1978 Copper Cat Dedicated to Miss Johnson, 33 Year Adviser ,Z 5,11 , t 4 Vg, - ' frahm - It is with much love and admir- ation that we dedicate this year- book to Miss Marjorie Johnson, who has made the Copper Cat pos- sible for 33 years and has given her service as a teacher for 36. Graduating in 1936 with a B.S. from Ball State University, Miss Johnson taught Art, Biology, and Business classes in Rome City, Indiana. Next she taught in Pao- li, Indiana for three years before coming to Arizona. At the Uni- versity of Arizona Miss Johnson began working on her masters in Business and took the job in Mor- enci in 1942 as a second semester position. The trip up here was most astounding, from Tucson a bus was ridden to Lordsburg and then to Duncan where a three hour wait followed. From Duncan Miss Johnson rode The Spoon Brothers Stage to Morenci which entailed coming up the old corkscrew high- way from Clifton. Upon arrival Miss Johnson was taken to the old high school which was famous for its circular outdoor fire escape and eight half-stories with ground entrances on every floor level. When taking her job in Moren- ci, Miss Johnson taught all of the business classes offered, which included Typing I, II, and Short- hand. For some time she was ad- viser to the school newspaper and handled both it and the yearbook. Later Miss Johnson gave up the newspaper. For years she also: acted as senior class sponsor- Not only did Miss Johnson be- come part of school life, she was also active in community affairs. She belonged to the Library Com- mittee that established the firs public library in the old shoppin center. Miss Johnson is a char ter member of the Theta Chapte of Delta Kappa Gamma and has al so served as President of Moren ci Teachers Organization, work ing on both the Welfare Committe and as the Insurance Chairman Miss Johnson was awarded th Master Teacher Award from AS in 1971 for dedicated service an superior accomplishments as teacher of journalism and advise of publications. To say that th yearbook has done well would b an understatement. Under Mis Johnson the Copper Cat has wo 15 First Class and 3 All-Ameri cans from NSPA and 6 First Plac and 11 Medalists from CSPA. He hard work and effort has paid of in producing some terrific year books. Enduring those pressurin deadlines was not easy but wit Miss Johnson's help and patienc we somehow managed to surviv and get through the turmoil. big Thank You to Miss J ohnso for her many years of service i teaching and for helping us, th Copper Cat staff, achieve anothe standard of excellence at MHS
