YEARBOOK Published by the CUFTON HIGH SCHOOL Clifton, Arizona This is the studio, prosaic but productive. In it are special rooms for special photography—for math, science, English, history. It is uncommonly wonderful for its cameras, over 250 pairs of them! These cameras are the eyes of the students, each busily recording in the memory of its owner the happy cinema which is high school life. ☆ ☆ This is the theater. It is here that the products of the involved workings of the whole studio are laid out for public exhibition. The showcases are filled with plays, parties, concerts, contests, and games. The most solemn exhibition is in late May, when a ceremony we call graduation occurs. It is then that the polished result of the CHS Studio marches in as a premiere, and out to world distribution. tV 'vV ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ THE Lot This is the lot. It is put into use when big settings are demanded—when there must be an abundance of room for action. Rehearsals are scheduled in the and in the spring, from 3:20 to 6:00 in the afternoon. Sunlight is used for lighting, mountain air for ventilation, and boys voices tor sound effects. ☆ ☆ ☆ tV IN APPRECIATION Mr. Gabusi is as indispensable to our TROJAN as an oak is on an acorn. For a year book is built about its pictures, and before we can build, Mr. Gabusi must supply the pictures. We are pleased that with his photographic skills he combines a kind friendliness, patience, and joviality that records only genuine smiles on the film. ■ V O 'xpe iiyi6e?zcten-f Again, THE TROJAN makes a hit. This time with the hit theme -Movies. I am sure that you will agree with me that the 194-7 TROJAN is the best yet and that this book is another step forward in the progress of Clifton High School. I hope that the 1947 hit production will always recall one of life's happiest years to each of you students and that you will always cherish your part in the cast of this outstanding production. I wish to thank each of you for any part you may have had in making 1946-47 an outstanding year. Jack delzner Superintendent 'w7 'vV ☆ w7 'kt ■vV The extra-curricular activities are the show of our school life. We work hard to produce an extravaganza which will please the public ere - a winning football team, an excellent concert, an outstanding play, a championship volleyball team, an attractive annual, etc. These are all important to our school production but the most vital activities are those which go on behind the scenes - those which the public seldom witness. Here the processes of learning are carried on. You as pupils are taught the art of acting in the greatest show of all times - Life and Living . Put all you have into your studies. Learn so that you will become a star in your life after graduation. J. M. Stephenson Left to right: R. S. Ross, Ralph Baker, Ira Spoon. The School Board is one of the very few groups that neyer much recognition. They are elected by the citizens of the schoo '5 trict for a term of three years. Through -these men the school has permission to spend school funds and buy all necessary supplies. The students and faculty are grea+ly indebted to them for their endeavors to make our schools such high institutions of learning.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Through their four years in Clifton High School, the Senior class of 1947 has without doubt enjoyed pleasures which never again will be experienced. Many mem ories will remain in the minds of the members, and their close friendships with one another will always be remembered. In September, 1943, 54 united, but scared, Freshmen walked through the doors of C. H. S. for their first time. They didn't know what was ahead of them, but they were ready to do their best. It seemed like a dream to them. Gene Cosper lead the class, and Jimmy Ford, and Charlotte Schade were vice president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Miss Gibbens was sponsor. During their Freshman year they were made members of the school by the usual initiation, for which many boys were seen with purple spots. They also held their Freshman return dance, and climaxed the year with a picnic at Potter's Ranch. As they struggled on to their second year in high school, they found that it was not just a dream, but that something was given to students which would long linger in their minds. During their sophomore year, they gave the Freshman Initiation, Freshman Welcome dance, and wound up another successful year with a picnic at Guth-erie. They also lost three swell classmates to Uncle Sam. They were Lupe Perez, Albert Guiterrez, and Alonzo Coronado. Susan Madrid, a sophomore, entered the oratorical contest and won first prize in the local contest. Class officers were president, Melvin Rutherford: vice president, Susan Madrid: secretary-treasurer, Rafael Lara, and sponsor, Mr. Stephenson. Still pushing upwards,the ciass came fo its Junior year. Most of them were very excited over the idea of selling Aot tomales, cokes, and hamburgers at the football games to make money for the main event of the year—the Junior Prom. The theme for the Prom was China, and the auditorium was very attractively decorated. The class started a new tradition by electing a Junior Prom king and queen, and an Honorary Senior king and queen. The Juniors elected were Ann Stanton, and Melvin Rutherford. Sports were also quite popular with the class and there were nine out for sports. Class officers were president, Tom McWilliams; vice president, Rafael Lara; secretary, Susan Madrid; and treasurer, Joe Morales. Mr. Kunitz acted as sponsor. The Juniors also ended another year with a picnic on the Coronado Trail. As the classmates reached their goal as Seniors they climbed the hill to school sadly and triumphantly. Since this was the last year, they planned many social events, such as, Ditch Day, parties, and the Senior-Junior Banquet and Ball. The members also sold cokes, hot dogs, and hamburgers at the football games. Several members of the class of 47 who just returned from the service joined in our class to make the total 37. Those re-enrolling were Julio Tavison, Arthur Marquez, Rueben Urquide, Bernadino Perez, and Storm Cocks. Class officers were president. Storm Cocks, vice president Rudy Valencia, secretary, Charlotte Schade, treasurer, Ann Stanton, and sponsor, Mr. Stephenson. Now as they look back to the good old days, and say goodbye to their Alma Mater, the class of 1947 wait for the last day when they will sadly march up the aisle to receive diplomas and go out into the world, each taking his own road, maybe never to meet again, but in hopes of a good future.

