Seniors in the class of ’87 graduated with several of its members receiving top honors. Lisa Taylor Spivey and Kristina Richardson were both awarded scholastic achievement awards to the University of Arizona.

Richard Ruedas was recognized by the school district for a perfect attendance record throughout his school career. When school resumed in the fall, stu- dents began preparing for Homecoming, which was the first home football game of the season. Happy fans celebrated a big win over Benson at the dance following the game. The Halloween Carnival didn’t draw as many participants as usual as the stu- dents had to figure out how to divide their time between deer hunting, the out-of- town football game, and the Carnival. The annual Christmas dance, held a week before Christmas vacation began, went over well despite Morenci’s loss to Lordsburg in the basketball game preced- ing the dance. Junior Deidre Peete was crowned “Miss Merry Christmas” at the holiday affair. Student life at Morenci was filled with a wide variety of activities keeping students busy and entertained throughout the year.
