 COPPER CAT VOLUME 12 MORENCI HIGH SCHOOL MORENCI, ARIZONA 1 ... is many things to many people: it provides our families and us with employment, homes, churches and schools. Unique among the towns of this world, it exists high upon the mountain tops, because here are vast natural deposits of copper. These deposits were dis- covered in 1864, and Morenci became the first copper mining camp in Arizona. Since the mine properties were purchased by Phelps Dodge Cor- poration in 1921 and the open pit was developed in 1937, the Morenci mine has become the largest copper-producing mine in Arizona and the second largest in the United State. Last year approximately 250 million pounds of copper were pro - duced here for national defense and countless industrial purposes. The Morenci open pit is a vast amphitheater cut into the sides of a mountain. It rises in a series of ledges, each 50 feet high and 100 feet wide, and embraces a square mile in area. The proportions are so huge that the mammoth electric shovel--of five yard capacity or I ten tons a bite--and long diesel-drawn trains appear to be tiny ants crawling along the terrace. We salute our town and the company which has been instru- mental in bringing us together and propose that you visit with us in our school, which represents a cross section of the nation, and where the individual student shares common goals and activities. We live. . . 2 Jimmy Williams, Ruby Allen and Carlos Rodriquez view the Morenci Open Pit. WHERE COPPER IS KING CONTENTS 1.

Al- though keeping a full schedule, Mr. Davidson is always ready to talk to a student who may need his help. A native of Texas, he is a graduate of Daniel Baker College at Brown- wood and obtained his master's Degree from Sul Ross College at Alpine.

Mr. Rolland Olney checks with families of school absentees while Miss Mercer works busily at her desk. Our school, with its excellent physical plant, ranks among the finest in the state. Each year additions and improvements are made, both to the buildings and to the instructional program. These facilities, combined with our fine admini- strative and teaching staff, members of which have degrees from twenty-eight colleges and universities in as many states, give us unprece- dented educational opportunities. Just as our classes are the core of our acti- vities, so the reduction works are the center of copper production. The smokestack, visible for miles around, is to many the symbol of Morenci. Sixteen hundred tons of ore pass through the mill each day and four hundred tons of copper result. As you browse through the following pages, visit with us and our teachers as we goto our daily classes, where each individual reaps in accordance with his abilities and his ambition.

A town with rich national heritage, it symbolizes the melting pot which has made our nation rich and strong. Our parents and grandparents came from many places because copper was here, and cop- per meant jobs by which they could provide for their families. When our parents came together to form this strangely cosmopolitan community, they brought with them a diversity of interests and backgrounds, both racial and sectional. Members of the student body were born in twenty-five states, Washington, D. C. , Mexico, Australia and the Fiji Islands. Most of us live in company housing that has been built upon man-made plateaus carved out of the mountain sides, in the three main residen- tial communities --M o r e n c i, Plantsite and Star go. 34 Ray Morgan, Nancy Jones and Bob Vanaman look over Stargo.

Each student may participate, according to his inter- ests and abilities, in music, dramatics, helping with library or office services working on school publications or may be an active member in other high school organizations. There is close cooperation between school and community activities. Members of our music groups frequently appear on programs for local civic groups. An organization formed by sports fans gives support to athletic teams. Other com- munity groups give senior scholarships and awards, send junior class members to Girls' and Boys' States and to music camps and give citizenship and athletic awards. Many students also find time to participate in scouting, the activities of Morenci's several churches or youth groups affiliated with frater- nal organizations.

A sudden death game started the season with the Wildcats squeezing by Duncan. Their first defeat came when Globe, Class A State Champions, journeyed to Morenci and edged them five points. Safford was the next team to win over Morenci. Nogales had a scare when they barely topped the Wildcats. Clifton gave the team its fourth loss. Morenci's second victory came when the Wildcats stopped the Benson Pumas. During Christmas vacation Morenci was host to an invitational tournament, in which they placed as top team. Their third victory resulted when the Safford Bulldogs were the guests, and were trimmed by the Wildcats. The fourth and fifth wins were from Douglas and Bisbee. The second attempt with Nogales resulted in a loss when the Wildcats could not outplay the Apaches; but the same week-end they outplayed the Flowing Wells team. Hard luck accompanied the Wildcats as they traveled to Douglas and Bisbee where they lost both games. A three game winning streak started when Clifton was trounced. Other victories were over Willcox and Thatcher, but the next game was lost to Miami. Morenci's final game was with Duncan whom they bested. In this game Carlos Rodriguez set a new scoring record for the school, racking up a total of 32 points for the evening. Carlos Rodriguez was elected co-captain of the all-tournament and all-conference teams. Mr. Harry Reeves coached the team to a 10 win - 8 loss season.

About 1, 000 of these are employed in the pit and about 1, 500 in other departments and in the activities of subsidi- aries. The payroll totals something over a million dollars a month. This enterprise virtually supports Greenlee County and contributes heavily to the eco- nomy of neighboring Graham County. Clifton, six miles down the mountain and nestled in the canyons, is the county seat and the residence of many Phelps Dodge employees. In both Clifton and Morenci there are many independent businesses of both retail and personal services. These concerns do much business with Morenci students and help support school activities. This community support enables the Copper Cat staff to operate on a sound financial budget. 120 Sarah Alvillar, Jeanette tit Monsegur and Arvin Wiltbank take time out to pose for a picture above Morenci's business center.
