Time outs at foot- ball games meant rest and a review of strategy for the Wildcats. At the right Coach Ray McDowell's JV squad discuss the previous quarter with their coach. This squad had an undefeated season. Our school spirit was nevermore evident than on the field and court at our home games. Cheer- leaders Virginia Patterson, Kitty Holmes, Sherry Andrews, not pictured Patsy Romine, and Patti Edwards led the yelling at our foot- ball games. The pep band was also an important ingredient in our boundless and lasting school spirit. Stir- ring fight songs were played at many pep as- semblies and the strains of On Morenci thrilled us every time. 7 8 sdsieni bliei, f ormais provide variety. Assemblies and dan- ces are an important part of our school life. Two formal and several in- formal ones provide a well rounded social atmosphere. At the left Shirley Cooper, Girls' League President, and Merrill Burk, Girls' League King, lead the grand march at the annual Girls' League Formal. Next in line were Allen Williams and Kitty Holmes. When Morenci regained the copper ignot after the annual grid scrap with Clifton, Margaret Tea, president of the Clifton Student Council, returned the trophy at a special assembly, to Leonard Peete, Morenci Student Council president.

Davidson, falls the numerous respon- sibilities of administration necessary to keep the Morenci School system func - tioning properly. To do this and still have time for a smile and a friendly hello are traits much admired. Mr. Davidson received his B.S. degree from Weatherford College and his M. S. degree from Sul Ross State. He is active in both community and church groups. He recently received the honor of being listed in the Arizona Who's Who. Mr. Davidson is also a member of Phi Delta Kappa, a national honorary fraternity. Striving to increase the efficiency of The Morenci School system, our board of education has the task of governing our schools. Members are Mr. David H. Orr, president; Mr. Claude Tuell, clerk and Mr. A, L. Alexander, who are always alert to solve the problems which arise from our school population. Mr. P. H. Davidson Supe rintendent Mr. Claude Tuell Mr. David H. Orr Mr. A. L. Alexander Clerk President Member 16 principals One of the busiest men in our school is our principal, Mr. Clarence L. Robinett. Although keeping a busy daily schedule, he always has time to lend a helping hand to a student in distress. Succe ssfully completing his second year as high school principal, he strives to promote school spirit and greater scho- lastic achievement. Mr. Robinett is a graduate of Grand Canyon College, and receivedhis mas- ter's degree from Arizona State Uni- versity. Mr. Darrell Evans, vice -principal, received his B. S. and M. A. degrees from Texas Western College. Mr. Paul Lemons, business mana- ger for the school district is a graduate of Arizona State University. Besides ordering supplies and equipment, and supervising their distribution, he finds timeto keep the account records for all high school activities.

The administrators would be ove r- whelmed with details, if it were not for the assistance given by their secretaries. They answer dozens of phone calls daily, keep school records, and cope with the in- numberable pro- blems which arise daily in our school system.

The endless task of keeping our halls, erasers and floors clean was the responsibility of our reliable custodial staff. Before and after school the staff is hard at work sweeping the floors, straightening the desks in classrooms and keeping the halls free of dust and bits of litter. In addition, supplies must be delivered, doors and windows checked and the many emergencies are handled with a smile and capable as- sistance. Right: O. D.

