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.

Home Economics The membership of the Home Economics Club proved to be very large this year. 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.

Girls' League All girls of Clifton High School are eligible as members of the Girls’ League. 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
