THE STAFF scratched their heads . . . and thought. What should be the Annual Theme? Progress? Marching Along? Guys 'N Gals? How should we typify average students at work and play, in and out of school? Kids who are always active . . . often cutting up . . . How about COYOTE CAPERS? lt seems to fit! TO CAPER means to frisk, romp, frolic. And that we did! We gam- boled with abandon in the Follies, the plays, at assemblies. We romped at games, and we had fun, no foolin', in classes . . . YES, WE'VE enjoyed our 1952-53 in every way. and to everyone at Phoenix Union, students, faculty, everybody . . . we dedicate this book. It is a symbol of friendship, it is a book of memories.

Our Pep . . .We've Got It . . . Won't Lose lt! WAS IT REFLECTION OF the sun or just the Coyotes' naturally bright faces? Eftervescence marked Phoenix Union students . . . and it bub- bled over into all kinds of Coyote Capers. Sep- tember's heat didn't dim our pep at football games. With cool November came the Turkey Game where we dulled our teeth on tough Hoss meat but noth- ing dampened our spirits! ALL YEAR LONG we lined up dates, tried to choose between this dance and that game coming the same night. We had variety, too: follies, tourna- ments, concerts, house parties, desert picnics, stag or drag events .... WE DRESSED up for Midnight and Roses, donned Western duds for Rodeo Week, kicked off our shoes for Ditch Day. We sang quietly at Yuletide, whooped at basketball games, orated eloquently tor speech contests. We worked on publications, wrote and painted for Scholastic awards, battled for athletic trophies . . . WHOOPING it up for Color Day are these prize winners for the best costumes, Junior Jones and Betty Hoover. HERE THEY COME! Over 3300 Coyotes head for the bleachers and the year's first pep rally. When our howling Coyotes get back of a team, spirit stays high, win or lose. xi i A M.. 6 4' 4 as . 1 1 5 , ' stink 5 V4 V Q- - , . an I Q .I 1 ,Q sg Z.. -rg A is A ,nn W M xi X 51111 1 'fvwiixs u' X ysggggsb Iggy . .V sim s v X yu .Nw :gf 4.

Montgomery Administrators TWENTY-EIGHT years of progressive service as superintendent of Phoenix Union High Schools have distinguished Dr. E. W. Montgomery as a foremost educator. He and the Board of Edu- cation have skilltully handled the double problem of administrating an expanding educational system and ius- tifying the expenditure to meet the schools' needs. Service With Distinction . . . MEMBERS OF THE school board devote much of their valuable time toward meeting the problems of Phoenix High Schools ably and wisely. This year the Board not only has dealt with the existing schools, but also has planned for two new schools soon to be established. Their interest is keynoted by the best interests ofthe community. Members ifrom Ieftl re Dr Norman A. Ross, Mrs. F. A. Boris, Frank Haze Burch, Jay Hyde and Dr Trevor G. Browne, president. A Ready Smile Awaits You . . . A FRIENDLY smile is sure to greet each student who enters the PrinCipal's Office. Mr. Carter is glad to take time out from his many administrative duties to talk with Phoenix Union's students and teachers. His fine record as principal of Arizona's largest high school has distinguished him as one of the state's outstanding educators. NEW COURSES and teaching methods are a con- stant source of industry and interest to our principal. He has headed an extensive modernization and re- modeling program culminating in a completely new interior for the First Building. THEY KEEP The School Running.

YEARS OF PATIENT practice have made the Bookstore staff expert in managing Phoenix Union's money problems. Headed by Carl Allen, school accountant, the workers keep ac- curate accounts of all our assets and liabilities, They know just when we should cut down on our expenditures or when we have enough money to give another party or picnic. ALL SCHOOL organizations--clubs, publications, athletics and the rest-have their funds handled at the Business Office. Also, students get bargains on everything from erasers and second hand books to graduation announcements at the Bookstore. BOOKS KEEP the office staff busy, Left: Violet Harding marks and Phyllis Vogeli start moving books to the newly-remodeled prices in English readers.

