■■■ PRESENTING THE '56 TROJAN THROUGH T. V. Yearbook Co-Editors Sandra Cotey and Michael Monsegur Published by the Business Manager Virginia Jaquez CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL Sponsor Miss Carol Lauer Clifton, Arizona I fyweuixwl Between the covers of the 1956 TROJAN, we have attempted to give to the students of Clifton High School the history of the school year of 1956 as it would be seen on television. The joys, sorrows, failures, and victories which make up school life are gathered here and published for the Clifton High School students. Se hope that in years to come the students will receive as much enjoyment and satisfaction from the contents of the 1956 TROJAN as we have had compiling it. — 3 — At tile end of each school year, I am apprehensive of the work that has been accomplished in our Clifton School system. ft e know that the life blood of a democratic society is a sound educational system, free to all, in w hich the rights of every child are recognized, and adequate opportunity is given for the development of his individual capacities in accordance with his needs, interests, and inborn abilities. Democracy may be said to be a way of social living which enables each of us to develop his personality in the light of our American ideals and to attain a full measure of individual, family, and group development through the protection of freedoms and rights guaranteed him by tradition and by law. To attain this development, however, the individual must fulfill his responsibilities to the government and to the group of which he is a member. Has the Clifton School system given its students insight on the benefits and responsibilities of our democratic society? Looking at the prospectus of the student body collectively or individually, I can see that basically our teaching staff has instilled into our students the ingredients necessary for them to assume the role of citizens in our society, ft hat you students do with the patterns that our educational mold has produced will be strictly in your hands. 1 can only hope that you will go on to attain success in the world of science, business, or public affairs with the thought in mind that, above all, you must be a success as a citizen in your community in order to perpetuate our unique democratic society. My congratulations to the seniors and may the undergraduates carry on your good work. John F. Schlotfeld, Superintendent — 4 — It has been my privilege and pleasure for the past four years to serve in the capacity of principal of your school. During these years, I have found the student body to be very cooperative and willing to take up its tasks, whatever they may have been. 1 believe that we have a very outstanding and highly competent student body at Clifton High School. Your achievement in every field of endeavor at our school and in our community is proof that you are an exceptionally fine group of students. You have excelled not only in academic studies, but also in extra-cuiTicular activities as well. It is my sincere hope that you will continue in this fine work and that you may strive for even higher goals and accomplishments. Remember that you will get out of your school life only as much as you put into it. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to this year’s ''TROJAN editors, staff, and sponsor for an excellent publication. I am sure that all the long, hard hours of work involved in the planning and preparation of this publication will be well worth your while. Congratulations for an outstanding piece of work. Guido P. Cislaghi, Principal 5 £cJwd!mzA l Left to right. A. C. Stanton, Clerk; Cecil McCullar, Member; O. B. Willis, President. The School Board is one of the very few groups that never receives much recognition. The members are elected by the citizens of the school district 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 greatly indebted to them for their endeavors to make our schools such high institutions of learning. — 6 — GRACE HARSH B.A., New Mexico Western College, Silver City, New Mexico.

GEORGE CHILDS B.S., University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona. Science. When you measure what you are speaking about and can express it in numbers, you know something about it; and when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind. It may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thought advanced to the stage of science. — 7 — ALBERT ALVARADO B.A., Arizona State College, Tempe, Arizona.

