Clifton High School - Trojan Yearbook (Clifton, AZ)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1946 volume:

1946 Yearbook Published By The CLIFTON H I GH SCHOOL Clifton, Arizona NEEDLE'S EYE This is Needle's Eye, one of the geographical peculiarities of Arizona. From this point, the land is ruggedly beautiful—Arizona at her best. Needle's Eye is parallel to the school in outlook. What we see upon looking into our school, too, is beautiful—only youthfully, so. Here is youth at its best. A look from Needle's Eye creates awe for the wild perfection of the country. A look into the school can inspire even greater awe—awe for the potentialities, and the strength of the youth in it. We come away from Needle's Eye several degrees richer in thought. But a look into the school leaves us immeasurably more wealthy in mind, warmer in smiles, and higher in optimism. PAGE FIVE SMELTER The smelter is the central works of this district. The smooth operation of the life in this section is dependent upon the smooth operation of the machines in the smelter. Clifton High School also boasts a smelter. On it depends the steady flow of school life. But this smelter is human. It has four departments; Principal, Superintendent, Office Worker, and Student Advisory Council. When the Copper Smelter is in process of production, there's clamor, bustle and hum. But the human smelter works calmly and quietly, with no publicity. Smoke comes from the Copper Smelter chimney when ore is being refined within it. This smoke is waste material. From the school smelter there is no chimney, no smoke as evidence of work within. For in its work there is no waste. The Copper Ingot—isn't that an appropriate theme for the 1946 Trojan? Copper means so much to Arizona—and to Clifton in particular. Isn't it odd that all of us are so dependent upon copper and how few of us have ever actually seen the copper leaving this district? Sometimes, isn't that the way with knowledge? We see each other enter high school. We see each other grow into mighty seniors and graduate as loyal Trojans. We oftentimes do not realize the vast amount of knowledge that leaves each year with the graduating seniors. Knowledge sometimes leaves our school as copper leaves our district. We know we are getting it but don't stop to appreciate it until we receive our diplomas or grade cards. You students of Clifton High School must be gathering worthwhile knowledge. The records of former students show that they were well-prepared. The numerous successful business men, the numerous successful officers and men in our Armed Forces, the numerous sucessful college and university students, the numerous successful and harmonious families of former students—all these testify that former Trojans are making and have made their marks in the world. You Seniors are made of the same stuff and you will make your marks. We will some day point with pride to you. Good luck, Seniors—this is your school after graduation as it is now—come back and visit us any time. Good luck to all of you underclassmen—good luck in completing your job. Thanks to each of you students and faculty members for your individual part in making this a successful year. PAGE EIGHT The Trojan tells in pictures the story of a year in Clifton High School. But the real story is written in the hearts and minds of the two hundred students whose names and faces make the Trojan worth while. May that story be one that each will want to read or to hear retold with increasing satisfaction as the years go by. The story is one which I, serving my first year as your Principal, shall remember for years to come. Due to your fine cooperation and loyalty, we have had a successful year. The story has been written. May only the best be remembered, for only the best is worth remembering. JAMES M. STEPHENSON Principal PAGE NINE Miscellaneous Snaps 1. Lunch-hour Congress. 2.

The officers were: President Jim Laugharn Vice-President Charlotte Schade Secretary Dee Nutt Treasurer Edward Tomp The Committees that were appointed were cut down a little and given larger jobs. The committees and their chairmen were: General Control—Edward Tomp, Social— Velia Lara, Scholastic—Oren McLaughlin, Assembly—Teresa Morones. Traditions— Horace Perea, and Clubs and Publications—John Montgomery. A new activity undertaken by the Advisory Council was a Valentine dance, which proved to be a great success. One of the questions the group attempted to answer is that of giving out letters earned by the students in sports. First row left to right— L. Brown, V. Lara, C. Willis, B. Ortega, M. Lopez, P.

