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.

Fall Hi-Lites A Labor Day swim rang down the cur- tain on summer activities. Fall was here and school began. 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.