A difficult transition, perhaps, if it were done with- out the help of Student Government. A name and a few officers? Not at Phoenix Union. Everyone gets a chance to be a part of Student Government through Student Council and all kinds of elections-student body, League and Federation, class, and council. EVERY STUDENT felt the responsibility of an adult citizen when ballots came his way. Each could voice his opinion through a representative in Student Council, or protest leg- islation through the same source. THERE WAS THE Board of Control, which gave the officers an opportunity to get at the administrative end of government. lt was a sounding-off board for students who wished to protest demerits. lt was the executive body of Student Council. BUT STUDENT GOVERNMENT wouldn't have succeeded if the student body hadn't co-operated. lt was through your interest that the leaders knew what was needed and wanted. lt was through you, the loyal Coyote, the Student Government became A a working reality instead of an ideal. ' gf 4 Government what it is-a help and an honor to the school. We'lI keep it that way by showing interest, taking part, being real Coyotes! 1 as 1 4 ,U , x U O 4-4 .i O N l, .5'9t 7i4l ALL THESE amalgamated things make the Student t Q .

This year the school went all out to support national, state, and city-wide drives. Led by Shirley Phillips, Student Council's service chairman, everyone gave all he could to what ever drive was being pushed. First was the Crusade for Freedom. We went right over our goal. Then the Save The Children Cam- paign came along, and usable clothing poured in. Sweet Charity We're For It! PACKING the clothing for the Save The Children Drive are Dong, Walker, and Martino. In background are Marshall and Robins. For Red Feather we gave not only as individuals but also as groups. AT CHRISTMAS over 20 homerooms gave baskets to needy families. The Girls' Letter Club, Florence Nightingale Club, Senior Council, Sophomore Coun- cil, and Friendship Club also had Christmas pro- jects. In February we raised S300 for the March of Dimes, and the Tri-Y Teens collected magazines for the State Hospital. Later in the year we sent books to the prison at Florence. CHRISTMAS BASKETS donated by our students made many a poor family very happy. Left: Sorenson, Orcutt, Doss, Cognasi, and Hurler load a truck with the boxes. Right: Making sure that the right families get the right boxes are Reder, Blankenship, Corbin, and Henkins. U81 Girls' eague Keeps Busy THOSE OLD piano roll blues! Girls' League offi- cers having fun from left are Jean Lee, treas urerg Sonya DeGraw, secretary, Aileen Pace, vice-president, and Margaret Blankenship, pres- ident. WHAT DOES A GIRL consider fun? You don't Know? Then you should participate in some Girls' League activities. Approximately 200 girls consider it a source of great pleasure to work on their class councils while the other l5OO girls enjoy participat- ing in every activity. CENTRAL COUNCIL consists of eight department heads and four council officers. The League gives each girl the chance to participate by sponsoring an activity suited to every taste. THIS CENTRAL Council governs the Girls' League. Seated from left are Seolas, Gilliland, Hatch, Kulinovich, Lee, DeGraw, Blankenship, Pace, Funston, Nakagawa, McGee, and Torres. AMONG THESE are Midnght and Roses, Every Girl's Dinner, Sweetheart Ball, the Mother-Daugh- ter Tea, Follies, the Maid ot Cotton Fashion Show, the Senior Style show, and participation in three state conventions and the Southern California-Arh zona meet in the autumn. SUCCESS OF THE League should be measured not by its activities but by the leadership it has de- veloped. The organization stacks up with any other having lasting qualities. Standing are Tussey, Martin, Altschul, Adamson, Ford, Evans, Johnson, Phillips, White, Prather, Pappas, Blanchard, Sharkey, Chavez, Miss Mateer, and Wilson. im Boys' Federation FEDERATION officers meet to discuss plans for the second all-school follies.

