Mingus Celebrates 20th Anniversary

NEW ADDITION SPARKS PRIDE UNIFIED IN 1959, Mingus Union High School has experienced a world of growth in its twenty years. 1978 will mark that completion of those twenty years. Mingus Union’s school district en­ compasses over 600 square miles, and it is com­ prised of the old Clarkdale, Jerome, and Cotton­ wood school districts that served the Verde Valley during the mining and smelter days. At one time, Mingus Union used the old Clark­ dale High School, and, most recently, the four building campus in Jerome was utilized up until the 1972-73 school year. It was then that Mingus oc­ cupied its present plant in the more centrally loca­ ted structure in Cottonwood at the intersection of Old State Highway 279 and Fir Street. During the Fall of 1976, voters in the Mingus district passed a bond election on the third at­ tempt that provided Mingus students with classroom additions that allowed for a six-period day instead of the previous eleven-period day schedule. Any future expansion and improvements for Mingus would probably concern paving existing parking facilities, beachers and lockers for the

6

Cottonwood football and baseball fields, more storage for maintenance and transportation, and more all-around improvement on landscaping. The three photographs on this page show some of the major stages involved in building the West addition to Mingus Union, Not only was a large building constructed, but the shop’s vocational area was expanded as too were the locker facilities for physical education for boys and girls both. The first photograph shows the first stages fol­ lowing ground breaking. Deep holes are dug to contain the foundation and columns for support. In the second picture the cement is poured, and the columns are poured in place over large quanti­ ties of high-gauge reinforcement bars for concrete work. Photo number three depicts the lattice work of metal cob webs that eventually comprise a form in which high grade concrete is poured to harden and become the roof for the entire structure--a roof of solid concrete.

IN THE JANUARY 12, 1978, Board of Education meeting, Mrs. Kate Woodruff of Sedona was elected president of the board, and Mr. Tom Bell of Clark­ dale became the clerk. Mrs. Woodruff has served on the board since the 1973-74 school year, while Mr. Bell is serving his second year for the board. Mingus board members contributed their time to attend various school board workshops at Mingus dur­ ing the regular working day. They are a concerned group—concerned with the education Mingus students receive, and they care about the extra-curricular ac­ tivities provided through the various clubs and sports programs. It is not an easy job being a school board member. There are no paychecks to cash, and there are seldom

any awards presented to them until they leave, die, or retire from the board. And sometimes it may seem that someone is mad at them for one reason or an­ other. But regardless of all that, there are benefits to reap from the position. Speaking plainly, the biggest reward has to be the satisfaction from doing the job and doing it well by placing aside any personal pre­ judices to do what each member deems necessary for the good of the school and its students in all fairness. True, the board members’ jobs are not envied, admired, or easy. But, above all, it is certainly re­ spected and necessary to the leadership, guidance, and success of any high school by those who really care.

year of growth is characterized and its meaning visualized with this picture of the new communications and bell system in the main office. When a bond election passed last school year, approximately sixteen new

classrooms were added to Mingus' existing structure to provide students with a seven period day, including the Early Bird class, instead of the previous eleven period schedule.

STUDENT COUNCIL'S MAIN goal is working at spirit and get足 ting students involved. That is just what they did with the Get Acquainted Dance. The dance was labeled a success and it strongly encouraged students to attend the upcoming activities. Other activities included Homecoming, the Christmas dance, King and Queen of Court and its dance, and the end of the year school dance. Student Council also organized Powder Puff football, and some members even participated in it. Student Council managed to think "money" along with spirit. They purchased a chrystal ball light decoration which was used for last year's prom. To help raise money the council rented out the decoration for different activities sponsored by the other classes. In December there was a con足 vention held in Tucson for student councils all over the state. Four of our students attended this con足 vention and experienced the many workshops. They also re足 turned with more ideas for spirit, participation, and organization; all of which enabled them to achieve the successful year they experienced.

