____________ Ckarfoftt Ceis 1961 COPPER CAT Morenci High School Morenci, Arizona volume 16 As Mexico celebrates.......with a year long fiesta.........the one hundred and fiftieth anniver- sary of her freedom from Spain.............. We Salute Those Of Our Student These students add much toour school with their un- failing courtesy and quick friendliness-----their flashing dark eyes and charming smiles. Whether our ancestors crossed the Atlantic Ocean or the southern borders of our broad land---whether our parents are native Arizona citizens or have crossed state I bounderies to resettle on our mountain top abode—we have become a proud composite-------and are PROUD to be citizens of OUR country, OUR town and OUR SCHOOL. 2 We dedicate this book to two master teachers Mrs. Louise Park In appreciation for her years of service to Morenci High School as a master teacher of mathematics, we, on behalf of the community and school, dedicate this 1961 Copper Cat to Mrs. Louise Park. Mrs. Park obtained an AB degree from Kansas Uni- versity and an MA degree in mathematics from Columbia University. She gained teaching experience in Kansas, Montana and Oklahoma prior to 1943. For the past eighteen years Mrs. Park has been teaching and leading an active community life in Morenci. As a member of the St. James Episcopal Church, she is a former president of their guild. She is also a member of Delta Kappa Gamma and is sponsor of the MHS Honor Society and National Honor Society. We, the staff, express our sincere gratitude for her services as business advisor of the Copper Cat since its birth. It is our hope that the future will hold many gold- en years for Mrs. Park. A native Morenci-ite , Joe Ann Lawton graduated from MHS and the Uni- versity of Arizona. She began her teaching career in the Fairplay Building, later transferring to junior high and finally to high school typing and girls1 counseling. Mrs. Lawton has given herself un- selfishly to school and community activi- ties alike. Many senior classes and the Girls' League have prospered under her sponsorship. She has been invaluable as a proof reader for the Copper Cat. Mrs. Lawton has been active in AEA, MTA, Presbyterian Church, Morenci Woman's Club, Greenlee County Girl Scout Council, Crippled Children's Society and Delta Kap - pa Gamma. As she goes to California to join her husband, she takes with her the best wishes of the student body and leaves behind warm memories of her helpfulness.

Immediately following registration, longlines formedto buy books and supplies. Below: Marsha Jones heads the line followed by Ronald Duncan and Lonnie Adams. Jerry Williams hopefully waits his turn. Amid the turmoil, class- rooms and teachers were located and pen- cils scratched out notes and assignments for the next day. Students gained political prowess in circulating petitions for class offices. On mug-shot day we donned our biggest and best smiles when the camera clicked. Then off to the polls! Below: Student council officers Clydene Dechert and Erminda Alvillar supervise ballot boxes with a gig- gle as Reuben Xohcihua and Fred McCullar show pseudo-excitement in casting their ballots. Freshmen found time in their busy schedules to poke and probe into un- familiar objects. Room 36 held a particular fascination with its unusual ma- chines. Above: Eddie Cocking challenges a typewriter with courage and one finger. With a hidden chuckle, experienced typists answered the repeated question, What does this one do? The clatter of spike on pavement toldus football season was here. Sports- minded boys spent long practice hours in preparation for the weekend game. Many muscles groaned after rigorous calisthenics. 7 Hail to thee, dear alma mater, hail Morenci High! Our hearts burst with pride as we sang our school song. Dancing cheerleaders and pom pon girls held our spirits high throughout the me- diocre season. Above: Pom pon Geraldine Allen stands at attention while the band opens a night game with the national anthem. We renewed old friendships; began new one s. Above: Paula Montgome ry with Mike Goodwin, Donna Bradford and Sharon Reed turn to greet more friends. The tempo increased as the big tests rolled around. Numerous college-bound students took the PSAT and CEEB exams, while career-conscious seniors took the State Employment Test. Left: Erminda Alvillar scans direction sheet and wonders, what am I doing here? 8 Many school groups took trips to games, conventions, dramatic productions and contests.

On Friday few hours passedbefore we were once again at the high school. Soc hops kept us jumping, games kept us cheering.

