IS Tl IF. RE ROOM in the trunk? Student Council members and their sponsors prepare to leave for the convention. pl-3-H. special projects noth of the language clubs and several groups from the vocal music department spent evenings caroling up and down Morenci’s hills and levels. Town citizens were treated with familiar music sung in French, Spanish, and of course, English. All students and teachers were given the usual Christmas present by the administration .... two weeks of vacation. Hut it began a half-day early, when a flurry of snow caused the Christmas Band ssembly to be canceled, and school busses were hastily equipped with chains. Band members, a- long with their dates, participated in an evening to belong remembered .. the annual holiday party. Weeks of suspense which followed the band s bal- loting ended when the Sweethearts were announ- ced. These titles were awarded to Armando Ra- mirez and Sandra Bacon.

Much to our dismay, though sometimes to our secret relief, faithfully made resolutions were already broken w hen school again began. When all measurements w ere taken for caps and gowns, seniors suddenly realized that graduation day w as just around the corner. Some began a frenzied attempt to crowd the remaining weeks with pre- viously postponed projects. Although the Wild- cats were not conference leaders, all home bas- ketball games were crowded. Tennis enthusiasts practiced daily, hoping to secure squad positions. for thirteen students, the last week of Janu- ary brought fulfillment of ambitions ... they were tapped for National Honor Society membership.
