WE ARE NOW THREE schools in one. Only by team- work has Phoenix Union maintained its place among America's outstanding schools, for our problems have been many and difficult. TEAMWORK is an abstract principle . . . but its dividends are clearly shown in results. Man has always known it is more profitable to work with others than to go it alone. Co-operation succeeds where narrower concepts often will fail. WE RECOGNIZE teamwork as a necessary ingredient at home, in the community, and at school. We are justifiably proud to be a part of the great Phoenix Union High School team. ?lg-111 ll lf.-I Contents Introduction .,,.,.A Leadership ,, so ,, School at Work ..,..rrr Our Classes .......r Student Lite ........

GEAR PHOENICIANS have learned to value the services and thinking of our Board ot Education and Supt. Harold L. Gear. These civic-minded leaders head one of the nation's largest and most progressive school systems. America, as well as the Phoenix community, respects and honors them for their unselfish devotion to duty. PROGRESS NEVER stands still, and our Board has consistently looked to the future of the Salt River Valley and the need to provide modern schools for the thousands of newcomers. Soon two more high schools will be dedicated to this progress-with even more schools already in the blueprint stage. The Board of Education leads - but only as a team, with the community backing it up lOO per cent. BOARD OF EDUCATION: Dr. Trevor G. Browne, Jay Hyde, Mrs. F. A. Bons, Dr. Charles S. Purtymun Jr, Frank Haze Burch His Team Works With Efficiency EVERY SCHOOL has a Principal's Office, but not many can claim to be as smoothly operated as is ours. A good school is merely the reflec- tion of its leader - a fact for which Phoenix Union may well be proud. No Student body or faculty has ever had a better friendg no community could hope for a more progressive, fair-minded school administrator than we have in Mr. James S. Carter. ANOTHER MARK of a good leader is in the quality of his assistants The young women who do secretarial and other office work are models of efficiency often under conditions of strain, when registration, class schedules, and new programs rain problems down up un the school's administrators, AT YOUR SERVICE are Betty Prctzer, Gail Larson, Phyllis Mallee Leona Rose Mary Lou Gas ensmith and Nadine Dcarlng Leaders A-fi 5 1. .,., , H :Q 7: f fi' S g Y' ' '-- Y 1. ..

NUCLEUS OF OUR STUDENT government program is the Board of Control. Teamwork, co-operation, and adhering to the principles of democracy highlighted the year's activities of the board. Every student felt the responsibility ot an adult citizen when ballots came his way, Through the Student Council and the Board, he voiced his opinion, Good citizenship is a rule and not an exception. Few of our student body ever visit the Board of Control, but these offenders receive sound counsel from their fellow students. BOARD OF CONTROL at work.

That's the main qualification to be a solid member of Boys' Federation Every year they raise money to help students who can't afford to buy books and clothes Also they raise money in a way that doesn't hurt! The Follies and the Frontier Dance are just two of the Fed's money-raising functions sponsored this year - both beneficial. ANOTHER OF THE Federation jobs is the upkeep and maintenance of the Cafeteria juke box, owned and operated by the boys' organization. This year out-of-doors loudspeakers were installed so that students who brought their lunches and ate in the Quad could enjoy the lilting music while munching their sandwiches.

Good Work Builds Success LET'S BE BUSlNESSLlKEl Many people go through lite believing that they must not assert themselves for tear of hurting another's feelings , . . when all the time the persons they are most injuring are themselvesl An understanding ot good business practices and care- ful observation of ethical standards can lead on to success for all concerned. THE OLD-TIME grocer who used to give away cheese and crackers to the town loaters had to overcharge the more solid citizens it he wanted to make a living. But cheesy methods won't work in a more modern economy, Business Education students learn accuracy in accounting, typing, shorthand, and vocabulary, they study commercial law, business machines, office practices.

The old village blacksmith could shoe a horse or repair your sewing machine without having to produce a license from the city or a diploma from MIT. He took up automobile repairing, too, when Old Dobbin was put out to pasture. But all of his training came from experience. There were complications ahead as machines grew more complex , . .

