COMMON DEFENSE

Srdita'iL Mate We have adopted “Education for the Common Defense” as the theme of this 1941 Alchemist. In develop ing this theme we have tried to show how education helps each person make the most of his talents, seeks to educate all the children and all the people, helps prepare people to earn a good living, prepares individ uals to be wise and loyal citizens and recognizes the eternal dignity of hu man personality. *

We think that education is the greatest common defense the Ameri can people have erected or can erect.

Our forefathers paid dearly for the liberty which we enjoy—a heritage that we appre ciate more and more as the lights of liberty have gone out around the world. Liberty in a civilized world is not freedom to do as one chooses. There must be regula tion, but in a democracy the rules we obey are the rules we make. We have witnessed the destruction of civil liberties in many lands. The dread catasrophe of another great war has enveloped Europe. All the intelligence that our nation can master will be required to protect our civil liberties.

II tf-ittauxUncj, Public, &ducatian The United States Office of Ed ucation has estimated that the cost of all schools including the colleges and universities is less than a dime a day for each person of voting age in the nation. When one con siders that this money is expended for the education of over 26 mil lion pupils enrolled in the public schools, the cost does not seem large. The source of the money needed to finance education lies, of course, in the taxes paid by the citizens of our country. We are fortunate to live in a country where school

taxes are considered an- invest ment in human resources. Comparative figures show that a great discrepancy exists in dif ferent states in the amount of money spent for education. In 1938 there was a range of from $28 per pupil in the state spending the least to $148 in the state spending the most. In this same year Arizona spent an average of $100 per year for each of 20,314 high school pupils. We students in Arizona should appreciate our good fortune when we consider our opportunities.

The loyal citizen ap preciate this heritage and seeks to perpetuate it. He shows his gratitude not only with words and symbols but by study and inter action. Experience in democratic liv ing is provided in modern schools. In all grades the schools seek to help us to be good citizens and to grow steadily in the skills and qualities of effective adult citizen ship. We learn to work and play together throughout our educa tional careers. i* a a v.

In school we are given opportu nities to participate in a wide va riety of community civic activities. Possibilities for shaping public opinion are found in the class room, the assembly, personal con tacts, and through student govern ment. From the time we enter school, we are confronted with problems of self-discipline. If pupils respect the rights of others they find that school activities, we come to under stand the necessity of laws for or dered living and why respect for them is essential. We students live, study and ap preciate the American way of life. *

•CLASS OF 1941

The first social event of the school year was the initiation of the Fresh men and the Clemenceau Sophs. These new students were entertained at the Freshman reception which was given by the seniors and mem bers of the Forum. The Senior Hop, held on December 20, marked the beginning of the Christmas vacation. Wreaths, bells, and a large gaily decorated Christ mas tree added to the holiday spirit of the dance. On March 28 members of the sen ior class presented the play, “The Phantom Tiger”, a mystery comedy in three acts. One day in May the seniors for sook the Temple of Learning to go to parts unknown—in other words, Ditch Day came around and the sen iors were AWOL.

Class officers for the first semester were: Virgil Kane, president; Rus sell Jones, vice-president; Ruth Dick inson, secretary; Mary Wright, treas urer; Clara Coleman and Rose Vare la, Forum representatives. Second semester officers were: Russell Jones, president; Ruth Dick inson, vice-president; Clara Cole man, secretary; Jimmy Lewis, treas urer; Mary Wright and Consuelo de la Torre, Forum representatives. Faculty adviser of the senior class this year was Mr. Donald Ensign. Baccalaureate services for the Class of 1941 were held Sunday, May 25. On May 29 Commencement ex ercises brought to a close the high school careers of a group of friends who had enjoyed many years of work and play together.

