Little wonder that our visitors become permanent residents! THAT' HOW Lil Dudette came to live here. Typical ot many who come temporarily to Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun, she discarded her Eastern customs, bought herself a cowgirl outtit, and became a tried and true Phoenician!

Levis and squaw dresses are nothing new to Coyote dudes and dudettes. Only the girls are dressed unusually for school. Boys dress Western rnost ot the tirne. HOD At The Helm DYNAMIC principal of Phoenix Union High School is James S. Carter. He will head the new Polytechnical High next fall. POINTING THE WAY into a difficult future is a responsibility our school administrators accept with assurance born of many years' experience. At the head of one of America's larg- est and most progressive high schools, they keep alert to the school's needs, guiding the students and faculty into paths of progress, ONE OF THE ABLEST of administrators is Principal Carter. His youthful enthusiasm and intense interest in the students have reflected much praise on Phoenix Union. His ideas and executive talents will mean much to the success of our new technical high school next fall. Of equally high caliber are Assistant Principal Gates and Deans lscah Mateer and McCullar. LEADERS in Phoenix Union's progress are Assistant Principal William Gates, Dean lscah Mateer, and Dean Earl McCullar .wtf I ,.., 4 e:.g.::,:::-.3 -,,-.,. il - AA :E-En:-:AQ I W ',., ,.4.-QQ: Q . ll 1 :2 4.

Dean McCullar hands another item to Secretary Louise Arthur, who also supervises in the Lost and Found Department, They Keep Wheels Moving ALWAYS ON Tl-lE MOVE, Phoenix Union's office workers, busy and many times unnoticed, have earned a reputation for accuracy and efficiency. lf you've ever lost something on cam- pus, you know what a relief it is to have smiling Mrs. Arthur round it up for you. ln charge of the Lost and Found Department, she stores glasses, books' and coats for us lost souls. She also serves as dean's secretary. MRS. DEARING and Miss Pretzer carry the brunt of the work in the Principal's Office, including taking care of the switchboard and the post office work. Never idle when there's a job to be done, they can be counted on at all times to keep the wheels in motion - including that big master clock which controls the bells here! lT'S TIME to start the bell-system for the special assembly schedule, decide Secretaries Nadine Dearing and Betty Pretzer. They are shown here regu- lating the master clock in the Princi- pal's Office. 3 U27 Acl 'n stration SUPT. HAROLD l.. Gear has demonstrated outstanding ability as head of the ever-growing Phoenix Union High School System. ' ALWAYS MEETING new problems and situa- tions squarely, our Board of Education calls upon its confidence and experience to do an outstanding job of directing the fortunes of Phoenix High Schools and Phoenix College. WITH THE COMBINING of Phoenix Tech and Phoenix Union next year, the Board will be faced with even more responsibilities and problems. Growing schools and over-crowded dis- tricts, along with a growing state, have added to the many perplexities. Our Board has served us' well. We have every confidence in their foresight and judgment. BOARD OF EDUCATION: Dr, Trevor G. Browne, Jay Hyde, Mrs. F. A. Boris, Dr. Charles S. Purtymun Jr., Frank Haze Burch HEALTH Committee members gather to plan milk campaign. Seated are Williams, Hospodka, Fung, Mrs. Banker, Rose, Gaither, Emery. STAND- ING: Kenney, Lavas, Phasnas, Owen, Ghee, Spotts. SEEKING BETTER methods and means of health in- H struction to students keeps the Health Committee busy most of the year. This group, founded on the solid principle that health means wealth, has been very suc- cessful in its anti-colds, better-foods, and be-careful campaigns. A highlight of its nutrition program was the annual Drink More Milk drive during which thousands of Coyotes sam- pled the healthful liquid and promised to drink more of it more often. WHEN STUDENTS are hurt, or grow suddenly ill, they are given prompt care at the Health Center. One of the Center's major campaigns resulted in a complete medical referral card on each student so that the family doctor can be notified immediately should the need arise. Health and safety units are located in each building, also, with the Health Center in charge. A co-operative system provides instant attention in an emergency. HEALTHY FACULTY! Here is proof that teachers are not old, stiff, and too tired to kick up their heels when given the chance. They're dancing at the Faculty Stampede held at Bud Brown's Barn. Messrs. Powell and Patterson are at right. LINE UP, DUDESY While Bookstore Clerks Violet Harding and expected rush.

