published by Morenci High School Morenci, Arizona Volume 15 1 DEDICATION Mr. Joseph H. Fairbanks Superintendent of Schools 1939 - I960 To Mr. Joseph H. Fairbanks, who for twenty-one years has given his full support to the betterment of the educa- tional program for Morenci, the staff dedicates this I960 edition of the Copper Cat. When Mr. Fairbanks came to Morenci in 1939, the town was just a- wakening from the depression and from a long mining decline. As a result, the school was small, the buildings inade- quate and in need of repair. Throughout Mr. Fairbanks' tenure the need for buildings has been great and in every case his foresight has produced for Morenci, the most up-to-date build- ings and equipment. Five school build- ings have been constructed under his direction. The school population has grown from 921 to 2500. Faculty mem- bership has increased from 35 to 98. His enthusiasm inspired the publication of the first Copper Cat fifteen years ago. During these years, Mr. Fairbanks became a recognized authority on school administration and he lectured in this field during summer sessions at both the University of Arizona and Arizona State College. A graduate of the University of Delaware, with a master's degree from the University of Southern California, Mr. Fairbanks has been connected with Arizona schools since 1922 when he first taught high school science at Florence. Later he taught in both the Douglas and Bisbee High Schools and was principal of the Warren School. Leadership in the Boy Scouts, Red Cross, Rotary International and the Greenlee County Country Club has been part of his community life. Educator, leader, friend and teach- er--these best describe the Superinten- dent of the Morenci Schools during these past two decades. 2 Pencils.........................Page 10 People.............................. 36 Eighth Grade.................... 38 F reshmen........................45 Sophomores...................... 50 Juniors......................... 56 Seniors..........................63 Pastimes............................ 76 Pep.................................112 Patrons.............................126 Index...............................141 3 BOARI) OF EDUCATION Civic-minded members perform critically important service.

As we glance at eager Wildcat faces, we recall all the stimulating experiences, the fuss, the fun, the friendships that made an unforgettable year. Pep was one of the key- notes. We cheered as loudly in defeat as in vic- tory, and the gymnasium shook with the sound of our shouting. Our hearts beat as high as the cheerleaders 1 leaps when a Wildcat scored that winning touchdown and the band beat out On Morenci! 9 TEAMWORK Our teams traveled to various parts of the state to compete proudly in athletic events. Everyone grew excited as cheering crowds gathered by the gym to see the boys off, and the busses rolled away with our songs and yells echoing after. When the games were held on Wildcat Field, pepsters wrapped the goal posts with gay red-and-black paper streamers-----later they became souvenirs of a thrilling evening. Although sports were only one aspect of our busy lives, they were an important part of our activities, and they added spice and colour to the daily routine. 10 ASSEMBLIES Double bells spell excitement and enter- tainment! At this signal,students poured into the auditorium to viewprograms ranging from circus clowns to choral concerts. National Assemblies, sponsored by the Student Coun- cil, were a special treat. They included a magician, a sculptor, and two music groups. College curriculum and campus life were the subjects for a senior assembly presented by representatives from four Arizona col- leges. Later the men met for coffee with our superintendent and principal. The traditional Christmas Concert was sung by the music department and added in- spiration to the gay holiday season. Pep assemblies, often impromptu, gave the school organizations a chance to perform; originality and enthusiasm keynoted each per- former from beauty contestant to beatnik. Yes, Assembly today! always meant fun. 11 EVENING PARTIES....... Parties and proms, dates and dances...these are the spice of our lives. Evenings were filled with light-hearted laughter as couples crowded the dance floor or played gay games. Almost all school clubs planned parties. The new Hi-Teen Club sponsored re gular week-end entertain- ment climaxed by a spring formal. The Girls' League party was a merry masque- rade with costumes ranging from geishas to gypsies. Choristers had a caroling party at Christmas. One of the final festivities was the Senior Banquet-Junior Prom. With every MHS studen' lingers an oh-so-special date, a frivolous formal, ar exciting evening never to be forgotten. 12 DAYTIME FUN Swimming is the favorite summertime sport. On those hottest days we spent hours splashing in the pool or just sun- bathing. Several students worked hard to perfect water skills and won honors in an August swim meet. When winter snows come, snow- balls start flying! Snow - slippery roads gave us one January holiday. Our occasional stormy weather finds most of us indoors, at noon in rest- aurant and cafeteria, after school-- anywhere! Winter or summer, in- doors or out, we gathered in groups to laugh and talk, enjoying this business of being a teenager. 13 STUI) Y Working on lessons any- where and everywhere, we squeezed study into our busy schedules. Lockers jammed with books and students plying pencils at play practice attest to our serious studying. Even in leisure hours we stretched our brains at chess, and learning came with every activity. Studies were the real business of school. 14 .......AND THEN, COMMENCEMENT 15 the real reason for our Classes..... being here We need the fundamentals.........to prepare us for useful living in an adult world.

