ms Yearbook Published By The CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL CLIFTON, ARIZONA IN THE SERVICE Clifton High School owes a large debt to the following 249 boys and girls of the United States' Armed Forces, who have dedicated themselves to secure and establish a lasting peace. The former high school members well constitute one or more representatives in every branch of the service—Army, Navy, Marines, Nurses, WACS, WAVES, Air Corps, Coast Guard, and Sea Bees. To those of our group who have given up their lives for their country, there will always be a place of honor within these walls, and to the returning sons and daughters of America will be thrown open wide the portals of our Clifton High School.

We are drawn to the brilliant personalities who live in the public eye. We forget those who serve us so patiently and faithfully. Though their work is not spectacular, our lives would be mighty rough without them. Page Seven SUPERINTENDENT H. A. LIEM The Annual Yearbook of Clifton High School entitled Trojan'' is this year dedicated to Ancient Trojans. This is a fitting gesture on the part of the staff. As students and teachers we could set up no better examples as our ideal than the aims, ambitions and heroism of our Ancient Trojans. Heroism does not always mean death upon the battlefield. It means putting forth every effort to achieve the goal set up by the group. As students we must adopt never say die spirit on our field of battle which for us is the gridiron, the basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, and the track field. In the same sense we can follow this philosophy in all our activities around the school. Thus each one of you by doing your part to the best of your ability will help the student body to achieve the overall goal of success so essential to a successful school year. I want to congratulate each and every one of you for your part in it. Let us not rest on our well earned laurels for tomorrow will soon be here and we must keep up this fine work by following the spirit of our Ancient Trojans. They as a nation were outstanding in their success for many years and thus were a truly great nation. Only when they became self satisfied with their own success did they lose their rightful heritage. This is the moral in my annual message to the Students of Clifton High School— Keep up your never say die spirit' and your house of tomorrow will stand firm on the foundation laid for it by our own Ancient Trojans of yesterday. Page Eight JACK BELZNER PRINCIPAL It is a real pleasure to tell each succeeding editor of THE TROJAN This book is better than ever.'' I am proud to be connected with an institution that progresses so much from year to year—and especially because the students and faculty give their whole-hearted effort and cooperation to make a better institution. CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL cannot expect to be a large high school because we do not live in a large population center. However, again this year you students and you faculty members have given your best efforts to make our school one of the best, according to number of students enrolled. As you look through the 1945 TROJAN, you will realize more than ever that CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL compares favorably, and in many instances surpasses, others in our field. I am proud of the scholastic attainments of our graduates. I am proud of the fine showing and numerous advancements made by our boys and girls in the armed forces. I am proud of the attainments in professional and business fields made by our graduates and ex-students. I am proud of our consistently good athletic teams, of our outstanding journalistic accomplishments, of our dramatic productions, and of our instrumental and vocal groups. Keep the above facts in mind as you read your TROJAN. When you have completed reading your copy. I am sure that you will agree with me. I am also sure that you will be proud because you, as an individual, have contributed your time and efforts in making this year so outstanding.

SENIORS—Time as he grows old, teaches many lessons Officers of the class were: President Oscar Baron Vice-President Tanis Madrid Secretary Louise Schade Treasurer Teresa Morales Sponsor Fred Rittschof Through their four years in high school, the Seniors have without doubt enjoyed pleasures that will never be experienced again and are leaving behind them memories never to be erased from their minds. United, the Freshmen stepped fearfully into a new world on September 5, 1941. For eight long years high school had been like a dream to them, but now it was theirs and they felt very grown-up. Louise Schade headed the class that year as a very successful president, with Ines Martinez as vice-president; Teresa Morales, secretary; and Kathlyn Tomp, treasurer. Mr. Wakeman as their sponsor led them in many activities. For them, high school proved all it had been cracked up to be; and even now, many a tale can be told concerning the whitewashing of the C , which the Freshfes successfully carried out. Dances were none too scarce, and Clifton High School had won sixty-five more enthusiastic boosters, who were willing to give their time and help. The class was sorry to lose such members as Vera Fishel, Polly Medina. Raul Membrilla, and Max Rapier, because of change of residence, or as in the case of Polly—marriage. The uppermost thought in the minds of the Sophomores in the year 1942, was to give the new Freshmen an initiation they would never forget —ah! and revenge was sweet, for the boys of the Sophomore class presented the poor lads with a hectic initiation, which no doubt still stings. The Maroon and Gold Freshman Return Dance proved to be a very gala occasion, all the more because it was the first dance ever put on by that class. Laddie Cosper was the president of the class; Oscar Baron, vice-president; Louise Schade, secretary; and Connie Stark, treasurer. Miss Buckley was a very able sponsor. Withdrawing from school during the term were: Nadyne Latterner, Betty Faye Eaton, Neva Helton, Audelia Calderon, Rebecca Ochoa, John Rodgers, Elvin Clapper, Margy Salcido, and Laverne Dotson, while Ruggles Richards, Storm Cocks, Ted Largent, John Jett, Paul Gilbreath, and Gene Lee joined Uncle Sam's forces. Officers for the Junior of 44 were Laddie, president again; Tanis Madrid, vice-president; Louise Schade. secretary; and Oscar Baron, treasurer. Miss Zainer, as sponsor, skillfully led the class in presenting a most unusual and beautiful prom. Inez Morales, Patsy Trainor, and Dorothy McClure dropped from the enrollment, while Charles Barnes joined our ranks. Alfred Lowman and Walter Lunt joined the service, and Nancy Granieri became Mrs. Howard Merrill. Sadly, yet triumphantly, the Seniors marched to their last year, which however, began very enthusiastically with the Seniors winning a half-holiday by selling $1,025 worth of bonds in the Bond Drive. On an average of once a month, a banquet was held. Many Senior boys were members of the football and basketball teams, and many Senior girls played on the volleyball and tennis teams. The Senior Banquet, an annual affair, proved to be very successful. And so, looking back on the good old days, it is with much regret that the Seniors march up those steps to receive their diplomas and say goodbye to their Alma Mater. , Page Fifteen OSCAR BARON His wise head and calm manner make him unbeatable.

