SCHOOL BEGINS WITH Strike Worry cloud, dance, class voting Students began this year with more than their usual quota of worries. The Steelworkers strike had closed Phelps Dodge operation the middle of July and no settlement was in sight. With help from company credit, union allowances for lunchroom tokens and books, most students began school with the necessary books and supplies. Following registration, life was readjusted to the sound of alarm clocks and school bells. The first weekend found freshmen struggling up the mountain to whitewash the M and sophomores welcoming new students with a dance. ln rapid succession came meeting new teachers and the taking of individual and senior pictures. Excitement bubbled as our school sweaters came out of moth balls for the first home football game. All too soon came mid time of the first grading period. Some students were proud while others resolved to work harder next time. LAZ Y SA TURDA YS, above, found football fans adding spirit to I V. games.

DEADLINE time caused Copper Cat staffmembers to work overtime on Saturdays. Bottom: WORLDSERIESFEVER, sympton: eyes glued to T. V. set, as shown by baseball fans. 8 Almost before we were aware of it, October flew in with falling leaves and chilly evenings, and hardly-acquired suntans faded with the sun's warm heat. Student and faculty enjoyed the World Series on study hall television. Excitement was high as Saint Louis took the first game. Juniors signed for the PSAT test and senior girls packed and repacked clothes to take to Senior Day in Tucson. October was also the month for initiating new club members. A seven week first grading period gave beginning linguists and typists time to gain more skill before report cards. As always some were happy and some resolved to work harder. Then came Halloween. Some of us embarked on trick-or-treating and the girls attended the All Girl Costume Party. 0cToBER BRINGS First report cards, 9-...,?. PRACTICED ROUTINES by J.
