Editor-in-Chie f Patty Marsh Advisor Marjorie Johnson 1974 Copper Cat Volume 29 Morenci High School Morenci, Arizona 85540 i LONGFELLOW school, center, and Morenci townsite as Mr. D. saw it in 1940's. TIMES change as is evident in the contrast of buildings. ABOVE is the old eight level high school built in 1919; below is the Fairbanks middle school built in 1971. On a hot summer day in 1948, the Davidson family, witli two small children, moved into Stargo from San Angelo, Texas, to perch in a small house, high on an upper Elm Street. Since then, life has been a scries of homes, and of schools for Phil Davidson, who is retiring this July as Superintendent of the Morenci Schools. That first fall, Phil Davidson began teaching junior high classes in the old high school building built in 1919. He served as principal of the first Longfellow School, erected in 1902 and recently torn down. Davidson was named principal, in 1954, of the, then almost new high school building, which also housed the junior high classes. Upon the retirement of Superintendent Jos. H. Fairbanks, in 1960, Phil Davidson was appointed to succeed him. During the following years, an addition was made to the Modoc School in East Plantsitc, and in 1970, the new Fairbanks Middle School was completed for a September opening. .. With Affection 2 Affectionately known as Mr. D., by his teachers and students, he was directly involved in securing the charter for the local Quill and Scroll Chapter in 1955, and actively backed all school act- ivities, including the publi- cations program. It has always been Phil Davidson’s belief that anything that is good for the school, is good for the community and that the reverse is true. He is an elder of the Presbyterian Church, a member of the Rotary Club, the Masonic Lodge, and active in the Ameri- can Red Cross. Few things have given him deeper satisfac- tion than the activity of faculty members in civic organizations. A professional educator, he has been a member of many educational groups, and was listed in Who’s Who in American Education. For most of his Morenci tenure, no school activity was complete without Phil Davidson’s presence, usually accompanied by his wife Edgar, a well loved teacher, who retired in 1971.

Mr. D. was always there giv- ing active support. For more than 25 years he has given his life to further the education of Morenci’s youth. We Dedicate This Book to Mr. D. .

Calendars instantly became crowded! Clubs held initiations and athletes struggled home from practice too tired for home- work. One Saturday for comic relief, the linemen challenged the backs and ends to a Crazy Hat Contest. In addition to meeting new teachers, making new friends, and taking new classes, a nine-week grading period replaced the traditional six. By the end of September, thrilled juniors had unanimously agreed on their rings and the seniors had faced the camera for their senior portraits. ALL THE WAY!!! Varsity dads play a casual game with J.

Student Council members were excited when they won an achievement award for the second year. A songfest brought by National Assemblies brightened the day for everyone as singers from London performed. Junior Royalty for the Junior- Senior Prom was chosen with much expectation from everyone. The Wildcats had their pride broken when Superior ruined their undefeated season, with a 66-64 victory, but they came back to beat Superior 82-71 which gave them the A-South title. Tension mounted during the first week of March as the Wildcats struggled for the state title in Tucson. Wrestling season ended its first year of activity with Alan Edwards placing third in state.

Most of them sold pro- grams and cokes at all the home football games and brought in a lot of change for their president Carla Walden to count. The All Girls’ Party was held for Hallo- ween. There were many unusual costumes and many good things to eat. “Natural High” was the theme for the formal dance held in late November. The gym was decorated in dark and light blue. In the spring, a bus loaded with luggage and packed with giggling girls who had the most service points, went on the annual trip to Phoenix to attend a special dinner and a current stage production.

Debates, impromptu speeches, and pantomimes were among the group activities. The topics that were chosen covered many recent and interesting subjects.

There was a good response to auctioning off lunches and selling cokes at every weekly meeting. The car wash was a great suc- cess with a good turnout of both workers and customers, which netted a nice profit for the club treasury, and their various projects.

Before the band went to the festival they performed to the public by giving a concert on April 23 in the high school auditorium.