They're Traditionally On The Ball THAT OLD SAYING, Jacks of all trades, masters of none becomes masters of all when it refers to Phoenix Union's Boys' Federation. This year they proved that boys can be just as active-well nearly as active-as are girls. Under the guidance of a new dean, R. E. McCullar, they promoted drives at Christmas and Easter, patroled the Cafeteria, and put up posters for a major portion of all school events. They were always ready to serve , . .

BEST OF ALL, however, is the feeling of belong- ing these boys extend to every newcomer. Fulton, and Quintana. Seated are Mitchell. Sorenson, Duffy, Etz, Sutter, Mr. McCullar, and Kenny. Our Friends The PTA . . . ALTHOUGH PTA means Parents-Teachers' Associa- tion, progress, trust, and action would tit the letters equally well. Mrs. Henry Harmon led the group through a busy year of drives, parties, and open houses. This year their theme for the year was Know Your School and the members did all they could to make sure that everyone did just that. INSTEAD OF having one general open house, there were many, they opened the buildings one at a time, enabling parents to meet and spend more time with individual teachers. PTA SPONSORS the health program, scholarships, student services, recreation, juvenile protection, legislation projects, and also the Parent Education classes whose theme this year was, How Much Freedom Does A High School Student Need? OFFICERS were Mrs. Harmon, president, Mrs. E. G. Tussey, vice-president, Mrs. John Neal, second vice- president, Mrs. Ross K. Shaw, recording secretary, Mrs. Walter Heart, corresponding secretary, Mrs. Roy Harrington, treasurer, Mr. J. J. Wagoner, audi- tor, and Mrs. F. E. Brown, parliamentarian. llFllBf35'l'P iP.IA S ,ii .

SCHOOL DAYS become broom days it you're talking about Phoenix Union's standbys. Long after the students and faculty leave the campus, these hard working men and women remain to clean up after us. They cook, sweep, they dust erasers, they polish, they wash windows, and yet they love it, Why not? they'll ask you. Plenty of people would give a lot to remain in high school all their lifel Tl-lEY'LL TELL you they've seen many kids graduate from Phoenix Union and it really pleases them to see youngsters advancing in the world. Yes, these behind the scene workers teel as much a part of the school as anyone else does, and they shouldl GOOD FOOD is the keynote of these pictures.

MAYBE THE BOARDS ot the Ancient Mariner's ship buckled, but nothing in our newly remodeled Administration Building will deterio- rate in the same manner. The building has now the utmost in modern facilities, The Health Center will not be out ot date tor years to come. The offices are now built tor serv- ice and convenience and not for show. Everything from the tiles on the basement tloor to the ceiling ot the second floor have all been taken care of . . . ALTHOUGH THEY aren't bragging, these teachers tried to imitate our Pom-Pon girls at the faculty party, Their grace and precision had fellow faculty members rolling in the aisles. Top Row: Lucille Cameron and Bonnie Emmerling. Middle Row: Keats Kelly, Mary Louise Branigan, and Anne Arnold. Bottom trio are Janet Daou, Carolyn Lane, and Roberta Stevenson. Believe it or not, the faculty crowd does know how to cut a few capers . . .l Teachers Pets? No! They're Teachers! Faculty At Play . COYOTE CAPERS are for faculty tool Once they get away from the humdrum of class routines, our sometimes stern-visaged teachers relax. . .let down their hair, and enjoy life. . .almost as if they were youngsters! Seriously, everybody knows the value of funfests, and teachers are no exception. Scene above shows the faculty in a name game during a Halloween party at the Cafeteria. XV7 SUCH PARTIES ARE IMPORTANT in other ways. ln a school employing over 130 instructors, it is possible for our teachers to be strangers with 45 one another. The brief introduction newcomers receive at the opening of school requires follow-ups at social functions if the teachers are to become acquainted. In fact, some of our younger pedagogues are taken for students by the old timers! But not for long . . . with the teachers' Social Committee on the job. x , Faculty . . . H. H.