Perea CITY HALL Just as the city hall is the governing nucleus of the city, so the faculty and the students are the nucleus of the school. For those two groups ARE the school. The building and books are insignificantly secondary to them in their importance as a part of school. When a visitor comes to a city, an examination of the city hall will tell him the quality of the city itself. In like manner, the students and faculty are the telling exponents of the school.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY oren McLaughlin College to become a Lab Technician. Senior Class officers were: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sponsor Oren McLaughlin Alfred Lowman Teresa Morones Raul Tomp Mr. Stephenson Very proudly, 67 Freshmen walked through the doors of C. H. S. in 1942. These Freshmen began their year’s activities by giving their annual return dance on November 28, using a barn-style theme. The Freshman assembly program of Truth or Consequences was well received. Two members of the class lettered in football, three were in the Honor Society, and four in the Junior play, with two in the backstage crew. The Freshman officers were: Elouise Brown, President; Kathryn kiem, Secretary; Marianna Rivera, Treasurer; and the Sponsor was Mr. Patton. The Class began their Sophomore year with an enrollment of 55. Their social activities started with the annual Freshman Welcome dance on November 12, carrying out the Hawiian theme. The Sophomores were in charge of the pep assembly for the Clifton-Morenci basketball game and presented a successful Sophomore Personality show. Out of the 55 members, 12 lettered in sports, II played in the band, and many more were in the Advisory Council, Pep Club, Pep Squad, A Cappella Choir, Spanish Club, C Club, Journalism, Dramatics, and in the casts of Footloose and Pirates of Penzance. Officers of the Sophomore year were: President, Ray Welch; Vice-President, Charlyne Carmichael; Secretary, Horace Perea; Treasurer, Tony Parque, and Sponsor, Virginia Kendall. In 1943, although the class had been reduced to 30, the members were very active, There were 12 members in Girls League, one in Latin Club, six in the C Club, nine in the Spanish Club, six in the Advisory Council, five in the Honor Society, six in the Commercial Club, three were twirlers, eight in the marching unit, two on the Trojan Staff, three in the A Cappella Choir, seven in Pep Club, six Juniors held offices in various clubs., and two were elected cheerleaders for the year. Members of the Junior Class sold hot-dogs and cokes at football games to earn money for dances. Bernadino Perez, Pablo Perez, Julio Tavison, and Joe Lara were presented with the gift of a subscription to the Trojan when they left for the armed forces. The Class of ’ 46 subscribed 100% for the Trojan. For a pep rally, the Juniors gave an assembly entitled School Daze. and later started a bonfire at the football stadium, followed by a snake dance through the streets. The Juniors worked hard cn the Junior-Senior Prom, which had the theme Moonlight and Roses, carried out skillfully and attractive . Officers of the Junior Class were: President, Charlyne Carmichael; Vice-President, Jimmy Laugharn; Secretary, Horace Perea; Treasurer, Velia Lara, and Sponsor, C. Weber. Sadly, yet triumphantly, 29 Seniors marched to the beginning of their last year. The All-School Play, Sixteen in August, was very successful, with three Seniors in the cast. During the year a Pesi-Cola competition test was taken by Jimmy Laugharn and Oren McLaughlin, who had the Highest Senior averages. Also, Clarita Burnette and Charlyne Carmichael entered and did well in Daughters of the American Revolution contest. The Seniors enjoyed their Ditch Day in May. The Senior Banquet, an annual affair, was an outstanding event. Many of the Senior boys were in football and basketball, and some Senior girls were on the volleyball team. The Seniors, looking back on the good old days of C. H. S., now receive their diplomas with mixed feelings of regret and joy and say goodbye to their schoolmates and their much-loved Alma Mater.

The other main event of that year was the Freshman return dance. Miss Gibbens was the sponsor. As Sophomores, their biggest activity was the giving of the Freshman Welcome Dance. Several Sophomores entered the oratorical contest in the spring, and a Sophomore, Susan Madrid, won the local. Mr. Stephenson was the sponsor. The class pranced into its third year in great spirits. Since the prom was to be the climax of the year the Juniors kept a financial eye wide open. They sold hot dogs, hamburgers, cokes and pom-poms at the football games. It was the Juniors who originated the practice of selling hot tamales to shivering football fans. The Junior-Senior prom was held with all its pomp and color on April 27. As the class increased in learning it diminished in number. Out of the fifty-five that began high school only thirty-one attended as Juniors. Some entered the armed forces: Alonzo Coronado. Albert Butierrez, and Lupe Perez left the ranks jf the Trojans to join the ranks of khaki and of navy blue. Coach Kunitz was Junior sponsor.

When his new employer went to the field where he had put the man at work, he found him lolling on his back under a tree. “What does this mean? asked the farmer. “I thought you were a man who never got tired? I don't said the hired man, calmly. “This doesn't tire me. “I tell you I won't have this room! protested the old lady to the bellboy who was conducting her. I'm not going to pay good money for a closet with a folding bed. If you think that just because I'm from the country— “Get in, lady, get in, the boy cut in wearily. “This isn't your room. This is the elevator. • • • PANCAKE EATER A man went to the doctor to find out what had made him sick. “What did you have for breakfast, the doctor wanted to know. I et seven pancakes, the man told him. “Ate, said the doctor. “Well, maybe it was eight that I et, said the patient. • • • HARD TO PLEASE A farmer had a son at college. At the end of the first year the son came home in high feather. He stood second in his class. Second? said the father. Second! Why didn't you stand first? What do you go to college for? The young man returned for his second year, determined to win first place. At the end of the year he returned home and announced his success. The father looked at him for a few minutes in silence, then shrugged his shoulders, and said: “At the head of the class, eh? Well, it can't be much of a college, after all.