Weber In the fall of the year, 1942, the Freshmen gazed wonderingly at the walls of C. H. S. Little did they know what lay in store for them in the years to come. These Freshmen, numbering 67, showed their worth when they entertained the Sophomores, at a barn dance. They presented a very clever Truth and Consequences show for their Pep Assembly. The year was highlighted by a picnic up the river. This year, although the ranks have been cut to 30, the Juniors have still been very active. The leads in the operetta, H. M. S. Pinafore,' were both Juniors. There were 12 members in the Girl's League, one in the Latin Club, 6 in the Advisory Council, 5 in the Honor Society, 6 in the C Club, 9 in the Spanish Club, 6 in the Commercial Club, 2 on the Trojan staff, 3 twirlers, 8 in the marching unit, 7 in the Pep Club, 4 in the band, 9 in the A Capella Choir, 3 on the Desert Song staff, and Juniors held six offices in various clubs. Two of the three cheerleaders elected by the Advisory Council were Juniors. An assembly entitled School Daze was given and a bonfire at the football stadium, followed by a snake line through the town, was sponsored by the Juniors as a pep rally. The class of 46 subscribed 100% for the Trojan. To earn money, the members sold hot dogs and cokes at two football games. During the year, Bernadino Perez, Pablo Perez, Joe Lara, and Julio Tavison left for the Armed Forces. As a farewell gift, they were presented with a subscription to the Tojan.

Not only have the Sophomores been very active in sports this year, but their social activities have been many. Exclusive Sophomore gatherings in the form of movie parties and picnics were held during the course of the year.

A pep assembly was given for the Clifton-Safford football game which was held on October 27. A skit called The Death of the Bulldogs was presented. The annual return dance was given on March 17. A St. Patrick's Day theme was carried out. Two freshmen boys lettered in football this year, while one girl lettered in volleyball.

A successful party was held on December 20, to celebrate Christmas and New Year's. In order to help the war effort and to do their part, several members formed a club called the Trojanettes. St. Patrick s Day was celebrated on March I 5 by a party which was held in the Home Economics Department. Games, dancing, and eats were enjoyed by everyone.

Constantly under the strain of learning new plays and getting used to the statistics of Coach Fred Rittschof, the players made quite a showing for themselves, winning half of their games. The main lineup of the team was changed very frequently, but the combinations used proved to be of the best quality. Although it was quite unusual, three Freshmen lettered, due to their outstanding demonstrations in several games. The opener of the season, played at Safford resulted in a 26 point victory for the opponents. Our team s next engagement was with the Southern Conference team, the Douglas Bulldogs. This club outweighed Clifton by a considerable amount but won the game by only 8 points, the score being 6 to 14. In their second out-of-town engagement, the Trojans doubled the score against the Silver City Colts, 12 to 6.