The freshman band spent long hours working to be regular band members by marching and prac- ticing a number of the difficult pieces of the band’s repertoire.

Vocal musicians started off a - nother busy year by being divided into four sections by the new vo- cal music teacher, Miss Morgan. Many precious hours were spent trying to prepare for the annual Christmas Concert. Many choir practices were called off because numerous people were involved in various activities held in De- cember. Despite all of the inter- ruptions, the musicians went on with their performance, which was held on December 18. The theme, “Christmas Vespers” set the stage for songs from tradi- tional carols to Christmas spirit- uals. Participating in the concert were the Girls’ Glee Club, Con- cert Choir and the Girls’ Sex- tets. Special solos, ensembles, and trios participated in the annual music festival held at EAC. Two concerts were held in spring. 44 CONCERT CHOIR SEXTET MEMBERS: Sally Nabor, Becky Powers, Debi Hol- liday, Debbie Walk, Carol Mahan, Delynn Cates, Vi Farrington, accompanist.

Pep Club Members Work To Boost Wildcat Spirit At Games Beginning the year, the mem- bers of the Pep Club elected new officers to supervise the club in the new school year. The newly elected Supply Officers requisi- tioned for supplies, such as paper, paint, and paint brushes to help in the construction of the nu- merous banners, posters, and signs which were designed by Dennis Sorrell. Pep busses were taken to several of the out-of-town football and basketball games and to the State Athletic Tourna- ments. One of the major goals of the officers and members of the Pep Club for this year has been to increase the attendance, morale, and spirit of the spectators and students who attend the games.

Pep Squads Add Color Glamour, Precision Routines at Half-Time Shows Flashy smiles, animation, and colorful uniforms were the key- notes of the sport pepsters, who attended all the games. The varsity cheerleaders were responsible for planning pep assemblies in which all pepsters performed. Class competitions for cheering were often held. Hilarious skits were performed by both groups. The pom pons did one called “Bridget the Midget”. In one cheer- leader skit the Clifton cheerleaders were depicted getting ready for a game! The pom pons ac- companied the band to the state fair; where both performed. At the close of the year the cheer- leaders held a workshop for as- piring pepsters. The pom pons attended camp at Flagstaff last summer to learn new routines and while there, received awards for the excellence of their routines.

Varsity Gridders Won A-South Playoff, Faced Gilbert In State Final The Wildcat gridders began the season against a soon to become Class A team, Sahuarita. A good ground game led by Tony Lizar- raga enabled the Cats to start the season in the right style as they came out on top by a 42-12 score. On the road again, this time to Globe, the red and black contin- ued to roll with a 34-0 toppling over their bigger, AA opponent. A long held hex again prevailed as Safford handed the Cats their first regular season defeat, 7-6. Even though a tough defensive ef- fort only allowed the Bulldogs 12 yards in the last half, Morenci stalled three times within their 10 yard line as Tony Lizarraga picked up 129 yards that night. The annual Copper Ingot game brought Clifton to Morenci only to be defeated by the score 32-6. A 354 yard rushing perform- ance, allowing 140 defensively, against AAA Sabino brought Mor- enci a 4-1 pre-conference tally.

Ray was no match for the Wild- cats as they were tripped 54-0 before the Cats went on to Miami the next week. The local group handed the Vandals a 47-8 de- feat before a Homecoming crowd. The hard to beat bunch was now to host co-conference leader Superior. Again it was easy going and a 34-0 Morenci contest romp. A 25-12 stumble to Marana set up a 3-way conference playoff to be held in Miami. The toss of a coin decided that Morenci would play the winner of the Superior, Marana game, for the conference championship and right to state. In the state semi-finals a tough first half saw the Wildcats battle to take a 7-0 lead to the lockers. Bourgade kicked off to returnman Tony Lizarraga who raced the length of the field making it a 15-7 game. That was all that was needed as the Cats relied on their defense to coast by the re- mainder of the gridiron contest. Victoryminded Wildcats Charge Into Play-Offs with 4-1 Conference Record Gilbert, the A Central winner was Morenci’s foe in the State Championship game.