Mingus FBLA Anticipates Third Consecutive State Championship

FOR THE SECOND straight year Mingus FBLA was the State champion. Some of the outstand­ ing achievements the FBLA had last year were: winning Yavapai County Championship, Northern Arizona Championship, and State. At the National Champion in Denver, Mingus won the most individual honors of any high school in the nation. Individual honors went to: Cindie Hubiak, 10th for Miss FBLA; Wendy Sloan, 6th for Economics; Donna Greisenbeck, 9th for shorthand-1; all placing well in the national competition. FBLA makes most of their own funds through advertising they sell in football and basketball programs. Homecoming mums, candy grams, and bake sales are among other activities. Various classes of competition for FBLA members include busi­ ness skill areas, typing, clerical work, spelling, shorthand, and accounting.

MINGUS UNION'S HERO chapter (Home Economics Re­ lated Occupations) experiences its first year. The club is sponsored by Miss Bobbi Rolan, who is also new to Mingus Union. Miss Rolan was also a HERO sponsor at West High School in Phoenix. The club has quite a few money making projects such as: bake sales, roses for Valentines, car washes, banners, carmel ap­ ples, Christmas stockings, and quite a few more. The conferences HERO at­ tends are at Arizona State Univers­ ity in Phoenix. There are short sessions on service projects, Leadership, Parliamentary pro­ cedures, fund raising, and club activities to help the community. There is also a regional session for all clubs within their region to get together to get to know each other and plan activities for the future. This club is great for students who are working and need to get to know a little more about the world of work.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY found themselves with more members. There were 33 members, which was 11 more than the previous year. One of the main goals of the club was to raise money for a scholarship to be pre­ sented to a senior at graduation. A fall initiation which included a candle lighting ceremony was held for all the new members as they were pledged into the society. The officers were also sworn in during this late October meeting. Another fall activity was a picnic which was held in early November at Potato Patch campground on Mingus Mountain. The purpose and basis of this club is to stimulate scholarship, promote en­ thusiasm for service, encourage leader­ ship, and to encourage development of character.

SAE (STUDENT ACTION FOR EDUCATION) is primarily for education­ al purposes but that doesn't mean that they can not have fun. Sponsor, Miss Ruth Wicks, accompanied the mem­ bers on their fun trips that included Phoenix for the state meet. There they discussed educational issues. They also visited Rainbow Acres in Camp Verde and the Verde Valley Learning Center. These trips were made possible by SAE’s annual walkathon, which was an­ other big success. Top runners in the walkathon were Steve Knowles for the boys and Nancy Handverger for the girls. After learning more about SAE, one can readily see that it is a good cause. Their members worked very hard and deserve much credit.

Autoshop Sets High Standards Autoshop has been working very hard in developing their skills in the great mechanical world. The students were involved in engine tune-up and chassis lubrication processes. The classes are becoming very advanced with modem equipment installed. Therefore, the studentswill naturally become more advanced. When this school year started the auto class was invaded by only two girls. Mr. Lozano isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad looking, ladies, he just used the same tone of voice to everyone. This voice means everyone should please listen. If more girls took autoshop, there would be less chance of them getting stranded alone on a lonely road. So please, girls, just try autoshop and see if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prosperous. All of the students may bring their cars in to work on them at least three times per week. The rest of the time is spent on class room activities such as speck book manuals, electrical readings, and basic engine functions. There is great stress on the proper safety procedures while working on vehicles.

Anthony Lozano

MR. ANTHONY LOZANO has organized the most educational and vocational program for stu­ dents in the past years. This class proved to be very prosperous to many students. Mr. Lozano has saved them money by helping them along the mechanical bumps. These bumps, which could be costly, are very inex­ pensive because of his assistance. The new machines which have been installed in the new building are very complicated, but Mr. Lozano is very qualified in all these fields. So in the future it will be very helpful to organize the use of the equipment to eliminate the danger involved. But as I’ve always said, there is always a certain person who will help out anyone with problems because he cares about kids, not about their learning ability. He says, "The ability to learn will come with the student-teacher relationship. " Mr. Lozano, I and many other students thank you for your great interest in our learning skills. (Casey Osborne )