Art classes this year were directed by Mr. Loren Wilson. He has a B. A. from Northwest Nazarene College, Nampa, Idaho, and a M. S. from the University of Oregon. Mr. Wilson was the photographic advisor for the Copper Cat. RIGHT: D. Apodoca, L. McGrew, L. San- chez, E. Morales, R. Mendoza, and C. Esqueda, learn to use perspectives. BELOW: V. Esparza, G. Gomez, G. Peete, D. Molz, R. Salcido, and G. Arguellez work on their leather projects. According to Webster, an artist is a person who creates something beautiful, such as a painting. However, art students soon found that there was more to it than this as they removed paint and cleaned brushes. Encouraging them to do better work was Mr. Loren Wilson, who stressed originality and creativeness. Among their projects were basic techniques in sketching, working with pastels, painting with oil, tempera, and water colors, leatherwork, copper enameling, and silk screening. This by no means ends the selection, for linoleum block printing, poster work, perspectives, and many more were offered in art classes. COMMERCIAL Skill in business techniques becomes pupils’ main objective. Mike Garcia, Joe Corona, Priscilla Luna, David Gonzales, Zeke Sanchez, and Virginia Patton follow directions given by Mrs. Lawton. Miss Marjorie Johnson received herB.S. from Ball State, Indiana, and her M. S. in business administration from the University of Arizona. She teaches typing and shorthand, and sponsors the Copper Cat. Her community in- activities include Greenlee County Society for Crippled Children, President of Morenci Teachers' Association, Recording Secretary of Delta Kappa Gamma, and Morenci Public Library Board. She enjoys water color paint- ing and photography. To the business minded students of M.H.S. the commercial department offers various courses to help them personally as well as vocationally in later years. Basic skills and correct care of the typewriters are taught in beginning typing classes. Advanced typing brings forth an introduction to indexing and the modern day office machines such as mimeograph, ditto, vari - type, calculator and adding machines. The IBM electric typewriter is something new for the students to master this year. 20 COMMERCIAL Typists learn vocational and personal use of office machinery. ABOVE: Richard Creary pays close attention as Mr. Lemons explains the error in his work. Mr. Paul Lemons received his B.A. in Education from Arizona State University. He teaches general business, business economics, and bookkeeping. He sponsors the sophomore ABOVE: Aurora Gallegos, Betty Duarte, and Carolyn Clemmons work earnestly at learning to operate the calculating machines, in advanced typ- ing class. class. Mr. Lemons is a member of the Latter Day Saints Church and is activity director of the youth group at this church. His hobbies include hunting, bowling, and insurance. Knowledge gained from bookkeep- ing, shorthand, business economics and general business, as well as typing, sets the student on the threshold of the business world and acquaints him with economic problems of everyday living. Bookkeeping presents the basic principle of accounting and shows the student how to prepare inventories and financial statements. General business and business economics inform the student of business procedures as they affect the consumer, such as handling money, budgeting income, buying goods and services, and life insurance, using communications and travel services. BELOW: Gloria Martinez, Duvi Con- treras, and Celia Guerrero attempt to operate the mimeograph machine after receiving instructions in typing II. DRIVER EDUCATION Just jump in, and away we go! Sixto Herrera, Ray Mendoza, Mr. Thelo Motes, Marie Guevara, and Olga Luna are getting ready to try out the school's new driver training car. Our camera caught these lucky few getting ready to take the I960 Studebaker Lark for her first run. Lessons in driving stress safety and courtesy on the highway. Screeching wheels, grinding brakes, and narrow escapes are part of a busy day in dri- ver training class. Crowded highways and the high accident rate have forced the school to train students in the proper handling of an automobile and the rules of the road. Each student has thirty hours of class work before he may take the wheel of the new Lark. He then has to get fifteen hours of driving time. The purpose of driver training is to teach each student to be a safe and courteous driver. RIGHT: Mr. Thelo Motes received his B. S. degree from Arizona State College and his M. A. degree from Arizona State University. He is active in Lions Club and in his church. He enjoys farming and hunting. 22 HOME ECONOMICS Girls receive instruction in fine points of cooking and sewing. Patricia Smith and Ruth Diaz prepare cookies in first year home economics. Snip, snip, snip goes the sound of scissors as the busy girls learned about straight of the grain, nap of the material, and many other things they need to know to complete attractive articles of clothing. With the fashion show in mind they started their second project of the year. It was different and more difficult than the first; this way the girls practiced advanced sewing. Soft ball, hard ball, soft crack, hard crack are just a few of the tests the girls used in candy making. Later they used the candy thermometer, whichwas a big help. They learned how to prepare a meal with color, using the fundamental nutrients. Preparing a Thanksgiving meal taught the girls how to co-ordinate so everything is ready to eat at the same time. RIGHT: Yolanda Herrera is all ready to put her cookies in the oven. Miss Joy Rogers teaches the home economics classes I and II and sponsors the junior class. She received her B. S. H. E. degree from the University of Arkansas. Miss Rogers attends the Assembly of God church, where she is vice president of Sunday School, song leader, and assistant leader of the young people's group.

