vwwwwmn Emmanaa Impressions taking us beyond today, creating a sense of security in the indistinct line to be forever traced. This being merely a reproduction of all aspects of life at C.H.S., bearing the mark of past experi- ence. Presenting the force of first impressions on the mind, conscience, and feelings of each student in order to stimulate interest in this, our yearbook, and preserving in- distinct memories of the 1967-1968 school year by a presentation of the character, emotion, and sentiment of each absorbing moment of C.H.S. life. A brief summary planned, purposed, and presented to you for posterity. Entering these halls for the first time in your life, you're confused, excited, and al- ways waiting to see what the year will bring. Returning with your heads filled with memories, your sophomore year is a little more difficult. Sensingtotal adjustment from the year before, you now settle down to high school life. Having almost reached your goal, you, as juniors, are no longer an underclassman. You've surpassed that mark, and your thirst for knowledge continues. And finally, you've completed your last year, which is one of prestige, but above all . . . you've conquered the highest year's learning in high school. You face a totally new world. Where before you depended on others, you now have to depend on yourself. Following the barely discernible line which indicates the passage of the students, we have conveyed in 116 pages, feelings and captured a year of memorable events . Truly a reproduction to be kept for life... to pause in continuous thought: our part complete. You are very distinct impressions of 1967- 1968 at Clifton High School, appearing dif- 2-OPENING Table Of Contents ferent because of the varying meanings to others.

Some of the students enjoyed sock-hop. Variety Of Assemblies, Programs And Dances The year was filled with a wide variety of assemblies, skits, programs, and dances en- abling the students to enjoy whatever interested them most. From the tapping of the heels of the Miguel Galindo Spanish Dance Troupe to the demon- stration of the laser beam, students were able to forget the lessons and assignments for a brief moment. Dances held after football games, after basketball games, pep rallies for football, basketball and volleyball games, awards assemblies for sports and honors through the Twirp Day election and Western Day were all a part of student life during the year. Memories of the year must, therefore, include these moments of relaxation, for without the brief moments there would be no school as work and leisure are inseparable. M. Medina received award from Miss Seibel. The Miguel Galindo Spanish dancers entertained at a special assembly, which offered cultural entertainment from professional dancers. 6-STUDENT LIFE R.

STUDENT LIFE-7 The All-School presentation provided an opportunity for Clifton High actors and actresses to display their many tal- ents . A play with an unusually large cast was chosen for the annual production of the Clifton High dramatics department. The story of the play concerned the efforts of Peggy Morgan's ambition to become a member of her favorite club, The Triple S Society. In order for her to gain membership, she had to pass a test, which was being quiet for 48 con- secutive hours. During that period of time she became the main source of trouble for her parents and her boyfriend, as well as members of the club. Cast Presents: Patty Smith, who played Betsey, won baton contest with her marching. “I'm A Family Crisis” By Esther P. Olson Donna Tellez and Vangie Montoya applied makeup on Frances Garrett, who played Mrs. Morgan, before the performance.

After the cast spent six weeks preparing, they presented the evening performance on November 30, a special night to all cast mem- bers. In order to have a successful production, it was necessary to have people behind the scenes who were capable and eager to help the director, Mr. Thomas Wright. Between scenes the audience was enter- tained by the 21st Amendment, a girl's trio composed of Deane Smith, Martha Gabusi, and Susan Smith. The 21st Amendment entertained between scenes during the evening performance. DRAMATICS-9 Lounge and Cafeteria OJfered Noisy Havens The students of Clifton High gathered in the Student Lounge to exchange gossip, meet friends, drink sodas or listen to the sounds of the school coming to life. It was here that students made dates for the big games, took a last look at homework before classes or discussed the meals served at the school caf- eteria. Together, the Lounge and Cafeteria provided congenial havens for the students to plan for the day's activities. M. Munoz stood in line for his lunch at Cafeteria. Students left Cafeteria after hearty meal. 10-LOUNGE, CAFETERIA During the winter months the student lounge became crowded with cold students who sought warmth and friendship and news about coming events. Office Girls Worked Hard To Assist Faculty In order to return to class, G. Sandoval obtained absence slip from secretary Mrs. Webster. Susan Smith and Debra Smith shelved returned library books as part of their responsibilities as library girls, who helped school librarian. E. Subia collected absent slips during rounds. Hundreds of books lined the shelves of the Clifton High Library. A theme or research paper could be written with the assistance of the friendly library girls who worked for the school librarian. Assistance was offered to the office staff by the library girls, who went around school picking up absent slips, checking notices, and being helpful in general. R. Garza typed record cards for library. OFFICE, LIBRARY-11 BOTTOM ROW: R. Villicana; V. Aguilar; R. GranadojI. Cisneros; C. Chaires; G. Licano; B. Manuz, S. Stevens; P. Smith; D. Baker; O. Mendoza.

Practicing three nights a week, making posters, and selling beat tags, the girls helped build school spirit. A maroon skirt with a gold jacket trimmed in maroon, with the jacket styled along the lines of the school sweater, was worn by the cheerleaders at the football games. A gold uniform was worn during the basketball season. A glimpse behind the scene, however, revealed that the Cheerleaders were re- quired to perform many arduous tasks. Imaginative and sound routines were de- vised to make the games more enjoyable for the spectators. R. Jurado and M. Gabusi staged skit during pep assembly. K. Patrick practiced new yells before football game. Varsity Cheerleaders Sandra Stevens; Rebecca Jurado; Kathy Patrick; and Martha Gabusi took time to practice new stance for leading students in cheers. S. Stevens put up humorous poster before game with Morenci. BOTTOM ROW: V. Starr; R. Quinonez; R. Ruiz; C. Ruiz; E. Aguallo; G. Chavarria; S. Roybal; M. Garcia; J. Cochran; K. Patrick; R. Aguilar.

