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
