Now, a quarter of a century later, we stop to remember and reflect on changes that our school, town, and yearbook have made. 1'he first edition originated as an Honor Society project, edited by Klizabeth Fairbanks and Mary Lou Foutz. It had three advisors, Miss Marjorie Johnson, Mrs. Ixyuise Park and Miss Marcine Vandaveer. Ml copy of the first two volumes was typed and justified in the Business Education Department and division pages were mimeographed. Ihe first edition, a paper-back book, showed underclassmen and faculty in group pictures, and sold for 81..’ (). The first hard cover appeared on the 1948 volume, with all copy set up on the varityper. Two years later the Copper Cal became independent of the Honor Society and soon afterwards became a curricular activity. As school and community have grown, so has the Copper Cat. The first publication had 40 pages printed on one side; recendy over 160. Now, too, is a time to remember changes of our school. 3 4 VIEW OF MORENCI at completion of new MHS building, above. Left, USED in 1963 Copper Cat is H. Empie mural. Below, RECEIVING first All-American. In 1945 there were 28 seniors and 15 faculty members, with a student body of about 200. Today we have 130 seniors, 600 in the student body and 31 on the teaching staff. Our present high school building was completed in 1950, at a cost of $739,000, and the move set the theme for the Copper Cat, It’s a Great Life in Our New School”. Six additional classrooms were added in 1954, and the new auditorium was built a year later. Curricular offerings have increased and activities have come and gone, according to student interests. Since the early editions, the yearbook has followed community history and progress-taking tiine to record local changes-and in 1963 to give recognition to the 50th anniversary of Arizona statehood. I he staff yearly entered national contests and by 1950, was receiving consistent first class ratings and the first of a series of Medalist ratings from Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The coveted All-American proved more elusive, and was first awarded by the National Scholastic- Press in 1963, for an edition which featured Hal Empie’s mural of Greenlee County History on its end pages. That honor has been retained for the past seven consecutive years. In 1967 the AIPA instituted awards for Arizona yearbooks and the local book has received an All-Arizona Award for both books published since that time. Another high point in Copper Cat history was the recognition of the '66 edition, with a theme of a Salute to the First Americans'', as one of the best ten yearbooks in the United States. And with tlie publishing of this, the 25th Copper Cat, it is a TIME TO REMEMBER- The Year 6 Sports and Activities 26 Academics 70 Classmates 98 Community 138 Crammed Halls, The beginning of another school year brought sleepy summer days to an end and happy students back to old friends and busy schedules.

But the gaiety didn’t last long, as students started preparing for semester exams. Many were seemingly saved by a flu epidemic, one which not only crippled the student body but also the faculty. Students were more or less on their own in various classes, since some teachers were absent for several weeks. Copper Cat staff members worked diligently to meet their deadline and choir groups tried to correct mistakes before the F.A. Music Festival. Junior Play was cast and prom royalty- elected, thus adding more excitement to the lives of the novice upperclassmen. As January blustered into F ebruary, students yearned for long-lost memories of last spring and the feel of a sweatshirt. Seniors were measured brtJ Flu Epidemic for caps and gowns, and began realizing that graduation was less than a semester away. But artistic talents weren't all wasted dreaming of the future.

She participated in this year’s tennis program and, by serving a mean stroke, ranked high in the standings. MERRILY entertaining at a Delta Kappa Gam- ma meeting, Maria performs a Candle Dance.

SAFFORD, 0-33 For their first home game, Moren- ci gave their fans a good game, even though they lost. They hit hard all through the game, but Safford’s im- pressive offense baffled the local de- fense all evening. McGaha passed for 120 yards, but with no result as the scoreboard revealed the night’s tallies. 30 SUPERIOR, 40-0 The local eleven sprang into con- ference play by demolishing the Pan- thers, 40-0.

SAN MANUEL, 40-13 By defeating the Miners, the local gridders were given a chance for a conference championship. On the sec- ond play from scrimmage, Lester Wright sprinted 60 yards for a touch- down. The Wildcats led after only 59 seconds of play, keeping the lead un- til the final gun.

