ENJOYING THE FREE TIME before the bell rings, students discuss their summer activities. and her royal court watch the Homecoming football game from their float made by all classes. i4s School Floats On Royalty Nears Practice began in August for foot- ball and volleyball teams so that play- ers could get in shape and prepare for the first games of the season. Class registration along with teacher orien- tation was held in August. The first day of school opened with many disappointed students because summer fun had to come to an end. Teachers were pleasantly surprised to find apples with cards welcoming them back to school. Two years without floats during the Homecoming festivities left many people feeling there was something missing. Student Council voted to partially revive the tradition by hav- ing all four classes build one float to- gether. The float was used to parade the queen and attendants around the field. Events making headlines were Rus- sian ballet dancer, Aleksandr Gudon- ov’s defection to the United States, Hurricane David and Hurricane Fred- erick struck the Eastern coast of the U.S., and Soviet troops were discov- ered in Cuba. Movies shown at the Morenci The- atre were Alien and The Love Bug Rides Again. 5 On Halloween Night Ghouls and Goblins Invade Disco Students wearing sunglasses, hats, and styling their hair a different way were all a part of Spirit Week finally held in early October after having been postponed several times. The band travelled to Las Cruces, New Mexico to attend a marching contest where they placed first in the “B” division. The chess team hosted their first tournament defeating Santa Rita and losing to Buena. The Lady Cats took second place in the Class A South Divisional Volleyball Tourna- ment held in Morenci. Seniors had their first opportunity to take the ACT test while the juniors took the PSAT test. College repre- sentatives visited the campus to tell seniors about their programs. Gradu- ation announcements and senior keys were ordered. Senior band members were honored with corsages during pre-game ceremonies at the Morenci- Ray football game. The Greenlee County Fair was held at the County Fairgrounds in Duncan, where many students enjoyed the car- nival rides and games and others won ribbons for their entries. Students also had fun participating in a haunted house held in Clifton at D.C.’s Disco on Halloween night. Major events in the news during October were Pope John Paul II’s vis- it to the U.S. for the first time and the firing of ASU’s head football coach, Frank Kush. Edward Kennedy an- nounced he was running for president in 1980, and the Pittsburg Pirates de- feated the Baltimore Orioles to win the World Series.

Americans Held Captive in Iran The Santa Cruz Dust Devils ended all hopes for state championships in volleyball and football by defeating the Lady Cats in the semi-finals and the Wildcat gridders in the quarter- finals. The girls’ and boys’ basketball and wrestling teams all opened their seasons by taking on the Safford Bull- dogs. Parents were invited to meet the teachers at the fall Open House held in November which was followed by a concert presented by the choir. The Booster’s Club honored football and volleyball players at the Fall Sports Banquet. Student Council raffled off a turkey preceding Thanksgiving. Six Student Council members attended a workshop in Phoenix which dealt with ways to improve school spirit. As the 70’s ended, the long Christmas vaca- tion was welcomed by students and teachers alike. The world’s attention was focused on Iran where fifty American hos- tages were being held captive by Iran- ian students. Hits at the Morenci Theatre includ- ed Skatetown. U.S.A.. and a rerun of Saturday Night Fever and Grease. 9 Ex-Basketball Players Honored With Plaque The weekend before school re- sumed, students returned to watch the boys basketball team open confer- ence action against Sahuarita. During half time of the game, Mr. Larry Keenan presented a plaque to the school honoring the five Marin broth- ers who played basketball for Mor- enci. The plaque contained pictures of all the brothers along with retired jersey 21 which they all wore. After the carefree holidays, stu- dents faced the task of preparing for their up-coming final exams. February brought the first snow- storm of the year and, much to the students delight, an afternoon off from school. The severe storm caused the cancellation or postpone- ment of several school activities scheduled for the weekend, in addi- tion to making it necessary for the last home boys’ basketball game to be played at the Fairbanks gym. February 14 found some students receiving Valentines and carnations from admirers. The first Basketball Homecoming was carried out after having been postponed because of snow the previous week. Susie Deno- gean, representing Spanish Club, was elected Queen; Diane Taylor, Arlene Vallejo, Debbie Petty, Ramona Rodri- guez, and Linda Villagomez were se- lected as attendants. Excited sopho- mores ordered their class rings. Although the boys basketball team failed to make the playoffs, the Lady Cats returned to State for the fourth straight year. Morenci wrestlers re- turned from Phoenix with three med- als having been won by Robbie Wind- sor, Jerry Rodriguez, and John For- strom. American hostages remained in Iran despite diplomatic attempts by the U.S. to free them. The Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan strained the relationship between the U.S. and the Soviets causing the U.S. to push for a boycott of the Summer Olympics to be held in Moscow. Gold shot up to an all-time high of almost $900 an ounce. For the first time since 1960, the Winter Olympics were held in the United States. Eric Heiden won five gold medals for the U.S. in speed skating.

The juniors and seniors were tied going into the final competition. The small but powerful juniors came away with an upset by defeating the senior squad and thereby gaining the win- ning points for their class. Students endured the long SRA test in March, and juniors spent long hours decorating for the Prom which was held on a cold, snowy night. The long-awaited Easter vacation finally arrived in April with both teachers and students enjoying the time off from school. The many fund- raising efforts of the “Pride paid off when band members took a three-day trip to Alamogordo, New Mexico to compete in the Southwest Invitational Music Festival. 13 Seniors Anticipate Color Portraits The final month of school brought about various emotions. Freshmen and sophomores were excited about completing another year of school and were looking forward to the up- coming summer vacation. Juniors re- alized they were finally going to “rule” the school in their final year at M.H.S. Some seniors were glad to finally be finished with high school. Others, however, were a little less excited and more sentimental about leaving. Juniors started making arrange- ments for their senior pictures to be taken during the summer at Holla- day’s Photo Emporium in Safford. High achievers in Spanish were initiat- n Yearbook ed into the Spanish National Honor Society while journalists became members of Quill and Scroll. Athletes prepared for competition at the re- gional and state level in track and tennis. Students, especially staff members, anxiously awaited the arrival of the yearbook containing the first section of color pictures ever to appear in the Copper Cat. The annual autograph party was held after distribution. The last week of school brought long hours of studying for final ex- ams. Students dug through a year’s collection of papers while cleaning out their lockers. Finally, graduation and summer vacation arrived.

