SPUING fling is enjoyed at annual eighth grade meet. May Brings Prom, Finals; Seniors Press Remaining Days Completely dazed, we discovered another year had sljpped past. It seemed impossible that all the plans made and goals set had been realized. Seniors panicked and tried to cram six months into one, while underclassmen were concerned only with final exams. There is nothing like a prom. It is a unique high school experience which is often relived moment by moment. . . the new dress . . . first orchid . . . off-key music. Proud journalists were initiated into Quill and Scroll, and the Copper Cats arrived, banishing at last, staff fears of loss in transit.

After three years of anticipation and a year of detailed ground work under the direction of Mr. Everett Myers, high school principal, our school w as visited, the last week in October, by a group of fifteen evaluators of the North Central Associ- ation. While Morenci High School has been fully accredited since 1942, and the faculty has period- ically studied their regulations and recommenda- tions, this was the first time since 1941 that an evaluation team has visited our classes. We are the first Arizona school to be re-evaluated under the new policy requiring team visits every seven years. The Board of Education and Superintend- ent Davidson have planned towards this for four years. A change in high school administration, however, caused the postponement until this year. Faculty members and the North Central repre- sentatives met for the first time at a dinner hosted by Mr. Davidson and the Board of Education on October 25. Following this, the guests visited with teachers in their classrooms, becoming ac- quainted w ith the school facilities and the philoso- phies and problems of the various departments.
