Kxwawrwu Volume 32 Morenci High School Morenci, Arizona 85540 1 2 We dedicate this yearbook to our friend and beloved band director, Mr. Tom Braeuer whom we miss greatly since his resignation last fall because of illness. He was welcomed by the capacity crowd at the home Bisbee basketball game. This night was designated as Braeuer Night and he was honored at the halftime festivities. A red and black banner and cards signed by many friends were presented to him by Mr. Glodis. As he walked onto the court before the game, he was warmly received with loud applauses and a standing ovation. The people here in our community will always think of him and do consider him to be the No. 1 Wildcat. With Pride We Dedicate the 1977 Copper Cat to Tom Braeuer - lf 1 Vx I L' I 3 5 The Copper Cat Staff Brings the 1976-'77 Carnival on the Hill to You CARNIVAL ON THE HILL What is the meaning of that expression? In the beginning it was a nickname given to the athletic program. Now Carnival on the Hill refers to everything at Morenci. The Carnival is a part of the entire town- from the open pit mine to the shopping center- from Old Morenci to East Plantsite. Just what are carnivals? The old Italian language gave us the word Hcarnivalf' It was associated with the fasting of the Lenten season. Carnivals were known to the Greeks as festivals to honor their Gods. Other festivals were held at the changing of the seasons, or to ward off evil spirits. Ancient carnivals, like those held in Venice, lasted a whole season. Patrons wearing costumes with huge heads would chase one another about the square or 4 would cruise the town seeking adventure. These masks would hide all lines between social classes, thus allowing a slave to associate with a government official. This type of atmosphere allowed all to have a freedom that few had known. The freedom to be himself. The same atmosphere exists to- day with the same freedoms. Everyone on the Hill is allowed to be himself. Students still chase one another over the campus and through the halls. The laughter coming from the classrooms is the same that rang in the squares of Rome. Students still cruise the town in search of excitement and thrills. Little has changed since the days of Alexander the Great and of the gladiators. Morenci High School is indeed the Carnival on the Hill. fl , CHUNTHY ',,,..vf- ,ff M, V,- ' .Lf 561.

Tennis, baseball, and track gave participants a chance to be out- doorsg also to acquire sore muscles and sunburns. Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen chose new subjects and registered for another year, while eighth graders planned for their first year of high school and with their parents attended Freshmen Orientation. Copper Cat members celebrated their final deadline with a picnic at lower Eagle Creek. While band members prepared for their annual Spring Band Concert, excited couples planned for the Junior-Senior Prom. Finally, a much needed vacation arrived, the Easter holidays. Spectators went home with sunburns after spending the day at the Morenci Invitational Track Meet, in early May. Some upper newspaper and year- book staff members were honored by initiation into the Quill and Scroll Society. After months of nerve-wrecking practice, the Drama Club staged a very successful play, Harvey. A proud Copper Cat staff distributed the annual causing many students to realize that another school year was almost over.

Pep Club Supports School Teams Before each home varsity foot- ball and basketball game, the Pep Club members made bright signs to help promote all school spirit. Booster students later organized a bake sale to raise money to pay for their supplies. Spirit buttons saying This is Wildcat Country were also sold to the student body. TRAGYC Aids in Traffic Safety In their third year, the TRAGYC Club fTraffic Representatives of Arizona's Governor Youth Coun- cilj met in Room 21 to make plans for their upcoming events. Public safety on the highways was one of the many traffic topics discussed. This organization is associated with the Arizona Highway Com- mission. They held programs for the kindergarten and elementary children. Money was raised by having bake sales and car washes.

Initiates had wheelbarrel races and a sca- venger hunt on the wet field. All failing to find the required items were bombarded with eggs, pea- nut butter, mayonaise, and shav- ing cream pies. Then all settled down and cleaned up to eat. A number of fund raising pro- jects were held during the year: car washes, food ordered from France, and bake sales. The pro- fits financed holiday and bowling parties. Members sang French Christmas carols, and collected food for families who needed help. Meetings were held every other Thursday to plan club activities. 9- BLINDFOLDED INITIATE gets bombarded with peanut butter by Mr. Washington! I ,.-f , 'Rf , Y , ay-Nj? N Q 4 1 , ,Qi 4, , .

