DEDICATION With sincere appreciation for his kind, expert guidance during the past four years, the class of 1935 hereby gratefully dedicates this AlÂ chemist to its sponsor, John W. Hey.

TO THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1935: We have now reached another milestone. I say “we” inasmuch as during the past four years I have shared your prob lems with you and have tried to help in time of need. To know that you have been the better fitting yourself in your community and have been laying a good foundation for later life gives to me a satisfaction that you will not stop at this milestone. Whether your lot be college or not, you can make the next four years of vast importance. Hence make your plans now and set out to reach another milestone. As one of your teachers, I wish to offer my congratulations on your graduation. My hope is that I have helped you to find information which has been worth while. As your sponsor and teacher, I wish to thank you for your friendship and cooperation. You have responded readily to my suggestions, and it is with a deep sense of gratitude that I rejoice with you at this time. To the Annual staff may I express my pleasure in having had a part in compiling this book. You have worked long and earnestly in endeavoring to give to the pupils of Clarkdale high school a fitting memory of their achievements. May they appre ciate your work and cherish these memories. Your Sponsor, JOHN W. HEY.

SENIOR ACTIVITIES

Being a Senior is one of the best things in the world. Naturally there have been a few sorrows among the many joys that we have experienced this year.

At the first of the year there was the pleasure of in structing certain under classmen what they could and could not do. Following this law-making, the Freshmen recep tion was given on September 28th, to show that the Fresh men were really wanted. When the football season opened in September, the Senior class was well represented on the team. The class sold various forms of refreshments at the games to obtain money to finance the Senior Hop which was to be given November 16th. It can be said that the Hop was a decided success, as have been all our class functions during our high school career. Work on the Annual was started, and a carnival was held on December 14th to help raise the necessary finances. Needless to say each member of the class had a good work-out but our work was rewarded by a large crowd and cash receipts. By December 14th basketball was getting under way, and the Seniors had some of the best players on the team. The next outstanding event of the Seniors was the Senior play, “The Tin Hero,” given on March 15th. This was a splendid performance, despite the fact that nearly every member of the cast was affected by bad colds and other forms of illness. Following the Senior play, a Variety show was given March 29th in which the whole school participated. Here again the Seniors showed their worth. On April 6th, a group of students attended the Northern Arizona Con test at Flagstaff. Alma Riley gained individual honors; Alma and Paula Tucker sang in the girls’ trio; and Paula Tucker, Alma Riley, Evelyn Warlop, Ann Sullivan, Thelma Smith and Macima Rosas sang in the girls’ glee club. Then followed many days of hard work, by the class and our sponsor, Mr. Hey, for we were selling Annuals, devising schemes by which to make more money to buy more Annuals to sell to more people. But through all of this there was one thought in each of our minds; namely, that great day when we would let out all the “bottled emotions” of the year—the Senior Ditch Day! On this day we left early and returned late; in between times eating much, enjoying ourselves equally as much, and thinking once in a while of those poor pupils that were still under the iron hand. At last we arrived at the parting of the ways where we were a little afraid to think of what the future might hold for us but not reluctant to go out and see what was on the other side of the Mountain. We were Grad uates! We departed leaving not a debt behind us, but plenty of credit.

CLASS PROPHECY In a wild woodland glade, I espied a pretty maid, A gypsy if all signs were true, Casting fortunes in a cauldron’s brew. “Tell me, pretty maid, from your ancient lore, For my classmates what has fate in store.” “Ah! you would know the future in the gypsy wile; I will cast it for you in a more timely style.”

“Many suns away and deep wide waters o’er One will go away to a foreign shore. Yes, ’tis a maiden, Shirley by name, To be a second Curie is her lofty aim. Looking down a vista I can vision bright A new star bursting forth upon the velvet night. Of the actress’s glory telling, P-a-u-l-a the lights are spelling. Who is this that’s dreaming of a football field? Esau, who has worn old C.H.S. long upon his shield. The shrilling whistle breaks the reverie Urging him away from old memory. In a thronged gallery in a city great A wondrous painting hangs in royal state, Signed Ella, modestly and small, A demure Miss many will recall. ’Ere we leave the building let me bid you stay, And follow down the corridor, come turn this way— See that stately statue cut from marble white? That was done by Eleanor. ’Tis a joy to the sight. “Come,” I said, “we must make haste.” “Ah, no, modern lassie, there is time to waste. “Now, let me see who labors on this modern car, Oola, ’tis Michael, you’d know him afar. He is working magic, the car starts with a roar. Yes, he is a Ford man with knowledge all galore. Come, we will now the opera attend, A girl from your old class is starring this week-end. Listen to those notes so lyric and pure. Alma’s classmates all are proud, I am very sure. Can you hear the roar of that mighty plane? Seated at the controls, joe is winging in again. A trusted steady flier of the U. S. Mail, He will bring it safely through any storm or gale. A salon all gleaming white and silver, With lowered lights and fixtures clever. Out steps Cetha in uniform so trim, And asks our business in accents prim. Next door is a pharmacy very new and neat, Plate glass windows shine on Omaha’s main street.