Petifietuatcncj, 9ndividucd JP.ibz'itieA, Beginning in the early grades with stories of other people the school brings to us the great pag eant of history. An understand ing of the sacrifices of our fore fathers inspires us to preserve the liberties enjoyed in our country, as does the study of the recent tragic loss of liberty in many na tions of the world. Our modern schools emphasize self-discipline which is an es sential of democracy. We find

that our liberties in school are not absolute but are conditioned by the presence of others who have equal rights and privilges. The schools emphasize appreci ation of democracy through study and practice. Knowledge of de mocracy and of the privilege of American citizenship brings about a greater appreciation of our coun try. The schools stress devotion to the American way of life, which seeks to serve the common good. *

STADIUM

cJiuman (le&au'iceA Human resources are a nation’s greatest wealth. The schools of the United States are the principal agency set apart by society for the development of human resources. In school, we learn the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic to which have been added, as the curriculum has been enriched and extended, many other areas of knowledge and skills, such as music, art, home economics, in dustrial arts, physical education, and other expansions of the school program. The schools help to guide the

students in the surveys of the vo cational fields and help them make decisions that are vital. Home and family life are pre pared for in the school. Home life is happier, too, if the wife knows how to cook and decorate and the husband knows how to make house hold repairs. Many of these skills are provided through courses such as home economics and industrial arts. The school seeks to develop good character, honesty and dependabil ity in every pupil throughout the entire range of the program of school activity. *

The Wolves of Clarkdale high school came through the 1940 sea son with two victories, two ties and four losses. But win, lose or draw, Clarkdale students may be justly proud of the men who rep resented them on the football field for the spirit and good sportsman ship they showed throughout the season. The Wolves opened their cam paign with a 26 to 0 victory over the Williams Vikings in a game played at home on September 20. Touchdown honors were shared by Teague, Kane and Thompson, the latter carrying the ball over the line twice. Kane added two extra points by line plunges. The second game of the season was played on September 27 in Flagstaff against the Eagles. Not until the last quarter were the Wolves able to score but came out with a 7 to 0 lead in a closely con tested game. Thompson scored both the touchdown and extra point on line bucks. Plecas and Beltz were outstanding for Clark dale in the line. On October 14 the Winslow Bull dogs journeyed down to Clarkdale to engage the Wolves in a game which will probably go down in the history of Northern Arizona foot ball as the one played under the worst conditions. In a steady

downpour of rain the two teams battled to a scoreless deadlock after playing the entire game in water which started about three inches deep and ended up shin high. The St. Johns Redskins, co champions of the North, took the Wolves into camp on October 12 by defeating them, 13 to 6. The Redskins drew first blood in the second quarter when Overson plunged over for a touchdown from the four-yard line. Clarkdale tied the game up in the third quarter, Thompson climaxing a 75-yard sus tained power drive by plunging over from the two. In the final minutes of the game St. Johns let go a 35-yard aerial for a touch down that gave them the victory. The Lobos’ next game was played in Kingman against the Bulldogs, co-champs with St. Johns for the 1940 season. The Wolves absorbed their worst defeat at Kingman’s hands, coming home on the short end of a 19 to 0 score. The Prescott Badgers, one of the Wolves’ traditional rivals, came to town on October 26 with high hopes of crushing the Clarkdale team but were turned back with a 6 to 6 tie. Prescott’s Alexander started the scoring in the second quarter on a 30-yard dash through entire Clarkdale team. Clarkdale evened the count in the fourth on

a touchdown pass from Thompson to Beltz in the end zone. In the only non-conference game of the season, the Wolves met the Phoenix Indian School Braves at Phoenix on November 1. After they had earned a 7 to 0 lead over the Redskins at half time, the Wolf defense collapsed and the Indians scored two touchdowns to win, 13 to 7. Guillen at fullback was the main gun in the Clarksdale of fensive. The Jerome-Clarkdale game, one of the hardest fought traditional rivalries in the North, was played on Armistice night under the lights of Clark Field before the largest local crowd of the 1940 season. The game was a hard fought affair from start to finish, but a 25-yard touchdown run by Curan of Jerome settled the issue and gave the vis itors a 6 to 0 victory.

H. THOMPSON

Bob Beltz: Sophomore, left end, all-Northern end. Although this was his first appearance in a football uniform, Bob’s ability in snagging passes and blocking the opponents’ in terference was uncanny. It paved the way to his being selected to the all-Northern team for 1940. Arthur “Porkan” Carlos: Senior, end. It’s too bad that this is Arthur’s last season on the squad. His good defensive play will be missed next year.