Pencils, paints and brushes are important to all art students ! Primary- colors were mixed into shades and tints and combined to make other colors. As students learned to mix colors they also learnedthe necessary theories and principles. Films on colors and tech- niques supplemented class instruction. Both beginning and advanced art classes did water and oil painting-- doing both landscapes and portraits. Many leather craft projects, including gun holsters, bill folds and belts were completed. In all classes originality was emphasized and developed. Sketching trips around Morenci were also made and resulted in interest- ing pencil work. Zeke Sanchez finishes his oil painting. 28 enro tifipinq. Working on units on the calculators are ad- vanced typing students, Connie Hayes, Glenn Hayes, James Holmes and Yolanda Herrera. Students enrolled in business clas- ses become acquainted with problems of everyday living. Consumer problems of budgeting income, buying goods and services, using communications and travel ser- vices, and the handling of money are a few of the fundamentals included in gen- eral business and business economics classes. Bookkeeping is concerned with the recording of information of business transactions and activities. It provides the student with opportunity to apply his training in arithmetic and penmanship and to learn to keep personal accounts, as well as securing an introduction to accounting principles. Nearly 150 students each year take beginning typing. Here too, the goals are dual, learning to type for personal use and securing a foundation for vo- cational training. Advanced typing pro- vides an acquaintanceship with index- ing, electric typewriters, duplicating machines and calculators. One year of shorthand provides another vocational opportunity. Duplicating machine assignments are given on both the mimeograph and ditto machines. School pro- grams are mimeographed as is the school newspaper. Donna Watson and Ann Tysoe are running off a stencil cut by Ann. In both beginning and advanced typing, students take at least four-five minute timed writings each week and their speed is recorded on a bar graph. In- specting the speed chart and pointing out their highest scores to date--are: Janice Eisenacher, Eddie Cocking, and Ricky Gillespie. Pi, sicaf fatness stressed. Kenneth Brooks somersaults over Micky Williams, Aaron Ramirez, Ronnie Melendez, David Lan- ceri, and Daniel Maza. 30 The aims of physical education in both high school and junior high clas- ses, are the building of an efficient, well co-ordinated body, free from dis- ease, possessing enough strength and endurance to meet the maximum de- mands of a day of work and play. In the boys classes, teams com- peted in basketball, touch football and baseball. Students also participated in weight lifting, tumbling and calis- thenics. The girls' classes played basket- ball, volleyball and softball. Tumbling was also enjoyed by many girls. LEFT: Volleyball was played by com- peting girls' teams during intramural tournaments. ABOVE: Carmen Armijo and Virginia Aguilar watch as Mr. Thelo Motes explains the depth per- ception test. One hundred twenty four students were enrolled in the one semester course of drivers training. All students had to be at least fifteen years four months old at the beginning of the se- mester in order to take the course. Reports were given on many sub- jects --including the use of seat belts, brakes, and safety rules. Tests were taken by the students to determine their ability to see while driving at night; to determine depth perception; the quick- ness of their reflexes, and whether or not thev Dossessed normal vision. When they were fifteen years seven months old, the students obtained a drivers permit which allowed them to drive when accompanied by an adult driver. Group discussions and assignments continued until the students gained con- fidence in themselves and knew the traf- fic laws and the fundamentals of driving. After this opportunity was given them to continue their training by driving the new 1962 Chevrolet training car. After much practice, and many mistakes the students were able to drive with courtesy, sa'fety, and ac- curacy. 31 Patricia Smith reads a portion of ThanatopsisJunior classmates are Mary Helen Sanchez, Arturo Mendoza, Darrel Miller and Lydia Pizano. Cavalcade Magazine is enjoyedby seniors Pat Romine, Barbara Austin and Kay Nelson. In the midst of paper, pencils and notebooks, the English students worked to complete an all-important year of study. Among their goals was to acquire a much larger and more useful vocabu- lary. Training in grammar and voca- bulary is necessary in order to be able to adequately use and understand our English language. Literature is an important part of the study of English, and is enjoyed by the students. Humorous stories, sport stories, adventures, poems, and plays were read in all sections and all years. Classics studied included several Shake- sperian plays. Scenes from As You Like It, and A Comedy of Errors were enacted in classes. These were enthusiastically enjoyed by all who par- ticipated either by acting or watching. 32 Six weeks and semester tests, and quizzes were given regularly, including parts of speech, grammar, and litera- ture . All the English teachers stressed individual improvement so that all stu- dents might have an adequate language background for their future vocational and culture needs. The English curriculum is divided into two groups of classes-practical English for personal and vocational use and college English which gave special emphasis in grammar and writing for those students who were college bound. In addition, a class in speech and one of journalism are included in the English curriculum. HUNTING FOR A BOOK are Cora Anaya and Larry Armijo. Book reports were required every six weeks in all classes. Booklists dis- tributed at the beginning of the year gave them a wide choice from classics, novels, biblio- graphy, and modern fiction. PANEL discussion, a technique for learning and speaking in public, were used in classes. Above are Arthur Mendoza, Maxine Gomez, and Brenda Bradford.

Learning the fundamentals of sew- ing, child care, cooking, and good grooming were some of the girls' basic goals. Films pertaining to the class pro- jects were shown the classes andhelped make the discussions more understand- able and interesting. Subjects included child development, styling, and foods. March brought the colorful bloom- ing of skirts, blouses, capris and dress - es as the girls showed-off their com- pleted outfits at a style show given on Parent's Night. Some of the faculty were given a chance to enjoy the girls' accomplish- ments when they were guests at a break- fast and a dinner held for them. s learn.

Vocabulary tests, learning to conjugate verbs and translating lit- erature are daily fare in the foreign language classes. In addition to the regular class- room work, the students find time to enjoy corresponding with foreign teenagers, participating in the lan- guage clubs and singing in the French choir. The advanced French students also subscribe to La Vie , a news- paper written in the language they are studying. Two years of Spanish and three of French are currently included in the curriculum. This was the first time that French III had been given, and the two students enrolled met with the second year group.