Al- so the calendar was crowded. A District Banquet was held at the Morenci Club where other schools were invited. They all discussed how their Council worked. This event was enjoyed by everyone. Later in the year, the members visited a AAA school to visit one of their Student Council meetings. The Student Council gladly welcomed new advisors, which in- cluded Miss Rebecca Deyo, Mr. Don Roth, and Mr. Tom Powers. There were many money rais- ing pnnects Pencds, popcorn, sodas, and ice cream were sold in the Student Lounge. The Coun- cil sent the Marching Band to the State Football Championship game and money was also given to the A.F.S. funds. After the Council met their own budget, the upperclassmen were invited to sell ice cream at the lounge. GUESTS ARE WELCOMED to the first District Student Council Dinner by Diane Casillas.

The Thespians painted posters and sold tickets for the Safford High School Mime Troupe, which presented both an assembly and later a public performance. Pre- ceeding the evening performance, the actors were given a dinner. The play chosen for the spring production was Harvey, which required much planning by Drama Club and their sponsor, Mrs. A- nita Walter. In January tryouts were held. Both a matinee and two evening performances were planned for the early part of May. 1976-'77 DRAMA CLUB OFFICERS in- clude: Frederick Appiah-Boateng, vice- presidentg Laurie Jean Espinoza, presi- dent, and Terry McLaughlin, secretary.

Because the school complied with ERA Regulations, the Girls League changed its name to the Student League. Although this change was made, there were no boys who participated in the club. Activity points were earned by selling sodas and programs, and bringing ice to all home football games. The students having the most points were rewarded with the opportunity of going on a trip. The Student League Prom was held on December 11, at the Fair- banks Cafetorium. The selected colors were shimmering silver and midnight blue. Their theme song Feelings was played by the band Friends , and Student League president Dilia L. Najar crowned the king Ross A.

These ques- tions were heard every day in the staff room. Seventy-five under- class pictures were destroyed in a processing plant accident, so there were, of course, many re- takes. Staff members worked on Saturdays to meet all deadlines. Five staff members attended the annual AIPA Convention, Shadow Mountain High School, in October. A Medalist award was given to the 1976 Copper Cat by the Colum- bia Interscholastic Press Associ- ation, which the staff added to the qw other awards in the staff room.

Wildcat. When assignments were made the staff covered and wrote the stories, headlines, and cut the mimeograph stencils. Before cut- ting the stencils, however, paste ups were made to see how the fi- nal copy would look. Then the co- pies were printed and finally dis- tributed during sixth hour classes. The staff tried to cover the latest sports scores and school news. In late November the staff in- vestigated changing the name of the paper. The suggestions were made by the student body and the staff members and were voted on during the English classes. It was decided to call it Wildcat Pride.

AFS was originated in France by a group of volunteer workers in 1914, to help young people go a- broad as exchange students. The program in the area began in 1971. My Fair Lady , a musical pre- sented by the Safford High School Drama Club, was the first AFS venture. Tickets were sold and profits went to finance Morenci's exchange program. Other fund raising projects were car washes, bake sales, selling AFS emblems. A fun filled evening of a bowling party and a water-melon bust was held in September to introduce the foreign exchange student, Fred Appiah-Boateng from Ghana, to the club members. Regular meet- ings were held every other Thur- sday to plan other club activities. 5:5 AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE MEMBERS INCLUDE: Front Row: Shelly Forstrom, Laura Russell, Fred Appiah-Boateng, Phyllis L.

