Our Spirit Will Mm Again Red and black balloons filled the sky above the stadium just before the start of the Homecoming game against the Ben- son Bobcats. The balloons had been dis- tributed by members of the newly formed Wildcat Club. As club president Bob Na- bor explained: “The balloons symbolized our desire to raise the spirit in the Mor- enci schools. As boosters, we hope to help get spirit back in both the schools and the community.” Students enjoyed dressing up during Spirit Week preceding Homecoming. With a different theme every day, stu- dents were seen in grass skirts, clothes that clashed, and shades and hats. School colors filled the halls on the day of the qame for the traditional “Red and Black Day.” Junior high and freshmen students were somewhat surprised at the begin- ning of the week to see the upperclass- men in some rather strange-looking out- fits. By the end of the week, however, they got into the swing of things and start- ed participating themselves. “I’ve never seen anything like Spirit Week”, con- fessed freshman Laurene Espinoza. “It was really different!” The traditional bonfire was held on Thursday night preceding the game; and a pep assembly, with the entire student body invited, was held on Friday after- noon. Football manager David Gonzales got everyone involved at the assembly by leading the student body in a “Boom Rah Hey” cheer. Homecoming attendants and candi- dates were introduced prior to the start of the game. Representing the various classes were: Sheila Gonzales and Rick Stone, freshmen; Jenny Taylor and Benji Morales, sophomores; Genevieve Orona and Jeremy Vanegas, juniors; and Leslie Terry and Ralph Mendez, Leslie Mitchell and Clifford Peete, Judy Moreno and Rene Varela, and Ellen Pracht and Rob- ert Chilicky, seniors. The little attendants were Nanabah Foster and Kurt Castan- eda. Following the presentation of the roy- alty, Clifford Peete and Leslie Mitchell were crowned king, and queen. Morenci’s 40-2 victory over the Bobcats gave the Wildcats plenty to celebrate at the dance held in the multi-purpose room following the game. SPIRITMOB1LE.
