Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1962 volume:

The Phoenix Redskin Phoenix Indian School Phoenix. Arizona This book has been published at no expense to the government. ■ £ £0 CA r 0 A MISS LILLIE G. McKINNEY In acknowledgment and appreciation for the inspiration provided to thousands, of young Indian people in the fulfillment of their academic, social, and moral potentialities, the 1962 Redskin is dedicated to Miss Lillie McKinney. Her high character, courage, ability, industry, and accomplishments have served as an exemplification of good citizenship for all with whom she has come into contact. On September 1, 1931, Miss McKinney entered the Indian Services as a teacher at the Albuquerque, New Mexico Indian School and earned several promotions while there. In September, 1942, Miss McKinney accepted the position of Girls' Adviser at the Phoenix Indian School and was promoted to Department Head Guidance in 1950. Since then she has received another step promotion. Her retirement is effective August 6, 1962. Those who have been privileged to share, enjoy and benefit by her friendly, sympathetic and sincere personality, are honored and fortunate indeed! We wish Miss McKinney many peaceful, rich, full years of satisfying retirement. 1 fkosttieM GLENN C. LUNDEEN The road of life extends throughout the years, sometimes with many detours, always with many obstacles but continually directed toward the goal each graduate has established. How you move along this highway depends upon how you will use the talents developed through your school work. You have each an individual path to travel, an individual goal to attain. What- ever your goal, and you should set it high, the success in reaching it will require an abundance of courage, a will to stick to it, the desire to succeed, faith in the principles you were taught, and the spirit of cooperativeness. The best in life is yours if you will only work for it. May the pages of this annual help you relive the friendships and joys of your school days. May I congratulate the seniors and wish you success in the years ahead. Glenn C. Lundeen Superintendent C04VtCKM£ tfr fcoO sA For the past several years all of you students have worked toward the goals and accepted the offerings of the many employees of our school who have done their utmost to provide the experiences that would better fit-you for after-school life. We hope that you have profited from the various experi- ences in the classroom, the vocational shops, the dormitories, the athletic field, participation in band, chorus, recreational activities, plus the many opportunities that have been provided you in a well-rounded program. Through your participation and accepting all these activities, we are sure you will be ready to meet the challenges that lie ahead of each of you. Our blessings go with you. Know that we will continue to be interested in you in the years ahead. James D. Wallace, Principal 2 JAMES D. WALLACE l-LLUUU SHIGERU NAKASHIMA The end of the 1961-62 school year finds you one more rung higher on the ladder of life. For most of you, the summit is not attained with an orbit speed of an astronaut. It will be a gradual struggle step by step with the progressive growth and development of all you have been taught and what you have learned. Each rung on the ladder will become shorter and shorter with your physical, spiritual and mental growth. Your road to success should be a wondrous journey through this ever-living world.

CONSTANCE T £ S£ V 0 t CLASS JULIUS D. TICKLE The Class of 1962 is the largest in the history of Phoenix Indian High School. One hundred thirteen graduates will, upon receiving their diplomas, depart from the school intent upon fulfilling the class motto: Success Should Be A Journey, Not A Destination . You graduates will have reached one plateau of achievement. Some of you will pursue higher learning in the Arts and Sciences. Others will take specialized training in specific fields. The larger group will go into industry and apply their skills in a highly competitive labor market. Your reward after four years of study and work is a diploma. The occasion during which you will be honored is Commencement. It signifies what it says; that you are commencing your first serious effort to carve a worth- while place for yourself in a complex society by increasing your knowledge while journeying through a succession of accomplishments that will bring to you many rewards indicative of a well-planned journey. May your journey towards other goals be filled, through the grace of God, with success and happiness. The Sponsors EDWARD W. BAEUCHLER JEANETTE B.

Wanda Masawiestewa, Hanley Begaye, Clarence Tewa, and Pricilla Papel received the Optimist Club awards for students of the month. Lena Seveces received the Youth Achievement and Citizenship award during Youth Ap- preciation Week. Because she is president or vice-president of a number of campus organiz- ations, Helene Jones qualifies as our most active campus politician. She and Mildred Tsosie participated in a panel discussion on youth problems at the annual Navajo Youth Conference in Shiprock. Fanny Silversmith re- ceived recognition for being the most outstanding Y-Teen. Contributing to the success of athletics on the campus hdve been several Junior Class boys. Martin Mahone won all-conference basketball honors. Oliver Chaca and Anthony Cook were also mainstays to the team. The most outstanding social events sponsored by the Junior Class were the semi-formal Sweetheart Dance and the Prom. Music for both of these func- tions was furnished by the Carnations. The Class is anxiously waiting to move ahead into the Senior year and to achieve even greater successes. FLORENCE COOK CAL ROLLINS ALETHA VANZWOL CLYDE H.