One interesting facet of the biology course was the projects and reports made for extra credit. Outstanding pro- jects included the internal structure of a grasshopper made from cotton, string and know-how ; an eye -ball made from a ping-pong ball; a nerve cell; leaf cross-section; a longi section; a clam cross-section. Also an amoeba and a fried egg were made from clay. Other models included a tooth, paramecium and euglena. Reports were given on many dif- ferent phases of biology, including dis- ease, physiology, plants and even on the making of potato chips. Excellent drawings of plants and animals were also made. Spice was added to the course through the use of numerous movies. Students will not soon forget, Henrietta, the skeleton, who shared her bones for study. The aim of the biology course is to teach students the relation of living things to their surroundings. The goal is to make the students interested in why living things act and perform the Fish, worms, grasshoppers, c rayfish and frogs were dissected during the year. Donald Archer, Charles Humphry and Charles Carr are shown dissecting a fish. 36 Amidst a bewildering maze of test - tubes, Bunsen burners, and chemical compounds, Juniors and Seniors en- rolled in the advanced science courses dealt with the mysteries of our universe. Chemistry students concentrated on learning how, where and why a che- mical reaction occurs. Films supple- mented their textbooks and helped clar- ify the methods in which chemistry is applied to our daily lives. Lab manuals were present two days each week as the young scientists participated inexperi- ments . The physics class studied the be- havior of matter. Their lab time was consumed with first-hand observation of electricity, gravitational f o r c e s, and magnetism. Eddie Anderson.

Our program includes every phase of the science of numbers from the fun- damental principles of arithmetic and basic algebraic equations to the com- plicated process of solving general tri- angles by the use of trigonometric func - tions. The courses offered in our cur- riculum include general math, beginning and advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. Peter Alexander and Floyd Peters experimentwith the slide rule (large size!) which hangs above the blackboard in the math room. Byrd Farrow and Richard Alcorn study methods of proving figures congruent. The development of the ability to reason logically is an important phase in all mathematics classes, but is given special emphasis in geometry. 38 Cjueiti ipeah to Social Sc CL icience laiiei . Representative Morris Udall spoke to the American Problems classes and answered ques- tions about the state legislature and the political parties. Listening students are Alan Buffo, Frances Wilcox, Frank Diaz and Clifford Martin. The social studies curriculum is much broader than history. It includes an intensive study of how people live and the economic pressures which are so important if we are to understand the reactions of other countries. Four years of social studies are available to our students and the class- es offered include world history, United States History, American Problems, practical civics and geography. As the course titles indicate, world history deals with all people and all countries and American History deals with the historical background of our own country. American Problems is the senior course, and it helps the student to un- derstand the problems facing the world and our country today.

Gilbert Estrada does the sanding necessary before putting in the bottom of his cedar chest. Turnitu re projecti comp in woo George Montoya and James Williams move George's nearly completed cedar chest. Students taking woodshop receive a background in a field which offers opportunity to many types of ability. Many students who plan a career as draftsmen, contractors, or carpenters signup for beginning and advanced wood shop. In addition to learning fundamental skills, the students learn an apprecia- tion for good craftsmanship. These skills, if not used vocationally, can provide pleasure andenjoyment in hobby work. First year class members were taught these fundamentals, and to op- erate various machines, including the jig-saw, miter box, saws, planes, and clamps. They worked on projects which included cutting boards, desks, shelves, and tables. Advanced students completed more complicated projects. Cedar chests and gun cabinets were made by some of these members. When mathematics and science are also taken, it gives wood shop students an excellent chance to enter the wood industry field. 40 Wetaf objecti made David Gaddy works on a mechanical drawing assignment; projected views of a solid object. Alex Esparza and James Dockins turn and finish lathes. Machines roar and sparks fly wher metal shop students learn to operate drills and lathes. First year students learn to work with wrought iron and sheet metal. Ad- vanced student's projects are designed to further develop the basic skills ac- quired during their first year. Welding is included in the second year. Hammers, screwdrivers, trays, cups, funnels and many other articles, are made by class members for their own and family use. One year of mechanical drawing is also offered, and students learn the fundamentals of making and reading in- dustrial blueprints. parts of tap wrenches they are making on the 43 Sen iorS Maria Socorra Alvarez Mike Aguilera MIKE AGUILERA Activities: Band 1,2, 3,4.

