Althotgh other people had inhabited the country before this date, they were by comparison, unworthy of mention. Cur group op seventy began to explore and settle this land which was so sadly in need cf our civilizing in- dluence. In order to keep the wonderful reputation we had attained in Grammar School Land, we elected as cur leaders Ismael Valdivia, presidentg Joe Casillas, vice- presidentg Luis Acosta, secretary-treasurerg Joe Tameron and Roy Santa Cruz as representatives. Cur advisors were Mr. Taylor and Mr. Juleff. Dean Moody--1941 American Bathing Beauty??? Ch, yes, of ccrrse. You're thinking of the Freshman'Yelcome Dance with all the nFrcshiesn in their short trousers 0? skirts and their big green ties or ribbons. That was loads of fun and something to remember. September of 1942 found the class of 1945 eager to continue its prospecting. This time Dean Moody was chosen as president of our mining conmmnity, Joe Casillas held the vice-presidency, and Joe Tameron headed the treasury. Louis Lopez and Mattie Mae Marshall were our representatives, and Mr. Test and Miss Montgomery were cur sponscrs. Though our way was at first beset by many trials and dangers, we established ourselves on this strange land. Though the difficulties of jects, Unappreciative Faculty, and Supercilious Upper-classmen were aging, we were soon able to overcome them. Although our life since had soon New Sub- discour- then has been more peaceful, we have had our periods of stress and trouble. There have been times when, to preserve our independence, we have had to carry on a revolu- tionary war against tyrannical powers who will some day regret that they were so slow in recognizing our greatness. Also we have had to resort to civil war to protect Lurselves from the encroachments and indignities of the other classes. But as our cause was just, we have triumphed. A group cannot accomplish much without leaiers, so in 1943 we chose Joe Casillas, presidentg Joe Tameron, vice-presidentg Virginia Preciado, Secretaryg Anise Mitchell, treasurerg Dean Moody and Ismael Valdivia, class representatives and Mr. Sims and Mrs. Gerner were the class sponsors. When Virginia Preciado quit school to undergo the duties of a housewife, Josephine Cartagena was elec- ted to the office. One of the class's activities was selected, and was just super!!! Ketron's home. we directing the play. during this year was the play. A good play could not have done better. Spring Fever' play, the Junior Class had a party at Mrs. the great patience Mrs. Ketron showed while the entire cast Following the all appreciate The second semester began by electing persons ?or the presidency and forum representation because Joe Casillas and Ismael Valdivia were classified as Seniors. John Buchanan was elected to lead the class, and Agnes Pelletier was elected as the new representative. . The main event of the year--the Junior Promenade--was a colordul sight. The auditorium was the scene of a rose garden very well imitated. Preceding the dance the Juniors and Seniors enjoyed a delicious dinner at the banquet given to the departing Seniors by the Juniors. A program was well planned, and everyone enjoyed himself. Thanks goes to Miss Peters Cnow Mrs. Gernerl, and Mr, Sims for their co- operation in making all the year's activities great successes. My, how time flies! It seems like only yesterday se Seniors were starting school.' Now here we are at the end oF our ngood old high school daysw. Many have gone and come. Cf the original colcnizers, only Anise Mitchell, Jack Flanagan, Joe Tameron, Angelita Lira, Lucy Gonzales, and Mary Lou Jimenez re- main. The others have gone to other lands, lends of matrimony, business, or other High Schools. Some have gone to serve in Uncle San's Armed Forcesg others have completed High School in three years, and have gone on to colleges. Many of the present inhabitants came from foreign lands. When the reputation of our land reached them, they were not satisfied until they could come to live with us. Dorothy McKean, Lilly Hing, and Bertha Maldonado are taking High School in three yearsg therefore, they have also joined us. Cur leaders Por this year were Carolyn McClain, presidentg Jack Flanagan, vice-presidentg Julia Trillo, secretaryg Anise Mitchell and Jackie Corson, class representatives. Thanks to Mr. Test and Mrs. Tard for splendid helf in all activities. The Christmas Dance given by the Senior Class was enjoyed by everyone. A very good intermission program was arranged. The Pirate Dance and nFun In A Luncheonn helped financially in providing funds for the Senior Ditch Day. Agnes Pelletier really wowed them in the Senior assembly. Nice going, Ag-- maybe Hollywood will have you. The other half of the assembly was a story oF a Mexican family. Both acts kept the students in a c ntinual howl. Everyone looked his best for the Baccalaureatte services. It was a solemn group which listened to the reading of Scriptures and was blessed with a prayer. Class Night and more fun!!! We hope there are as many famous persons in the class of '45 as indicated. Doesn't everyone look grand? But they're all so excited they can hardly laugh or breathe. Well, our story ends. We find our treasure. What else could be more impor- tant in life than an education? Though we must depart to other lands, the deeds we have done will always speak 'or us, and though absent, we will still be Superior High Sohool's class of 1945. 1 I ::::1,Q L T. Gutierrez--V-Pres. A.