Willson English James Hays Visual Aids Ralph Ogle Mathematics Military Training History V EVERY PERSON has within himself the qualities of a true artist. Trouble is that many of us take a lifetime to discover what was latent, One of the chief purposes of the Art Department is to awaken that feeling for artistic beauty in students. BRIGHT COLORS, rhythmic tones in varied designsg perception, balance, and understanding of good photography . . . those are a few highlights among the many awaiting interested students. Tradition- ally, art students take a generous share of prizes in annual contests. MATHEMATICS TEACHERS are supposed to be Mathematics Masters .

The truth of course, is that the perplexing problems, rather than the teachers, have sent dread into the quaking hearts of the beginning students in alge- bra, geometry, and the like. MATH PROBLEMS today are no easier, but more interesting methods for solving them are now in use. For mathematics holds the key to the Atomic Age . . . which we are now enjoying. Interest in modern developments makes math an exciting adventure for many. Kathryn Munson, Harry Phillips, Gladys Hoelzle, Lee S. Far- ringer, Bessie Breckerbaumer, and Mary Freitas.

Our Music Department is well staffed to inspire stu- dents with a love for the classics and a thoughtful evaluation of all other types of music. NO FUDDY-DUDDIES are theyl lt never fails to surprise young Coyotes that teachers so well versed in fine arts can get a real kick out of popular music.

From Iefi: Ruth McNeill, Mary Louise Branigan, Berneil Maxey, and Elizabeth Blake. Their Work ls Play . . . RANKED HIGH on the list of important activities in high school is the physical education program. Here students learn to play the game . . . fairly, skilfully, and energetically. Not only do they learn sportsmanship but they build strong bodies and form health habits that can well mean longer and happier lives after they leave school.

Yes, that's Don Coyote in the chemistry laboratory. He's participating in the electronic and scientific age. All he has to do to enjoy such fun is register for one of the numerous science courses!

' time we set foot into a store it involves a mathematical calculation. More and more colleges are now requir- ing students to have at least a year of higher mathe- matics for entrance. ACCORDING to Mr. L. S. Farringer, mathematics is essential to our everyday living, so it's not strange that more students are taking math courses in this highly scientific Atomic Age. Thanks to our highly efficient Math Department under the supervision of Mr, I-larry Phil- lips, we can expect to have our share of brilliant mathematicians in the future. Craftsmen . .

IN GENERAL shop students are offered one term of work in each of six different shops. Here they can make a choice for further study.

Here you can take any Course from beginning typing to commercial math. Every student has a chance to learn how to operate the various office machines he will later use. FUTURE SECRETARIES can practice in that capacity under the various department heads. Practice makes perfect and experience is the best teacher!

And Friendship TODAY, WITH OUR increasingly important poli- tical role in the world, it is imperative that students know and understand more about the people with whom they must work. Nothing insures this more than practical knowledge of other languages and civilizations. Phoenix Union's Foreign Language Department gives its students ample opportunity to gain this knowledge by offering Spanish, Latin, and French. BASIC PRINCIPLES of the language are used as fundamentals while drill and homework are used to give a deeper understanding of people in other lands. This is the main object of the courses because through them evolves communication, thence understanding. In no better way can we formulate constructive activities to serve as a basis for international friendships. TRAVEL TALKS, movies, and extensive reading are fair substitutes for actual visits to the foreign lands they study. But this much is certain: with the world growing smaller each day, because of jet planes and speedier ships, all of us will visit these people we have studied about.

Stu- dents not only learn, but also see many amusing incidents that are a continual conversation topic. IN PREPARATION for Marriage Course, outside speakers are often on the agenda.

Whatever your interest, there's a way to develop your artistic urge, with skilled teachers to guide you. All art in this yearbook is student work.

