Favorite saying or teacher quote . . .
Mr. Marshall - “...When things get tough, smile,
grit your teeth & carry on!” “And, remember,
when you think of getting married, little things
like the man rolling up the toothpaste tube had
better be something you can live with cause little
things must be tolerated by the other”. - Pam
Kaufman Morris-Johnson
Here’s your Blue slip - Bill Abel
Mr. Marshall - “I’m All Heart” - Carl Beard
Mrs. Roten - “Courage in the face of adversity” Brad Benson
Mrs. Roten - “Courage in the face of adversity”Donna Leigh Burris Scott
Mrs. Nichols - “Important you learn to use a
typewriter, typing is our future” Does anybody
remember what a typewriter is? - Regina Lane
Seaman
You can’t cross against the red light and be
successful. - James Bryant
Mrs. Roten - “Courage in the face of adversity”,
to urge us to take the risk of saying something
that might be wrong, or seem dumb. And, Mr.
Haugh - “It’s obvious to the most casual
observer” about solving some algebraic equation
for which I didn’t have the vaguest clue (and still
don’t). I continue to use both of these sayings. Winnie Larsen Hogoboom
Mr. Pomeroy - “Quiet, you little monsters” Linda Durrant
Mrs. Bancroft - We girls should all wear girdles
so our “boonies” would not show. When I began
to socialize with her 15 years later, I was shocked
to see her in a “pants suit” - sans girdle, I am
sure.
Mr. Marshall - “I am all heart” - Dwight Leister

Best High School memory/story . . .
Friends I made and the great teachers I had. The
fact that some of those people are my friends
today is testimony to the value I place on them. Donna Baitzer Lee

up and down Speedway Blvd., chasing
ambulances and the 25 of us going on picnics &
hikes in Sabino Canyon. Coach Jacobs “sailed”

It was always enjoyable to confuse the staff and
teachers about “which” Lane girl are you? There
were four of us in High School at the same time. Regina Lane Seaman
Russel Savage sold his pony to my Dad so he
could take me to the Jr. Prom. The day of the
Prom I rode the pony after getting my hair done.
She bucked me off right into a prickly pear
cactus! I spent the afternoon puling cactus out of
my hair! - Susanne Faulkner Liljegren
A humorous story I remember from our freshman
year was when I came in quite late to a social
studies class. After handing the teacher a note, I
sat down in my desk in front of Dick O’Connor.
Dick leaned forward and asked where I’d been. I
replied that I’d been at the county courthouse
getting my citizenship papers. Dick said that was
great, now I could join the mafia without fear of
being deported. I have been waiting to tell him
for years that he was wrong - the Mafia won’t
take me. - Winnie Larsen Hogoboom

Many to choose from. One was spitting water
into the air hose in wood shop so when Ruben (a
great dresser) would blow himself off after shop
he would get wet. Someone said Mr. Evans
eventually took apart the air compressor to fix
this problem, sorry Mr. Evans. - Joe Frannea
In the summer after our freshman year, the
Concert Choir went on a bus trip, up through Salt
Lake City and West to California, through
Yosemite national Park. Fran Pierce and I as
freshmen were lucky to go. When the bus
traveled the mountainous route up to Yosemite,
the bus driver had us get out to negotiate sharp
turns with deep canyons below. At the ranger

station, they were amazed to see us; no buses
were supposed to travel that route. Instead of
charging us admission, they asked us to sing a
song. We sang “America the Beautiful” in one of
the most beautiful settings imaginable. - Winnie
Larsen Hogoboom
I moved to Tucson my senior year an knew no
one. My best memory is how everyone was so

Corvair off the parking lot and hid it behind the
gym. -Dwight Leister
To prepare for college I knew that during my
Senior year I should take speech. I was insecure
to face the class and needede to do something to
pull up my grade. I choose to do a Negro
monologue and be someone else for my semester
final. I went home and prepared myself and
clothes including a black wig hat, black stockings
and heels, multi-colored plaid, long-sleeved
taffeta dress with loads or crinolines, black
gloves, and blackened my face with soot and
cream and added bright red lipstick. I had asked
Mr. Trent if I could be first so I could enter the
side stage door to be a surprise when I came out
from behind the curtain. I guess that’s what it
took for me to get that grade... be someone other
than myself. I think that being on stage is a great
opportunity for personal growth and self-esteem.

While reflecting back to my days at
Amphitheater, I thought of how lucky I was to
have attended my 4 years there. Not only had I
met many new people along the way but had
some fond memories of my many opportunities
and experiences. There were also some worst
moments... like everyday teasing in the halls
(after I had developed) when I had to pass the
fellows. People may forget what you said or did,
but will never forget how you made them feel. Carole Martin Mohr

I’ve treasured your acceptance - coming to
Amphi as a senior. - John Siler
Felt very adventurous being driven by parents to
