T rojcm 1971 Philip Alvidrez Editor-in-Chief Volume 38 Clifton High School Clifton, Arizona Dedications, which used to be tra- ditional. have been noticeably absent from recent TROJAN editions, and with good reason. Repeated annually, they tend to become hopelessly routine and meaningless. This year, however, we feel justified in reviving the tradition.

In Appreciation, We Dedicate this Book to Taking time out from a busy schedule. Mr. Patton discusses minor problems with students. In 1942, Mr. James M. Patton came to CHS as a history and biology teacher. During that year and the next, he also assumed basketball and tennis coaching duties. After spending '44-'45 as principal of the Chase Creek Elementary School, Mr. Patton returned to CHS, where he has remained except for a three-year period, '50-'53. He became principal at CHS in 1964. Mr. Patton received his B.S. from Ohio University in 1936, and his M.A. from the U of A in 1944. Perhaps his greatest contribution to the community lies in his master's thesis — a comprehensive history of Greenlee County. Now, after twenty-six years of devotion to the Clifton schools, Mr. Patton is retiring. With the dedication of this book, we express our thanks and appreciation for his service to CHS and the community. 2 LEFT: Accepting trophy from a past volleyball team.

Clifton High Undergoes Year of Extremes r--- ’T $ £ 1970—71, perhaps more than in years past, was a year of ups and downs at CHS. In October the traditional Homecoming parade was canceled due to road construction. A group from the U of A conducted an evaluation of our facilities, and by December rumors were flying that this was to be the last year for CHS. Western Day, postponed until late spring because of a tight schedule, finally had to be canceled. On the up side, a championship basketball team pumped new life into the student body. Baseball and tennis picked up in the spring to continue the winning ways. The National Honor Society con- ducted its annual initiation, pledg- ing two junior girls. Finally, in support of the Woman's Club ecol- ogy campaign, art students vividly painted trash cans for judging and eventual placement about town. ABOVE: Joining the ecology drive.

Students, for the most part, were able to align their schedules to match their interests. Homework and study occupied many hours. From time to time, though, thoughts strayed from academics. In quiet moments students daydreamed of the future or pondered the turbulent current events of the day. Then, as some tired of the rigors of school life, studies and daydreams gave way to rest and relaxation.

Some quietly took to personalizing their lockers, while others played on the lawn before school. About midway through the year the latest fad, clackers, invaded CHS, bringing with it a multitude of bruised forearms. Toward the end of the year women's fashion made its impact when fourteen girls wore the new hot pants to school and were ultimately sent home. The result was a picnic up the river. Wearing “Pepsi T-shirt is Joe Martinez. 11 Assemblies, Pep Rallies Provide Break Throughout the year a variety of assemblies were held in the CHS gym, providing needed relief from classroom life. Pep rallies were held on Fridays before athletic contests, and two other assemblies, presented by the National School Assemblies Agency and sponsored by Student Council, were staged. On October 22, Bob Yeager presented a program entitled Around the World with Reptiles. Mr. Yeager illustrated his show with his pets, ranging from a turtle to an eleven-foot anaconda captured in South America. from Routine Physical fitness was the subject on January 18, as circus performer Leo Gasca displayed his gymnastic talents before a captive audience. Operating on the theme fitness is fun, Mr. Gasca spiced his acrobatic performance with an array of comic touches. Along a more serious vein, the annual sheriff's assembly was held in May. Headed by county sheriff Forrest Wilkerson, the program dealt with the dangers of drug abuse. Guest speakers were Steve Vukcevich, ASIS Superintendent, and Vern Friedli of Morenci High. At the basketball awards assembly,Larry Morgan receives his varsity letter. 12 Competition yells between classes were a regular feature at pep rallies.

Peter Frasquillo, Superstar -These and other campaign posters adorned the walls of CHS as students anticipated the annual Student Council elections. The race for president was hotly contested, with three candidates in the running for that office. By coin- cidence, the election was held on April Fool's Day. Newly-elected officers for 1971-72 are: Becky Mendoza, sec.: Lori Navarrete, treas.; Karen Pollock, pres.; Harold Saenz, vice-pres. 14 CAST: FRONT ROW: Rita Alvarez, Midge Taylor; Yolanda Carbajal, Connie Andrews; Rebecca Reyes, Ginny Lou Stone. 2nd: Lydia Gonzalez, Sarah Patch; Anna Hernandez.

