The one-of-a-kind dolls, who came complete with a birth certificate and adoption papers, caused riots throughout the country as shoppers fought to buy the scarce commodity. Their appeal was so widespread that many teenagers and adults were as anxious to get one as small children. Junior Jacqueline Cooper was one of the lucky people in Morenci to re- ceive a Kid I started screaming and crying when I got one from a friend for Christmas, recalled Jac- queline. The doll seemed so real I carried it around in a blanket every- where I went for weeks. Everybody wanted to look at her bellybutton when I brought her to school. The annual basketball homecoming ceremony was held in January during halftime of the Morenci-Benson game. Retiring faculty member Jo- seph Galusky was the guest speaker, and Mary Cork, representing the sen- ior class, was chosen Queen.

Other themes included hat and shades day, surfer day, inside-out day, and red and black day. There wasn't much participation after the first day, claimed Erika Baca. We heard people were unhappy with themes we chose, added cheer- leader Michelle Batiste, HAH the good ideas had been used in the past. Several pep assemblies held during the fall months gave students a chance to get together and show their class spirit while cheering on success- ful football and volleyball teams. A fun competition was held at each as- sembly with class representatives competing in a wheelbarrow race, ba- nana race, and licorice-eating contest. It was gross! exclaimed sophomore Anna Navarrete after she and Steve Brannon finished second in the lico- rice chew. lt was hard for me to eat it since l can't stand black licorice. I wouldn't have volunteered had l known what we would have to do. ilifijl A group of boys awaits the opening bell on the first day of school. A bumblebee and a devil, otherwise known as Aurelia Miranda and Erika Baca, enjoy the break between classes on Hallow- een. Fall Activities 23
