Our Patroness

Perseverance is a great grace. To go on gaining and advancing every day, we must be resolute, and bear and suffer as our blessed forerunners did. Which of them gained heaven without a struggle?

-Words of Mother Seton

VENERABLE ELIZABETH ANN SETON

Elizabeth Seton, for whom Seton High School is named, was born in 1774 of a prominent Episcopalian family of New York City. At twenty she marriedWi IIi am Magee Seton. When they had been married only nine years, her husband became seriously iII. The Seton were invited to stay with Catholic friends in Italy until William sh::>uld recover. However, his iII ness was fatal; Elizabeth was left a widow with five small children.

Mrs. Seton remained with their Italian friends for a short time after Williams death. Because of the extraordinary devotion and spiritual practices of her hosts, Elizabeth became interested in the Catholic faith. When she returned to the States she became a Catholic; even though most of her relatives and friends opposed her conversion.

In order to support her young family, Elizabeth began teaching. Unsuccessful in NewYork, shewas invited byBishop Carroll toopen a Catholic school in Baltimore. In an almost miraculous manner a religious community, known as the Sisters of Charity 1 was organized, and Elizabeth Seton was chosen as the first superior.

After twelve years of guiding the new community, Mother Seton died at the age of forty-seven. Her saintly life caused her to be declared Venerable in Decembe r , 1959. It is our daily prayer that soon she will be raised to the honor of the alter.

Seniors '60

FERNANDO ARVIZU

"Yes, my dear." Freddie made a hit as the agreeable boy friend in the senior class play. However, his opponents on the gridiron didn't consider him quite so agreeable. Center of Seton's charging line, Fred was chosen by his team mates as the best lineman in '59.

IRENE BERNAL

A whiz at shorthand dictation and a convincing sophisticated Blanche in the senior class play, Irene is dynamite in a sma II package. A strange chemi co Ireaction takes place when the inseparables, Princess and Shorty, get together----explosions of laughter 1

cRENALDO CAR EGA

Re'ys energy and enthusiasm on the football field and baseball diamond overflow into ordinary conversations with his friends. His laughing browneyesandhis mischievous smile make rey a favorite with all who know him. Classmates envy the ease with which he gets A's in history.

ANTHONY CHACON

Another sports enthusiast, who goes out for footba II, basketba II, and baseba II, Tony was awarded a trophy for the most valuableplayerin hissenior year. Areal ga II ant on the dance floor, his chief pasttime on campus seems to be teasing the girls.

Seniors '60

DOMA Tl LLA DUENAS

Deftwith needleand thread, Tilliemakes her own clothes and is a Iways neat as a pin. She is also quiet as a mouse but very capable--she is the human adding machine in the bookeeping class, the answer key against which the others may check their work

MARIA JESUS ESCANDON

Our to II, brown -eyed Jessie pI ans to be an airlines stewardess and has already begun taking classes with Central Airlines. Her versatility in dramatics was shown by her portrayal of Roxanne in the comedy For Pop•s Sake and of Grace Poole in Jane Eyre.

ISABEL GUTIERREZ

When there are things to be done, Molly is as dependable a girl as anyone can find. He.- quick smile and pleasing personality make her popularwith everyone from freshmen to facu Ity members. She is equally capable as Student Body Secretary or as a member ofavolley ball team.

CONSTANCE HURTADO

••p:-incess" has frequently been greeted with the phrase "Better late than never," but her slowness in getting to school is counterblanced by her quick wit. When Connie portrayed Leah, the maid in the senior play, her characteristic giggle emphasized her "Oh, that John!• line.

Seniors '6 0

DUANE KRAMER

Because of his faithful service throughout his school days, Duane was selected as Supreme Commander of the Knights of the Alter. His constancy in another respect is evidenced by his loyalty to the St. Louis Ca -dinals, in spiteofperpetual"joshing" by his classmates.

ANNA ROSE LEDOUX

Anna Rose is a point "rocker" in every field; she was a four-year honor student, represented the junior class on the Student Counci I and the school at Girls' State, and starred in two class plays. All this--and she is an accomplished cook and seamstress, too

OLIVIA MUNOZ

Romeo's Juliet was our homecoming queen and the flirt in the senior class play. After a year's iII ness she came back this year to finish school and was so wholeheartedly adopted by the Cla3s of '60 as to be elected to the coveted office of Senior Class President.

RICHARD ORTEGA

Those who know Dick outside of school maintain he's not always so quiet as he is on campui. Watching him on the baseball field seems to prove there's truth in t h e claim. Next year Dick plans to go to Arizona State University to take a course in engineering.

Seniors '60

DORA ORTIZ

Dora has three years' experience on the Student Counci I, having been treasurer for two years and secretary for one. She has taken an active part in everything the school has sponsored, including participation in both junior and senior class plays.