No tallies were made during the first quarter, but Eloy capitalized on a few Morenci mistakes in the second. They led at half-time, 16-0. An in- jury to senior Duane Sexton seemed to have slowed down the local eleven’s offensive machine. Eloy scored 16 more points in the last half. The Eloy announcer paid the local gridders a great compliment by saying, 'This Morenci team is the hardest hitting team that Eloy has faced this season!” 69-70 JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL includes: FRONT ROW: Darrell West, manager; Frankie Rios, Harry Rodriguez, Robert Marin, Darrell Daniels, Arthur Ortiz, Larry Serna, William Lemons, Robert Merino, Frank Sierra, Greg Galusky, Greg Gilliland, Gary Grey, manager. 2ND: John Naccarati, manager; Demicio Sierra, Blaine Wright, Rocky Melton, Dav- id Romero, Leon Ramirez, Rene Reyna, Steve Hayden, Ralph Gonzales, Pat Nabor, Albert Sigala, Raymond Madrid, Ro- bert Baca, Tony Vigil. 3RD: Jerry McBride, Tommy Hendrix, Mike Acosta, Manuel Garcia, Chano Tellez, Miguel Gon- zales, Gilbert Gaxiola, Joe Peralta, Walden Bruce, Peter Chavez, Gilbert Sierra, Gabriel Maldonado, Wallace Peshlakai.

Morenci was behind two points, Jones Toda- cheeny dribbled and shot. Thebuzzer sounded; the ball went through the net. In the overtime, the local squad over- came the exhausted Bulldogs, 18-47.

MHS Sluggers Victors of Double Header Battle With Dust Devils ■ -w Because of traffic problems, Wild- cat sackers had difficulty getting to and from practice. Tunnel construc- tion forced players to detour through the tortuous mountain roads, making them late to practice. Opening with a no hitter, the bat-men convinced spec- tators of their potential. However, the season did not go as anticipated. All double headers were split, except two. In one bout Morenci nipped Santa Cruz 5-0 and 6-2. The first game was sparked by Hal Gilliland’s home run over the 328’ mark. With San Man- uel, Daniel Lopez pitched a no hitter; Robert Ruiz lost his battle, allowing two runs.

The energetic net- ters bounded across the courts to re- turn serves during long, daily hours of practice. New players were seen striving to develop smooth serves and backhand strokes, while the veterans tried to improve old and new skills. A boys' team was formed last year. However, they could not engage in in- terscholastic competition until this season. Although most of the boys had little experience, they made rea- sonable showings in all their matches. The girls’ team also began another season. Although many girls returned from last season, the inexperienced beginners outnumbered them, hong practices soon conditioned them to the mental and physical stresses of ten- nis. The season’s results, with Toni Ramirez and Roberta Manzanares holding top places, were: Morenci, 0, Clifton, 9; Morenci, 0, Duncan, 10; Morenci, 0, Duncan, 9; Morenci, 0, Safford, 8. The third doubles of the Safford game were not finished be- cause of a late start. However, Mo- renci led until they were called off. The Morenci teams contended with Clifton, Duncan, Safford, and That- cher. Though very determined, nei- ther team was able to win a game. GIRLS'varsity, intermural tennis teams: FRONT ROW: M.

Sell Ribbons, Spark Rallies Although inexperienced, the officers were enthused and the enthusiasium generated a rebirth of spirit through- out the school. The bonfire before the crucial Coolidge football gamespark- ed feelings of pride and desire for re- venge for last year’s defeat. These feelings the team carried out onto the field and crushed the defending Class A Champs in a stunning upset victory. Basketball season found many stu- dents wallpapering the gym with ban- ners in the traditional school colors. Members often found time limited as game nights grew near with many pos- ters still to be made. Many found that they lacked either points or money for seats on the pep buses. Ribbons were printed in school colors and were sold during the year to assure school spirit.