The Cats held a 0-0 game until the Bulldogs broke lose in the third quarter to win it, 18-0. With their first home game the Cats rose to beat Willcox, 28-14. Defense was the problem as the Wildcats lost to Sabino, 12-28. Then came undefeated Miami and Lordsburg. In the game with Miami the Wildcats managed to pull through with a 6-6 tie, but Lordsburg was unable to stop the powerful offensive drives. The Lordsburg team met a 32-16 loss.

In Safford the following week end five players hit double figures, led by Tommy Navarrete’s 21 points. An 83-54 victory set the pace for the annual invasion of Clifton on the following evening. The Trojans were no match for the Wildcat’s full court press as they were out-distanced 60-47 at the buzzer. Ramey Peru took the honors by scoring 19 points. Win number four came easily as the Globe Tigers visited Wildcat Country. Ramey Peru swished the nets for 22 while Robert Merino scored 18. The final total was Morenci 89 and Globe 66. Ray Marin took the honors when the Safford Bulldogs attempted to avenge a defeat from a week before. His 19 points, added to other Wildcat scorers, sent Safford home with a taste of defeat. The Copper Cities Tournament followed. Held in Globe, eight teams participated. The Wildcats handed defeats to Mingus, Holbrook, and Superior to give Morenci the Copper Cities Title. In a home game against Willcox, a school record was set for points made in a single game. A 44 point final quarter and a 27 point performance by Tommy Navarrete saw the tough Cats burn the Cowboys by a 116-58 victory. The local cagers continued to sizzle, taking three straight road trips, Ray, Clifton, and Miami. A capacity crowd filled the gym GOING FOR TWO, Ramey Peru shoots.

All Morenci’s starters tallied in double-figures as Tom Navarrete swished 22 points and the Cats won 78-67 in a fast game. Winning was again the word as the Cats beat Marana 96-67. A long trip into New Mexico paid off as local squad confronted the top- ranked AAA Deming. From the start it was Morenci’s game, as the Cats pulled to a 24-17 first quarter lead and finished 89-77. The Willcox Cowboys were a- gain dismounted by the local five, 91-48, and a 6-0 conference total. With the second string mostly responsible, and Steve Perry net- ing 12 points, Ray found its ef- forts in vain; a 85-65 local win. The first snag in an otherwise perfect season, came on the Su- perior home deck. A standing room only, crowd, saw Morenci losing 84-86, in an overtime bout that required another game with Superior to determine the local position in the state tournament. This game was won 82-71 in spite of a fourth quarter Superior push. The state tournament, held in Tucson, held a heartbreak for the Cats, when a last second shot by the Tigers sent the game into another overtime. This three minute period meant disaster for the cold-shooting local Cats and they lost this game 65-59. Receiving both All-State and All-Conference honors were Tom Navarrete and Ramey Peru. Troy Hudson made second team All- Conference while Robert Merino was awarded Honorable Mention. Top local honors were awarded Tom Navarrete and Ramey Peru.

The Junior Varsity started the season with a win over Sahuarita but their hope of another unde- feated season was soon shattered as the Safford Bulldogs out hus- tled the local team. This game proved to be a rewarding exper- ience as the Wildcats were behind only by three points at the end of the half. Cold shooting and mistakes plagued the team in the second half as Safford ran a- way with a 62-51 victory. Soon after this deficit the Cats contin- ued their winning ways. Their streak however was soon broken again as the team avenged their second defeat at the hands of AAA Dcming, N.M. The Cats how- ever won the second set, 59-44. Receiving the Most Valuable J. V.

However the revenging team soundly trounced the Roughriders 108-38. When their center moved to J.V. ranks the Frosh could not get anything going against the Cowboys. The encounter with Willcox was much like the Pima loss as they outlasted the Cats, 53-51. Next came the Wildcats from Deming, N.M.

