SOPHOMORE This year there are thirty-five members in the Sophomore class and they are well represented in the activities of the school. The class stepped into the social headlights when they gave the Freshmen a welcome dance which proved very successful. A few months later they gave a very amusing and entertaining Christmas program. Those lettering in sports are as follows: Football Basketball Volleyball Robert Ochoa Warren Montgomery Bud Rogge Bud Rogge Julio Mendoza Eddie Wilkerson Albert Valdez Ann Taylor The lettermen in Track and Tennis were not chosen when this annual went to press.

The Freshmen are pushed upstairs to a room of their own and therefore miss a large amount of the activities, but they fooled the upper classmen by taking first in the Pep Assembly Contest. The members were disappointed this year for they were not allowed to give a return dance to the Sophomores as has been customary in previous years. Lettermen are Manuel Manuz, Football; and Alice Coronado and Lucia Morales, Volleyball.

The opening of the season showed prospects for a promising season but for some reason the team did not click. In the Safford game the Trojans showed that they could play good ball by playing a good game, but the seasons results show that all but one game were lost. The entire season saw at least one or two first string players on the bench because of injuries and this hindered success. To Baker went the honor of the longest run in this years high school play. During the Pima game he picked up a punt three yards behind his goal line and with the aid of good blocking dodged his way 193 yards to pay dirt. The Trojans won their only game from the Wilcox Cowboys with a 19-12 score, and they turned in two very good games against the Morenci Wilkcats. The Wilkcats won both games by margins of six points.