To avoid transportation problems, members decided to hold meetings on every other Tuesday at noon. Either pantomimes, speeches, oral interpre- tations, or debates were given at the meetings. In order to encourage par- ticipation, a new' point system was in- troduced. These points, awarded to members alter a presentation, were accumulated toward earning pins. The goal of Debating Society was to have its members give a three-min- ute speech before the year’s end. This w as to promote poise and to assist in District Oratorical Meet preparation.

It was the first social event of the year for the Club. The purpose of Drama Club is to stimulate an interest in dra- matics and give students a chance to learn acting and stagecraft. The only requirements for membership are a sincere interest in dramatics and payment of the fifty cent annual dues. After auditions, several novice ac- tors and actresses were selected for parts in the assembly presented on February 4. They soon found that acting was more than was expected. After making changes in scripts and plays the characters found they were ready to perform. The students had to memorize their lines and stage move- ments, backgrounds had to be set, and make-up applied. After two success- ful plays, theatrical faces were cast- away and ordinary students returned. DRAMATICS CLUB OFFICERS: M. Martin, secretary; B. Brooks, publicity chair- man; S. Easley, president; B.

We staple tomorrow!” This is a common expression heard by Wildcat staff members as stacks of papers be- gin to pile up, ready for distribution. Even when reporting, writing, typing, and printing are done, student jour- nalists still have jobs to do; if not for the current publication, for the next. The budding journalists must have deep interest in the press media and be willing to put in the needed hours. It is not uncommon to find newspaper enthusiasts working before and after school in an attempt to finish the final drafts. In order to send editors to an A.I.P.A. convention, staff members sold coffee at the home football games.

Anniversary Staff Experiences Confusion With Change of Book Style Confusion began as the staff found themselves teaching freshmen the fun- damentals of yearbook journalism and making necessary changes for a larger book they are to have this year. Amid it all, journalists took time to canvass the community selling ad- vertisements, helping with group pic- tures, and selling subscriptions. The photographers experienced problems as they covered, and participated in, a variety of activities as well as sports. As the year wore on, the staff was notified the '69 book had received the Medalist award. Also awarded was the seventh consecutive All-American rating; the '68 annual was honored as top book for Arizona Class A schools.

I e Cercle Francais formulated ear- ly plans for its scheduled activities. First on the calendar was initiation, where initiates gladly submitted them- selves to the members' tyranny. The ceremonial included pantomimes and balloon races, with refreshments also. Before the Christmas vacation, club members went carolling around town to extend their yuletide greetings. A newspaper was printed periodically to gain knowledge and understanding of France and its culture. Those who wished wrote to a pen pal for better comprehension of French family life. In the spring the club cooperating with their sister organization, Los Catos Rebeldes, planned a joint assembly.

Sorrell points out various people to newcomer, T. Shute, at Teacher Reception. Below, HALL DUTY WITHOUT TEACHER!! That's right. Student Council has taken over. Honor Teachers More School Spirit” was the theme of the 1969-70 MHS student council. Starting out the year was a reception welcoming new teachers. Held at the lemons’ home, the faculty newcomers met and talked with student leaders. Members also assumed morning hall duty, releasing teachers for classroom help. Another new activity this year was the construction of floats. Each class built an original float pertaining to More School Spirit”. These were judged on a highly competitive basis. Highlighting the holidays was the decorating of the lobby Christmas tree. The spirit of giving topped this off with the annual canned food drive. I ater in the year, the annual slave auction was held. Ending the success- ful year, was Career Night, where stu- dents found themselves listening to re- presentatives of various professions.

Practice again tonight?” The last few days before the annual Christmas concert, many good-humored com- plaints were voiced to the new vocal music teacher, Mrs. Goodner. Pos- ters and programs were made. Al- though rehearsals often were late and usually hectic, the program was beautifully done. The theme, Christ- mas Through the Ages,” set the stage for songs, from traditional carols to Christmas spirituals, accompanied by instruments from the piano to guitars. Several programs were presented to many community organizations and, with Christmas season over, the music groups began to concentrate on once again winning high ratings in the EAC Music Festival.

