Journali sm Latin Club Operetta Glee Club X S£NJOk J-JJSlOtf In the year of 1931, forty-two boys and girls entered upon their careers in Clifton High School. One of the most important events of that year was the election of officers. Those chosen were: Margaret Lewi3, President; 'Jim ...llyn , Vice President; Longfellow LaBrada, Secretary and Treasurer; Miss Dalton, Sponsor. The trials of the Freshmen began with the formal initiation into C. H. S. Following this, the Sophomores gave the present Seniors their first dance. The class of '35 returned the favor later in the year. At the end of its first year in high school, the Freshman class had made a good showing in all activities. The second y«ar of high school started with the same procedure as other Sophomore classes had used, namely, the initiation of the incoming students. The officers chosen for that year were: Jim Allyn----------President Jack Tippets-------Vice President Fermin Palicio-----Secretary Archie Paterson----Treasurer Miss Tracey--------Sponsor By the beginning of the Junior year, the class of '35 had dwindled from l±2 to 24 of the members, who entered in the Freshman year. This group had worked up from a small independent class to be a great asset in athletics, clubs, journalism, dramatics, and music. IXiring this year the Juniors started a custom which will probably be carried on by every incoming Junior class. That was the raising of funds to finance the annual Junior-Senior Promenade, The class sponsored an enchilada dinner, and a picture show for that purpose. The leaders for that period were: Jim Allyn----------President Margaret Lewis-----Vice President Vivian Ling--------Secretary Madge O'Neil-------Treasurer Miss McClave-------Sponsor The officers for the second semester were as follows: Billie Fehrman-------------President Fermin Falicio-----------Vice President Manuel Frovencio---------Secretary Cecilia Rork-------------Treasurer On September 5, 1934� the class of '35 started the last lap of its high school career, Elizabeth Smith was elected President of the class; Fermin Palicio, Vico President; Vivian ning, Secretary; Jack Tippets, Treasurer. Mr, Belzner was elected Sponsor. This year, as the class was experienced in every phase of school activity, it won many of the banners offered in the inter-class contests, among them were: Inter-Class Track Champions, and Inter-Class Speech-Arts Champions. During this year, the most outstanding events of the class have been: Senior Ditch Day and Commencement. i Through four years of hard work and study the Seniors have lived up to their motto: Together We Stand . J c � September 6, 1932 marked the beginning of the high school career of the class of 36 . It was not a large class, but one that was to distinguish itself in the coming years through its athletic ability and scholastic attainment. The leaders chosen for 1932-33 were: Marilyn Ling, president; Manuel Alva, vice president; John V.'ong, secretary and treasurer; John Lujan, cheer leader; sponsor, Miss Cum-mens. Our most distinguished feat of the Freshman year was in the Inter-Class Track Meet. We were second only to the Juniors; this credit was especially due to the representatives in the distance runs. The first big event of 1933 was the class election. Dorothy Riley was elected president; Doris Cook, vice president; Manuel Alva, secretary and treasurer;Miss Leino, sponsor. The Sophomore Class was again given the chance to show its ability in basketball. A great improvement over the-last year's results was shown, as we placed second. At the beginning of the second semester we again held class elections. Due to the resignation of our sponsor from High School, we elected a new one, Mr. J. Belzner. The officers were: Anson Baker, president; James Sturgeon, vice president; Manuel Alva, secretary-treasurer; Leon Gonzales , cneer leader. It is worth our while to mention here that a member of our class, John Lujan, went to the State Track.Meet at Tucson during our Freshman year and took second place in the Mile Run. In our Sophomore year, three of our students went to the State Track Meet: John Lujan, who took second place in the Half-Mile; Manuel Alva, and Henry Marquez. In 1934 John Wong was chosen president; Dorothy Riley, vice president; Marilyn Ling, secretary; Albert Provencio , treasurer. Anson Baker was chosen cheer leader for the cluss and later for the entire school. We won the Inter-Class Basketball Championship. J S' JUNIOR. CLASS ;cOLL 1. Manuel Alva 6. Rosa Gonzaies 2.