English classes. Skill in these courses was developed through the use of tape recordings, story writing, reports, and drills. To provide appreciation of the best in literature, book reports were required. Several of the English teachers made up their own lists of required books, and the students chose reading from these lists. Writings of such famous authors as John Gunther, Irving Stone, and Thomas Wolfe were read. 25 FOREIGN I,ANGI AGE Sherelle Williams, Johnny Flowers, and Sarah Alvillar, study sentence structure in French II class Language students explore worlds of Le Francais, El Espanol. Bonjour Mademoiselle or Adios Amigo. This is what you might hear if you walked into a French or Spanish class.

Classes also learned the responsibilities of citizenship as they studied the Arizona and United States Constitutions, election procedures, and income tax forms. In showing how the past can be linked to the present and future, the teachers used spicy debates and discussions on topics rang- ing from the Peloponnesian Wars to teen-age marriages.

Freshmen got acquaint- ed with Morenci High School tradition in Initiation Day ac- tivities. Boys brought buck- ets, brooms, and brawn to the whitewashing ceremony, and succeeded in coating themselves, the M , and much of A Hill with white paint. After mixing the white- wash, a bucket brigade was formed to transport the paint up the steep hill on which we find our school symbol. They went to work with the brooms, sloshing paint onto the huge rock letter. Even the faculty got into the act; Mr. Joe Galusky, Mr. Darrell Evans, and Mr. Ed Pfeifer were seen stirring and spreading whitewash. Finally the job was done and hot, tired boys tum- bled down the hillside to the football field. INTI ATI ON DAY Whitewashed frosh become the guests of honor at Soph Soc Hop. 49 INITIATION DAY Joint underclass effort produces a day of unforgettable fun. Punch and potato chips plus sand- wiches made up the meal which the girls of the class had prepared, and it soon disappeared into that hungry bunch. Later, sophomores rewarded la- bor with laughter at the traditional Sophs -Honor-Frosh Soc Hop. Return- ing home, frosh changed from painted clothes and rushed back to the gym for an evening of dancing. All classes were invited, but the freshmen were admitted free and treated royally as guests of honor. Class members tried all steps from rock and roll to rhumba, then as the last record spun, they wearily called it a day. 50 Michael Aguilera Nena Alvarez Sally Amparano Cora Anaya Diane Andrews Ernest Aragon Irene Aragon Larry Armijo Priscilla Armijo Barbara Austin SOPHOMORES Dolores Baca Nancy Beck Priscilla Benitez Ann Bonilla