COPPER CAT QUILL AND SCROLL Booth Is Added For Candy Sales Thanks to the efforts of Phelps Dodge Corporation, the Copper Cat staff was able to move its annual candy sales at football games from a card table to a roomy booth. New members of the staff were assigned ad pages at the beginning of the year while experienced staff members finished pages assigned last spring. Later in the year the inexperienced journalists joined the veteran staffers in fighting for the typewriters and getting their pages returned to them to redo. The staff made trips to Safford and Clifton to sell advertisements and also had two subscription sales. Beginning photographers learned the art of taking pictures, how the cameras worked and how to develop and print their film. The photographers were constantly called upon to take pictures at after-school events and on weekends. Six members of the staff were initiated into the local chapter of the Quill and Scroll Society held at the Morenci Motel in May. Mr. John Glodis introduced the initiation ceremony which was conducted by advisor, Sandra Hudgens, and the senior members of the staff. Piano solos were provided by Ann Roche, Esther Perkins, and Kelly Hardcas- tle as entertainment. Also, Sandra Hudgens presented the Big “E” award to co-editors Sharon Towle and Esther Perkins. This award for efficiency was made possible by Josten’s American Yearbook Com- pany. The award was earned due to the promptness with which the Copper Cat staff met its deadlines. 19 STUDENT COUNCIL, ANYTOWN GIRLS AND BOYS STATE Traditional Float Returns Under the leadership of student body president, Richard Duran, the Student Council began the year by reintroducing the idea of floats for Homecoming festivities. The deci- sion was finally made to build one float on which the queen and her attendants would ride. Prior to Thanksgiving, Student Council members sold raffle tickets on a turkey. Several members attended the annual Student Council state convention held in Phoenix in De- cember. New activities were intro- duced including plans for crowning a Basketball Sweetheart and an award for the Outstanding Student Council member. Ann Roche and Maxine Glodis at- tended Girls State at the U of A. Ann was given the title of the Head of the Sanitation Department in her city. She was one of the twenty-one girls elected to the House of Repre- sentatives. Maxine was appointed Civil Defense Director for her city. She ran for the Justice of the Peace but lost in the primary elec- tion. Her city was named the Out- standing City. At Boys State held in Flagstaff at N.A.U., Richard Duran was named Treasurer for his city. Wes Edens was active in the Nationalist party. Rey Aguinaga entered the race for County Recorder and won. Soon after school ended last year, Morenci’s Anytown represen- tatives ventured to Mingus Moun- tain near Prescott. Every day the students participated in games and discussions. Workshops were held daily on topics such as prejudice, alcoholism and getting to know peo- ple better.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Members Roll in the Snow Six juniors, having at least a 1.5 grade point average, qualified to become members of the National Honor Society. On February 11, the new mem- bers were pinned with colorful rib- bons. Each color in the ribbon had a special meaning: blue for service, white for character, red represent- ing scholarship, and green repre- senting leadership. After the pin- ning, all National Honor Society members were excused from classes for the duration of the morning. Some of the members went to Cherry Lodge to play in the snow, while others went to Morenci Lanes and the Kopper Kettle Kafe. The official ceremony took place in the auditorium on February 12. The members gave short speeches covering the history of National Honor Society, and the meaning of the Society’s colors and emblem. Guest speaker for the ceremony was Mr. Luis Montoya, Superinten- dent of Schools, Clifton School Dis- trict. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY INITIATES: FRONT ROW: Sandra Rodriguez.

Instead of having only one stage set as usual, the ambitious play crew designed and built three differ- ent sets. In order to raise money for these settings, Drama Club held several bake sales. The history, dri- vers education and counseling de- partments also donated money to help with the cost of the play. The Importance of Being Ear- nest was not about being sincere but about the importance of the name Ernest. John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff assumed the name to impress Gwendoline Fair- fax and Cecily Cardew, two girls they loved. John Worthing was an orphan who was found by the fa- ther of Cecily Cardew in a leather handbag in a cloakroom in a rail- road station. Since John was going to marry Miss Fairfax, her mother, Lady Brachnell, wanted to know who John’s parents were. When John brought out the bag in which he was found, Lady Brachnell rec- ognized the bag as being her sis- ter’s. John was the son of Lady Brachnell’s sister and the brother of Algernon Moncrieff. John was eager to find out what his given name was and, of course, it turned out to be Ernest.

Several concerts were held dur- ing the school year with the first one taking place following Open House. Mr. Goodman conducted and was accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Betty Windsor. Musical se- lections included “Hurting Each Other,” “I Write the Songs,” and “Blowing In the Wind.” The Choir presented a Christmas Concert with the junior high band at Fairbanks Middle School on De- cember 20th. The concert was di- rected by Mr. Allen with accompa- niment by Mrs. Windsor and Lynda Goodman. Popular Christmas carols sung included “Do You Hear What I Hear,” and “Born In a Manger.” The choir wore their new costumes for the first time at the Christmas Concert. The girls were dressed in black quiana dresses accented by a red-tipped white carnation at the waistline. The boys wore a bow tie and red blazers. At the climax of the concert, the vocal music stu- dents presented Mr. Allen with a plaque of appreciation. 27 “PRIDE BAND Style Updated New name, new style. The two went hand in hand as the band changed their name early in the year to “Wildcat Pride Band.” A new style of marching was observed by spectators as the “Pride” changed its style from precision to corps. Two new groups were added to emphasize these changes: baton twirlers and drum majors. Plans were also made to introduce a rifle unit open to both males and fe- males. The percussion unit started the year with new corps style uniforms. The rest of the band members were measured and anticipated the arriv- al of their new uniforms in the spring. The Board of Education vot- ed to allocate between $25,000 and $30,000 to buy the more mod- ern uniforms. TWIRLER Michelle Cross goes through her routine at half time.

The “Parade of Champions” was held at New Mexico State University. The “Pride” took first place in the class B competition against Deming, New Mexico. Deming had been un- defeated for fifteen years. The “Pride” was scouted for the second time by officials from the Orange Bowl in Florida. After being “scouted” last year, along with five other high schools, the M.H.S. Band was the only band in Arizona to be given a second look. The “Pride” received many invi- tations to participate in various prestigious competitions including: the Greater Southwest Music Festi- val in Amarillo, Texas; the Durango Music Festival in Durango, Colora- do; the Carlsbad Music Festival in Carlsbad, New Mexico; and the Cherry Blossom Festival in Wash- ington, D.C. One fund-raising activity followed another as the “Pride” sold can- dles, Christmas trees, held bake sales, rummage sales and sold cou- pons for film and family portraits. The “Pride” and the Boosters orga- nization — made up of hard-working parents — raised over $10,000 alto- gether. The year ended with the annual presentation of the spring concert by the “Pride” concert band and the jazz band.

FRENCH CLUB SPANISH CLUB, SNHS Funds Raised for Activities Four seniors, two juniors, and four sophomores were initiated into the Spanish National Honor Society at the fourteenth annual dinner. Member, Leslie White presided over the ceremony, and Don Good- man welcomed honored guests. Co- ordinating officer for Eastern Ari- zona College, Mrs. Angela Alvillar, served as the guest speaker. At graduation exercises, SNHS seniors received the privilege of wearing special silver tassels to rec- ognize their achievement. The top two members scholastically, Esther Perkins and David Garcia, also re- ceived the honor of wearing cords. The French Club started out the year with bake sales and other fund- raising activities. Club members had the opportunity to purchase T- shirts and tote bag emblems with French phrases on them. Before the Christmas vacation, the group joined with A.F.S. members to pre- pare a French dinner. Spanish Club members kept busy throughout the year holding bake sales and working with the Rotary Club at their annual track meet in April. They also donated to the club’s traditional Christmas food basket which was presented to Mr. Ismael Espinoza, school custodian. 33 34 RETURNING to Morenci, Daniel Kaestli, '11 '18 foreign exchange student, answers questions by students in American Problems classes about European school systems. Seated next to him is his sister, Regina, and friend, Francis. AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE No Home Means No Student Due to the lack of a host family this year, the local American Field Service chapter was unable to spon- sor a foreign exchange student for the first time in 13 years. The club did, however, sponsor two Morenci seniors last summer on their trip abroad. Valerie Rodriguez experienced a disciplined school atmosphere while staying with the Shimuzu family in Kyoto, Japan. Val visited many an- cient and historic Japanese cities, temples, and shrines such as, Ginka- ku-ji, Kikaku-ji, Heian Shrine, To- koyo, Nara, Nagoya, Gifu City, Arashiyana, Shirahama and many others. She enjoyed various Orien- tal dishes including octopus and other marine foods. Wes Edens spent his summer in Lamprechtshausen, Austria. His host family, the Bruckmosers, showed him the sights throughout other countries including Switzer- land, Italy, and West Germany. He spent three days touring Venice, Italy. Most of his summertime was spent working on his family’s farm. While there, he learned a bit of German and helped in the birth of a calf. Wes eventually tried many new delicacies, such as lung soup. He enjoyed the soup until he learned the contents included lungs, heart, and the brain of a cow. The AFS Club sponsored a dance in January and also held bakesales, desk sales, and other fund-raising activities to help spon- sor another student to go abroad. They also hosted some short-term exchange students from neighboring states during March and held a combined Christmas party with the French Club in December.

