This Is Mingus Union a place to study and dream, to laugh and play and love, to worry and work. . . to meet new people and make of them friends. . . to aquire social graces and fine new interests, to expand the scope of personality and character, to discover one's self. . . a place to pause for a little while, to perceive, to catch a glimpse of truth and pursue it until it can be grasped and claimed as one's own. . . place to grow and emerge and adult.

a Locked In Ingem ar Gustafson All my life I lived in a cocoanut. It was cramped and dark. Especially in the morning when I shave. But what pained me most was that I had no way to get into touch with the outside world. If no one out there happened to find the Cocoanut, if no one cracked it, then I was doomed to live all my live in the nut, and maybe even die there. I died in the cocoanut. A couple of years later they found the cocoanut, cracked it, and found me shrunk and crumpled inside. "What an accident" "If only we had found it earlier.. . " "Then maybe we could have saved him. " "maybe there are more of them locked in like that. . " "Whom we might be able to save they said, and started knocking to pieces every cocoanuts within reach. No use! Meaningless. A waste of time! A person who chooses to live in a cocoanut! Such a nut is one in a million! But I have a brother-in-law who lives in an acorn.

What a fire it will make that antique address book those names that have no faces and how I'll judge my popularity by those who ring me up.

ADMINISTRATION

Superintendent, Principal Direct Educational Programs at MVHS

Mr. Barbarick, Superintendent

Mr. Udall, Principal

Union High School has had a year of tremendous per sonal growth and achievement in 1969-70 and that continued growth, is the years to come will be built upon the accomplishment of this year.

The challenge to grow and become a better person is ever present in our lives. A primary purpose of educa tion is to focus attention on the need for this personal growth and then provide the facilities, directions, and supervision so human growth and development will take place.

To these ends the administration, the superintendent, dedand principal at Mingus Union High School, are dcd icated.

It is to be hoped that every single person at Mingus

I'm Older Than You, Please Listen A.R.D. Faribum To the young man I would say: Get out! Look sharp, my boy, before the roots are down, before the equations are struck, before a face or a landscape has power to shape or destroy. This land is a lump without heaven, a body that has no nerves. Don't be content to live in a sort of second-grade heaven with first-grade butter, fresh air, and paper in every toilet: becoming a butt for the malice of those who have stayed and soured, staying in turn to sour, to smile, and savage the young. If you're enterprising and able, smuggle your talents away, hawk them in livelier markets where people are willing to pay.

Mr. Richmond Counselor

Mrs. Johnson

If you have no stomach for roughage, if patience isn't your religion, if you must have sheery with your bitters, if money and fame are your pigeon, if you feel that you need success and long for a good address, don't anchor here in the desertthe fishing isn't so good: take a ticket for Megalopolis, don't stay in this neighbourhood!

John Bemath Some of us live in big white houses, some of us live in small. Some of our names are written on blackboards, some are written on walls. Some of our daddys work in factories some of them stand in line. Some of our daddys buy us marbles, some of them just buy wine.

But at night you can't tell Sunday suits from tattered overalls. Then we're only children, children one and all.

Hi-Lo

The 1969-70 Hi-Lo staff has made a big effort this year to produce the best possible yearbook. None of the staff members have worked on laying out a yearbook before, so it’s been a new experience for us all. Our photographers Wayne Pendley, Marc D'Obrenovic, and Jim Minter have given a lot of their time and effort in taking pictures of all the activities, developing them and making sure that we had them in time for the deadlines. Most people don't realize how much time it takes to make a good annual. A project of this size requires a concentrated team effort.

The Spirit The Spirit is the official publication of Mingus. This year it came out on an erratic schedule. The staff literally fought to meet deadlines and did not usually succeed. They were also given a special working room this year, situated at the bottom of A Building under the girls' gym. The paper trieu to Keep the students informed on what was happening m tneir school and community that would affect them.

John Bernath Mingus Union's first foreign exchange student, John Bernath, comes from South Africa to spend his Senior year.

During his stay at Mingus, John became a familiar personality around town, due to his many interests in the people of the area and to his many speeches for luncheons, dinners and organizations. He entered into school activities which include participation in Student Council and social manager of the senior class. He was in the delegation that attended the Student Council Convention.

£.-;

John will long be remembered by both the school and the community for his terrific personality, and his congenial attitude towards everyone.