Learn- ing right feet from left and coor- dination with other marchers gave new members several problems. Early in the 'season water bal- loons and shaving cream initiated freshman members. Those who resisted were seated in a tub full of messy ingredients which includ- ed mashed bananas and tomatoes! Out of town trips included trav- eling to the Safford-Morenci game where the two bands jointly per- formed the hit, Feelings. As the year's highlight the Wildcat Band 'entertained with a thirty minute concert at the state fair. Resulting in natinal recognition, the Wildcat Band was selected as Band of the Month for the Decem- ber issue of School Musician.

A month before the first game, the Wildcats were hard at work. On the first play of the season, Wade Wagley jaunted 49 yards for a score. Several minutes later, Naldo Peru split the uprights with a 35 yard field goal and 10-0 lead. The Indians struck back. Peru hauled in a Williams pass for the final score. Smith had 116 yards receiving and Wagley 108 rushing. Next, the Copper Ingot Game. Morenci scored on 5 of 5 possess- ions in the first half. Wade Wag- ley went for a 50 yard scoring run and Bacho scored twice. The Cats continued to set new scoring re- cords and Wagley scored two more times in the second half. On the ground Marin and Wagley gained 117 and 144 yards each. The Wild- cats then traveled to Safford. The Morenci squad took the ball in for a score on the first possession when Danny Marin scored on an 8 yard run. That was the only TD of the game as Morenci held the Bulldog offense five times inside the 'Cats 5 yard line. This was the first time the team had defeat- ed Safford at the Bulldog stadium. The Wildcats then traveled to the north woods into Elk country. The first quarter was close with neither team presenting a threat. Then the 'Cat defense held Round. Valley and the Elks punted. The ball was rolling on the ground and Danny Marin picked it up and ran 46 yards past the defenders for a score. When the Wildcats took over again, Ross Bacho set up a Williams to Peru TD pass. The Cat squad was unable to score a- gain. On the rain soaked field the Wildcats only managed 164 total yards, 100 of it by Danny Marin. Morenci traveled to Silver City. In the first half, each team made long drives into the other's terri- tory only to be denied the score. The highlight was when the Colts drove to the Wildcat one before a goal line stand turned them away. The second half began much the same way. Finally in the fourth period, Reynaldo Peru came in to try a 48 yard field goal, but an up- right got in the way and the game remained scoreless. The Wildcat defense held and Williams came in to lead Morenci to the victory. Following a drive of 79 yards, D. Marin scored with 1:13 left to play.

When the squad returned home after a month on the road they be- gan their conference games. Wil- cox played the team to a standstill before Morenci scored first on a field goal by Peru. Marin scored on a 28 yard run before the Cow- boys put points on the board. In the third quarter Wilcox took the lead from Morenci, but the Wild- cats struck back for 22 points in the last quarter. Marin rushed for a total of 161 yards and two scores. The 'Cat offense stalled the fol- lowing week against Ray although the defense shut out the Bearcats. The lone touchdown of the contest came when Steve Smith hauled in a 26 yard pass from Bert Williams. STEPPING IN front of the Ajo receiver, Ross Bacho intercepts for the Wildcats. Morenci revived their offensive team against Miami despite many penalty yards. Ross Bacho fell across the goal line twice after runs of 20 and 6 yards for scores. The defense even scored as Peru and Boling tackled the Miami passer for a safety. Wagley led the ball carriers with 113 yards. The Wildcat squad then took on a AAA team for the first time in football history. Morenci lost despite out-hitting their oppon- ents. Williams passed for 130 yards while completing 6 tosses. The 'Cats traveled to a rain soaked Bisbee field to end the regular season. Williams hit Peru with two scoring strikes and Ma- rin rushed for two other TDs and 123 yards. Bisbee scored their touchdown on a 39 yard reverse. K 1 4 I -1' -.tg fa. . -fx g 4 .