Enrolled in these courses were the students con- sidering higher education in a college or university. These particular courses were especially designed to prepare students for College Entrance Board Examinations and stiff college courses. The emphasis was on mathematics and science in the scientific course while the foreign languages of French and Spanish were stressed in the liberal arts course. The college course was designed for those students who were interested in entering a college where entrance is not based on competition. In this course, elective subjects such as woodshop, metalshop, art, and busi- ness were provided. Each of these courses trained the student in se rious thought and cultivated regular and independent study habits. These will all prove helpful in higher institutions. Shirley BELOW: Study hall was an essential element in completing lessons as Sharon Glassgow, Hawkins, Robert Bradford, Sandra Duncan, and Sherry Andrews indicate. 20 History ABOVE: Jimmy Clark, Charlotte Huish and Shirley Cooper hunt for material for a report on the Civil War, at the reserved book table in the library. Special reports and debates are regular fare in United States and world history classes. U. S. history is required of all Morenci High School students. 21 Mathematics Angles, triangles, rectangles and squares puzzled many students taking mathematics courses. Better understanding of solid geometric shapes was achieved bybuilding models. John Bacon and Jimmy Conyer superimpose a tetrahedron upon an octahe- dron. 22 Foreign Language ABOVE: Lydia Pizano and Mickey Wolfe compare Spanish and French Art work. The beginning French and Spanish classes provide an insight into the history and customs of France and Spain, as well as the basic funda- mentals of the language. Second year students probe further, learn to speak more fluently, and tackle current litera- ture. 23 English ABOVE: Carol Richardson and Lee May hunt books for their next reports. Special preparatory courses in English are given for college and university bound students. Vocational needs are fulfilled by the practical English classes. In both, vocabulary, spelling, and correct composition are stressed. Literature plays an important part in the course of study. Reports are required in all classes from lists made out by the teachers. Both classical and modern books are included in these lists. 24 Science The wonders of the plant and animal kingdom were explored in biology classes. Large grass- hoppers are dissected by Gilbert Romero, Jen- nifer Guyn, Sherry Andrews, Peter Alexander and Ricky Gillespie. Biology is taken by students in both college preparatory or general course. General science is an introductory course taken by many freshmen. 25 Science ABOVE: Celia Guerrero and Nora Garcia study some typical oxidation-reduction reactions, in an experiment made during the second period chemistry class. In chemistry, science-minded college bound students study chemical reactions, molecular ar- rangements and the principles of the field. Physics classes explore the science of matter and motion. 26 General courses are important The general course is designed for those students who do not plan to attend college, but expect to find a job immediately after high school graduation; or to attend trade, business or other vo- cational schools. Four years of practical English, United States history and American problems, and one year eachof mathematics and science are required of all students choosing this course. Electives may be chosen from classes offered by the commercial, home econom- ics and art departments or from wood or metal shops. BELOW: Second year art students sketch the high school building. One of these drawings was selected to be used on the end pages of this book. Fun- damentals of drawing and color, as well as craft projects are included in the beginning and advanced classes of art. 27 Wood and Metal Shops Edward Perez begins the final finishing of furniture made in advanced wood shop. First year students in both wood and metal shops learn fundamental skills and use of tools. Second year students make furniture and do ad- vanced metal work. Mechanical drawing is also offered to students wanting basic architectual and engineering drawing. 28 Practically every student, whether taking college preparatory or general courses, takes beginning typing. The business education classes provide training with two aims--personal use and a basis for additional vocational training. The student becomes acquainted with the business world and the economic problems of everyday living through bookkeeping, business economics, general busi- ness, and gains job skills in shorthand and advanced typing. Units on the use of calculators, duplicating machines, electric typewriters and alphabetic indexing are included in the second year typing classes. 29 Tom Olson explains a federal income tax form to Susan Morrow and vVallace Ashley in an American pro- blems class. This course must be taken by all high school seniors regardless of whether they are enrolled in the general or the college preparatory programs. Included in this course of study are everyday problems of American life, income taxes, the federal and state constitutions and politics and elections. In addition to the above course, world and United States history, the social science department offers practical civics and geography. 30 Home Economics Children are fun! One of the most interesting home economics classes of the year was the one period nursery school. Mothers were invited to bring their children so that the girls could study their habits. Mary Lou Madrid, Norma Altami- rano and Loretta Espinoza watch their guest, Master Nicolas Tellez, son of Mr. and Mrs. Greg Tellez. 31 Physical Education Many students choose physical edu- cation for their non-solid subject. The boys played touch football, basketball, and baseball and also participated in tumbling and weightlifting. The girls concentrated on basketball, volleyball, softball and tumbling. At right Gilbert Cueto is working out with the dumbells. 32 Driver’s Training Drivers education, a semester course, trained both college preparatory and general course students interested in safe and courteous driving habits. The course included actual driving conditions as well as class discussions and colorful films. Various tests were given to determine a student's depth perception, reflexes, and vision. As the semester progressed, the students .studied, gained con- fidence, and emerged as well-trained drivers.