Marvene Bradford Ricky Brokaw Kenneth Brooks Alan Buffo Merrill Burk Jesus Camacho Olga Carrillo Teddy Cascarelli Benny Cervantez Charlie Cervantez Fermin Cervantez Joe Cervantez Lucy Chavez Ruben Chavez Teddy Cisneros Jimmy Clark Active gang of typical teen-agers mark second MHS year. 51 SOPHOMORES Kenny Clemmer Shirley Cole Joe Collins Marquetta Cook Shirley Cooper Joe Corona Larry Cox Sandra Cox Dwain Crane Rex Dailey Bobby Davis Mitchell Daniels Glenn Dear Virginia De Herrera Charles Denton Frank Diaz Jeanne Drace Dennis Duncan Linda Edwards Alex Esparza Irene Estes Frank Estrada Cecilia Esqueda Richard Fajardo Gilbert Figueroa Johnny Flowers David Gaddy Irene Garcia Mike Garcia Rita Garcia Sophs fill calendars with many important events, hit the high 52 SOPHOMORES school headlines with original ideas, special Robert Garcia Stella Garcia Millie Gomez David Gonzales Hortense Gonzales Larry Goodner Maria T.

One hundred seventy-one sopho- mores, boasting the largest class, re- turned to Morenci High, gave teachers new grey hairs, and added much to the cheerful, friendly atmosphere of our school. On election day they voted Shirley Cooper to the office of president, Jafaye Gentry as vice-president, and Jeanne Drace for secretary-treasurer. A dance given on initiation day to honor the freshmen began 1959 with a flourish which they continued to display in every activity in which they partici- pated. The members claimed places in clubs, honor society, band and vocal music groups, athletic teams, and the student council. Mr. Harry Reeves, Mrs. Louise Park, Mr. Paul Lemons, and Miss Joy Rogers, the sponsors, worked closely with the class to complete a success- ful year. The hard-working bunch seemed always on the go, fulfilling their roles as understudies to the upperclassmen. Class projects added to their treasury; left them with much valuable expe rience and equally valuable memories. Largest class anticipates future with eagerness and ambition. 56 JIM OKS Juanita Abell Lonnie Adams Angie Aguilar Mary Akley Geraldine Allen Theresa Altamirano Erminda Alvillar Rudy Andazola Billie Anderson Johnny Andrews Ideal year brings shiny rings, long-awaited upper-class status.

School buzzed for weeks with the excitement of new class rings; also exciting: the gala spring prom. Amateur actors attracted large audiences to The Leavenworth Case. � Sponsors Mrs. Joe Ann Lawton, Mr. Ross Bridewell, Mr. NealNichols, and Mrs. Beverly Nichols were hard put to keep up with active officers Dick Rice, John Bacon, Norma Arvallo, and Mary Akley, but together they achieved a worthwhile year. 62 There were many handsome costumes when the Student Council declared Western Day.