They were: Anis Mitchell, president, Tony Gutierrez, viee-pres- identg Rose Sanchez, secretary-treasurer, Gloria Gonzalez and Joe Patrick, forum members. The very successful year started out by the sponsoring of NShow Business' at the theatre. Three days later the theatre burned down. A delightful Thanksgiving dance carrying out the holiday theme was given in November. Hauphty paper turkeys were used as favors. . In December, the Juniors made possible the performance of 'Birch, Easter Magician,n much to the delight of the student body. Due to this presentation, the Junior Class Play was forfeited. . Later, during the Sixth War Loan Drive, the Juniors showed their patriotism by raffling two 325 bonds. On February 16, the Juniors presented by far the best assembly of the year with a Teacher Skit and The Stage Door Canteen. The students who portrayed fac- ulty members were: Hr. Darsey--Anis Mitchell, Mrs. Craig--Betty Ruth Fry, Mr. West--Joe Patrick, Mrs. Gerner--Gloria Gonzalez, Mr. Berger--Norman Mitchell, Miss Belshawb-Joyce Maynard, Mrs. Ward--Frances Ware, Mrs. Houghton--Virginia Davidson, Mrs. Augustadt--Pauline Besich, and Mrs. Haught--Wilma McClain. Bill Corn played the part of Dud Walker, janitor. Appearing in the Stage Door Canteen were such stars as: Harry James--Tony Gutierrez, Donna Drake--Anis Mitchell, Judy Canova--Artemisa Sanchez, Jerry Colona--Carlos Martinez, Hazel Scott--Flora Vieitez, Ischcabibble--Gipriano Haro, and many more great stare. The gayest and most informal event sponsored by the class was the annual Barn Dance given on April 20. Saddles, spurs and hay made clever decorations which put everyone in the spirit of the occasion. The final goal, the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet was held on April 27, and was a wonderful success. The delicious banquet was served in the recreation hall, and the auditorium was gorgeously decorated for dancing. The whole Junior class worked together to give the departing Seniors something to remember. During 'the year, our male population slightly decreased, but there were enough boys to make a very good showing in football, basketball, baseball, and tennis. Most of the boys left the class to serve in Uncle Sam's forces,but others left for various reasons. Dorothy McKeen, Lilly Hing, and Bertha Maldonado also left our ranks to join the Senior class. A Although we have decreased in nu ber, we have tried to make this year our most prosperous one in high school, and in our estimation we have done a good job. The Junior Class offers its 'sincere gratitude to its sponsors, Hrs. Gerner and lr. Berger, for their wonderful support in all the class activities. A . I In-is .2122- B . Fo raker--V-Pres . Y.

The first meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers. Helen Kitchell ues elected president, Burch Foraker was vice-president, Yolanda Sastro was sec- retary and treasurer. Representatives on the forum were Umberto Haro and Joe Herrada. Peachy Ells was elected on the Girls' League Council. Hrs. Augustadt and Hr. Darsey were unanimously elected to be class sponsors. They did a swell job in helping put across many social shindips. The Freshies were welcomed with a dance in September. Didn't you think it was simply dee-vine ? v January came and the Sophs were at it again. The Tranp Dance was a great relief. It was super to be able to jive away your semester exam blues. Remember the show nSaps at Sean in February? It was side-splitting. The Soph assembly was hilarious. Everyone enjoyed it. In Narch everyone was dressed in green. Why? The St. Fatrick's Day Dance which was really in the groove. Those husky football players you saw last season were mostly Sonhs. Those boys are a plenty rough and tough bunch and will stand watching the next two years. Congratulations to Tanore, Tucker, Fernandez, J. Herrada, and Foraker, who made first string this year. The Sophs did a good job this year, and their determination and hard work will do much for S. H. S. in the coming years. we Sophs join together with the other classes in wishing the Seniors all the luck and success in the world. . 4: -X - 4,, 4, . , fxkaiu - 4:91 zz: V A Q .