The much coveted undefeated season slipped from the grasp of the Clifton Trojan football squad on the first game of the season. The Cowboys from Willcox outclassed the Trojan gridders by a score of 15-0 and ruined the hopes of a much-talked-about 11—0 season. Though this first loss was a great disappointment, there was still speculation for a conference crown. One of the more interesting games on the path to that goal was played against St. Johns, another team eyeing the same title. The final tally was Clifton 1, St. Johns 0, with the outcome being decided by the team with the deepest penetration in sudden death. The final two games of the season buried all wishful thinking on the part of the Trojan squad. Head Coach Andrew Brown ended his first season in that position with an overall 5-4 record. Joe Morales and Bob Ziemba were selected to the All-Conference of- fensive first team. 23 Halfback George Sandoval tries des- perately to elude Mustang defender.

Two Ties With M or end Only Blemish Coach Michael Navidomskis engineered his young and inexperienced squad to an undefeated season marred only by two ties to arch-rival Morenci. Playing an abbreviated schedule of just five games, due to a rainout against the Duncan Wildkats, the Trojans managed to down Thatcher's Eagles twice and the Wildkats once in addition to the ties with Morenci. Sophomore quarterback Eddie Campos threw for seven touchdowns on the year five of them to halfback Arthur Provencio, also a sophomore. The defense, however, was anchored by fresh- men as Steve Starr, John and Gil- bert Padilla proved to be standouts along with soph. Danny Hatcher. The victorious season provided varsity coach Andrew Brown with an optimistic outlook for the coming year. Pass is made complete by Ernesto Ruiz.

Similar to the legendary phoenix bird, Clifton High School's cagers rose from the ashes (a dismal 7-18 win-loss record for the 1969-70 season) to life again. This past season ended with the Trojans sporting a 19-6 record, which included a first-round encounter in the State Tournament. During a 12-game stretch in the regular season Coach Dick Looney and his players went through without a loss. Upon reviewing certain games it can be noted that the rival was Round Valley in the Trojans' best and worst games (field goal percentage-wise). Clifton shot an accurate 60 per cent in the first contest, but that fell to a miserable 18 per cent in the last meeting. Trying to decrease Tombstone's lead in the State Tournament engagement is Felix Quinonez as he puts up a short jumper near the basket. 19-6 Mark Best in Years-, Top-ranked Elks Toppled VARSITY SCOREBOARD CLIFTON OPPONENT 46 Morenci 43 79 San Simon 65 52 Morenci 61 72 San Sirhon 50 EAC Christmas Tournament 67 Duncan 52 56 Pima 72 81 Ft.

Tourney play afforded the team a different experience, as in some situations three games were played on consecutive evenings To secure an impressive season and record, a team must win its home games and score victories on the road. The Trojans accomplished this feat, as they won eleven out of sixteen road games and lost only once-the second Round Valley game-on their home court. Two members of the B-East championship team were named to post-season all-star teams. Senior Larry Morgan, the team's top rebounder and second leading scorer, was named to the Class B All-State third team. Sam Blair, the Trojans' top scorer, was selected to the B-East All-Conference second team at guard position. Displaying the fact that blocking is not confined to football is Dan Coffeen. in Season Opener, 46-43 Junior guard Sam Blair (31) and sophomore forward Dennis Scott (33) try desperately to defense a hard-driving Tombstone Yellowjacket. 32 Gaining possession of a jump ball is important, especially when the basket is this close.

Coach Bill Holloway and his players secured an even 9-9 record. During the season the easy victories were offset with several heartbreakers. In four select games the Trojans won by a total of 183 points! But three games were lost by a sum of five points—by two to Round Valley and Alchesay and by one to a stubborn Thatcher team.

II of 18 Th incladsQualify for State Despite not having many boys to work with, Coach Michael Navidomskis managed to take most of his hard-drilled team to the State Meet at Mesa Community College, where eventually Fred Barquin was the only Trojan to receive honors. The track team usually fields an annual team of about thirty members, but the 1971 edition had only eighteen on the roster. Up to District and State the team produced a successful regular season, winning the Clifton Invitational and easily defeating Alchesay in a dual meet. A notable feat was accomplished at the Benson Relays when the Trojan two-mile relay set a new meet record. Clifton clinched third out of nine teams present. In the Safford Invitational, the Trojans came in fourteenth from the twenty-two teams there. The thinclads finished strong at District, capturing third place in the conference. Those who qualified for State were: Fred Barquin (880, high jump, broad jump, mile relay), Philip Garcia (low hurdles, 440 relay). Bob Ziemba (shot put, 440 relay), James Ruiz (low and high hurdles), Philip Martinez (880), Carlos Lujan (220, mile relay), Victor Sanchez (440, mile relay), Dennis Scott (mile relay), Manuel Aguilar (440 relay), Eddie Campos (mile), and Earl Laney (440 relay). 36 Making a switch from baseball due to a broken wrist, Eddie Campos competes at State.