V. show—one of those modern shows that so skillfully disregard all the rules of the drama. Vlith your kind permission, the play called The Class of 1956 will be reviewed. The scenes took place in corridors, classrooms, and the gymnasium of Clifton High School. The settings were plain, showing signs of wear. Act 1 opened with the arrival of the class in the halls of Clifton High School. The freshman initiation of the year put these new arrivals at the mercy of the sophomores. On the night of initiation the sophomores honored the class with a welcoming dance. After this first crisis was surmounted, things ran smoothly as the actors became acquainted with high school life. This year the stars of the show were the class officers. Karl Mullins was our president; Earl Randolph, vice-president; Minnie Rivas, secretary; and Romelia Chavarria, treasurer. The directors of the first act were Miss Minnie Meyer and Mr. Richard Carpenter, sponsors. As the curtain came down on the first act tired but triumphant freshmen were seen emerging from a background of study, sports, and other activities. Act II showed the same people in the same place, but they were now- known as the sophomores, owing to an advance in rank. This year the new freshmen were at the mercy of the so. phomores. After they were initiated, they were given a swimming party to welcome them to the ranks of high school students. New stars took the place of the old. Edwina Saenz was elected president. Other officers were Kenneth Mullins, vice-president; Romelia Chavarria, treasurer; and Minnie Rivas, secretary. A new director, Mr. James Patton, took Mr. Carpenter’s place, joining Miss Meyer in sponsorship. The year was a busy one and the time passed quickly. As the junior year began, the same actors were performing in the same place—a fact which may make the play seem monotonous to you; but it was not, for the position and pride of the cast advanced. Officers for the year were Ernesto Montez, president; Carlos Munoz, vice-president; Minnie Rivas, secretary; and Romelia Chavarria, treasurer. This was a fast-moving act in the drama. The big events of the year were the ordering and receiving of class rings and giving of the junior-senior prom. Some of the actors, all of whom had entered the cast on equal footing, had become prominent in the spotlight. Four classmates were chosen to attend Boys’ and Girls’ State: Kent Vlebster and Carlos Munoz attended Boys’ State, and Edwina Saenz and Stella Jaquez attended Girls’ State. Earl Randolph and Raul Nafarrate made Class B” All State, first string, in basketball. Ernesto Franco was elected to head the student body as student Dody president the coming year. All in all, the junior year was a very happy and successful act. Act IV arrived at last and was warmly received. By this time the actors were mature and at ease. To lead the senior class in the final act of the drama, the class elected Carlos Munoz as president. Roger Martinez w as elected vice-president; Minnie Rivas, secretary; and Clara Morales, treasurer. Directors and sponsors for the year were Miss Meyer and Mr. Patton. The action of this act was more rapid and complicated than that of the preceding acts. The actors who had shown promise of being stars in the preceding acts had fullfilled that promise and continued to shine brightly. Earl Randolph, outstanding man in sports, broke a state Class B” record for scoring in basketball. Edwina Saenz was chosen D.A.R. representative. Betty Jo Ford won the Betty Crocker Homemaking A-ward. The juniors gave a wonderful prom and in turn these seniors gave them a banquet. The actors studied hard for they realized that the all important graduation was close at hand. The end of the show had drawn near; final days of high school were at hand. Tests and examinations played a big part in those days. Then the final scenes drew near; another high school career came to an end. Days of work and play, fun and sorrow in high school were gone. Baccalaureate exercises were held. Then finally the climax of the show—graduation! This was a star-studded night, but the veteran actors sincerely regretted leaving Clifton High School. The girls, in stately white and the boys in maroon confidently received their coveted diplomas. Thus, the show ended in a burst of glory; a little sad, yes, but the graduates knew that they had finally achieved their goal. Vlith the well-known and ever popular happy ending, the final curtain rang down on the class of ’56. — 24 — DURELLE WARE 'What she greatly thought, she nobly dared” Volleyball 1 2,3(lettered 1,2,3 Library Club 2; Glee Club 3; Dramatics 4; Band 1,2,3,4; Dance Band 4; Lyres Club 4 KENT WEBSTER ' 'Studious and dependable” Tennis 1,2,3,4 (lettered 2,3,4 Honor Society 1,2,3,4, President 4; Science Club 3; Boys’ State 3; Valedictorian 4 Stella, can you still climb trees? — 25 — Ernesto, student body president Remmie Roman — do you recognize him? Ga- toMincj, 7ke Qum M- Ruth Goodwin, Representative Tony Saenz, Representative GlaAA, JltitoAy The junior class presented a very interesting series of short acts for our little T. V. drama. (The fourth and final act will take place during our coming senior year.) The first act featured 76 amateurs who were initiated into high school by the sophomores. On the afternoon of initiation the blithe-spirited ones whitewashed the C” on Shannon Hill. That evening a swimming party given by the sophomores helped to heighten the humor of our premiere. The freshmen gave the largest contribution to the March of Dimes Drive in C. H. S. and thus showed their esprit de corps. Act II -- the blossoming artists numbered 78. What comedy there was in the coming of the freshmen with the traditional initiation and swimming party! This year some of our actors had their names in lights. As the curtain rose on the third act of our show—our junior year—our troupe dropped to 66. There was no mistaking the critics praise of the highlights of our junior year: The ordering of our class rings and giving of the prom. The leading men and women whose names and successes were known in school business included Emma Garza and Sandra Cotey, student body officers; Michael Mon- segur, outstanding bandsman; Judy Baker, Girls’ League officer; Joe Torres, outstanding sportsman in football; and Tom Keppler, our class president. As this review goes to press, the audience is eagerly awaiting the final act of the class of 57 which promises to be filled with both comedy and drama for the cast.