Pogo Thirty-four WE'RE TROJANS power and cleverness that the boys would show. The Clifton lineup was strong and, getting an early lead in the game, they never allowed the Wildcats to score. The final results were 51-0. Throughout the season, the Trojan lineup was never able to disturb the strong valley teams of Safford and Thatcher. However, each meeting with the local ball club proved to them they would have a hard fight ahead of them in future games. The rivalry during the two Morenci games was found to be still keen. Trouncing the Morenci Wildcats 37-12 on the home field, the Trojans vowed to follow the same procedure on their grounds in the Thanksgiving game. With the Copper Ingot at stake, the Trojans fought vigorously in order to retain it. The team marked the conclusion of the season by downing Morenci 42-0. Loft to Right, First Row: S. Sorrells, A.

Their quick thinking and spectacular playing in football games this season helped to bring many victories. A number of these boys are lettermen from previous years, but some of them lettered for the first time this year. Upon graduating, every senior boy expects to enter some branch of the armed forces. Arthur Marquez and Jimmy Cabral were called in January to begin their training under the coaching of Uncle Sam. The end of high school days also brings an end to the football career of these boys, but memories of their experiences in games and on trips, the making of new acquaintances, and the excellent coaching which they received, will remain with them for many years to come. Everyone undoubtedly knew each first string player, for they were the boys who put forth their effort to win victories for C. H. S. These boys were the ones who went forth into the battle, fearless of the task before them, and came home triumphant. They stand out in everyones opinion for the splendid sportsmanship they displayed and for their excellent team work. Left to Right, First Row: T. Madrid, F. Wilkerson, M Rutherford, J. Cabral, O.

For in the eyes of the public, their position may seem unimportant. These boys are ready at all times to step into the shoes of their brothers upon the coach's command. They must go onto the field prepared to carry out his instructions to the best of their ability. These fellows are taken in and out of the game frequently, which proves they are indeed a vital part of the team. They are receiving good experience from this policy and are the boys who will help lead the next year's team into a successful season. 'O' To these boys goes the admiration of the entire squad, and also the admiration of an endless number of spectators. The chances of the scrubs to star in a game are small, but their courage and determination to stick through the season, despite this fact, is large. They practiced faithfully, night after night, helping to strengthen the first and second squads in their tackling, guarding, passing, and punting. Nevertheless, they were given little opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in public. Therefore, we say, hats off to the scrubs! May they continue to carry on their duties, remembering that they soon may step into the shoes of the first and second string players. left to Right, First Row: 8. Cochran, W. Smith, S. Sorrells, H.

Poge Thirty-seven WHAT DO YOU With several of last year's lettermen returning, the C. H. S. basketball season started with great success. The first game, played in the early part of December, gave the victory to the Virden Eagles; but the Trojans had had only one week of practice to their credit. The new coach, Fred Rittschof, presented the squad with many new types of plays and methods of trickery. After practicing these faithfully for some time, the group demonstrated to several of the other teams that they would have tough competition when meeting the Trojans. In the early part of January, four of the members of the first string and one second team player were inducted into the U. S. Armed Forces. This caused quite a hardship on the Clifton team but the remaining boys worked hard in an attempt to fill this vacancy. Defeating the Duncan Wildcats, the Morenci Wildcats, the Pima Rough Riders, the Virden Eagles, the Globe Tigers, and the Thatcher Eagles, the Trojans motored to the Eastern Conference Tournament, which was held in Miami, Arizona, this year. There they were defeated by the powerful Safford Bulldogs; they defeated the Morenci and Pima teams and then were defeated by the Globe Tigers, thus eliminating them from the tournament. This completed the season, but with several returning lettermen and other experienced players, the prospects for next year ar very favorable. This year's lettermen were: Tanis Madrid, Dee Nutt, Edward Tomp, Lester Wright, Gordon Gilpin, Charles Spoon, Rudy Valencia, Forrest Wilkerson, Julio Tavison, Joe Lara, Jimmy Gomez, Bernadino Perez, and Arthur Marquez.