Pretty Clothes WHAT WAS NEW and chic in winter clothes dom- inated the annual Senior Council Fashion Show presented on Oct. 28. Carolyn Refsnes was in charge of the event. Although the senior models were all beautiful, many of the boys will tell you that the clothes they wore took attention away from the girls. THE SHOW was presented in three sections: sport wear, date wear, and formals. All of the ensembles were donated by Korricks' Department Store. Kathy GIVING Kathy Godfrey descriptions of the various fashions Senior Council presented are Beverly Jacobs and Gin- ger Johnson. Godfrey, local TV artist, acted as moderator for the affair. GROOMING and fashion tips were also offered by the hard working seniors. Boys' Federation members also helped to make this event a success by ushering, putting up posters, and doing all the little jobs that needed doing, and when the show was finally pre- sented, it was evident that at least one-third of the audience was composed of members of the male sex. Yes Senior Council did a grand job! FASHIONABLE: These girls were all models in the show. Here they show some of the best liked outfits. From left are Cora Carlise, Lela Burris, Sallie Warren, and Judy Meroney. l7OJ fr Class of '54 JUNIOR OFFICERS meet to prepare inaguration speeches.

They proved capable, and activities galore crowded their busy schedule-the Prorn and the first All-School Play, Alice-in-Won- derland , . . Junior Council's mystic Crystal Ball. JUNIORS PROFITED when they sold miniature pompons. Left, Jordan gets pinned by Thonen as Hughes does the same to THE MONTHS WERE marked by hours of buzzing activity, and the juniors threw themselves into the heat ot election campaigning.

Nobody Out- Yelled Those Sophs! WISE FOOLS, THEY'RE called, but sophomores are more wise than they are foolish . . . This year's sophomore class, energetic and rarin' to go, sup- ported the athletic teams like nobody's business. They ridiculed the freshmen for their typically frosh enthusiasm, then proceeded to out-cheer and out-yell all other classes A STEP HIGHER on the ladder, they could act as high and mighty as an upperclassman, or regress to the freshman stage of laughter and merriment. Nothing could stop these fun-loving kids. SOPHOMORES KEPT busy throughout the year. Left: Espinoza, Sunshine, and Crabtree make decorations for the sophomore 51 THERE WAS A SERIOUS side to this class, too. The Red Feather drive was pushed ahead by the tre- mendous success of the sophomore sponsored cup- cake drive. Sophomore Council took an active part in Girls' League, and laid out preliminary plans for next year's activities, No subject seemed too tough, every dance, game, or picnic to come along was best yet. How could such Capering Coyotes fail to enjoy life? THESE ARE THE sophomores -yesterday's fresh- men, tomorrow's juniors, and a wonderful bunch. co-ed party.

They are Don Kenney, vice-president, Marie Gassler, secretary, Dean Hume, president, and Jackie Harmon, treasurer. THEY MAY HAVE COME into Phoenix Union as scared little freshmen, wary of the worldy and aloof upperclassmen. It wasn't long before they got into the whirl of high school activities, though. They attacked the mazes of algebra and Latin with diligence, meanwhile enjoying school funfests. Ardent supporters of the athletic teams, they also joined clubs and went to the dances, That lost look dropped away and became the found look as the year progressed. THEY BELONGED, that was sure, and they made the rest of the school know they were here. The Class of '56 highlight was a dandy co-ed party. THESE FRESHMEN really enjoyed themselves. Left: David Chavez helps tiny Judy Henson take her books out of her locker. Right: Freshman Cooncil members Karen Meeker and Betty Broderson feed a pickle to Junior Troy Combs. ,-f- mg t9ll Class of '56 Yea, Frosh! VISUAL AIDE: While Barbara Batea man, right, expounds profoundly on the purpose of film, her orientation classmates look amused. From left they are Louise Langler, Sandra Mat- lock, Joyce Howard, Blanche Yanez, and Betty Carpenter. MANY PROBLEMS loom large for Th G teenagers- especially if they are be- ginning students in an overwhelmingly large high school. Older students tend to be condescending, or downright superior, teachers, busy with large classes and overwork, may seem too abrupt or disinterested . . - But with orientation comes growth. Understand- ing, self-confidence, and a enuine likin f th h I g g or e sc oo and its program are rewards which each freshman finally receives. FAR FROM BEING the wandering whatsits of the campus, our frosh soon learn the ropes and often lead discussions in class that might do credit to the lofty seniors. School . . . I it's wonderful.