The Varsity diamondmcn opened their season taking a dou- ble victory from the first time opponent Silver City. The Wild- cats had a winning streak of five before being handed their first defeat in a close battle with Saf- ford. The local nine then waltzed by Marana, 15-0. Miami, in an eight inning game beat the tough Cats 7-6. The fine pitch- ing of Darrell Elkins overcame Silver City in a return contest. After losing a home encounter to Ray, the Wildcats decided a team meeting was needed. The defeat of Willcox and a 21-1 mas- sacre of Marana behind the pitch- ing of Tony Lizarraga were the first signs of the new attitude.

Junior Varsity Smash Duncan 20-0 to End Successful 6-5 Season The Junior Varsity Team began the spirited season with two dis- heartening losses to Safford and Duncan but came back to win over Miami, Ray, and Willcox, upping their record, 3-2. Their three-game winning streak soon ended as the next three games fell into the hands of rivals Clifton and Safford. The Wildkittens did not give up, how- ever and had ended the season by winning the last three games. The highlight was a 20-0 massacre of Duncan after being beaten 6-14 ear- lier in the season. This enabled the team to wind up with a very successful baseball season record. The coaches selected Gilbert Tapia as the Most Valuable Junior Varsity Flayer because of his contributions to team morale and play. Gilbert helped with many victories during the 1973 season. The Junior Varsity has been coached by Clifford Martin ever since the first team was fielded three sports years ago, in 1971. HOME RUN!

Serving tech- niques and return volley funda- mentals were stressed repeated- ly. Interested freshmen and rook- ie upperclassmen gained exper- ience on the intramural teams. The boys’ team lost the first two matches but won their third with Ray, and won only one addi- tion match, played with Miami. Wearing new uniforms 3 rac- keteers from each squad played in the State tournament held in Phoenix. The boys won 2 points. Isaacs and Bond lost in their second match, George Aguilera won a singles match from Miami. The girls’ varsity opened the regular season with a close loss to Duncan but came back in the next match to hand Clifton a 7-4 defeat. Consistency became a part of the girls’ game as the team handed dual defeats to Will- cox and also to class B Clifton. The girls’ squad picked up points in the tournament which came from the Williams-Martinez doubles team. After losing their first match, they won in straight sets the consolation match and placed 4th for overall tennis teams. The singles player for the squad was Della Gomez who was picked to be on the Girls’ State Team. 00H Alvin Hamilton gets another excellent return that goes over the net.

John Washington inscribes messages during distribution of annuals. Of primary concern to faculty members, this year was the up- dating of curriculum and teaching methods. English and Art De- partments offered a variety of one semester classes to seniors and planned additional changes for next year. The traditional six week grading period was changed to nine weeks. Usage of teaching aids increased in all departments. Interested students became aids to teachers and earned non-solid credit by providing secretarial assistance and paper grading. Faculty members sponsored school activities, clubs and ex- tracurricular activities. Besides school activities teachers aided in community organizations.

Included in these were: Introduction to Cer- amics; Interior Design; Survey of World Art; Beginning Crafts; Graphics: Acrylics; and Ceramics. The new Interior Design class gave students an opportunity for room decoration, including color and the use of fabrics in design. The painting classes began by studying colors, and mixing them to create various shades needed. Learning the history of the art of ancient man up to the present was an objective of the Survey of World Art class. New textbooks were also added to the variety of literature which were needed for a class with so many aspects. Entries were also made for the art exhibit in Phoenix in March. Some of the best creations were held for display at the Greenlee County Fair as in previous years. STUDENTS SHOW THEIR TALENT by their creativity in their paintings in Art.

