SUPERINTENDENT H. A. LIEM The Annual Yearbook of Clifton High School entitled Trojan'' is this year dedicated to Ancient Trojans. This is a fitting gesture on the part of the staff. As students and teachers we could set up no better examples as our ideal than the aims, ambitions and heroism of our Ancient Trojans. Heroism does not always mean death upon the battlefield. It means putting forth every effort to achieve the goal set up by the group. As students we must adopt never say die spirit on our field of battle which for us is the gridiron, the basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, and the track field. In the same sense we can follow this philosophy in all our activities around the school. Thus each one of you by doing your part to the best of your ability will help the student body to achieve the overall goal of success so essential to a successful school year. I want to congratulate each and every one of you for your part in it. Let us not rest on our well earned laurels for tomorrow will soon be here and we must keep up this fine work by following the spirit of our Ancient Trojans. They as a nation were outstanding in their success for many years and thus were a truly great nation. Only when they became self satisfied with their own success did they lose their rightful heritage. This is the moral in my annual message to the Students of Clifton High School— Keep up your never say die spirit' and your house of tomorrow will stand firm on the foundation laid for it by our own Ancient Trojans of yesterday.

LEARN'D AND FAIR AND GOOD IS SHE BLANCHE BAKER We, in our strange, blundering ways, so often fail to recognize true character. We are drawn to the brilliant personalities who live in the public eye. We forget those who serve us so patiently and faithfully. Though their work is not spectacular, our lives would be mighty rough without them. Page Seven

JACK BELZNER PRINCIPAL It is a real pleasure to tell each succeeding editor of THE TROJAN This book is better than ever.'' I am proud to be connected with an institution that progresses so much from year to year—and especially because the students and faculty give their whole-hearted effort and cooperation to make a better institution. CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL cannot expect to be a large high school because we do not live in a large population center. However, again this year you students and you faculty members have given your best efforts to make our school one of the best, according to number of students enrolled. As you look through the 1945 TROJAN, you will realize more than ever that CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL compares favorably, and in many instances surpasses, others in our field. I am proud of the scholastic attainments of our graduates. I am proud of the fine showing and numerous advancements made by our boys and girls in the armed forces. I am proud of the attainments in professional and business fields made by our graduates and ex-students. I am proud of our consistently good athletic teams, of our outstanding journalistic accomplishments, of our dramatic productions, and of our instrumental and vocal groups. Keep the above facts in mind as you read your TROJAN. When you have completed reading your copy. I am sure that you will agree with me. I am also sure that you will be proud because you, as an individual, have contributed your time and efforts in making this year so outstanding. Page Nme