And if there's a sports event, school play, or club party pending, ask at the Bookstore and you'll get all the right answers. lN ADDITION to the beautiful new trophy case now standing in the Bookstore, Mr. Allen has another attraction: a series of large, attractively mounted photos of school leaders, pre- pared at his request by the Phoenician cameramen and the Photo Arts Department. YUMMMM! Chef Von Blomberg tests the roast beef for tomorrow's lunch, while Mrs. Kennedy approves, She knows faculty and students will relish this feast! Mmm! Sure Good Grub! ANY OL' COWHAND would be proud to declare our Cafeteria the bestest for the leastest money. Man, do we eatl And come back for more and more. There's good reason, tool Variety, excellence and low prices were featured in the Cafeteria H as well as attractive surroundings, com- parative quiet, and efficiency. Mrs. Ber- nice Kennedy, school dietician, and her staff worked diligently to provide the best of service. The Cafeteria also served deli- cious dinners for numerous school affairs. SOME OF Tl-llS year's highlights at the Cafeteria were the Mother and Daughter Tea, Football Banquet, PTA Dinner, Girls' League Fashion Show and Open l-louse. AFTER DINNER relaxation includes reading the latest Coyote sells Journals while student in foreground digs into his repast Journal in the Cafeteria. ln background a lil dudette, Benna Wallis, Cafeteria's mural lends Western tone to picture. ll6l RODEO TIME finds the Registrar's Office personnel all dressed up solves every difficult situation. FROM LEFT are pictured Edna to welcome the levi-clad buckeroos who daily storm the windows Baker, Ann Gupton, Mildred Overton, Gail Larson Jeannette with all sorts of problems. But the quiet efficiency of these ladies Armstrong, and Helen Thomas, ager Lines Keep Forming THERE MUST BE an endless escalator moving these students up to the Registrar's Office window. Or so the busy and often-harried workers must believe. The huge crowds begin almost before the opening day of school and seem to continue until the day after gradu- ation in June. WHAT BRINGS these teeming teeners to the R, O. windows? Nothing much, the youthful dudes will tell you. Nothing much except: tardy and absence excuses, mixed up schedules, changed courses, drop notices, entrance applications, weird requests for new courses. Or they've forgotten their schedule or locker number, or this class is too hard, that one unsuit- able. Or, would you send my transcript to another school, since I'm planning to leave here? Not all of the requests are granted, and a good many are beyond sound reason. But for the most part, students and counselors strike a happy medium that makes for smooth operation of a big school. Our Scl1ool's Best Friends SIGNING UP for PTA member- ship is a most important func- tion, agree Mesdames Kirk, lberri, and Tussey, as they wel- come a Coyote dad into the organization at the annual Parent-Teacher Dinner in the Cafeteria. WHAT THE SCHOOL means to the community can be a number of things, but the Parent- Teacher Association, forming a most valuable link between the school and the townspeople, does a good job of selling Phoenix Uniori's aims and achievements' to the taxpayers. Best friends of the school, the PTA leaders help with health campaigns, charity drives, and Open House events. They help needy students with books and clothing, and extend a courtesy to the graduating seniors in the form of a formal dance Graduation Night. WHEN THE MEMBERSHIP drive failed to produce enough revenue for PTA projects, they called on the teachers for help. The Faculty Vaudeville, Why Does A Fireman Wear Red Suspenders? netted over S400 - and the important work of our PTA went on. REPORT TO PARENTS is given by Principal Carter, who outlines High School. Parents and teachers were gathered in Cafeteria for some of the plans for Phoenix Union and next year's Polytechnical the annual PTA Dinner and Membership Drive. Open House . . .

Student Body President Joe Duffy sports his Western tie with nonchalant ease. l-lis ready grin is familiar to all Coyote students. ONE AIM GUIDED our student body officers this year' to maintain the highest stand d . al' S for our school. Like the true Westerners they are, they faced problems squarely, made friends readily, and stood ready to serve the student body always. Charity drives, pep ral- lies, health compaigns, and other worthwhile endeavors had their hearty support, Lil Dudette was mighty proud of her student leaders OL' RANCHER Tom Hulen would be right at home on the range.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT for, by, and of the students works well at Phoenix Union. With every homeroom group repre- sented, Student Council meets at stated periods to decide issues, propose measures, and carry back to the students any sugges- tions or official actions taken by the Council. Such varied problems as conduct at grid games, what to wear at school dances, and what to do about a dirty campus received prompt and efficient attention this year. BOARD OF CONTROL managed to keep our wild ones in a tamed condition, rendering just decisions, suspending a few Coyotes who seemed to require stern treatment, and encour- aging others to abide by the rules established by the student body government. WHO'S FOR A PARTY? President Duffy poses the question and the Student Council votes an enthusiastic affirmative for a picnic at Encanto Park, Council meets in Auditorium during third period to legislate student bcdy program.

Every male Coyote profited from the Federations' plans and services. No fellow with a de- sire to contribute to the school's betterment was ignored. The Federation treasury went on a diet when the All-School Follies was canceled. But the boys put on a Fashion Show with the Girls' League , . . and got out of the red, financially. Boys' Federation OTHER FEDERATION projects included co-sponsorship of the annual Frontier Dance, spear- heading a campus-cleanup, and maintaining order in the lunch lines at the Cafeteria. The Federation also helped finance lunches, books and clothing for needy Phoenix Union Boys.