THERE IS SOMETHING new with the Spanish Club, an advanced class. This class was de­ signed for third year Spanish students. Advanced students trek to Mazatlan, a beautiful resort in Mexico. This trip was planned for after gradu­ ation. And this wasn’t the only trip they took; They also went on the annual camping trip. This particular trip was for all the Spanish stu­ dents who sold lightbulbs and paid the monthly dues, the main source of money for the trip. The Mexico excursion alone makes Spanish Club worthwhile because the students can prac­ tice their Spanish in real life experiences. Be­ sides that, the fun of the vacation can’t be described in words. Mr. Ralph Kurtz should be given much credit for his time and effort, because the trip couldn’t be made without him. Another man that should receive credit is "Don Juan" Tavasci, who supplies the transportation for all their trips.

The money raised went toward sending deserving female athletes to summer camps to further their athletic ability and knowledge. The WAC’s representative for the $2000 scholar­ ship offered by WOMEN’S SPORTS Magazine was to be chosen by Billie Jean King. The Mingus delegates for this was Erie Mulford, who was selected by a faculty vote.

THE CITIZENS' FOUNDATION For Further Educa­ tion, formerly known as Dollars For Scholars, is a community organization of the Verde Valley that loans money to deserving college students of the area. Their objective is to raise money for repayable grants, stimulating a moral obligation to repay the loan when the student finishes his schooling. This recycles the money and allows larger grants for the future needs of students as college costs increase. Originally founded in 1961, the Foundation has raised and distributed approximately $65,000. Various community organizations sponsor fundraising activi­ ties to contribute more funds to the cause. During the first weekend in April the Rotary Club handles a day-long radio-thon auction, where merchant-donated items are auctioned to the public over radio station KVIO. On that same day, the Kiwanis Club sponsors a pancake breakfast at the Cottonwood Civic Center, and the Cottonwood Civic Club does the luncheon. Douglas Kell, formerly of Jerome and now of

26

Tucson, was one of the original founders. Current members include: President, Rev. Frank Cartwright of Clarkdale United Methodist Chruch; Secretary, Mrs. Len Smoogen, a housewife; Treasurer, Philip Balamenti, Assistant Manager of the Cottonwood branch of First National Bank of Arizona; and mem­ bers: Vernon Burrell, owner of Cottonwood Western Auto; Ruth Ann Haenny, librarian of Cottonwood Junior High School; Roger Kirschman, General Manager of Cottonwood Mountain Bell; Harold Toms, Principal of Mingus Union; Ruth Wicks, Guidance Counselor at Mingus Union; and Mac von Braun, a retail liquor merchant in Sedona. One nice thing about the entire scholarship foundation is that the total community is given the opportunity to contribute services and/or merchandise to the project. Mingus Union students aid the cause with the Powder Puff Football Derby that annually raises approximately $400.

The club is only participating in intrascholastic compe­ tition because time and money have not been previously budgeted to allow the chess club to travel to tournaments at other schools. The club consists of a half a dozen or more members and hopes to get more people interested next year.

Omega Productions is extremely grateful for his past ef­ forts and successes as he helped found the club. Omega’s main objective is promotion of quality drama. They are doing this through newspaper articles, radio announcements, and advertisements.

MINGUS UNION'S YEARBOOK, HI-LO, was hampered by incom• plete building construction early in the year, but once the darkroom was completed near the end of October the darkroom technicians tackled an immense pile of fifty rolls of film to process and edit. The theme is "life's little mo­ ments. " And the yearbook staff certainly had its share. Of Mingus Union's twenty volumes of yearbooks, advisor Daniel L. Hatch has directed five of them for twenty-five percent. It is rumored that he celebrated his fifth yearbook with a fifth. Co-Editors Valerie Hatch and Misty Sellers responded to the call of dedicated production and through team and individual effort com­ pleted roughly half of all the total pages.