G. TURNER

Richard “Dick” Daley: Sophomore, end. This is another sophomore with two years experience. He was a hard hitting de fensive end and an excellent pass receiver.

J. TAVASCI

Donald “Greeneggs” Greenwood: Senior, quarterback. This 130-pound quarterback, although handicapped by lack of weight, was one of the brainiest men on the squad and proved to be the outstanding punter on the team. Tony “Surtho” Guillen: Sophomore, right end, fullback. As an end, Tony was an excellent pass receiver and a fine defensive man. When shifted to fullback, Tony proved his worthi ness as a bruising plunger.

S. MEDINA

Bill “Hooley” Haltigan: Sophomore, tackle. Bill is only a sophomore, but this was his second year on the varsity squad. He has good possibilities for making a great tackle for Clarkdale high.

Russell “Tuzzy” Jones: Senior, left half. This speedy halfback could always be depended upon for extra yardage. He was outstanding in broken field running and blocking. We will really miss “Tuz” next season.

STRAHAN

Virgil Kane: Senior, right end, fullback, co-captain. Co-captain Rare was one of the most valuable men on the team this year. His blocking, kicking and fine spirit will be greatly missed next season. Frank Lopez: Junior, halfback. Although Frank was only out half of the season, we know that he will make an other fir.e showing in his one remaining year. Salvador “Sully” Medina: Sophomore, end. His opponents saw plenty of Sully this year and can look forward to seeing much more of him in the next two years. Harold “Beaver-Toot” Montgomery: Soph omore, guard. Monty proved to be the clown of the squad and could always relieve the tension before a game with his comical antics. Tony “Gortho” Moreno: Freshman, center. This 190-pound freshman was really hard to move. In his three remaining years he’ll play a lot of football for Clarkdale.

Steve “Irish” O’Brien: Junior, guard. One of the best place-kickers on the squad, the Fighting Irishman showed the spirit that makes a football player out of a lightweight.

George “Cunado” Plecas: Junior, center, co-captain. George showed plenty of football abil ity this year with his steady blocking and vicious tackling. His opponents will see plenty of this scrappy center next year. Harry Strahan: Sophomore, guard. Although hampered by a shoulder in jury in the latter part of the season, Harry was one of the most aggressive men on the Clarkdale team. George “Red” Siler: Senior, tackle. This hard charging lineman would be a credit to any squad. Red is one of the few boys who have completed the third year out for football. Teddy ‘ ‘Mormon” Simpson: Sophomore, guard. Here’s a boy who will be back next year fighting for Alma Mater, and he won’t be handicapped by lack of experience.

Fred “Porky” Smith: Sophomore, right tackle. When Porky gets mad, there’s bound to be trouble for the opposition. Although Fred is only a sophomore, he was in the starting lineup.

William “Willie” Tom: Sophomore, half back. Here’s a boy with the real spirit. He came out regularly to practice, although he was ineligible. Harley “Dusty” Thompson: Junior, left half. The leading scorer of the 1940 season was this 150-pound junior. We hope he takes up next season where he left off last fall. George “Prescott” Turner: Junior, half back. Turner was always a problem for the first team to stop in scrimmage. This letterman has one more playing year for C. H. S. Clarence “Chuspa” Wellington: Junior, guard. This very little guard was known as the fifth man in his opponent’s backfield. Although handicapped by a trick knee, he was a 48-minute man. Frank “Franko” Wellington: Senior. Although Frank was ineligible, he gave the first squad stiff competition with his great open field running. We are sorry to see Frank leave the squad. Clyde “Wig” Wiggins: Junior, quarterback. Wig is proof that dynamite can come in small packages. His running, kicking and tackling were only overshadowed by his excellent signal calling. Charlie “Toad” Yates: Junior, right guard. Toad, although handicapped by lack of weight, made up for it with his fight and cleverness. This is Charlie’s third year on the varsity squad.