Among their first Sophomore activities was the Freshman initiation, with the Sophomores winning the tug-of-war across the river. Next came the successful Freshman Welcome Dance with everything in baby-style as the theme. The Sophomores have been very active in high school. Many lettered in sports, and many participated in the Advisory Council, Pep Club, Spanish Club, Latin Club, A Cappella Choir, C Club, and School Publications. Officers of the Sophomore Class were: President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Sponsor George Caballero Raymond De Leon Arturo Castaneda Miss Rovelstad PAGE THIRTY-ONE Freshman Snaps 1.

The class began the year by going through the excitement of initiation and by holding a meeting at which the following officers were elected: President, Robert Wright: Vice-President, Pat Norte; Secretary, Dora Baron; Treasurer, Allan Stanton. The Freshmen chose Miss Eisenbach as their sponsor. Later in the year the class held their annual return dance for the Sophomores. They also presented a short skit at a pep-assembly of which they were in charge. Miss Eisenbach left school after Christmas to become Mrs. Whipple, and the Freshmen chose Mr. Absher, the Manual Arts teacher, as their new sponsor.

Dolores Holguin Tommy Tena Rebecca Albo Raul Chavarria Miss Lauer The first class party was held Friday, October 19. in Rooms I and 2; the dancing was in Room I, and the refreshments were served in Room 2. This year several of the 8th grade girls were in the twirling unit which performed at the football and basketball games. Ten of the boys were on an 8th grade basketball team. The boys played the Morenci team twice, and carried away the victory for both games. The proceeds went to the Infantile Paralysis Fund. The class chose as their colors, pink and white; the flower, pink carnation; and motto. United We Stand, Divided We Fall. The year's activities closed with the annual picnic and graduation exercises on May 28. EIGHTH GRADE B Left to right: First row—J. Morones, E. Fernandez. E. Chaudoin. A. Lopez, B. Ridlon, I.

In the home, shop, or office, as well as on the street, or playground, many vitally essential applications of mathematical relationships are frequently in evidence. The General Mathematics course attempts to lay a foundation for the thinking and understanding which will enable the student to become the intelligent and useful citizen of today and tomorrow.

Chemistry and Physics, which are both taught by Mr. Stephenson, are offered every other year. Physics is a study of heat, light, electricity, magnetism, mechanics, and sound. Many interesting experiments are carried out in each field. These experiments are usually conducted twice a week and everyone takes part in them. Mr. Stephenson supervises them and helps give the students a better understanding of the work being carried on. This class gives a person practical knowledge which will help him meet and understand everyday problems which may confront him. Left to right: Top row— E. Williams, M. Roybal, R. Eldred.

GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION Activities in the physical education classes tollow the sports seasons closely. In the fall, volleyball was played. With winter came basketball for both boys and girls, and spring brought tennis and track. Tumbling was briefly introduced, and it proved unusually popular. Soccer was a stimulating game. There were also table tennis, indoor races, marching, and group exercise. A few lectures on hygienic subjects were scattered between the classes of actual physical activity. Gym classes were held twice a week; on Mondays and Wednesdays for the girls, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays for tftfe boys. Coach Kunitz was the instructor of all these classes.

At present, we are preparing for a concert with the band on April 30, to be followed by a performance at the Music Festival at Thatcher on May 10 and I I. The same program will be sung at both places, and will consist of the following numbers: The Nightingale Tschaikowsky Angel Voices Ever Singing Bortniansky God So Loved The World Sir John Stainer This Is My Country Arranged by Waning There are forty-three members of the choir; sixteen sopranos, twelve altos, eight tenors, and seven basses. A Girls' Glee Club, consisting of twenty-eight girls in the choir will sing one number at the Music Festival. This number will be Boats of Mine by Anne Stratton Miller. A Girls' Double Trio (or Sextette) will sing Pale Moon by Logan, also at Thatcher. The choir is very well-balanced and is developing rapidly into a singing group of which Clifton High School can be proud. page forty Left to right: Last row—E. Newton, A. Campos, L. Chaudoin, D.

The enrollment of the band at the beginning of the year was 26, the second semester six students were brought up from the grade school. The band played for most of the home football and basketball games. For a Christmas program that was given on December 20th, the band gave a brief performance, playing a group of Christmas Carols, Old Vienna, The Little Grey Church, Blue Danube Waltz, and Rustucon Overture. On April 30 at a program given by the band, the following selections were played: Jesus, Joy of My Desiring, Lustspiel, Pavanne, Connecticut, Stout- Hearted Men, Merry Maiden, National Emblem.' Cabins, Star Spangled Banner, and Maroon and Gold. On May I I the Trojan band entered a Music Festival Contest at Thatcher. The selections played were: Merry Maiden Overture, Hosts of Freedom, Cabins, Connecticut, and National Emblem. page forty-one Left to right—J. Sanchez, M. Lara, D. Steen, H. Tellez, R.

HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics classes started the course with plans for the year, and with Miss Betty Eisenbach, a graduate from the University of Arizona, as their teacher. Some classes took cooking the first semester, while the other classes sewed. Cooking classes started with preparing breakfasts, then progressed to lunches, and ended with dinners. The girls learned how to balance the amount of calories each person should have, and then balance the color to make an attractive plate for a hungry person. They also studied diets for convalescents, invalids, and for children. The amount of money an average family can spend on food was considered in the food planning. All of the Home Ec. classes had a Valentine Party, which was one of the events the girls will long remember, as will the shop boys, since they were invited and enjoyed dancing. Cookies and ice cream were served. page forty-two E. Boilon P. Sanchez A. Ruiz S. Madrid N. Ehle R. Eldred Mrs. Dugan Home Economics students began sewing late in the first semester, shortly before the Christmas vacation. Under the supervision of Miss Eisenbach, their first sewing was of small things, such as simple blouses, children's clothing, and embroidery. With the opening of the second half-year, sewing began in earnest. Mrs. Dugan was the instructor. Before the actual sewing began, there was a brief study of seams. In connection with this study, each girl was required to make a booklet with sample seams. The best of these booklets were placed in the spring exhibit. Because of the shortage of dress goods, the girls had to confine their sewing to simple cotton dresses. However, even in the sewing of simple garments, all sewing rules, such as basting and fitting and finishing, were strictly observed. Immediately upon the completion of the first dress, a second one was begun. There were humorous incidents. One day the sole electric sewing machine refused to sew. The machinery was promptly turned over, and all the screws and gadgets were prodded and cleaned and oiled. Surprisingly, the machine still refused to stitch. Finally, an appeal for help was sent to the manual training department. A boy was sent in, and in less than two seconds the machine was well again. The girls were frankly red-faced. They had forgotten to plug in the cord. The results of the year of sewing were on display at the annual spring exhibit. Too, there was the traditional fashion show to which all the sewing classes contributed. PAGE FORTY-THREE VOCATIONAL SHOP Left to right—D. Lunt, G. McWilliams, H. Baron, Mr. Absher, J. Hicks, A.

GAINS IN INDUSTRIAL ARTS AND VOCATIONAL SHOP By gains, we mean the values achieved by the student, in two or more years of Industrial Arts Education and Vocational Shop training. We find that either the head or the hands becomes more efficient when the other is training simultaneously. Upon this theory we base our training. By a few hours' work each week in the upper three grades of the Elementary School and the first two years of High School, the boys gain a knowledge of. and skill in handling a great number of hand tools necessary in woodworking. They also become familiar with various types of materials, the way to work with them, and the basic fundamentals involved in applying certain materials to useful projects. In the shop, as well as with the drawing board, the student discovers a practical use for many of the basic fundamentals of mathematics. We believe this helps to strengthen him and gives him an outlet for his academic math courses. In addition to the above, the student makes a personal project, which he takes home at the end of the year. He can then have the feeling that he has accomplished something, and we know that he will never lose the values gained in constructing this simple project. In Vocational Shop the Junior and Senior years' the boys do many outside jobs, such as constructing buildings, laying concrete and rock walls, building concrete walks, and stage properties, painting wood work and signs in connection with the extra-curricular activities for the whole school. In short, they become acquainted with many of the various building-trades activities. In this course, the boys apply the knowledge and skills already gained in Industrial Arts. Upon graduation the boy can choose his field in the building trades, and with good supervision, do quality work from the beginning. J. Barriga, E. Newton, G. Campos, J. Morales, F.

Florence Nightengale thought every girl should be taught how to care for children, how to protect the home from disease and how to help in protecting the high standard of health in home and community. This is why home nursing is +aught to every girl before leaving school. It is taught in almost every high school throughout the United States. Home Nursing was first taught in Clifton in 1930. It was taught alternately up until the war, then it was required by the Red Cross to be taught every year. The book entitled The Red Cross Home Nursing is used and some of the things taken up are: I. Common cases of illness. II. How to recognize signs of illness. III. Making and changing beds. IV. How to report symptoms to the Doctor—How to carry out Doctor's orders. V. How to keep patients comfortable. VI. Various diets for patients. PAGE FORTY-FIVE CACTUS The variety of Arizona cactus is unlimited. In size only, they vary from the massive saguaro, to those tiny prickly bulbs—mere warts on the ground. The benefits of sports, too, are without limit. In significance they vary from a gigantic development of fair play to the hardly noticed good of punctuality. Like the cactus, sports have thorns. They are thorns of work, patience, and unselfishness—and more work. But then, the flowers of the cactus eclipse the thorns. PAGE FORTY-SIX R. KUNITZ. E. TOMP. J. BELZNER HISTORY OF INGOT During the second season that Clifton had football, a group of local fans headed by Glasgow Callicotte and Felix Brutinel decided that an annual trophy for the winner of the second Morenci game would be in order. After several suggestions it was decided that a 20-pound ingot which was being used at the old smelter for measurement purposes would be a typical and appropriate trophy. E. V. V ittenau, who was at that time manager of the Phelps-Dodge Corporation, Morenci Branch, gave the permission to have the ingot tooled down at the machine shop at the old smelter. Mr. Liem of Clifton and Mr. Lutz of Morenci were heartily in favor of using this trophy and it was placed in Riley's show case for several days previous to the second game of the 1938 season.