Board of Education Approves Final Blueprints for New Middle School After much research, construction on the middle school building fin- ally started. This school will house grades five through eight and w ill be located on the tailings, below the new town site. For more than a year, the Board of Education and Mr. David- son have spent much time plan- ning and approving the blueprints. Besides making plans for the new school, Mr. Davidson and the Board Mr. P. H. Davidson Superintendent ol Schools of Education have studied the vast educational horizon of all grades, kin- dergarten to adult. They are interest- ed in expanding the adult curriculum but the lack of classrooms and teach- ers limits this at the moment. Aside from the educational aspects of school, the board wants to increase the extra- curricular activities. Swimming has been added to the physical education classes and a new track is being built. NEW addition, a bookkeeping machine, is operated by Mrs. Gilliland. Right, STUDYING blueprints is Mr. Davidson. iding the Board ofEducation in its decisions is Mr. P. II. Davidson, Su- perintendent of Schools. He gives in- formation of the school’s needs and helps execute policy changes within the Morenci School District. He received his B.A. from Daniel Baker College and his M.A. from Sul Ross Stale. He is active in many community organi- zations, as the Rotary Club, Presby- terian Church, and the Red Cross. 72 Mr. Claude C. Tuell Member Mr. John Cuthbertson Clerk BACKSTAGE!! Mr. Lemons and Mr. Schultz converse after successful play. Mr. A. L. Alexander President Vice-Principal Welcomed by MHS Students Facing many problems during his fourth year as high school principal, Mr. Paul lemons handled all with as- surance. Much time was spent organ- izing classes and records, as well as helping faculty members and students solve problems. Another time con- suming task was arranging sports ac- tivities: scheduling games, meeting AIA demands, and acquiring referees. Besides his administrative duties, Mr. Lemons was co-sponsor of the Student Council and was an active participant in the Clifton-Morenci Rotary Club. He received his B.A. and M.A. de- grees from Arizona State University. Assuming the responsibilities of the Vice-principal, Mr. Archie Stevens was welcomed to the high school fac- ulty in mid January. He is a member of the Clifton-Morenci Rotary Club. He received his Bachelor of Arts de- gree from Grand Canyon College and has done graduate work attheUniver- sity of Arizona, Arizona State Univer- sity, and the University of Georgia. Mr. Archie L.

Phe definition of this, one whose occupation is to instruct,” is incomplete because each instructor is an individual. Some have taught be- fore; others began this year. Some enjoy sports while others the fine arts. Each has a different personality, but all have one thing in common. They are teachers. All put in many hours grading papers and making tests and art always willing to help a troubled student. This year, the high school building welcomed nine new teachers.

Mechanical Drawing; Art Department Chairman. Art plays an important role in our everyday lives, and students learned to appreciate this through experiment- ing with color and form in art classes. P.mphasis was not only put on the Flo- rentine period when artists like Mich- aelangelo and Raphael lived, but also on today’s art. Young artisans tried their hand sculpturing and painting. Some found that they had talent, while others struggled to complete projects. In Mechanical Drawing,curves and straight lines were combined to make useful blueprints. Future engineers were tested in their accuracy as pre- cision was essential. The course was basic and gave a fundamental background of form representations. 76 Homemakers Learn Child Care Basics, Present Spring Fashion Show To understand and appreciate basic principles of homemaking, home ec- onomics classes covered sewing, cook- ing and child development. Two stu- dents were honored with special posi- tions. DeAnne Baxter was a member of McCall’s Teen Board, and Jane Richardson, Co-ed correspondent. Delightful aromas drifted through halls of MHS as girls began the cook- ing segment. After learning the basics of good cooking and nutrition, the stu- dents prepared meals for faculty mem- bers. Home Ec. 11 girls prepared a tur- key buffet just before Thanksgiving. Child development proved to be in- teresting and informative, ( iris were given the chance to practice caring for and bathing a life-size baby model. Fabric grain, pattern guide, seam line, graded seam, selvage-these and other terms became every-day words to the girls as they discovered it was fashionable, economical, and easy to make their own clothes. Bolts of gay fabrics were turned into modern fash- ions and shown at the spring fashion show. It wasanenjoyableeveningcli- m axing the weary months of learning.