The girls had to wear long skirts, boys'shirts, one high heeled shoe with a bobby sock, one low heeled shoe with a long stocking, have their hair done in colored bows, and wear the traditional cold cream on their faces. The boys took part ih the sack rush and the tug-o-war across the river; then they suffered the paddle line. The class is well represented in the Girls' League, Advisory Council, Honor Society. Latin Club, the Desert Song, and the Trojan Staff. They presented a pep assembly for one of the Football games and participated in many of the sports.

On September 29 the Trojans journeyed to Lordsburg and suffered a defeat at the hands of the powerful Mavericks. The score was 26 to 6. The next foe on Clifton's nine game schedule was the potent Safford Bulldogs. This game was played on a field of mire and the Bulldogs came out on top of a lop-sided score winning 26 to 2. Douglas was played on the 4th of October and the vaunted Bulldogs'attack went on to overpower the hapless Trojans 40 to 0. Duncan was next on the list and an under-rated but inspired Wildcat team put up a valiant effort but was overwhelmed by a superior Clifton eleven who won 13 to 7. On October 15 the Trojans were beginning to show their terrific power as they rolled over the Pima Rough Riders by a decisive score of 32 to 0. On November 1st the Trojans were again victorious over their arch rivals the Morenci Wildcats. This was a very close contested game, much closer than the score indicates. This was a Trojan victory: 26 to 13. The next Trojan victory was over the Thatcher Eagles and the Trojans won this walking away with a score of 52 to 6. The Trojans winning streak was brought to an end when the Silver City Colts defeated them on November 15. The score was 19-14 with the Colts scoring all their touchdowns in the first few minutes of play. The Trojans wound up their season by defeating the Morenci Wildcats in one of the most closely contested games. The Trojans, some Seniors, and the Wildcats were both playing their hearts out to win the final game of the season for the coveted Copper Ingot. The Trojans won 19 to 0. £r ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ sV tV COACH ASSISTANT COACH Mr. Patton Mr. Kunitz • baske tball. WE THEY Clifton VS. Ft.

The starting five, which was to go through the season carrying the Maroon and Gold colors onto victory was as follows: forwards. Robert Wright Antonio Murrillo and Rudy Valencia, guards, Gene Cosper and Allan Stanton; and center, Don Cox. The Clifton Trojans ended their basketball season by playing at the annual district tournament at Gila Junior College.