Just four short years ago a group of youthful students trembled on the doorstep of another world--high school life. They found what seemed to be insurmountable obstacles and they calmly proceeded to conquer them. In September of 1956, a class of 164 students began the first of four great steps at MHS. The freshmen received diaper shaped invitations to the annual freshman- sophomore dance, and a penny was collect- ed from each freshman as he entered the dance. As sophomores the next fall they prepared to assume the responsibility of experienced classmen. The annual dance for the freshmen was one of their social calendar events. The junior year was filled with car- loads of activities. In later September the juniors ordered their long awaited class rings. Mrs. Helen Arnold directed The Little Dog Laughed, a three act comedy presented by the class. The climax of the year came when Margie Camacho and Philip Berra were chosen to reign over the junior-senior prom. The fined step in MHS found 112 stu- dents who had finally gained the mighty name of seniors. Chosen to lead the senior class were Ronald Kellner, presi- dent; Morris Davis, vice president; Bobby Lyall, secretary; and Virginia Ward, treasurer. By now many seniors held high SHARON WILLIAMS JACKIE MARIE YOUNG GALE LOUISE WILTBANK JOYCE N. WRIGHT offices in the school: Alfonso Navarrete, student body president; Carolyn Tread- away, Girls' League president and editor- in-chief of the Wildcat; Douglas White- hurst, president of the Letterman's Club; Verone Lawton, president of F.T.A. and editor-in-chief of the Copper Cat; Jimmy Parra, president of the Spanish Club; Marie Vasquez, president of G. A. A. ; and Philip Berra, president of the band. Assisting the class of I960 through the final year of high school were spon- sors, Mr. Darrell Evans, Mr. Loren Wilson, Mrs. Helen Arnold, and Miss Janie Bittinger. It is with a touch of sadness and a thrill of anticipation that we leave the halls of M. H. S. --four short years full of fondest memories. 75 Pa st i me i Activities are gay and giddy...... exciting and stimulating.........

Attendants at Boys' and Girls' State were the above enthusiastic juniors. Rena Quigley, Sarah Alvillar, Douglas Whitehurst, Carolyn Treadaway, Ronald Kellner, Alfonso Navarrete, and Bill Lafferty. In order to give participants of Boys' and Girls' State experience in politics and government, problems of cities, counties and states were studied. Qualifications for Boys' and Girls' State include outstanding work in the first three years of high school, scho- lastic ability, character, personality, and leadership. These traits were con- sidered by the American Legion and its auxiliary in choosing the boys and girls. Elections at Boys' and Girls ' States were held for choosing various officials. The two parties, the Federalists and the Nationalists, had political rallies in which every girl and boy participated. The results of these elections were ex- perience in using voting machines, cam- paigning and learning to select the best- qualified person for each position. 82 After a wonderful trip, the boys and girls pack up to go home. Cheering the team on to victory this year were the varsity cheerleaders Geraldine Allen, Linda Brown, Char- lene Carr, and Paula Cox. The girls went to all the games, had pep assem- blies, and decorated the goal posts for home games. Most important of all, they could always be counted upon to lead the student body in backing the team through victory or defeat. Nimble groups kindle the enthusiasm of our athletics, spectators. CHEERLEADERS Boosting our school spirit this year were Gay Ramsey, Barbara Montgo- mery, Margie Garcia, Mary Akley and Norma Arvallo, the MHS Pom Pon Girls. They participated in half-time activities at football games and helped put on pep assemblies. Not Pictured: Virginia Ward. The vivacious junior varsity cheer- leaders Ann Bonilla, Kitty Holmes, Barbara Lyall, and Rosie Ortega led yells at the juniors varsity and freshman games.

One semester of Spanish and plans to continue studying the language are the only requirements for member- ship in this lively group. Regular meetings were held and the members entertained themselves with films and amateur 'mariachi' groups.

This year our newspaper was published by a staff of juniors and seniors. Assisted by their sponsor Mrs. Ellen Vander- vort, Carolyn Treadaway, editor- in-chief, and Janis Harrison, man- aging editor, directed the work of the staff. Working overtime, the editors strove to meet their deadlines as reporters took notes on the days' events. Typists hurriedly corrected errors and mimeographed stencils. Reporters from the junior high also contributed news items in their weekly column. Their editor was Peter Alexander, while they were sponsored by Mrs. Grace Chandler and Mr. Victor Fraser. As the paper rolledoff thepress, the staff settled back to enjoy the results of their effort. BELOW: Assisting Gene Wasson at the mimeoscope are editors Janis Harrison and Carolyn Treadaway.