The Trojans opened their 1945 football season with 55 boys reporting for practice the first day. Of these only eight were returning lettermen. The season also brought a new coach, Robert Kunitz from Wisconsin. There was an eight-game schedule of which their first opponent was Safford. The Trojans surprised the home crowd by holding the Safford Bulldogs at a 6-0 score. A week later the Trojans went to Douglas where they were defeated by the Douglas Bulldogs 24-7. In this game the Trojans lost a valuable player on account of a broken leg. Junior McWilliams. Back on their home field the week following, the Trojans met and defeated the Silver City Colts by a 12-0 score. The next game was played and won by Duncan Wildcats on their field by a 12-7 score.

This brought a 19-6 victory for the Trojans. They then meV Thatcher whom they battled on almost even terms giving Thatcher a 13-7 victory. The Thatcher game being over, they met the Morenci Wildcats for the second time and on Clifton territory. This was the big game which determined the possesser of the Copper ingot. The Trojans again came out victors with a 27-6 victory. This gave the Trojans possession of the Copper ingot for the fourth time. Edward Tomp was elected honorary Captain for the year.

PEP SQUAD Besides the members of the pep squad, this unit includes the color guard, baton twirlers, and flag twirlers. There are thirty members in the pep squad, four color guard, twelve baton twirlers, and four flag twirlers. Anyone from the eighth through the twelfth grade may belong to this organization. This group performs at most of the football games and a few of the basketball games. The performances are an added attraction for spectators at the games. This organization provides an opportunity for a larger group of girls to participate in an extra-curricular activity. The following gils have been in this group organization for four years: Charlyne Carmichael (who was also drum majorette at the music festival held in Thatcher, May II), Velia Lara, Teresa Morones, Mary Caballero, Josephine Castaneda, and Cleo Jimenez. The Pep Squad is under the supervision of Miss Shannon and assisted by Miss Meyer. Without their untiring effects we would not be able to have those brilliant and colorful formations.

At a meeting of the Advisory Council, tryouts were held, and the following cheerleaders were elected: Charlotte Schade, Alice Brown and Ann Stanton. These girls planned pep assemblies for every game during football, basketball, and volleyball seasons, and did a great deal in building up pep around school. At the beginning of the basketball season, new uniforms were purchased. The cheering section this year was one of the best ever found in Clifton High. page fifty-four Left to right: First row—D.

BASKETBALL A SQUAD Clifton Trojans started the basketball season in the late part of December. The first game was played with the Virden Eagles and won by the Eagles. There were only thre returning lettermen on the Trojan team. Mr. Patton, former basketball coach in Clifton High returned again this year. The year's schedule was of nineteen games, fifteen of which were conference teams. The Trojans defeated Fort Thomas, Pima, Thatcher, Miami, Globe. Duncan, and Morenci. They then went to play in the Eastern Conference which was held at the Gila Junior College in Thatcher. Defeating Globe and Thatcher and losing to Safford the Trojans were placed in second place. This was the first time in years that the Clifton Trojans have placed in the Eastern Conference. Having won second place in the District Tournament, the Trojans motored to Tucson to the State Tournament. There they were defeated by Glendale Cardinals and Safford Bulldogs thus being eliminated from the tournament. PAGE FIFTY FIVE MU| Left to right: First row—Coach Kunitz, B. Cochran. A. Castaneda. E.

B SQUAD Working with a system of two coaches this year the B team was an entirely separate group from the A team. Robert Kunitz coached the B team. Competition for the B team was mainly against second teams rather than B” squads. However, the B squad brought on several victories. The B squad showed great ability which will be proven farther next year. PAGE FIFTY-SIX First teom bock left to right—M. Lopez, M. Barriga, J. Gonzales, J. Gomez, Av S. Madrid. Front row—M.