After a very bad beginning, Morenci struck first when Ross Bacho scored on an 18 yard jaunt off tackle. The Wild- cat squad led the entire game with three Peru extra points being the difference at the end of the game. Marin ran for 126 yards to lead all rushers. Morenci was then to play Page for the championship. The squad was out to revenge the loss the previous year to the Page team. On the first Morenci drive, Bert Williams scored from one yard out. Page then scored on a fumble return to go into the lead. The Wildcats took the fol- lowing kickoff and pushed Page defense back 50 yards for another Williams TD. The Sand Devils never got a chance to score again as the 'Cat defense held Page to 59 total yards during the game, compared to 386 for the Wildcats. Wagley and Marin ran over 100 yards each and Marin scored twice. During the long season D.J. Ma- rin ran for 1154 yards to become Morenci's third all-time rusher.

The Van- dals took a first quarter lead on- ly to lose it by halftime. More- nci managed to maintain the slim four point margin the rest of the contest as they advanced to the finals. After taking a first quar- ter lead, the 'Cat squad faltered and Ray took over. Fired up af- ter halftime, the local team ral- lied to own a six point advantage. However, Ray soon came back to force the game into overtime as they tied the game at 62-62. In the extra quarter the Bearcats scored 5 of the 7 points to claim the A-South trophy. The Wildcat team nevertheless went to state. Morenci came out against the Coolidge Bears and took the half- time lead as the squad completely dominated the game.

Driver Education students learn to read the dip stick in under the hood check before going driving. Nearing Sixteen Years, Driver Ed Students Learn Basic Driving Skills Before Driverls Education stu- dents begin driving, they learned how the combustion engine oper- ated. Reports on traffic hazards and driving problems were made by students. Traffic laws were discussed and many films stress- ed good driving habits, accidents and numerous ways to avoid them. Pre-driving steps must be ta- ken before a beginning driver can begin driving. They must adjust seats, mirrors, ventilators, fas- ten safety belts, and lock doors. Students must also learn to fix a flat, and how to drive in poor weather conditions such as rainy and snowy days and duststorms. The Driver's Ed car arrived for use during the middle of the cg ng WITH SEAT BELTS fastened driver education students were ready for a practice drive first semester. Each student ro- tates taking turns driving. Prac- tice stretches include driving on the parking lot, going to the Eagle Creek turnoff, down Chase Creek in Clifton, and to the lookout. A student must be at least fifteen years and seven months and must have a driver's permit in his pos- session to be eligible for the class.

Soon students began working on sets of jobs. Before the first se- mester ended, they had had one, two and five minute time writings. Before Christmas, students were able to use their imaginations by making pictures using their type- writers. Later in the year, they typed and ran dittos and stencils. Typing II students were able to take their knowledge and increase their skills. Electric typewriters were used in all the assignments. To help increase speed the clas- ses had timed writings. Before Christmas, touch fingering was practiced for 10 key adding ma- chines.

The pupils learned how to use many different forms. Early in the second semester, students were permitted to use adding ma- chines and were not required to add large columns in their heads. Shorthand, a class made up of juniors and seniors began the year by memorizing the shorthand al- phabet. Later dictation was taken and the letters were transcribed. General Business classes stud- ied budgeting and personal bank- ing problems, including filling out checkbooks and reconcilling their bank statements.

These assignments includ- ed outlines, essays, and business letters. A certain number were required each nine week period. Several classes were asked to write critiques of a movie showing life in a Nazi concentration camp. Most students found the film un- believeable and gruesome. Junior classes also viewed The Taming of the Shrew and Cain Mutiny. After studying a section on ad- vertising techniques, Mrs. Wal- ter's freshmen class made up ori- ginal products and illustrated pos- ters applying persuasive appeals. As a change, seniors chose stu- dent teachers to run their class for a day. Discussions were held on the subjects of draft dodgers and the legalization of abortions. Wordpaks, weekly exercises to expand vocabularies, were used in all English classes. Spelling tests were also held every Friday.

Topics covered in- cluded grooming and clothing se- lection, foods and family living. Later, students cooked. Each class invited faculty members to their Christmas Spanish Dinner. In the fall, beginning students learned the basics of sewing. The garments made included blouses, pants and other articles. Person- al grooming was also stressed. A cosmotologist and a hairdresser 2 were class guests. Both demon- ,QQ strated by using class members. Also, a child development unit was covered. It was illustrated by films and a section in the text. Irene Aragon brought her seven month old baby boy to class for the students to bathe and observe.