I HJ STORY ' 7R£ SMjVIAjN The Freshman Class of 1934-35 found upon entering Clifton High School that it was much different th'an'all of their previous suppositions. Here are some of the details,. When school started everything was ents getting books, finding classes, and took us a week to become ecquainted with the initation week--what mortification!. wear their dresses backwards, wear a green ribbon and strings in their hair, one long and one short stocking, no make-up and carry a potato. in a flurry, studgetting settled. It things. Then came The girls had to The boys wore their shirts backward , green ribbons in their hair, make-up, long neekties and their pants rolled up to their knees.. At the end of the week, the classes gathered at tne auditorium with boards and other devices and laid it on . These were accepted i-n a sporting manner on both sides, and as if to compensate- the 'Sophomores gave a Halloween party in honor of the Frosti.- prizes were given to the wearers of the most appropriate costumes. Pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and hot coffee were served end a good time we s had by all . Then we settled down to the monotony of school, but our outside activities served the purpose of making it an enlightening year.. The class had a picnic which our members, our sponsor, Miss Nash, and several members of the faculty attended.. All during the year, many considerations were shown to the Freshmen, and Freshman boys and girls did not hesitate to take advantage of them. During the latter part of the first semester and the first part of the second, dancing classes were held, which gave the Frosn and the rest of the students a chance to enjoy their school dances; interesting assemblies were held all during the year;, and the Freshmen were given their chance to show their wares before the rest of the students The present freshman class shows a great many possibilities for tne future activities of Clifton High School and hopes to prove a credit to the school. r;tacsc At the first of the baske'tball season five non-conference games were played.. The first two of these, with Virden N.- Mex., the Trojans won with little difficulty.. Next was a trip to Silver City and Dewing;, Clifton defeated the former but lost to Dewing. During the Christmas vacation the Trojans played and defeated the Douglas Bulldogs.. The first week in January Clifton played two conference games.. In the first of these Clifton defeated Safford by a 44-10 count, and in the second the Trcjans were again victors with a 49-29 score over Duncan. Then followed games with Miami, Morenci and Globe. Clifton won the first two of these easily, bringing their record up to.four wins and no losses, but were defeated by the strong Globe Tigers. Although they had received a conference defeat, the Trojans were not yet ready to give up- They proved this by again beating Duncan, and the following week turning the tables on Globe and beating the Tigers on their own Court Miami too, seemed to be at her seesonfe peak for the Vandals fooled the Trojans into defeat despite Clifton's lost minute rally. The safford Bullcogs upset Clifton's chances for an Eastern Conference championship by beating the Trojans in a slow, badly played game, but the Trojans recovered and defeated Morenci in the last conference game of the year to quality for the State Tournament. At. the State Meet the Trojans dropped their first game to Buckeye by a 39-19 count. Clifton however succeeded in getting the semi-finals of the consolation by defeating Yuma,. Here the Trojans met Globa with whom tfcay had traded games in the conference season. Glob': at the end of the first quarter had a 12 to'1 le;.d bi;t found it.• necessary to moke a long shot in the last 13 seconds of ohs game to win with a 31-29 score Clifton had scored raDidiy in the second and third quarters and held a seven point land for over half of the game. This lead, nowever, was broken when three of Clifton's men fouled. The Trojans who made the trips are as follows: Allyn, Captain, Polico, LaBrada, Provencio, Blair, Alva, Padilla, and Gonzalez. Others on the squad making some of the trips were; Lujan, ’Vhite, Granado, Belzner, and Morque2 Y 7 TilACK The 1934-35 track season was featured by exceedingly keen competition between schools in our division and state, the margin in the meets seldom being over ten points. The Clifton Trojans, however, were among the top-rankers in every meet and finished the season with one first, one second, and a tie for third with Safford in the District Meet. The first meet was the Duncan Invitational Meet with Duncan, Safford, Clifton and Lordsburg competing. The C.H.S. boys bowed to Safford in this meet to finish in second place. On the following week-end, April 12, ten of the Trojans went to Douglas to participate in the meet there. The last preliminary meet was held here on April 30. The Clifton boys starred here, beating the strong Safferd Bulldogs by 6 points to win the meet in revenge for the defeat two weeks earlier. As s finale the track team competed in the Eastern Conference Meet held at Safford, placing three men in both the half mile and the mile runs, a tie for second in the pole vault, third in the javelin, first in the 440 yard run, third in the 230 yard dash, a tie for third in the high jump and second in the relay. Four of the Trojans attended the State Meet held in Tucson on May 4. They were Fermin palicio, John Lujan, Longfellow LaBreda, and Leon Gonzales. Fermin brought home top honors by winning the 440 with the fast time of 52.9 while John Lujan kept up his record in high school, and got his third second place in the state meets held since he has competed for C.H.S. The trackmen are as follows: Fermin Palicio, Ceptain Manuel Alva Eddie Norte Ramon Marquez Tom White Will ie Blair Higinio Perea John Lujan Edward Lara Longfellow LaBrada Henry Marquez Leon Gonzales Pat Provencio Nathan Granado VOLLEYBALL The Volleyballt team of 1934-35 resumed 4 eir career under tne leadership of Mr. Belzner. Tnree games were played with Morenci , and the Hill-toppers won every game The Faculty and Junior High also challenged the team. They lost to the Faculty and won from the Junior High. The scores were: Faculty Games--First game, 21-10 Second game , 21-11 Third game, 21-4 The score in the Junior High game was 34-29. Tne girls who were on the team and made their letters were: Madge O'Neil — Captain Mary Jean Miller Ruth Cook Dorothy Montgomery Dorothy Martin Maude Dunagan Lillian MacLeay Maude Pyle Marjory Pyle Ruth Sloan -V TfNMJS The tennis team this year was again under Coach J. C. Williams. There were fourteen students out for it. The boys who were out for tennis were: Jim Allyn John Wong Harlen Whipple Andres Padilla Crawford Fehrman John Smith Hartman Von Staufen The girls were: Cecilia Rork Jean Christensen Marilyn Ling Josephine Munoz Cecilia Norte Doris Cook Mary Jean Miller The tennis team was chosen by the ladder system. The purpose of the ladder was to arrange the players in their respective places according to their ability. Each player had an opportunity to work himself up, and play in the various tournaments. The first four players were taken to Globe and Miami April 5--o, and for the other matches the first five were used. Those matches were played with Duncan, Morenci, and the District Meet was held at Safford. Only three girls and three boys competed. The tennis team made a fair showing for Clifton High School this year. CTIVJTI£$ !