'N Class Cf 1956 HERE THEY come . . . The Class of l956l Eyes clear, heads high, determined, self-assured, prepared to face any problem. Ready, willing, and able . . . At least, that is how they feel now. All the world is full of roses. Every street is paved with the gold of oppor- tunity, They are young, they have earned a diploma, Time will bring stern realization to what are now fond hopes. The world is not a bowl of cherries or a rose- scented path to success. But the Class of '56 is armed with more than starry-eyed dreams . . . Each has an educational background that will help ease the bumps of defeat and point the way to the solid highway of achievement. Once launched, he'll make everybody remember him with pride and admiration. THERE lS A GENIE . . . a fabulous giant who magically opens doors to great treasures, lifts us from the depths of despair into the warm glow of success. But it takes a bit of We . . doing to put him to work . . . for he dwells within us. The spark of genius must get its start with the individual. He alone can call it to duty or smother it with vain regrets or unkept promises. The way-to-riches fable has no place in today's realistic world. The Class of '56 knows of only one road for success: get busy! lf your golden egg of opportunity falls from the frying pan . . . get out, find ancther egg. ALTHOUGH THE BIG scholarships from the Eastern colleges hadn't come through in time to report, here are a few seniors who have made that first step upward: Marie Gassler, Grand Canyon College renewable scholarship, Bob Gregory, Naval ROTC S5000 scholarship, Barbara Poole, Occidental College, S750 scholarship, Joe Shepard, Standard Oil S400 scholarshipg Lyda Fung, Loretta Gotch, Don Kenney, Charles lBuddyl Sessions, tuition scholar- ships to Arizona State University, and Roberta Haworth, AF of L S500 sch.olarship.

Director is Harvey Zorn, with Pat Lebs as assistant director, The fast-stepping Concert Band wowed the crowds at football games with their formations and excellent harmony. THERE'S A PLACE in the band for every boy and girl who has ambition to blow his own horn - or a reasonable facsimile! The school is able to provide a number of instruments as well as the colorful uniforms that dazzle onlookers. Training in precision marching and music gives the band member an exciting and memorable experience. This year a varsity band was formed to include only freshmen and sophomores. They will be the back- bone of a strong Concert Band during their junior and senior years Exceptional musicians may look for scholarships, too, when they get-ready to enter college. THIS I LIKE!

FURIOUS OVER their defeat by the Rebels the week previous, the determined Coyotes waded in on Yuma, clobbering the potentially strong Criminals 35-O. Yuma, which tinished second to the Coyotes in Class AA, was completely stymied as the Pack, headed by Quarterback Dave Hibbert, revealed a new passing attack. Replacing the injured Robert Fields, Hibbert broke the game wide open with sharp passes to Ends Darnel Haney and Delbert Hodge.

MIGHTY GLAD TO HEAD back for the Golden State were two of California's perennially big, bold teams: San Diego and Santa Barbara. The former had to settle for 39-2 after an evening of demoralizing runs, kicks, and hard knocks from a fast, rugged Pack. Santa Barbara's Dons, who had humbled previous Coyote teams more times than the local fans could remember, bit the dust l-4-O. UNPREDICTABLE MESA was next T . . and the final outcome, I3-7 for Phoenix, was the identical score of the l954 season! Greathouse performed superbly in the thriller.

Guards Jon Conner and Allen lStretchl Holmes led the Pack all season with fine all-around floor play. Forward Ken Ramsey, despite a knee iniury which hampered him all season, was a terror on defense while lanky Albert Nealey and 6'7 center Darnell Haney led the Coyotes' scoring, NEALEY WAS SECOND to North's Jirn Conley in city scoring, while Haney set a new city scoring record ot 40 points. Said Coach Long, Haney spent many hours of practice after school to overcome his awkwardness, and no one could have deserved an award more. Depth was provided by underclassrnen Delbert Hodge, Steve Crookston, and Lige Franklin. HIGH SCORING Albert Nealey proud- ly displays some of the trophies he has helped win during l954-56 One of Arizona's greatest prep hoopsters, Nealey is being sought by many col- leges.

But you must train vigor- ously or tumble by the waysidel Rugged but not too speedy were these boys in the two-mile races this year. They held IO matches, ended the racing season without too much success. ADDED INTEREST in gymnastics was aroused this year with the arrival of Coach Goodson, skilled in teaching the art to high schoolers. Development of muscles is secondary to the learning of balance and co-ordination. Students learn how the flip, flop, jump, and fall with equal ease. Competitively, the Phoenix Union boys looked good against Valley Gym- nasts. High seasonal scorers, in order, were Robinson, Cornelius, Gore, Contreras, Sewell, Dumont, and Griffiths.

Rough Going EVEN SO, DON COYOTE has every right to be proud of Coach Steve Carson and his cinder- men, As The Phoenician goes to press, the Coyote trackmen remain undefeated. They had won 7 straight, including the City Meet, the Arizona Relays, and the Glendale Invitational. This is Coach Carson's last team at PUHS. He will be a mentor at Phoenix College.