HIGHLIGHT of the faculty party series this year was the February evening at Bud Brown's Barn, where the Old West still lives, complete with old music boxes, buggies, saddles, barbecued food, and square dancing. Approximately IOO teachers and guests took time out At Bud's Barn from their routine cares to whoop 'er up with games, dancing, both modern and old-time, and the eating of a wonderful barbecue-beef dinner.

When the alert call came, bells rang, students rose sa quickly from desks, and filed out into the halls or took positions prescribed method to minimize radiation and shock dangers from against inside classroom walls, l'lere in the Fifth Building down- an atomic bomb burst. The drill went smoothly. I YUCCA FLATS, in Nevada, is just about as close as we want to come to an atomic explo- o . sion, agree our faculty and students. But when the Civil Defense administration called for an air-raid drill, on the assumption that we could expect someday to go through such an attack, we joked nervously and said, This ' ' ' ld is silly. But we had our air-raid drill. We covered our faces and necks as we were to , and thought, This isn't so funny after all. lt could happen . . . MAY WE NEVER have to endure the horror of a l-liroshima-type attack. But if it ever comes, we'll have a better chance of survival if we follow safety directions. Mrs. Jennette Banker served as chairman of the Civil Defense Committee, with Dean of Boys R. E, Mc- Cullar as executive officer, assisted by buildiag fire captains.

His audience includes English teachers at fall picnic in Mr. WiIlson's back yard. 0 0 I ONE DE THE HARDEST problems Safety H r Director McCulIar had this spring was to ' ' convince students and teachers that the Civil Defense program was serious busi- ness. Nobody really expects an A-Bomb to drop on Phoenix, or Los Angeles. Maybe China or Moscow . . . but not Phoenix! However, Mr. McCullar and his fire captains met, planned, and finally produced a creditable air raid drill, The trial run was slightly rough, but the official drill went off without a hitch. We don't want an air raid, but we believe in being prepared. lt might pay us well some dayl AIR RAID COUNCIL: Dean McCullar outlines procedures for the Civil Defense air raid drill to campus fire captains, From left are Messrs.

But they also realize the need for tellowship, a need they meet with a series ot department teas, picnics, and the like. THE YEAR'S social calendar opened with an autum lawn party at the home ot Chairman C. E.Willson. Here new teachers were introduced and the group heard from those who had enjoyed exciting summer vacations. One such report came from Ben Jordan, who took a long Caribbean cruise with Uncle Sam's Navy. At an atter-school tea, another globe trot- ter, Ruth Bradish, tolcl the department about her sojourn in England last summer.

Why, business is always a pleasure to our teachers in the Business Education Department! They truly enjoy their association with young people who are determined to succeed in the busy world. There is so much to learn, so many skills must be perfected, that busy is the best way to describe teachers and students in this field. IN SUMMER MANY of the business education teachers find positions with local firms as bookkeepers, accountants, and the like. A number of them work at the banks where they learn first-hand how the theory they teach works out in everyday practice. One of the delights of the department is the Future Business Leaders Club they sponsor. This gives students opportunity to visit local firms during the school year, combining pleasure and business.

OTHER travelers via the magazines are, from left, Joseph Santo, Martha Robbins, Maxwell Powell, and Rose Plummer. Travel I Always Profitable PERHAPS ONE REASON our Foreign Language Department members so enjoy travel south of the border and to the West Indies is the fact that they find the informality and open- heartedness of these foreign people beguiling. lt's true the more you learn about other people the more you learn to love them. And these teachers are mighty well informed on their subject. LAST SUMMER found many of these instructors visiting in Mexico and points south. One teacher and her husband flew to l-laiti for a delightful three weeks. Their adventures spark their students with a desire to learn more of Spanish and French and those who speak it. 4-4-,H HOME MAKERS in conference are, from left, Inez King, Cherry Mattie Estelle Burnett Kathryn Arnold and Dorothea Wyman Ferrell, Edna Tarleton, Janet Daou, Mildred W.

IF CONTINUOUS service brings happiness, the librarians, clerks, and public health nurses would be almost delirious with joy. But like anything else, their pleasure is punctuated with enough troubles to keep them from declaring heaven on earth is here and nowl HIGH SCHOOL students have problems that never quite reach a solution. They don't like to read. Or they can't find anything interesting. Or they meant to bring that book back Wednesday, or was it Thursday . . . and then somebody stole the key to their locker, and there you are. No bookl And why should they be blamed if somebody is mean enough to steal their locker key? In a similar manner, the Health Center receives a flow of semi-ill scholars who want to go home, but think they'd better stay in school, or vice versa.