Bomb Scare for Delegates Representing Bangladash, five delegates traveled to Tucson to the 18th session of the Arizona Model United Nations. The students, along with sponsor Mr. Bill Senne, left Morenci on Friday, February 8 in a raging snowstorm. Arriving in Tuc- son, the delegates sat on commit- tees including the Security Council, the Committee to Conserve Energy, and the Social and Humanitarian Committee. Topics discussed includ- ed Namibia, terrorism, political pris- oners, and rights of the child. In an effort to add realism, a bomb was supposedly placed in the Security Council to prevent delegates from discussing the Iranian crisis. Cindy Lizarraga managed to get her resolution adopted by her com- mittee and Wes Edens was one vote short of having his resolution adopted by the Security Council. Continued poor weather condi- tions in Greenlee County forced the delegates to return home early and miss the final session. The Science Club held bake sales and raffled off a television to raise money to purchase a lapidary unit. The unit was then used to enable students to cut rocks to be used in jewelry for future fund-raising activi- ties.

VARSITY VOLLEYBALL 44 Wildcats Host Divisionals for the First Time New uniforms and new faces in the starting lineup gave a different look to the defending state champs. After losing five starters to gradu- ation, coach Noralea Gale succeed- ed in transforming the inexperi- enced but scrappy team into an- other state title contender. Taking a 10- 5 record into the district tourna- ment, the Lady Wildcats were seed- ed third behind the Willcox Cow- girls and Miami Vandals. During the divisional tournament, hosted by Morenci for the first time, the Cats clawed their way to the finals after defeating the Sa- huarita Mustangs and Miami Van- dals in close matches. During the third and final match of the day against Willcox, the Cats were down 10-2 after splitting the first two games. They lost to the Cow- girls in a hair-raising game, 12-15. Chosen for first team all-conference were Melanie Filleman and Clifton transfer, Stephanie Upton. Estella Moroyoqui was selected to second team all-conference. Coach Gale was also chosen as Coach-of-the- Year for the A-South Conference by the other coaches. The Lady Cats then traveled to the A State Tourney which was held in Mesa. They easily defeated the Page team in two games, ad- vancing to the semifinal bout against the Santa Cruz Dust Devils. The Cats scratched their way through the first two games, with each team taking one game apiece. The third and decisive game was a battle to the end with each point being tightly contested. Morenci led 11- 8 before finally losing, 12-15. Stephanie Upton was named to the all-state first team. ILLUSTRATING A BASIC FUNDAMENTAL.

V. AND FRESHMAN VOLLEYBALL Little Cats Pawed by Bulldogs LEAPING UPWARDS, Lon Borjon displays her spiking abilities. The frosh volleyball team had a successful season, losing only to Safford. The Cats split games with the Bulldogs before losing the third and decisive game, 15-17. High point girl was Priscilla Baca with 12 points. The Bulldogs downed the J.V. netters in two games, 4-15, 10-15. Both squads started the season by defeating the Ray Bearcats in two straight games. After a success- ful win over Sahuarita, the J.V. lost two straight before getting back on the winning side for a few more games. The frosh faced tough com- petition from the Duncan Wildkats losing in the first round 12-15. They fought back, however, to gain another victory by the score of 15- 5, 15-4. High point girl was Bernice Ortiz with seven points. The J.V. volleyballers played a double-header against Willcox and Bisbee, winning one and losing one. In the first half of the doubleheader against the Willcox Cowgirls, the Cats were defeated 10-15, 15-8, 14-16. Both teams executed well, as they had a defensive battle on the court. Emy Bagwell had a kill, an ace dink, and two good blocks. Later in the day the J.V. Cats fared better downing Bisbee, 15-11, 14-16, 16-14. The first game was well executed by both teams, with the lead exchanging hands many times. The second game started slowly for the Cats, but they were able to tie it before finally losing. In the third game, the Cats also got off to a slow start but rallied to beat Bisbee 16-14. The high point girl was Linda Villagomez. J.V .

Before that victory, the Wild- cat squad had a difficult season de- spite a 30-0 opening triumph over the Cobre Indians. The bad black defense was the dominant factor in the second half of the Cobre game and Paul Garcia provided excite- ment with a 73-yard punt return. Playing in a downpour the entire second half, the Cats lost 21-7 to Silver City in their second game of the season. The Safford Bulldogs then trounced the local squad, 42- 0, as Morenci was unable to ever get any offense going. The Cats had five turnovers in the game. Eventual Class B state champs, the Round Valley Elks, then traveled down the “Trail” to thump Morenci 7-14. Punts were the name of the game in the Willcox contest. The superb punting talent of Bill Hoopes kept the Cowboys away from the goal line most of the game. Willcox finally managed a touchdown at the beginning of the second half, but missed the attempt for the extra point. A 55-yard line drive by Hoopes was-fumbled by a Willcox receiver on the five-yard line. Morenci recovered and was able to score two plays later. Hoopes went to the rescue again late in the fourth quarter when he booted a 65 yard punt to back the Cowboys up against the wall; Mor- enci hung on for a 7-6 victory. The Ray Bearcat’s defense proved exceptionally tough for the Wildcats as they held the Cats scoreless. In Morenci’s 17-13 victory over Miami, Coach Lynne Nuttall was quoted as saying, “the offense is fi- nally starting to come around.” VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD INCLUDES: FRONT ROW: Ernie Frasquillo, Mgr.; John Forstrom, William Hoopes, Tony Lopez, Ruel Rogers, Vincent Trujillo, Ruben Uzueta, Bob Judd, Mgrs. 2ND: Alex Guiterrez, Wes Pennington, Russell Gaethje, Michael Chacon, David Rodela, Arthur Rodela, John Shupe. 3RD: Mike Fahey, Robert Bonilla, Paul Ray Garcia, Jerry Burkett, Robbie Richardson, Ramon Saiz. 4TH: Fred Rodela, Oscar Salazar, Danny Daniels, Mike Martinez, John Ontiveros, Albert Aguinaga, Steve Chacon. 5TH: James Barquin, Mike Gojkovich, Perry Licano, Nathan Wright.

The Dust Dev- ils opened the scoring with a quick six points but failed on the extra point attempt. Morenci scored on their next possession and led 7-6. The Cats kept their lead until there was only 1:42 left in the half. Eloy then exploded for a quick 15 points making the score 21-7 at half time. Second half action proved very disappointing for the Wildcats as they were unable to put any more points on the board and the Dust Devils continued to widen the mar- gin with ten more points. Ruel Rogers led in tackles for the season with 61 unassisted and 74 assisted tackles. Other defensive standouts were Michael Chacon, Russell Gaethje, and Arthur “Bull” Rodela. In offense, Bryan Boling was at the top of the stats with 121 car- ries for 653 yards, followed by Vince Trujillo and Fred Rodela. Three members of the Wildcat team, Jerry Burkett, Paul Ray Gar- cia, and William Hoopes were se- lected to the All-State team. AGONIZING over an incomplete pass is Os- car Salazar. The Sahuarita and Bisbee games were both shutouts as Morenci skunked the Mustangs 34-0 and the Pumas 17-0. Fred Rodela and Paul Ray Garcia played excellent offense in these two games which led to a 5-4 regular season record, and a 4- 1 A-South Conference Record. Mor- enci’s second-place finish in the con- ference placed the Cats against the number one ranked Santa Cruz Dust Devils in the opening round of the state playoffs in Eloy. The Cat’s encounter with the Dust Devils was devastating as the BLOCKING EFFECTIVELY AGAINST the Bisbee Pumas are members of the Wildcat line. CAUGHT FROM BEHIND by a Sahuarita Mustang, Ruel Rogers.

