STUDENT Council members decorate the halls and tree before Christmas party. Varsity Cagers ContinueSecond Undefeated Year A new sport was added and the wrestling team had their first match in the Fairbanks gym. Students and faculty began to anticipate the holidays, especially after the Christmas tree had been de- corated by the Student Council and organizations began caroling and having parties. Excited juniors displayed new class rings and senior photographs and keys began arriving. Student Council members at- tended their annual convention in Mesa and again received an award for achievement. As school ended for vacation the basketball squad, undefeated since 72, continued to roll through their schedule and won the Copper Cities Tournament. A new year began with the old semester to finish, exams to pass and then a new semester to begin. MORE THAN A TON and a half of food was collected in the annual food drive. 14

Basketball Team Wins Conference Honor and Spring Activities Begin February’s unpredictable sunshine was unable to dispel the gloom as seniors took their Lorgc-Thorndike tests. Slave day started out by selling almost eighty slaves to eager masters and friends. Coaches Carter and Willard bad a free-for-all with pics, while Mr. Reeves wore a muscle shirt and wig. 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. The end of the third nine- weeks brought a few smiles, but mostly groans as report cards were handed out. A relieved staff sent off the final yearbook pages to the publisher, and began to prepare for next year’s book. Spring sports began practice.