Silver-Year Follies MUSIC IN ALL FORMS and varieties was the object of this year's Follies. Themed, Record Album, the show was presented by Director Lois S. Halladay in a manner well fitted to meet every taste. Throughout the presentation, a giant spinning rec- ord, set in motion by Barbara You-all Robins, the star, gave the show a touch of authenticity. THIS WAS THE second ot the combined boys' and girls' shows--but it was also the 25th anniversary ot the Follies. Each year they had improved in scenery, plot, and style, until this year the comments seemed too good to be true. ALTHOUGH SHE'D tell you most ot the credit should go to the hard-working kids who participated, Director Halladay again proved herself to be a master at pleasing the public. The audience ap- plauded trom the opening by the Concert Band to the closing with the A Cappella. Twelve directors and 5OO students took part . . . yes, it was quite a Show, and we played it to the hiltl THE BOYS had just as much fun as the girls in the co-ed show.

Probably most unusual features of the event were the novelty dances. Six in number they ranged from eccentric comedy routines to serious chorus lines doing a ballet. Then too, Della Martin, Phoenix Gazette columnist, recorded an act while Sarah Bearman, a sophomore, mouthed the words. AS IF THESE ITEMS weren't enough, giant crowns descended from above, department store statues came to life, and a girl performer was used in a trampoline act for the first time in Follies history, What a show!

Bottom Row: Barbara Robins, Judy Meroney, and Lela Burris. I TO BE CHOSEN one of the top four Salad Bowl princesses is quite an S honor when you consider that 44 candidates entered from all over the state. Well, Phoenix Union's candidate, Bridget Brady, did that. Along with girls from West High, North High, and Cottonwood, she placed among the top four. Phoen Union also helped to make the yearly benefit a success by having its band play in the parade and helping to build a float sponsored by all the city schools-the first time that such a co-operative effort was attempted. Our students really capered through this show. X K sh ' s ssisfsr - f N. ssssc we i igftiis - ' 35' s sw N f . 4- - -v:f:,,:s 352: ag. : Q - -1 SA 5,6 ,.Q. X, , In My i Dj , X.

Christ- mas . . . the season when one rejoices in a new or continued faith. Christmas . . . the season of joy, merriment, and fun for all. Phoenix Union lived it to the fullest extent. Twenty homerooms went overboard to donate baskets to needy fam- ilies. Nearly every club in school had some sort of a Christmas project-whether decorating a ward at a children's hospital or giving a faculty tea. YES, THIS was the time when the Oratorio Society again presented its annual assembly and again thrilled listeners with the music that filled the auditorium. It became the season of parties, carol- ing, laughter, and perhaps a touch of sadness. To a few, it was merely two glorious weeks of vaca- tion, Christmas meant a lot of different things to different people, but they all appreciated it. If KISS MISS SPIRIT! Making use of an age-old custom are Tom Council, Lidia Avila, and Wayne Mullins. MILTON RASBURY directs the Oratorio Society in its Christmas program. Glamorous pine trees, sparkling lights, and choral music got us in the Yuletide mood. 1037 wwf A gQ 5 .1 ,- ' D Work can be fun prove Finley, Hurler, and Warren as they Holldays' decorate the trees for the annual Christmas assembly.

Under the direction of Willard S. Jacquot, our student thespians laughingly-but quite successfully- transformed themselves into such unforgettable characters as the March Hare, Mad Hatter, and Humpty Dumpty. A SPECIAL children's matinee-presented for the first time-brought an unequaled enthusiastic audi- ence as Alice involved herself in various predica- ments including her shrinking, arrest by the Queen of Hearts, and her hopeless arguments with the Mad l-latter. Alice was not easy to produce- but cast and crew found their labor marked by the fun and excitement which keeps dramatics such a popular activity. U06 sa . K... .

