HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1919. ATHER Time has finished recording the history of the Class of 1920 of Clifton High School and with a sigh of relief has lain down his pen. Truly it is no wonder the old fellow beams happily upon our departure from school. We have caused him no end of trouble, worry, and diffi- culties, by our four years of lively, animated high school training. Together, let us turn back the pages of this book of time and review the events of the past four years. In September 1916, sixty-eight Freshmen made their first appear- ance in Clifton High School. How our young hearts throbbed as we filed into the Assembly Hall! With anxious eyes wide with curiosity, we gazed about us upon the sea of faces, seeking for an acquaintance. From timid Freshmen we blossomed into Sophomores, then into Juniors, and we bloomed happily as Seniors. But are we changed? Undoubt- edly, with the exception of a few of our members who persist in re- maining small, the majority of us have sprung up and tower above many of our faculty. On October 21st, this unruly class, yes from the very beginning our boys and girls made themselves heard and felt, held its first meet- ing. Under the guidanse of Mrs. Grammar, Mrs. Ensminger and Mr. Dutcher we went through the very exciting business of electing our class officers. Mr. Litchfield had the honor of being our first presi- dent and during our entire Freshman year performed his duties very- well. It was in the early part of this year that we held our first social event—a Christmas party. The only real important work we accomplished was the drawing up of our Constitution. As Sophomores we chose Mr. Alyea as our President. It was in the very beginning of this year that we unanimously planned to take a Trip to Washington D. C. in our Senior year. Immediately we set about raising sufficient funds for this proposed trip and the first plan hit upon was our Luncheon Sales. These began by holding sandwich sales on a small scale and they proved so successful, that they were continued throughout our Sophomore and Junior days, under the super- vision of Miss Gates. While Sophomores our class became so unruly and mischievous it was necessary to appoint two sargeants-at-arms, in order to carry on our meetings in an orderly manner. 'This duty was given to Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Vander Schaaf. We have ever been known as a “money making class” and various plans were tried toward increasing our “Washington Fund” as our bank balance came to be known. 'Then, too, in our Sophomore days w-e chose our class motto— “Let us be known by our deeds,” and our class colors—“Black and Crimson.” From a much varied selection of colors we chose these two twenty-seven