The freshman year began as the sophomores initiated the new freshmen. The class then whitewashed the ”C” and that night attended a swimming party in its honor. During the spring of the year the class gave the sophomores a return party. During the sophomore year some of the class began to take leading parts in the high school scene. There were sophomores active in sports and other school activities. The end of the second year found a class prepared to meet and surmount further obstacles of high school life. — 32 — Jennie Aguilar Ralph Allan Baker Pete Campos Alvaro Coronado Leon Aguinaga Joy Brown Raquel Castaneda Roy Gene Dunsworth v -W • Manuel Apodaca Thomas Cabrera Sophia Castaneda Gerald Evans a -4k N A Jose Bailon Fred Campbell Sylvia Chavez Alton Ford Fernando Gonzales Arlene Rica Hill Gloria Lopez Ignacio Medina, Jr. Lowell Green Darlene Alva Hill Jose Cruz Lopez Herminia Medina William Green Guadalupe Jaquez Bonnie McBride Bruce Mitchell I I -4 Man ha Hicks William Kingsley Herman Medina Herminia Montoya Irene Nabor Delores Perez Alice Rowden Reina Soto Kmilio Nafarrate, Jr. Gary Reay Dorothea Roybal James Taylor Andres Onate Barbara Reyes Helen Sanchez Johnny Trujillo Patricia Parsons Ronald Rivera Mary Gloria Soto Armida Varela — 35 — Carmen Velasquez a M George Verdugo Romulo Villescas Gloria Vozza A meeting at the court hcuse.

The purpose of the Girls’ League is to give girls an opportunity to share each other’s ideas. The members discuss school and personal problems during their meetings. Every year the Girls’ League puts on the annual Girls’ League formal, a big social event of the school year. The theme this year was Over the Rainbow” and the predominating colors were the colors of the rainbow. For a money-making project, the girls held a cupcake sale in January. In February the officers also attended the state convention in Tempe. The sponsors were Mrs. Stella Cosper and Mr. Albert Alvarado. As a whole, the Girls’ League had a very successful year.

H. S. football team completed its season with a very outstanding performance of power. After a thirteen-year losing streak to Safford, the Trojans stopped them with a tied game. But this year, as in every other year, we had to bid a sad farewell to the seniors on the team. They were Earl Randolph, Ernesto Franco, Allen Brown, Alton Blair, Albert Lara, Gonzalo Ochoa, Don Preston, Leo Miranda, and Daniel Gonzales. CHANNEL 2: VOLLEYBALL The Clifton volleyball team had a very successful year during the school year 1955-56. The girls achieved this by hard work and practice. At the end of the season the girls attended the district tournament at Thatcher. Although they didn’t place, they gained much in the way of learning good sportsmanship.

Though the Trojans placed fourth in the district tournament and failed to place in the state tournament, they displayed a fine ability to play ball. Earl Randolph was chosen as the captain of the district tournament’s first team and as the center of the all-state first team. Earl also broke a state record for scoring during his four-year career at Clifton High School. — 66 — fealJzetlKiU Left to right.
