C.H.S. CALENDAR September 6, 1940. the Freshmen initiation was held. This was the important day in the lives of the Freshmen when they grew up from the little Junior High kids to the great Clifton High School students. It was a great success. (For the upper Classmen). November 11. 1940. was the date of the first dance. It was the Sophmore's Dance in honor of the Freshmen. The Freshmen seemed to enjoy it. December 1940. there was the Freshmen Return Dance. I think all of the upper classmen enjoyed it, even if it was given by the little Freshies. December 15. 1940. This was the date of the great Leap Year Dance.