C C £7 K JON io;i 50 i • k 1 r national honor, society Clifton High School has had a chapter of the National Honor Society since the second semester of the year 1932-1933, the first members being Carraen Fraide, Faith Chilton, and Harry White. The purpose of this organization is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the pupils of our high school. Candidates eligible to election in this society shall stand in the first third of their classes in scholarship and shall have spent at le$3t one year in Clifton High School. Not more than fifteen per cent of any graduating class nor more than five per cent of the junior class snail oe elected to membership in thi3 chapter. The junior member is elected only provisionally; provided he keeps his present status he becomes a full-fledged member in the second semester of his senior year. Election is by the faculty. Upon considering the scholarship, character, and service rendered by the candidates, the faculty chose the fo_-1owing people at the end of the year 1934-1935 to represer t the school as members of this society: SENIORS: Fermin Palicio Marjory Pyle Longfellow LaBrada JUNIOR: Tom White Miss Clytis Cummens is sponsor of the organization. Personal achievement and consequent satisfaction serve as a stimulus for future activity and make worthwhile contacts more probable and possible. 7 HONOH SOCJ£TY The Clifton High School Honor Society was organized in 'January 19 53 at the beginning of the semester. The purposes of the society are to promote scholarship, increase leadership, and create an enthusiasm for rendering service to our school. The members are elected by the faculty, which judges the interest the student takes in extra curriaular activities, and on the basis of a 2A--2B semester average for four subjects. If the student is carrying three subjects he must maintain a 3a average to be eligible for election. eonetitution for� tpe society was drawn up at the time of its organization and it is subject to amendment by a vote. The constitution provides that the society meet the first Monday of each month; election of officers shall be held each semester; no officer may hold office for two consecutive terms, and an officer must be.‘elected from each class represented. Members during the year were: Mary Jean Miller, John Wong, Tom ™ hite, Fermin Palicio, Longfellow LaBrada, Josephine Munoz, Karl Schade, Tim Madrid, and Marjory Pyle. The first semester officers were President, .Longfellow LaBrada; Vice President, Tommy White; Secretary, Josephine Munoz; Treasurer, Fermin Palicio. The club was represented during the second semester by: President, Tom ’Vhite; Vice President, Longfellow LaBrada; Secretary, Js-sephine Munoz� Treasurer, Karl Schade. The society took up many important problems and was cn the whole very active... The members showed great interest in the work of the society intended to better cendftiens of our school The Honor Students enjoyed a hike to Mulligan's Peak by way of Devil's canyon. The climb to the peak not only gave the bookworms an airing, but also better illustrated that perseverance and ambition are the determining factsrs in the hard climb up the steep road of aatceas. ??? CLUJ 11c“ CLUS The Clifton High School C Club was organized by Mr. Licm in 1925. Its purpose was to create interest in the following uports: B..oketb 11, Volluybi.il, Tuiuiia._nd Tr„ck, Eligibility to membership is dependent upon the winning of a school letter. The 193 -35 C Club sponsored a carnival and ticket campaign under the management of Coach Parker. Both were highly successful. The profits went toward paying for trips taken by the Trojan teams.

