D E D I C AT I O N “Now this is the Law of the jungle — as old and as true as the sky; And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back — For the strength of the pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the pack.” (From “The Second Jungle Book” by Rudyard Kipling)

Because we believe that the strength of the Wolf Pack of C. H. S. depends upon unity, we, the Senior Class of 1940, dedicate this Alchemist to the spirit Kipling expressed in the above Sines.

The school spirit of C.H.S. picked up following the reorganization of the student council early in February. An amendment was made to the constitution, allowÂ ing each class two representatives on the new council, an American and a Latin American. The new council was organized to increase student interest in school management. A series of National Assemblies was purchased early in the year by the school. The programs included presentaÂ tions by a ventriloquist, a radium authority, a marimba player, an animal trainer, and a pottery craftsman. Forum programs were presented by classes that took an interest in assemblies. [ 12 ]

An attempt to initiate the Frosh was the first social function of the Seniors this year; but soon growing tired of the play, they turned their thoughts to other problems. A “Kay Kyser” assembly program, which was directed by Miss Armstrong and Mr. Ensign, Senior sponsors, was presented in December. Usual Senior spirit was put into the Senior Hop Decem ber 22. The auditorium was decorated as the interior of a house at Christmas time. Taken whole-heartedly as were all other Senior events, the play, “Mama’s Baby Boy,” a comedy in three acts, was presented in April. Ditchday in early spring was a surprise to all. A body packed with school spirit and class co-operation was broken up when the Seniors marched for their sheep skins May 28. Baccalaureate exercises were held Sunday,

The Junior class, under the sponsorship of Miss Watson and Mr. Lunceford, first made themselves known publicly with the successful presentation of “Mountain Mumps” on December 8 in Clark Memorial Auditorium. On January 19 the Juniors again appeared with two short comedy skits and music in their annual program in Forum. The crowning event of the year, presented on April 26, was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom given in honor of the graduating Seniors of 1940. The affair was decorated with the theme of Holland.

With characteristic freshman luck, newish Lobos escaped hard initiation last fall. After a few days of half hearted senior attempts to “wield the paddle” on the frosh, the peagreeners came forth and mingled boldly with the upper classmen. Led into forum affairs by their sponsors, Mr. McBride and Mr. Orrantia, the greenies gave their annual St. Patrick dance early in March, later ending their year with a forum program.

Under the leadership of Miss Henson the Eighth grade had a very successful year. The pupils got off to a good start the second semester when they began selling pencils carrying basketball sched ules for 1940. Two candid cameras were raffled later in the year. The Eighth grade surprised the student body April 5, when they gave a masquerade ball, something here-to-fore unheard of in C.H.S. A Forum program was also listed in the year’s events.

With Miss Goodwin as their sponsor, the seventh graders had a varied and interesting program this year. During the first semester the Lobo Cubs had two par ties. Hallowe’en was the occasion for the first, and Christ mas for the second. On February 9 they presented their Forum program. In early spring the spirited group went on a picnic and hike, later ending their year with a May Day party.

Although smaller in number this year than ever before, the Girl Reserves had a fairly successful year. In September the cabinet members met with their sponsors, Mrs. Ralph King and Mrs. Charles Woodruff, to plan a program for the year. On September 27, a picnic was given to welcome new members of the group. The first speaker of the year was the Reverend Mr. Meredith who spoke on personality. The other meetings were devoted to crafts from which the girls learned to knit and crochet. In October they gave a Hallowe’en scavenger hunt and in November Miss Marie Maxwell of the Clarkdale Beauty shop talked to them about make-up. Money for the club was raised by the sponsoring of bridge and tea parties.

The entire scout troop with their scout master, Chet Jones, took a week’s trip to the Grand Canyon in August. Social activities and sports of the year included hikes, basketball and football. The troop financed their trips with money earned by selling refreshments at soft ball games during the summer. Three Eagle badges were awarded at the Court of Honor early this spring.

The Aowakia Camp Fire, organized in October, 1938, with a membership of fourteen, began activities this year with an increased membership of twenty-five. With Mrs. F. M. I rish as Guardian and Mr. C. R. Kuzell and the Rotary Club as sponsors of the organization, the group carried out an interesting program this year. In OctoÂ ber a council fire was held, at which members received their ratings in their ranks. Social functions of the year included a tea, a play, and a luncheon for Ruth Reese. During the latter part of the year the girls hiked to Sycamore Canyon.