This year the squad was made up chiefly of last year's second stringers. Although the girls did not win many games, they turned in a good performance. The first game, October 6, was a victory over Virden, 17-19. The next game on October II with Duncan was lost 12-34, but not without a battle by the opponents. The second game with Virden, October 20, and with Duncan, October 27, also gave victories to the opposing teams, but Clifton came back with two victories over Morenci, November 3 and 8, the score being 45-5 the first game, and 23-16 the second. The district tournament was held November 17, with Morenci, Virden, Duncan and Clifton competing. Morenci and Clifton fell behind in the play for consolation champs. The titles went to Duncan first, Virden second, and Clifton third. This year's lettermen were Marie Lopez, Josephine Gomez, Margie Roybal, Jeusita Gonzales, Mary Stuart, Susan Madrid, Dora Baron, Lucille Brown, Alice Brown, and Charlotte Schade.

The second string worked hard under the direction of the Misses Elizabeth Shannon and Betty Brough. Most of the girls were beginners, but they showed a great deal of ability. These girls also made all of the out-of-town trips, and took part in the entertainment when the tournament was held. The second string played the eighth grade, getting practice for next year. The second team won three of their six games. TRACK The track team participated in two preliminary meets in preparation for the district and state meets. The first of these was an invitational meet held in Bowie in competition with fifteen other schools. Clifton tied for 8th plate at this meet. The second took place at Safford. We placed fourth at the District meet held at Thatcher. At this meet, DeLeon placed first in the 440-yard run and second in the broad jump: Nutt got second in low hurdles; Rutherford won third in low hurdles; Smith placed third in 880-yard run; Stanton got second in the mile run. Clifton's 880-yard relay team won third. These five boys made the trip to the state meet at Tucson but failed to win any places. Clifton's track prospects are on the up grade shown by the results of this year's meets. Last year’s track team had only one man eligible for the state meet—DeLeon. Track for the 1946 season was coached by Mr. Kunitz. Top picture, left to right: first row G. Cosper, R. Seanz. A. Murillo, R. Wright, R. Valencia, B. Cochran, M. Rutherford.

PAGE FIFTY NINE TENNIS In the Spring of 1945 about sixteen students turned out for Tennis the first week of practice. From a tournament of elimination, fourteen were chosen to make up the regular squad. The boys were led by Tanis Madrid; and the other members were Dee Nutt. Raul Tomp, Gene Cosper, Junior McWilliams, John Montgomery, and Don Cox. The girls’ squad, led by Kate Tomp and Betty Gray, were Bonnie Crisp, Inez Martinez, Ophelia Sandoval. Marie Lopez, and Kate Liem. Two tournaments were played against Duncan during the year. At the first tournament, held at Clifton, Kate Tomp won a match, and Tanis Madrid and Gene Cosper won theirs. Mixed doubles were played also. At the District Tournament, mixed doubles were played. Betty Gray and Dee Nutt took their match. Sports Snaps 1. He s as tough as his smile is broad. 2.

PAGE SIXTY-ONE TRAIN The out-dated locomotive, to a modern eye accustomed to sleek lines, appears ridiculous. Yet that ridiculous contraption did exactly the same work that today's diesel does—the carrying down of ore from the mine to where it can be shipped and put to use. Likewise, to many the extra-curricular activities in school may seem ridiculous. They may appear as frivilous wasters of time. But they are, in an imaginative sense, locomotives. They carry the ore—the classroom learning—to where it can be used—in practical application in the manufacturing of a student’s happiness. PAGE SIXTY-TWO Left to right: First row—C. Carmichael, C.

The first meeting was not held until late in the first semester: consequently there was little activity at the beginning of the year. This year the group was under the sponsorship of Miss Meyer. The officers for the first semester were: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Oren McLaughlin Wayne Barney De Lores Audis John O'Connell The second semester membership dropped to ten. A new election was held: and for the remainder of the year, the Honor Society was under the leadership of: President Edward Tomp Vice-President Wayne Barney Secretary Josephine Cislaghi Treasurer John O Connell One important activity of the Honor Society was the selection of two Seniors, Oren McLaughlin and Jimmy Laugharn, to compete in the scholarship contest, a nationwide competition based on general aptitude tests. The scholarship, sponsored by the National Honor Society, amounted to three hundred dollars. Another important event in the history of this year's Honor Society group was the utraditional spring banquet. As has been the custom in recent years, the Honor Society banquet was combined with the Letterman's banquet. Toward the close of school, the Society enjoyed several social gatherings. PAGE SIXTY-THREE C CLUB The ”C Club of 1945-1946 was composed of nineteen members. The officers elected were: President, Edward Tomp; Vice-President, Jim Laugharn, Secretary; Red Lowman, and Treasurer, Melvin Rutherford. The Sponsor if the C Club was Mr. Robert Kunitz. A new constitution, written by the members of the C' Club, forbade anyone in Clifton High School to wear a school sweater with stripes or a letter, unless it had been earned by that person. It also stated that the persons in Clifton High who had lettered for the first time were not members of the C Club until they received their certificates, but they would be allowed to attend the annual C1 Club dance, usually held near the end of the school year. Another provision of the Constitution was that persons from another school were not to be permitted to wear a school sweater, when attending Clifton High School, unless they remove the letter. Another C Club event was the dance. Every member of the C Club worked hard on it. The new lettermen were permitted to attend. Left to right: Top row—G. Cosper, L. Brown, A. Stanton, M. Rutherford, C.

