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

 Life at Morenci High School: a happy combina- tion of pleasure and pro- blems. 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

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