TRACK Since this annual went to press before the 1940 track season ended, a brief resumay of last years team is given. The 1939 Trojan cinder men were very successful, winning four out of five track meets. The Trojans won the Douglas Invitational meet for Cllftons first time. The Trojans also captured the Class C State meet at Tucson by narrowly edging the Phoenix Monarchs. Last years Trojans were paced by such men as: Baker-pole vault, broad-jump, and dash; Cazares-mile and 880; Marquez-880 and 440 ; Cosper-440; Filleman-high and low hurdles; Hernandez-mile; Goodspeed-weights and high Jump; and Subia-880. Outstanding men in their events were Baker, who broke the Douglas Invitational record in the pole-vault; Cazares, twice State winner of the mile run; and Marquez, who has always been out in front in distance races in the state. The loss of Filleman and Cosper will be felt badly as they were sure point winners in all meets. New men out for the 1940 track team are De Leon and Nunez, distances; Montoya and Smith weights; Holguin, Javelin; and Cockran , sprints. The schedule is as follows: April 3 April 13 April 20 April 27 May 3 4 Eastern division B C Meet Douglas Invitational Clifton Invitational Qualifying meet for state meet State meet 21 First row: Rascoe, Reed, Rilleman, Perfecto, Coacb Parker; Second row: L. Morales, Brutinel, Taylor, C. Morales, Martinez. Volleyball This years volleyball teams were very successful. The second team did not lose a game. The first string was defeated twice, once by Morenci and once by Virden. During October, Morenci defeated the girls by 12 points, the score being 31 to 19; but Clifton came back with high spirit and defeated them 33 to IB. To beat Morenci was the aim of the Trojan-ettes and after being defeated, came back with a do or die spirit. Lettermen are: Euilienne Brutinel—Co-Captain Olive Fllleman Celia Morales Jean Rascoe Alice Coronado Amelia Perez Sophia Martlnez--Co-Captain Norma Reid Lucia Morales Margaret Schade Cuca Perfecto Ann Taylor The Freshmen this year were good enough to place two members of their class upon the team while the Sophomores lettered one and the Juniors lettered two. Next years team will feel the loss of seven Seniors. 22 First row; Contreras, Valdez, Anderson, Rogge, Manuz; Second row Mendoza, Goodspeed, Hall, Wilkerson, Morales, Coach Parker. BASKETBALL The 1939-40 Basketball season turned out moderately successful under the direction of Coach Parker. In the years that Parker has been coaching, the Trojan teams have always been considered a dangerous team. This year the Clifton team upset many strong teams and came near to upsetting others. Coach Parker did his best but was hindered by the lack of size in his boys. The Trojans finished fifth in the Eastern Conference with 7 victories and 9 defeats for a 437 percentage. The Clifton Trojans invaded New Mexico during the Christmas vacation but were unsuccessful in both games due to sickness of several members. The team was given a trip to Tucson by the Board of Education because of their good sportmanshlp and hard work in spite of continued defeat. Lettermen are as follows: Captain-Ramon Manuz Bob Anderson Julio Mendoza Mauro Morales Eddie Vilkerson This year graduating clasc will Anderson. Co-Captain-Joe Contreras Ray Goodspeed Buddy Rogge Albert Valdez Bobby Hall include Manuz, Contreras, and 25 First row H. Smith J, Potter, M« Riley; Seoond row: Coaoh Wade, C, Cosper, 0. Smith, M. Cook, E. Wilkersan; Third row: J. Smith, J. Elaok, E. Padilla, B. Hall, TENUIS During the 1939 season, the Trojan Tennis squad was very successful. They won a majority of their tournaments and sent four players to the state tennis meet. The girls doubles team, June Potter and Helen Smith, earned the title of Class C State Doubles Champions, Herman Moder and Bobby Hall plaoed seoond in the boys' doubles tournament of the state. Composed mainly of old-timers, the 194° season promised at the time of publication to be equally suooessful. Coaoh Wade arranged for tournaments with Moreno1, Safford, Dunoan, and Globe, Last years lettermen who will return this year are. June Potter Helen Smith Mariana Riley Marie Cook Virginia Anderson Mauro Morales Geneva Mae Smith Bobby Hall Jiaay Benshimol Eddie Wilkersan Others out for tennis are the following: Lucia Morales Margie Tabor Ann Taylor Charlotte Carlson Jimmy Smith Eddie Padilla Jean Rasooe Betty Farmer Virginia Stute Caroline Combs Johnny Blaok James Fritz John Chaudoin Alioe Coronado Peggy Rasooe Peggy Smith Bob Andersen Edward Cosper Douglas Stewart There are on this team five lettermen who are Seniors and also several who did not make a letter last year. The team will lo6e June Potter, Mariana Riley, Marie Cook, and Jimmy Benshimol, 24 DANCE ttlusic 26 MUSIC ARTICLE The 1939-40 Music season progressed in much the same successful manner as has been carried out in the past. In May, 1939—after last year’s annual went to pres —James Benshlmol competed in the National Music Contest held at the World's Fair in San Francisco, California, and was rated the highest in the Superior bracket in the Tuba solos. Carrying on his good work, Ben-shlmol waa chosen to play in the Arizona All-8tate Orchestra in Phoenix, Arizona during the Annual Teachers' Convention in November. In addition to the basket ball games, various parades and school programs, the band broadcasted a program over station KGLU in Safford, Arizona, on March 16. At the Music Educators National Convention, which convened in Los Angeles, California, the Music Department had the honor of being represented in the National High School Chorus by Margaret Schade and Virginia Anderson. The chorus was made up of 300 voices from all parts of the United States. Then preparation began in earnest for the annual Music Festival to be held in Thatcher. As this annual goes to press, we feel certain that nearly every contestant will take top honors. Probable entries will be Vocal Solos Soprano Alto Tenor Bass Instrumental Solos Tuba Clarinet Snare Drum Accordion Plano Baritone Small Aisembles Clarinet Trio Girls' Trio Mixed Quartet Marie Cook Margaret Schade John Bonlne Bobby Brutinel James Benshlmol Betty Cook Buddy Raines Mariana Riley Virginia Anderson Bay Goodapeed Large Ensembles Band Girls' Glee Club Mixed Glee Club 27 ADVISORY COUNCIL This year changes have been made in the Advisory Council. In past years the council has consisted of 21 members. They were chosen by faculty approval upon application. This year there was a greater number who wished to become members and the faculty accepted every applicant, making an Increase of 20 members. The Council was divided into seven committees. Three new committees were added to the original four. The four original committees were the assembly Committee, General Control Committee, Social Committee, and the Clubs and Publications Committee. The latter was made into two separate committees, and the Scholastic and the Guidance are the other new committees. The Council has been active this year for the committees have turned in some good results. Of special interest is the school scrapbook that is being kept by the General Control Committee. On February 14, the officers and chairman attended the annual student Body Presidents' Convention in Prescott.