Their Succ ss Was Three-Folcl AN INNOVATION highlighted the Senior Class Playl Reminiscent of W. Somerset Maugham's Trio , three one-act plays presented as the senior production by Willard S. Jacquot and Chauncey Shepard were met with great success. Jinxed was a laughable tale of a confused and complaining waiter who is confronted with a Claims Adjuster from Heaven. How he learned to stop complain- ing gave the audience laughs galore. THE OTHER COMEDY, Sunday Costs Five Pesos , dealt with a fine for fighting on Sunday, a love-sick young man who carved doors, and a tight between two angry senoritas. Each hilarious moment held the audience until the end, and many a chuckle was heard after the final curtain. IN THE ZONE , the third and most dramatic ot the trio, was the story of a group of sailors on a British munitions ship in World War I. Smitty's cabinmates suspected him of being a spy and of plotting to blow up the ship. When they took steps to discover what they thought was his dark secret, they ended up not in a spy plot but in some- thing more tragic. THIS PLAY was again presented in the Valley Speech Festival and in an assembly. The seniors might well be proud of their three class produc- tions . . . they were perhaps the most unusual and best received of all school shows. Hard work and an extra amount of patience again paid Ott for the drama classes.

From then on until the end of the year mern- bers enjoyed themselves thoroughly. SOMETIMES THE GROUP sponsored parties that were open to the general public. The students either brought their own skates or rented them at the rink. Messrs. Harold Martin and Kenneth Beals were sponsors for the organization. Officers were LeRoyce l-lcnter, presidentg Carlos Sebastian, vice- president: and Jack Jordan, secretary. i 1 X VISUAL AIDS operators are Row I: Hansen, Keith, Walker, Mr. Bowman, Braatelian, Truitt, Ripplinger, and Henderson, Row 4 Hays, and Shaw.

Led by President Joe Egger, and Sponsor Hays, the group sponsored a full-length movie, Francis Goes To The Races. Pro- ceeds went to the student activity fund. THE COSMOPOLITAN CLLJBBERS were year-long armchair travelers. Through movies, speakers, discussions, and debates, students learned how people in other countries acted and thought.

Junior Hi-Y ONE OF THE HAPPIEST groups this year was the Masque and Gavel Society. A branch of a national organization, this group abides by standards set for the whole country. To be eligible for membership, a student must have credits in speech or dramatics. Once in, the main idea is to have fun while learn- ing. Between organizing and rehearsing plays, members found time to study fundamentals in act- ing. THIS YEAR'S Masque and Gavel play was Thornton Wilder's Happy Journey. Officers were Doug McGrath, president, Barbara Robins, vice-president, and Roberta Altschul, secretary. Sponsors for this gay group were Lois S. Halladay and Willard S. Jacquot. Hl-Y CLUBS GOT off to a head start this year with the forming of another branch group, the Hi-Y Coyotes. Composed of freshmen and sophomores, this gave underclassmen the same chance as the Hi-Y juniors and seniors. Every party or dance they sponsored was a financial success. FIRST EVENT was a members-only Halloween party. Their Governor's Ball for the state Hi-Y Model Legislature was first dance of its kind. They had co-ed swim parties also with Tri-Y groups.

At any rate, members could get an over-all picture of the campus- MISS RUTH CRElGHTON'S Bowling Belles came through the year with flying colors, many of them placing in national contests.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE Club has accomplished much for themselves and the community. They participated especially in health activities. When the hospitals held open house and gave tests to nurses, PUHS girls were first at the door. AS CHRISTMAS rolled around and the members decided they needed a charity project, they went to St. Joseph's Hospital and decorated the children's ward. Then too, they worked on nationwide nurse recruitment drives. They had a very active year. NO PARKING For Chewing Gum became the battle cry ofthe Student Health Committee, Empha- sis was on keeping gum out ot the drinking toun- tains. Although the posters kept the gum out of the fountains, it sure didn't keep it oft the posters the committee so carefully put up.