DEBATE

With their voices echoing in the halls of C.H.S. the Debate class, now having a pretty good foot-hold on the art of oratory, picked two teams to debate in the annual North ern Arizona Tournament held in Flagstaff on March 16. The credit given for debate this year drew quite a number of students into the class. Ruth Durnez with Conzalo Leon and Russell Jones paired with Donald Greenwood made up the two teams which cast forth their usual display of verbal fireworks at Flagstaff. Ruth and Gonzalo took the Northern championship this year by defeating Winslow in the final round. Oliver Fisher represented Clarkdale at the Republic and Gazette oratorical Contest which was held in Prescott March 19. His subject was the “Corner Stone of American Democracy.”

Losing only two members through graduation, the band is expected to get a good start early next year. The “Hungry Five,” an instrumental ensemble, went to the Northern Music Festival held in Flagstaff as a special feature. The band ended its year by furnishing music at the Commencement exercises.

Appearing at all home football games and once at Prescott, the girls went through a routine of marching, letter forming and counter marches. The Drum Corps made their only appearance during basketball season when the Wolves played Jerome, February 23. To raise money for their uniforms the girls entered into social activities, sponsoring cooked food sales, a style show and a forum dance.

They participated in the Christmas assembly program and sang for several local clubs this year. Traveling to Flagstaff in early April, the boys entered the Northern Arizona Music Festival. They ended their year with programs at Baccalaureate and Commencement services.

Night games played on Clarkdaleâ€™s new lighted field drew record crowds to the football games here last fall. The Wolves played five conference games, winning one and losing four. In non-conference play the boys broke even, dropping one to Mesa and taking a victory over the Phoenix Indians. Eight members of the 1939 first string will not be on hand next fall, but Coach Goddard had a spirited squad of twenty-seven out for spring practice. Letters were awarded to Wilfred Tuotte, Roy Nash, Robert Stout, Bill Hazen, Leonard Hayes, Frank Wellington, Victor Lomeli, Clarence Wellington, Conzalo Leon, Russell Jones, George Plecas, Charles Yates, John Tavasci, and Tony

Guillen. Numerals went to Jesus Rodriquez, Donald Greenwood, Dick Daley, Harley Thompson, Clyde Wiggins, Steve Oâ€™Brien, Danny Dale, Bill Haltigan, Dick Denney, Kenneth Thelan, Salvador Medina, Pete Mendoza, and Raymond Burrus. [ 47 ]

The touch football team of the Junior high school played games within the junior high conference of this district. Two games each were played against Jerome, Pres cott, and Clemenceau, the Clarkdale boys failing to come through with a victory. Because of a rather small turn-out, the junior high squad could not boast a very strong eleven. However, they made up for brawn in a fine display of spirit. Letters were given to the two freshmen members of the team, Carl Hance and Jerry O’Brien.

THE RIDE OF THE CLASS OF "40" Now listen, my children, and you shall hear Of Clarkdale High in that glorious year, Of thirty-nine and of forty, too. When there was plenty to do, let me tell you. Why hardly a student is now alive. Who’s forgotten those days of fancy jive. On the third of September in thirty-nine Students gathered to stand in line. There were thirty-nine seniors who knew it all, And there were fifty-three juniors who came that fall; Seventy-five in the sophomore class And fifty freshmen as green as grass. A pep squad club gathered that year But there is more about it for you to hear: Stamp and Spanish clubs were organized And a Photo club was of great size. Football practice then came, you know, And the boys were sore down to their toes. On the twenty-second was their first game. But it was Mesa’s team who won the fame. Next they met Flagstaff in a great combat And our team stomped them right through the mat. The Junior Hi played football, too, And with Prescott they fought their first game through. On the twenty-sixth of that golden Sep tember, Was the Faculty picnic, don’t you re member? But one month has gone by at last, Say! this year is going fast.

The fifth of October was an elegant day So Bate came to take pictures in his usual way. Now the football team was still practicing you know, So away they went to play Winslow. It was the sophomores who. in the fall that year, Took the volleyball tournament without any fear. Oh, why didn’t I study- they all did shout, 11 was the six weeks’ tests they were yell ing about. The Junior Hi has a sorrowful woe It was because they played Jerome, you know. [ 60 ]

