Thirty-six Freshmen enrolled in the various classes. The year was begun with the initiation and election of class officers. Only Saturnino Cabral received a letter in truck. Juanita Vasquez, annie Gonzales and Natalia Hernandez received letters in volleyball. Now, being Sophomores, they initiated the Freshmen. Members of the class entered the various activites and especially entered football, which had just been organized. Raymond Sanchez and Nino Cabral received letters in football. The number of students began to diminish and only 29 Juniors registered. In sports, the boys and girls took and active part. Ruth Danenhauer, Wanna Montgomery, Juanita Vasquez, Irene Edwards, Dora Lovett, Natalia Hernandez, Annie Gonzales, Nona Chaudoin, and Ida Morales lettered in volleyball. Nino Cabral and Herman Moder lettered in basketball. The outstanding social event was the Junior Prom which was very successful. The present Senior Class is composed of 26 members.

The Class of 1940 has already shown itself to be of great value to Clifton High School, while in the grammar school all the members of this class proved to be outstanding and intelligent. This year there have been more Junior students on the honor roll than any other class has had at any time. In sports and school activities the Junior class has taken an important part. In football there were seven Juniors on the team: Bdward Marquez, Maxie Bigham, Joe Subia, Buddy Baker, Ramon Manuz, Richard Shumway, and 3ob Anderson, Manager. There were five Juniors on the first team of basketball: Bdward Marquez, Ramon Manuz, Jose Contreras, Bob Anderson, and Gilbert Ferez; also five were on the second team. This year many men are out for track and the Juniors won the Inter-class track meet. The tennis team boasted five Juniors: Marie Cook, Jean Rascoe, Jimmy Benshimol, June Potter, and Mariana Riley. The class is quite proud of Mariana Riley, who for two successive years has won the Oratorical Contest sponsored by the Arizona Republic. The class has done a great deal of work in the speech-arts contets, band, plays, and other school activites; and they have been well rewarded. It has forty-five members. The Juniors hel the annual prom on May 19. It was very successful.

The Sophomore Claes of this year ia very much Improved over the green Freshies that entered high school last year. The Sophomores Stepped into the limelight when they gave the Freshman a dance on October 22. The dance was very successful and the Freshies were duly ana officially initiated into the social life of C.H.S. The Sophomores haven't oeen very prominent in athletics this year, however, a few made letters. Football lettermen were; Leroy Adams, Valentino Hernandez, and Ray Goodspeed. The only boy lettering in basketball was Ray Goodspeed. There are several Sophomores on the tennlB and track teams who show good promise of becoming lettermen. Class officers: President—------------------------ Ray Goodspeed Vice-Fresident---—--------------Virginia Anderson Secretary and Treasurer-----------Elizabeth Crisp Cheer Leader— ------------------Julia Mae Gorman Let's hope that the Sophomores keep on improving and become the fine class that they are capable of being 12 FRESHUAiJ CLASS First rowi Ra„ooe, Stute, Bowman, Snitoh, Combs; Second rowi Gamer, Madrid, MoV illiams, Goodspeed, Carmichael, N.

The trials of the Freshmen began with the formal initiation. During the initiation one might have said almost anything, but the Freshmen took it bravely and were really termed Freshmen. Following the initiation, the Sophomore class gave the Freshmen their first dance. This favor was returned by the Freshmen on November 10, 1936. Armistice v;as the theme of the dance and the program was carried out in military fashion. Cup cakes with red, white, and blue icing were served with punch. Music was furnished oy Gregg's Blue Derbies and everyone reporte haveing an enjoyable evening. A few weeks later the class held its election in which Geneva Mae Smith was elected president; Albert Valoez, vice president; Feggy Rascoe, secretary and Jimmie wong, treasurer. Miss Wilson was chosen class sponsor. A great number of Freshies turned out for football, tennis, basketball, and volleyball. We hope they will be first class Trojans in a f ew years. The class was well represented in the different clubs, societies, and councils. In short, the class of 42 has made a good beginning. The future presents not only a challenge, but an opportunity. 15 ilAROOH AiD GOLD Cheer for the Maroon and Gold V.'aving for-ever pride of old Clifton High may she rule ever ™ 11 sing a song for the school today oheor for the team at play on to victory we’ll fight our way for Clifton High S£TT«H Sing Sing Sing oheer for the Maroon and Gold waving for-ever pride of at j J j Old Clifton High nay she rule ever we'll sing a song for the school today oneer for the team at play on to viotory we'll fight our way for Clifton Hign, 14 ■RCTIVITIE5 First row; A.

Each month there is a meeting of the Advisory Council as a whole, a meeting of the sub-committes and of the officers and chairmen of the committees, and if there are important matters to discuss, there is a meeting of the entire student body. This year, the Council had several luncheons prepared by the Home Economics Department.