With Tom Bracuer leading the pack, the band entertained the crowds by presenting new tunes and various formations at every home contest this season. The Vocal Music Department was kept busy as the young vo- calists combined their talents to rehearse for several concerts. Under the direction of Miss Bar- bara Morgan, a new teacher, the vocal musicians provided enjoy- able listening for the Morenci in- habitants at the several concerts. Pep Band members consisting mostly of upperclassmen, enter- tained the crowds with many pop- ular tunes and new instruments throughout the basketball season. Sophomores were included for the first time this year in the pep band’s slim brass section. SCORPIO is played by Greg Simons on the timtoms as the band backs him up. 79 Business Education Classes Purchase Stock; Acquire Office Machines Skills ONE SHARE OF STOCK was purchas- ed by each Consumer Economics class. The first few clays in Typing I were very confusing. Through all the confusion students found that typing could be fun. Accur- acy and speed were emphasized as students increased their skills behind the typewriter. Soon they learned to do business letters, various tables and manuscripts. For those in Typing II learning how to use an electric machine wasn’t so easy. When all were taught the techniques of the el- ectric machine, timed writings were given. Students then spent some time reviewing what was learned in Typing I. Soon they were on their own learning much about the business world. Second semester, students worked with electronic calculators, card punch keyboards, and other machines. A spring field trip to the Gen- eral Office was planned so stu- dents could observe the computer. In Bookkeeping, students learn- ed how to fill out business jour- nals, balance papers and trial balances correctly. The class then learned how to post the in- formation correctly in a ledger. Shorthand pupils were taught the alphabet at the beginning of the year. Many improved their skill by practice and accuracy. Students took dictation very well. SHORTHAND students transcribe letters from their books.

FEUD ON THE GILA was the title of the first movie written and filmed by students, in the new Creative Writing class, English Classes Reflect New Course of Study; Writing Class Films in reading, writing, listening and thinking. While participating in each area of interest, the stu- dent can grow in basic skills. Each new course branches in directions determined by class members. In the Creative Writing class, a melodramatic western titled “Feud on the Gila” was written, directed, and filmed by the students. Tarot cards, Ouija boards, and Witchcraft were part of everyday learning for Teenage Crisis: Imagination. “Why Am I Afraid To Tell You Who I Am?” was the name of a book read in Communications and Media class. Juniors were able to develop their minds through reading. Julius Caesar to Superman, they learned that literature constantly built and extended understanding. 82 English took on a new dimen- sion and meaning for seniors as an experimental program was put into effect this year.

Eight one- semester courses were formed. Each course includes experiences which was elected by some seniors. Western Movie As a writing experience, juniors wrote thoughts for three minutes. When the year began, sopho- mores were plunged into activity. Essays and compositions were written on many topics. During a unit on short stories, each student wrote a short story of their own. Skits and situations were dra- matized, so that each partici- pant could feel more at ease in front of a large group of people. Freshmen concentrated on the basics of English as they studied verbs and nouns. Literature pro- vided them with everyday exper- iences as suspense, drama and poetry were read and discussed. Spelling, literature and voca- bulary were a part of all classes. Book reports were due at the end of all nine weeks grading periods.

Films Newscast Spanish and French I students were astonished at the new world of words that surrounded them as they entered their classes. Af- ter two or three weeks of hard practice, they got accustomed to what they expressed as “strange” sounds. In addition to learning nouns all year, they also learned to conjugate verbs and use them correctly in their written work. The more advanced classes also had their difficulties but they were more familiar with the verb tenses and sentence structures. They continued to widen their vo- cabulary of these foreign lan- guages and their pronunciations. This year French III was of- fered for the first time. Students taking this class broke book work routine by making commercials and one-act plays. French clas- sics were also read and studied. PREPARING to tape, Mr. Washington NEED SOME MORE CHILI? A.