I Coach Andrew Brown's J.V. blasted to a 4-2 season, the third straight year the team has had a successful season. The only losses this season were to a powerful and big Morenci team which outweighed them tremendously. The J. V.'s whipped Thatcher twice and blanked Duncan twice. Most of the players stayed out for var- sity at the end of the regular season to gain experience and to prepare for the next year. F. Barquin prevented Wildcat receiver from getting pass which was batted aside. Fred Barquin eluded pursuing halfback to score a touch- down in the second game with Duncan. 32-SPORTS, Football ECOND ROW: J. Morales; R. oach Brown; M. Cabral; B.

Varsity Hoopsters Enjoyed Mediocre Season The Trojan basketball team played a mediocre season with an overall record of 5 wins against 14 losses. The team ended in a tie for fifth place in B East conference play with a record of 4 wins and 8 losses. The Trojans were unable to beat their traditional rival, Morenci, but played two tough games in which the difference for both games was only 7 points. Both games were played on the Wildcat home court. Many factors contributed to the losing season, one, the lack of more consistent scorers. Perhaps another was the fact that the B East conference gained some new members. St. Johns, 1967 Class B State runner-up, and Round Valley, which ranked 2nd in the state and went undefeated this year, were the newest members. During the season the Trojans lost games by only one or two points, because the team could not seem to overcome the initial deficit their opponents managed to gather during the opening moments of the game. 34-SPORTS, Basketball During the EAC Christmas Invitational Tournament, Robert Aguinaga scored 34 points against the Thatcher Eagles to lead the Trojans, to a 74-47 victory and the game with Hayden.

On September 5, 1967, sixty-six new freshmen arrived at Clifton High School, eager but confused and bewildered. Being accustomed to having all sub- jects taught in one room with recesses regularly, the freshmen tried to remem- ber locker combinations as well as room numbers in order to be at the right place at the right time. The official initiation of the freshmen included the white-washing of the C on Shannon Hill and the cleaning of the trophy case and trophies in the student lounge. The freshmen sold at the concession stand during the junior varsity football games in order to increase their treasury.

As juniors they as- sumed responsibilities reserved for jun- iors and seniors . Some of their responsi- bilities included selecting their class ring and sponsoring the Junior-Senior Banquet. Finally achieving a long awaited posi - tion, they looked back on their years as freshmen and sophomores, only to find those years as rewarding as their junior year.

Juniors, CLASSES-83 Calvin Adair Ernest Aguallo Robert Aguinaga Sammy Avila Ray Aguilar Veronica Aguilar Alex Calderon James Carter Knowing Is Not Enough; We Must Do. ’ Fifty-four Seniors have reached the culmination of their high school years: graduation. Four years ago the Seniors chose as their motto: “Knowing is not enough; we must do“. Throughout their entire high school career they strove to give meaning to these words by participating in all phases of school life, whether athletics, music, government or dramatics. The Seniors’ final year in school was one of many difficult and far reach- ing decisions. The various tests taken, including ACT and Air Force Ap- titude, were designed to assist the class members discover their poten- tials for the years ahead. Many members will now venture out into the world ready to make a living by immediately seeking employment. The majority, however, will pursue education further, whether at a small college, large university or a business or vocational school. The four years which were spent working, studying, and playing to- gether are memories never to be forgotten, but rather remembered with fondness, forever. Class co-sponsor, Mrs . Eddy, supervised the selling at a football concession stand as a fund- raising project to help finance the Senior Ban- quet. 84-CLASSES, Seniors.

We hope you ap- preciate our efforts. We spent several moments of our spare time preparing this book for you—during weekends, after school, and during vacation periods. This time we could have otherwise used to do with as we pleased. The 1968 TROJAN marks another chapter in the lives of the 250 students who helped make Clifton High a school filled with honor, tradition, friends, and memories. On the preceeding pages, we tried to capture and record the impres- sions of this year, which will be remem- bered even as this school and alma mater will be remembered. The moments, the memories, the im- pressions will be especially remembered by the seniors, the class of '68 who must now prove: Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do, as they go to lay a foundation of a future, a destiny, a world. As the pages were finished, Ray Frasquillo, editor in chief, marked them out in the Editor's Production Planning Binder. The Juniors have now become of age and eagerly take on the responsibilities and dignity of filling the shoes of those who have gone before, for now they are Seniors. The Sophomores who have now ad- justed and settled down to high school life can no longer be considered under- classmen. The Freshmen have experienced this year of first impressions. These new- comers are now being molded into some- thing gigantic, striving to find themselves and create their own identity. Now. . . the school year has come to a close, and although this YEARBOOK might not attain an All-American rating, it's still yours to treasure. Preserve it well, for time has a habit of diming the memory. In closing. I'd like to recognize the efforts of all who contributed in making possible the 1968 TROJAN. First of all, Mr. Alex Paterson and Mr. Phil Dering, who helped train members of this year's staff; Mr. Mike Mikulewicz, who helped me with the initial layouts of this book during the summer at the publications workshop; the yearbook publisher's re- production of our ideas; the faculty mem- bers for allowing members of the staff to barge in and out of class; the adver- tisers who helped finance it; and, you, too, the student body of Clifton High School, who helped make up this book, for most assuredly, YOU are this book, YOU make up the student body. And finally, a special word of thanks and appreciation to those who have been such a great help to me in this work -- Frances Garrett; John Kerrigan; Sandra Stevens; and Mr. Tom Wright. I'd also like to say Thank you to the administration for having allowed me to record this academic year at Clifton High. Ray Frasquillo-editor ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS-115