Morenci, Thatcher, and San Simon were other opponents. The Trojanette netters this year consisted of two seniors, three juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen. This gave the team valuable experience due to the fact that there were returning players. Once again this season the girls were able to compete in District, which was held at the Eastern Arizona College courts in Thatcher. Three members managed to place. Carolyn Licano went as a single and managed to come in second. Evanna Coronado and Laura Gonzalez doubled and came in second also. These three girls were qualified to attend the State Tournament, which was held at the Phoenix Tennis Center. The Clifton doubles team managed to capture the runner-up title.

Even with the lackluster schedule that they ended up with, the Trojan tennis team matured through the spring to end the season as the state champions. The result of numerous pre-season mix-ups were games with just Duncan and Morenci. Both confronted the Trojans four times. Clifton beat each twice, thus ending with an even 4-4 record. As the team entered District, only four teams were vying for top honors. Perennial powers Clifton and Duncan were the favorites, with Patagonia and St. David the underdogs. The local netters overpowered all rivals, as the Trojans compiled twelve points to Duncan's five (the nearest competitor). Their weak schedule evidently didn't hurt the Trojans at State, with Ronald Carter and Alex Morales winning the doubles championship and Ernest Villicana taking the runner-up spot in singles. These victories totaled enough points to give Clifton the team championship. A note of interest is that the boys tennis team brought home the only State Championship trophy in any sport during the year. 40 ABOVE: Sophomore Gary Bisson exhibits preparedness while taking a net position.

Trojans Drop Close Game at Tourney For the third time in the last four years the Trojan baseball team advanced to the State Tournament as reigning B-East Conference champs, and for the third consecutive time were thwarted in their quest for the state championship. After a slow start, which resulted in three losses in the first four games, the Trojans zipped to a 7-0 conference mark, outscoring their Class B opponents by over 10 to 1. The bubble burst, however, in the opening round of the State Tournament in Scottsdale, as David Silvas' run-scoring single in the ninth inning gave Florence a 3-2 triumph over the Trojans. On the year, Clifton hit .354 as a team with three players (Dan Coffeen, Arthur Provencio, and Sam Blair) batting over .500. Senior hurler Buddy Cueto compiled a 5-3 record with a 1.86 ERA. Two of his losses were decided by one run in extra-inning ballgames. Buddy Cueto, Sam Blair, Dan Coffeen, Arthur Provencio, and Steve Ruiz were named to the All-Conference team, while Alex Pineda and Joe Morales received Honorable Mention. The Trojan Jay Vee played a four-game schedule for the first time ever. The team split games with Duncan, taking the first encounter 13—2, but dropping the second as wildness plagued the Trojan hurlers. The Jay Vee also succeeded in downing rival Morenci by a score of 9-6. A previous meet- ing of the two resulted in a 2—2 tie. 43 Varsity Promotes Spirit Linda Montoya Maria Rojas Patsy Campos 44 ABOVE: Varsity boosters Patsy Campos and Linda Montoya cheer at Trojan game.

The line consisted of Linda Zimmermann, Linda Tracy, Anna Hernandez, Becky Reyes. Mercy Cervantez, Debbie Vozza, Lulu Derr. Sylvia Coronado, Rita Alvarez, and Millie Granado. The 1970-71 pom-pons deserve much merit for the spirit they bring to CHS. Cheerleaders Spark Trojan Efforts The varsity cheerleaders attended a week-long cheering camp this summer at Eastern Arizona College. This camp is sponsored by the National Cheer leading Association. Cheers and stunts are taught, per- formed, and evaluated. Clifton cheerleaders earned two superior awards, one excellent and one out- standing ribbon. Throughout the year the varsity squad, together with the J.V., helped to ignite the spirit within the student body.

Romeo and Juliet Provides Future Nurses Work as Candy Stripers Future Nurses of America and Girls' League both provided extra-curricular opportunities for CHS girls. Several FNA members spent spare hours doing volunteer work as Candy Stripers at the Morenci Hospital. While running errands and performing various routine jobs, these girls gained insight into the functioning of a modern real-life hospital. Highlighting the year for the Girls' League was the annual formal held in the fall. A Time for Us , the love theme from Romeo and Juliet, was chosen as the motif.