At the beginning of the school year there were forty-six members; twenty-two from Clarkdale and twenty-four from Cottonwood, Clemenceau, and Cornville. The Clemenceau and Cottonwood Sophomores ably supported the Fresh men in painting the “C” and proved to the Seniors during initiation and at the Freshman Reception that they could take it. The Sophomores felt sorry for the Eighth Graders in the box contest, so they donated all their boxes to them, taking no credit for themselves. The Sophomore Christmas Forum Program consisted of musical numbers and several short plays. Julia Huntington and Harold Moody alternated as pianists for the orchestra. In athletics there were several outstanding players. The football players were: Louis Medina, Sam Medigovich, Hilbert Orrantia, and Joe Mongini. The basketball players were: Bob Gonzales, Hilbert Orrantia, and William Moore. But let us not forget the Sophomore Dance, given April 12th. could anyone say the Sophomores are not “real entertainers?

THE FRESHMAN CLASS ACTIVITIES On entering school last fall the Freshmen were well aware of the tasks ahead of them. The class, consisting of thirty-two members, was ably spon sored by Miss Watson. On a hot Thursday afternoon in September, the Freshmen with the assistance of the Clemenceau Sophomores, painted the C. The following Friday evening the Reception was held. Here the “greemes took their “medicine” in due form. The Freshmen showed their ability in dramatics when they presented their Thanksgiving program in Forum. The girls made a place for themselves in athletics by winning the volley ball tournament held in November. The dance, given by the class, March 22, was one of the most enjoyable events of the school year.

CARNIVAL QUEEN At a very successful carnival sponsored by the Senior Class, Ella Triplett was elected Carnival Queen, by a large majority. Ella well deserved the honor and made a pretty queen. The other contestants were Anna Liljenberg, Junior; Billy Duguid, SophÂ omore; and Betty Parsons, Freshman.

TROOP 217, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA Following the end of the last school term, Troop 217 began their summer program. This program was headed by a two weeks summer camp at Camp Old Glory in Oak Creek Canyon. Four regular meetings were held during the remainder of the summer. At the opening of the Fall term of this year, Troop 21 7 attended a Court of Honor held in Jerome on November fifteenth, 1934. Meetings were held regularly during the school year, and other activities were participated in by the troop. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America was cele brated by a Court of Honor held in the Clarkdale High School on February sixth, 1935. Troop 217 was invited to attend First Aid lectures by the Fire Depart ment Instructor, Mr. Roy V. Hersey. A few of the troop took advantage of this and received some very valuable data on first aid, which was explained very capably by the instructor. MR. EARL TWITTY, Scoutmaster.

The Girl Reserve Club of Clarkdale, sponsored by the Women’s Club, has been active for eleven years. A goal towards which all the girls work is attendance of the Girl Re serve Conference which is held at Granite Dells, near Prescott. It is an honor to be able to attend, as the girls selected are those who have helped with the work of the club and have proved to be true Girl Reserves. The Club met every two weeks. Some of the subjects of the many interesting meetings were handcraft, famous women, China, hobbies, music, and First Aid. They also had a box supper, talent night, and a fathers’ banquet. The Girl Reserves wish to express their sincere appreciation to the Women’s Club and to Mrs. McBride and Mrs. Fowler, their advisors, for their help and interest in the club. thirty-four

THE WOLF HOWL *

The Wolf Howl, the student paper of Clarkdale High School, is printed every three weeks by the students. The editors have tried to publish a paper which would include divisions of all student interests. The Wolf Howl now includes the following sections: Editorial, News, Society, Boys’ and Girls’ Athletics, Students and Faculty, Features, Gossip and Jokes.

We exchange school papers with many of the other high schools and the colleges of Arizona. Through this exchange we get new ideas for our paper and learn about the activities of other schools. Through the cooperation of the business houses, we secure advertise ments for the paper. Besides publishing the Wolf Howl, the staff has enjoyed several social functions during the year. The staff for the year has been as follows: Editor—Margaret Ann Hagius. Associate Editors—Shirley Hagius, Julia Huntington, Dorothy Huntington, Drennan Gassaway, Vivian Van Deren, Helen Becchetti, Alma Riley, Loren George, Richard Holly, P. W. Ragle, Jock Gilford, Preston Powell, Morris Payne. Faculty Advisor—Miss Alice Watson. MARGARET ANN HAGIUS

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club won third place this year at the Music Contest at Flagstaff. The Girls’ Trio, composed of Alma Riley, Dorothy Jo Riley, and Paula Tucker, won second place. Dorothy Jo Riley won second place for low solo, and Alma Riley this year again placed first for high solo. Besides partici pating in the contest at Flagstaff, the Girls’ Glee Club took part in the Variety Show put on by the high school. They also sang for clubs, and for the Bacca laureate and Graduation Services. President................. Vice-President ...... Secretary-T reasurer Librarian .................

