Chapters observe anniversaries Two local honor societies cele- brated anniversaries at their 1986 spring initiation banquets. Spanish National Honor Society, founded at MHS in 1966 to honor students achieving high academic standards in Spanish II and III, completed its 20th year. Quill and Scroll, an inter- national honor society for high school journalists, celebrated the 30th year of its charter at Morenci. A special guest at the S.N.H.S. banquet was Mr. Philip Berra, son of Rose Berra, after whom the local chapter was named. “Mrs. Berra was a Spanish teacher at Morenci High School in the late 40’s and the 50’s before succumbing to a coma which caused her to be hospitalized for more than twenty years.” ex- plained Mr. Ralph Lara, faculty sponsor. “Her son Philip, a 1960 MHS graduate, presently serves as the assistant principal at Trevor Browne High School in Phoenix.” The ten initiates at the Quill and Scroll ceremony gave the local chapter a total of 187 members, past and present. Previous members include students who worked on the newspaper, the “Wildcat,” in the 60’s and 70’s. The majority, howev- er, are staff members who worked on the many award-winning Copper Cat yearbooks. At the banquet held at Greenlee Country Club, senior members put candles on “anniversary pies” and led initiates and guests in a verse of “Happy Anniversary”. 16-Seniors S.N.H.S. Quill Scroll

Everyone eats tacos even in Australia. Q: How do people in your country celebrate Christmas? A: Christmas in Australia is in the middle of summer and it is hot instead of cold. We lay by the pool instead of playing in the snow. We eat cold meat and sal- ads instead of turkey, ham, and mashed potatoes. Q: Is the music here in the U.S. dif- ferent from what teenagers listen to in Australia? A: Yes, all Australian music is about six months behind music in the States, and no one listens to heavy metal music. Our music is a lot easier to dance to. Q: What is the beach like in Austra- lia? A: It’s beautiful! The sand is very white and the water is very blue. There’s fantastic surfing and the beach is always full of people. Q What are some Australian slang expressions and what do they mean? A: “Giday” means good day, “how ya goin mate’’ means how’s it go- ing friend, and “ta-ta’’ means Goodbye. Q: What different kinds of animals do you have in Australia that we don’t have? A: We have kangaroos, koalas, platypus, and wombats. Q: What’s the difference in the sea- sons and the weather? A: December 1st is summer, March 1st is autumn, May 1st is winter, and September 1st is spring. “Slow down!” yells Sam Byrne as she and Brian Looby take off In the three- legged race at a pep assembly.