Opponents The inexperienced freshmen were hampered by a very tough schedule as they played five J.V. squads. In their opener, the Cats faced the Benson J.V.’s, who prevailed 22-8. Next the Cats played back-to-back games against the Clifton junior var- sity. The more experienced Clifton squad easily won both contests. The Cats then dropped a low-scor- ing affair to Thatcher. Against the Willcox Cowboys, the Cats fell be- hind but managed to struggle back to tie 14-14. The frosh once again fell victim to their opponent losing to the Lordsburg J.V. They finished their season on a happy note by trouncing the Miami Vandals 32-6. Larry Kodriguez was chosen M.V.P. The J.V.’s opened the season with a 34-14 win over the Douglas Bulldogs.

The Clifton Trojans were next on the schedule. The Cats won 6-0 after a long de- fensive struggle. The J.V.’s then dropped two out-of-town games to the Silver City Colts and the Dem- ing Wildcats. In their next game, however, the Cats ripped the Bis- bee Pumas, 33-14, piling up 412 yards total offense. Returning home, the Wildcats skunked the vis- iting Willcox Cowboys, 24-0. Ray was next on the schedule and the Cats squeaked in a close win, 20- 13. The final game of the year found Morenci at home to face the Miami Vandals. The Cats won easi- ly, 20-6.

Robbie Windsor became Morenci’s first state cham- pion wrestler as he completed a perfect 28-0 record with his victory at state in the 145-pound division. Teammates Jerry Rodriguez, 98 pounds, and John Forstrom, 155 pounds, also picked up tournament points for the Cats with their sec- ond and third place finishes. The wrestlers started off the year with a loss to Safford and a win over Miami. The loss to Safford was caused almost entirely by weight division forfeits which ac- counted for a loss of 24 points re- sulting in the 58-11 defeat. In the Miami confrontation, Morenci again lost 24 points to forfeits but still defeated the Vandals 47-30. The next two meets against Sil- ver City and Willcox were cliff- hangers as the Cats slipped by with three and five point victories. A highlight of the Willcox meet was Robbie Windsor’s 46-second pin of his opponent. Following meets against Cobre and Silver City, Morenci took part in both the Douglas and Benson In- vitational Tournaments. The Cats finished fourth at Douglas and sixth at Benson. Jerry Rodriguez and Robbie Windsor brought home first place medals from Benson: Joe Luna placed second. Morenci completed their regular season with a win over Clifton and a loss against Bisbee. Cat wrestlers won all but one match in dominat- ing the Trojans, 37-15. At divisionals, 10 of the 13 Wild- cat wrestlers competing qualified to go to the state tournament. They included Jerry Rodriguez in the 101 weight class; Steve Vallejo, at 107 pounds; Reynaldo Aguinaga, 121 pounds; Mike Dominguez, 129 pounds; Joe Luna, 135 pounds; Robbie Windsor, 148 pounds; Fred Lanphar, 141 pounds; John For- strom, 158 pounds; Ray Gaethje, 171 pounds; and Martin Smith, 194 pounds.

The game against the Bulldogs was the usual Morenci- Safford thriller with the Bulldogs pulling out a two-point overtime victory. The following night the lo- cal squad held their own against the AAA Deming Wildcats throughout the first half. The local Wildcats were unable to regain their momen- tum following half time, however, and saw their five point half-time deficit increase to 21 by the end of the game. Paul Ray Garcia led the scoring in both contests with 15 and 26 points respectively. Game three provided the first victory for Morenci as the squad hosted arch-rival Clifton. The score was close throughout the first quar- ter as the Cats failed to convert on many scoring opportunities. In the second quarter, however, the Cats got going and outscored Clifton 28- 8. The final margin was 26 points. Paul Ray Garcia again led the scor- ing with 19; Pat Tapia added 16. Morenci then traveled to Thatch- er to take on the Class B 3 ranked Eagles. As in the Wildcats’ earlier losses, the squad played a good first quarter taking a 15-12 lead. The second and third quarters proved disasterous, however, as taller Eagles outscored Morenci 39- 24. Oscar Salazar was the leading Wildcat scorer in the 71-59 loss. Morenci tangled with a pair of Bulldogs the following weekend. Against the Douglas Bulldogs, Paul Ray Garcia tossed in 23 points in the Cats seven point loss. The fol- lowing night, in the rematch against Safford, the Cats were victorious, 59-53. The lead see-sawed back and forth until the 3:23 mark when the Cats went ahead and stayed ahead. Paul Ray Garcia and Pat Ta- pia led the scoring with 21 and 17 points. The Big Red team experienced plenty of action in the Deming Invi- tational Tournament over the Christmas holidays. The Cats had trouble with the New Mexico teams losing to Gadsden and Kirtland Cen- tral before pulling out a two point victory over Silver City. The new decade opened on a sour note as the Cats lost opening conference games to Willcox and Sahuarita. Pat Tapia was the lead- ing scorer for the weekend. Morenci added to their win col- umn when they next played the Duncan Wildkats. Although Duncan led at half time, the Cats managed to pull ahead 42-39 by the end of the third quarter. The fourth quar- ter belonged strictly to Morenci as the Cats broke the game open scor- ing 32 points to Duncan’s 14. Morenci’s taste of victory was short as the team traveled out of town to take on the conference power and 1 ranked Miami Van- dals. The Vandals nailed Morenci to the wall early taking a 45-26 half- time lead. Scoring sensation Tony Arciniega netted 41 points for the Vandals. Returning to the “Hill,” the Cats had some fun with the Bisbee Pu- mas. Although Bisbee started out strong taking an early seven point lead, they faltered quickly. Strong defense by the Cats caused 17 Bis- bee turnovers and the Pumas failed to score a point for over eight min- utes. The final score was an over- whelming 45 point margin in the Cats favor. “Black Tuesday” followed when the Cats traveled down by the river to take on the Clifton Trojans and suffered their first loss to Clifton since 1971. Trojan freshman Ar- mand Merino poured in 24 points; Paul Ray Garcia had 22 for the Cats. 56 ELBOW TO ELBOW. Paul Ray Garcia and the Safford center battle it out for the jump ball.

He made the front end but missed his second shot. Alan Reed scored a bucket for Thatcher as time ran out to send the game into its second over- time. Only two points were scored by both teams in the second overtime. Scott Bryce scored for Thatcher on a jump shot while Jimmy Trujillo converted on two free throws for the Cats. In the third overtime, both teams scored only two points again. The Cats had several chances to win as they missed the front end of four one-and-one free throws. Jimmy Trujillo and Tony Lopez quickly put Morenci up, 85-81, in the fourth overtime. As time ran out, Scott Bryce had a chance at the free-throw line to tie the score for the Eagles. He missed, and Tony Lopez grabbed the rebound to preserve the Wildcat victory. Five Wildcats scored in double fig- ures: Pat Tapia had 12 points be- fore fouling out in the fourth period of regulation play; Paul Ray Garcia added 26 before he too fouled out in the third overtime; Jimmy Truji- llo had 17; Eddie Tellez scored 15: and Tony Lopez tallied 10 points. Morenci closed out its home sea- son in an unlikely place. The game with Miami was played at Fairbanks gym due to icy road conditions near the high school. Tony Arci- niega again did most of the damage for the Vandals as he accounted for 32 points in the eight point loss for the Cats. A 2 and 8 conference record did not qualify the Wildcats for state tournament action as no district tournament was held this year. AIRBORNE FOR TWO is senior Paul Ray Garcia in the game against the Ray Bearcats. Following the Clifton game, the Wildcats suffered three consecutive conference losses to Sahuarita, Ray and Willcox. The Cats were then victorious in an exciting four-over- time contest against the Thatcher Eagles. Down by 15 points in the first half, Thatcher slowly came back chipping the Wildcat’s lead down to six after three quarters. The fourth quarter remained close with the Eagles finally taking a two- point lead late in the game. With six seconds to go in regulation, the Eagles were still up by two but the Cats had the ball. A shot by Paul Ray Garcia tied the score and sent the game into the first of four over- times. It looked like the Cats were go- ing to finish the Eagles off quickly in the first overtime as Morenci jumped out to a six-point lead. However, a three-point play by the Eagles, a Wildcat turnover, and an Eagle basket brought Thatcher to within one. With 32 seconds to go USING HIS AGILITY, Pat Tapia dribbles around his opponent from Duncan. 60 WE JV BASKETBALL THEY 61 Safford 54 66 Deming 54 61 Clifton 43 57 Thatcher 50 61 Douglas 70 54 Safford 50 83 Willcox 55 97 Sahuarita 69 57 Duncan 51 55 Miami 58 100 Bisbee 40 52 Clifton 38 94 Sahuarita 68 70 Ray 62 51 Willcox 39 54 Thatcher 56 72 Miami 56 96 Bisbee 59 62 Ray 55 WE Record 16-3 FROSH BASKETBALL THEY 52 Safford 65 62 Thatcher 64 64 Douglas 56 68 Safford 69 90 Willcox 68 54 Sahuarita 60 80 Duncan 69 68 Miami 76 49 Sahuarita 62 65 Willcox 49 77 Thatcher 55 Record 5-6 FROSH BASKETBALL TEAM: FRONT ROW: Armando Tellez, John Lee, Tommy James, Joe Subia, Larry Rodriguez. 2ND: Kevin Sterling, mgr.; Manny Gomez, Angel Rodriguez, Joey Merino, Vincent Peru, Marty Martinez, Eddie Castellano, Coach Gary Walton.

