REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST 100 YEARS
This time line is meant as just one of many snapshots reflecting the highlights of GHS and Globe over the last one hundred years. Gleaned from school yearbooks, newspaper accounts and other documents, our thanks go to Joyce McBride, historian, and Dee Hunt, GHS archivist, with providing much of the research and photos we then selected for this Centennial time line.
– 1896
Central School. Built in 1896, it was completed despite a lively debate as to whether the school was too close to houses of ill repute. Although questionable, it was decided to be legal and an eight-room school house was built for grades 1-8.
– 1914
In November of 1914, Globe High School opened its doors to approximately 250 students, grades 7-12. Globe was considered quite prosperous at the time and was the 4th largest city in Arizona. Speaking of the $87,000 investment in the new school, board member R. Q. Baker is quoted as saying, “This school was not built cheaply. It was built of good material and meant to last forever; a beautiful structure that rivals ancient Greece.”
1916
First year GHS produced a yearbook. Originally called ‘The Papoose’, it would change it’s name to ‘The Wigwam’ nine years later in 1927. Highlights of 1916: Besides a variety of literary clubs, the folk dance club and the sorority, “Keepa Keepa Gabbin”, along with the boys’ fraternity, “Eata Haffa Pi”, kept the social life going. Boys and girls had tennis and basketball, while just the boys had baseball and track. With the increased enrollment, a third floor by Trost & Trost Architects was added to accommodate the 7th and 8th graders, much to the noisy distraction of students. Dances, picnics, parties, socials, carnivals, hayrides to Wheat fields and school plays made up most of their entertainment. Styles ran from straw hats, Vaseline in boys’ hair, and bobbed hair and shorter skirts for the girls.
– 1917
Labor unrest and mine strikes brought the 17th US Cavalry machine gun company to town to keep the peace.
1924 Highlights Twelve water fountains, but only four work and those recirculate the “used” water, making for a most unsanitary situation for thirsty students. Night school was a Spanish Department and a Commercial Department attended by seventy-five students. An annual circus was held with floats, a Queen and various performances were held.

1927
An airplane crashes east of Payson carrying the new MGM mascot “Leo”, a 400 lb. African lion. Leo survives and is rescued by Rim Country cowboys.
1931
“G” Hill is established thanks to Coach Pieper, who led the student effort to put a G made of colored rocks on the hill overlooking the town.

GHS Centennial Celebration 1914-2014
100 Years and Moving Forward By Jerry Jennex, School Superintendent
The 2014-2015 school-year is a momentous milestone for Globe Unified School District. Most of you will know by now that Globe High School will be celebrating it’s 100th Birthday this fall. There are many opportunities for anyone with an interest in Globe High School’s past, present, or future to get involved in the full slate of events planned to commemorate this important milestone. As superintendent of GUSD I stand in awe of the community’s long-term commitment to do it’s best for it’s young people. As I start my third year in this leadership role, I have just begun to scratch the surface of understanding how Globe High School has made an impact on this community, on the State of Arizona, and even on our nation. Working with the Globe High School Alumni Association, I have met many people who have made outstanding contributions to the world. While there is a special emphasis on the importance of the history of Globe High School in the upcoming months, I want to communicate with you about the future of Globe Unified School District. The district continues to work on implementing it’s vision, “Capturing Hearts, Empowering Minds." The district will be starting it’s second year with two major programs. Capturing Kids’ Hearts is a student engagement process that GUSD began to implement in the 2013-2014 school year. About 150 GUSD teachers and staff were trained in the process in the past year. This July there will be another 50 trained in the CKH process. The purpose of this training is to put into place a district wide process for engaging our students and preparing them to learn. It is based on the simple philosophy stated by the program’s founder, “You can’t capture a child’s mind until you capture their heart.” We are striving through this program to make GUSD a place where every student feels accepted. I know we have a long way to go for that to be true, but that is our goal and CKH is a tool to help us reach that goal. Beyond Textbooks is a curriculum calendaring program that GUSD implemented in the 2013-2014 school year as well. This program provides clear direction for our teaching staff to follow so that the state required student learning standards are fully addressed in every classroom. While we are still waiting for state testing results as of this writing, we are seeing evidence that this systemic approach to teaching to required standards is making a difference in our student learning. As September of 2014 approaches I believe we can look back at 100 years of Globe High School knowing that there is much to celebrate. I also know that there are no perfect organizations and Globe High School is no different. The leadership team of Globe Unified School District, the governing board, administrators, and staff, are deeply committed to trying to start the next 100 years with the same dedication, enthusiasm, and most of all, willingness to strive for improvement so that the legacy will continue. Thanks to all who have made Globe High School and Globe Unified School district a school system that has lasted for a century. Let’s all work together to make the 2nd century even better and brighter than the first!
Bobby Armenta, Globe High School Principal It is a pleasure to be part of the Centennial Celebration and serve the students and the community of Globe as the principal of Globe High School. Our Centennial is a great opportunity to reflect on the rich history of this school and the many examples set by GHS alumni over the last 100 years. As our students reflect on the life and times of our alumni and the strong traditions passed on by generations of family members, we know that many today will be joining this roster of accomplished individuals. I'm proud to be part of a tradition so heavily built on family and community, so as we celebrate the past this fall, we also look to the future.

