LUNDEEN NEW TRAIL Not too many years ago, the school year book was entitled The New Trail I imagine that this title was as fitting then as it is now. As graduates, you will be leaving the old trail and entering the new. Some of you have realized, probably for the first time, that the old familiar trail has suddenly come to an end and you find yourself facing a new one leading to many strange places. This change in pace provokes serious thought from all of you and should be looked upon not with fear but as an adventure which will challenge you at every turn. For many years, you have been studying and preparing for the New Trail . Let me remind you that this trail will sometimes be steep, narrow, and very rough but never so rugged that you cannot pass. To date, you have not been labeled as a quitter . In the future, keep the spirit and drive that has always kept you on the move. Employers and schools of higher education are always interested in students who are ambitious and moving forward. Gradu- ation is merely the beginning of many great things to come. New and im- portant responsibilities on the job and as a citizen will soon be yours. As you assume these responsibilities, always remember that your education was made possible by loving parents, interested and devoted staff members, and sympa- thetic citizens of the community. We are counting on you! As you successfully -noster this new trail , it will be an easier one to travel for succeeding classes. Be a credit to yourself, your school, your parents, your tribe, and your society. God bless each one of you and may the years ahead be filled with happiness and success! GLENN C. LUNDEEN Superintendent G RE EIINGS FROM VO UR PRINCIPAL We are living in an amazing world—a world that is fast becoming more and more complex. Phoenix has offered you the kind of training that will help you adjust to the many changes so you will become self-supporting citizens and able to make worthwhile contributions to your community. You have been provided with a good foundation that should help bring you success. What you do to build onto that foundation is up to you . Phoenix provides a good academic program, strong courses in home economics and vocational shops, as well as practical experiences in dormitory living. Actual participation in school activities has tought you the kind of citizenship which is needed to get along in the community in which you will next live. Some of you will go directly into jobs. Others will continue as students in the commercial fields, in the field of practical nursing, and still others in colleges and universities. You have my best wishes for success and happiness.

CONSTANCE EDWARD W. BAEUCHLER The Closs of 1961 continued the increasing size trend ot Phoenix Indian High School by passing the one hundred mark for the second time in the his- tory of the school. One-third of the one hundred-two member class spent all four years of their high school careers here. One-fifth of them found joy in vocal expression with the well traveled chorus, while still another one-fifth of the class found recognition for their musical talent with the picturesque band. One-third of the senior boys received athletic awards for their heart-warming efforts on the basketball court and the football field. Seventeen members of the closs were singled out for special awards and or distinctions. Among these were La Rose Pete who received an academic award from the Phoenix Optimist Club, International, and Edison Johnson who was recognized for his outstanding athletic endeavors. We hope that this year's class motto, Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve , will grow to have a deeper and richer meaning for each and everyone of them. While schools are generally conceded to be institutions of learning, and adult life is o period of serving, they are inseparable. Leorning and serving, serving and learing ore unending processes that moke for o fullness of life. May God bless, love and keep oil of you and make the fondest hopes and dreams of each of you o reality. IRE SPONSORS 4 V MARGARET EDWARDS JULIUS D.

McMILLIN Under the active leadership of our executive officers, Valjean Joshevama. Barbara O'Callahan, Janice Ami, and Claude Kootswatewa, the Class of '62 exerted its influence in all aspects of campus life. Juniors recieved recognition for both achievement and citizenship from the Optimist Club. During Youth Appreciation Week, Joann Masa was honored for achievement in business, English and social studies; and Jimmie Attakai, in science, speech and social studies. Edward Antone, Naomi Garcia, Frances Lopez, and Raymond Patricio recieved Boy and Girl of the Month citizenship awards. Tom Benally and Harold Dedmon represented our school at the first annual Navajo Youth Conference in Shiprock. Jimmie Attakai, Stanley Honahni, Joann Masa and Barboro O'Callahan participated in the study conference of the State Reading Association in Tempe. Our class made significant contributions to the cultural and social life of the school. The junior speech class presented five one-act ploys, which were well received by the student body. The juniors were well represented in art and music. Many did outstanding work in the arts and crafts classes. Jimmie Attakoi wos vice-president of the band and Joann Moso, librarian; while Claude Koatswatewa was vice-president of the chorus. The semi-formal Christmas dance was attended by nearly four hundreJ students, who donced to the music of the Stratatones. The outstanding sociol event of the year was the junior-senior prom, held in the gaily decorated auditorium, as a farewell to the graduates. , The Class of '62 achieved recognition in the field of sports. Jose Antone, Leander Tewa, ond Luther Morgan served as co captains of the football squad; Leroy Patten, co-captain of the basketball team.