V. s Hit Century Mark LA YING IT UP FOR TWO, Michael Navar rete scores against the Sahuarita Mustangs. The J.V. Cats had a very suc- cessful season winning 16 of 19 games. Their first defeat came at the hands of the AA Douglas Bull- dogs by the score of 61-70. The Wildcats then returned to their win- ning ways by posting victories over Safford, Willcox, Sahuarita, and Duncan. Phillip Merino had 25 points in the game against Safford. OUTRUNNING his Duncan opponent down the court is Larry Rodriguez. Against the Miami Vandals, the Cats lost a squeaker, 55-58. Bisbee proved an easy win for the squad as they put 100 points on the score- board, winning by a wide 60-point margin. Several J.V. records were broken during the season. Ronnie Peru set a new scoring record with 31 points against Bisbee. Norman Trujillo and Phillip Merino set a new assists re- cord with 10 each in the Sahuarita game, while Michael Navarrete’s 11 steals against the Willcox Cowboys broke still another record. The team as a whole had a low average of 4.6 bad passes per game for the season. Although only a freshman, Michael Navarrete took top honors for the J.V.’s leading in individual scoring, rebounding, and steals. The frosh started the season with disappointing losses to the Safford Bulldogs and Thatcher Eagles. The Cats got their first taste of victory when they trampled the Douglas Bulldogs, 64-56. The following night in a rematch with Safford, the youngsters lost a heartbreaker, 68- 69. Mando Tellez led the scoring in both contests with 26 and 28 points respectively. In a thriller with Duncan, the Cats outscored their opposition in overtime, 11-0 to take an 80-69 win. Mando Tellez again led the scoring. A heavy snowstorm caused the cancellation of the squad’s last two scheduled games. J. V.

GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL Cats Bring Back The Gold Ball While the U.S. hockey team engi- neered a major upset by beating the Soviet Union and Finland to win the gold medal in the Winter Olym- pics, the Lady Cats were winning gold of their own. As the number two seed from the South, behind the undefeated Willcox Cowgirls, the Cats were not expected to win their second consecutive Class A state title. But win it they did, breezing to a 55-38 victory over Sanders Valley. The Cats first two wins in the playoffs were not as easy, however. The game with Monument Valley was a low-scoring affair in which the Cats hung on for a 28-25 victo- ry. Upton, Picken, and Macias were the only Cats to score. Facing the Santa Cruz Dust Dev- ils in the semifinals, the Lady Cats were behind 12-16 at the end of the first quarter. Playing without the services of injured Jacqueline Wright, the Cats went on to tie the score at 22 at the half. Morenci lost its momentum during the inter- mission, however, and let the Dust Devils pull out to a six-point third quarter lead. The exciting fourth period found the Lady Cats slowly making a comeback to take a hard- fought one-point victory. Stephanie Upton with 20 points, and Tami Picken with 11, garnered all but one of the Cats total points. After the Wildcats final tourna- ment victory, Stephanie Upton was named to the all-tournament team. Winning their second consecutive gold ball climaxed an unforgetable weekend. Because of the flooding in the Phoenix area, the site of the tournament was moved from Coro- nado High School to Apache Junc- tion. The team, unable to get motel accomodations nearby, was forced to spend their first night in Globe. Getting to Globe became a tiresome five-hour trip, instead of the usual two hours.

The Lady Cats began the season with a loss to Safford which was later turned into a win due to the Bulldogs having to forfeit the game because of an ineligible player. Proving they could beat Safford without the aid of a forfeit, the Cats thumped the Bulldogs, 67-44, in the rematch. The Willcox Cowgirls proved to be the Lady Cats nemesis through- out the season. The squad first lost to Willcox by 12 in the finals of the E.A.C. Tournament. During confer- ence action at Willcox, Morenci led most of the game before falling 24- 30. On the “Hill,” the Lady Cats again led throughout the game until the final quarter. Allowing Willcox to score 21 points in the fourth quarter, Morenci lost by 11.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Best Season for Lady Cats Despite losses in their first four games, the junior varsity progressed throughout the season and ended up with the first winning record since the program was established in 1977. In their opening game at Safford, the Lady Cats lost by a wide 26 point margin. Nancy Morgan was the leading scorer with 10 points. The following week, the squad host- ed the Safford Bulldogs on the “Hill” and lost a squeaker, 33-34. Patti Leonard broke the J.V. re- bounding record with 21 rebounds and also netted 15 points. Following losses to Bisbee and Silver City, the Lady Cats picked up their first win of the season, dominating Miami, 55-32. Exciting games followed as the Cats won a one-point victory over Sahuarita and a two-point victory over Thatcher. Kristy Boling and Bernice Ortiz led the scoring in these two games with 16 and 19 points re- spectively. After extending their winning streak to four with a victory over Bisbee, the squad traveled to Will- cox where they lost a heartbreaker to the Cowgirls, 35-33. The Cats got revenge the following weekend, however, when they beat Willcox by seven on the “Hill.” High point girl was Melinda Lopez with 12. The Lady Cats suffered their last loss of the season at the hands of the Globe Tigers, 54-58. Patti Leonard led the scoring with 16. Closing out their season at home the girls broke the J.V. scoring rec- ord with 59 points against the hap- less Thatcher Eagles. Sahuarita was their last victim, as the Mustangs were slaughtered, 56-22. Games with Miami and Silver City were cancelled due to bad weather.

GIRLS’ TRACK Stranded Squad Sends Out SOS Bus breakdowns, strained muscles, bad weather and sunburns seemed to dominate most of the girls’ track season. The team bus broke down on three separate occasions, causing the girls to be tardy for one meet and entirely miss another meet. They were also stranded in Willcox and had to call for help during the middle of the night. An unexpected snowfall in March resulted in the cancellation of a home track meet. The squad qualified six for state competition at the “A” South District Tournament where the team placed fourth. The 880 medley relay and 440 relay team took second and third and broke the school records held in these events. At the “A” State Tournament, Emlyn Bagwell and Becky Montez were the only girls to place. Bagwell took sixth in the low hurdles, and Montez took sixth in the 440 yard dash. Trophies and plaques were awarded at the Annual Spring Banquet to the following: High Point Girl, Emy Bagwell (127 total points); Wildcat Award, Sharon Towle; Outstanding Long Distance, Sarah Avalos; Most Improved, Estella Moroyoqui; Outstanding Sprinter, JoAnn Merino; and the Booster Award went to Lorri Gamblin.

