Co-Editors-In-Chief Ernest Calderon Craig Sircy 1975 Advisor Marjorie Johnson Copper Cat Volume 30 Morenci High School Morenci, Arizona 85540 The Secret of Success is Constancy to Purpose As one goes through life he faces many obstacles that must be overcome to succeed. Everyone needs success. Success in the classroom, in the community, and on the athletic field are different in nature but they all have one thing in common. In order to succeed one must face challenges, often alone. To some this seems an irksome task,. . . to others challenges are a daily occurence and easily over- come. Without CHALLENGES life would be dull and without the excitement of reaching one's goals. Morenci people have faced many challenges in the century since our town was founded. Nor are challenges new to high school students. Overcoming these challenges is the Wildcat Tradition. 2 gm New Year Begins With Hurried Pace; Gridiron Disappointment ALL CAGED UP?.............No, Elaine Rodela ties down the many flowers the Class of 1975 used in preparing their float for the upcoming Homecoming game. This early start proved invaluable. • I A LETTERMAN takes a rest after painting. INSPIRATION to win. the flaming “M 4 The 1974-1975 school year began with the usual hustle and bustle of clubs organizing and in- itiating, people lining up for late buses, and inevit- ably freshmen were trampled in the halls by upperclassmen. The freshman class was welcomed with a water- melon bust after the traditional whitewashing of the “M”. Volleyball and football players trudged home physically and mentally exhausted only to find mounds of home- work waiting to be done. As the days sped by, students looked forward to skipping an English class to take group and individual pictures. Many seniors had a diffi- cult time preparing for senior portraits after a disappointing loss to their “down the hill” rivals. As the days of September came to a close, seniors began facing the reality of their high school days coming to a close. NEW PRINCIPAL.

October found seniors faced with choices, as colleges and universities from around the state paid M.H.S. a visit and an opportunity was provided for band members to perform at the state fair. Basketball players found themselves “hot and “courting; later students “exploded as bomb scares kept them after school. Pep assemblies and bon fires helped boost moral as the Wildcat gridders remained undefeated at home. Girls’ League held their annual Halloween costume party and everyone found relief in a day of rest due to a statewide teachers' meeting.

November Brings Thanksgiving, Parade, and Homecoming Game - CROWNED as king by Girls’ League president Patsy Garcia during formal is Sammy Rodriquez. Homecoming gave Morenci fans more than just floats as the Wildcats upended Miami. November victories however, did not appease the Cats as they saw any playoff hopes obscured by a single point, a 6-7 lose to Safford. Veterans Day offered a day of recuperation. Some of the class floats were again displayed and the Wildcat marching band was on hand for the first Veterans Day parade. Student Council made major progress on the student lounge which was okayed after seven years of working toward that goal. 8 WILLING BOOST from R.Rodela helps D.Likins and M.Provincio paint student lounge while E.Calderon and Mrs. Vandervort discuss progress. 9 COULD IT BE KISSING COUSINS?.

As the holidays were ending a blanket of snow covered the town on New Year's morning. The next day the basketball team and boosters were off to Dcming, New Mexico to back the Cats in their first entry in an out-of-state tournament. On Saturday they lost in the finals to Deming. As school resumed the new- student lounge was opened; and politically minded students marked the inauguration of Arizona's first Mexican- American governor. Ladders were again frequent hall baricades as janitors coped with the obsolete heating system. Art students gleefully hauled boxes to the Humbolt Building where they would have class rooms and gallery space.

Frequent mistakes were made as beginning typing students learn- ed the keyboard and techniques. All taking advance typing used electric machines. Second sem- ester replaced this with an Of- fice Machine class. Training was included with ten key adding list- ings, electronic calculator and in voice transcription. Data proces- sing and the simulated card punch were included in this semester. The bookkeeping classes were puzzled when faced by journals and business papers, but even- tually they learned to make their necessary end of month reports. General Business studied bud- geting money, insurance, bank- ing and other money problems. The Business Economic classes bought a share of Phelps Dodge Corporation stock and of Nabisco. Shorthand students discovered their characters to be similar to the written alphabet. Later dic- tation was taken and immediately transcribed at the typewriter. TYPING STEADILY.

English students had the chance to express their feelings in debates and classroom discus- sions. Speaking techniques were also improved in the classrooms. The ability to write creatively was developed by the sophomores while writing book reports, stor- ies, and essays. The first half of the school year was spent learn- ing grammar and parts of speech and sentence structures. Later while studying literature, stories and their authors were discussed. A novel entitled Huckleberry Finn was enjoyed by the sophomores. One of the English III teachers, Mrs. Catherine Legge. emphasiz- ed literature. Reading compre- 76 DISCUSSING RESEARCH PAPERS IN ENGLISH class include Diane Florez, Linda Pool, Bill Enrico, Danny Dia , Karl Towle, and Pam Crow. Language in Speech and Writing hension improved as the students read short stories. Chapters on Puritan and Revolutionary Litera- ture were discussed in the class. As the Senior English classes studied short stories, they were concerned with the theme, style, climax, plot, tone, and setting. The proper techniques for writ- ing were reviewed. To practice these techniques, research pa- pers were written by the seniors. All English classes were con- cerned with literature, vocabu- lary, and spelling as part of their studies. Each individual was re- quired to hand in a book report three times each semester. In- dependent studies were undertaken by College Preparatory students.