KOLTHOFF Deportment Head Alctho Van Zowl Marilyn Stafford ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT In spite of reduction in the student population of som schools, we continued our upward growth in 1960-61 and enrolled 497 students, three short of the 500 mark. After considerable reorganization, our library began its Fall service to the students and staff with a new Librarian at the wheel. Many attractive titles had been added to the Library collection. Our Band director transferred to the Elementary Department and our Choral director succeeded to her position leaving that position vacant. Three new teachers were therefore added to the staff to fill these vacan- cies—one of which was in the field of speech. In addition to the usual annual trips of the Band and Chorus, other trips were made by the Band to San Carlos and to Sacaton. After exploring the fields, in our summer workshop, the teachers in the Reading Division attempted some experiments in team-teaching; the math division decided to try out the new experimental math program sponsored by the Yale Math Study Group. Our first year, under North Central accreditation, moved with amaz'ng swiftness to the time of graduation when the seniors heard the longed for well done.

Twenty-three of these students completed the special program and received certif cates on May 1 7. The curriculum is s'milar to that of Indian Service Schools and pubi c schools in Arizona. Three sections of the eighth grade looked forward to Promotional Exercises on May 12 and their freshman year in high school as the next stepping stone in the r educational program. All students from Grades 5 to 8 were enrolled in an intensive devc lopmental reading program. Recreational classes were offered three times a week for the younger pupils. The boys and girls from two special classes attended home economics and practical arts classes. The students from Grades 7 and 8 were enrolled in Junior Band or Junior Chorus. There were four section cf self-contained ninth grade and one of tenth grade students. Three units of work were offered for each grade—English, Mathematics, and Science. Students from the ninth grade attended vocal music and physical education classes. During the activity period the tenth grade students were enrolled in Physical Education, Senior Band, and Senior Chorus. All ninth and tenth grade students attended vocational classes. The department was well-represented in schcol functions and school- community relationships. One hundred nine students took active parts in The Nativity; others helped with Open House; some appeared on programs for civic o.gan zations; four were exchange students at Longview School. All of the classes elected officers and had active homeroom governments. Grades 7 to 10 had representation ‘in the Student Counc I. Yes, the Elementary, Junior High School, and Special Navajo Department is a diversified department which adjust and improve the curriculum yearly to meet the constantly changing needs of students in a space age world.

PODOLL Deportment Head Cooking and sewing are skills that contribute to better living but they are not the fundamentals of home economics cs so many people are prone to be- lieve. New areas of learning are continuously projected into the home economics curriculum and the challenge for progress is unlimited for ambitious students who are willing to utilize their intellectual talents to their full capacity. EMMA A. PODOLL Jeonott B. Haas Marjorie Ferris Ja enc Gregg Moraaret Edwards Lillian H. Gelvm Alice M. Shipley Kurn KmcKrenm Anna Wilson HOME ECONOMICS (ACADEMIC) Home Economics is so closely related to daily living that it is an excellent preparation for homemaking or for a career to combine with homemaking. It is a basic education in which many young people discover latent talents which may develop into profitable and interesting jobs. Students interested in foods have opportunities to continue their educa- tion in such areas as food chemistry, research, nutrition, welfare work or hous- ing and those interested in clothing may become fashion designers, textile che- mists or buyers for department stores. The teaching field is also open to those who prefer to become teachers, and this area is open to both men and women.