The Wildcat’s first run came in the third inning when Tony Lopez scored preceding singles by Pat Ta- pia and Louie Ramirez. The Cats lost in the sixth inning when the Bearcats scored four runs to make the final score 2-6. This first game was one of many games that the Wildcats lost in the final innings due to costly errors they committed throughout the season. The Wildcats then defeated the defending AA state champs, Doug- las 5-4, scoring three runs in the last inning to win the game. Ed Tel- lez was the winning pitcher. The Ray-Morenci game was tied at the end of eight innings. But in the ninth, the Bearcats swamped pitcher Eddie Tellez for four runs as the Cats lost 2-6. The Deming Wildcats visited Mor- enci for the Cat’s next game. The Cats jumped to a quick lead of four runs by the second inning and stayed ahead throughout the game. Andrew Romero was the winning pitcher with six strikeouts while al- lowing only four hits. In the Sahuarita game, the Cat’s only three runs came from the first three batters up in the first inning, Tapia, Tellez, and Ramirez. Wildcat catcher Frank Lujan made an out- standing throw to second base to tag a runner who attempted to steal. The Cats lost the game as the Mustangs scored seven runs in the fifth inning. Louie Ramirez went 2-3 and scored three times in a rematch against Thatcher. The Cat’s defense got one double play in the game. The following day, Morenci played the Vandals at Miami. Six errors lost the game for the Cats as the Vandals scored three runs in the sixth. Wildcat pitcher, Eddie Tellez, had only one strikeout in the next game against Sahuarita. The Cats got off to a quick start scoring eight runs in the first inning. The next weekend, the Cats hosted Willcox and took a com- manding lead of 5-2 in the first in- ning. Pat Tapia was the main offen- sive man as he got a single, triple, and a home run. He scored four times and stole two bases. Mike Gojkovich also hit a home run in the fourth inning and went 3-3 with three RBI’s. Eddie Tellez had a good game as he allowed only two hits and two runs while he struck out five and walked only two. The Wildcats lost a heartbreaker to Safford when the Bulldogs scored seven runs in the fifth inning with the Cats coming out on the short end of the stick, 6-7. In the first annual Lion’s Club In- vitational Tournament hosted by Morenci, the Wildcats skunked a scrappy Clifton team. Louie Ra- mirez went 4-4 and had seven RBI’s. Ramirez also batted a home run over the fence to score the last run of the game. Bryan Boling was the winning pitcher having no walks and striking out two. With tournament action continu- ing, Eddie Tellez led the Cat’s vic- tory over Hayden with three hits and two RBI’s; two of his hits were doubles. The last two games against Hayden in the tournament were a different story for the Wildcats. Even though the Cats played well, they still lost the two games by scores of 2-3 and 4-5. The Cats lost their last game of the season against Globe mostly due to the five errors they commit- ted. The Cats were up by one go- ing into the top of the seventh in- ning, but the Tigers scored in the bottom to win by one. 72 GROUNDING THE FAST BALL into deep left field, Louie Ramirez drives in two runs while getting to first base.

Darkness Ends After going 2-2 in their first four outings, the Cats were involved in an unusual ending for a baseball game while playing the Safford Bulldogs. Because of darkness, the game ended in an 8-8 deadlock giv- ing the Cats and Dogs a tie. Revenge was on the minds of the Cats when Ray came to town. Vic- tor Flores opened the game with a triple, and at the end of the first in- ning the Cats led 2-1. The J.V.s went on to win 13-5 as Mike Goj- kovich pitched a four hitter. The following week the Cats were hand- ed an embarassing 0-7 loss by Mi- ami. However, the next day the J.V.s came from behind in the tenth inning to beat Deming. Victor Flores belted a triple, and Phillip Merino then singled scoring Flores for the winning point. In a rematch, the Douglas Bulldogs once again clobbered the Wildcats. Failing to recover from the loss, the Cats dropped a decision to Sahuarita. Using teamwork and determina- tion the Cats then compiled a six- game winning streak.

Cat and Dog Fight The frosh squad opened the sea- son with a doubleheader against the Duncan Wildkats. In the first game, the young Cats romped over Dun- can 16-7. In the second game of the doubleheader the Cats had a close call winning it by two runs in the last inning. Following their opening success, the inexperienced frosh were clobbered by Miami. More losses followed as the squad dropped three games in a row to the Douglas Bulldogs. Two of the losses came in a doublehead- er at home, 0-18 and 2-15. The third was at the Bulldogs home field when the Cats scored only one run. The lone score came when Clayton Milligan walked Billy Kings- ley home in the top of the third. Morenci then traveled to Duncan for a rematch with the Wildkats; the Cats were victorious 9-5. Miami was next on the schedule. When the first inning ended, the Vandals held a 7-2 advantage.

ADMINISTRATION Plans Finalized for New School The main item on the school board agenda in the fall was the fi- nalization of plans for the new high school. Michael and Kemper Good- win and Associates, an architectural firm from Tempe, presented the plans for a one-story academic building to be located in East Plant- site near the Administration Build- ing. The new school site work was contracted out at an estimated cost of approximately $8.5 million. Soil borings were required before construction could start because the building will be on reclaimed land. Phelps Dodge assigned men and equipment to the task of levelling and filling some of the site area. Plans called for construction to be- gin in the spring. Mr. John Glodis, principal, re- turned to Morenci six years ago from Grand Canyon High School. His main responsibility is to see that the high school runs smoothly. Mr. Glodis received both his M.A. and B.S. from Northern Arizona University. The assistant principal, Mr. Thom- as Powers, is in charge of scheduling all sports’ events for the high school.

She replaced Mrs. Sally Bahschnitt who transferred to Fair- banks Middle School. Among the many duties of the two secretaries in the high school office are typing letters, filing, selling books and sign- ing admit slips for students. They also train the students who are as- signed as office helpers. Ophelia Sanchez, attendance offi- cer for the Morenci school district, checks on all student absentees. School nurse, Alice Guerra, keeps busy giving ear and eye tests in ad- dition to checking students records to make sure they have all had the necessary shots and vaccinations. Students who had not received the required shots were then sum- moned to the nurse’s office for in- jection therapy. The new administration building houses the secretary to the Superin- tendant, Rosalie Gilliland, and the two district bookkeepers, Marion Hunt and Becky Navarrete. Mrs. Gilliland takes the School Board meeting minutes in addition to her other secretarial duties. Mrs. Hunt does the district payroll and keeps the books. Mrs. Navarrete serves as the lunchroom cashier and also han- dles the districts’ bills. The custodians clean the school every day in addition to supervis- ing the students who have been ap- prehended for their various “crimes” and have been assigned to assist them. The lunchroom staff prepares a balanced meal for the hungry students daily. LUNCHROOM STAFF: Irma Day, Winnie Henderson, and Emma Flores. SCHOOL NURSE. Alice Guerra.

Principal John Glodis and vice-principal Tom Powers went over school procedures with the new teachers. Faculty members were also given time to plan their lessons for the first week of school and to prepare their classrooms. Student Council continued their tra- dition of greeting the teachers with welcome cards and apples on the first day of school. Teachers were able to start mak- ing plans for their departments when they received specifications for the new high school. While fac- ulty members looked forward to the new 8.5 million dollar structure, some felt nostalgic about leaving the old high school where they had spent much of their teaching career. Parents entering the classroom of Mr. Michael Fleishman on the even- ing of the fall Open House were very courageous. Mr. Fleishman had been sprayed by a skunk earli- er in the day and the odor sur- rounding him was strong indeed. Mr. Jerry Goodman resigned as choir teacher during November and Mr. Bruce Allen temporarily took over his duties while the administra- tion searched for a new teacher.

