of Victory; the Agony of Defeat I wenty-five years ago this May, the first Copper Cat began recording the story of our school: the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. 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