Chart The Course For a Tour SOCIAL EDUCATION-a name coined by Dr. Ogle and his fellow historians as their choice of a department name, instead of l-listory Department. They feel that recorded history, studied chapter by chapter, can be dry as dust and often is. But social education, that's something that lives and breathes. Students can appreciate the awareness their teachers have to the world situation and to the need for broader understanding of social problems facing us now. WE LEARN by studying the past histories of nations and people, of course. But we must not forget that history is now being made and that we are an essential part of the mighty up- heaval now taking place on this planet. DARK BACKGROUNDS ap- peal to Dr. R. l-l.

The grim lessons of Pearl l-larbor will serve to keep our military strength at its peak efficiency, from the smallest ROTC cadet to the highest general. Military leaders recognize the importance of training from the high school level, and encourage programs such as our ROTC. YOUTHFUL CADETS learn many valuable lessons in military. They study the theory of attack and de- fense, they learn military orders, rules, and tacticsg they acquire military poise, politeness, precision in marching and gun handling. They are to be the future officers of the nation's most efficient army. They are the very backbone of America's stand against aggressors who would stamp out freedom.

Tl-IE ROTC UNIT at Phoenix Union has maintained high standards of excellence through the years. Its marching, weapons handling, and maneuver skill continue to draw praise from regular army inspectors.

This picture, taken sixth period in the library, finds even the librarians dressed in the approved Old West style. LOOKING forward with confidence to the problems and challenges they'Il face as seniors next year are junior class officers Mary Perkins, Sheldon Chernov, Norman Jackson, and Nellie Ortega. Class of '56 WHOOPEEl AWAY we gol Just one more yearl That's the cry heard as the Class of '56 prepares for that big step, becoming the school's example to underclassmen. Three years of memories are now stored up, one year left to pile up the honors and to complete their record as high school students. THE JUNIOR CLASS Play, Junior-Senior Prom, and many other projects have been ably handled. This year's class officers can be proud of the group they led so successfully. Traditionally the social butter- flies of the four classes, juniors may look forward to a rugged final year of studies and the all-too-soon decisions they must make after graduation. Their care-free days may be numbered, but it was fun while it lastedl PHOENIX UNlON'S 1955 Boys' State delegation meets to plan political strategy. The i3 were chosen from 450 boys in the junior class. These include Top Row: Johnny Lee, Wayne Fowler, Phil Ewart, Ken Ramsey, Robert Bivens, Bob Gregory, and Charles Allen.

COYOTE FANS had plenty to cheer about in I954-55, not the least ot which was the Phoenix Union cheerleaders themselves. Bringing to our campus another honor of which we can all be proud, this lively group ot pepsters rated third nationally in cheerleading competition. KEEPING US ON OUR toes during the basketball and football games, they led us in cheer atter cheer, helping our teams roll over all opposition. They seemed to generate enthusi- asm to the student body no matter how our boys were doing out on the playing tield. SPIRIT AT UNION, always on a high level, seemed to reach a new peak under the guid- ance of Head Cheerleader Lloyd Garber and his capable assistants. Although we became accustomed to victory, we didn't torget that good sportsmanship was our goal. l-learty cheers tor opposing players was the rule, not the exception. tIlO LIL DUDETTES with rhythm were our Pom Pon Girls, whose pre Sparkling th ir famous smiles are iboftoml Sperger Evans N cision and attraction highlighted every major athletic contest Morris ttopl Banker Moncriet Morrison M Morris and Dixon Lil Dudettes With Pep, Precision, Rhythm COMBINING BEAUTY with precision ot movement, our Pom Pon girls just coudn't be topped, But being a member ot this group isn't just glamour.

IN ADDITION to the New Year's Day princesses, we had two others this year. The football boys decided to elect a Grid Queen for the Turkey Game, sort of a royal windup to a wonder- ful season. They passed up the hundreds of beautiful senior girls. Likewise the juniors. Same with the sophomores-and settled on a brightly-smiling little freshman girl, Janet Alford.

IN THEIR SECOND year as a part of the Music I n H a Department, the Madrigal Singers have estab- lished their worth. The choir, instructed by Miss Kathleen Hergt, sings unaccompanied and without direction. Although they trequently depart trom madrigal-type songs, they were organized primarily for singing music ot the l5th and l6th century. Their voices blended beautifully and the choir's popularity zoomed. MADRIGAI. CLASS consisted ot two lO-voice groups, with a second group, underclassmen, ready to take over next year. The Madrigals sang before television cam- eras twice, and many PTA, church and school organizations. Active during the Christmas season, they maintained a busy schedule throughout the school year. A male quartet added zip to an already pleasing repertory. SING, you rascalsl ln a jolly rendition ot a rollicking number are Madrigal Quartet members Robinson, Crotty, Adams, and London. HARMONIOUS CHORUS: On stage for their annual spring concert are members of A Cappella Choir. Their presentation of light classics, sacred, and popular numbers won high praise from their audience. A Song For Everyone. .. MUSIC TO PLEASE . . . That's the specialty of A Cappella Choir, under direction of Mrs. Sue Lombardi. Finding an attentive audience wherever they go, the 90-voice girls chorus presents such a varied and sparkling performance that even the most rabid Bach or bebop fan cannot leave without being pleased. ALWAYS READY to respond with an outstanding performance, A Cappella once again made a rich contribution to Phoenix Union's Christmas and Easter seasons. Adding an additional touch of variety to A Cappella programs were the sophomore, junior, and senior trios. Blend- ing together in various types of music, the trios were well received whenever they sang. Also outstanding was the annual spring concert with the Orchestra. The girls were especially pleased to rate a place in First Chair, yearbook which featured the leading musical organ- izations in the nation. Recreational activities included an initiation party, spring picnic, and farewell banquet.