They need a variety of well prepared foods to maintain strong, healthy bodies. At the Phoenix Indian School nine cooks and waiters are responsible to prepare and serve 3,000 meals daily. This staff works in a well equipped kit- chen and cafeteria and with the assistance of students both of these areas are maintained to meet ell feeding, health, and sanitation requirements. EMMA A.

You are entering a larger, more competi- tive and a less friendly world. YOUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOU. How re- sponsible have you been? Did you take advantage of new learning experiences and make necessary social adaptations? Did you welcome difficult studies or hard tasks as preparation for after graduation? These questions are clamoring for an answer. If you pass the test, you are better prepared for successful living. If not, success will be dearly acquired. Before receiving your diploma won't you take inventory of your assets? You may dissipate them, but let us hope you use them as a positive means to broaden and enrich your after graduat on life. May you face the future resolved to accept and to discharge the re- sponsibilities that are yours. L. McKINNEY Rena Roberts May me Ted lock Manuelito Lucero Lucy Mackey Roseiyn Barbee Caroline P.

MONTOYA Department Head (Boys) BOYS' GUIDANCE We, the staff, are confident you have been given the basic tools to f nd your place in your community. During the course of your schooling in reaching that goal called graduation , you were taught the meaning of many words which will never grow old. Dare a few be repeated here!?! Every effort was made to teach you to be fair and honest with your- self and to your fellowman. Because of the instruction given you, we know you will expect to earn what you get, no less no more. We have an adage that says: You reap most of what you sow , this applies to the little things as well as the big things. It is hoped you have learned to be fearless in standing by your con- victions after weighing the pros and cons, brave enough to withstood and face-up to the storm of life should they come. There may be some in the course of your life, so do not cringe at the sight of an uncoming event which may upset your peace of mind. Be noble without developing the big head , regardless of your success. Best wishes to all, DON C. MONTOYA William A. Ferguson Charles Eshelman Ceolo White Julius A. Famulattc Not shown: Sam M.

We hope you also have shared with us a mutual joy. It is a most difficult task to look at any manufactured item which has not called for the combined efforts of several craftsmen whom you represent. The very means used in getting this message to you called for the skilled metal worker who critically machined the precision parts of the pen as well as ma- chines for printing. The printer of course produced this book. The electrician did his part to light the shop as well as run the machines. The auto mechanic saw to it that the vehicles were in good running order. The block layer, the carpenter, and the painter, combined their efforts to make the shop of wood, brick and cement with its many shelves and cabinets, all with o final touch of colorful paint to preserve the materials as well as add color and beauty to everything. So you see, there is a place for you in industry. All you have to do, is to do your utmost to hold to it. The very same message holds for those of you who are to return for addi- tional training. Welcome back.

In our modern day, the expression Sea of Life seems to be too molded or matter of fact. Outer space is the unknown but is in the stages of being conquered by man. Your life will fall in th s category but with good judgement and sound determinat on, no goal is beyond your reach—even the unknown. The maintenance department wishes God's speed to each and everyone of you and is looking forward to the return of the undergraduates to school this com ng year. WILLIAM J.