She is also interested in reading and traveling. Shhhh. . . . The quietness of the library reflected the student interest in good books. Counseled by Miss Watt, the library aides helped by shelving, circulating, and mending books, in addi- tion to making out overdue book slips. By the time the year was over, they had obtained a better understanding of the literary and service aspects of the library. BELOW: Margie Castillo helps Kino Baca as Pat West checks the card file, one of the many aids provided in our library. 89 OFFICE HEIFERS Student assistants volunteer to help with many clerical details.

Hiding under these two crazy hats are two crazy cats who seem to think they are beatniks. Betty Anderson and Carole Acosta strive desperately to stick to the beatnik code as they sample foods placed before them. The Girls' League is a senior high organization open to all girls in the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. It provides wonderful opportunities for girls who are new to M.H.S. to get acquainted with other girls. Among the League's activities are the Girls' League Formal, All Girls' Party, and the Spanish Dinner. Under the enthusiastic leadership of the officers, Carolyn Treadaway, presi- dent; Espie Morales, secretary; and Janis Harrison, treasurer, the girls completed another profitable year. An all-girls costume party started the year's activities. It was held near Halloween and many interesting costumes were displayed. Prizes were givenforthe most original garbs. The theme for the annual Girls ' League Formal was Oriental Splendor. The gymnasium was dazzling in its whirl of colored lights, pagodas, and dragons. The chairmen for the formal were Gay Ramsey and Angie Aguilar, ceiling; 92 URLS' LEAGUE annual spring trip rewards thirty hardest-working members.

Plans for action began with weav- ing red, black, and white crepe paper stream- ers forming a ceiling. Abstract designs on transparent frames surrounded the dance floor. In the pagoda factory , girls diligently cut and pasted souvenirs for the dancers. Last, but by no means least, the finishing touches were placed on the King's crown, and everything was in place for a dreamy visit to the Orient. 94 Welcome to the Orient, Geisha girls greeted each couple as they walked through an arch and presented the girl with a fan. Laughter and small talk filled the room as friends discovered one another. The moment of breath- less expectation came when,under the giant arch, Girls' League president Carolyn Treadaway crowned Jimmy Parra king of a night of Oriental Splendor. Around the dance floor couples walked, some hesitantly, to commence the dancing with the grand march. A popular dance band provided music in a variety of styles. Between constant chatter and happy laughter one frequently heard, This is a Ball! 95 HONOR SOCIETY Students aim at national recognitional of scholastic achievement.

Membership in the National Honor Society requires that a student make the honor roll 15 times before he is a second semester senior. These students must also take college preparatory courses. Initiation into the National Honor Soc iety is based on four things: leadership, scholarship, character and service. Four new members, all juniors, were initiated on January 28: John Bacon, Bob Ballis, Clydene Schisler, and Sherelle Williams.

Millionaire Horatio Leavenworth was found murdered. Inspector Gryce and assist- ant Sally Burke were put on the case. The continued conflict between the Leavenworth cousins, Mary and Eleanore, erupted at this time. The disappearance of maid Hannah Chester aroused suspicions from young law- yer Everett Raymond. Maid Molly O'Flanni- gan refereed comical cook Kate Malone's and stuffy butler Thomas Doughtery's bickering. Mrs. Bella Cook revealed Mary's secret marriage to Englishman Henry Clavering. Heiress Mary was then accused of murder. The audience laughed many times and suspected every cast member in turn, but a chorus of oh's! were emitted when secre- tary Truman Harwell emotionally confessed to the murder. Mr. Neal Nichols directed the play, assisted by student director Shirley Rodgers, set manager Mike Stanley and prompters Deanna Johnson and Clydene Schisler.