PLEASING TO ALL EARS was the music of the Concert Orchestra which this year was heard at numerous public functions such as assemblies, banquets, and special concerts. Under the talented baton of Mr. Eugene Lombardi, the student musicians earned high plaudits in their Annual Spring Concert given March 4. Music Makers NATIONAL PROMINENCE was also the lot of the Concert Orchestra, which rated space in the First Chair publication as an outstanding organization. One reason for the recognition might have been the interest shown by these students in the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra. Many of the students played with the Youth Symphony, a city-wide group sponsored by the Phoenix orchestra. But practice and performances did not monopolize all of the Concert Orchestra's time. Members found opportunity to cavort at parties and gay desert picnics.

Their Fame Was Nationwicl PHOENIX UNlON'S nationally acclaimed Oratorio Society has won additional honnors this year. Under the direction of Dr. Milton K. Rasbury, the choir presented Handel's The Messiah at Christmastime, in hope of establishing this presentation as an annual affair. FURTHER RECOGNITION came to the Society when they were asked by the Mutual Broad- casting Company to sing the Oratorio Stabat Mater on the nation-wide network - the fourth time they'ye sung for a major network. They sang Stabat Mater in their annual Easter Phoenix performance. THIS YEAR'S outstanding efforts were the result of long hours of work on the part of the chorus, the director and accompanists. Long established as one of the leading choral organ- izations in the Southwest, many feel that Dr. Rasbury directed this choir to a new peak. Holy Night.. DR.

IN ADDITION to assemblies and basketball games, the Gym was the scene this year of numerous sports dances and formal balls. Curfain's Going Up. BRRRR! l-la! Terror at Black Oaks brought giggles of laugh- ter from the audience. Here Walker catches Hancock and Kirk red-handed in a comic situ' ation. OUR DRAMATICS classes had many a field day this year with an assortment of plays de- signed to fit the needs of everybody. lf you liked love scenes, you got 'em. Comedy? lt came in tubfulsl Suspense? Murder mysteries, creeping death, and terror were around the corner, complete with furious lightning, thunder, and the crash of falling blood pressure. Tl-IE TEENAGER laughfest, Not In A Thousand Years, wound up the regular program. Masque and Gavel sponsored what many considered the prize assembly of the year when they presented a variety program highlighting a bridge game as women would play it featuring Messrs. Johnson, Jacquot, Shepard, and Olsen. A companion skit, Little Red, cleverly satirized the old fable on the same assembly program.

NOW YOU just listen to mel Stern elders Mattern and Rose read the riot act to teeners Kaldizer and Howe, who listen dutifully, but with obvious dis- pleasure in a scene from Not In A Thousand Years. 0 CERTAINLY, sophistication had no part in the dramatic offerings this year. Not that anybody wanted such long hair stuff, anywayl For mystery and suspense, Terror At Black Oaks, given near Halloween time, did a good job ot chilling spectators while tickling their ribs. This was quickly followed by a light comedy, Her Fatal Beauty. LACKING THE USUAL All-School Follies to occupy their time, the dramatics students were able to give full attention to a series ot comedies that delighted their afternoon audiences. Masque and Gavel had its share of the spotlights, too. PICNIC SCENE in the garden finds Hancock looking over the menu happier if there were something more on the table to eat. The and the carrying-on of Juarez, Ewart, and Fox, who might be play was a hilarious, rib-tickling farce. Q Romance and Roses MAKE READY for Midnight and Roses Ball kept many League girls busy, in- cluding Beulah Gregory, Patricia Mare tinez, Rose Bourne, and Darlene Emery. SOFT MUSIC, EXCITEMENT, and romance . . . these marked the outstanding dance events ot our l954-55 school year. Moonlight Serenade was the framework around which the Girls' League built its annual Midnight and Roses Ball. The Junior Council went Oriental tor this year's Sweetheart Ball, choosing Japanese Gardens as the theme. Each dance de- lighted patrons with the music, decorations, and feature numbers. A NEW FLAVOR highlighted the Junior-Senior Prom in April - Peppermint Stick, no less. The circus treatment in decorations and the holiday spirit as Graduation Day drew near sparked the eventtul ball. HANDSOME COUPLES graced the Gym floor at Midnight and Roses Ball. Always popular, the Girls' League formal attained a new high tor entertainment. Or could it be we were in a more sentimental mood tor the theme, Moonlight Serenade? Real Cool S Y PRIZE WINNERS of the feature waltz at the Sweetheart Ball were LeRoy Hurler and Shirley Sperger.