Former prom king and queen, Phil Berra and Margie Camacho, relinquish throne to I960 royalty, Abel Peralta and Mary Helen Salcido. One of the largest freshman classes entered MHS in 1958. On the campus and in the halls were 187 green frosh with questioning eyes and probing minds. A lively soc-hop was attended by those who participated in the annual white washing of the M . After learning the basic pattern of the high school maze, the sophomores began taking stiffer courses, joining clubs and enjoying activities. The audi- torium trembled as they lustily yelled, We're the class that's full of fun. 1-9-6-1. Yea, Sophomores! As juniors they found themselves caught in a whirlpool of activity when they proudly prepared to step into senior shoes. They slipped beautiful class rings on their fingers; presented The Leavenworth Case, and danced at the gala spring prom, Neptune's Noc- turne. Their final year found them under the leadership of competent officers; Dick Rice, president; Reuben Xochihua, vice president; Helen Herrera, sec- retary; and Sherelle Williams, treas- Commencement came nearer and 133 became less anxious to graduate. Each felt more hesitant at the thought of leaving the place that had come to mean so much. This pause was only momentary and was soon dispelled by practices, caps and gowns, and college and career plans. Nevertheless, com- mencement night found them displaying mixed emotions with an abundant supply not only of smiles, but tears, as sen- iors bid their friends farewell. 50 Juniors Michael Aguilera Jenny Altamirano Nena Alvarez Diane Andrews Ernest Aragon Sally Amparano Cora Anaya Larry Armijo Priscilla Armijo Barbara Austin Challenging classes spur future seniors onward and upward.

Upperclassmen at last! Now those sophomores better watch their step. This is what the juniors were thinking when school started this fall. The thrill of shiny new class rings, the preparation for the class play, The Nitwits , and to top off a perfect year, the fantabulous junior prom. The challenges of new and more difficult classes added spice to the junior's first year as upperclassmen. Devoted class officers this year were Leonard Peete, president; Kenny Clemmer, vice-president; secretary- treasurer. The sponsors, Mr. Muck- leroy, Mrs. McGaughey, Miss Bittin- ger, and Mr. Reeves, assured the suc- cess of junior achievements. BELOW: Hurrah! They're here! was the delighted exclamations from Barbara Austin and Sandra Cox as they compare their new class rings. Winter Hi-Lites Peppermints, lemon drops, fruit slices, and ice cream cones depicted the theme, Candyland, M of the big social event of the sea- son, the annual Girls' League formal. The centerpiece, a candy house, was the starting point of the grand march lead by Girls' League President Linda Brown and Candyland King Alby Rodela. The tantalizing aroma of chili drifted in and out of the classrooms, enticing us to the Chili Supper sponsored by the Girls' League. Proceeds paid for the trip taken by high point girls to the convention in Scottsdale. 57 Winter Hi-Lites The double bell brought us in hordes to attend assemblies. Music or magic, plays or pep, whatever the program, we enjoyed it. Above left: A National Assembly performer dis- plays talent on his accordian. Bouncing cheerleaders urged school spirit at basketball pep assemblies. The National Honor Society initiation made us proud of students who possess qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. 58 New things never ceased to amaze us. An art exhibit aroused our curiosity. Above: Jim Todacheeny and others enjoy the paintings.