PUEAL  Iva Lee Lewis The Elementary and Jr. High School is a growing department which main- tained an average enrollment of more than 500 students during 1961-62. The organization of the department changes from year to year to meet the needs of the students. During the 1961-62 school year, there are only three and a half sections of Grades 4, 5, and 6. All students from Grades 5 to 8 follow a curriculum which is similar to that of Indian Service Schools and public schools and are enrolled in a developmental reading program. Rec- reational classes develop physical fitness and provide fun. The students from Grades 7 and 8 are enrolled in beginning or junior band and chorus. Although the students from Grades 9C, 10C, and 11C are departmentalized and use the Phoenix Indian High School curriculum, they are challenged to work academically to maximum capacity at their instructional levels. All are enrolled in practical arts, industrial arts or vocational classes. Art, band, chorus, physical education, and recreational reading provide a choice of electives during activity periods. The department is well-represented in school functions and community relationships. The academic achievement level and quality of school work continues to rise yearly. The Elementary and Jr. High School Department is proud to become a feeder system for the Phoenix Indian High School and other schools..If YOU, the students from the Elementary and Jr. High School, will remain in school and work consistently, you will be a credit to yourself and an asset to any school and community.

To the undergraduates, who will be returning for further training, the staff will be looking forward to seeing you again when it is time for school to open. It used to be that only boys had to think about choosing a vocation and preparing to earn a living. Girls were not concerned with the world of work outside the home. This is no longer true as today more than one-third of the total labor force in our country is made up of women and one-half of all married women work. It is very important that you choose your vocations wisely and work hard to achieve your goal. Emma A. Podall Department Head Verda Davenport Margaret Edwards Marjorie Ferris Javene M.

McKinney G x f Guictoj X Dopa UhiMvt Seniors of '62: You are favored graduates to be leaving the school at the opening of the new atomic era. Your parents were not so fortunate. You will be able to take for granted tremendous changes in our present and future mode of living and will understand the terminology used in Atoms for peace or war, but you parents will be groping for meanings in trying to acquire new trade skills most difficult for them to comprehend. Your parents are not versatile in the use of trade skills. One skill for them has been, until now, adequate to provide necessities of life and a few luxuries,- but you are, and must be, trained in several trade skills to meet the rapid changes being made in our modern way of living. May we urge you to keep abreast of present and future changing trade skill due to new needs and discoveries so you may be able to take advantage of financial gains and or better home living and use of leisure time? Very best wishes to you as you go out to meet your everwidening job and better-living horizons. L. McKinney Dept. Head, Guidance (Girls) Arlie M. Anderson Lillian H. Gelvin Mary N. Smith Mayme C.

Adtudosiy OepoA HJWt The Boys' Guidance Department, congratulates you, the '62 graduates. Most of you have reached your objective by completing high school, others of you are on the way toward goals you set out to reach when you decided to go beyond high school. Regardless of what it may be, you have been provided the basic tools to continue your endeavor for taking your place in your community. Whether you enter the area of work, vocational training, or pursuing a college education, you aim for success. Success in any of these pursuits is an individual thing with each of you. Much will depend on your standards, the interest, and desire you maintain, also the mature way in which any disappointments are met and how well you apply the knowledge you now have. If this appears to be too great a task, look back to a few months ago, when astronaut John Glenn Jr., orbited the world. Remember the many times the flight was postponed. This in itself would have discouraged many a hardy man. But these temporary setbacks did not deter nor discourage him from his objective or the mission he set out to accomplish. He showed faith in the Almighty, trust in his ability to apply his knowledge and training for the job before him. He also had faith and trust in the ability of those as- sisting in his space flight. In summary, his determination and dedication to .the mission was so great that courage was evident every inch of the way. Best wishes and good luck. Don C. Montoya Samuel M.

Both graduates and undergraduates have left behind a vast amount of evidence that much has been learned in the vocational fields. Yes, in every field of work represented here you have plainly demonstrated a keen interest in your work and trek of learning. You have proved your ability to successfully compete with other young appren- tices in these respective trades. Because you have had a good course in general shop, you have also been equipped with some training in other related fields of work. This is to your advantage because in a small way you are also prepared to venture even into other fields of work. You are living in changing times, but time always changes. Your older brothers, relatives, and parents have also proudly marched through a changing season. The key to the stairway leading to job security and happiness lies in your willingness to accept a changing world, your willingness to be open minded and adaptable. You are capable and versatile; yes, you can do many things. There is very little to hold you back. Therefore, I am optimistically looking forward with you in this same direction. The past year I have spent with you has been a very happy one. Albert Castiglia Department Head, Vocational Subjects Emmett Bowman Clyde W. Fuller Earl Havatone Melvin J.

LUCIUS fce tyUMM EcU( Xl£i04ts It is our constant concern that all students become as thoroughly prepared as possible to combat the toughening competition of life. We live in a time which is fast-changing and fast-moving — a time which is filled with great hope but at the same time, filled with great tension. The graduates of 1962 are well on their way in their preparedness and they will soon be making their contribution toward a better way of life for all people. Some through training received at our school will be getting their first full time job. Others will be continuing their education and training in college or vocational schools. We extend our congratulations and good wishes to each one. To those who have advanced another year, we hope that you have been inspired to continue on in your determination to be prepared for life by giving your best to the years of schooling ahead of you. tn order to be thoroughly prepared for life, in academic and vocational training there must be interwoven an awareness that we need a God-Cen- tered attitude toward life. The world today — and every community in our land — needs men and women whose lives are God-Centered. It is hoped that the religious training which has been offered to all students has resulted in many God-Centered lives. Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all . The Rev. John E. Lucius Coordinator of Religious Activities Passing Hymn Books 68 Rev. Lucius Counseling Students Fr.