I lN ANOTHER WAY l955 was a banner year uc a for Phoenix Union. For it was this semester 0 . that found a talented faculty going on stage to entertain appreciative students with a brand of corn unknown west of Iowa. Perhaps the loss of the All-School Follies turned out to be a bonanza . . . if it meant the teachers were to come out of their shells and prove they were really humans with a sense of humorl ALMOST CERTAIN to be repeated will be a faculty vaudeville which this year enriched the Parent-Teacher fund while tickling the students. And the Masque and Gavel skit, fea- turing the dramatics instructors, couldn't have been funnier or better timed. Yes, indeed, there'll be more! Rare talent has been uncovered! U38 Sure, We're J ust The Type! OH HO, YOU gooted! Assistant Direc- tor Harnish is the only one laughing during this rehearsal moment of Not In A Thousand Years. Chastened cast members are Mattern, Michael, Rose, Kaldizar. l WHO HAS MORE FUN than people? Whether it's a part in a play or just gathering at a friend's house for a TV party or a home-cooked meal, Phoenix Union kids know how to enjoy life. One thing is certain - nobody takes things seriously for too long a stretch. That would be major disaster! Live and Learn is a fine motto. Let's enlarge it thus: Live, and Learn, and Have Funl Especially if you can get a part in the school playl NEVER HAD a leading part in a stage play, but at least Betty Critchfield got her leg in a cast! lris Webb decorates the plaster while Mr. Corno watches.

One other thing of value they acquire - by practice. That is the ability to meet the public courteously and efficiently. In a regular season, the usherettes are likely to hear world-famous singers, pianists, and instrumentalists, An excellent dinner in the spring highlights their year's service.

Easily one of our most active clubs, FBLA had had no idle moments this school year. Field trips, excursions, guest speakers, social gatherings, and even a school-wide spelling contest colored their calendar of events. SO SUCCESSFUL was the spelling contest, it is likely to be an annual affair, Sponsors Poteet and Caceletto believe. Yvonne Given won the i955 contest and SiO. There were seven final- ists in all. Another highlight of the FBLA year is the initiation, when many beginning business students are enrolled, follow- ing a solemn ceremony. CHESS CLUB-UPPER ROW: Lopez, Lloyd, Bently, Pass, Shadburne.

But winning is not always the best goal in itself. There is a challenge, an exhilaration in out-smarting an opponent which is guaranteed to pay off in a thrill superior to any gloating one might want to do after attaining a victory. A NEW INTEREST at school, chess has attracted a number of thoughtful boys F- and a few girls - who think checkers and tiddle-de-winks are in the same class. They enjoy the classic game, and have given a good account of themselves in competition with other such clubs. The Reserve Officers Club sponsors interest in the ROTC program at Phoenix Union.

Perhaps it's their motives which inspire such ambition! Phoenix Union girls started their own version ot the Senior l-li-Y this year in the form of Senior and Junior Tri-l-li-Y Clubs. They thus launched a calendar ot activities that kept them running. CALLED JEUNESSE En Marche, or Youth on the March, Senior Tri-Hi-Y worked on numerous service projects, selling cookies, sponsoring a car wash, and promoting a Sock l-lop Dance to earn money for them. Purpose is to inspire creative work on social projects and service programs, and to maintain a good Christian fellowship. The club, lead by President Deanna Duncan, is sponsored by YWCA. Junior Tri-Hi-Y was led by Loretta Gotch, Shirley Sperger, Nelda Morris, Barbara Poole, and Dorothy Bedia. cw' W H489 STADIUM CLUB-Row 'lx Sanchez, Bowen, Ortig, Ortega, Haggard, Black, Newbald, Telles, Owen.

YOU'LL NEVER FIND better men than the Lettermenl A motto like that might sound tace- tious, but there's more than a little truth in the saying.Trained from the start to consider the other tellow's rights in the game, these Coyote grid, basketball, track, and other ath- letes appreciate the spirit ot tair play tar more than could the spectator at one ot their games. The spirit ot friendly competition is good training for one's later responsibilities. UNDER SPONSORSHIP ot the Athletic Department, with Coach Sam Winningham as ad- viser, the Lettermen's Club has had a dandy year. Frequent meetings, a banquet, and the traditional Commando Basketball Game in the spring highlighted their agenda.

She'd rather be the clinging vine who had to be defended by her stalwart male admirer whenever a mouse sneezed. But not any more! Lil Dudette has muscles and is proud ot 'em. She can swim, hike, run, bat a ball, and give every evidence ot red-blooded vigor. Girls' Letter Club is our modern-day proot. WHEN A PERSON needs a friend, she really needs one. And that's one reason tor the Friendship Club - to welcome every girl who wants companionship and the chance to enjoy the social side ot school lite.