LEO ORTIZ

Have you seen that student with the brief case? That's Leo. But all his knowledge isn't in the books he carries; there is plenty of information on varied subjects stored in his head. Our 11 professor" was even cast true to type in the junior class play.

Ll LLIAN RICHTER

11 Quack-Quack 11 is much teased from the boys because of her manner of walking, but she takes it in good part. Lillian not only shone in portraying character parts in both class plays; she also spent hour upon hour making costumes for Jane Eyre.

ANTHONY STEVENS

As a junior, Tony transferred from So.Jth Dakota. He has made the long trip from Ba.Jchu le to Seton daily for the past two We had to get to know him before we learned what great artistic ability and what fun and humor lie beneath his naturally reserved exterior.

When We Were

Very Young

Mo;t of us have been at Seton si nee the seventh grade. But with the freshman yem came new faces, new pe·.:>ple to get acquainted with--on the faculty and in our class. Othe1 new faces were added to our group later; Tony Chacon in the sophomore year, Bill Yoder and Tony Stevens in the junioryear. Meanwhile we said goodby to many who were with us along the way. Two (for whom we had going-away parties) were Jackie Fisher and Betty St. Sure, both of whom reluctantly left when their fathers were transferred to distant bases.

Duling our years at Seton there have been classes we have en joyed and classes we have disliked, but one class we wi II long remember is biology. Every day we wished for a fire alarm, so that Father McCarty--who was fire chaplain--would leave. When that happened, we throughly enjoyed the rest of the period. A familiar morning greeting has been; "That first bell means silence!" After four years some of us still don't seem to remember. Silence may be golden, but for some of us it is impo3sible.

In the freshman year we began working to be able to leave a memorial behind us. Having decided to give library furniture, we p:lid for the card catalog case; then we tempore i ly gave up our plan in order to give Father Patterson a hundred dollars toward defraying extraordinary school expenses. Last year we resumed our original idea and have earned enough to add to the number of library tables. We have had lots of fun raising the money to achieve ourpurpose--bymeans of several bake sales, a slave day, our dances, and the class plays. Spending all day Saturday baking cakes, cookies, and pies proved profitable. The day before our slave day we were sold at auction to the highest bidder. Carrying books for upper and lowe1 c lassmen made us late for classes; cleaning desks and cupboards, shining shoes, pushing rocks with ournoses for the seniors' amusement--a II this deprived us of our lunch hour.

Then there were the dances. In the freshman year we scheduled the schools first and last Christmas dance--a perfect flop; almost everyone had other plans for the vacation. The next year our Valentine dance was much more successful At the junior-sponsored Hallowe'en dance everyone decided there was no need to hide his own features behinda bought mask, and so there were no costumes. Since we couldn't get into the Officers' Club at WAFB to decorate until the afternoon of our Prom, we worked like beavers almost unti I it was time for the orchestra to arrive. Then we had to rush home to dress. Were we ever "beat'' by the time we got to the dance- - but we had fun! For "Sayonara," our seniordance, MargaretVegh lentus manyof her souvenirs from Japan, to help give the hall a Japaneseatmospl,ere. While the Homecoming Dance was Student Counci I sponsored, it seemed to be ours because the King and Queen were from the Senior Class.

Though the class plays entailed much hard work, they were more fun than anything else we sp:>nsored. We got used to hearing Sister Mary Ronald's broken record; "Stay in character!" "Watch your feet!" 11 Louder, please; I can't hear you. 11 "Don't you know your lines yet? When are you planning to learn them? 11 "Just, not jest! 11 "Thinking of getting! 11

Especially in For Pop's Sake Bill was a mostefficient stage man::Jger. Our many hours of practice were not in vain--the audiences seemed to en joy both productions. And because we ha::l practiced for hours on two unexpected free days, Sister Mary Ronald gave the cast members a free day, on which we had a wonderful time picicking along the Verdi.

Class members took part in a number of inter-school activities; speech tournaments at Salpoints, Girls State and Boys State in 1959, the Student Council conventions at Tucson in '58 and Yuma in '59, and the Student Counc i I Workshop at ASU in August, 1959.

Noteworthy events marked our senior year. The installations of thedemerit system caused much discussion and--in some qu.Jrters--much dismay. The first occasion on which the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was celebrated i r: Seton's patio was in thanksgiving for the long-awaited and much -prayed-for ace redi ti on of the school.

Finally, with classes and tests behind us, a glorious Senior Day at Christopher Creek, Payson, followed. Here we enjoyed hiking, swimming, andhorseback riding, as wellasthedelicioussteaksFather McMahon supplied for ourdinner.

The climax was May twenty-ninth with Solemn Mass, banquet, and the evening Commencement Exercises.

At last our dream was fulfi lied!

How many of the baby pictures did you recognize? Here's the key.
