(Not shown: Jean- ette Nelson, Editor) Desert Song The Desert Song is published in order to bring to the student body and the faculty the latest news in important events occurring around the school premises and on the sports field. Each member of the student body is given a paper without charge. In order to defray ex- penses of the paper, advertising space is sold to local merchants at the beginning of the school year. On December 16, 1959, the Desert Song and Trojan staffs gave a Christmas party in the band room for staff members and guests. On behalf of both staffs, Jeanette Nelson presented a cor- sage to Miss Chancellor in appreciation of her sponsorship. In the spring a few staff members were chosen to attend the press convention held at the University of Arizona for further training in publishing a better school newspaper.

The annual staff of 1959-60 chose Dan Danenhauer, editor; Gretna Phinizy, assistant editor; and Christine Dow, business manager. Annual sponsor was Miss Chancellor. The major activity of the staff was publishing the 1959-60 edition of the Trojan. Supplemen- tary activities were: a Christmas party for the staff and their guests, a sock-hop after the Safford-Clifton game, and the concession stand at the Silver City-Clifton football game. At the start of the school year the staff sold advertising space in the annual to merchants of Clifton, Morenci, Duncan, and Safford. Then after this selling campaign, the decision was made on the size of the annual to be published. Much work was done on the annual during the publica- tions period which is a part of the regular school day. However, much time was also spent after school in order to complete the task of annual publication. The final deadline for annual copy was set for March 15 in order that delivery of the Trojan could be made late in May be- fore the end of the school year.

Girls’ League The girls'work bears fruit as many couples enjoy the annual Girls' League. The purpose of the Girls' League is to provide a social outlet for the girls of CHS. In order to do this, the League has several activities each year. These activities include a Tea in May for the future freshmen, a banquet, a formal dance, and the state convention. The banquet this year was held in the fall. It was a semi-formal banquet with an Oriental theme. The annual formal dance was held on October 24, 1959. The gym was beautifully decorated in gold and white, fitting the theme of Bella Noche, which means beautiful night. Eight of the most outstanding members attended the State Convention held in Phoenix in April.