The Pack re- turned the city, conference, and state championships to PUHS tor the first time since 1948, with Coach Sam Winningham's single-winger grinding nine toes into Submission, while being tied once. Tl-lE COYOTES scored 282 points to opponents' meager 76 and became one ot the top three or tour teams to represent Phoenix Union in 60 years. CHAMPIONS!

Rhinehart picked up the loose ball and the official's whistle. Action took place in Turkey Day game H651 Coyotes Win Early Respect STARTING THE SEASON fast by dumping Yuma 4l-7 in Yuma, the Pack won early respect as a top team. Juniors George Greathouse and Dan Rhinehart gave notice of things to come by running over and around the hapless Criminals. Next came Union's annual jinx, St. Mary's Knights. Trailing at halftine, Union's single wing exploded in the second half for a 37-13 Pack win. Greathouse scored three TDS all in spectacular fashion. Sumner Smith, Darnel Haney, Alfred Carr, and Richard Borden led a defense which threw the Knights for a minus 36 yards rushing. AN lLl.-FATED journey to California put the only blot on the Coyotes' l954 record. Be- hind 7-O in the first four minutes of play, the Redlands Terriers struck back with only three minutes of play remaining to gain a 7-7 tie. Bakersfield, next California foe, sub- mitted 33-l4. Sherman Gile, Greathouse, Rhinehart, and Quarterback Vic Sanchez led the Coyote offensive, Jerry Garrison, Cecil Warriner, Ron Montgomery, Ray Hall, and Norman Jackson sparked the defense. END CECIL Warriner makes a desperate attempt to stop a St. Mary's back during Union's 33- l3 triumph. Down Go Tech, Tucson, Mesa UNlON'S Haney and Montgomery arrive too late during action in the North High tussle, as Greathouse lies on the turf. DON COYOTE gave his reserves action against the out-classed Tech Hornets, who fell 33-O. Coyote regulars and backs Syl Mabry, Moe Watson, and Madero White found the Hornet sting impotent. Tucson next fell obligingly, 34-7. The massive Coyote line held the winless Badgers in check while Union's backfield ripped big gains through the Tucson line. DANGEROUS MESA was next, in a game that left Phoenix as the only undefeated Class AA team. Greathouse led the Coyotes to a slim l3-7 win. The Pack defense sparkled, holding the Rabbits to one TD. WEST HIGH WAS surprisingly stubborn before succumbing to a Union second half up- rising, 36-l3. Lanky Haney led the Pack on both offense and defense. Amphitheater's Panthers also put up a good first half struggle before falling by the wayside, 34-8. Once again the whole Coyote squad starred, as the Panthers couldn't move the ball against their bigger opponents.

Phoenix Union topped North High, l4-7 in their annual Thanksgiving Day thriller. A fourth quarter pass from Greathouse to end Ken Ramsey covered l8 yards and the winning score, a play long to be remembered by Coyote fans. Hall, Carr, Harry Stewart, Haney, Robert Fields, and Sanchez played as though inspired. Great- house represented most of the Union offense. GREATHOUSE, SANCHEZ, and Carr were named to the All State first team, with Great- house as team captain. Montgomery, Smith, and Garrison won All-State second team births. Honorable mention went to Coyotes Jackson, Fields, Borden, Haney, Rhinehart, and Hall. lt was a fitting windup to our biggest and best football year.

Others due for varsity consideration were Floyd Smith, Jerry Murphree, Chuck Pearson, Terry Henderson, Larry Jackson, Steve Crookston, and Joe Weaver. Only St. Mary's, Mesa, and North High were able to top the Pups, who later swamped North and St. Mary's. These lads will make headlines next tall! HERE'S YOURS!

Those Phoenix Union dudes were no slouches on the mats, opponents from all over Arizona were to learn. The boys followed their football and basketball fellow athletes right into the winners' circle, taking the State Wrestling Crown. AFTER AN 8-2-l regular season, the Phoenicians wound up at the state tourney in Tucson Feb. 25-26, where they swept aside all challengers. Emerging as state champs in their class were Richard Borden, heavyweight, Alfred Bobo, l75 pounds, Don Keith, l45, John Lee l33.

Balance-That Was The Key BALANCE WAS THE key to the Coyotes' l954-55 success. Guards Manuel Varella and Otto Hutchinson set up the offense, while act- ing as ball hawks on defense, Union's 6'3 Al Nealey and 6'6 Darnel Haney carried a large part of the scoring burden, with Al Carr hitting consistently on a jump shot. Sumner Smith, Vernon Russell, Ken Ramsey, Gene Gilbert, and .lon Conner all provided depth and reserve strength in the Coyote champion- ship drive. GAMES WITH PHOENlX College JV, North High and Mesa were played in the afternoon at a reduced price that gave more Coyote rooters a chance to see their team in action.