PAGE SIXTY-FOUR LATIN CLUB Officers of the club were: Charlotte Schade Ida Tomp DeLores Audis John O'Connell Miss Lauer The Latin club this year consisted entirely of second-year Latin students. Early in the year the club made plans for the entire year. Our social activities included a Come As Your Are party, a Valentine party, and the traditional Roman Banquet. Other activities included an assembly program entitled From The Witches Kettle. This was a skit portraying basketball characters. Our last activity was a class project in which we constructed a Roman Camp on a miniature scale. This project together with individual student projects were displayed on exhibit May 17.

At the initial meeting in the fall the following officers were selected: President .... James Cauthen Vice-President Evelyn Williams Secretary ....................................................... Juanita Morris Treasurer Susan Madrid Miss Madeline Emmert, Spanish instructor, served as sponsor. A constitution for the organization was written and ratified shortly before the close of the first semester. It was at this time that the name Los Amigos was adopted. The high point of the Spanish Club year was the traditional Spanish banquet which was held on January 29. Tacos was the featured dish, supplemented by chili, cold drinks and a gelatine dessert. The banquet was the complete responsibility of the club members, and various committees supervised the planning and the actual cooking and serving. Club pins were an object of attention during the year. It was agreed upon to buy individual lapel pins, but due to the lateness in collecting the necessary deposit, the ordering was postponed until the beginning of the next school year. In conclusion to the year of activity, a picnic was held late in spring. PAGE SIXTY SIX Left to right: First row—T. Morones, C. Cormichoel, A. Stanton, E. Romero, B. Deaver, B. Ortega, V. Lara, O.

COMMERCIAL CLUB Officers: President John Montgomery Vice-President Jimmy Laugharn Secretary-Treasurer Charlyne Carmichael Sponsor ........................................................ Miss Lauer The Commercial Club of 1945-1946 consisted of 25 members this year. A large number of boys became members, a welcome addition as last year's club was made up entirely of girls. Initiation for the new members, held during seventh period on January 24, was based on an amateur hour. Much fun and many laughs were enjoyed by all, and refreshments were served. Only one of the group had been a member last year. Besides the officers, a number of standing committees headed the activities of the organization. These committees and their chairmen were: Program, Charlotte Schade: Social, Ann Stanton; Year Book, Herndon O'Connell: Publicity, Charlyne Carmichael: Newspaper, Oren McLaughlin. Meetings were held twice a month with different people in charge each time. This gave everyone a chance to take part. Members were taught the use of various business machines. Club meetings were devoted to these various activities: explanation and use of various business machines; debate on topic Resolved that the curriculum of business subjects offered in high school is adequate for the average student : a talk on business experiences by Mr. Hector Thompson now Vicar of Episcopal Church; typing to rhythm or drums; a field trip visiting a large office; a film on demonstrating typing techniques and a skit by students entitled Choosing a Secretary. The skit was written and produced by Charlyne Carmichael. PAGE SIXTY.SEVEN Left to right: First row—M. Stuart, V. Lara, A. Stonton, B. Ortega, J. Castaneda, J. Sanchez, D. Baron, P. Sorrells, A.

Bailon GIRLS' LEAGUE Teresa Morones Susan Madrid Cleo Jiminez Mary Stuart with Miss Eisenbach The Girls’ League was reorganized in the early part of the school year 1945-1946 Officers were elected with the following results: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Home Economics teacher was automatically sponsor serving the first semester and Mrs. Dugan the second. At the second meeting, Miss Eisenbach suggested that the girls adopt colors and a flower so that, in the future, new members could be initiated into the League. The girls liked the idea and chose dark blue and light blue for colors, and the white carnation for the flower. The first activity of the League was the all-girl dance which also served as a farewell party for the advisor, who had married Harlan Whipple during the Christmas Vacation. Before she left, Mrs. Whipple was presented with a gift from the girls. The main event of the year was the annual formal dance, now known as the Sweetheart Ball. In order to raise money for the dance, the girls held a food sale which was very successful. Mrs. Dugan, the new sponsor, helped to make the dance a success. Left to right: First row—V. Hernondez, D.