During the first part of the year, language teachers stres- sed the correct pronunciation and spelling of vocabulary words. The study of customs and famous liter- ary works were included as impor- tant cultural background material. As the holiday season approach- ed, foreign language students pre- pared for Thanksgiving and Christ- mas festivities by learning appro- priate words such as “cranberry and “mistletoe, and proved their love of Mexican cooking by enjoy- ing the various delicious dishes such as enchiladas, burros, and tacos at the holiday get-togethers. As a change in routine, the Span- ish classes prepared dialogues to perform “just for the fun of it. The French III class eagerly ac- cepted the chance to film a news- cast before the videotape machine and also expanded their interests by corresponding with pen pals of many countries around the world. An added bonus to a foreign lan- guage student was the opportunity to get involved in the activities of either the French or Spanish Club. 78 RALPH LARA B.A. Univ. of Arizona, M ED.

Social Science Classes Learn World and National News; Express Ideas Social science classes studied historical and world affairs. Cul- tural Studies, a new class proved successful. How the ancient peo- ple and their governments helped form the basics of today’s world was the whole key in Cultural Stu- dies. The students also learned about fossils and the remains of ancient civilizations. Other so- cial science classes included U. S. History, World History, Geo- graphy, and American Problems. Early in the year students in A- merican Problems classes studied the U.S. Constitution and its a- mendments. Learning the values of each amendment gave the stu- dents a different look towards the country's concern for its people. In November the students voted for their best candidates on sam- ple ballots and afterwards com- pared their results with the polls of the county, state, and nation. U.S. History classes also stu- died past events, including the Ci- vil War, World Wars I and II. A farming game was played to show the difficulties farmers had dur- ing the I880's, 1920's, and I930’s. The students enjoyed watching educational video-tapes. One was “They've Killed the President in which the assassination of Lin- coln was dramatized. Daily dis- cussions gave the students an op- portunity to express opinions on current topics. NEWSWEEK maga- zines acquainted the students with many world and national events. Students in World History clas- es studied the diversified cultures of the Middle Ages, the Egyptian civilizations, and the past and the present world events. The pupils also examined the effects of most of the civilizations and their em- pires to the present day. Discus- sions on wars, cultures, and dai- ly affairs were held. End of the year reports were made by pupils.

In Geometry, for the first time students attempted ser- ious reasoning in proving postu- lates and theorems. As a proj- ect the classes made drawings of many geometric figures. Gen- eral Math pupils reviewed multi- plication and division problems and learned practical applications. EXPERIMENTATION was done to find the geometric figure volume by Algebra students. 83 ELLEN Z.

Biology students worked out genetic problems and studied cell structure. They dis- covered their own Rh factors and blood types. Later in the year, students dissected pigs and frogs. Chemistry students started by learning the periodic charts and element symbols. Experiments, dealing in gases and heat, were performed in groups. Precision and accuracy were stressed dur- ing the experiments. Physical laws were studied in Physics and students investigated everyday is- sues: How do airplanes fly? Why does a ball curve? An attempt to build a cloud chamber, however, was unsuccessful. Earth Science students studied gravitiation, so- lar system, and ecology. While studying radioactivity, uranium and a geiger counter were used. MEASURING THE TEMPERATURE, D.

Shops offered to students this year were metal, auto and wood shops. In each there were class- es for the beginner and for stu- dents with a bit more experience. Girls also found a nitch in the programs, as many took classes in woodshop and auto-machanics. Instructors of courses stress- ed the importance of safety. Be- sides working with lathes, plan- ers and large machines, students were shown how to operate hand- tools for small projects where working space would be limited. Projects made in Wood Shops classes ranged from bowl to ce- dar cabinets, and in Metal Shop from funnels to tables. In Auto- Mechanics, students were given time in class to work on their own cars. These novice mechanics could be found fixing tires, grind- ing valves and giving their cars complete over-hauls and tune-ups. Drafting Class, also included in the shop department helped stu- dents develop techniques in draw- ing blue prints and pland of build- ings, Multi-view and isometeric drawings were used to help stu- dents gain techniques in drafting. 86 NOVICE AUTO-MECHANICS PRACTICE SKILLS; Elmo Romero and Frankie Martinez learn through experience the right way to work on cars.

Inexperienced Floatmakers Place Last in Class Competition The freshmen began their year with the whitewashing of the “M.” Instead of their traditional dance, they trooped to Wildcat Field and then enjoyed a watermelon feed. The inexperienced float makers made plans for their entry. The days sped by: the date for home- coming came nearer, they busily made many paper flowers for the float. The theme was “Bury the vandals.” Carol Rodela and Ar- nold Tellez were the attendants. Freshmen were invited to join all the school clubs and activities. The freshmen football and bas- ketball teams, frosh cheerlead- ers, and the “C” volleyball team were composed of ninth graders. Boys also went out for wrestling. FRESHMEN BURNED!