ARIZONA MODEL UNITED Nations is a simulated exercise that is designed to give high school students a basic under­ standing of the realm of inter­ national politics. Mingus Union's delegation of students represented Angola and the United Arab Emirates, which was assigned to them at a conven­ tion held in Tucson. Through Mingus' participation, our students obtain a broader understanding of the countries that are members of the U. N. and role-play the as­ sumed political positions of those countries. The main thing the Mingus representatives receive from this activity is a basic understanding of the outside world. They are exposed to it and all the frustrations that accompany international political feelings. Our students assume the viewpoints of the re­ presented countries.

THE CHEERLEADING SQUAD participated in a summer camp held at Northern Arizona Univer­ sity in Flagstaff. Six Mingus Varsity cheerleaders attended. They learned many new cheers, how to prepare pep assemblies, and learned mounts. The girls included Arlene Atkison, Julie Rome, Misty Sellers, Kathy Polewytewa, Michelle Michael, and Cindy Meier. Attending from the J.V. squad were Suzy Martinez, Desiree Rome, Jeannette Zepeda, and Kelly Wichmann. During the Homecoming week the cheer­ leaders had class competition by selling paper chains for a nickel apiece. The first place fin­ ishers were the Sophomore class who received 25 dollars for their geat effort. With the money raised by the chains they held a dance. Steve Bruce & Band preformed which turned out a big success. They also sold chance tickets for an afghan which was made by their sponsor Miss Karen Weaver. All proceeds went toward new uniforms and to help in sending some of the cheerleaders to summer camp. Although the cheering program was smaller, that didn't mean they didn't get the job done. Besides cheering on our teams during football and basketball season, they performed pep assemblies.

Senior-Freshmen Team Wins 21-8

THE SENIOR AND FRESH­ MEN girls proved to be just to much for the Junior and Sopho­ more players as they slaughtered them 21 to 8. The exciting annual contest was played at Clarkdale’s Beale Field before an active and emo­ tional crowd of supporters. Foot­ ball coaches of the faculty officiated the game and varsity boys football players acted as coaches for the feminine athletes. All proceeds from the game were collected by Student Coun­ cil and donated to the Dollars For Scholars fund.

Band Displays Improvement And Enthusiasm

THE BAND’S BIGGEST change was a new music Director, Mr. Ernie Power, who came to Mingus from Tuba City’. The enthusiasm and splendor with which the band has recently shown is credited to Mr. Power. The band’s playing for both the Basketball and Football teams during each home game made the school’s spirit sky high. They headed down to Tempe for ASU Band Day and did a fantastic job and were

ranked "excellent" in their competition. Before Christmas break the band performed well in presenting their Christmas program. Some activities in which the band were to participate included a Spring Concert and a Spring Band Festival. It was a very profitable and fulfilling year for the band overall.

Victor Escoto and Jan Wood earned the title of 1977 Home coming King and Queen through an election by the entire Mingus Union student body. The royalty announcement came at half­

time of the Phoenix Indian Brave’s game which Mingus won 21-8. Victor scored one touchdown in that game. Jan has been a Mingus cheerlead­ er all of her four years.

AS THE HOMECOMING game between Mingus and the Phoenix Indian Braves drew near­ er, the spirit and enthusiasm of Mingus grew stronger. The Fresh­ man, Sophomore, and Junior class attendents were chosen. The Senior attendents were highspirited and awaiting the time when they would know just who would be the Homecoming King and Queen of 1977. The bonfire was raging and the spirit glowing as the cheer­ leaders cheered, the Pom Pon girls pommed, the band played, players gave speeches, and everyone yelled for victory at the bonfire on Wednesday night. Thursday afternoon found many people joining in the spirit of Homecoming by watching the parade through Cottonwood. The attendents rode in the parade in convertibles. Each class present­ ed its float, and while the sun did its best to make it a nice day and the parade a big success the Sophomore float was awarded first place. With that, the streets cleared as the parade ended and everyone went home to prepare for the big game which was to start at 7:30. Many people attended the Homecoming game. The feeling of pride covered the crowd. The players were prepared to play a good, clean game. Half-time came with Mingus in the lead. The Senior attendents held the crowd in suspense as to who would reign as King and Queen. Little Kristy Abrams and Christopher Emmons presented the crown and pewter stein to former board member John Tavasci to award it to the royalty. The crowd quieted and the names were called: Jerry Patterson and Kim Johnsen were second runners-up, Casey Osborne and Beth Paxson were first runners-up. Finally, Victor Escoto and Jan Wood were named as the 1977 Homecoming King and Queen. The evening closed with a football victory for Mingus as they beat the Phoenix Indian team 21 to 8.