Due to lack of experience, the second team's schedule of victories were rather limited. However, all of the boys that were on the squad received much benefit from it in the way of experience and enjoyment. Coach Fred Rittschof taught the boys many new things and also helped prepare them for squads in the future. At the beginning of the season a large number of boys were out for practice: but after a week s study of their ability, the Coach made the necessary cut to I 5. The second team was given the opportunity to motor to Safford, Duncan, Morenci, and Virden to engage in entanglements with those opponents. Only two of these games were won. Page Thirty-nine VICTORY, VICTORY Left to Right, First Row: R. Cabral, S. Madrid, M. Stuart, Marie Lopez, K. Tomp, C. Schade. Second Row: I. Mortinez, L. Schade, A. Brown, E. Shannon, Minnie Lopez, B. Gray, J. Morales. Under the excellent coaching of Misses Elizabeth Shannon and Claire Gibbens, the volleyball team went right to the top this year by winning the district championship. However, this victory was not attained without much hard work and many hours of practice, and without some disappointments. The very first game of the season, October 5. was lost to Duncan by a score of 17-18. This game was followed by a victory over the Virden team on the 21st. The second game, played with Duncan on the 26th, was a joyous victory for Clifton. When on the 4th of November the girls motored to Virden, a victory of 14 points was attained. The district tournament was a heated and close one. With five schools participating—Thatcher, Virden, Duncan, Morenci, and Clifton—competition was keen. Thatcher, Morenci, and Virden were eliminated, leaving Duncan and Clifton to battle it out in the finals. In a very close game, Clifton won 22-24. This year's lettermen were: Minnie Lopez, Jessie Morales, Ines Martinez, Betty Gray, Louise Schade, Mary Stuart, Alice Brown, Kathlyn Tomp, Marie Lopez, Ruth Cabral, Charlotte Schade, and Susan Madrid. Page Forty THAT'S OUR CRY Left to Right, First Row: R. Cabral, S. Madrid, P. Gray, L. Chaudoin, M. Roybal, A. Manuz, M. Lopez. Second Row: O. Sandoval, E. Bailon, M. Barrigo, C. Gibbens, K. Liem, C. Schade, C. Carmichael, L. Brown. The volleyball second team consisted chiefly of Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior girls and, under the coaching of Miss Claire Gibbens, had quite a successful year. The girls were very fortunate in being able to make all of the out-of-town trips except the tournament games. Due to transportation difficulties, the school bus was not available for such journeys: therefore, private cars had to be secured in order to transport the entire squad. Several of the girls, Marie Lopez, Ruth Cabral, Charlotte Schade, and Susan Madrid, played on both first and second teams, acting as substitutes for the first. By following this method, it gave them experience which will prepare them for next year’s team. For the first time in C. H. S. history eighth grade girls were allowed to work with the other squad members. Patsy Gray. Minnie Barriga. and Antonia Manuz were the three selected. They were not allowed to play in all of the games but their everyday practice taught them much about the fundamentals of the high school method of playing the sport. Poge Forty-one We've got a high school; we've got a yell TENNIS In 1944, a large group of tennis players turned out. After the first four weeks of playing and challenging, all were eliminated with the exception of the main squad, which was made up of about 15 people. The boys were: Tanis Madrid, Dee Nutt, Edward Tomp, Gene Cosper, Arthur Marquez, and Renny Parque. The girls were: Betty Cook, Kathlyn Tomp, Pat Rogge, Betty Gray, Ophelia Sandoval, Ines Martinez, and Edna Baker. Two tournament games were played with Duncan during the year. At the end of the season, six of the players went to Safford for a tennis tournament. The teams participating were Globe, Miami, Safford, Duncan, and Clifton. Tanis Madrid, representing Clifton, won first place in boys singles which gave him the opportunity to compete in the state meet in Tucson. Later in the season Clifton again played Duncan. The people making the trip were: Tanis Madrid in boy's singles: Betty Cook in girl's singles: and Gene Cosper, Edward Tomp, Betty Gray, and Pat Rogge, in the doubles. There were only four lettermen in tennis last year: Kathlyn Tomp, Tanis Madrid, Edward Tomp, and Renny Parque. Mr. James Patton was coach for the year. CHEER LEADERS Having the cheer leaders selected by the Advisory Council was a new method instituted this year. Those desiring to participate demonstrated their abilities before the Council, and were voted upon. Betty Gray, Charlyne Carmichael, and Cleo Jimenez were chosen to represent CHS, with Charlotte Schade serving as an alternate in the absence of any of the above. Proceeds raised from the Band Concert given last year, bought new uniforms for the cheer leaders. Donning maroon and gold beanies, maroon satin slacks, and school sweaters, they were truly representatives of the school. Needing some new yells for the school, a campaign was started. This proved to be very successful and created more enthusiasm for the remaining pep assemblies and games. This year the cheering section was better than it has been in the past, and the students showed a great deal of interest in all school activities. Pape Forty two TR-Rah! Rah! OJ-Rah! Rah! ANS Left to Right: R. DeLeon, N. Hick), A. Pointer, H. Boron. Mr. Joe Granieri successfully coached a squad of approximately 15 boys during the 1944 season. Due to war transportation difficulties, the boys journeyed to only one out-of-town meet, which was held in Safford. However, these members truly proved their outstanding abilities by winning enough honors to allow them to participate in the annual University Week held in Tucson, Arizona, each year. Unfortunately these boys, Arthur Marquez, Julio Tavison, Joe Lara, and Jimmy Cabral, were unable to attend. The lettermen for the year were: Arthur Marquez, Julio Tavison, Joe Lara, Jimmy Cabral, Jimmy Ford, and Tony Parque. This year a greater number of boys than ever before turned out for the track squad, numbering around 25. Although there were no experienced boys remaining on the team, Coach Ritts-chof worked faithfully, endeavoring to develop their talents. The Duncan track squad gave the green'' Trojan group quite a beating in a meet held in Duncan, March 23, and again, in Clifton, April 20. The district meet was held in Safford, April 27 and Clifton placed fourth in it. Other schools participating were: Miami, Globe, Safford, and Duncan.

