 -r fj ' ■ y J r CHARITY DRIVE MAKES $500 LEFT: Alex Padilla, Carol Scott, and Terri Murry checking thermometer to find goal exceeded $500, The week of February 9 through 15 was set aside as CHS Charity Drive Week sponsored by the student council. A sum of $500. 00 was raised. This figure represented the most money that had ever been raised by such a charity drive at CHS. A banquet was held for the presentation of the money to presidents of the following organiza- tions: Mrs. Donna Olney, Heart Fund; Mrs. Flora Munkres, Cancer Society; Mrs. Charles Tracy, March of Dimes; and Rosemary Pochmara, Greenlee County Crippled Childrens Society. The presidents of the organizations and all student council members attended the banquet. The committee in charge of the drive was: Stephen Stanton, chairman; Dan Danenhauer, Carol Scott, and Terri Murry. The drive opened when Terri Murry and Carol Scott acted as announcers over radio station KCLF for a period of three hours. One song was played over and over again until $5.00 was raised. Then a change was made to another song. Money was also donated for special services. These services included Mr. Pavlich and Mr. Salas singing El Rancho Grande, Mr. Morris singing the Marines Hymn, and Mr. Meneley singing another solo. An auction at the high school was next. Individual teachers and students auctioned services and food to be bought by any member or group of members of the student body who did the highest bidding. Over the weekend the committee and helpers sponsored a toll bridge project on the new Clifton bridge. As cars passed, charity drive donations were solicited. The drive ended with a faculty basket- ball game between the Morenci and Clifton faculty members. It is tradition at CHS to give the student body a one-half day holiday whenever they raise over $100. 00 in a charity drive. The 1959-60 student body definitely earned their holiday.

Future Teachers of America The Clifton FTA was very active during the school year of 1959-60. At the first meeting, chairmen were chosen for committees to assist at each meeting of the year. Mr. Meneley was guest speaker for the first meeting in September. Each member brought a classmate to the meeting. In October the members traveled to Duncan to attend the County FTA meeting. Clifton members were elected to three top offices. They were: vice-president, Nedra Webster; secre- tary-treasurer, Mary Arlene Salcido; and historian, Mary Albo. In November members were chosen as assistants to the elementary teachers. The purpose of assisting the elementary teachers is to give FTA members an idea of the goals and duties of a teacher. In December, the FTA members enjoyed a Christmas Stephen and Irene fulfill their FTA duties. PartV- ToVs were collected and sent to the Sunshine Acres Children's Home in Tempe. The club also presented Mrs. Sophia Farnsworth with a Christmas gift. The Clifton Chapter of FTA is named after Mrs. Farnsworth. In Feb- ruary the FTA assisted with the polio drive. In March, s e 1 e c t e d members traveled to Phoenix to attend the state convention at North Phoenix High School.