An avid coin collector since grade school, Mr. Senne also en- joys playing tennis and chess. His school lunch hours are spent su- pervising the high school chess team. FACULTY Six New Faces Join the Scene Students and faculty welcomed six new teachers to the staff at the beginning of the school year. Miss Margaret Anderson left Boulder, Colorado, the well-known shooting place of “Mork and Mindy,” to attend the University of Arizona in Tucson. She did her stu- dent teaching at Tucson High be- fore joining our faculty. Her inter- ests are skiing, working with pot- tery, and sewing. Although born in Farmington, New Mexico, Mr. David Woodall spent most of his life in Bloomfield, New Mexico. He is married and his favorite activity is running; he com- peted in his first marathon race this year in Phoenix. Mr. Michael Fleishman taught at the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind before moving to Mor- enci. He has a wife and son. Activi- ties undertaken for entertainment include hunting, fishing, and camp- ing. A native Arizonian, Mr. Andrew Solvesky is married and has one son. Before coming to Morenci, he taught in Chinle, Arizona. A man of many interests he likes hunting, camping, hiking, traveling, flying, riding motorcycles, and racing cars. Mr. Jerry Goodman came to Morenci from Las Vegas, Nevada where he was a professional singer in a choir. He is married and has two children. Interests include sing- ing, leading music, and playing var- ious instruments. A nearby Duncan resident almost all her life, Mrs. Mayre Ferro did her student teaching here last year before joining the staff as a full-time teacher this- year. She is married and has two children. Her interests include painting, reading, jewelry work, and horseback riding. 85 ONE DOWN AND 57 TO GO Christie Sala- zar prepares tortillas for the fourth annual Spanish 111 luncheon.

STEP ASIDE, let the expert show you how it’s done!” Michael Uzueta demonstrates to Norman Trujillo how to use a car jack. The Driver’s Education classes spent the first five weeks of school learning and memorizing driving rules while waiting for the arrival of the training car. To help illustrate the tragedies that happen on the highways, “gory” films such as, “Red Asphalt,” “Mechanized Death” and “The Last Prom” were shown. A local highway patrolman was invited as a guest speaker to discuss new radar devices and how they work. After classroom work, students had a chance to get behind the wheel and show what they had learned. Humorous situations some- times happened; for instance, one female driver entered a narrow bridge and then panicking at her tight situation, slammed on the brakes and honked the horn simul- taneously. In addition, while practic- ing reversal maneuvers, another girl driver almost hit a car. She would have done so if Mr. Isaacs had not used his emergency brake. French was one of two foreign languages offered. Students worked in their textbooks for several weeks. After becoming familiar with the language, students took dicta- tion to see how well they had learned the material. French maga- zines were distributed, read and dis- cussed. The students also wrote to pen pals in Japan and Europe. Three different levels of Spanish were taught: Spanish I for begin- ners; Spanish II, the continuation course of Spanish I; and Spanish III for the advanced students. Spanish I and II students used the language lab, in which they listened to taped conversations. They also worked from the textbooks and wrote dia- logues to help with their usage and pronunciation of words. The Spanish III class worked from the workbooks and learned of legendary heroes such as Don Qui- xote and El Cid. They also pre- pared a dinner for their parents and friends to illustrate their knowl- edge of Spanish cooking. Vincent Trujillo cautiously dices radishes, while Jimmy Trujillo assists in preparing a salad. 87 SOCIAL SCIENCES Slide Presentations Observed World History pupils studied an- cient cultures and their empires. Slides and filmstrips gave them in- sight into primitive art forms. Stu- dents enjoyed souvenirs, momentos, and slides from the trips of Valerie Rodriguez and Wes Edens. Valerie visited Japan and Wes visited Aus- tria through the foreign exchange program last summer. U.S. History classes examined and discussed significant events which led to our modern day soci- ety. Maps and charts were used to further their knowledge. New text- books were purchased for both World and U.S. History classes. American Problems was divided into three sections of study: the American free enterprise system, Arizona history, and the U.S. Con- stitution. Students debated contro- versial issues to help them better understand the problems involved. Phelps Dodge Smelter Superinten- dent, Terrell Jackson, was a guest speaker. Pupils in Current Events used Newsweek magazines and maps for their study. News programs were also watched during class periods. Each week students chose a major issue from magazines or newspa- pers and discussed it thoroughly. WHAT WILL YOU BE? Mr. Richard Penuel from Bell Howell Education Group dis- cusses careers with students in American Problems. SKIMMING THROUGH a magazine trying to find an article on which to do a report in Current Events are Jose Toscano and Ar- mando Gonzales.

POINTING OUT different countries on the Newsmap are John Stoner and John Martinez. “KNOW THIS BOUNDARY!” says Mr. William Senne as he points out territories of the midl800’s to Joe Luna and Chester Espinoza. 89 GLUING AND CUTTING, Andy Ramirez and Mr. Kenneth Scheier work on holiday projects for a Christmas crystal display at the bank. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Grease Monkeys Repair Cars Metal and Woodshop students began the year by learning how to safely use the shops’ machines and hand tools. They were also taught gas and electric welding, how to identify the different types of wood, and how to sand and finish their wood projects. Projects undertaken by class members throughout the year included bowls, wastepaper baskets, cutting boards, cedar chests, funnels, stools, tables and other pieces of furniture. Students in Auto Shop studied the basic parts of the engine and how the engine works. Demonstra- tions were given to help the stu- dents better understand the rela- tionship of the working parts. Ad- vanced students worked on cars of faculty members as well as their own. In Drafting, students developed techniques in drawing architectural blueprints. Multi-view and isometric drawings were also used.

The classes saw filmstrips on the practi- cal application of genetics to the fu- ture health of humans. Subjects covered included cloning, replacing limbs, and test-tube babies. Through class discussions, students decided there were genetic and moral prob- lems with each method. Earth Science students observed a simulated volcanic eruption and studied the origin of planets, the creatures of the past, and the dan- gers of modern inventions. Besides dissecting several reptiles and other small animals, Basic Biol- ogy and Modern Biology classes performed other experiments. While studying genetics, the students also took a blood sample from their fin- gers, mixed it with chemicals, and determined their own blood types. Experiments were performed in Chemistry I and II. Excitement pre- vailed one day when Lori Borjon was covered with copper oxide after the stopper blew off her test tube. A math background was required in Physics as experiments and book- work got tougher throughout the year.

Freshmen English I classes read several short stories such as the “Gift” and “To Build a Fire.” In grammar they studied the eight ba- sic parts of speech. Vocabulit work- books were also used to increase the students vocabulary. English II classes got acquainted with research papers by writing a short one second semester. “The Glass Menagerie” and “Julius Cae- sar” were plays read from the Per- ceptions in Literature book. In addi- tion to plays, poems and short sto- ries were also read. Creative writing was done to improve writing skills. Mrs. Mayre Ferro’s junior English III classes experimented with some- thing new and different. The stu- dents were asked to write and pre- sent a speech in front of the class while being videotaped. The stu- dents found it fun and interesting, but there was much hard work in- volved too. Long hours were also spent compiling research papers. Seniors, accustomed to writing research papers, wrote still another. Acts of the plays “Hamlet,” “An Enemy of the People” and “Oedi- pus, the King were presented in class. Students wore simple cos- tumes to add realism to the perfor- mances. Practical English classes used Ace Kits supplemented by Scope maga- zines. The magazines were used to help the students develop their vo- cabulary and word usage. USING HIS ARTISTIC ABILITIES, Javier Salazar works on a colorful poster in Practical English to go with his Ace Kit. SPENDING TIME BEFORE THE CAMERA. Mike Ogas delivers speech on drinking ACTORS?