Now I'm not the lowest man on the totem pole. Sopho- mores congratulated each other as they began their second year of high school. Being looked upon with envy by the fresh- men gave thema feeling of importance and satisfaction. Foreseeing the increasing importance of good grades for future suc- cess, they met the challenge of new sub- jects with serious study. Elected to head this year's class of sophomores were Gary Preston, president; Lydia Pizano, vice-president; Cindy Dor- sey, secretary; and Gay Lynn Roberts, treasurer. The sophomore class suffered an emo- tional impact when death claimed the life of Michael Jones, on Oct. 29, I960, shortly after an automobile accident. Year’s end finds trained students ready to step into juniors’ shoes. Fun was blended in with work as the class of '63 welcomed the Frosh with a sock hop. Shown enjoying the dance, (pictured at right), are Charlene Carr, Jerry Williams, Sue Ed- wards, and Lee May. The class sponsors, Mrs. Ellen Vandervort, Mr. Joseph Galusky, Mr. Edward Pfeifer and Miss Roberta Watt, also attended the dance. 64 Virginia Aguilar Dickie Alcorn Peter Alexander Dora Altamirano Ruben Andazola Lupe Aragon Charlotte Archuletta Carmen Armijo Lydia Armijo Arlene Ashley Freshmen Patty Austin Eddie Barela Mary Beard Earl Begay Floyd Breshears, Jr. Neta Bridges Vernon Brown Dale Butler Albert Calderon, Jr. Gloria Camacho Frosh with careers in blueprint stage,begin four year task.

After much hard work they succeeded in transforming our school initial into a gleaming white letter. After the paint was mixed, a bucket brigade was formed to transport it up the hill. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Gilmer and Mr. Neil Zoeller, freshmen class sponsors, supervised the job. Meanwhile, the girls prepared a picnic lunch at the football field. Hungry boys fell to with gusto when they had finished their painting job on the mountain. Returning home, the freshmen pre- pared for the final step of initiation day, a dance given in their honor by the sopho- mores.

Helping them to understand the bewilderment of lockers, classes and crowded halls were the student of- ficers, Rosalie Peralta, president; Ronald Parra, vice-president; and Marceline Vasquez, secretary-treas- urer. Along with their student council, these executives successfully organized hall patrols and decorated the bulletin boards. These newcomers became adjusted to the senior high scholastic system as an honor society was or- ganized for them. Panel discussions were enjoyed often as demonstrated below by Joan Kinneberg, Stella Figueroa, Sharon Reed, Bernadine Campbell, and Saundra Williams, in a science class. 79 ACTIVITIES 81 G. A. A.

At the meetings which were held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, the girls played volley- ball, basketball, and in the spring, soft ball under the sponsor ship of Miss Janie Bittinger. The members were enthusiastic about earning points for pins and letters. To earn these points the girls sat in as- signed seats at the athletic events and attend all G. A. A. meetings. The pins and letters were awarded in an assembly at the end of the year. Activity busses were providedto take the girls home after their regular meet- ings.

Ricky Brokaw, Thelma Pinkston, Richard Lee, Helen Herrera, Connie Hayes, Nellie Mal- donado and Francis Waldorf take a curtain call after their successful assembly play. Aspiring actors, directors and producers had ample opportunity for expression as members of the Drama- tics Club. The first public performance was presented to the student body in a one- act comedy entitled Custer's Last Sit. Ricky Brokaw portrayed Custer, a bewildered babysitter for Pam and Peggy Winslow, played by Helen Herrera and Nellie Maldonado. Other actors were Francis Waldorf, Thelma Pink- ston, Richard Lee and Connie Hayes. This hilarious play was directed by co- sponsors Mr. Larry Cunningham and Mr. Vernon Schultz. Two trips spotlighted the year's activities. Several members traveled to EAJC to see a dramatic production and also t o Phoenix for the annual Shakespearean Festival. The entire student body was invited to try their skill at play writing. Helen Herrera won first prize of $5. 00 with her one-act comedy Double Trouble. Nellie Maldonado and Tommy Todd placed second and third. The winning play will be presented next year in a student assembly.

Excitement ran high among the members when they received their shiny new gold club pins, which they proudly exhibited for their friends to see. Entertainment at the bi-monthly meetings was provided by films on the Latin American countries and singing folk songs accompanied by the club's own mariachis. The pep assembly which they pre- sented before the Clifton games was a hilarious satire. 86 French Club ROW 1: Sherelle Williams, Shirley Rodgers, Judy Clover, Nancy Snyder, Deanna Johnson.

Other activities were color- ful movies about France, singing folk songs and corresponding with teenagers across the Atlantic. The officers were: John Bacon, president; Shirley Rodgers, vice pres- ident; Judy Clover, secretary; and Alan Buffo, treasurer. Mr. Ross Bridewell was the faculty advisor. At one of the regular meetings members ordered club pins. 87 Wildcat Originality aim of newspaper staff in mimeographed record. Stop the press! Where is the lead story? Typists scurry, typing and re- typing, correcting errors on a new mimeograph stencil, frantically trying to finish before the deadline. Thus the journalism class captured the headline events of the school year. The staff of ten seniors was headed by B o b Ballis, editor-in-chief, and Johnny Andrews, managing editor. The junior high editors were Ri- chard Orr, Priscilla Davidson, and Joan Kinneberg, directedby Mrs. Grace Chandler. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Larry Cunningham, the Wildcat staff produced a paper every two weeks, covering school news and all sports events. Papers were distributed during sixth period.