Commemorative special edition
Stories from Globe High School’s Past... By now you may have read all about the buildings, the dates of additions, annexes and upgrades, and sports wins, but what about the people who attended or worked at Globe High School? Who were the heroes, the inspirations, the rags to riches stories, and those who gave back to the community? What did they do for fun, live through wars, hard times, and other challenges? You’ve read the facts, now what about the stories? What follows are a smattering of snapshots, peepholes into the past, not complete by any means. But we hope this helps you get to know these GHS youngsters and mentors of yesteryear, traveling in your imagination to what it was like back then. One of the earliest stories is about a teacher. Parke E. Vickrey became the Industrial Arts Teacher at Globe High School just after it opened. He lived in Mrs. Sobey’s boarding house at 300. E. Mesquite Street. Vickrey became the football coach, and then the basketball coach. He led that team to the state’s first championship in 1921, and another famous Tiger, Jess Hayes, was on that team. In a newspaper interview with Ted Kazy, Vickrey said, “We didn’t have a school bus, so we scrounged around for transportation. Safford was a sixhour trip from Globe, if we were lucky.” Vickrey gave up coaching in 1932, but he continued to teach for almost forty years. His wife Irene, the archaeologist who managed the reconstruction of Besh-ba-gowah, died young in 1941, and he never remarried. John Youmans, Class of 1920, recalled some school memories for the GHS Wigwam staff as they prepared for their 75th anniversary. Youmans remembered blowing up the chemistry lab, and that he wore knickers (short pants that buckled around the knees) to school. His fondest memories were his involvement with the Boy Scouts, Globe Troop 1. The following words by Jess G. Hayes, also Class of 1920, come from the files of the Gila County Museum: “I was born in Globe, the eleventh child in a family of six boys and seven girls. During my high school career, I became interested in basketball, and it was my privilege to have been selected the first all-state center after Globe had won the first official interscholastic championship in 1921. I taught in Globe schools for 12 years, and in 1940 the good people of Gila County elected me their school superintendent and reelected me to this office time and time again.”
Like his coach Parke Vickrey, Hayes remembers that famous 1921 championship and the road trips in particular. In a 1956 narrative from the archives, Jess said they “spent more time traveling over rough and rugged roads, exhausted more energy fixing flat tires, and pushed our automobiles farther than any team in the state.”
Probably the most famous Globe graduate, Rose Perica, was president of the student body in 1940. That was not her last political office, of course. She went on to be Arizona Governor Rose Mofford. Interviewed by the Wigwam staff in 1992, Rose said that Stories, Continued on page 7
...Students and Staff Remember By Jim Turner, Historian
Sp ts wasn’t wasn t everything e Sports at GHS, h wever. A 1928 graduate, Marie however. Hachtel, wa as a m was member of the “Uke Club.” There were many college fads in the Roaring Twenties, wenties among them “coonskin co on fur coats” (bulky racco raccoon ost everyone everyo played overcoats), and almost the Hawaiian ukulele. Singe Singer Rudy Vallee and movie Pickford, e actors Mary P ckford, Douglas Fairbanks, ks, and Clara Bow Bow were their super stars back in the day. day Hachtel graduated from Northern Arizona State Teacher’s College and taught Commercial Work (Office Education) at GHS. According to the Globe Hall of Fame book for 2011-2013, at the beginning of the year she told her students, “this is about survival of the fittest!” Horace “Hoss” Johnson’s story is an inspiration. A 1935 graduate, Johnson was the first black athlete at GHS, and he says he owes his success not to his coach, but to the principal, H. E. Stevenson. In a 1988 Arizona Silver Belt article, Johnson said, “He was a wonderful principal, a wonderful man.” When Johnson was a junior, Stevenson wrote to his mother in Wyoming and convinced her to let her son stay in Globe and finish school, and then they would help get him placed in college. Even though Johnson had scholarship offers from several Big Ten schools, Stevenson convinced him to go to North Dakota, where they would let him play basketball. Johnson said, “I was the only black male student at the school at the time, but I wasn’t treated differently from others. It seemed like everyone was my friend. We all were like one family.” Johnson flew with the famous Tuskegee Airmen in World War II. He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel, then taught and coached at schools in Oklahoma.