The club has done splendid work in encouraging students to work for higher grades. During the past three years the honor roll of each six weeks has noticiably increased. Two years ago the society inaugurated the idea of giving a fountain pen, inscribed with the word merit , to the student making the highest grades during the six weeks, not including Honor Society members. This year the organization is again carrying out the pen award play. The Club has raised sufficient funds through concessions at various dances. Requirements to become a member of the society are a semester average of at least 2 A's—2 B's The first semester officers are as follows: President-Bob Anderson Vice President-Bobby Hall Sec. and Trea3.-James Smith Members were Carlota Madrid Jean Rascoe Albert Valdez Emilienne Brutinel Virginia Anderson June Potter Jean Rascoe The second semester officers are as follows: President-Bob Anderson Secretary-Carlota Madrid Members Arthur De Leon Freda Alexander Jean Rascoe Vice President-Avis Crowder Virginia Anderson Bobby Hall Emilienne Brutinel June rotter Mariana Riley DRnMnTICS The Dramatics Club is a small club but it is very active Those who are entitled to membership are taking Dramatics or have been in our school plays or public contests sponsored by the school.

The club is one of the most active clubs in the school for it has a more definite purpose than most clubs. The C Club is made up of all students who have earned a letter in some sport in this high school or a student who has earned a letter in some other school and then transferred to this school. The purpose of the club is primarily to encourage participation in sports. Among the highlights of the club is the annual C Club Carnival. The receipts of this carnival are used to increase the athletic fund. Another event which is anticipated by all is the annual C Club picnic held in the Spring. The new members are initiated at the picnic. Last year's picnic was held at Lower Eagle approximately ten miles from Morenci. This year's C Club has one of the largest memberships in the history of the organization. Officers of the Club are as follows: President-Edward Marquez Vice President-Maxie Bigbam Sec. and Treas.

CLUB The Home Economics club under the sponsorship of Mias Virginia Blrtcher, home economics teacher, has been quite successful this year. During November both an initiation and a candle light meeting were held. At the initiation, new members had to carry kitchen utensils, onions, and potatoes around with them. The candle light meeting was held for the purpose of instructing the new members on the laws and regluations of the club. On February 13, 1940, a Valentine party was given. The party was enjoyed by all Home Economic Club members. Games were played and delicious refreshments served. The Officers of the Club are as follows: Presldent-Lilllan Perez Secretary-Joanna Baxter Vice-President-Emilienne Brutinel Treasurer-Carlotta Madrid PEP CLUB The Pep Club is one of the first organizations established in Clifton High School and is one of the beat. The pep club sets the pace for most other clubs, especially the younger ones. As the name suggests, the club is very peppy and has demonstrated this from time to time. An example of the pep of this club was the Thnaksgiving or Home Coming Day Parade, in which all clubs, classes and the alumni entered a float. The parade was sponsored by the Pep Club. The membership of the club is twenty five. There were twelve former members and they elected the other thirteen.

They hold regular meetings and discuss subjects of interest that will help every girl in her school life and in her future. Their programs and outside entertainments are well attended. At each meeting a program is presented. Each girl had a part in at least one program. There are speeches on subjects pertaining to table etiquette, the proper hair dress for the proper occasion, and styles of dress. Natural talent in music and dramatics is encouraged . The Girls' League has its annual Girls' League Dance held only for girls. Half of the girls have escorts dressed as boys. Picnics and banquets are popular. This organization brings the girls of the school closer together in their social interests. Each year the officers of the league are honored with a trip to the State Convention of Girls' Leagues for Arizona members. Many interesting ideas for projects and entertainments are gathered.

The Latin Club increased from 13 to 22 members this year. The Latin Club's first entertainment was a picnic held on Saturday, October 21. Later in the year, Mr. and Mrs. Highfill gave two parties, one for the first year or new students, and the second for the old members of the club.

The editorship of the Desert Song was organized in a new way thi8 year. There were three editors—Mariana Riley, Jean Rascoe, Emilienne Brutinel. Each girl had sole charge of the paper for three months. A vast improvement was noted when each girl used her own ideas about publishing a paper. The Journalism Committee of the Advisory Council was also very active this year. Its biggest accomplishment was obtaining a membership for the Desert Song in the National Scholastic Press Association. This Association criticizes the paper and lends helpful suggestions to its members. Through its help, the Desert Song was greatly improved. The Editor of the Trojan for 1940 was Dob Anderson with assistants Helen Smith and Betty Farmer. This was the first year in sometime that individual pictures of the Seniors were used. The Desert Song this year adopted the three column page and headlines. A very clever April Fool edtion was published by editor-Emilienne Brutinel. Through the help of advertisements the Desert Song is well able to support itself.