Next came those pesky Mustangs from North, and Coach Long's angry Coyotes had revenge in their hearts. As though inspired, the Pack ran up a humiliating l4-O first quarter lead, to smash the Horses, 60-35. Tucson fell to the Coyotes in the championship game, 59-49.

Losing only three games, the Pack rolled up l4 victories. This fine record won them the City Championship and cinched second place in Class AA standings. Only Glen- dale and Tucson were able to master the Coyotes in regular season contests. Booming Bats UNDER THE DIRECTION of Coach Martin Marich, the Pack scored wins over Tech, St. Mary's, Amphitheater, Yuma, Mesa, West, North, and a later contest with Glendale. This year's leading hitters were Joe Duffy, Ernie Valencia, Jon Conner, Alvin Roberts, and Benny Ruiz. S-L-I-D-E Joe!

Joe Nevarez led the Pack hurlers, backed by Syl Mabry, Johnny Craig, Lou Rainbolt, and Ken Ramsey, who also held down first base. For the first time in years, the Pack had a home field-at Eastlake Park. FOR ONCE, THE NINE was not forced to contend with marching cadets, Masque stage sets, or pre-occupied track stars.

UNlON'S WELL-BALANCED track team added several trophies to the already bulging list of Coyote sports triumphs, by capturing the city and state titles. Strong in the distance races, the Pack finished either first or second in every 880 and mile. Other excellent Coyote events were the 440, 220, high jump, broad jump, and both hurdles. Coach Steve Carson's track squad was as outstanding as their basketball and football comrades. Making Tracks RAY McKlSSON led in points, being undefeated in the mile and scoring many firsts in the 880. Rey Mendoza, state's second fastest miler, pressed McKisson hard all year. Bob Shankland was Conference best in the 440, with Lige Franklin tops in the 220. Lyn Cor- nett was the finest Union high-jumper in PUHS history, while Jerry Garrison scored many firsts and seconds in both hurdles.

Shankland captured the 440, with the Coyote relay team adding a sixth Pack first out of I3 events. Garrison, Delbert Hodge, Earl Hicks and George Greathouse gave the locals second, third and fourth in both hurdles events. On Cinder Path ALSO HIGHLIGHTING the season was a trip to California, where nine Coyotes scored I3 points in three events to top 24 California opponents in the Santa Barbara Relays. Although losing only to Tucson, the Pack did suffer two early-season ties to Mesa. However, the Coyotes came back strong to top Mesa twice by easy margins, first in a three-way meet with North, and later in a four-way meet with North and Tucson.

Those flying tennis balls kept feet flying, arms swinging, and cheeks rosy red. At the same time the girls developed grace, balance, and agility. From this group will come the Girls' Tennis Team ladder for i955-56. WHEN DAYS GROW warm, all girls in the department prepare for a part in the Masque of the Yellow Moon, and many do rate a place in the dances or other formations. Constant practice pays off with the oh's and ah's of spectators applauding the final result. WHEEL of fortune? No, just a dance formation for the Masque. Miss Fair- fax coached this group of underclassmen. il8Oi ' BATTER UP! Girls of the Month gathered for this snap, with amused teachers looking on. From left are Carmen Ramirez, Erlinda Varela, Quola Hatch, and Lidia Avila. Teachers are Miss Ferguson and Miss Maxey. l 0 0 HOW THE BIRDIES DO FLY when Badmin- ton Club goes in for its favorite sportl One of the trickiest of sports, it seems to be just the ticket for girl athletes with more energy than they can use up in the classroom. Membership climbed to l25 with competitive matches adding to the program's interest. Three honors went to this group at the annual State Tourney, held this year at Arizona State College in Tempe. GIRL OF THE MONTH awards this year stirred up interest in the GAA program. Those selected represented the best in sportsmanship, citizenship, and skill in athletics. Other girls' sports also attracted their share of players. Baseball, or softball, emerged as the out- standing spring sport, but shuffleboard, table tennis, and basketball got an enthusiastic following, too. There were plenty of sports for every individual interest. BADMINTON CLUB-Rowl: Dixon, Munoz, Soto, Moore, Robledo, Tejada, Galindo, Kirby, Gray, Edwards, Snaw. Row 5: Chavez Villaverde.

Such is the drama ot Dawn, Noon, and Sunset .... as described by the Old Prospector. SUCH ALSO was the theme of the 24th Annual Masque of the Yellow Moon which portrayed with polished sequences the story ot the desert May 6 and 7 in Montgomery Stadium. Mrs. Virginia Duncan, Mr. Willard Jacguot, student Douglas McGrath, and over 4,000 others co-operated this year to produce an eminently successful production. DESERT FLOWERS, as enacted by Miss Fairtax's Phoenix Union students, make a graceful pattern as the Masque begins. RIGHT: Don Hay, audio-visual technician, follows the script closely.