Ines Martinez, Lester Wright, Reynold North, Geraldine Smith, and Novice McReynolds. Initiation followed, and with these ceremonies came many laughs, as well as a great deal of pep being stimulated among the students. The initiates were required to wear maroon and gold ribbons in their braided hair, different colored socks, their clothes wrong side out. and a sign, Pep Club Member. To help create enthusiasm for the coming football game against the Safford Bulldogs, they were asked to give rousing cheers for the Trojans and sing school songs during the noon hour. The Pep Club's original purpose was to promote pep in the school, and their initiation helped carry out this theme. The club also decorated the goal posts for the football games.

It was the first year of Coach Rittschof, sponsor of the group, in assisting them in their various activities. There were 40 members in the club this year. 15 of whom were new. Since there were so many initiates, plans were made for them to do something constructive as part of their initiation. These plans resulted in their supervising the white washing of the C and making all preparations for the Maroon and Gold Ball. To become a member of the C Club, a student must have earned a letter in some sport sometime during his four years in high school or he must have been a cheer leader or manager of a team.

Initiation followed in regular form and everyone ordered his membership pin. On May 10 two Roman plays were presented to the C. H. S. student body. They were: ' Pyramus and Thisbe and The Lamentable Death of Julius Caesar, a musical tragedy in three scenes. Other parts of the program were songs sung in Latin by the entire Club. The Roman Banquet, which was planned in the early part of the year, was carried out in Roman style.

Meetings were held the first Tuesday of each month with the members playing games, listening to Spanish records and singing Spanish songs, giving Spanish talks, and hearing talks by various outside speakers who had been in Spanishspeaking countries. Special note was taken of Pan-American Day and Cerventes Day in April. During the year the club joined a national organization in New York called the Hispanic Institute, which sent literature and suggestions for meetings. The members of the Spanish Club climaxed the year by having a very successful Spanish dinner. Page Forty-nine GIRLS LEAGUE—A girl that has friends Left to Right: G. Smith, A. Neely, B. Crisp, N.

The class representatives chosen to serve on the Council were: Senior, Kathlyn Tomp: Junior, Teresa Morones; Soph- omore, Esperanza Romero: and Freshman, Cruz Gutierrez. These Council members met regularly and at these gatherings discussed the program for the year, appointed sub-committees to plan parties, and handled the financial duties. Each class took complete charge of one meeting during the year, and at these, a great deal of hidden talent was discovered—vocalists, dramatists, poets, and the like. Of the social affairs, the Co-Ed Dance, which was exclusively for girls, will long be remembered. This was held in October. Half of the girls dressed up as men. They brought corsages, traded dances, and showed the girls the proper courtesies due them. Class representatives were in charge of the floor show. This dance proved to be such a success that it is hoped it will become an annual affair. The Girls League Ball, which has been traditional in CHS for a number of years, was held in February and carried out a Sweetheart theme. The girls worked hard to make this successful and although there was a shortage of materials, they reconstructed old decorations and presented one of the most beautifully decorated ball-rooms in school history.

The original purpose of Girls League was to promote better feelings and understanding among the girls of the school. This year CHS members went a little further with this idea and sponsored a Play Day in Clifton for Girls League members of the Virden and Morenci schools. This was held in March and left many fond memories with all of the girls. They were divided into teams bearing the names of different women’s branches of the service: and the day was devoted to playing volleyball, basketball, badminton, horseshoes, baseball, card games, and dancing. During the noon hour, all ate together, and at that time, each organization presented a short skit. There are approximately 75 girls in the Clifton organization. It is the largest club in school and has been especially active this year. Miss Neely, although new to this type of work, has contributed many more suggestions, and with her assistant. Miss Gibbens, has built a strong membership. Fog Fifty-one HONOR SOCIETY—Wisdom is Left to Right, First Row: E. Romero, T. Morales, M. Lopez, B McBride, K. Tomp, B. Crisp, S. Madrid. Second Row: L.