A note of sadness was present in senior voices, however, as their final year of high school neared the end! The simplest method of introducing happy memories is as near as the closest Copper Cat. A mere glance at the '59 book reminds the Mighty Seniors of their initial year. The most important highlights included the annual whitewashing of the M and the dance given them by the sophomores. A quick look at the following annual brings back more memories. The class of '62 was the largest one, with 171 students. Most of them settled down to their studies, and found it paid off. Nancy Beck and David Orr were awarded scholarships for the summer science work shop in physics at the University of Arizona. The '61 Copper Cat showed the class as juniors. They were working harder both in and out of school, and were telling the community about their achievements. The Nitwits, a three - act comedy was presented by the class to a large crowd, who enjoyed the hi- larious performance. Later in the year, they received their traditional rings and used Holland in Bloom as the theme for their prom. The strong emphasis of science again paid off when Sandra Ruth Wilmoth Mary Dominguez Nancy Beck, David Orr, and Francis Waldorf attended summer science work- shops . The memories of their senior year are of course, most vivid. Gilbert Figueroa was chosen president; Jimmy Todacheeny, vice-president, and Irene Estes, secretary-treasurer. Many students took advantage of opportunities to visit state colleges on Senior Days. Room for One More, was suc- cessfully presented to the public. The senior banquet preceded the junior prom, and the annual senior assembly was presented. On June 2, the class of '62 became graduates of Morenci High School. Abel Peralta and Mary Salcido relinquish their crowns to Joe Corona and Emilia Gomez, king and queen of last springs1 junior prom. Attendants were: Kenny Clemmer, Kay Nelson, Shirley Cooper, Merrill Burk, John Monsegur and Leonard Peete. juniori Norma Altamirano Edward Anderson Harry Anaya Joyce Aragon Sherry Andrews Manuel Arguellez Corina Alvillar Margaret Arvallo George Baca Lupe Bailon John Bergamo Brenda Bradford Lynda Bradford William Bryant Jesus Camacho Ross Campbell Jean Carter Thomas Chavez Gloria Cisneros Terry Cluff Terry Conyer Charlie Castillo Alan Crawford Dolores Cueto Cindy Dorsey Gloria Dominguez Quincy Drew Dennis Duncan Kenneth Easley Patti Edwards 59 juniors Pauline Esparza Frank Estrada Bart Gale Dorothy Gates Carlos Garcia Martha Gomez Ray Giddens Manuel Gonzales Olga Gonzalez Virginia Gonzalez Charlotte Hall Danny Ham Connie Hayes Dorothea Hayes Bias Herrera Richard Herrera Yolanda Herrera Kitty Holmes Donald Horn Richard Kerr Tangy Lara Sharyn Lockwood Margaret Lozano Margaret Luna Larry McDaniel Linda McFadden Michael McGaha Terry Maehl Louis Maez Isabel Maldonado 60 juniori Clifford Martin Virginia Martinez Hector Maza Troy Megason Arturo Mendoza Mike Merino Darrel Miller Ray Milligan Verna Milligan Ruben Montoya Ruben Moreno Richard Nations Cecelia Navarrete Don Nelson Eloisa Ontiveros Rosie Ortega Lucy Ortiz Alice Padilla Tony Paez Virginia Patterson Gilbert Pena Arlene Peru Floyd Peters Lydia Pizano Carla Points Irene Ponce Gary Preston Larry Rains Martin Ramirez Aaron Ramirez 61 juniori Sara Ramirez Jan Ramsey Celia Romero Helen Romero Juan Romero Cheryl Ross Bessie Sierra Olivia Sierra Mary Sanchez Wilfred Santa Cruz George Sloan Patricia Smith Robert Tice Robert Tomerlin Ann Tysoe Joe Valtierra John Vasquez David Velasquez Donna Watson Janna Ward John Wilbanks Frances Wilcox Allen Williams Sandy Wilson Jimmy Wood Not Pictured: John Dominguez Faye Garrett Janice Hillier Gail Raley Bonnie Lee Krider Where did the first two years go ? ask the zealous students who find them- selves among the 116 juniors struggling with another year of classes, projects and tests. In the remaining hours they 62 found time to actively participate in sports, music, publications and dra- matics . Carlos Garcia, was elected presi- dent: Connie Hayes, vice president: Cindy Dorsey, Secretary: and Terry Maehl, treasurer. Class sponsors were Mr. Ed Pfeifer, Mrs. Ellen Vandervort, Mrs. Lajuan Cook, and Mr. Robert Adams.

At this concert, the band, along with the choral depart- ment, presented traditional carols as well as modern adaptations.

