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

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 —

£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 —