AFS Active This Year

The AFS Club is made up of students who are willing to help raise money to support a student from a foreign country. This year the Mingus AFS members had mohey raising projects such as movies and other fund drives. John Bernath was very active in helping the club prepare for next year and their next exchange student.

Steve Simonsgard, David Bill, Rick Barbarick, Ed Altamirno, Richard McDonald, Paul Jones-Chairman, Ed White-President, Jim Krise-Sec-Tres. John Bernath, George Groseta, Ernie Broughton, Jim Young, Bill AyresVice President, Phil Wright.

The Mingus Key Club was busy this year planning and putting projects into action. One of the projects was a drive to raise $200 for a needy family in Cottonwood. They also had a massive light bulb sale campaign. The

club made over a hundred per cent profit with their peanut machines around school. Also they cleaned the old Clarkdale High School and participated in an Elks Club-sponsored food basket drive, made up donations. *

Our cheerleaders worked hard tins year to lift the roofs with spirit. They were always the main attraction at the Pep Assemblies and did so

two of our Varsity cheerleaders tins will be the last year to cheer. We salute them in their faithfulness, for working and trying to bring as much participation and pushing the team along during the years in cheering. Although this is the first year for all but three of the Junior Varsity cheer• leaders, they too have done very well.

FTA Members Are Active The Mingus chapter of Future Teachers of America is traditionally one of the most active clubs on campus, and this year was no exception. The organization's members helped with the VISTA tutoring at Clarkdale Elemen tary School, held bake sales, helped with the Head Start program during the summer, sponsored a school wide assembly during which new officers and members were installed, and sold candy to raise money for the state convention in Scottsdale.

Chorus Sings and Works

Although Chorus is officially listed as a class here at Mingus, this year it almost took the form of a club. They held many fund-raising events, including hot dog sales in Cottonwood, and bake sales here at the school. They entertained the entire school throughout the year at assemblies featuring both individual singers and various branches of the chorus, such as the folk singers, and the octet. Evening performances were also given at Thanksgiving and Christmas time, for the benefit of parents and music-loving inhabitants of the Verde Valley.

Mingus Strives for a Perfect Season

The Mingus Marauders started out the 1969 foot ball season with high hopes and strong support from both students and Verde Valley citizens. As the season went on, several team members were unable to play in most games, as a result of either ineligibility or accidents on the field. The first game of the season, against Tuba City, was a vic tory, and helped boost spirit. The team suffered losses against Peoria, Chinle, Tolleson, Holbrook, Buckeye, and Snowflake; and beat Window Rock and Dysart. The Season record was 3-6.

Coach Holds High Hopes "A coach cannot ask for more than a promising team. Two factors which may account for our good luck was the weather conditions were so good, and the fact that individual kids proportionally are the best, " according to coach Mr. Dreitzler. Mr. Dreitzler also stated that he would like to play Prescott again even though the team lost their first game with that school.

I used to be afraid to look completely real the sun was just my friend sometimes when brown from sea and sky made tilings all right always afraid to be anything but young and envying beauty even on the face of strangers Is this what growing up means? the reality of lighting over public mirrors? Or is my confidence in love so great tliat I worry not to let you see me at my worst?

CAMERA by Rod McKuen I stand just so your camera winks me into permanence acne scars tired eyes wrinkles on my forehead more naked than I have ever been (especially to one I love so very much)

Eleven Delegates Attend Model U.N. This year the Model U.N. program at Mingus attracted eleven juniors and seniors. Our school was given three countries to represent: Nepal, Tunisia and Somalia. This was the first year Mingus sent delegates to the Se curity Council. At the session, held at the University of Arizona in Tucson in December, the delegates took the positions their countries would in actuality, on topics dealing with the withdrawal of all foreign military bases from Asia, Africa and Latin America; and the problem of the apartheid policy in Namibia, the trust territory of South Africa. Guest speaker for the session was Vladimir F. Petrovsky, Russian special assistant to the U.N. undersecretary for political and social affairs. His topic was the importance of the Security Council in the United Nations. Mingus students who attended felt the program was worthwhile, not only as an opportunity to meet other students from various Arizona high schools, but also to better understand world problems. Sponsor for the pro gram here at Mingus is Mr. Crawford.
