The class of ’88 took a lot of teas- ing for their perpetual last place finish in spirit competitions, number of stu- dents making the honor roll, and overall participation in school activi- ties. All kidding aside, the class had defi- nite problems. Most class members blamed their student leaders for the problems incurred by the class. Ac- cording to Ginger Wiley, “If our presi- dent and vice-president don’t like what someone else suggests, they just go off on their own and do what they want.” “We’re not all together,” added Alma Morales. “When we have meet- ings, very few people go. If they do attend, they don’t pay attention.” Jennifer Thompson also felt lack of attention was a problem. “Our presi- dent appears to be reluctant to take charge at class meetings. I guess he’s afraid he’ll lose friends.” Class president Fudi Pena admitted there were problems. “There are lots of clowns but not too many people willing to work. We have trouble de- ciding anything as a class because people argue all the time or never show up at the meetings. We had a bake sale at the beginning of the year but only 15 kids brought anything. The only good money-maker we’ve had was the 250 Wildcat pins we sold in less than a week.” “Yea Sophomores!” yell some enthusi astic class members as they show their pride at the Homecoming bonfire. Football Homecoming attendants for the sophomore class are Melanie Merrill and Felix Macias. Sophomores-27

Rise and shine band members “If only we didn’t start so early every morning, I would enjoy band even more,” remarked freshman Ann Annis. Her sentiments were echoed by other band members who were tired of the early morning band prac- tices that started in August and didn’t end until November when marching season was over. Band members were proud of the results of their long practice, howev- er. The “Pride” competed in the Pa- rade of Champions in Las Cruces, New Mexico, placing second in their class of seven bands. They also com- peted in the Eastern Arizona College competition where the band received a “superior” rating. In late September, plans called for the band to march in the Greenlee County Fair parade. Immediately fol- lowing the parade, the group was to travel to Thatcher to perform at the football game between Thatcher and Morenci. Although the band made the trip to both places, rain prevented them from actually marching or even playing. “The trip was very disap- pointing to us,” claimed majorette Kim Waldorf. “We had really looked forward to performing after all the long practices,” added Dianne Hart- ley. “It seemed like all our time had been for nothing.” 28-Sophomores “Prlde” Band
