Principal I am happy to express, through the Trojan, my greetings and qood wishes to the Student Body of Clifton High School. The future of Clifton Hiqh School is : indeed a bright one. It has been made possible through the united efforts of the students, alumnae, and faculty of the high school.

NORMAN CLEMENTS Superintendent of Schools Mr. Clements came to Clifton this year from Globe. Arizona where he had tauqht for sixteen years. He received his A. B. degree from Tempo in 1932 and his M. A. degree from the University of Southern Californio in 1939. Durinq his first seven years in Globe he coached the iunior varsity squad in high school. For the next three years he was head coach and had charge of the physical education department. He then became principal of Hill Street School in East Globe, holding that position for six years and up to his arrival in Clifton. During his early teachinq career, Mr. Clements taught history. All youth needs to understand the rights and duties of the citizen of a democratic society. Our schools are democratic organizations. Everyone may put his abilities to work, and his abilities are put to work without regard for personal gain. Our contributions are for the benefit of the student body of Clifton High School. The seniors have attained that goal this year and the underclassmen will carry on. We have worked hard, some not so hard, but we have had fun—the kind of work and fun that we can talk about in the years to come and feel proud that we were a part of the student body of 1949. Clifton High School has attempted to lay a foundation that will permit our students to be competent in meeting their obligations as members of a community. We hope that in the years to come that our students may be able to think nationally and listen with understanding. Congratulations on a fine annual and the best of luck to the student body—particularly the Seniors of 1949.—Norman Clements BLANCHE BAKER Secretary Miss Baker is a graduate of Clifton High School, graduating in the Class of 1924. She has served as secretary to the superintendent for the past eleven years. Her faithfulness, efficiency, and assistance to each of us are deservinq of much praise.