Directed by the dancing batons of drum major John Bacon and Mr. Jack Sweeney, director, the Morenci High School marching band completed an- other successful season. They partic - ipatedin all of the home football games. The bandmembers, cladin flashybraid covered uniforms, conducted their man- euvers from a showy company front. As they whipped into their snappy precision routines, the band added lus- ter and finesse to the half-time per- formances. Again this year, the pom pon girls gave that extra sparkle to the show. Composed of over seventy pieces, the band filled the air with rousing march music. When the excitement of the football season was over, the band, together with the choral department, ushered in the yuletide season with performan- ces for both the school and the public. Traditional Christmas carols as well as modern instrumentations were in- cluded in the program. The night before the Christmas concert, the members of the band and the concert choir enjoyed a delightful party. In the spring, the annual concert was given. The band also journeyed to Tucson to attend the University of Ari- zona regional festival. The return of the popular German band was one of the highlights of the music season. This group and the stage band presented an unbeatable combina- tion of listening quality. They per- formed for various civic groups as well as at assemblies for the student body. The Pep band also played at several of the home basketball games. Operating a band is a big job, and the following officers capably filled the responsible positions this year: ROW 1: Charlotte Huish and Juanita Abell, librarians; John Bacon, president; Clydene Dechert, secretary and Susan Morrow, librarian. ROW 2: Hector Ruedas, supply crew, Martin Ramirez, vice-president; John Monsegur, point keeper; Gilbert Vasquez, Eddie Anderson and Mike Stanley, supply crew, and Tom Olson, treasurer. 91 Stage Band The number of pieces in the stage band were reduced this year, but there was no reduction in the quality of sound as they played through another successful season. Members pictured above are ROW 1: Charles Patterson, trumpet, Richard Stoner, trombone, Martin Ramirez, tenor saxophone, Nellie Maldonado, alto saxophone, Earl Peterson, baritone saxophone. ROW 2: Susan Morrow, bass violin, Clydene Dechert, drums, Mary Lafferty, piano. Feats of precision and timing help stimulate school spirit. Under the watchful eye of director Jack Sweeney, the marching band maneuvered into the theme of a popular television hero, Zorro. This was only one of the formations which the band presented to home town fans, during the halftime performances at football games. 92 Band This year's vivacious and hard working pom pon girls were: ROW 1: Norma Arvallo, Linda Brown, leader, and Gloria Martinez. ROW 2: Janice McClellin, Erminda Alvillar, and Geraldine Allen. Pom pons give that added touch to colorful half-time shows. The playing of our national anthem was a customary procedure before each of the home football games. This was followed by the school's Alma Mater.

Each spring the bulletin boards around school suddenly bloom with cam - paign posters for student body candi- dates. Each candidate prepares and presents, at an assembly, a speech telling of his plans and capabilites. From this campaign, the students choose the officers who will best re- present them on the student council. Activities sponsored include the school and town clean-up campaign, Twirp Week, Western Day and the Na- tional School Assembly Programs. At the annual slave auction, the services of student leaders were sold for a day to raise money to contribute to the Crippled Children's Society. 100 Chairman Dick Rice presents Mrs. Mary Virginia Mayne of the Greenlee County Crippled Child- ren's Society with a $125 check, proceeds of the successful slave auction.

Dancing the Monterrey are Elaine Calderon, Sandra Rubio, Yolanda Flores, Ronnie Melendez, Yolanda Paez, Dora Medina and Richard Parra, at a party held for the seventh and eighth grades shortly before Halloween. The hall safety patrol, to regulate between-class traffic, was the first concern of the junior high student coun- cil. However, it was not all this type of work as the group planned dances and decorated special bulletin boards. The council is composed of the three elected student body officers and a representative from each eighth grade home room. This year's officers are Rosalie Peralta, president; Ronnie Parra, vice-president; and Marceline Vasquez, secretary. The sponsors are Mr. John Johnson and Mr. George Hearn.