It was continued this year, and on the call for members, so many applied that a new rule restricting the membership to fifteen was passed. Tne ie Club's first chance to act this year came in the volleyball season. Although only games with ilorenci were played, a larger turn-out than there has been for several years attended the games, both here and in Morenci. Por the next few months the Pep Club was kept busy with basketball games. In order to increase the attendance and interest of tne students and townspeople in the games many new ideas were brought into play. Pep rallies were held before most of the a. .es and talks were given by the players but in addition to this the Club would put on stunts. Several nightshirt parades were held. Betv een the halves of the Mor-enci-Clifton game a C and an M were formed by the girls of the Club working under Mr. ‘.Vest. At the beginning of the year, Jim Allyn held the office of President, but upon his resignation Anson 'Baker was unan-inously elected to preside for the rest of the year. The other officers were Madge O'Neil, Vice President and Eunice Judia, Secretary and Treasurer. 7C, DRAMATICS Cl US In reviewing some of the high points of our high school dramatics, we notice many outstanding records for the speech and play activities of Clifton High School and its students this year. This probably is due to the additional interest and work shown in dramatics which exceeds that of any other year in our high school career. The plays were the result of many weeks of diligent practice under Dramatics Coach, Jack Belzner, Outstanding among these were: No Sabe wnich was given in the District Speech-Arts Contest, and the operetta Oh Doctor , given in co-operation with the Music Department,. The cast of No Sabe is as follows: Chief Inspector----------Jim Allyn Lettie Fairbanks---------Marjory Pyle ” o (Chinese Servant)----John Wong Sergeant-----------------Crawford Fehrman George Stewart-----------Tom r'hite The plot is built around the murder of Lettie Fairbanks father, and the questioning held by the chief inspector’ und the sergeant concerning the murder. George Stewart, Lettie’s fiance was on unfriendly terms with the father and is strongly suspected. ’.Vo, the Chinese servant, comes forth as a leading character; in a scene between Lettie and himself he confesses his love for her, and a few moments later, produces evidence to prove that he killed Lottie's father. His only aim seems to be to secure Lettie's happiness, and he committed the murder in order that Lottie's forbidden marriage to George might take place. The individual talent in dramatics this year was brought out in the four angles of Speeoh-Arts-Extemporaneous speaking, Oration, Humorous reading, and Serious readings. As a basis for choosing our district contestants, an interclass speech-arts contest was held oomprising those four events. The winners of the Inter-Class and representatives in the District Contest were as follows: Extemporaneous reading--Jesse Paterson Humorous reading--------Marjory Pyle Serious reading---------Elizabeth Smith Oration-----------------Karl Schade 7? LATIN CLUB The Latin Club was organized for the purpose of giving more time to the study of Roman life and customs which the Latin students are unable to cover in class period. The name of the club, Concilium Deorum, means The Council of the Gods. ' The members of the club and their Latin names are as follows: Kiss Tracey-----------Kalliard Ruth Cook-------------Juno Angelina Coronado-------Proserpina Jean Christensen------Flora Doris Cook------------Minerva Kaude Pyle------------Diana Dorothy Riley---------Aurora Tom ' hits------------f'ercury James Sturgeon--------Vulcan Josephine Vunoz-------Echo Charlotte Lewis-------Fortune Karilyn Ling----------Venus Kiss Tracey, as Latin teacher, acted as sponsor of the club and the following officers were elected by the members: Ruth Cook-------------President Angelina Coronado-----Vice president Jean Christensen------Secretary and Treasurer The only requirement of the club is that the members must either be taking Latin or have taken it previously.

A 7 vf VT On August 31, 1926, seventeen boys and fifteen girls ’ vre starting their education ir. th. 'or.th ciiftor.' °-rade school. Fourteen pupils were starting in tne chase Creek ochool, and a few wero starting at North Clifton. We studied the same priraary grade subjects although we w re in different buildings and had different teachers. The greater part of us attended kindergarten under the instruction of Miss Jennson, now Mrs. Hood. The first and second grades were simple but interesting. Viie were taught the A.B.C's, how to read, and some other work. The biggest change in our third year was learning the multiplication tables and how to divide by simple mutters. In the fourth grade we had a taste of history and geography. In the fifth grade we began to have trouble with fractions and decimals. In the sixth grade we started having different teachers for our subjects. In the seventh grade the Chase Creek students came to South Clifton. This made our class somewhat larger. In the seventh grade our class took up quite a bit of activity work. On May Day we took part in the different events.Our boys won the annual Greenlee County Junior High Track Meet. That season the boys also made a good showing in the Greenway Junior High Meet. Their basketball was also above par. The eighth grade, which ends our grade school career, is the most interesting. Our biggest worry this year was to loarn the Constitution of Arizona and of the United States. Mr. Granieri's basketball team was not defoatodin any of the season's games making three years without lbsing a game. A few of the studonts have done well in tennis. During those long eight years some now students have joined the class and some have moved avrayg also, during the time, our class has taken part in Grade School operettas. We aro all looking forward to high school to the opportunities it has in store for us, along with the good times. $4