J.Farrington, L.Brubaker and A.Edwards. The spirited class of '76 star- ted the year off with much enthu- siasm. The major activity sch- eduled was fabricating a float for Homecoming. Picking the theme of “Mash Miami” the class built a large bowl, with a Miami Van- dal instant potato carton, a milk bottle and eggs. When the float was finished and judged the class received third place. The Jun- ior Homecoming attendants were Gilbert Tapia and Dixie Redelfs. Breaking tradition, the class ordered rings while sophomores instead of waiting until Juniors. This was done because the price of gold was going up rapidly and jewelry costs were increasing. 102 MASHED POTATOES. A MILK CARTON. AND A M IX INC bowl were ihe ingredients of the junior float.

Preparations for the play includ- ed plans for the lighting effects, staging props, constructing pro- grams, and tryouts for cast parts. Under the direction of Mrs. D. Towle the cast performed for the grade school children, then for the public. Acting as Romeo, C. Sircy along with the other mem- bers of the cast overcame stage fright and showed good acting a- bilities in front of large crowds. The play involved a hermit nam- ed Romeo, who had never before seen girls and had never lived in society. Helping Romeo to under- stand girls and society made the play very humorous and exciting.

Twelve students were chosen delegates to Boys' State, Girls' State and Anytown. These repre- sentatives were chosen solely on the basis of requests they submit- ted to the Scholarship Committee. The Boys' Staters met in Flag- staff while Tucson was the site of similar activities for their girls' counterpart. These delegates es- tablished sham city, county and state governments. Campaigning for office was done by way of a two party system much like that of the United States. Party mem- bers were assigned upon arrival. After arrival in the Chiricauha Mountains, the Anytowners col- lided with many group problems. These they learned to deal with through tedious hours of negotia- tions and compromise. Included in these problems were the form- ing of cabin groups and commun- ities. The communities of boys' and girls’ cabin groups then went about choosing leaders for their pictursque living developments. 106 Spanish National Honor Group Installs 15 Initiates in Impressive Ceremony Fifteen new students were ini- tiated into Spanish National Honor Society last spring. Events were held in the Home Economics room which was festively decorated for the party. Prior to the ceremony Mr. Lara presented a brief his- tory and purpose of the Rosa Ber- ra Chapter.

It had seemed like yesterday that the class of '75 had entered MHS as freshmen who whitewash- ed the “M” Becoming a part of this student body helped each one mature into young adults as the years went by. As sophomores, the class took second place in the class competition. They earned money for the next two years by selling Wildcat pep buttons. The highlight of the year was choosing class pins. It was the first time the soph pins had been ordered. The feeling of shared leader- ship was the result of becoming upperclassmen. The ordering of rings thrilled each and everyone. Being enthusiastic juniors they showed their talent when “Back- woods Romeo” was presented to the public. At the annual banquet they were honored by the seniors. In turn the traditional prom was given to honor the class of 1974.

Finally the idea of being a se- nior was real. But this year in- cluded much more than activities. Considered plans for the future had to be made. Whether to go to college, join the armed forces, worked for P.D., or even marry were a few of the decisions. An- nouncements were ordered, se- nior jewelry chosen and portraits taken. Then came the march in cap and gown and each received eagerly his long awaited diploma. DID YOU HEAR THE ONE ABOUT? Seniorscrack jokes while making Rowers for prom.

Boosters' Club Backs Teams; Holds Banquets STATE BASEBALL. CHAMPIONS are congratulated by Coach Vern Freidli. At the beginning of the year the Morenci Boosters Club began pro- moting football games. The old bleachers were and key chains sold by members helped earn money for these pro- jects. The money earned was also used to purchase the more than $1,000 dollars worth of trophies given away to athletes each year. To boost spirit, basketball and football games between J.V. and Varsity fathers were sponsored. Three banquets were also given to honor fall, winter, and spring sports athletes. The aim of the Boosters Club is to promote spir- it and help out the Morenci athlet- ic program in any way possible. Page Sponsored By PHELPS DODGE MERCANTILE CO.

But as the fall approached we soon learned adapting these i- deas was easier said than done. At times it seemed an impossible task converting our work to fit A- merican Yearbook’s copy sheets. If it weren't for a few people who were there when we needed them we wouldn’t have had the success we did in finishing this yearbook. First we would like to thank our advisor Miss Marjorie Johnson, without her the Copper Cat would not be the reality it is today....... Special thanks to Mr. Roy Faulk- ner for keeping our financial re- cords and for supervising candy sales during football season when he would have liked to have been in the stands enjoying the games. We would like to thank Mr. Tony Boling and Rudy Vega for instal- ling a long time Copper Cat need, a door between the machines room and our classroom. Thanks also to the guys in our photo-journal- ism department. Without thier great photography our book would not have the high quality pictures we are lucky to have. The bulk of our appreciation goes to 23 of the greatest people around, our staff. Finally to next year's ed- itors) we wish the best of luck.