Preston, the proud owner, is waiting there to serve us, He is neat and dignified and just a little nervous. An ambulance with a clanging bell. The story of an accident is trying to tell. The nurse, in white, so calm and steady, Louise, for emergency, is always ready. In a fair city where nation’s laws are made, Let us rest awhile in a tall tree’s shade. Here we shall see Tommy, passing while we wait; For a Senate appointment he will not be late. In a city of music we wait with the crowd, For a number in the concert, applause is long and loud. Margaret Ann, young conductress, waits with happy smile; With baton she has wrought enchantment for awhile.” “Tell me,” then I asked, “did all leave the west?” “No, we will journey homeward and visit with the rest. “We’ll take this transcontinental bus. Who is the driver? He is waving gaily at us. It is John who was a rover wild and free, Now he tells his countrymen the wonders they will see. In this town among the pines is an official greeter, Let us hurry, maybe we shall have time to meet her. Ah, yes, ’tis the blue-eyed Margaret, who with winsome grace, Directs each weary traveler to his desired place. A sign reads “Los Ranchos son Remudas”; we shall travel there And rest awhile, the gracious hospitality to share. Hugo, the host, I thought it would be he, Like his broad acres, tells of prosperity. I seem to hear the awful din of many, many hammers, Although it is hard to tell o’er the city’s clamors. Philip, high aloft, directing an erection, Will make this massive building an example of perfection. Who is this billed as “Miss Twinkle Toes”? Shall we see at the program’s close? Eva, gay, petite, has taken all by storm, May she always keep her dancing true to form. A polar expedition is forming in New York, George and Loren, going, are madly now at work. They expect to be away at least a year or two; To get ready gives them many things to do. It is sunset time at the ranch among the hills, Mockingbirds wake echoes with melodious trills. Joe, Jesus and Clemente visit through the hours, While shadows gather and dew settles on the flowers. Some one in trim white on a link so green, Expertly swinging, knowing not that she is seen. Peggy turns quickly at your gay Halloo! Then swings, once more, a perfect “follow through.” It is hot at the little desert mission, To work here, really must take vision; Jean and Thelma are happy to explain You forget the desert when you deal with pain. thirty-six

At a wayside service station, Like hundreds o’er the nation, Honking horns keep Tony on the run, Still he whistles like everything was fun. “Oh, can’t you hurry? I can hardly wait To see if all have left my native state.’’ “We stroll awhile on the campus of the U. of A. Riotous color tells us home coming is in sway. Helen and Ann are here, striving for a M.A. degree; With their industry how successful they will be. Back in the valley of the Verde, where we find Some of us who were content to be left behind. Balis owns a prosperous, busy lumber yard. David, his assistant, is working very hard. Where a cottage is vine covered and the roses are full blown In Clarkdale where you visit are Macima and Yrone. They ask about the others and invite us in to tea Where you talk of the old classes in Home Ec. and “Jometry.” We see a familiar face in the old Clarkdale hall, She smiles at us and comes at our call. It is Margaret who is teaching English I, Don’t you wish you were a student? Wouldn’t it be fun? You see many reminders as you stroll along the street. Clara, who is a school nurse, passes on winged feet. Evelyn, young reporter for the Daily News, Chats awhile and asks your political views. ’Tis dark,’’ the gypsy said, “now I must be leaving; Hours have flown while prophecies I’ve been weaving. Though you question your own fate, that I will not tell, You must work it out yourself or ’twould break the spell.’’ With a dainty curtsy and a little smile The gypsy left me in the woodland wild.

FOOTBALL CLARKDALE VS. INDIANS Showing strength and plenty of grit, the Wolves opened the season, on the home gridiron, Sept. 21, with a nonconference game against the strong Phoenix Indian team. A remarkable defensive game was played by both teams; the result was a scoreless tie. CLARKDALE VS. FLAGSTAFF For the first conference tilt the Wolves journeyed on Friday, Oct. 5, to Flagstaff. Encountering an unexpected brand of ball, the Maroon and White boys were completely played off their feet. Long sweeping end runs and passes gave the Eagles their large score of 32-0. CLARKDALE VS. HOLBROOK The next game came on Oct. 3, with Holbrook at Holbrook. Clarkdale threatened the opponent’s goal more than once but the ’’breaks” weren’t there, and the game ended with a 7-0 score, Holbrook scoring in the last two minutes of play. CLARKDALE VS. WINSLOW Fighting one of the hardest battles of the season, the Wolves met the Winslow team on Oct. 20, at Clarkdale. This was another game, which looked like a winner, Clarkdale being close to the “land of milk and honey” several times but the game ended with a 0-0 score. CLARKDALE VS. KINGMAN The only game of the season from which the Wolves emerged victorious was that played with Kingman, on the Kingman field. The boys were somewhat slow in getting started, but finished victorious with a 1 3-7 score. CLARKDALE VS. PRESCOTT After one or two changes in the line up, the Wolves were ready to meet the Prescott Badgers. In this game the boys showed signs of fight and ability. Prescott s lone score came in the second quarter, Clarkdale held but could not push the pigskin over in the two remaining quarters. CLARKDALE VS. JEROME The Armistice Day game was played before a large crowd. Both teams fought hard, but again Clarkdale came out on the short end of a 32 to score. forty-three