The B squad was established to build up the under-classmen under good coaching so that when they become Juniors and Seniors they will be experienced ball players. This squad is under the direction of Robert Kunitz. The B squad has done some very excellent work considering the lack of experience and size. They have put up some of the best games to be witnessed on the Trojan home floor and won 3 out of 9 games. The squad has about 22 members. They are divided into groups according to their size and there are some very good scrimmages between the teams. ☆ r ☆ ☆ ☆ -kT COACH Miss Shannon ASSISTANT COACH Miss Brough WE THEY Clifton VS.

From the girls that were out during the first week, the coaches picked a likely number to make up the first and second teams for the remainder of the season. After two weeks of hard practice, the girls met the Morenci Wildcats and won their first victory on October 5 at Morenci. Both teams fought hard for the victory, but the Trojans came out on top with a score of 34-10. The next opponent the girls had was Virden on October 12 at Virdenrafter a hard struggle for the lead, the Eagles came out on top by a close margin of 19-16. On October 19, the Trojan eight met the highly skilled Duncan Wildcats at Duncan. The game all the way through was entirely one sided, and the final score brought Duncan the victory by a score of 31-12. November 2, brought Virden here for their' second victory against the Trojans. The score was 28-18. On November 4, Clifton played and won a second victory for the season against Morenci. The score of 19-5 proved the superiority of the Trojans. The final game of the regular season was played with Duncan on November 16, and the Trojans took the victory. This score was 26-21. The district tournament was held in Morenci on November 23. Duncan, Clifton, Morenci, and Virden were the teams that participated. Clifton drew Virden in the first round of games, and played a very closely matched game against the Eagles. Clifton came out victorious with a score of 21-18. Duncan defeated Morenci in the first round, so that left Morenci to play Virden in the consolation game for third place and Clifton to play Duncan for the championship. The final game was played the same night and Duncan took the laurels with another one sided score of 23-5 Virden upset the Morenci Wildcats in the preliminary game by a score of 27-6. After the games the Morenci captain presented the Clifton captain and the Duncan captain with the trophies for first and second places. At the close of the season the volleyball girls had their annual potluck banquet and show party. The coaches and several teachers who had helped the team to its victories were guests and added to the good time for all. Prior to the banquet the girls had a meeting and elected honorary captains for both squads for the year. The first team captain elected was Charlotte Schade. and the second team named Jes-usita Gonzalez as their captain. ft ft ft ft ft ft ft e tato £r iV The members of the Clifton Girls’ Tennis Team participated in four tournaments and the District Tennis Tournament during the tennis season of 1946.

The three-act comedy concerns a pretty and talented sixteen year old girl, Pat Holmes, and her wholehearted efforts to make trouble for a new stepmother. She is by nature high tempered and impetuous, and since she has been spoiled by a youthful father, she never hesitates to make scenes. A younger sister is a movie star, and Pat finds her quite irritating because she considers drama her own element. The fact that the stepmother was previously her geometry teacher and had flunked her is another thorn in her pride. Gloria com6s to visit the Holmes', an attempt at free publicity is made, but it catches up the whole family in its failure, even risking the life of Mrs. Holmes. In the end, Mrs. Holmes, who really is an understanding, kindly woman uses her tact to reconcile the discordant family. Left to Right: T. Wright, B. Ridlon, J. O’Connell. A. Stanton, C.

The vocational shop and industrial arts classes are under the direction of Mr. Absher. Throughout the year the boys do various jobs around the school that are not in the janitor's line. During the football season they lined the football field, and made signs for the games. Some of their other projects have been to pour cement in back of the tennis court, paint the lines on the tennnis court, and make a room in the auditorium in which to keep the score board. During the second semester they did work for their own benefit, mostly making home goods and articles to put on exhibit. The aeronautical drawing class is also under the direction of Mr. Absher.