her “thorough education, wonderful friends and a supportive family” all enhanced her successful career. She told the students to “stick to your goals, pay attention, and take advantage of any opportunity.” In World War II, many GHS graduates became pilots. Why? According to Globe High School archivist Dee Hunt, it was one of few high schools in the nation that offered a course in aeronautics. Jim Harbison, Class of ’42, was assigned to a B17 bomber and flew 35 missions. Bob White, Class of ’43, flew off to war as well, as a naval aviator. His claim to fame, however, is as the creator of the UofA mascot cartoon characters, Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat. In 1948, his senior year at UofA, he entered drawings of “Cactus and Cathy Cat.” The judges liked the artwork but not the name, and Bob’s cartoons have been the official UofA mascots for more than half a century. Once the war was over, things calmed down and people returned to local interests. Hazel Jo Hardt, now Jo Foti, Class of ’55, is the daughter of longtime Arizona Senator Bill Hardt, who came to Globe with the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933. Foti said that her favorite classes were chemistry from Mr. Stirewalt, science from Mrs. Fulton, and photography. Foti said she didn’t date much in high school, and her first beau played semi-pro baseball, first for Globe/Miami, and then for Phoenix. “Everyone, even the high school kids, went to the semi-pro games in those days,” Foti said. She remembers, “Surprisingly enough, when he asked my dad to borrow his car so we could go out, my ‘tough guy’ dad said yes – with a time limit, of course!” Richard Goodwin, Class of ’63, said his fondest memories are the band trips, choral trips, and his fellow students in those groups. He said their music teacher, Mr. Nunimaker (Nunie), “taught from the heart.” When asked who he still keeps in touch with from GHS, he said, “everyone who is still above ground.” His story is another example of how world events affect high school students for the rest of their lives. He said that Kenny Green, killed in Viet Nam, is the person he misses the most. Following Richard six years later, Class of ’69, is Globe High School’s most famous celebrity, “Wonder Woman” Lynda Carter. She’s still an incredibly busy actress/songwriter/singer, but it’s nice to know that she keeps in touch with her classmates through the “Growing up in Globe” Facebook page. Tim Truett, Class of ’86, says that he is most proud of classmates Frank Holder, Larry Perino, and Jeannie Uhl. He said that Frank and Larry both earned their way into military academies, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. They both served their countries honorably and have achieved a great deal of success. Truett said that “Jeannie was always about the nicest person any of us knew. She came back to serve our community and our school as a teacher and unfortunately was taken from us much too early. But she made a significant difference in the short time she was given.” Throughout their history, GHS students have always been concerned about what was happening in the world. Truett remembers his AP calculus teacher wheeling in a TV and they all watched coverage of the space shuttle Challenger explosion. When asked why GHS was the best place to go to school, Truett had a Goldilocks kind of explanation. He went to three different high schools: Bagdad, Arizona, 123 students “too small,” Mountain View (Mesa) 4,500 students “too big,” and then Globe, about 800 students at the time “just right.” So that’s almost a hundred years of stories in a nutshell, and thanks to all of those who shared their stories. Tough times or not, GHS has a lot to be proud of, and there are special bonds among the alumni that last a lifetime and go back several generations, more so than most American cities. Regardless of who was “Most Likely to Succeed,” and who actually did, the real winners are the Globe High School alumni who made friends and stuck by them for one hundred years.
An Interview with
Stories, Continued from page 6
iger football coach, Al Campo has been training high school gridiron players for 40 years and says it is all about faith, football and family and not necessarily in that order. “Whatever faith they have should be first and after that it should be family and football.” When it comes to winning football games, Campo says it comes down to blocking and tackling better than the other guys. “It’s all about execution, fundamentals and techniques,” he says. Although Campo recognizes the importance of the rivalry game to the local community, to him the Tiger/Vandal match up is just another game in the season. Still, it’s the Copper Kettle we’re talking about here and he is making sure his players are prepared. Campo, who is from Southern California, spent a career coaching in California, Arizona and New Mexico before taking over the football program with Globe High School where he says he is trying to build the program. He believes there are many areas to improve on but points to the overall attitude of the kids. “These kids will give their heart and soul and that’s the foundation for a successful program.” For the upcoming season in which the Tigers will meet the Vandals for the 100th time, Globe is going in with a strong roster of 12 seniors, most of them having played under Coach Campo for the last three years. “You’ve got to have those seniors to provide the leadership on the field,” says Campo. Barring any injuries, Campo says this year’s team is going to be very tough. “Of course, we’ll match up with Miami real well,” he says. “Last year was a tight game and they beat us 10-2. They will have alot of their kids back too, so I expect going in it’s going to be an even game again this year.” So what’s the plan? “Most football games are lost – not won – because of blocking or execution errors.” “You just can’t underestimate fundamentals. Take care of the ball... and execute. That’s our plan.”