Patti Edwards, Rosalie Pompa, and Charlotte Archuletta lead the student body in yells at a junior varsity football game. These games were always well-attended as is shown in the picture. 104 The varsity cheer- leaders were present at all games, had pep assemblies, and decorated the goal posts for home games. Most im- portant of all, they could always be counted upon to lead the student body in backing the team through victory or defeat.

The group held several successful activities during the year to provide money for purchasing the film neces- sary to make movies of all home football games. Lettermen sold cokes and candy at the home basketball games and spon- sored soc hops . Meetings were attended by mem- bers who have lettered in at least one major sport--football, basketball, track or baseball--during the year. Corsages were presented by var- sity football lettermen at the annual Mom's and Dad's Night. The Letter- man's Club also sponsored an all-sport banquet for all boys who participated in any sport, as a reward for the many boys who were faithful in attending practice and games and who helped to promote sportsmanship throughout the school. The sponsors this year were Mr. Truman Williamson and Mr. John Glodis. They helped plan and promote attendance at the club's many activities. The sponsors had close cooperation from the members and the officers and jointly came up with new ideas, which included the car washes which were held during the spring and which wound up the year's activities. 106 Letterman’s Club Kitty Holmes, Pat Godwin, Charlotte Huish, Ricky Brokaw, Ronald Duncan and Marsha Jones display their various dancing styles and abilities at one of the many Letterman's soc hops.

The successful performance was the result of weeks of rehearsals. The play dealt with the problems of two happy-go-lucky college students who are in desperate need of money for their final se- mesterof school. They poseas psychiatrists who advertise their services to people with mental problems. Problem patients arrived too fast for diagnosis - -but eventually the troubles were solved and money rolled in for the two doc- tors. The play was under the direction of Mr. William Muckleroy. Problems of scen- ery, make-up and advertising were handled by the other class sponsors, Mr. Harry Reeves, Miss Jane Bittinger and Mrs. Joy McGaughey.

A representative from Eastern Arizona Junior College at That- cher, who handles public relations and teaches journalism, delivered an enjoya- ble speech. The coveted Quill and Scroll awards were then presented to Tom Preston, Bob Ballis, Jackie Young, andShirley Rodgers. These student's contributions merited the honors which they received. Ranking in the upper third of the class, these stu- dents had done outstanding work in high school publications and journalism. The students must at least be juniors, and must have done work in high school publications for two years. They were recommended by Miss Marjorie Johnson, the advisor of the group, and met with the approval of the society's national executive secretary. Membership in this organization is one of the highest honors which can be awarded to high school journalists.

Chosen to represent Morenci at Boys' State were Dick Rice, John Bacon, J. D. Knott, and Mike Stanley. Attending Girls' State were Sherelle Williams, Linda Brown, and Nellie Maldonado. The sponsoring community organi- zations are the American Legion and Auxiliary, Lions Club, Rotary Club, Mine Mill Union, Emblem Club, and the Business and Professional Woman's Club. Boys' State and Girls' State were composed of counties and cities, each with individual governing, legislating and judiciating bodies. Each citizen participated fully in each event of the week-long session. As all positions were filled by popular elections or ap- pointments, the participants gained ex- perience in using voting machines and choosing the proper candidate for office. Speeches by Governor Paul Fannin and Secretary of State Wesley Bolin, of Arizona, introduced citizens of Boys' and Girls' States to the elected state officials. Other Arizona officials vi- sited also. Politics, the main feature of the week, did not overshadow the other problems facedby the American people today, in a democracy. Each citizen was given an idea of the problems that will face them in the years to come. Social and recreational events took their place along with political rallies and conventions, as representatives made new friends. 110 Junior High Honor Society ROW 1: Sponsor, Mrs. Davidson, Mary Vidales, Richard Orr, Patricia Rodriguez, Margaret Marietti, Lena Milligan, Sponsor Mr. Seamans.

The Miami Vandals, an old rival, came to Morenci and won 19-6 in a game that was sparked by a 87 yard kick-off return for a touchdown, by Mark Blankenship. The team was inspired after the fine game played against the powerful Vandals and won their first game of the season over Sunnyside the next week by a 19-13 score. Two touchdowns were made byRemijio Dominguez and one by Mark Blankenship. The Globe game resulted in a hu- miliating 53-0 defeat for the Wildcat squad.
