Advisory Council For a number of years the Advisory Council has been functioning in Clifton High School. This organization is composed of students who have shown a desire to be members by turning in applications. The work done by the committees of the Advisory Council has improved the status of the school. The Guidance and Scholastic committee this year encouraged high class grade averages by giving a reward. The class having the highest grade average for a six weeks period was honored by having its name engraved on a wooden shield. The Clubs and Publications committee worked mostly on the publications of the school. The school paper was changed greatly over previous issues. The annual was planned with the idea of improving it as much as possible. This committee also made the activity schedule each month. The Social committee sponsored a number of matinee dances. The admission to these was a defense stamp. Dances were improved by providing orchestras. As the Trojan goes to press plans for an Easter tea are under way. The Assembly committee saw to it that all assemblies planned were suitable and interesting to the student body. Very entertaining assemblies have been presented so far. The General Control committee had the duty of maintaining school property in good order. Games for after-school and noon hours were set up. Its greatest success, however, was the student monitor system. In addition to its assigned duties the Advisory Council participated in National Defense. Salvage collecting in the school was started. A number of its members will participate in Civilian Defense. First row. left to right: Meuley. Bowman, Smitch. A. Rascoc. Perry, McNeill. Cos per. Tomp. Second row : Spoon, Cook. Grantor!, Comb . P.

The theme of the float was “Victory.” The first assembly of the year was given by the Seniors at the beginning of the year and proved a top success. In the inter-class tournament held in February, the Seniors became basketball champions of C. H. S. by beating the Juniors and Sophomores. The customary Senior Ditch Day was held on March 30. On this event the Senior class journeyed to Safford and enjoyed themselves. The Seniors gave a Senior Ball and Banquet on March 17. The theme was in keeping with St. Patrick’s day.

Adopting the double wing formation and being in good physical shape they were ready to tangle with the SafFord Bulldogs. The double-wing formation proved weak but the Trojans surprisingly held the Bulldogs to the end. In order to strengthen the weak spots the Trojan coach established the Notre Dame, single wing, T formation, long and short punt, and spread formations. With all these formations in mind, the Trojans expected to face a season that Clifton fans had not seen before. This proved true, for the Trojan gridiron squad was one of the most outstanding in Clifton High School football history.

Page Sixteen Basketball The 1941-42 basketball team, under the new coach Jimmie Patterson, held their own in the conference. The team finished with a .500 average, which was a very good record, considering the fact that our conference is the “toughest” in the state. The team wound up the season as the fourth team out of the nine teams in the conference. This year’s squad consisted of nineteen players. Ten of these made up the Junior Varsity, which was coached by Mr. North. Of the many thrilling games that the Trojans played, the game with the strong Globe Tigers was one of the best. The Trojans won by a score of 42-28, even though the Globe team was a top-heavy favorite. Though this game was non-conference, it helped build up the morale of the team. Those lettering in basketball were as follows: Eddie Wilkerson, Harold Cox, Albert Valdez, Bud Rogge, Johnny Black, Armando Sanchez, and Tommy Sidebotham. Of these, Eddie Wilkerson, Albert Valdez, and Bud Rogge are seniors. The season’s games and scores were as follows: Opponent They We Opponent They We N) Virden ....................22 29 (C) Ft.

With the record of six games out of seven, the Trojanettes gained an honor unclaimed in recent years while the second team of Trojanettes were victorious throughout their games. The opponents to which the team lost their first game was to Virden, at Virden, on October 6. At the next game with Virden, the girls put their hearts and souls into the game and were out to win. The score was 34-19 in Clifton’s favor. Trojanettes lettering this year were: Coronado, Lindsey, Martinez, L. Morales. M. Morales, Ruiz, Salcido, G. Scott, M. Scott, Trainor, and E. Valdez. The highest scores in points were scored by Gloria Scott, Patsy Trainor and Margy Salcido. Schedule: We They Clifton vs. Ft.

Wrilkerson Page Nineteen C Club Through the many years of club activities in C. H. S. very few clubs have become as active and as well-known as the “C” Club. To be eligible for the “C” Club a student must have earned a letter in sports in some school and at the time of entrance to membership must be participating in some sport in C. H. S. Students may earn a letter in such sports as football, basketball, tennis, baseball, track and volleyball. A few simple rules are exercised by the club. One of the most important of these rules is that it is forbidden for a member of C. H. S. to wear a letter of another school in the buildings of Clifton High. In this way students are encouraged to earn a letter belonging to Clifton. Other rules are: (1) attendance at each club meeting, (2) participation in club activities. It has become an annual custom for the “C” Club to stage a “C Club Carnival.” With the profits the club has an all-day picnic. The plans for these activities had not been completed at the time the TROJAN went to press. These activities have always proved successful and it is likewise expected to be so this year. Officers for 1941-42 were: President—Warren Montgomery Vice-President—Lucia Morales Secretary—Carmen Lopez First row: Huix. Cook. Trainor. A. Coronado. Spoon. Ix pez. Marquez. Second row: Lindsey.

