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.

Correct writing and speaking courses gave students a sense of self-expression,good speech and correct grammar. For students who wished to acquire sufficient knowledge for their general and personal use, the practical English course was offered. Four years of any of the three available courses are required for graduation. Three years of college preparatory English are re- quired for entrance in college.