Class Pride Awards

THE YEARBOOK STAFF found an extra page or two and decided that it should be filled with exceptionally beautiful people. So each of the four Mingus Classes held an election to determine its two class pride representatives of charm, personality, and, of course, smiling ability. Each class nominated several favorites of each gender and then voted as a group. The two who re­ ceived the most votes were paired off, and they appear here for all to see.

THE FOOTBALL TEAM was full of spirit. They may not have done well in the winning column, but they did well in the record books. The team’s only win came late in the season against Phoenix Indian at Homecoming. Two of the team's seniors really shined that late October night when they, Victor Escoto and Andy Thorne, made the only three touchdowns of the game. Victor's run was about 56 yards, and Andy ran for a 35 yard touch­ down. Some of the records set were by Juniors, Russ Kort and Ben Miller; and Senior, Andy Thorne. Russ took his place in the record books at number two for pas­ sing. He passed for 481 yards with 36 completions out of 84 attempts. Ben became the top single season pass receiver with 19 receptions for 304 yards. Andy fin­ ished the season as the 4th best single season rusher.

He rushed for 646 yards and finished as the 5th best all time rusher. Many members of the team made an "All-Con­ ference" position. They were: Charles Allen, 2nd team all conference middle guard; Steve Box, 2nd team all conference center; Jerry Patterson, 2nd team all conference offensive guard; Doug Michael, 1st team conference offensive guard; Casey Osborne, 2nd team all conference defensive back; Monte Ricca, 2nd team all conference offensive end; and Andy Thorne, 2nd team all conference running back. Loy Bowman was placed on the 1st team all conference squad as a punter. For the season, Loy punted a 65 and a 70 yard punt. Another accomplishment over last year's team was to reduce the five shut-outs of '76 to only two.

THE 1977 MARAUDER volleyball team suc­ cessfully defended its A-West Division title with an inspired performance at the Page Divisional Tour­ nament. After losing in the first round to a favored Mohave team, the Marauders demonstrated tre­ mendous poise and desire by defeating every team in the division in one day, beating Mohave twice for the tournament championship. Three Mingus players, Kathy Eaton, Julie Lucian, and Shelly Godown, were selected first team All-Division. The Marauders posted a 16-5 season record and gave coach Jim Short his 30th victory against just 8 defeats in his two years in the volleyball program. With five of the eight varsity letterers return­ ing, it looks like a good year for Mingus in the AA ranks for 1978.

MINGUS JUNIOR VARSITY volleyball team finished its sec­ ond successful season in a row with a 6-4 win-loss record. This gave the Junior Varsity a 16-6 record in two seasons and has provided the Varsity program with experienced athletes who know how to win. Sharon Vrieling, with her tremendous height was a great as­ set to the J.V. team. Candy Doka, another member of the Junior Varsity team, also did an excellent job for the Min­ gus team.

THE JUNIOR VARSITY Badminton Team experi­ enced five losses in as many matches. Badminton has experienced great success in recent years, but, cur­ rently, things have not progressed as well. Few ath­ letes really consider badminton to be as challenging and as beneficial as other sports. This is a false be­ lief, as real badminton players know that endurance is a common-place word in the sport and is necessary for success. At any rate, it is a shame to see a program come to a close, but badminton has experienced its last year. When any program ends, it is usually only temporary. Once it lies dormant for about one or two seasons the interest tends to build and increase until the program comes to life again, and the athletes once again crowd the playing field and pour out the sweat and effort of true team spirit and pride. Let us hope that like the great Phoenix bird, Min­ gus badminton rises again in the near future.