Reyes Vender was elected president, Bobbie Buchanan, vice-president, and Teddy Rodriguez, secretary-treasurer. The forum members were label Dora Bisi and Eddie Gomez. When Eddie quit school to go to work, Tony De Dios was elected to the vacancy. ldss Belshaw and Mrs. Houghton were elected our sponsors. we wish to thank them very much for the way they have worked along with us this year. Since Yrs. Houghton is a Spanish teacher, she was able to give us some hints on the decora- tions for our Fiesta Dance. After the class was organized, we started the social season by attending the traditional Freshmen Welcome Dance given by the Sophomores. Ramona Dean and John Goss won the priyes for the cutest ubabies.n' Several of the boys gave a style show and a dance during intermission. Mary Wylie Tucker, Lucy Arnett, Alex Arnett, and Nora Haddad also performed. we didn't sponsor very many dances and plays this year, but our Freshmen Fiesta in February was a big successt The decorations were Spanish. Sombreros and sarapes were hung on the walls. Tacos, tostadas, and drinks were sold in the Recreation Hall. we sponsored a dance on January 24 after a basketball game but did not charge for it. , The Freshmen were well represented in the field of athletics such as: Rafael Herrera, Jesus Gonzales, Reyes Vender, Alex Martinez, Rip Tomerlin, Freddie Carrillo, Innocents Silva, Raymond Villalobos, Joe Rivera, Billy Banks, Manuel Sanchez. u ' ' ff ,Q ff M 7 - fl?

Our defensive stood up valiantly under a strong on- slaught,but our offensive couldn't quite reachlthe scoring territory. Just wait until next time. CASA GRANDE Out to avenge their first defeat the Panthers charged into the Cougars'home grounds. Peppy teamwork carried the Panthers to an easv viztorv of 19-G. In spite of the Cougars' famed Reed the Superior line stopped them time and again. M AMI The Panthers and Vandals clashed in a hard-fought, evenly-matched game at the Panther Field. The goals remained untouched throughout all four quarters-- the score O-O. This was said to be one of the best all-round games of the sea- son--too bad we didn't win. COOLIDGE The Panthers were left dazed by the Bears' tricky HTH formation plus speed super-delux. The Bears went over the Panther mountain with a 40-O score. Cap- tain Tameron led Superior's defensive by making ninety per cent of the Panther tackles. Good work, Joe. By the way, maybe the Army doesn't have a priority on P-38's. GLOBE Superior, under a handicap of three regulars on the bench, conceded the victory to the Tigers with a score of 6-O. It was a knock-down, drag-out game in which nHarry dcn't feel so good.n Elusive Bargon slipped through Superior defense for the one and only goal. Oh, for some kickers. FLORENCE In our annual rival football game the Panthers started their march by scor- ing three touchdowns--all of which were called back. nhercuryn Ramirez, dodging in and out of the Gophers, carried the pigskin for two of our called back touch- downs. Disgusted and broken hearted, the Panthers' defense slackened which allowed the Gophers to finish the game f?J 20-O. : VHFZSSII MIAMI November ll the Panther rooters witnessed the final game of the season at the Vandal Field. In the early stages of the game the Vandals took the lead and held it until the latter part of the game when the Panthers pushed down the field for two touch-downs, making the score 19-13. In the last few seconds of the game the Panthers reached the scoring territoryg then the gun went off--Time waits for no one! Good luck to the coming team for '45. May they carry on where the team of '44 left off. Our- congratulations to the outstanding players' of '44--Joe Tameron--lst string all Conferenceg 5rd string all-state.

Our season began with two defeats to Miami and Tempe. Our third game, and first victory, was one of our most exciting and evenly'matched games of the year. Five periods had to be played before the victor could be decided. Superior came through winning 26-25. Another outstanding game of the basketball season was the game between Superior and Gilbert on the opponents'court. Trailing by a great margin in the last period, the Superior Five came from Sl-46 to the final 45-52. Even though we did lose, the boys did a grand job. In the district tournament, the Panthers went all the way to the top before being defeated by Gilbert for the Consolation.

The Girls' League organization, which consists of all girls in the high school, has been one of the most active organizations of the school. This is the second year that the Girls' League has existed in Superior High. Its leaders are Anise Mitchell, president, Gloria Gonzales, vice-president, Gloria Mariscal, secretary, and Gloria Trillo, treasurer. One great accomplishment of the year was the writing of the Girls' League Constitution. Some of the year's activities were: Freshmen initiation, a food sale, a formal tea, participation in the Junior Red Gross Campaign, and collect- ing for the March of Dimes. The annual event, Co-Ed Week,was a great success and would have been even greater but for the man shortage. The Girls' League has been very successful this year and we all hope it gets better every year since it is of great service to the girls, the school and the community.
