Ready to take you on a tour of our school are Carolyn Treadaway, Donald Pingle - ton and Lorraine Ashinhurst. XU OJ 'vsl had a lvondsUifuL This is the story of that year. From the beginning of school in September until the last day of May, so many things happen that it is difficult to remember them all without the aid of our yearbook. Morenci High School means many things to all of us and different things to eachand everyone. But to all of us, it is the center of most of our activities. Not only is it our educational center, but friendships are made and expanded here and many of our social get-togethers are sponsored by our school organi- zations. In designing this book we have tried to give you more than just pictures and copy, more than a mere record of events and achievements. We've tried to interpret our school and our pride in it. Though the book may appear the same to all, the memories it brings back will be different for each of us. We believe that our school is not just a building and its furnishings, it is the personal relationship shared by our stu- dent body with each other and with our teachers. We are proud of this spirit, which is our school, and we are happy to share with you,all the thrills of accomplishment and the nostalgic memories of the fun we've had during this year in Morenci High. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION....................................page 4 CURRICULUM.......................................... 6 ACTIVITIES......................................... 30 CLASSES............................................ 66 Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Eighth Grade 68- 79 80- 86 87. 92 93-101 102-107 SPORTS............................................ 108 ADVERTISING....................................... 124 INDEX 142 BOARD OF EDUCATION Members of the school board this year are Mr. Claude C.

Here are the teachers, who have taught us many things which will benefit us all our lives. They have tried to help us form efficient habits of reading and listening, and we have discovered that the ability to communicate ideas and to rea- son is essential.

RIGHT: Ruth Godbey, Don Foster, Barbara Hartner, John Kennedy, Barbara Dawe and Dick Cain dance to the music of Herb's Orchestra at the Prom which is the highlight of the year. The theme was Butterflies' Paradise and the gym was gaily decorated in spring colors with hun- dreds of colorful butterflies hanging from the ceiling. BELOW: Queen Barbara Dawe and King Glenn Pearce lead the Grand March at the Junior-Senior Prom. All-girl executives chosen to lead the Seniors through their final year of high school were Patricia Sorells, president; Ruth Godbey, vice-president; and Barbara Dawe, secretary-treasurer. Preparations were begun early in the year for the forthcoming graduation. Be- fore the enthusiastic seniors realized it, announcements had been ordered, scholar - ship tests given, plans made for college and measurements for caps and gowns taken. To aid the departing seniors in decid- ing upon a school, representatives from three colleges and one university in the state visited M. H. S. to answer questions presented by those interested in attending college next fall. Senior Day , sponsored by several colleges was designated as a day in which seniors from all over the state could ac- quaint themselves with the campus, courses offered, and the program of the college. Many seniors from Morenci took advantage of this opportunity. Days passed swiftly and on May 29th, that anticipated day arrived. 79 JUNIORS 143 juniors, wearing their gold class rings for the Robert Albert Dale Allen Angie A1 villa r Jeanette Andrews Gloria Aragon Rudy Armijo Domingo Baca Jessie Baca Linda Ballis Jackie Bancroft Gloria Barajas Juanita Bradford Karl Barry Allan Begay Denny Ben Perry Bland Karl Baughman Barbara Bishop De Wayne Burk Don Burk Ernest Camacho Maria Camacho Tom Candelaria Steve Carr ell Phil Churchfield JUNIORS first time, participated in various extracurricular activities.

Typing budgets are forgotten as La Rue Feemster, Linda Troutman and Jeanette Monsegur compare newly received class rings. Admiring their rings are Dora Cisneros, Lillian Flores, Sandra Wolfe, and Mary Lou Martinez. With all class members participating, the juniors succeeded in making this a very suc- cessful year. Each student eagerly took part in sports, music, dramatics, and other activities. Chosen because of their capabilities as leaders were officers Stevean Carrell, presi- dent; Jeanette Monsegur, vice president; Juan- ita Bradford, treasurer; and Irene Marin, secretary. Class rings were ordered early in the year and by Christmas juniors wore these symbols of prestige. Mrs. Edgar Davidson directed Stage Struck , a three act comedy presented by the class on December 6, 1957. Proceeds were used for the prom, which was the highlight of the year. The junior class sponsors were Miss Jean Glover, Mrs. Charlotte Luz, Mr. Thelo Motes, and Mr. Alfred Umstead. 86 Juanita Bradford, class treasurer, and Norma Mitchell handled the sales and the distribution of class rings.

We retained the copper ingot for the third straight year and lost only one foot- ball game. The basketball season was highlighted by the three thrilling tournament games that took us to the state tournament in Tucson, where our boys won acclaim for the excellent ball they played. Not all of our competitive contests brought us victory, of course. Few of us would want it that way. A loss makes the next victory more meaningful. The individual achievement of those participa- ting in our sports program is even greater than team accomplishments, because each learned individually the value of hard work and training, co-operation and team work, as well as the need for control and sportsmanship. 108 tournament play finds Fidencio Silva shooting for a basket, Larry Mortensen down for a rebound.
