A STOLEN MOMENT before a window reflection enables students to appear neatly groomed Jor their next class. THERE’S NOTHING TO IT! Randy Nations calmly re- ceives tuberculin slcin test given by' the school nurse. March, April fly As summer vacation plans are formulated Before we realized it, March was upon us, and the promise of spring stimulated renewed activi- ties. This year, the traditional slave auction was held during TAP week. Patient students surren- dered themselves to a day of humble servitude for the benefit of Arizona crippled children. Ten- sion increased among staff members, as the final Copper Cat deadline approached, and deepsighs of relief were breathed when the final copy was mailed. Our country not only imported the Beat- les, but also English styles. A few daring girls began wearing high boots, textured hose and long socks. However, as soon as these became school wide fads, our bold individualists put their boots away with sighs of resignation, and began looking for something new and different.

DRESSED IN COLORFUL native attire, Spanish Club candidates give command performance for initiation. One innovation of the year was Career Night, sponsored by the Student Council. Guest speak- ers from various fields discussed with juniors and seniors and their parents possible vocational choices and all the education and training needed. Job futures in the world of automation and space as well as the professions were considered. Two budding orators vied for honors in the an- nual Oratorical Contest which was sponsored by the Arizona Republic and American Legion. Ken Evans went on to compete in the district contest, hoping to be a representative at the state meet. With the month’s end, the long weeks of eager anticipation ended, as junior class rings arrived. These glittering symbols of upperclassmanship were proudly shown to the envious underclassmen and very dignified, but condescending seniors. CONGRATULATING oratorical winner, ' K. Evans and opponent C. Dunckhorst, is Mr. P. lemons. County School Superintendent. CAUGHT UNAWARE. Danny Troutman waits for a picture.