Social Science Students Examine Today s Controversies; Form Opinions Social science classes include history and American affairs. In World History classes students studied past civilizations, their strong and weak points, and con- tributions to humanity. Human conflicts, culture and man’s con- stant effort for self-preservation proved interesting to students as they learned of their ancestors. Films, maps, reports, and essays played a large role in helping understand the history of man. In Geography students studied foreign countries and the Ameri- can prominence in world affairs. Explaining economic growth, cul- tural history, geographical ties, and languages helped students re- late to the everchanging world. U.S. History students studied the events which complicate to- day’s world. Revolutions, pol- itical debates, conflicts, and in- formative discussion contributed to their understanding. Video- tapes and other texts were used for variety. News from maga- zines, newspapers, and television helped students gain a know- ledge of today’s current events. In American problems classes, students studied the Constitution and applied its contents to today’s problems. Magazines, newspapers, and discussions provided in- formation into current affairs. The Free Enterprise System provided some knowledge on the work- ings of the American economy. EXAMINING Civil War strategy are D. Diaz and G. Aguilera, above.

Home Economics Classes Learn Homemaking Skills; Serve Faculty Dinner Scissors, pins and patterns could be seen scattered around Room 35 as Home Economics classes learned the art of sewing. Many different varieties of fashionable clothes were pro- duced during the first semester. Cooking balanced and nutrit- ious family meals was learned and the aroma of delicious food could be sensed lingering through the halls. How to serve meals and proper etiquette was taught. Two holiday dinners were pre- pared and served to the faculty. Later in the year, child devel- opment was studied and the girls learned the characteristics and stages of the growth of a child. This year, a special Home Economics class for seniors only was included in the curriculum. OATMEAL COLD CREAM facial applications were tried by Home Ec. students. 87 GLORIA CRAMER--B.S., Kearny State Coi, Alg. 1,11, App. Math; spn. of Pep Club, Jr. class.

Mathematics Department Attempts to Connect Problems to Everyday Life How much carpeting would be needed to carpet the high school halls? Algebra 1 students know the answer. They also learned to balance the teetor totter with equal weights and measured the football field for a carpet of art- ificial turf, while Algebra II stu- dents used the slide rule, and discussed how numbers rule the lives of men. In Geometry logical thinking was stressed and classes worked on postulates and theo- rems. General Math classes re- viewed multiplication and divi- sion, while Applied Math pupils experimented with number sys- tems. Seniors in Advanced Math studied the fundamentals of Trig- onometry and beginning Calculus. Student Drivers Gain Driving Experience; Study Highway Survival To gain skill in driving was the main idea stressed in the Driver’s Education classes. How to react to emergency situations, survival in a freeway jungle and how to get better mileage from your auto- mobile were discussed. Auto re- pairs and a better understanding of how a car operates were also studied. Students used a reaction machine to test the speed of their reactions to different situations. They also tested the accuracy of their vision. Films were shown of highway accidents caused from high speed and the effects of alco- hol and drugs on the driver were also seen. Most important, act- ual driving gave students experi- ence and knowledge of the road. STUDENT DRIVERS WATCH AS Mr. Carter shows the different parts of the engine, above.

MAKING PRECISE MEASUREMENTS are important to students in Chemistry II. Science Classes Experiment to Gain Knowledge of Life Around Us WHAT IS YOUR BLOOD TYPE? .... Students in Biology check their Rh factors. Beginning with the simple life forms and their relationship to environments, Biology students progressed through the course. After learning all the bones in the body, as well as much of the hu- man anatomy, dissecting was a- head. To help with the structure of the muscles, frogs were used to help visualize the topic. Other dissections were perch and pigs. First year Chemistry students, along with the history and origin of the elements, studied many of the men responsible for concepts of the science. Balancing equa- tions was one of the more dif- ficult phases they encountered. Each week they could be found experimenting in the laboratory. These experiments were conduct- ed to show the reactions of sub- stances being studied. The specific effects of Chemistry on life around us were also discussed. Several activities were planned for the year. Among these were trips to the P. D. Research De- partment and Southwest Gas Co. A guest speaker on atomic energy also paid a visit to the classes. 90 DEMONSTRATING MAN MADE LIGHTNING and its uses, J. Conlogue and B. Conger, with the Van de Graff machine.