Although the official record shows the first game taking place in 1927, it appears the teams played four years earlier at a time when Miami had a fully developed team and Globe did not. That didn’t stop Globe from laughing at the Vandals when they were trounced by Tucson and Phoenix. Miami responded by inviting Globe to play them – twice. Globe, which had neither a coach, equipment or training, badly lost both games to the Vandals; 48-0 and 31-0. “Thirty Years of Football” 1953
The teams played twice that year winning 6-0 and 15-0. “The powerful Tiger eleven fought their way tooth and nail with their rivals, the Miami Vandals ... And again in 1945 they played twice beating the Vandals 45 - 0 early in the season and again 32 - 7 on Turkey Day. But ’46 proved a losing season when the Tigers lost their all but one team member from the previous year. They lost both games to Miami 0 -6 and 0 - 12. In ’47, with some experience under their belts they came back to beat the Vandals twice, 14 - 0 and 21 -7.

Papoose: Nov. 4 “First Game in History” “On Friday, November 11, at the Association Park, the Globe High Eleven will match their skill with the Miami High School Trojans.” Globe was sorely outmatched by a more experienced Miami team that first official game losing in ’27 and ’28 until roaring back in 1929 to win the first of many gridiron contests to come. The game was dedicated to peace in recognition of Armistice Day. The Wigwam called it the “best season in the history of the school,” which really meant - all of four years. The Tigers won the Easter Division Championship. “This game as in the past was hard fought but Miami out classed the Tigers in everything but fight and in this they were about even.” The Apache War Cry, Miami, Arizona Friday, Dec. 4th, 1931

November A disputed touchdown causes many hot tempers but would not have changed the outcome. The Vandals reigned victorious. Vandals 12. Tigers 0 “Nearly 2000 fans packed School Hill park that afternoon to watch the Tigers square off once again with the Vandals. A disputed touchdown by Globe was hotly contested but the argument never went to the executive committee of the Eastern Arizona Conference because it was decided that the Vandals would win even with the disputed touchdown going to the Tigers. Gordon Johnson, referee, said in his opinion the score should have been 19-6”
Globe Tigers take the Eastern Conference Championship - “This was an all-around banner year for the Globe Tigers with a 9-1 season record. The team consistently shattered their opponents only losing one game that season to Casa Grande by one point 13 -14. The 1953 team was considered “ one of the best grid squads in GHS history averaged 36.4 points per game.” They beat Miami 47-12 in the final match.

“Globe Tigers will dash out on the field tomorrow night to face the Vandals from Miami. Miami, sporting an experienced line with at least four players weighing over 200 pounds, will come up against the Bengal’s light and green line. Lack of experience however may not tell the tale. Globe’s backfield is a fast, illusive aggregation that will take advantage of any openings.” Arizona Record, September 17, 1953 “No matter how either team has played against other teams during the seasons, the Thanksgiving Day classic always brings out heroic football.” AZ Silver Belt. “The Tiger Squad has had a very successful season this year with a 7-3 record. This year’s annual Thanksgiving Day game turned out to be a great one for the Tigers when they cut up the Miami Vandals 26-0. Coach Pavlich, in his last year as Tiger football coach, produced one of his best teams.” (Wigwam 1964)
Will be remembered as the year the Tigers beat the Phoenix Coyotes considered to be a much larger, heavier team in a “feat long to be remembered.” However in the game that mattered, the Tigers tied the Vandals 7-7 despite leading at half time.

Martin later explained how he had the “guts” to grab that ball and run to the goal. “In my past, I was used to grabbing things that didn’t belong to me and running like hell. I knew if I stopped I’d be pummeled, so that’s why I ran to the safety of the school bus!” The Copper Kettle exchange moved onto the football field for the safety of the opposing team. Going to the winning school was always a volatile situation-in both gyms.