A hamburger fry was held at the Laugharn home and along with a great deal of fun, election of new officers and other business was considered. For the first time in several years the members were again able to order pins. The ones that were chosen were gold and had the letters CHS inscribed on an open book with a torch as a background. The aims of the Honor Society were to sponsor more activities, thus endeavoring to stimulate scholastic interest among the students.

Keeping this in mind, and profiting by its mistakes, the staff published one of the best papers in school history. There were a few additional improvements made on the paper this year. One was having all the artists make up their own ads instead of copying them. Several lunch meetings were held throughout the year to discuss the paper and its various problems. The results of the judgings of the Scholastic Press Association, at Minneapolis, Minnesota, were also read. A very enthusiastic and cooperative staff helped to make this year's Desert Song one that was pleasant to publish and interesting to read. Left to Right, First Row: K. Tomp, A. Stanton, J.

Leona Ashby Virginia Kendall—Director The Hellers were flat dwellers living up town. They were not poor and yet they were far from rich—a family that managed to eke out a satisfied life by all the children's going to work. They could afford a colored woman on Monday. They lived in a five room apartment, and usually spent most of their time sitting in the dining room; but as the painters and paperhangers were busy doing over the dining room, they used the parlor as a general utility room. Thus, when the scene opened, the family was gathered there, prepati g for dinner, which was served shortly after the raisirj£ f the curtain. Page Fifty-six and the art long Father was a man who loved his family but liked to give them the impression that he was very stern. He desired obedience from them—especially from his mischievious son, Willie. Mother was a loveable woman who often complained about her ills, yet when Louise's boy friend called, she forgot them in a minute and put up a very good front, to impress him. The plot of the ' Family Upstairs was centered around the fact that Louise, a business girl, hadn't had many experiences in love; and that her mother was trying to marry her to a suitable man. Louise was just 21 the previous March, and Mrs. Heller thought it was high time she became a matron. When Louise began to receive frequent visits from Pvt. Charles Grant, this pleased Mrs. Heller very much but unknown to her, the two were already in love and weren't in need of her advice. The play proceeded in this manner, with Mrs. Heller trying to make a match between the young people, with the remainder of the family doing what they saw fit, and with Louise declaring to Charles that she wouldn't marry him because her mother had exerted pressure to get him to propose. Their true feelings for each other were revealed in the end, and in the happy group we also found Mrs. Grant, Miss Calahan, and Herbert Grant. Three blind mice even were seen running through the halls the day the Dramatics Club initiated their members. What fond memories Wtjfkt from the Girls' League Sweetheort Boll.

After the presentation of the Senior play, Family Upstairs, there were several new members to be initiated. They were instructed to dress as nursery rhyme characters for an entire day, and when approached by a member of the club, it was necessary for them to recite their rhymes. This proved to be very comical for students, as well as for teachers, and after this demonstration, they were joyously welcomed into the association. In February, a picnic was held along the Gila River, and the afternoon proved to be great sport for those attending. To be eligible for the Dramatic Club it is necessary to have taken a course in dramatics or public speaking, to have been in some high school play, or to have helped on a play crew.

M. S. Pinafore, the operetta presented by the A Capella Choir this year. It is a story about the captain of a ship—Captain Corcoran—who is trying to arrange the marriage of his daughter, Josephine, to Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B., First Lord of the Admiralty. However, much to the Captain's despair, she falls in love with Ralph Rackstraw, a lowly sailor. The plot develops this theme as other cast members also appear—Buttercup, Cousin Hebe, Dick Deadeye, Boatswains, sailors, and Sir Joseph's female relatives. The performances were given April 5 and 6 and proved to be a great success. Much recognition should be given to Mr. Carroll Weber, director, and to Kathryn Liem, pianist. Page Sixty BAND—Theirs be the music, the color, the glory, the gold Since the organization of a high school band several years ago, this group has always participated wholeheartedly in school activities. Mr. Carroll E. Weber, director, returning for his second year in this position, was forced to rebuild this branch of the musical department, due to the loss of graduating seniors and other students. However, pupils in pre-band showed great enthusiasm and put out much effort to join their fellow musicians. Crowds at football games again saw and heard the band when it helped stimulate pep by playing various marches and school songs. Marching demonstrations were also given between halves of the games. An exceptionally outstanding performance will be remembered at the Clifton-Morenci game. At this time, joint band and pep squad units formed an M and C. respectively. After the formation, a yell, led by the cheer leaders, was given. Upon conclusion of the yell, pigeons with maroon and gold streamers tied to their legs were released, forming a very spectacular and beautiful sight. Much applause was given, and favorable comments were heard concerning this drill. Basltetball season was also highlighted by the appearance of the band. The annual concert, given February 2, was very successful. The money raised from this performance will be used to purchase new music for the department. Social entertainment has not been neglected during the year. During October, Mr. Weber feted the members at a gathering in the band room. Refreshments were served, games played, and technicolor films were shown, some of which included students in CHS. Following the band concert, a dance was held in the band room, to which each member was permitted to invite a guest. As a last tribute to the Seniors mencement Exercises. e band played at Baccalaureate and Com- Poge Sixty-one The A Cappella Choir marked its second anniversary with a full schedule of activities this year. Mr. Carroll E. Weber, director, presented his group at many school functions, including assemblies. Continuing last year's practice of singing Christmas carols, the choir offered a similar treat this year to students in the primary, Chase Creek, South Clifton grade school, and high school buildings. At a Bond Rally in November, the vocalists sang for townspeople at the Martin Theater presenting the ballad, I Hear America Singing. Left to Right, First Row: C. Schode, J. Morales, A. Stanton, J.