Miss Sharon Raper, the seniors, though they were four-year veterans of English, undertook a new project--a thorough study of Hamlet. After analyzing and comparing char- acters, concepts, and many conflicts that existed between roles, they were required to assemble unit projects; topics ranged from lectures on Eliza- bethan theaters to skits. One hilar- ious example w as 'The Story of J. R. Hamlet”, western versionoftheworld- famous play. Second semester stud- ies consisted of eighteenth and nine- teenth century poetry and literature. Juniors also welcomed a new facul- ty staff addition. Miss Terry Nichols. She too stressed literature and helped students develop an insight into Amer- ican w riting. Asa special assignment, students were required to give a dem- onstration speech; exhibitions were camera illustrations, guitar lessons, and even yoga and judo instructions. Along with grammar lessons, soph- omore's analyzed A Tale of Two Cit- ies . Literature studies also includ- ed book reports and, as a special as- signment, pupils touched on and dis- cussed contemporary w orld religions. Freshmen had a tape exchange with schools throughout the coun- try. As a result, classes were often converted to tape recording sessions. New this year is the Developmental Reading Course. Students learned the basics of rudimentary skills of read- ing. Speech was offered to students eager to learn public speaking skills. after hearing voice on a tape recording. GUNSMOKE? BONANZA?

WhetherFrench or Span- ish, students find that the course in- cludes not only word pronunciations and new sounds, but an inside view of the country and language studied. First year students found the color and flow of a foreign language noteas- ily gained. Learning new rules, dif- ferent from those of the English lang- uage, brought confusion to class- es. Many students spent morning ses- sions with teachers to avoid flounder- ing in a sea of verbs and adjectives. Students taking second year courses also had their problems. They dis- covered that the many verbs that they encountered in their first year gave way to crazy processes of conjuga- tions, many are inexistent in our lang- uage, making the task more difficult. Helping students better understand the basics of languages, various de- vices were used, one being tapes of native speakers. But classes were not all work and no fun, as students pre- pared skits for Language Assemblies.

Math is truly a universal science. By enrolling in a variety of courses, the students realized and studied this fact. Geometry students dev eloped ideas logically, instead of depending on de- scription, measurement, or observa- tion. A new overhead projector aided Applied Math, as well as oilier math courses, in helping students form sol- id foundations in mathematics. Alge- bra covered many fields; students em- ployed a king size slide rule to solve problems. As a special project, they computed Apollo moon flight calcula- tions for speed and fuel consumption. The Modern Introductory Analysis class, consisting of the more deter- mined math disciples, explored ad- vanced math theories, touching on circular functions and trigonometry. Science Classes Study Radiatiori, Facts of Microscopic Organisms PHYSICS STUDENTS, J. Tuell and B. Roybal, determine the buoyancy of water. Experiments with sulfur dioxide in chemistry brought many results, one being the odor of rotten eggs drifting down the halls. Students also experi- enced unexpected consequences when some butterfingered chemist dropped a test tube or somebody combined the wrong ingredients. While chemistry classes did and redid various exper- iments, Biology students studied the world of the liv ing. They spent a con- siderable amount of time dissecting frogs, cray fish, and other specimens. Physics classes were shocked when exposed to the more complex w orld of science, which included experiments in thermodynamics and nuclear rad- iation. While these courses dwelled in a specific field. General and Jun- ior High science studied all the facets of science, from magnets to insects. WALLS OF VACUUM TUBES FLUORESCE as D. Snodgrass and G.