GLOBE-MIAMI WAR GAMES By Joyce McBride, Historian. Class of ‘64
prouts of school rivalry first appeared in 1916, shortly after Miami High School was built for 70 students and just two years after Globe High School opened its new doors to 250 high school and junior high students. Surprisingly, the catalyst that sparked the rivalry war wasn’t football, but rather baseball, and by a baseball series. Of the seven games played, Globe won the first, Miami the second, third and fourth, then Globe took the fifth, sixth and seventh and thereby the championship. Besides baseball, in those early days GHS played basketball, track and tennis. Neither Globe nor Miami played football. Further, in 1917, the GHS athletes who lettered were two girls for basketball. The boys basketball team was inactive due to the fact there was no place to practice.
every football game except 1, including to Miami. But in 1929, just weeks after the NY Stock market crash had ushered in the Great Depression; the Globe Tigers football team gasped new life and burst out in a winning streak, never looking back until they’d captured the Conference Championship by beating the Miami Vandals 31-0. What slapped them awake? One can assume the sudden increase of 250 new students to Globe’s School District had something to do with it. As the
Depression worsened, school districts started falling like dominoes under across-the-board budget cuts. First, Lee School, destroyed by fire, petitioned the Globe School District to annex the Ice House Canyon School District. Next, the acquisition of Six-Shooter Canyon’s “Little Blue Schoolhouse,” followed by the annexation of the Copper Hills and Wheatfields school districts. When the Old Dominion Mine closed in 1931, Globe’s school budget was cut 40%, forcing teachers
The coveted Copper Kettle at Globe High School.
The first rivalry between Globe and Miami was on the baseball field.
Weeks after Armistice In 1918, Globe-Miami games in November became tradition when that game was dedicated to Peace. Globe-Miami school rivalry was as traditional as turkey, typically thought synonymous, on Thanksgiving Day. But since 1967 the traditions have split and the games are earlier in the season. Globe High School Coach Parke Vickrey first developed a football team in 1923. Humble beginnings to be sure, but consistent! The Tigers football team lost every game they played of every season against their then opponents, Hayden, Safford, Superior and Mesa their first two years. In 1925 the Tigers won their first ever two games against Safford and Superior, only to be promptly demoralized by Mesa, who sent them whimpering back to their losing position the rest of the season and the next. In 1927, Miami developed a football team. The first football game played between the Globe Tigers and Miami Vandals was Globe’s 4th game of the season. Globe’s Virgil Shute made the only touchdown, thus losing to Miami 18-6. And then in 1928, the Tigers lost

to teach multiple classes in overcrowded schools. Football Coach Pieper also taught a surveying class. Two students proposed a project of putting a big letter “G” on a hill in downtown Globe. Coach Vickrey joined in and recruited athletes and other students to haul rocks onto the hill and build the “G,” we have today. That year the Tigers defeated the Vandals on Thanksgiving Day when Giacoma ran 80 yards through the entire Miami team. By 1946, Globe had won 15 and Miami ten with one tie. So in 1947, Miami High School boosters asked The International Smelting and Refining Co. to create some sort of symbol of the Globe-Miami football game, a trophy to be awarded to the victor each year. Master mechanic P.A. Foust suggested, and both Globe and Miami’s smelter workers created the 100+ lb. copper kettle with an ever-growing chain of footballs attached. Each link is inscribed with the name and date of the latest victor. “Each year two towns come alive. The quest for the copper kettle is a communal one. One town will be cast into darkness, the other into the light of victory. All will be touched by the Globe-Miami struggle. The newspaper, radio, and booster clubs spread the word of the coming battle. Day by day each school moves closer to conflict. The contest spills over into the classrooms, the hallways, and the Friday afternoon pep rallies. Each school seeks the best in itself; old troubles are put aside for the sake of conquest.” . . . (1983 Wigwam p79) Of the 99 games played, Globe has won 61. Miami has won 34 and there were four ties. On September 19, 2014, the 100th game will be played at Harbison Field. It’s anyone guess which team will win it, but you can be certain that night every student and alum in the Globe-Miami community will have adrenalin coursing through their Tiger and Vandal veins.

A Shout Out to Tanner Yeager - GHS 2011 - Photographer Tanner Yeager was the Globe Miami Times official go to photographer for the centennial photo shoots involving students and local merchants. He not only handled the photography, but in most cases helped line up the students, and worked closely with GMT and our customers to schedule the shoots. As a 2011 GHS graduate, he is well known among his peers, but is also making a name for himself on the Motocross circuit and keeps expanding his photography to include portraits, events, seniors and more. We hope you'll visit his gallery on Smugmug where he will be posting photos taken during the process of compiling the GHS Centennial edition. Visit http://tanneryeager.smugmug.com/ where you can purchase prints by contacting Tanner at tanneryeagerphoto@gmail.com.