Several members from the A Capella Choir have also displayed their talents as guests of the Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the main portion of the cast in H. M. S.

Page Sixty three STUDY HALL-Our labor is for future hours By far the largest room in the high school building and undoubtedly the most widely used one is the study hall. At all periods of the day students not enrolled in a class are found in this section of the building. The study hall affords each pupil an opportunity to devote some school time to his daily assignments, reduces the amount of home work to be done, and also allows the students the privilege of using the library for reading or for looking up reference material. Here, class members of the 8th grade and of Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior groups are found mingled at all hours of the day. This tends to bring about better acquaintances. Boys' and girls' physical education classes are offered to all of the students twice a week and this course is taken during the regular study hall periods. Therefore, on only one day a week can a complete study hall be found. Page Sixty-five AERONAUTICS—Prepared for the air age The Aeronautics class which was for Senior boys, or boys who would be 18 before the end of May, was taught by Mr. Stephenson. The class started the second semester of the school year and thus gave the 7 boys taking the course a half unit credit. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays were set as the days that the class convened. The subjects studied were. Aerodynamics, Navigation, Weather, and Civil Aeronautics regulation. The main purpose of the course was to prepare the boys for military training and to give them a better understanding of the part aeronautics will play in future years.

VOCATIONAL SHOP—The mold of man's fortune is in his own hands Mr. Guido Cislaghi is the instructor, and under his careful guidance, the class has done a number of construction projects throughout the city, as well as for the school, such as building H. M. S. Pinafore” scenery, repairing the school buildings, erecting the scenery for the grade school operetta, Kitchen Clock, and transferring F. H. A. buildings from Plantsite to Clifton for Boy Scout rooms. At the beginning of school, the class consisted of 16 boys, but 6 of them were inducted into various branches of the service. They left in January. Other classes along this same line of work are the Industrial Arts and Mechanical Drawing courses. The former teaches principally how to build such articles as desks, cedar chests, floor lamps, radio tables, bookcases, and other home furnishings. In the study of mechanical drawing, the boys go into a more detailed study of the work of constructing objects. Pago Sixty seven HOME EC—It is meat, drink left to Right: A. Neely, J. Boroy, C. Gutierrez, H. Membrila, A. Gamboo, S. Ochoo, C. Gonzales, B. Kelley, C. Morones, C. Sandoval, L. Olivas. Home Economics is a class to which all the girls look forward when they enter high school. Not only is it useful in teaching the principles of sewing and cooking, but also is useful in teaching such topics as personality, child care, food contents, color schemes, proper dresses for individuals, care of the hair, room designing, and other information that is useful to the girls. This year the Home Ec. girls worked very hard making beautiful wool suits, cotton dresses, and tailored dresses for themselves. In passing the door, a person would inhale an enticing odor of baked cookies, bread, cakes, and pies. Following each semester of either cooking or sewing, the classes would celebrate by planning and giving large parties. The first of the parties was in the form of an enchilada dinner, cooked by the students themselves. Guests, afterwards commenting on the dinner, said that professionals could not have done better. The eighth grade Home Ec. class ended its successful semester of sewing cotton dresses by attending a St. Patrick's party. Poge Sixty eight and cloth to us One of the projects of the year was to fix up the Home Economics department. Cupboards, chairs, and tables were painted and washed. The bulletin board, having been put in order, was cared for constantly the remainder of the year. Miss Neely, the Home Economics teacher, is greatly to be commended for her work in leading the students to a most successful and pleasant year in Home Economics. left to Right: S. Ochoa, B.

