1982: In a Clovis News-Journal photo labeled, "Wildcat Cookette Moms," the Clovis High School cafeteria cooks dubbed themselves the "Wildcookettes" after they dished up 300 meals in 15 minutes for those attending the annual Wildcat football banquet.
The nine cooks - Georgia Forsyth, Jean Hopper, Carol Johnson, Marie Morris, Rose Moya, Laura Beth Newberry, Viola Pickel, Marjorie Summers, and Sally Truitt - had stayed late the night before to prepare and serve the banquet meal.
