Better Than Ever Community praises new high school Excited and proud was the only way to describe how students and teachers felt on starting school in the new eleven million dollar build- ing. At the three-hour open house held for the community in late Au- gust, over 2,000 people viewed the new facilities. I was amazed at the large number of people who kept flooding through the doors, exclaimed Student Council Presi- dent Kelly Baker. The secretaries had planned refreshments for ap- proximately 800 people and they were out in 45 minutes. Comments about the new plant were overwhelmingly favorable. Many alumni were overheard say- ing: I wish this had been here when I was going to school. Named for Walter Lawson, a former Phelps Dodge general su- perintendent and Morenci School Board member, the new stadium was dedicated at halftime of the annual Copper Ingot game with Clifton.

Students yelled for joy when the PD callback was announced in mid- September. After a five-month shutdown, townspeople were quite apprehensive over the future of their community. When the call- back came over the radio, it was put on the school intercom for all the students and teachers to hear. My heart stopped when l heard it! shouted Cristina Romero. Better than Ever was the theme for the '82 Homecoming festivities held in October. A pep assembly was held in the new gym- nasium and each class paraded a float built on a children's wagon. Taking first place was the senior's entry entitled On the Trail to Vic- tory. At the Homecoming football game, the Morenci squad fell to Duncan, 6-0. :L- ' S ,t '.