The School Clinic (like the students) has been promoted to another level. We are now a part of the Field Health Unit with Dr. Leonard J. Wuest as our Medical Officer in Charge. This year we are fortunate to have the services of Dr. Wuest and Mrs. .Arietta Robertson, R.N., during all physical examin- ations and immunizations. Our health program is being expanded and we have the best of medical services available. There are many humorous incidents as well as serious problems connected with a school health program. We both have to keep on our toes to stay ahead of our students as they are becoming more interested in their own health and health education. We would like to thank all the school personnel for their cooperation and effort in dealing with the students health. To the graduates — we wish for you continued good health and pleasant memories and the hope that you will remember us — for our efforts rather than the inevitable shots. RHODA E. MOE, R.N.

It is planned to meet the needs of all. the pupils and to contribute to their physical and organic growth, social qualities of good citizenship, psychological development, safety skills for protection in emergencies,and recreational skills for use dur- ing school and later life. Competitive athletics has a very important place in the school program. It teaches the youngsters the value of sportsmanship, willingness to make self-sacrifices, and prepare them for competition which they will face in life. Competitive athletics should be recognized as an integral oart of the physical education program and should contribute to the achievement of the educational objectives. The activities which the boys participate in with great enthusiasm are: touch JULIUS A. famulatte football, flicker ball, volleyball, soccer, badminton, basketball, and soft- ball. The girls' activities include team and individual sports such as: party games, croquet, field hockey, deck tennis, badminton, .tennis, volleyball, speed ball, basketball and softball. Joe Famulatte, Cynthia Vanderhoop Bill Cordes Cynthia Vanderhoop William P. Cordes Ray F. Hunter Lorraine Brooks Students and Staff: Considerable emphasis is placed on a recreational program at the Phoenix Indian School. We build in regular p.ed. classes for a good recreational pro- gram. We make many games and sports available to reach the greatest numbers. We want you to be happy in school and at the same time learn to enjoy simple games in order to use your leisure time wisely after graduation to develop better mental health practices and find an outlet to free you from out-of-school business pressures stemming from day-to-day work. We have introduced you to good outside professional entertainers, your own talent shows, regular sports and both indoor and outdoor games. Have you seen both sexes playing together happily? Learning good dancing etiquette as well as enjoying a good sociable time? Sponsoring pay socials to make recreational dreams come true? Again we sponsor swimming, bowling, skating, horse-shoe pitching, deck tennis, volley ball, intramural basketball and mixed soft ball games, table games and Indian dances and games. And we have not lost sight of a physical fitness program as recommended by our President. We encourage this in our daily classroom supervision. We want you to be healthy. We have sponsored recreational clubs, pompons, pep clubs and trips to other schools with similar programs. If each of you has found a leisure-time activity that interests you, then we have, we feel, made a very real contribution in helping you grow up to face adulthood with a zest for living and we shall know you will fill your niche in life in an acceptable manner.

Checking The Checkers BoAtd HENRY IISTIAK Band Director This year our band has undertaken to perform the classics, which has helped us to mature musically and offer more variety at concert appearances. The repertoire consisted of selections from Beethoven's Ninth, Seventh, and Fifth Symphonies; Mozart's Menuet, Ave Verum, and the Alleluia; Mous- sorgsky's Hopak from The Fair at Sorochinsk' ; and Three Motives from Die Meistersinger by Wagner. Many special events were included in our schedule as: participation in the dedication of the Highway section by Hotel Superstition Ho, at which many dignitaries were present; band day at A.S.U.; leading the parade commem- orating the 50th Anniversary of Arizona Statehood; playing at the dedica- tion of the Highland Post Office; and, our annual concerts at Tuba City and Window Rock. During the half-time at Football games the band introduced several pre- cision drills besides a show entitled, Indian Progress consisting of an arrow formation, evolving into a rocket, followed by a tepee and a modern structure including a formation of the Window Rock Civic Auditorium. At the conclusion, three revolving wheels illustrated the wheels of industry which many Indian people are helping to turn in this modern day of in- creased production. We feel that our band program does not only develop musicians but also character. Henry Lisitak CA yia Moifo The 1961-1962 Choir consisted of 110 voices, the group being headed by Claude Kootswatewa as their president and student director. Events began with the Nativity performances and background music for a living nativity scene at Central Methodist Church. The Choir also presented a short TV Christmas program on KTAR-TV. Church programs and Open House filled the daily rehearsal program for a time. Miss Edwards then joined us in preparation of our annual tour to Tuba City and Window Rock on April 6-7, 1962.