BASKETBALL Basketball prospects looked rather gloomy at the start of the 1935 season, but after much work and drill, Coach Lunceford was able to tune up a group of leather tossers that were later found hard to beat. The Wolves played nine conference games, winning eight. Four non conference games were lost to teams at the Northern Tournament and in the Southern part of the State. In December the Wolf quintet journeyed to Phoenix where on the 13th and 15th they dropped two games to the Phoenix Indians and on the 14th one to the Litchfield five. Returning home, the boys set out to win the Northern Conference by defeating the Camp Verde Cowboys. The Wolves were excited but took the lead and were never threatened again in that game. Next in line came the highly touted boys from the Mile High City. Although the Wolves were ahead in the early part of the game, the Prescott Badgers came from behind to take a one point lead at the end of the third quarter. With only two minutes left to play Clarkdale scored the last and winning basket, making a score of 20 to Prescott’s 19. Only once in a conference game were the Wolves smothered by a bar rage of field goals—that being in the Jerome game. Since the Muckers could not miss and the Wolves could not hit the basket, the result was that Clark dale came out on the short side of the score. However, the Clarkdale casaba men were not discouraged, and managed to avenge themselves by defeating for the second time the Prescott hoopsters by a larger score than in the previous encounter. The two following weeks found Clarkdale steadily climbing to the top of the Northern Conference ladder, having ascended two more steps by defeating Mayer in two games. Despite the valiant efforts of the Mayer boys the Wolves were not to be stopped and came out victorious. The Clarkdale hoopsters, more determined than ever, again met and defeated the Cowboys from Camp Verde. The game was played evenly until the third quarter when the Wolves made their final attack and took the lead which they kept to the end of the game. A journey to Williams the “Maroon and White.’’ but the Lunceford cohorts Wolves took the game by a

and Seligman resulted in two more victories for The Williams team played a good brand of ball, were displaying an excellent defense, and the larger score than expected.

The Seligman boys made the Wolves step out and do their best. In the third quarter the Wolves were behind, but Gonzales, lanky Wolf center, began to sink them and saved the day. The boys were happy because this was the last conference game of the 1935 season. The “Maroon and White’’ next went to the Northern Tournament at Flagstaff. Here they defeated Camp Verde in the first game only after playing an extra period of five minutes. In the following tournament game the Wolves were badly defeated by the strong Round Valley team, who won the Northern Arizona Tournament. forty-six

VOLLEYBALL The girls’ athletic school year started with volleyball. An interclass tournament was held in the early part of November. In the two preliminary games the Seniors played the Sophomores and the juniors played the Fresh men. The Sophomores and Freshmen, who won these games, competed for the championship. The Freshmen won out by a score of 42-17. The Seniors challenged the champions, but the Freshmen continued to hold the champion ship. Though a varsity team was chosen, there were no outside games played. The varsity team was composed of the following: Eva Minerich, Louise Rucker, Cruz Contreras, Lucile Neilson, Ruby Carson, Anna Liljenberg, Mar garet Rucker, Rose Juarez, and Paula Rodriguez. Mary O’Brien, Eleanor Lay, and Macima Rosas were substitutes.

BASKETBALL During the basketball season the Seniors came into their element. They easily won the preliminary game with the Sophomores by a score of 22-0. In the Junior-Freshman game, the Juniors were victorious with a score of 22-12. The final game was played between the winners of the two prelimi nary games. The Seniors continued to hold their high standing, winning the inter-class championship by a score of 30-14. The following girls made the varsity team: Eva Minerich, Louise Rucker, Yrone Varela, Launette Coggins, Arlene Fergus, Anna Liljenberg, Darlyne Sefton, and Margaret Rucker.

PLAY DAY FOR HIGH SCHOOL A play day for high school girls of northern Arizona, sponsored by the Women’s Athletic Association of Arizona State Teachers’ College, was held in Flagstaff May 4th. The Clarkdale high school girls entered the following events: Baseball, running broad jump, high jump, 50 yard dash, relay, base ball throw, basketball throw, and shot put.
