Clifton High School - Trojan Yearbook (Clifton, AZ)

Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1951 volume:

Foreword Pardners, here is your 1951 Trojan pre- sented to you in a western manner by the annual staff. Hundreds of years ago men came West searching for gold. As a result, there began the colorful history and traditions for which the West is so well known. Nine months ago an estimate of 200 stu- dents entered C.H.S. searching for an education. They sought honors in all departments, whether scholastic, athletic or social. Some hit their bonanza, some did not. Throughout the following pages is the his- tory of their search.

Oh Clifton High School Alma Mater hail the Maroon and Gold Unfurl well up the banners for all to behold, A thund'rous cheer is rising high Echoing praises in the sky, Sure, we shall stray yet hearts will stay Alma Mater with thee. (tdoard oj ddducation A. C. Stanton, President Joe Seida, Clerk O. B. Willis, Member One of the best and most unselfish ways a man can serve his community is by becom- ing a member of a school board. The position requires a great amount of thought and work, and offers no pay, and in a community like ours, very little honor. The board must meet often and has a great amount of responsibility in regard to the educational program and especially the financing of our school. Our district has one of the best boards in the state of Arizona, and a large amount of the credit for our good schools belongs to them. We are proud of them, of our schools, and the work they do. 2)eJicateJ TO EDUCATION — A process involving the revelation of life itself the highest means of training and preparing the individual to take his place in society.

Jentor Alvin Fritz Vice-President William Lawson President Velma Caballero Secretary Senior SJistori Gilbert Madrid Treasurer We seniors now have received our diplomas. But with the joy in our hearts we recall memories which remind us of cur beginning of these glorious years. It all began back in the year of 1948, when 72 scared and meek freshmen passed through the portals of CHS tc encounter the unknown adventures which lay before them. They received a warm welcome with the traditional initiation, after which followed the cooling off at a welcome dance sponsored by the proud sophomores. Our leaders for this year were: President, Bennie Roman; Vice-President, Gilbert Madrid; Secretary, Velma Cabal- lero; Treasurer, Arnoldo Martinez; Sponsor, Ray Walker. The highlight of our sophomore year was the freshman initiation and an assembly program for a football game. Toward the end of the year we enjoyed a class picnic. The officers for that year were: President, Ernesto Gutier- rez; Vice-President, William Lawson; Secretary, Cecilia Gonzales; Treasurer, Frances Chavarria; Sponsors, Guido Cislaghi and Russell Sturgeon. Our junior year was made up of 54 students. This year cur class was well represented in sports and clubs. Our climax this year was the Junoir-Senior Prom which was held April 15. Before the prom we feasted with the un- foraettable seniors at their banquet. (Jlficers for this year were: President. Esiquel Trujillo; Vice-President. William Lawson; Secretary. Cecelia Gon- zales; Treasurer. Candelaria Sandoval; Sponsors. Guido Cislaghi and Russell Sturqeon. Our last year at Clifton High School has been a gionous one. To relieve school monotony, we seniors held a Ball on November 25. Twenty-eight seniors motored to Tucson for Senior Day at the University of Arizona. We were cmong 2400 students who were attending this event. The mysterious event of the year was Ditch Day. The destination was unknown even to the unsuspecting seniors. The last, but not least, event of the year was the senior banquet held in the spring. Our officers for this year were: President, William Lawson; Vice-President, Alvin Fritz; Secretary, Cecilia Gonzales; Treasurer, Gilbert Madrid; Sponsors, Guido Cislaghi and Russell Sturqeon.

Activities that year were limited to one class picnic. On September, 1948, they returned and after a hectic initiation they became full-fledged members of the CHS student body. As freshmen they were required to keep up their class traditions. They staged a return dance, white- washed the C and enjoyed a picnic. Officers for that year were: President, Manuel Peiea; Vice-President, Henry Tavison; Secretary, Cecilia Chavez; Treasurer, Fred Montez. On September, 1949, they came back as revengeful sophomores. They initiated the freshmen and honored them with a dance. They were the first sophomore class to sell at a football game. Officers for that year were: President, Charles Spezia; Vice-President, Melsina Scott; Secretary, Cecilia Chavez; Treasurer, Richard McCusker. On September, 1950, they made a come-back as ambitious juniors. They were well represented in all school orgnizations. Their activities were: Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet, selling at football games, and a picnic. Officers for that year were: President, Adolfo Perez; Vice-President. Richard McCusker; Secretary, Melsina Scott; Treasurer, Sam Gilliland.