BADMINTON HAD A disappointing season, how­ ever it wasn't due from a lack of effort or attitude. The girls really tried hard, but they just couldn't get it together. One half of the girls would play well one game, and then the other half of the girls would produce in another game. Consistency is one of the main necessities in a sport. The girls record was 0-5, which brings out an­ other point; with only five matches in a season a team really doesn't have enough time to mature. All-in-all the girls did have fun. Many thanks to Miss LeVering for the time and effort she put into Badminton.

THE MINGUS CROSS COUNTRY Invitational was sponsored by the Verde Independent, and it was Mingus’ first invitational. Fifteen teams par­ ticipated, which featured about 300 top runners from all over Arizona. Mingus placed 7th by taking 22nd, 28th, 29th, 35th, and 52nd places by Bob Woods, Mike Silven, Chris Cooka, Clinton Coleman, and Mike Sepulveda respectively. Mingus girls did well placing 6th out of 12 teams. The top two runners for Mingus were Laurie Ehlhardt and Heidi Emmons who placed 19th and 23rd respectively. Some of the other girls running for Mingus included Robin Smith, Annette Cooka, Ginny Bell, Roxanne Judd, and Nancy Handverger. The boys’ dual-meet record was 5 wins, 2 losses. The most exciting meets were against Prescott, Flagstaff, and Phoenix Indian. This was the first time the Mingus team beat both Prescott and Flag in the same season. At Phoenix Indian, Bob Woods broke their course record which was held by former Marauder Jeff Polewytewa. Woods beat it with a time of 15 minutes 37 seconds, clipping the old record by only 7 seconds. Mingus won the meet 27 to 28.

The Most Improved Runner Award went to Dan Peterson who decreased his time by 3 minutes 20 seconds for the Marauder course. The Tavasci Mileage Award, donated by Mr. John Tavasci, was captured by Mike Silven who ran 650 miles for the entire season. MINGUS

Girls Cross Country Bigger And Better ■

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY had a great season. The team had twice as many participants as last year. They were more experienced and better than before. Even though the team had seven constant runners, Coach Alvey said that they had to work for it because of the participation of all the girls. The turnout for this season was the girls duel meets which ended at 3-4 with one perfect score of 15. They also had competed in two invitationals, placing second out of eight in the Peak’s Invitational in Flagstaff, and sixth out of twelve in the Mingus Invitational.

MINGUS STARTED THE season with a close game against Winslow. The Marauders came out on top with Randi Blair the leading scorer with 14 points. George Cranmer and Loy Bowman scored 10 points each. Winslow came back to over-power Mingus on Winslow’s home court later in the season. Mingus gave the Holbrook Roadrunners a rough time but lost their first game of the season while Blair scored 18 points. Howard Thornton had 15 and Cranmer hit for 14. Hope was not all lost after that game, as the boys came back with a win over Coconino. High scorer was Bowman with 16 points, followed by Bobby Wood's 15 and Blair's 14. The high scorer in the rematch on the Coconino court was Thornton with 24 points. Not only did Mingus whip Coconino twice, but they also stayed on the ball by upsetting Flagstaff at Flag and on our own home court. Revenge was sweet, as in previous years both Flag and Cocino used to dominate the Marauder five. Mingus placed fifth in the Globe-Miami Copper Cities Tournament. The first night we played Snowflake and experienced our second and third losses, the other to Nogales. But the team came back the last night with an overwhelming win over San Manuel, 82-68. Cranmer accumulated 20, Woods had 16, Thornton had 15. The Marauders split the next two games with Apache Junction, who edged us out of the State Tournament in the first round. Leading Mingus in the home game was Thornton with 14; high scorer at Apache Junction was Bowman with 17. At State, Blair hit for 10. The home’game and first game the boys played at Divisional was against second-ranked Page. Page proved to be easy wins. Mingus managed a commanding