With the purchase of ten new band uniforms, the appearance has been improved, and with the addition of eight snare-drums, the percussion section has improved . Public performances at athletic games and school plays have shown marked improvement of the Trojan Band at Clifton. Together with the Girls' Pep Squad, many complicated drills were worked out much to the satisfaction of the school and townspeople. Since the Music Festival held annually in Thatcher is drawing near as this is being written, Mr. Wells is concentrating his band and chorus on this event. Possible entries in the contest will be: Vocal Solos: Soprano----------------Marie Cook Alto-------------Margaret Schade Tenor------------Jimmy Benshimol Baas--------------- Bob Anderson Instrumental Solos: Clarinet Cornet Baritone----------------------Bay Goodspeed Bass------------------------Jimmy Benshimol Drum-----------------Buddy Raines Saxaphone------------Fred Leanard Alto horn_______—----June Potter Plano----------—Virginia Anderson 26 LATIN CLUB First row: Riley, Rasooe, Danenhauer; Seoond row Brutinel, Montgomery, Molloquet Anderson; Third row: Scott, Edwards • Chaudoin, Alexander; Fourth row: Hall, Goodspeed.

To gain entrance to the hall it was necessary for guests to go through the basement, in which were encountered innumerable horrors. Once upstairs, however, many pleasures awaited them. There were dancing and many thrilling games. At the witching hour all unmasked, after which prizes were awarded for the best costumes. After a grand march to the refreshment booth, all enjoyed delicious pumpkin pie and cocoa. We thank the Advisory Council for having sponsored such an enjoyable party. HOLIDAY DANCE An appropriate holiday dance was held in the High School Auditorium on December 26. A large number of invitations were issued to the alumni and there was almost one hundred per-cent attendance oy both students and guests. The Christmas motif was carried out in decorations and favors. Guests enjoyed dancing around a large lighted Christmas tree in the center of the hall. The windows were outlined by pine boughs and a green pine alcove was made for the orchestra. At eleven o'clock, Santa Claus in the form of Ralph Morones came along with his sack of goodies , which he issued to all as favors. The music was furnished by Rodela's Orchestra, and the good time continued until twelve o'clock. The holiday dance was very successful and the students hop it will become an annual affair. ACTIVITY TICKET DANCE On December 10, the Advisory Council gave the dance that was originally to have oeen given for the class which bought the highest percentage of Activity Tickets. However, much to everyone's delight, every class bought 100 . The Council had been divided into four teams so as to sponsor the ticket sale to a greater advantage. It was agreed upon that the two losing teams would give the party to the two winning teams and the classes. Team 2 and 4 were obliged to prepare for the affair. Our public-address system furnished the music for this occasion. Interesting games as well as dancing were enjoyed. The refreshments of punch and cookies proved to be the climax of a most delightful evening. Everyone enjoyed the dance and hope that this will be made an annual affair. 28 VOLLEYBALL First row: Lovett, Chaudoin, Montgomery, Eduards, Cook, Filleman, Hernandos, Morales, Coaoh Parker; Second row: Gorman, Goodspeed, Taylor, Combs, Danenhauer, Brutinel, Gonsales, Vasques, C.

The highlight of the Pima game was Filleman's 94 yard sprint into pay territory. In the Ft. Thomas game both teams kept their original eleven players on the field to make a record of no substitution for either team. Another long run scored by the Trojans was during the first Morenci game when Peter Valdez, aided by expert block.ng, returned a punt 85 yards.

In the last few years that Parker has oeen coaching the Trojan teams, Clifton has always been right at the top of the heap throughout the season fighting for the leadership of the Eastern Conference. This year was the sole exception, for the whole first team from the previous season was lost by graduation. Faced with only three lettermen, Coach Farker did his best, out lack of experience and size hand leaped the fighting Trojans. This mediocre year merely served as a seasoning year, in which the inexperienced Trojans should have acquired poise and confidence in their playing ability. This season, as a whole, was not as bad as the scores indicate, for at times the Fighting Trojans played like a championship club as shown by the many close-fought battles. The Trojans finished the season with 4 victories out of 14 conference games for a .285 percentage. Those lettering in basketball were as follows: Robert Ander- son, Phil Cosper, Harold Filleman, Jose Contreras, Ray Goodspeed, Edward Marquez, Ramon Manuz, Herman Moder, Gilbert Perez, and Eddie Wilkerson. Of these, Captain Moder, Filleman, and Cosper will be lost by graduation.

The Trojan annual went to press too early to record the results of any of the meets, but at the date of publication, the prospects of a good season seemed probable. Coach Parker has seven lettermen who will form the nucleus of a powerful team. The veterans who have returned are: Ed Marquez, Bob Cazares, Joe Subia, and Phil Cosper, of the leather lunged crew; Buddy Baker, of the sprints and jumps; Harold Filleman, the veteran timber toper; and Ray Goodspeed, the Trojan weight man. The Trojan cinder men will try to repeat the task which the teams of 1936, 1937, and 1938 have set. Those three Trojan teams were undefeated in Conference Competition. Bobby Cazares, the winner of last year's state mile looks as if he will repeat the performance.