SP ez 1 a K rt L jA 5 $ 6 ; INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Industrial Apts program consists of three courses, namely mechanical drawing, wood work, and vocational shop. These courses are being offered from the eighth grade through the senior year in high school. Each student in the Eighth grade. Freshman and Sophomore classes of Industrial Arts is required to make an approved project in wood working of his choice. Mechanical drdhving which is offered the first semester is closely correlated with wood working as plans for wood working projects are made during mechanical drawing time. Vocational Shop students are given opportunities to learn the building trades through various projects in build- ing in and about the school and community. CHEMISTRY CLASS This year a very competitive chemistry class is studying the world of elements and earth's composition with keen interest in the basic and fundamental stiuctures of the universe. In this class, well represented by the upper classmen, all work together as a unit in studying the achievements and discoveries of great men. ENGLISH IV CLASS Th© Purpose of our English class is to teach the students how to get along with each other through a know- ledge of English. This is a year in which we have tried to put our ideas across, not only to our neighbors, but to the world; not only to our friends, but to our enemies— The pen is mightier than the sword. —Bulwer Lytton. Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. —Lord Brougham. Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither justice nor freedom can GENERAL BUSINESS The major purpose of General Busniess is to give pupils an understanding of business practices valuable to consumers of business goods and services. Although the content of the text is of general interest, pupils who elect to continue the study of business subjects will find that they have acquired a basic background for the further study of business courses. Furthermore, since various fields of business knowledge are explored, pupils will obtain much information and experience that will provide them with a better understanding of their own aptitudes and abilities, and thus show their interests in the business field. The General Business Class, directed by Miss Lauer this year, visited the local bank to see the various machines used and the procedure in which the work is handled by the banker and his assistants. The class uses workbooks in which many forms used by banks, post offices, and other businesses, are studied and filled in by the students. DRAMATICS CLASS One of the objectives which Mr. Meneley, the dramatics instructor, set forth to accomplish was teaching his class to conquer the fear of facing a large audience. In doing this the students learned to gain poise and confidence. The class presented assemblies for the games and performed at the half of the Clifton-Globe game. A Christmas program was presented on December 22. 1950, called And no B;rds Sing. Recordings on public speaking, and radio programs were heard during class periods to help the students in their understanding of public speaking. VOCATIONAL SHOP The vocational shop class of each year is composed of about two dozen high school students. This course gives two credits to all boys taking it. This year Mr. Guido Cislaghi is directing the class in doing the most to improve the school. This past year they have erected the student bleachers on the football field and painted the lines. They have reconstructed a cement wall on the west side of the school lawn. Some benches on the east front side of the school are being built also. We are all thankful for the fine work the class does in furnishing our school with improvements we need. SPANISH I CLASS Here in the southwest where many Spanish Americans live, Spanish has come to be one of the important subjects studied in Clifton High School. One of the main reasons students take Spanish is to learn how to read and write it. As Mexico is our nearest neighbor it is interesting to know of the character of the people, its customs and tra- ditions. HOME ECONOMICS CLASS Home Economics is advantageous to all girls for it offers explanations to problems which girls are and will be faced with later in life. Home Management is one of the problems taken up in this course. Its purpose is to teach girls how to manage a household. With this consumer buying is necessary. One must learn to serve good healthy meals without strain- ing one s budget. Clothing Selection is another of these problems. Here they are taught to select clothing which will suit their features, also what colors of clothing are suitable to wear with others. Human relationships includes such problems as the approaching marriage, making the family economically sound, relationships within the family, planning for the job ahead. Child Guidance is another unit which is important, in which the girls recognize that these are attitudes and practices important in guiding children.