Among the things covered were polynomials, graphs, functions, and quadratics. Trigonometry and pre-calculus were covered later on in the year. Geometry students were amaz- ed by all the planes, angles, and rays that had to be used in proofs. In Advanced Mathematics class, calculus, sketch parabolas, circle and triangular trigonometry, ex- ponents, logarithms, cosine, pro- gressions, were also mastered. General and Applied Mathemat- ics reviewed the fundamentals of addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, fractions, and de- cimals. Workbooks were used.

The advanced stu- dents first reviewed, then began to learn new words and verb tenses. When French films were shown the beginning students found them hard to understand. Slides of Eur- ope that Mr. Washington had ta- ken on his tour of Europe were a change from the daily work. Be- ginning classes learned two ways of asking a question, by inverting the subject and verb or by raising their voices. They also learned all numbers and the alphabet. All learned about the French culture. The beginning Spanish classes put on a skit The Three Bears that had to be spoken in Spanish and memorized. The Spanish II students learned the culture and customs of Spain. They also stud- ied Spanish history and read about Columbus discovering America. RALPH LARA-Received B.A. and M.

It included the review of the executive, legislative, and the judicial branches of both state and national governments. Also studied was Arizona's history. Current Events is the study of world events. Newsweek keeps the class updated on the national and world issues, and problems. U.S. History classes did re- search on the American Revolu- tion, slavery, World Wars I, II, the depression, and world leader- ship. The presidential elections and leadership changes in China were among current issues dis- cussed. During election week, juniors and seniors participated in a mock election. Students then gave a number of campaign spe- eches for either candidates or pro- positions appearing on the Ariz- ona ballot. The students played the farming game, and learned of the problems facing farmers in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

Main ideas and concepts covered in Chemistry I and II were formulas, equations, chemical composition, elements, and atoms. Films were frequently viewed to give students vital and important information. Two men from the Environmental Protection Agency gave speeches and showed films on dangers of atomic blasts. Biology students covered such topics as animals, environment, plants, bacteria, and the human body. The dissection of animals and blood tests excited students. Subjects covered in Earth Science were topography, geology, mete- orology, earthquakes, and volca- noes. Fossils and Primal Man were also discussed. Lectures and films helped tremendously. t-. -, TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP is explained by Mr. Pfaff to his student, Katrina Wright. 3 av- RONALD T. PFAFF-B.S.

It takes longer for the cafete- ria staff to prepare the meals than it does for the student body to de- vour them. For instance, forty- five pounds of hamburger must be made into patties for one meal. The custodial staff worked a few weeks before school started wax- ing f'loors, washing windows, and getting the building ready for the first day of school. All the clas- ses are swept and cleaned daily and an average of six barrels of trash discarded. The janitors are also responsible for the upkeep of the campus and the football field. When the weight-lifting equip- ment went through the one-time stage, the maintenance men were given the job of rebuilding it, and the boys worked out in the hall, for about two weeks.

Many soph- omores stayed up past midnight in freezing weather and sacrificed class time to get it finished before the Homecoming game with Mia- mi. But miracles happened! It was finally finished and received fourth place in the competition. The sophomore class Home- coming attendants were: Sandra Moroyoqui and Herman Armijo. To earn money to pay for the Homecoming festivities and their Junior Prom the class sold coffee and hot chocolate at the last three home football games.

Rose Berra Chapter Installs Initiates into Spanish National Honor Society A fortunate few became eligi- ble for membership in the Spanish National Honor Society. They had 1.5 grade averages and had writ- ten five page reports on Spanish related subjects of their choice. A new constitution was adopted in order to assure that the mem- bers were worthy of this honor. Two negative votes in citizenship disqualified an applicant. To re- main in the Society, two years of Spanish is required by students. New members were the guest at this Spanish pot luck. Guest speaker, Don Tellez is a Spanish teacher at Duncan High School and a former Morenci High School stu- dent body president. He delivered a speech about the importance of always doing your best in school. Installing officers, Mary Ann Casillas and Alan Edwards led the initiation of new members.

