Taking A Bite Out Of Crime Cooper receives award for outstanding law enforcement Although many students com- plained of long, boring, hot days, summer vacation provided sev- eral local students with the chance to attend some educa- tional workshops. Boys’ State and Girls’ State gave students an education on running a state government. Del- egate James Cooper was named as a member of the Boys’ State Patrol. “Part of my responsibil- ity was to patrol at assemblies explained James. “I wrote cita- tions for sleeping, being late, or wearing sunglasses to the assem- blies. Members of the patrol also took turns going to the dorm to see if anyone was ditching the assemblies; that was a reason for a citation, too.’ At the awards presentation following the conclusion of Boys’ State, James was named as one of the two outstanding law enforcement officers and was presented with a special tro- phy. “I was tough!’’ said James. “I didn’t let anybody get by with anything.’’ Anytown delgcfote •■k about different cultures. “I met so many kinds of people,’’ re- marked representative Kristina Richardson. “The Jewish pre- sentation especially fascinated me. Learning so much about everybody also made me learn a lot more about myself. Student body president, Suzie Valdez, and vice-president, Mona Sanders, were delegates at the National Student Council Conference in Oklahoma City. “This was the first time MHS had ever sent anyone,’’ ex- plained Mona. “It was also the first time I had ever flown, so it was really a special experience for me.’ When asked if she enjoyed the plane ride, Mona replied: “It was fun except that my ears got plugged up and my stomach was doing somersaults. I honestly think I prefer traveling by car.’’ Suzie was especially proud to be representating Morenci High at the conference as “ we were from one of the smallest .schools there.” Part of the ex- ement of the conference was the chance to hear such guest speakers as Julius Erving and Barbara Morgan, the next teach- er scheduled to go into space. “It was also exciting,” added Suzie, “while one of the speak- ers, when reading a letter from President Reagan, asked if any- one attending the conference was interested in running for president of the U.S. in the fu- ture. Several people raised their hands. Who knows, maybe I was in the room with a future presi- dent of our country.” At the beginning of the school year, freshman members of both Student Council and the Copper Cat staff were treated to a spe- cial initiation by other members of the groups. Senior yearbook staff members made sundaes on the heads of the freshmen at their annual initiation party. “It was pretty funny,” laughed freshman Dee Dee Horn after- wards, “until I tried to wash the chocolate out of my ears. The whipped cream only added to the problem.” Freshmen members of Stu- dent Council had to eat a bowl of jello salad without using their hands. Todd Johnson was the first to finish and was presented with his prize — a roll of toilet paper. STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS INCLUDE: FRONT ROW: Julie Baker. Lisa Taylor Spivey. Enka Ruedas.
