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.