' ' ' , THE ARTISTIC TYPING Club under the sponsorship of Mr. Mason has proved to be one of the most dif- ferent and interesting clubs in school. Members who come to meetings to work really turn out some artistic creations. Designs range from the simplest patterns to the most intricate and difficult. Some of them were entered in contests, others were simply kept for personal benefit. Sara Atwell was president of this active group open to any student of typing. ARTISTIC TYPERS are they.

Coyotes, Head Coach Wendell Patterson and Assistant Bill Saunders had their work cut out for them. Only five lettermen returned. Injuries and colds plagued the Pack all season with key players missing from about every game, The outstand- ing play of Sophomore Joe Duffy, Guard Karl Brown, and Center Jim Borden brought back memories of former Phoenix Union greats.

Our Freshman teams have played 27 games, lost only three and tied two in the last three years, but this is the first undefeated, untied season since I94I.

AGGRESSIVE PLAY earned Phoenix LJnion's cagers the title of the hustling Coyotes from the sports experts. Opening the season with a squad of mostly inexperienced boys Coach Bob Ruman built a team respected by the state's top quints. The Pack, de- spite their poor record, drew big crowds of sup- porters as they threatened to upset and several times did upset Class A powerhouses. TED GLASS PACED the Coyotes' early season at- tack and finished the year with an average of lO.3 points per game. Later in the season Guard Joey Nunez found the range and began to spearhead the Pack's offense. Nunez scored l9l for Phoenix Union and a game average of lO.6- l-le was named to All-City and Class A Tournament second teams. THE COYOTES PULLED the upset of the year when they knocked off league-leading West Phoenix late in the season to cinch themselves a place in the Class A tourney. Floyd Wolff was also a great help to the Coyote basketballers. Richard Whitey Berlemann steadied Union's floor play and kept the Coyotes in the game with his long set shots. VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM.

The Mustangs proved too much for the Pack for the third time this season and Don Coyote fell 57-50. OUTLOOK FOR NEXT year is very bright with such players as Berlemann, Carver, Nunez, Lindernulder, Floyd Wolff, and Bobby Manning returning.

The Union Pups started the season by 38-35 victory over Tech. The scores were gen- erally close, whether the Poenix cagers won or lost. MESA'S BUNNIES had a jinx over Long's Pups.

Hitting was good and defensive work poor. But team spirit was to help. MID-SEASON saw Coach Martin Pug Marich's boys start to hit top form as they brought their percentage up to an even .500. Leading the Pack was left-handed twirler Bob Glo- ver, who accounted for most of Don Coyote's wins and seldom allowed an earned run to cross the plate. Backing up Glover and assisting with the mound chores was Ralph Cald- well, another lefty. Next year, it'll be another story, with many lettermen and talented lads from the JV returning.

STARTING THE YEAR with only three returning lettermen, Coach Steve Carson built a team that rated as one of the best in the state.

They were replaced by two strong freshmen from the JV's, Alan McGee and Frank Lyles. The two that bid for first and second place on the team were Ronald Wright and Billy Patterson with Jim Upshaw running a close third. THE JUNIOR VARSITY team had an outstanding season, being defeated only once by the strong Mesa Bunnies. Chief advantage of tennis over many other sports is that skill and practice are more closely related. Mr. Ben Jordan is coach.

Following that theme, the 22nd annual Masque of the Yellow Moon arose to awe thousands of Phoenicians and Valley visitors, Direc- ted by Mrs. Cordelia M. Perkins, the magnificent pageant lived up to its reputation for grandeur and color. PHOENIX UNION presented two numbers, the Legend and an Indian sun dance, complete with rhythmic precision and color, Our band and military unit joined the other school groups for the grand finale of music and fireworks. ONE CHANGE was evident: a huge artificial moon came up during West High's dance number to add glamour to the scene and compete with the real moon. Oren Arnold, Phoenix author, wrote the script. As usual, the audience reported Won- derful! Unbelievable! Best yet! STAR PATTERN: Phoenix Union girls perform in the Valley of the Sun.