'age Twenty Pep Club The Pep Club was originated in this school in 1934. It has been one of the most popular clubs since then. This year, due to the unlimited interest of the members, the Pep Club was able to sponsor several of the best pep rallies and pep assemblies that have been seen in Clifton High School. During the football season they sponsored rallies for the Thatcher, Duncan, and the Thanksgiving game with Morenci. The night before the Thanksgiving game, od lamps were placed around the “C”. The lamps were lighted at eight o’clock and they continued burning all night. At this same time a large group of students gathered around a bonfire behind the stadium and gave a number of yells. Citizens of Clifton were impressed by the glowing “C”. The Alumni re-lighted the “C” for the game. In the future, we hope more pep rallies of this nature will be presented. To become a member of the Pep Club, applications for membership must be turned in. These applications are considered and voted upon by older members of the club. Those receiving the most votes become members. The officers of the Hep Club for this year were as follows: President—Bud Rogge Vice-President—Albert Valdez Secretary and Treasurer—Johnny Black Pint row: Bowman. Lopez. Coronado. Cosper. Rascoc.

Honor Society members during the first semester were: Albert Valdez Lucia Morales Johnny Black Betty Cook Iris Spoon Carlota Madrid Esther Morales Carmen Lopez The officers were: President—Albert Vaide; Vice-President—Carmen Lopez Secretary-Trea surer-—Hetty Cook The goal of the society was to encourage students to improve their grades. This was done by awarding a fountain pen to the boy and girl making the greatest improvement in their grades at the end of a six-weeks period. Candy was sold at football games to finance the purchasing of the pens. On January 7, the society had a picnic at Potter’s Ranch. Honor Society members for the second semester were: Tommy Sidebotham Carmen Mendoza Nancy Granieri Johnny Black Carlota Madrid Iris Spoon Pat Rogge Betty Cook Audrey Rascoe Kathryn Tomp Oscar Baron Carmen Lopez Officers are: President—Iris Spoon Vice-President—Betty Cook Secretary—Carlota Madrid Treasurer—Oscar Baron The Honor Society is looking forward to their yearly banquet. f-'irst row: L.

The girls were eligible to become members of this club if they had taken some course in Homemaking. The girls worked on various projects this year. Some of the things that they did were: aid in cooking for the clubs, school organizations, and classes having banquets; they also helped the Red Cross. They learned about planting various kinds of plants and how to care for them. One of the social activities of this club was the annual initiation. The ideas as to how the new members were to be initiated were planned by the old members. They suggested that the Freshmen wear their dresses inside out, make-up half of their face, braid half of their hair, and have a kitchen utensil tied around their necks. At night at 7 o’clock, the new members furnished a very nice banquet for all old members of the Home Economics Club. A program was provided as part of the initiation. Because everyone enjoyed being a member of the club, it is hoped that it will always be as large and as successful each year.

Page Tu-enty-three Journalism The Journalism Club, consisting of the members of the Desert Song and Trojan staff, has accomplished a great deal during 1941-42. Several new things were added to the school paper, the most prominent ones being the addition of the headlines and the justification of the right hand margin. The addition of headlines on the paper made it easier for the reader to pick out certain articles of interest. The balancing of the front page gave it a neater appearance. At the close of each year the Journalism Club publishes a summary of the year’s activities in the Trojan, the school annual. In this annual of the year 1941-42, the club hopes that it has something which will bring pleasant memories in the future to those who are now at the end of their high school careers. The DESERT SONG Editors and Business Managers were: Editor-in-Chief—Eddie Wilkerson Business Managers: Associate Editor—Esther Morales Iris Spoon, Patsy Perry, Assistant Editor—Carmen Lopez Audrey Rascoe The TROJAN Editors and Business Managers were: Co-Editors—Carlota Madrid, Albert Valilez Business Managers—Peggy Rascoe, Caroline Combs Thanks are due to the business men of the town through whose cooperation in advertising the publications were possible.

In order to extend the idea of better relations among girls of the state, the Arizona Girls’ League Federation holds meetings in different cities in Arizona. The theme for this year, “Democracy and the Girl,” was chosen at the annual meeting at Phoenix. The meetings this year were held at Globe, Miami, Tolleson and Mesa. Representatives from our school were able to attend only the annual meeting. The success of the year of this club was the formal dance given on January 10, 1942. There was much enthusiasm and cooperation on the part of the girls and the school as a whole helped it to be a success. This was the first formal dance sponsored by the Girls’ League. Besides social events, the club sponsors various other types of helpful functions. At the meetings, the Girls’ League has a special program which consists of singing, personal hints on grooming, and tactful ideas for the American high school girl. Officers of the Girls’ League were: Sponsor—Miss Sizemore President—Carlota Madrid Vice-President—Merilda Curtis Secretary-Treasurer—Carmen Lopez Class Representatives Freshmen—Beatrice Ortega, Jessie Morales Senior—Esther Morales Sophomore—Carmen Mendoza Junior—Patsy Perry Page Twenty-five Dramatics Club The Dramatics Club is made up of students who have appeared in major productions, who have taken dramatics, or who are now enrolled in the course. Officers for 1941-42 were: President—Frances Lindsey Vice-President—Nina Bowman Secretary and Treasurer—Eddie Wilkerson Sj onsor—Miss Buckley During recent years the Dramatics Club has been very active in Speech Arts Contests as well as in putting on plays. The Speech Arts Contest was cancelled this year. The first assembly of the school year was given by the Dramatics Club. This assembly set the standard for the rest of the year’s assemblies. The spring play was also sponsored by the Dramatics Club. It was entitled Mumbo Jumbo.