FT A Members Encounter a Teacher’s Day Student teaching was the biggest highlight of the year for FTA. Under the leadership of Evanna Coronado, Jeanne Merrill, Lydia Rodela, and Donna Johnson, the Future Teachers were able to ob- serve and teach at the Laugharn School. They were able to exper- ience the position of a real teacher. FTA also held a bake sale and sponsored a sock-hop to raise money for their treasury. Several members attended a workshop at Gilbert High School in Phoenix to become more informed about FTA principles and the var- ious duties of officers.

Bookkeeping students learned how to keep records of fictitious companies. The adding machine aided these students in their figuring and book-balancing. Dictating of records and typing up letters of transcript were the jobs of the shorthand students. It was hard work learning the squiggly lines, but many mastered it with speed and accuracy by the year's end. Typing I emphasized the basics of typing. Timed writings helped the students increase accuracy. Typing II students learned various methods of letter typing and keeping records. The use of the duplicator and ditto machine was also taught to those interested. 55 Busy Hands Acquire Skill in Home Ec. ‘ m a cN - V Under Mrs. Cosper's guidance the boys learned to cook and repair clothing, financial planning, selec- tion of house plans, and furniture arrangement. These things will come in handy whether they live alone or have families. The girls also acquired many skills, including sewing and cooking. This year, with Mrs. Cosper's help, a few girls entered the wool contest held in Pierce, Arizona. The girls also demonstrated skills they had acquired in sewing by holding a fashion show. Everyone was pleased with their creations. Budding Artists Students learned the basics of color and form in Art Class under the instruction of Mr. Oliver. Students experimented with many art forms, from papier-mache to hand letter- ing. Mr. Oliver demonstrated tech- niques of shading withcchalk, paint- ing with tempera and water colors, and how to use ink by itself or with water color. Other creative projects were plaster carving and making Christmas cards. Study Basics This class was a new experience for most of the students. Some discovered latent talents while others struggled vainly to complete simple projects. Field trips were enjoyed by all. Papier-mache Halloween horror masks turned out to be the fun project of the year. ¥ f Health Joins Sports in P.E. Classes For the first time ever the physical education department was combined with a required health course. Regular health classes met twice a week in addition to the usual sports activities. Both boys and girls played volleyball, basketball, and ping-pong. The girls P.E. classes also participated in softball, soccer, track, and badminton, while the boys undertook weight-lifting on the Universal gym. Late in the year a girls intramural softball team was formed, and two games were played after school against Duncan rivals. The teams split with Clifton taking the first contest, 13-3, and Duncan winning the second, 17-7. 59 Vocational Classes Offer Variety of Skills One of the stronger phases of Clif- ton High School's curriculum is the vocational department. Under the direction of Mr. Holmes and Mr. Romero courses were offered in woodshop, carpentry, metal shop, and auto mechanics. Woodshop classes explored the world of drafting, and individual projects were made to display at the annual exhibit at the year's end. Fundamentals of car maintenance were taught in auto shop, and stu- dents were given the opportunity to enhance their skills by working on their own cars. For the third straight year, delegates from Clifton participated in the Plymouth Troubleshooting Contest, which is held in Phoenix. 60 61 Labs and Tour Spice Science, Math Courses Laboratory experiments and a field trip to the Phelps Dodge computer center highlighted an active year in the science and math departments. While biology students were busy exploring the intestinal fortitude of frogs, chemistry classes studied the effects of varied chemical reactions and balanced complicated oxidation-reduction equations. Physics class conducted tests such as the Wheatstone bridge experiment pictured on this page. In the math department, courses were offered on beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. The Algebra II class bought their computer tour at the charity in the spring. 62 Languages, Social Sciences Employ Visual A ids, Reports. Memorizing and reciting poetry, gaining knowledge of literature's great masters, and learning correct English usage were just part of the requirements of the English depart- ment. English studies also included book reports and several different special assignments. The Spanish department used various devices to help students understand and learn the language. Memorizing sentences and listening from records proved helpful. America's heritage and world relations were emphasized by American history and world history courses. Much homework and the use of visual aids were common. Basic ideas of government were covered in civics. Reports on Arizona history familiarized students with their home state. Time was also spent studying the Arizona constitution. DO NOT ! PICK UP I HITCH-HIKERS 64 Administration Rejects Morenci High Offer After several months of deliberation, the Board of Education and Mr. Cislaghi were forced to reject an offer by Morenci High School which would have involved the bussing of Clifton students to MHS as early as the fall of 1971. Since Clifton High's re-evaluation and resulting reclassification by the North Central Association, several alternatives to the present situation were studied, the Morenci proposal being one such possibility given consideration. However, an expected ruling by the attorney general regarding the legality of the proposition failed to come before the deadline set by Morenci officials. As a result, students will remain at CHS, at least for the 1971-72 school year. Aiding the School Board in its decisions is Mr. Guido P. Cislaghi, Superintendent of Schools. A long-time member of the Clifton school system, Mr. Cislaghi received his B.A. and M.A. from Arizona State University. Mr. James M. Patton, CHS principal, received his B.A. from Ohio University and his M.A. from the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Mr. Albert Alvarado, after many years as shop teacher and track coach at CHS, left in November to assume a role as coordinator at South Mountain High in Phoenix. He was replaced by Roger Romero, a Trojan alumnus and one of five new faces on the faculty. In addition to Mr. Romero, Mr. Glen Nelson, Mr. Dennis Justus, Mr. Craig Coulter, and Mr. Andrew Brown all served in their first year at Clifton High. The year also saw changes brought about by faculty-administration relations. Female faculty members were given permission to wear pant suits to school, in keeping with the ever-moving fashion world. Along more serious lines, faculty members were instrumental in securing a new policy aimed at cutting down the growing rate of unexcused absences and tardies. Under the new system, students with perfect attendance were allowed to leave school early on those long Friday afternoons. 68 Albert Alvarado Craig Coulter In his Algebra II class.