Thirty junior high school boys with gridiron aspirations were out for touch football this year. Playing a six-game schedule, the junior high team, under the guidance of Coach Curtis Cox, finished the season with one victory^ two ties and three de feats. In the junior high conference, in cluding Clarkdale, Jerome and Clem enceau, each team meets the other two twice during the season. In the first game of the season the boys played Clemenceau here on Sep tember 20, losing by an 8 to 0 score. Playing the junior Muckers from Jerome on October 5, Clarkdale held its ground and although unable to score, held the opponents to a score less tie. Prescott journeyed to Clark dale on October 11 and managed to take home a 7 to 0 victory.

In the second round Clarkdale played all games away from home, meeting Jerome first on October 19 in a game that duplicated the first en counter insofar as score was con cerned—again a 0 to 0 tie. Prescott also repeated its first performance and took another 7 to 0 victory on Oc tober 26. As a grand finale, however, the Clarkdale juniors cut loose against Clemenceau in the last game of the season, played on November 1, and won by a decisive 19 to 0. The first Clemenceau and Prescott encounters were played in the even ing as preliminaries to high school games. Others were morning games. Only freshman members of the team are eligible for letters. Those to whom junior “C’s” were awarded are Henry Rodriquez, Darwin Ryan, Dick Mason, Ralph Hites, Fred Guer rero and Billy Hunter.

The Clarkdale point-a-minute men won 14 games and suffered two de feats during the regular season, these two being the aforementioned Pres cott game and a non-conference game played with the powerful Mesa Jackrabbits. On a barnstorming tour of the Salt River valley in December, the Clark dale boys opened their season with a slim win over the Wickenburg Wran glers. The next night they were beaten by Mesa; and, on the next, playing for the third consecutive night on the road, the Wolves de feated Glendale, 32 to 27, in a hard fought game. The Wolves opened conference play on December 21 with a win over the Seligman Antelopes. Clarkdale con tinued by defeating Winslow, Ashfork, Kingman, Williams, Jerome and Camp Verde. Then the Prescott Badgers came to town and snapped the Wolves’ winning streak. Taking up where they left off before the Pres cott game, Clarkdale went on to gain

victories over Winslow, Flagstaff, Prescott and Jerome to wind up their season. Playing one of the toughest sched ules in the history of basketball in Clarkdale High, the Wolves came through with flying colors. Although they were eliminated in the first rounds of the State Tournament, the boys who played may be justly praised for their attitude, for the brand of ball they played and for their fine sportsmanship throughout the season. This year’s squad will be cut in half by graduation and ineligibility. Those who finished their high school basketball careers this season are: Captain Maurice Rosas, Virgil Kane, Donald Greenwood, Gonzalo Leon and Joe Contreras. Varsity regulars re turning next year will be Bob Beltz, Jesus Rodriquez, Frank Lopez, Harry Strahan, Salvador Medina and Tony Guillen. With these boys and many fine players up from the junior var sity and the junior high, the outlook for the Wolves in basketball next sea son looks very bright.

This organization entertained the high school student body at a barn dance on November 29. The audi torium was changed into a corral for the evening, with hay, saddles and even a few chickens to add local color. Western attire, ranging from the hayseed to the Hollywood type, made a picturesque scene. The event was marked as one of the most suc cessful of the year. The Lettermen sponsored a bas-

We find that the United States is the wealthiest nation in the world. We learn that there is an abundance of goods to provide all the people with the material needs

of life. However, we also learn that virgin grasses are skimmed off, forests are diminished, and mineral resources are shamefully wasted. Through the schools and other agencies, the facts and the spirit of conservation are being instilled in the minds and hearts of suc ceeding generations of young American citizens. Conservation is the only way to save the nation from future de cline. *

These three groups consisted of two beginners’ classes and an ad vanced class. The beginners’ classes each met once a week, one on Tues days and the other on Thursdays, seventh period. The advanced group met on Monday evenings at 7:00 o’clock. In the beginners’ classes, Mr. Payne was assisted in teaching the students by members of the advanced group. Joe DeWitt, Ralph Parsley, Mickey

Coke, Marjorie Ann Siler and George Siler all served as assistant in structors. Negative printing, roll developing and picture taking were the major activities of club members. Devel oping paper and chemicals were sup plied by the school. The members fur nished their own films and cameras. During the month of December the advanced class made several differ ent types of Christmas cards with lo cal scenes printed on them. Several sets of these cards were sold to high school students who were not mem bers of the club. Because of the nature of the work there were no officers elected.

