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

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.