BUSINESS EDUCATION Department Shrinks from 3 to 2 For the first time since 1953, the business department had only two fulltime teachers. Due to a decrease in enrollment, a section of Bookkeeping, General Business and Typing I was dropped. The Business Economics course was completely deleted from the curriculum. Mr. Faulkner resumed teaching General Business for the first time in 13 years. A few basic things had to be learned in each of the courses before any real work could be done. In Typing I, the keyboard had to be mastered. Typing II classes had to adjust to the electric machines. In Shorthand, a few letters and words were learned to serve as a base for the rest of the year. General Business classes began the year by studying budgeting and related problems. Bookkeeping students learned how to keep simple records for a business. As the year progressed, this knowledge was expanded and used over and over again. As the school year progressed, Typing I classes began working on jobs. Assignments included typing personal and business letters, envelopes and manuscripts. Students used their skills and originality to create typed pictures for Christmas cards. At the end of the course, students typed dittos and stencils and learned how to run them off on duplicating machines. The Typing II course changed to Office Machines second semester. Electronic calculators, mimeoscopes, transcription and simulated key- punch machines were used to prepare the students for work in an office. Bookkeeping students learned about the many different forms of papers used in a business. Shorthand classes took dictation nearly every day as students tried to increase their speed. General Business students kept their own checkbook and also balanced it. FINISHING THEIR JOBS, are typing II stu dents Maria Benavidez, Marcy Goodwin, and Anna Martinez. % LEARNING TO COPE with different situations, shorthand students take dictation from different positions.

Students were taught to program computers the first semester while they became involved in projects such as constructing a program for Black Jack and Tic Tac Toe second semester. Computers used in the class included two with four K bits of memory and a larger one with sixteen K bits of memory, and a printer. Aside from strengthening basic math skills, Basic Math 1 and II covered elementary Algebra skills. Geometry classes worked on proofs most of the year. Advanced Math learned trig functions and how to apply them; at the end of the year they were taught calculus. Applied Math covered addition, Second Year subtraction, multiplication and division. In Algebra I and II, complex mathematical problems were solved. Using films as visual aids, pupils began with the basics in Home Economics classes. Early in the year students studied clothing selection during which they learned the figure type and color that best suited them. Clothing construction then followed. Breaking the monotony of textbooks and reports a guest speaker from Mary Kay Cosmetics talked to the classes on hair care tips, the latest fads, and the best style for personal facial contour. Projects undertaken by the students included buffet dinners and a dinner for the faculty who were invited by invitations made by the classes. By cooking and serving the dinner, students also learned table etiquette. After the holidays, family living was the subject of interest.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION ART Pool Gives Relief to Students Getting a break from the hot stuffy classrooms, P.E. students enjoyed swimming at the beginning and end of the school year. The girls participated in sports such as volleyball, volleytennis, basketball, and sacket, a form of softball. The boys meanwhile, focused on basketball, soccer, and weight lifting. In the spring both classes ventured outside to play softball, speedbail, field hockey, and baseball. However, inside the girls also began participating in the high school's weight lifting program as well as holding badminton tourneys and playing more basketball. The Health classes discussed many topics such as: the human body and how it functions, the hazards of smoking, the effects of drugs on the human body. First Aid. and the human reproductive system. The art classes focused upon the fine arts during the first semester of school. A large amount of time was devoted to graphic arts, with students learning skills in silk- screening, poster design, printmaking, and commercial art. Several students represented Morenci in the Greenlee County Fair, walking away with many honors. Ray Saiz received one first place and one second place ribbon for his pencil drawings. Other people receiving ribbons were Jimmy Trujillo, Robert Bonilla, Bill Hoopes. and Tim Pingleton, for their various art works. Second semester, students began working on different art mediums including clay and batic, an Indonesian method of hand-printing textiles. The year ended with the students designing and flying their own original kites. THE STRONGEST SHALL SURVIVE is the theory of Gerri Stinson, Deidra Vasquez. and Nancy Morgan.

Most of the seniors visited the college and armed service represen- tatives during College Visitation Day held in October. They started looking toward to what would hap- pen following graduation. Several seniors held after-school jobs and quite a few started saving money to help finance further schooling. Still others planned wed- dings with some taking place during the school year and others in the summer following graduation. During the year, a large number of seniors took the ACT test and sent the results to different colleges and other learning institutions. Forms were filled out for scholar- ships and federal grants while dorm applications were mailed in quickly. CREATURE FROM BEYOND?

Student Council organized the floatmaking but the senior class, which was the last class to build floats, took charge with their exper- tise to help build and decorate the float. The queen, Carleen Rodela, and her attendants, Irene Chavez, Maxine Glodis, Debbie Gomez and Donna Verdugo, rode around the field on it. The king was Mike Fa- hey with his attendants being John Shupe, Tony Lopez, Ruel Rogers and Vincent Trujillo. HOMECOMING QUEEN AND KING.

Raises Cash for Color Portraits In the spring of 1979, the soon- to-be seniors elected to have their senior pictures appear in color in the 1980 Copper Cat. Before school had even started, the offi- cers organized bake sales and a car wash to raise the necessary money. These fund-raising projects were held by classmates and within a month, they had made the $1000 needed to pay for the pictures.

SENIOR HISTORY Memories Moving forward into the future involves change, such as changes in personalities, tastes, attitudes and appearances. The class of 1980 is such an example. During the course of the past four years, they have accomplished such feats as taking a whopping second place for their frosh float, the dubious honor of being the last class to be initiated by the upperclassmen, and breaking tradition during their junior year by defeating the seniors and placing first in Junior Olympic competition. Class members have participated in state championship girls’ basketball and volleyball teams and in the award-winning “Pride” band. Still others have made Morenci more well known by their individual accomplishments such as Ray “Moose” Saiz taking state in the two-mile j-un, and Rey Aguinaga helping to win doubles in state tennis competition. Wesley Edens and Valerie Rodriguez represented the school and town by going abroad to Austria and Japan as part of an AFS project.

Very few par- ticipated in trying to win the school spirit stick by out-yelling members of the other classes. Raising enough money to have a successful prom was the main goal of the junior class. “Fame,” a band from El Paso, was scheduled to play. Nine bake sales were given to raise money, along with the selling of class key chains. The students who had high grade point averages throughout their three years were honored by being selected as members of National Honor Society in February. College bound students took the PSAT NMSQT and ACT tests. These tests pointed out academic achievements and weaknesses. ASVAB tests were also given to help students find their interests and abilities in career and job areas.

At pep as- semblies the sophomores often out- yelled the freshmen and juniors but could not quite match the seniors. Bake sales and dances were planned to begin raising money for the prom to be given next year. With homecoming just around the corner, Robert Quiroz and Lisa Sta- cey were chosen as attendants. Elsa Valenzuela and Janet Bahschnitt re- presented the class by carrying the class banner at pre-game festivities. Robert Quiroz was also chosen by the Student Council officers to at- tend a Student Council convention in Phoenix; he was the only under- classman selected. Sophomores also participated in clubs, sports and other activities. Several sophomores represented their class in varsity athletic compe- tition and in the “Pride” band.

The spirit stick is a painted wooden dowel that the classes compete for at assemblies. The winner of the spirit stick is the class which exhibits the greatest spirit as judged by members of the faculty. The freshmen were welcomed to high school “fun” by participating in the second annual peanut roll. During the race, freshmen boys and girls, competing separately, rolled peanuts across the gym floor with their noses. After several minutes of close competition in both heats, Larry Vaught and Jacqueline Wright were declared Peanut King and Queen. Elevator signs put up on store- room doors were a prank pulled by mischievious upperclassmen on in- coming freshmen during the first week of school. Homecoming attendants were no- minated at a class meeting toward the beginning of the year. Despite the many nominations, the ballot was narrowed down to five boys and girls each. Debbie Burt and Marty Martinez were finally selected to represent the freshmen. FOOLED by the upperclassmen's prank, Julie Conyer tries to take the elevator. 120 FRESHMEN PARTICIPATE in a contest for the most spirited class at a football pep assembly.