Because they say all work and no play will make Jack a dull boy, the Cribbage club was organized this year with the purpose of acquaint ing students with an enjoyable lei sure time activity. The club proved to be very popular. Twenty-three boys met with the club sponsor, Mr. Ralph McBride, every Thursday seventh period. Instruction in the techniques of the game were given at the first of the year as most of the players were beginners, only a few having had any experience. As soon as the members became familiar with the game, they began a round robin tournament which has been con-

★

tinued throughout the year, sev eral rounds being played. At the end of the year Mr. McBride awarded a cup to the player hav ing the greatest number of points. At the time of publication of this book, the winner had not been de termined, but Jack Morgan, Billy Uren, George Turner, Leo Best and Russell Jones seemed to be the most probable candidates. All had in April won more than half of the games which they had played. The members of the club made their own cribbage boards in man ual training. Leo Best was elected president.

Boy Scout Troop 217 led an active life this year under the leadership of Scoutmaster Chet Jones. Of special interest were the many hikes and camping trips. Last spring the troop packed in to Sycamore Can yon. Among the longer camping trips was a five-day sojourn at Mormon Lake last summer. While there the Scouts took side trips to visit Sunset Crater and Lowell Observatory. Troop 217 participated in the pa triotic meeting held in Clarkdale in July. They also assisted in the fire works demonstration at Peck’s Lake on July 4. For the third consecutive year the Scouts’ swimming team won the re lay race at the Prescott meet, spon-

Outstanding social activities were the party in September with the Girl Reserves and the Camp Fire Girls and the dinner given in January for the Scouters. During the football season the Scouts helped in the parking of cars at the football field. A district Court of Honor was held in Clarkdale in May. Forty-two Scouts were registered in November.

Under the leadership of Mr. Adolph Orrantia, Boy Scout Troop 218 engaged this year in a number of interesting activities. A successful project of the troop was the establishment of a work shop equipped with machinery nec essary for manual arts work, in cluding power and carving tools. Last summer Troop 218 made a three-day camping trip to the Grand Canyon and the boys are planning for an extended trip this summer. The locale of this summer’s camp has not been deter mined, but the Natural Bridge in Utah and Tonto Basin are being considered as the most probable destinations.

In sports activities the Scouts have taken a great deal of interest. They were active in basketball dur ing the season and are preparing for soft ball this summer. On April 14 a Father and Son banquet was held. The Mothers’ Club sponsored the banquet. To a large extent the success of Troop 218 is due to the efforts of the members of the Scout Execu tive Committee. Mr. Padilla is chairman of this committee. Patrol leaders are Arthur Juarez, Fred Guerrero and Pablo Rod riquez. Gonzalo Leon is scribe.

On this foundation a great nation has been built. For many, spiritual feeling is en gendered by fine music, by happy homes, by art, by literature, by friends, and through the wonders of nature.

of many backgrounds as the public school. Education builds its program around the individual student, de veloping his talents and directing them to a worthy end. It is a contribution to spiritual life to be acquainted with the great characters of history and litera ture, with works of art, with the outer universe, with the hidden world around us revealed by sci ence, and with the wonders of na ture the human eye can see. The schools seek to bring this great heritage to each pupil.

This three-act mystery comedy, a sequel to “Tiger House,” which was given by Clarkdale high school stu dents several years ago, was pro nounced a dramatic success.

Spiritual seances, ghosts and tiger’s claws added an air of eeriness. Other characters were: Authur

Modern life and industry can not be built upon ignorance. The schools provide us with an under standing of the nature of the world in which we live and with the basic skills and knowledge needed in a complex economic world. A growing percentage of occupations calls for graduation from high school or some more extended training.

Early in our school life we be gin to learn about various ways by which people through school, attitudes are discovered through tests, exploratory courses, and a wide variety of educational ex periences. The schools help to give us a background for the duties and op portunities of the economic world through the social studies, through vocational education, through gen eral personal growth, and in other ways.