Although not nearly as active as many senior classes in the past, the seniors did manage to take on their share of responsibility. Many students anxiously crammed for six-weeks and semester tests as they strove to pass the courses required for graduation. Others signed college applications, and several received scholarships and other financial aid. Part-time jobs were taken by some, and future job opportunities were carefully explored. Three members of the class married during the school year. Commencement exercises were held at Stanton Stadium on Thursday, May 27.

Enthusiastic juniors began the year eager to earn a reputation as the most spirited class at Clifton High. Although immersed in the study of American history and literature, as well as a variety of electives, the students took time to become involved in many extra-curricular activi- ties. In addition to the usual sockhops and bake sales, the juniors captured first place in the Christmas decorating contest. Murals and candy canes decked the hall of the gym, proclaiming the holiday spirit to one and all. Juniors also filled a majority of roles in the school play, Penny Antics. Debbie Van Ness played the lead role of Penny in a comedy dealing with the trials of obtaining a date for the prom. On the evening of April 24, the class sponsored the annual prom, revolving around the theme, Close to You. Mark Vinson fills Pepsi machine-one of the many jobs of Student Council.

Earning a good name for themselves and their school by participating in extra- curricular events, the class also spon- sored such activities as a sockhop and selling at a football concession. Decorators and artists of all shapes and sizes began to emerge as the sophomores decorated the top floor to earn second place in the Student Council Christmas contest. In an effort to gain fifty spirit points, many ambitious sophomores collected soda bottles and had a bake sale for the charity drive.

Although the boys quickly completed the whitewashing of the C , tradition fell as the girls neglected the customary cleaning of the trophy cases in the student lounge. The affront to tradition was soon for- gotten, however, as the busy year pressed on. Handbooks were printed and distributed to familiarize the fresh- men with school policy. Class officers were elected, and the new students were soon in the swing of things. A bake sale was held to raise money for the class treasury. Early in April the freshmen participated in contributing various kinds of food for the charity auction.

Above is the aftermath of two frantic weeks' work at the Jurado home. TROJAN STAFF: Philip Alvidrez Kim Charlesworth Evanna Coronado Dave Fenderson Vivian Gonzalez Victor Jurado Debbie Kerrigan Vicki Starr Ernest Villicana Bob Ziemba Steve Chaires Alan Patton Harold Saenz Mr. Glen B. Nelson, Advisor Well, it's finished. There were times during the year when I felt we would never see the end, but now it is finished. The photo at left seems to summarize the efforts of myself and the staff of the 1971 TROJAN as we struggled to overcome our inexperience. Looking back, how- ever, I feel that, in a way. our greenness was a blessing in disguise. Because our yearbook knowledge was somewhat shaky, we were free to experiment, and in doing so I think we have liberated the TRO- JAN from the conformist style of the past few years. That alone makes the extra hours of work especially worthwhile. I would like to express my gratitude for all the help I have received. First, a sincere thank you goes to Mrs. Elaine Pritchett and Dr. Joe Milner, my teachers at publications workshop. Then, of course, there is my staff, especially Vicki Starr and Victor Jurado. who often worked overtime to make this book a reality. I would also like to thank Mr. Patton and the faculty for tolerating our intrusions into their busy schedules. . .Mrs. Frank Alvidrez for invaluable aid in proof- read ing. . .Mrs. Julia Miller, our company representative, for special photographic aid. . .and Yearbook House for putting up with our missed deadlines.