The first invasion of Wood and Auto Shops by girls gave a new look to shops this year. The Au- to Shop course was designed to help girls make minor repairs and give tune ups to the cars they drive. An Advanced Auto Shop course was offered for the first time. Students separated into their small groups and discussed different automobile repair work. Beginning and Advanced Wood Shop and Drafting 1 and II were offered and girls also joined these classes. New equipment was es- pecially useful to advanced wood- working students. Woodshop II projects included cabinets, tables and shelves. The hand and tables saws, planer and finishing machines were used by students. Students in Metal Shop I pro- duced projects using the drill press, lathes and learned weld- ing. Many advanced projects were undertaken in Metal Shop II classes including trash cans.

Physical Education Classes Stress Fun and Physical Fitness Fun with the emphasis on fit- ness was the aim of this year’s physical education classes. Boys and girls enjoyed swimming in early fall and late spring. Students were taught the proper techniques and strokes. Advanced classes were in relay racing. The weather cooled off a little and that meant going inside. Boys added weight- lifting and tumbling to their vigorous schedule, while the girls delighted in volleyball, badmin- ton, speedball, and other competi- tive sports. While the boys took the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test, which included sit-ups, push ups, pull-ups, squat thrusts and the 300 yard runs; the girls had physical education tests that re- quired many hours of hard work. The main topics studied in the Health classes were diseases and their symptoms, drugs and food value. Many individual and group reports were required. Studying food and nutrition, the students took the lunchroom menu and fig- ured calories and vitamin content. Other topics which were discussed in Health classes were causes of pollution, better ways to conduct ourselves for good public rela- tions, and learning to keep them- selves physically and mentally alert.

When school started, the building was shining from top to bottom from many hours of scrubbing, dusting, and waxing put in by the janitors. This year, the custodial staff follows a new work schedule. The first shift begins their work at 7:00 A.M. and works until 2:00 P.M. when the other half of the custodians take over and work till 9:00 P.M. The lunchroom staff were constantly busy preparing hot and nutritious lunches and serving them to students and faculty. Due to the rising costs of food, the prices of the hot lun- ches were increased during the latter part of the first semester.

Juniors placed first in a three way tie when Sloppy Day rolled around. A long anticipated day took place in September where the jun- iors selected and ordered class rings. The style was chosen unanimously. During the homecoming game, second place was given to the jun- ior float. The theme was “The Big M Machine Cleans up Panthers.” Preparation for the annual jun- ior play meant students began au- ditioning and practicing late in the year. Then the printing and sale of tickets soon followed. All of which preceded the performance.

Wiltbank. “One million dollars in thou- sand dollar bills would make a stack five inches high, while one billion dollars in thousand dollar bills would make a stack four- hundred feet high,” according to J. M. Langton, who spoke about patriotism to the Quill and Scroll Society on May 7, 1973. Enter- tainment was provided by Becky Powers who sang folk songs before and after the initiation cere- mony. A mis-quotc shattered the solemn decorum of the ceremony as the initiation members erupted into laughter midway through.

