SCHOOL YEAR 1987-88 - it cer- tainly wasn’t just any ordinary year! The new school year brought numer- ous changes. Most obvious was the change in our name. With the addition of the 7th and 8th grades, MHS became known as Morenci Junior-Senior High School. Overall, the junior high students seemed pleased to be in the high school building. They liked the facilities of the high school better and felt like they were treated in a more mature manner than when they were at Fairbanks. The only negative response from the junior high students concerned their be- ing at the bottom of the totem pole and losing their chance to “rule” Fairbanks. High school students, on the other hand, didn’t exactly welcome the new addition to the student body with open arms. At the beginning of the year, the general consensus of opinion among the high school students was “send them back — we don’t want them here.” The year also brought us a new princi- pal and five new teachers on the faculty. New lockers were added along with an expanded curriculum of electives for the junior high students. A very welcome addition to our cam- pus was the new school display board located near the intersection of Fairbanks Road and Stadium Drive. The board kept everyone in the community informed about the weekly activities at the high school. Yes, this wasn’t just any ordinary year. Numerous changes definitely made it a BIG DEAL' for those of us at Morenci Junior-Senior High School. OFFICIAL ESCORT The varsity football team runs onto the field behind their special escort car prior to the start of the homecoming game with Benson.