ROW 2: Charles Patterson, Johnny Andrews, Gene Wasson and BobBallis. All members have carried much responsibility either on the Wild Cat or on the Copper Cat. Membership into national honorary society attained by five. Adopting as its symbols the quill and scroll, writing implements of ages past, a national honorary group recog- nizes outstanding achievement by those who write and edit the student publica- tions of America's secondary schools. Using a typewriter for a quill and a sheet of paper for a scroll, Morenci High School journalists set their goal for admittance into this honor society. Outstanding staff members were initiated at the annual Quill and Scroll Banquet in the spring. This banquet marked the end of a year's hard work by both the annual and the newspaper staffs. Guest speaker at the initiation held in May I960 was Dr. B. T. Holden who presented a very intere sting speech on the Dead Sea Scrolls. This was fol- lowedby the formal initiation ceremony. Those initiated were Johnny An- drews, Jean Drace, Charles Patterson, Dick Rice, and Gene Wasson. They were presented with a membership card and a pin by Shirley Rodgers and Bob Ballis, members, and the faculty ad- visor, Miss Majorie Johnson. In addi- tion to both publications staffs, several faculty membe rs, who had given special assistance to the publications were guests. In order to be eligible for member- ship into this society, a student must rank in the upper one-third of his class and have done outstanding work in high school journalism or publications. The student must be at least a junior; have been in the department for two years; and be recommended by the local advi- sor and met with the approval of the national secretary.

Gilford was presented by the junior class on December 8. This play was twice produced on the Alfred Hitchcock program and is typical of his mixture of farce and tragedy. Alexander Arlington, portrayed by Michael McGaha, was a famous mystery writer, who was shocked to find him- self in heaven without knowing who had murdered him. Sent back to earth by archangel Michael, he found that every- one in his household had substantial motives for murdering him. Asa result the question of who dunnit remained unsolved until the last moment of the play, when his fiancee Vivian was re- vealed as the murderess. The cast was directed by Miss Edna Williams, who was assisted by Linda McFadden as student director. Entries in the local oratorical contest this year were: ABOVE: Charlotte Huish, Charles Patter- son, and Ricky Gillespie.

Because of many first game penalties during the first-half, the Wildcats could move neither on the ground or in the air. The second half of the game was all Morenci's, but despite their fine comeback the cats could not muster enough points for a victory. The gun sounded with the Caballeros leading 26-13. Buena traveled to Morenci to give us our first home game, and after play- good ball, the Wildcats won from the Colts 18-6. Mighty Douglas was the next out- of-town opponent. The Bulldogs, who later won the Class A Championship, skinned Morenci 53-6. The annual copper ingot game was played in Morenci this season. The Trojans of Clifton fell before the Wild- cats, 13-0. This contest was sparked by Frankie Pompa's 94 yard kick-off return at the beginning of the second half. The copper ingot was returned to us for the twelfth time, in 24 years of play. Clifton has also won it twelve times. However, this was the first time in four year s that the Trojan team was held scoreless. Game number five, was the defen- sive battle with Safford, who won 19-0. Morenci then traveled to meet the Miami Vandals, only to be handed a 20- 0 defeat. This game was close, except for the second quarter, when Miami shook loose their speedy backs for three quick touchdowns. Sunny side was the fourth home game. It, too, was a close and exciting game, but the visitors scored the win- ning touchdown in the final minutes of play and won 21 -13. The Globe Tigers downed the cats 22-6 in the final home game. The last game was played in Bisbee, and the Pumas, old rivals, took advan- tage of Wildcat blunders to win 26-0. Team members receiving honora- ble mention on the A-South Squad were Dick Kerr, Rudy Vega, and Frankie Pompa. On the All-State Squad, Dick Kerr and Allen Williams rated honor- able mentions.

Two of the seniors were the only team members with var- sity experience. In the opening game of the season, the Wildcats played good ball control to beat the Clifton Trojans 22-17. Duncan traveled to Morenci to be defeated in a very close and exciting game. Duncan held the lead for most of the game, but in the final minutes Morenci pulled ahead to win 37-34. These first two games were the only ones the hapless Wildcats won, as they lost the next 18 games. There were many exciting games and some very close ones, but the local team could not seem to be on top when the final gun sounded. For the final game of the year, the Wildcats traveled toSafford to face the Bulldogs, who were rated in the top five teams in the Arizona South A Confer- ence. This game proved to be one of the best of the season, with the Cats being edged out by only six points. Merrill Burk was the leading scorer for Morenci, hitting 19 points. The final score was 60-54. The Class A South Basketball Tournament was held in Miami the week- end of February 23. Morenci faced Ajo for their first game, as the underdogs, since the Miners were supporting a 14- 4 record.