lead of nearly ten points the first time and 12 the second. The top scorers of both wins were Cranmer with a phenomenal 22 points and Thornton's outstanding 20 points. i Mingus was squeaked by Mohave in a closely matched "nerve racking" double overtime in the Marauder gym. Mohave was one of the toughest teams Mingus faced all season. We led most of the game, then it was a battle to the finish. Mingus was still tied with the Thunderbirds at the end of the first overtime. The Marauders held Mohave at a standstill until the very last few seconds when the T-birds scored the last basket of the game. The boys had to compete against Mohave at Divisional for the number one seed. Cranmer was top scorer in both contests with 21 and 17 points. Mingus slid by T\iba City in a single overtime that was no pushover. Thornton had 19 for Mingus. Near the end of the season, we clashed with the Parker Broncos. In that battle Thornton collected a miraculous 25 hard earned points. Another one of the hardest teams Mingus faced was Class B Williams on the Marauder court. Earlier, Williams had stomped Mohave, Flag, and Coconino. The Vikings had no easy time with us. Our boys played one of their best games, but lost as Thornton dominated with 14 points. The Marauders ended the season that was their last in Class A with a 13-10 record, as they advance to the Class AA rankings next year. Cranmer made 1st Team All Conference, Yhomton was placed on the 2nd Team, and Blair and Woods combined to earn Honorable mention awards.

Junior Varsity Compile 2-8 Record

Junior Varsity Wrestlers include, First Row: Mike Cmkovich, Weston Barrett, Scott Shepard, Mark Woodbum, John Vigil. Second Row: Tom Pritchard,

THE JUNIOR VARSITY Wrestlers consisted mostly of Sophomores and Freshmen, and compiled a 2-8 record, which is pretty good for aJ.V. team. Many of the Junior Varsity wrestlers were talented. In com­ petition they gave some of Varsity matmen a run for their money. These young grapplers showed much dedication towards wres­ tling; they worked extremely hard and demonstrated good attitudes. If these athletes maintain their good work in wrestling, they can add more depth to the choice of Varsity wrestlers.

DUE TO THE lack of person­ nel, the freshmen wrestlers par­ ticipated mostly in exhibition matches. Exhibition matches are merely for competition and do not account for team points. They did have a few matches, none of which they won, but it’s not as bad as it seems. There were a couple of people with winning points on their side. We have to keep in mind that these are the wrestlers of the future and if they stick with it, the next few seasons look very optimistic for Marauder wrestling.

THE MINGUS TENNIS team is in the best position ever to win the state championship. The team is much stronger and could produce A-state singles and doubles championships with Ben Miller and the duo of Leo Alafriz and Jeff Lambert respectively. The team consists of six returnees and one newcomer, a freshman named Jeff Lambert. He joins Leo Alafriz, Mike Alafriz, Eric Arnett Bruce Griesenbeck, Cliff Hebbeler, and Ben Miller to round out this championship team.

Softball Anticipates Good Season

WITH FIVE EXCELLENT returning starters; Terri DeVault, pitcher; Erie Mulford, short stop; Candy Willis, catcher; Marie Bentley, right field; Leslie Ralston, second base; softball coach Steve Wombacher predicts that they will win more than half of their games. The toughest competitors are expected to be Tolleson and Phoenix Indian; Tolleson being the tougher. They have an excellent knowledge of fundamentals and have an excellent pitcher and catcher duo. Phoenix Indian is known for its pitching, and in softball that makes seventy percent of the game. Mingus finished last year with an 8-4 record, beating Parker and spliting with Phoenix Indian. They played many Class B schools because of their proximity.

ABOVE LEFT: Terri De Vault shows off the new softball uniform and grits her teeth viciously as she does to all opposing pitchers. ABOVE RIGHT: Marie Bentley is a returning right fielder. LOWER LEFT: Leslie Broughton, a freshman, is expected to perform well as a varsity softball player.