Late in December Girls' League members started planning for the prom, selecting the theme song, 7 Feelings. Colors, shimmering silver, midnight blue were used in all decorations, Ross A. Bacho was chosen to reign 'as the king. The junior class voted for prom royalty early in the year so that pictures could be in the Copper Cat. Anthony Encians and Cindy McCormick were elected as King and Queen, and they led the Grand March to theme music, Tonightie the Night, and followed by their attendants. Colors, pink and bur- gandy decorated the gymnasium. ,Q -Qi ilxir, ll if h Akqh , 25, ,,,., t ' ' 1 r p 7 ,.ii 'Q Z 5 K iii' 2, .,,' X K we in L '-,,' ii if xii yi!! ' F J , n fi ' E E P' 1, 7 1 F?

The seniors antici- pated the future while looking for- ward to vocational school or col- lege, full-time jobs, or marriage. As sophomores and juniors, the class placed second in float com- petition. As expert float builders the class ranked first at Home- coming with Hubert Williams and Jacque Armijo as King and Queen. Participation increased in activ- ities as they became upperclass- men. As excited sophomores, the class won their first spirit week and ordered class rings. During their third year, they worked hard to raise money for the Junior-Sen- ior Prom and used the theme of Tequila Sunrise. Class mem- bers in their last year helped to bring about a long-awaited dream, the first State Football Champion- ship in the Wildcat's history. Filling out applications for finan- cial aid and scholarships, taking the ACT test, and senior portraits sometimes seemed to be trouble- some tasks for senior members. Graduation seemed nearer when members ordered caps, gowns, senior keys, and announcements. Graduation finally arrived, then classmates were sad. To mark the end of their high school ca- reers the Class of ,77 received di- plomas and turned their tassles.

Cit- izens of Rome, Venice, and Athens all honored their Gods at these festivals as well as the coming of spring. People often found the adventure they were seeking at such gatherings. Today Morenci has its own carnivals. The spring festival of the Catholic Church, Fiesta de las Flores , is one modern day adoption of ancient carnivals. Also kiddie carnivals, scout-o-ramas, bake sales, and raffles give citizens fun in the streets. 1 HK ' 127 Patrons: Awalts Service Station 325 Coronado Blvd., Clifton Betty's Big Dipper 307 South Coronado Blvd. Clifton Dolores Variedad Imports 615 Main Street Safford 428-2272 Elaine's Flowers 231 Coronado Blvd. Clifton El Carro 320 Chase Creek, Clifton 128 Layton Yardstick 617 5th Avenue 428-1080 Safford Clay Sz Cindy Montgomery Ward 622 Central Ave. Safford Morenci Barber Shop Morenci Shopping Center Kopper Kettle Kafe Morenci Shopping Center KCUZ 1 Wards Canyon Clifton 'im V'-11 fj'r.w 1115 M ragggfngzzazaszxfi n rr a a GENERAL fflffig L ' r A I r X A INC.

Many times we thought that we would not be able to meet our deadlines. During the course of the year, we learned so many things. We made more decisions than we ever expected to make. Now is the time to thank those people who helped us throughout the year. First of all, we would like to thank the Administration for giving us our own staff room. We give thanks to Mr. Faulkner for keeping our books balanced. To Miss Snell for supervising the candy sales. To Miss Marjorie Johnson, our adviser, a very spe- cial thank you for being around and helping us with the yearbook problems. We owe a great deal to Mike and his photography crew. For without them, we would not have had many of the pictures we used. Most appreciation is given to the people who helped us make this yearbook happen, our staff. It was a job well done and believe us we do know more than We,re working Saturday or Get those pages done. Finally to the fu- ture editors of the Copper Cat, we want to wish the best of luck.