PAGE SEVENTY-ONE JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross work for the past year has been carried on under the direction of the school nurse, Mrs. Smith. Members of the eighth grade class assisted Mrs. Smith in various projects to help those people who are suffering from the effects of the war. The most worthwhile project which this group undertook was the packing of boxes for needy school children in war-torn countries. Many useful things such as stuffed toys, wash cloths, towels, favors, and many other articles were included in these boxes. PAGE SEVENTY-TWO Miscellaneous Snaps 1. Stretching exercises, Peay? 2.

Its services are gladly accepted, but there is rarely a thought of the tremendous complications behind the service. The publications activities of the school are, to a milder degree, as unthanked as the post office. Its services, the monthly newspaper and the yearbook, are warmly received. But few see the effort that made them. While the work in a postoffice is not physically strenuous, it does carry great trust and responsibility. The trust and responsibility placed upon the publications department of the school is equally as weighty. These publishers must literally put the school down in print. They reflect the student. They record, permanently, the currents in high school life.

PAGE SEVENTY-EIGHT ACCORDING TO ORDERS LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON Out for a drive in her pony-cart, an elderly lady managed to get involved in some army maneuvers. As she approached a bridge a sentry stopped her. Sorry, madam, he said, you can't cross this bridge. It's just been destroyed. The old lady peered at it through her spectacles. It looks all right to me, she murmured. Then, as another soldier came along, she asked: Excuse me, but can you tell me what's wrong with this bridge. The soldier shook his head. Don't ask me, lady, he replied; I've been dead two days. NEVER AGAIN Mother wanted to spend Saturday in town, and father, an accountant, reluctantly agreed to give up his golf and spend the afternoon with the children. On the return of mother, the father handed her the following report of the afternoon: Dried tears—9 times. Tied shoes—13 times. Toy balloons purchased—3 per child. Average life of a balloon—13 seconds. Cautioned children not to cross street—21 times. Children crossed street-21 times. Number of Saturdays I will do this again—0. • • NOT TO MISS ANYBODY A man had been bitten by a mad dog and was rushed to the hospital for examinction. The doctor pronounced the cose hydrophobia. A few minutes later the patient summoned a nurse and asked her to bring him a pencil and some paper. After several minutes of business with the pencil and paper, in which he wrote, erased, scratched, and rewrote, the nurse said: Hadn't you better have a lawyer assist you in making your will? I'm not making my will, the patient answered. I'm making a list of the people I want to bite. • • • TIN EAR Chief: Why didn't you turn out? Didn't you hear the bugle blow reveille? Recruit: Honest, Chief, I'm afraid I'm going to be a flop os a sailor. I don't know one tune from another. • • • SO MUCH FOR SO LITTLE Three boys were boasting about the earning capacity of their fathers. The first said: My father can write a few lines and call it poetry and sell it for $10. My father. said the second, can draw a few lines, add a few dots and call it music. He sells it for $25. The third scoffed at the others, saying, That's nothing! My father is a preacher. He can write a few lines, say them in church, and it takes six men to carry the money down the aisles. Say, pop, did you go to Sunday school when you were a little boy? Yes, son—regularly. I'll bet it won't do me any good, either. • • • KNOWS HIS RIGHTS Bobby: Mother, you have no right to send me to bed without my supper. Mother: Why, what do you mean, young man? Bobby: Well, the Declaration of Independ- ence says 'there should be no governing without the consent of the governed'. • • • CAPABLE A girl entered the manager's office to apply for a job, and when asked if she had any articular qualifications or unusual talents, stated that she had won several prizes in crossword puzzle and slogan contests. That sounds good, the manager told her, but we want somebody who will be smart during office hours. Oh. she explained brightly, this WAS during office hours. • • • THAT MEAT SHORTAGE AGAIN This afternoon, said the professor to his zoology class, we take Mr. Frog apart. I have a frog in my pocket to be used os a specimen. He reached into his pocket and drew out a paper bag which he emptied on the table . . . and out rolled a badly squashed sandwich. The professor mopped his brow. My goodness! he stammered. I distinctly remember eating my lunch. • • • CONFUSED A newcomer in a war plont stopped to chat with one of the workers. Look at that youngster over there, he said, the one with the overalls, cropped hair, and nails in her mouth. It's hard to tell whether it's a boy or a girl. That's a girl, all right, said the war worker. She's my daughter. The newcomer apologized. Please forgive me, he said. I didn't know you were her father. Father, nothing, said the worker, indignantly, I'm her mother! • • • MISTAKEN IDENTITY A man who was wanted by the police had been photographed in six positions, and the pictures had been sent out to the state police. In a few days headquarters received this from a small-town chief: I duly received the pictures of six miscreants wanted. Five of them have been captured and we are on the trail of the sixth.