Then their grief was changed to cheer; The pep squad gave their first dance of the year. The football boys’ hair was cut — no lie, But on most of them it was cut too high. The football team went to Prescott to play, But after this game they weren t so gay; The pep squad went over the mountain to cheer, And yell for C. H. S. so dear. The Clarkdale school gave the students a Surprise For the first time a golf club was organ ized. October is gone and November is here It will soon be the end of another year. The Phoenix Indian game was an awful fight And the pep squad turned out to march that night. As had been the custom for many a year American Education Week drew near. As it was November and the eleventh day The football team went on their way To play Jerome in their last great game But their luck of winning was just the same. The most important time was at hand It was the picking of the conference team from the Northern land And — of our men we are proud to say — Three were chosen Northers without delay. Now that football season was over none were really sad In fact there were quite a few (girls) who were really glad. The annual Convention in Phoenix drew Many teachers from the state, including Clarkdale, too. On the twenty-first there was great alarm But then six weeks’ tests could cause no harm — much! The basketball season started with a bang The very first practice gathered all the gang. On the twenty-ninth of November The Boy Scouts gave their dance, you’ll remember. The thirtieth of November was a happy day For the students were turned away From the school house doors for a swell holiday.

THE RIDE OF THE CLASS OF "40" The biggest event of all the year In twenty-five days it will surely be here I suppose you’ve guessed it — Christmas Cheer. The Junior Play was then presented Even though “(Mountain) Mumps’’ it was not resented. The Junior Hi started their basketball season And there’s positively no reason A-nd there’ll be no blame If that season they didn’t rise to fame. Now that the basketball season was in hand The Clarkdale High School started a band. In the halls above the deafening roar The Senior hop was to be held once more. At last the day came they’d been waiting for It was on the twenty-second that the students walked out the door For the Christmas vacation for a few days or more.

From Winslow the score brought a loud hurray. Then they played Flagstaff the very next night And the score “Flag” made there was an unwelcome sight. The assemblies have been neglected in an awful way But the Marimba player was great that day. They had many enjoyable assembly meet ings Coming from the National Assembly greeting. Now the Sophomore dance I’m sure you’ll agree Was very enjoyable and pretty to see. All the girls really did prance For, as you know, it was a leap year dance. That year the Student Body Presidents

When all too soon they came to school again They were shown some pictures by the Park Service man. Now the basketball team was ready for action. They met Jerome and were beat only by a fraction. Next on the list was the Holbrook team And when they won you should have seen them beam. Students and teachers picked Pattie Car lisle As the outstanding girl from C. H. S. To compete in the D. A. R. contest. Now here is something of which he should be proud. Yes, Jack Durham was chosen editor with a vote really loud. Now that it was the beginning of a brand new year The students gave the past a great big cheer. There was quite a commotion in the school and town When Ruthie Reese made her appearance around.

The next two games of the basketball season Made C. H. S. happy and they had a reason For it was Prescott and Mayer they had defeated. The last game was held, and Jerome’s gym was filled And again that night the pep squad drilled. As I was saying, the game that night Was the season’s closest fight, And gave the team third place in the North. Then to Tucson the boys made their way To enter the state tourney’s cage play. Now the first of March there was a Style Show Sponsored by the Pep Squad you know. Finally those Freshmen got over their fright And gave their annual dance one night. The seniors shook for a week and a day, Before they presented their wonderful play, But “Mama’s Baby Boy’’ was a hit, I’ll say. Then came the time for debate teams to

“Since it is February the second,” said they “We are to play Winslow, so we’ll be on our way.”

To “Flag” and really give them a show. On the twenty-second of March that year Everyone got an Easter vacation so dear.

did go To the convention that was held in Pres cott, you know.

[ 61 ]

THE RIDE OF THE CLASS OF "40" Then after their two-day rest The students came back and made ready to go To the academic contest held in “Flag” you know. Now the first event in April was the Music Festival. The music department thought it was the best of all So away they went with high hopes to win. They had these hopes from the beginning. The Drum and Bugle Corps went, too, And showed the rest of the schools what they could do. Then right after the big contest Everyone dressed up in their best For the Wolf Howl dance.

Now April was gone and May was at the half And the Seniors went on ditch day with a laugh. Baccalaureate service was held on the twenty-sixth Then came the class night mix. Then, oh, my goodness, it was there at hand They were going to get the sheep skins they were trying to land. Now listen, my children, don’t be forget ful For if you do you’ll be regretful. So when you have some spare time Read through this calendar of rhyme And remember the good old times Of nineteen forty and thirty-nine. Good bye and good luck . . .

Wanted: More energy by an Editor who has lost all o* his being Editor. More school spirit. A good cheer leader. More friendship among the C.H.S. girls. Success for the Student Council. Will Trade: One-half dozen very fickle ones for one true girl friend —Tubby Hazen. Sixteen credits for a diploma — the Seniors. A lot of well-worn ideas for a Prom for one new one. A lot of blond beauty for a few brains—Odessa Runge.