New Equipment Aids in Development of Muscles Skill, stamina, and sportsmanship are the basics needed for winning in any sport. Students can attain these requirements by participating in team and individual sports and exercises. For the first time, boys and girls enrolled in Physical Education class- es enjoyed swimming in early fall and late spring. Students were taught the proper techniques and strokes. Ad- vanced classes were in relay races. Toning and developing neglect- ed muscles was the cause for many a painful experience. The boys accom- plished this task through participation in stimulating games and exercises. The new Universal Gym also helped to increase strength and endurance. The students took part in football, bas- ketball, soccer, softball, volleyball, and weightlifting. All boys took the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test, which included sit-ups, push-ups, pull- ups, squat thrusts, and 300 yard run. Girls’ Physical Education classes enjoyed action-filled games of bad- minton, volleyball, speedball, bas- ketball, hockey, and other competi- tive sports. To help students better understand fundamentals of sports, films were shown and records played, adding a new enthusiasm to classes. HARD TO KEEP a good man down? T. Alexander stops B.

Romero Shops Aim for Trade, Hobby The banging, clanging and screech- ing sounds caused by the industrially minded students soon became a com- monplace part of the school. Care- fully applied methods, devised by mas- ter craftsmen through the ages, were taught to students during the year. Pupils changed average bits of wood and metal into cautiously planned and and R. Reyna add varnish to bookcases. FLYING SPARKS were common as students learned to weld. WITH safety lenses, R. Aragon concentrates on drill, below. Working Skill assembled projects which were often hurriedly completed at the end of the six weeks. Beginning students learned the use of hand tools and power equip- ment. Safety was constantly stressed. Drafting was a new course offered this year. It taught the proper meth- ods of producing intricate plans for houses, mines, and other structures.

Drivers’ Education Stresses Safety, Care in Handling an Automobile A new teacher with fresh ideas be- gan the job of teaching young drivers the safe, proper way to handle a car. Before students drove, their depth perception, peripheral sight and glare recovery were tested. Finally the day everyone had been waitingfor arrived -the day they sat behind the wheel. Starts and stops were many times sud- den, but everyone survived with only a little wear and tear on nerves. Two points were subtracted from one hun- dred possible for each mistake. Some students lost points by exceeding the speed limit while others forgot to use turn signals. Soon drivers discovered that it had become easier to co-ordin- ate body movements, mixing muscle reactions and thought impulses. At the end of the course, an exam was given, consisting of both written and road tests and covering all the m a- terials that the students had studied. WHILE Mr. Senne checks water level, D.

Under the direction of a new teacher, Mrs. Janice Goodner, the vocal music groups, after much practice, staged their Christmas con- cert in mid December.

Scrap books were assembled later that month for retarded children at the Children’s Colony in Coolidge. In November they eagerly planned their float for the last home football game and raised funds for materials. Two weeks later, a triple layer cake with MHS letters represented their la- bor and class. The three consonants stood for More High School Spirit” and girls, dressed as cheerleaders or pom pons, pulled the float on the field. For many their second year of high school brought a variety of subjects. Some were found pecking at key- boards while others were exploring the many gadgets on dashboards. For others the most memorable moments were the dizzy spells, pale faces, and foul smells accompanying biology. EXPLAINING new handbooks are sponsors Mrs. N. Weisling, Mrs. J. Goodner.

Some students painted windows in an attempt to gain points in the competition for the Class of the Year plaque. Other students repre- sented their class and school in inter- scholastic sports.

Per- formance preparation took time. Delighted juniors proudly exhibited their dazzling class rings, upon their arrival, to the envious underclassmen. As the night of the prom grew closer and closer, everyone had something to do. Royalty was elected. The many intricate and colorful decorations had to be arranged. Parents had to be con- ned to give the Junior the car keys and an advance on his already overdrawn allowance.