Page Sixty-nine COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT-He had talents equal to business Upon entering high school, nearly all students are desirous of taking a commercial course. Due to this enthusiasm, there is usually a shortage of machines and other equipment in comparison to the number of people wanting them. In previous years, Clifton High School has offered a more extensive commercial program than is taught this year. Bookkeeping and General Business were taught in the past, but Shorthand and Typing I and II were the only courses which the students could select for this school term. The department is equipped with 10 typewriters, Elite and Pica type; one adding machine; one mimeograph machine; and one ditto machine. A great deal of outside work is brought in and this gives the students experience which helps prepare them for actual office work. The shorthand members strive to pass National OGA tests: take dictation and type letters for the school superintendent and the school principal, Mr. Liem and Mr. Belzner; and do other similar work. The composition of the school paper, The Desert Song, and the yearbook. The Trojan is also done in this department. Page Seventy LIBRARY—A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever Every period of the day students can be seen in the library at the front of the study hall, reading magazines, newspapers, books, or looking up reference material in the various sets of Encyclopedias, so generously provided by C. H. S. A wide selection of magazines are offered for the pupils' use at all times. Such popular ones as Good Housekeeping, Popular Science, Time, Life, McCalls, Reader's Digest, American, True Comics, Nature, Occupations, Scholastic, and several others are found in the library. These are of great value to the students in finding information to be used in their studies. A newspaper stand, constructed by the Vocational Shop boys, holds a series of up-to-date newspapers. A large variety of books are arranged on the shelves. These cover material in many fields, including science, drama, history, and English. All types of fiction are also to be found there.

Little Willie, exhibiting his skill in riding a new bicycle, came down the street in front of his home: Look, Mom! he cried, folding his arms. No hands! Again he came into view, this time coasting with his feet off the pedals: Look, Mama! No feet! Half an hour passed and Little Willie again put in his appearance. This time, somewhat subdued, he gurgled: Look, Mama! No teeth! A soldier had been peeling potatoes until his hands ached. Turning to a fellow K.P., he said: What does the sergeant mean when he calls us K.P.? His co-worker gave a moment's thought to the matter; then replied, Keep Peelin'! Hitler, inspecting his troops, asked one soldier: What would be your last wish if a Russian bomb fell near you? The soldier replied: I would wish that my beloved Fuehrer could be at my side. A Texas farmer was plowing a field with one horse, but he was yelling, Giddap, Jack. Giddap, Casey. Giddap, Jerry. Giddap, Cromwell. A stranger passing by asked, How many names does your horse have? Oh, said the farmer, his name is Jack, but he doesn’t know his own strength. So I put blinders on him and yell those other names. He thinks he has other horses helping him. Seventy-fwo 16. Boys' P.

Poge Seventy-Three HOME NURSING—Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness Junior and Senior girls again enrolled in the Home Nursing class which was started in the early part of March. The class met two days a week, Mondays and Wednesdays, and was offered under the auspices of the American Red Cross. The twenty-six hour course consisted of lectures; practical work; such as planning menus, taking temperatures, bed-making, planning diets for the sick, giving bed baths; and other nursing procedures especially necessary for home use. This course is offered as a part of the War Effort program, which Clifton High School is cooperating with to the fullest extent. Mrs. Fern Nickle, school nurse, was the instructor. By studying this division of medical work, pupils become more familiar with it and are better prepared to meet emergencies. Students interested in the nursing profession are also given this opportunity to verify their beliefs. The final examination, given April II, completed the course, and those passing it were awarded Home Nursing certificates. Poge Seventy four JUNIOR RED CROSS-lf I have done my best, I'll be content The Junior Red Cross Representatives were selected from each eighth grade group. Those selected were: Barbara Potter from the 8-E s. and Patsy Gray from the 8-0's. A membership drive resulted in 100% enrollment of the entire grade. On March 13, Mrs. Dorothy Danenhauer McCleod of San Francisco, talked to the members about the Junior Red Cross and what can actively be done for the people who suffer from the effects of the war. As a result, Mrs. McCleod s talk created enthusiasm throughout the eighth grade, who packed 50 boxes of need for school children in war-torn Europe. Many useful things such as favors, stuffed toys, wash cloths, towels, and other things, were made in the Home Economics Class. In their Industrial Arts work the boys made lap boards, trays, articles to make dinner trays more attractive, and articles that would bring comfort and joy to the hospital patients in America and abroad. A Trojanettes organization was started under this Junior Red Cross program whereby the members kept care of children while their mothers were away. Junior Red Cross boxes were displayed in the annual Spring Exhibit held in the High School Auditorium.