STUDENTS enjoyed seeing the Clifton Centennial with Ronnaug. 116 Wins the Hearts American Field Service began in 1914 when a group of volunteers formed an ambulance service to aide wound- ed soldiers in France. During World War II the Amer- ican Field Service, saddened by the cruelty of war, instituted a program to further world peace. Today AFS has achieved a world-wide base for human understanding giving young people the chance to study and adapt to a new Cultural experience in a foreign country. This is why we were able to receive Ronnaug Fergustad into our school and community for a year. “Ronni” as she likes for every- one to call her, is from a country village in the middle of southern Norway called Vagamo. This part of Scandinavia is green forested and in the winter it turns completely white. Ronni has LENDING A HAND with the float. of the Students and Local People an older and a younger brother, and her whole family loves to ski. Musical, friendly and warm are the words that help describe her. She plays the alto clarinet in the MHS band and grew to love marching at the football games. She also helped the seniors with their winning float. With Ronni’s help an American Field Ser- vice Club which has had a very active first year, was started. She was also active in Student Council and Spanish Club. Taking Spanish 1 was a special thrill for her be- cause she loves to mix with people of all ages and nationalities. In March, Ronni went on a one month adventure to San Francisco for a short-term ex- change. At the same time, MHS welcomed a blond- haired California girl to study and intermingle with stud- ents here. This was the first trial of a short-term and interstate exchange and it proved most successful. The John Bolles, with their daughter Barbara, had an action packed year with Ronni in their home. They learned through the American Field Service that smiles, sports, tears and friendship are both nation-wide and universal. Ronnaug Fergestad Ronnaug hopes the seniors place first. AT Senior band night Ronni pins mum on Mr. Bolles. 117 Deanna Buffo Barbara Bolles National Honor Society National Honor Society Marla Kaye Lunt Ramey Peru National Honor Society National Honor Society Henry W.

By looking back at their past they knew the time had come to decide about jobs, college, marriage or other dreams. College applica- tions were sent in by those who wish to continue their education. The seniors that stayed at the top of their class were recognized by awards and honors. Several de- serving students received schol- arships. Valedictorian and Sal- utatorian were the highest hon- ors, which were awarded to the two students with the highest four year grade average. Lawrence Rodriguez was awarded the four year scholarship to Northern Ar- izona University by the Phelps Dodge Corporation. The class of ’74 said its good-by’s to MHS when graduation finally arrived.

Four Year Veterans Order Announcements; Pictures; Caps and Gowns Four years have passed since the Class of “74” entered MHS. Slightly shocked, the four year veterans looked into their mirrors and viewed their fast-ending high school career in retrospect. As frosh a new era was opened to them beginning with buckets of whitewash. As we altered into sophomores, girls noticed the change and became more concerned of their own appear- ance. Boys found that they had gained both experience and height. Sports became an obsession for some. Being juniors meant a renewed sense of togetherness and individuality. The ordering of rings, putting on the play and go- ing to the prom gave the upper- classmen spirit. Summer passed and the final year came. Senior pride showed through when our float won first place at home- coming. Announcements, jewelry, caps and gowns mingled with scholarship applications and col- lege forms............Then the long awaited date, graduation, and unexpectedly they were sorry.

Its principle purpose is to support the athletic department and boost spirit. The members do this by sponsoring bonfires and banquets for the teams. Games were held between J.V. and Varsity fathers and against the Clifton Boosters. This year, the members raised money by selling “3 in 73” decals, windbreakers, and having raffles. The money earned is used to buy awards for the teams. It is also used to purchase needed equip- ment for viewing game and prac- tice films. Each year three ban- quets are held, one in fall, winter and spring, to recognize the outstanding teams and members. Page Sponsored By PHELPS DODGE MOST IMPROVED basketball player awarded to T.

I wish to thank those people now. First 1 wish to thank my won- derful parents, because without their time and patience with me, on my after school hours, this book would not have been done. Then there is my advisor, Miss Johnson, without her supervision, knowledge, giving up her Saturdays off, and patience a- round deadlines, this book would have never made it to the pub- lisher. I’d like to thank each one of my 26 staff members for a job well done! I would like to assure them I do know more words than “please finish your pages,” “it doesn’t fit,” or “we’re working Saturday.” And a special thanks to Mark, my photographer, if it weren’t for his work in the photo lab, lots of these pictures wouldn’t have been printed, thanks for the special effects; and to the other photographers.......Mr. Roy Faulkner for keeping our Financial records, and for helping me with the candy sales....all my teachers for tolerating me and my staff around deadlines; and to Anchor Press for getting the yearbooks here on time. I hope you like your yearbook.