Stage Struck Juniors Present “Girl Crazy” in March Because many male cast members were also members of the track team, the rehearsal schedule for the junior class play, Girl Crazy, was often confusing. Rehearsals were held not only in the auditorium, but also in the women s dormitory lounge-not only in the afternoons and evenings, but before school. One rehearsal became a party, with girls bringing pop- corn and the boys bringing sodas. Af- ter only one week s use, playbooks looked several years old. They were marked in, torn up, and coverless. The play revolved around a young playboy who heads west to fulfill the terms of his father's will. He be- comes involved with dangerous des- peradoes, an election campaign, and romance while attempting to create a dude ranch from a broken-dow n old ranch house. Young actors and ac- tresses presented Girl Crazy to the public on the evening of March 20. I'M ALL CHOKED UP. C. White ar- gues with his villainous executioners. JUNIOR PLAY CAST: FRONT ROW: J.

BEAMING DELEGATES CHOSEN TO ATTEND Girls' State Workshop compare traditional flag pin, anticipate summer trip. 114 Outstanding Junior Nominees Participate in State Workshop Sessions Last spring twelve unsuspecting jun- iors were invited to attend a luncheon in their honor. They were informed at this luncheon that they were eligible to attend summer workshops, Girls’ and Boys’ State, and Anytown. They met the qualifications of leadership, character, scholarship, and person- ality set by sponsors of this activity. Workshops for Staters were held in Tucson and Flagstaff. Here they stud- ied and talked over the procedures of U.S. government. State officials gave talks on various political procedures. Two parties, the Nationalist and the Federalist, were formed, launching full-fledged campaigns and elections into action. Dolores Perez was elect- ed Treasurer in Girls’ State elections. Prescott was the site of Anytown, where human problems were discus- sed. These discussions helped stu- dents better appreciate and know the confused ideas of todays’ world. THRILLED TO BE INVITED! D.

Several cast members were football players who had encountered Eloy the night before the public performance. As a result, Lester Wright was acting PACKED WITH pillows is Mike Maese.

The influence of outstanding sports teams . . prompted the class towinthe school window paintingcontest.. float competition, class yells at pep assem- blies along with other major activities. Though sometimes set back by a loss to underclassmen, the seniors leaped back to maintain a commanding lead. Undaunted by many mishaps the senior play cast produced a rollicking success. Plagued by football injuries several actors portrayed roles soine- what different than those w ritten in the script. Imagination and improvising on behalf of the cast produced an en- tertaining evening for the audience. These upperclassmen found them- selves entangled in college red tape as the) ran for application and scholar- ship forms. Seniors after a very in- active start placed their noses to the grindstone and studied for semester tests. After studying and working on many school functions, they com- pleted the year with the annual Senior Banquet; with the prom following. Then the Class of '70 began to look toward college, the armed forces, job hunting and enjoying life to the fullest.

MEMO FROM THE EDITOR: At the beginning of my term as editor, I believed that I knew enough to publish a good book. Now 1 sit back to reflect on this past year and am amazed at what more I had to learn. The last nine months have been an experience I'll treasure and remember always. It was a special challenge since our advisor was out for a month with flu. But, it has been rewarding. Now this is the end. To me it means no more working Saturdays and a great sense of achievement. My last office job as editor-in-chief is to express my appreciation to everyone who made the book a reality. First, Miss Marjorie Johnson, our advisor: Since the first edition, editors have been stumped for words to thank her. Her understanding during deadlines is a great asset. She taught us that there is always some way to solve a problem, and to use emphatic words to convey our ideas. But what other term is there for Thank you”? In addition, I discovered that the staff had 23 dependable journalists and i wish to congratulate them on a job well-done. I am deeply grateful for their understanding of a perfectionist editor. Although it may come as a shock, I do know phrases other than Have you finished your assignments?”. My sincere gratitude also goes to Mr. Frank Gabusi, who has taken group pictures and done rush photographic jobs for us for all 25 editions. I would also like to thank all faculty members who tolerated class interruptions when deadlines pushed us . . . Mr. Roy Faulkner, for keeping our financial records . . . Mr. William Siglin, for sacrificing Friday nights to supervise candy sales . . . Mrs. Pat Mendoza, for cleaning up the mess and piles of books we always left behind . .. Mr. Earl Kzzell, our company representative, for all special efforts he made on our behalf . . . and Anchor Press lor getting our book out on time, though we were late for our last deadline.