STEVENS Jr. Religious Director Our congratulations to the graduates of 1961, and to each student on the campus who has now advanced another year. However, we have a special in- terest in you who are seniors. Every employee of an educational institution has a class to which he will always especially feel near. You seniors began your freshman year with my first year on this campus. Togehter we have shared what it means to spend four years here. No other class can have this particular re- lationship for me....Now, you go, and may you continue to grow; as I remain, and hope to continue to grow. May you “go in beauty , as the tribe of the People say. Our religious activities have grown this year. To share in guiding the re- ligious life of students a Student Religious Activities Advisory Committee has been appointed, with at least two representatives from each dormitory on the committee. Our Catholic group has added a Campus Choir this year also, and in the not far distant future, you shall be hearing them in a general religious assembly. Like the Protestant Campus Choir which sings in the Protestant Cam- pus Sunday Morning Services, the Catholic Campus Choir sings in Sunday Morning Masses. They sing in Latin quite well, too. Remember, students, that the challenge of life is to grow. Your mental and physical growth during these years is at its keenest. When the body growth slows, the mind should still keep on growing. When mental processes grow dim, the soul should still be growing strong. Jesus, the leader of all Christians, to the fullest stature, grew in favor with God and man. In some measure, may you al- ways grow in favor with God and with man. And may you now go in beauty . Rev. William H.

Gini T uclcer SCHOOL CLI C A School Clinic is simliar to any other office providing medical services, i. e., it is a very busy place. The Phoenix Indian School Clinic is no exception. Originally, students were seen at the Phoenix Ind.an Hospital, Out Patient Clinic, at that time under the BIA. In July, 1955, Indian Health became a part of US Public Health Department. In 1953, morning clinics were held at various locations on the campus. In September of 1954, an 8 hour clinic finally became a reality and was established at its present site—the basement of the Auditorium. The purpose of the Clinic is twofold—to prevent as well as treat illnesses. Immunizations (which were previously provided by the City of Phoenix Health Department) are given yearly; physical exams on all students by Public Health Physicians; routine check up on students with chronic diseases as well as arrested TB cases; refracting eyes and dispensing necessary eyeglasses; referring students to outside Physicians (many of our students are being treated by Medical specialists); and hospitalization of students whenever neces- sary. Approximately 600 students are seen monthly at the Clinic for medical attention. May we inject a personal note? We feel that we have became a part of the school. It is our hope and belief that we shall continue to assist the students toward good health and it is our reverent desire that the students become as well in body as in mind. RHODA MOE, R. N. GINI TUCKER Soy ah' In both arms 68 Julius A. Fomulotte S Physical Education is not only one of tho most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.The relation- ship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capa- city when the body is h;althy and strong; that hardy spirits and minds usually inhabit sound bodies. The athletic program consisting of football, basketball and baseball has important educational values. It directs the competitive spirit toward educa- tional goals. The sports activities provide leadership which sets good examples in habits, attitudes and conduct. It also helps the contestant to see similarities between life situations and those in sports. The variety of activities which the boys engage in with tremendous spirit are as follows: flag football, flicker ball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, badmin- ton, horseshoes, ping pong, co-educational dancing and a physical fitness test.

At the State Fair, our band was chosen to play over the radio and give a concert on the plaza stage, where a special music award was presented. This year our concert tour included Flagstaff High School, Tuba City and Window Rock auditoriums and San Carlos and Sacaton Reservations. The band again played for open house, marched in the Jaycee Rodeo Parade, and gave the annual spring concert in the oval. A new addition to our instrumental program was the organization of a clarinet quartet. HENRY USTI AK There were 206 students who participated in vocal music this year. Their activities were centered around the goal of becoming more familiar with music, thus enlarging their understanding of culture and the backgrounds of other people. Two main performing groups filled the call for public appearance. The Concert Choir consisted of 94 students, and first performed at the annual Nativity program. Later in the year they toured with the Band to Tuba City and Window Rock. They also made their own trip to Sells to perform for the Papagos. Much of the music which they performed was arranged especially for them. The Madrigal Chorus was a smaller group made up of members of the Concert Choir. It met three times a week separately from the Choir. This group of thirty answered many of the calls for performance, singing for school, church and civic groups on and off campus. They were well received and had many enjoyable times. These students who did not sing in one of these two groups participated in the preparation program in the classes and the Junior Choir, composed of students from The Junior High grades. They studied about music, and sang many of the songs which make up the musical heritage of Western Civilization, and the American Musical Culture in particular. DON A.
