A STUDENT PUBLICATION PARKER HIGH SCHOOL PARKER, ARIZONA 1970 This year, the annual staff has tried to capture spirit at Parker High in many of the pictures throughout the annual. As it progresses, students become more involved with school activities. Spirit is what keeps a school alive, students laughing, crying, proud, and even better, proud of their school. This is SPIRIT! Spirit grows from little moments to remember and thrives on even bigger ones. The SPIRIT OF 70 will long be remembered by those who helped to make it so great! SPIRIT OF 70 2 CLASSES........................................... 6 SENIOR ACTIVITIES................................ 23 STUDENT GOVERNMENT............................... 64 ORGANIZATIONS.................................... 72 STUDENT LIFE.....................................104 SPORTS...........................................146 FACULTY..........................................184 ADVERTISING......................................194 5 CLASSES Today, the students, with the help of the faculty are working together to obtain their future goals. We learn from our books, but more important, we learn to work as an individual as well as a group. For Seniors it's hope; for Juniors and Sophomores it's work; and for Freshmen its a new life. Together it’s Spirit. anew®8-4 Absent: Greg Hines President Mike Warner V.P.
