They started fresh' in making new friends, adjusting to a new school, adjusting to new demands on school work, accepting a new grading system, and raising money through fund raisers to add to their account balance of zero. They also needed to work hard in building up their school spirit and pride through class activities. The first year is always rugged especially for the freshmen who are trying to adjust to some of thou difficult. i«juirrd classes. Other freshmen decided they wanted to take it easy but. found themselves takin it easy in O.C 5 Out of the first nine weeks of school 34% of the student body was sent to O.C.S.. of these. 7% were freshmen Vince Lozano found himself in O.C.5. and had this to say about it: It's pretty cool if the teacher is in a good mood. but. if not it's usually a long day . During Homecoming 86, Spirit Week ended with the first pep assembly of the year A competition was held to judge which class had the most spirit by a show of loud voices cheering in unison. The freshmen got a little over zealous and tried to drown out the other classes. Of the 153 member student body; 51 were freshmen. Of course they should have been the loudest1 But unfortunately the judges viewed this enthusiasm as a bit rude and the freshmen were disqualified. The freshmen were however congratulated on the fact that 13% of their class showed school spirit by dressing up for spirit week. The freshmen were asked a series of questions such as; Who is your favorite teacher, subject, song and group?” The most popular teacher was Mr Wayne; the popular subject was typing; as for the song and group, each freshmen had their own opinion of whom they liked They were also asked. What do you think of your first year in high school? Ralph Medina had this to say about it. I think it will have a big effect on the rest of my life,' Veronica Pedregon replied I love ill I'm having a great time,” and Tiffany Breshears said I think it's pretty cool. It's a lot harder. The freshmen had a tough time in the beginning, but the next time you see them they will be well adjusted sophomores.

SOPHOMORES Spouted Sophouwiei Meek and timid . . . Isn't that the way underclassmen have customarily been? This sophomore class was never quite like that, just ask their teachers. Although they were considered to be an unspirited class, they certainly proved everyone wrong when it came to cheering at pep-assemblies. One assembly in particular was the one held to promote Homecoming '86. Although they sat semi-quietly throughout the beginning of the assembly, the sophomores roared when it was their turn to cheer and shout. To everyone's surprise, they showed enough spirit to win the cheering competition at the assembly. One, unsuccessful attempt for the sophomores, though, was the float competition. Although they worked long and hard, as shown here, they just couldn't win. The sophomores have two years to go in high school and they hope to keep enthusiasm high to keep winning. For now, though, they're known as the Spirited Sophomores!

PTSA held their annual Halloween Carnival in the cafeteria, and the sophomores wanted to lend a helping hand with decorations. After the carnival, the rush was on to decorate for the dance.

Though this was a disappointment for those who did participate, with all the hard work that had to be done, it all eventually worked out to be a great year. Class president, Mario Licano, said, I wish more people would have gotten involved, instead of just standing off to the side.” To promote participation she initiated an idea to have a class trip to the State Fair for those class members who had been active. It was very interesting, and fun too. With the hope of qualifying for the trip, attendance at class meetings and activities picked up; however, only twelve were selected to go. Out of the twelve, nine people ended up going. They had a terrific time and enjoyed seeing professional wrestling while they were at the Fair. Fund raising was hard work but very rewarding. Juniors had many concessions and raffles, not to mention the spectacular dance they threw at Homecoming. The dance was very well decorated, even though most of the juniors were running around trying to put the float together. They succeeded in winning the float competition with their theme being Teachers Were Once Kids Too.” Fund raising was made easier for the juniors through a new policy enacted this year allowing the junior class to sponsor all football and volleyball concessions until a ceiling amount of $1500 profit was raised. A driving force behind 'holding down the fort” at the concession stands, Valery Garcia summed up the season by saying, 'Money-wise we did good but setting up was hard. It was harder when there was a lot of people here, and there wasn't anybody to help you work, and all the machines were broken and the smell of nacho cheese makes me sick now.” With all this money under their belts they planned on having a great prom and completing the year by reaching their goals.

Juniors 17 EEMORE Overcoming childish ways on the road to becoming responsible young adults, the members of the senior class have learned much about themselves. Realizing, as seniors, how very quickly our high school years pass by, we can now reflect on the first feelings, emotions, and relationships we experienced early in our high Gtutdxa Jo Dom U school years. For the graduating class of 1987, the freshman year was probably the most memorable of all our four years. When asked some of the feelings felt by classmates the first day of school, a lot of people replied that it was really scary. When one student was asked how she felt, she said, 1 was really looking forward to it all summer; then, when it finally came down to that day, I Clad E. Bribi Atula M. Eipuuaa regretted even being alive! So, as anyone can see, coming into high school is a big move that everyone has to face. Besides the pressures of being new high school students, our class had to face yet another challenge. In October of '83, there was a devastating flood which swept through our town and school. Our school was hit mildly, and our football field was virtually destroyed. AhmiM Gaum 18 Seniors WE LAST YEAR. . . The, Beit Yeav During clean-up, school was closed for two weeks in order to repair damages caused by the flood. After returning to school, we found that the remainder of our football and J.V. volleyball seasons had been cancelled. It was disappointing because the football team was scheduled to play our rival Morenci; but Decause of the flood, we never had the chance to play our rival game for the Copper Ingot. The freshman class of '84 also experienced a great loss; it was that of our classmate, Paul Lopez. This was a tremendous emotional FuuJde, Cxiu Ganna setback for the whole class. The morning of his funeral, the school took a day off and the entire freshman class attended the services. As freshmen, we showed ourselves to be a very active class, never shy or left out. Instead, we held our heads high and stuck out our freshman year to the fullest. We were the largest class that year, consisting of forty class members. Although the seniors of Fftiabttk Gaua '84 gave us a hard time, we still succeeded in showing great charisma. We finished the year having accomplised many goals, sticking together with mucn pride in the hopes of becoming the graduating class of 1987. (Story continued on page 24.) Lonttta Zu'toua.

(Continued from page 19) Our freshman year was one for getting laughed at, for making many mistakes, and for learning from those mistakes. Learning how tough and well prepared you must be to make it through the rest of high school, we freshmen soon discovered how much was needed to mature and to be accepted in the eyes of our peers. As our sophomore year began, many of us felt as if we had taken a step up. Not a huge step, but a step in tne right direction. Our timorous freshman behavior soon disappeared, and our class became very involved in activities, athletics, and academics. More than half of our sophomore class was involved in something, which showed tremendous spirit and enthusiasm on our part. As that school year began to pass by, our class was struck with yet another great loss. It wasn't the loss of a game, or a locker combination, but a loss of something far more important. We lost a friend, an advisor, and a fine teacher. Mr. Donald Tellez passed away on November 8, 1984. He was well liked and highly respected. Students in his classes and even those who were not, were all touched by him. He will never be forgotten, because in some way, he made an impression on each of us. Many things were accomplished in the short time which we will recall as our sophomore year, but many more things were yet to come. Many mixed feelings and emotions were stirred when our junior year began. We were no longer underclassmen who were picked on, we were juniors who were out to make our last two years ' oetter than the first two,” and to just plain get our last two years over with, stated two seniors that remember what it was like to be new upperclassmen. In the spring of our junior year, we held the annual junior-senior prom. The theme of our prom was Tender Years, and the colors were burgundy, rose, and silver. The cafeteria was decorated with streamers and balloons in our chosen colors. A hall of arcs led our guests into the cafeteria, where a running fountain greeted them. Tables were set with centerpieces and lit candles, which set a very tender mood. Students and teachers both seemingly had a good time. It is a prom which will never be forgotten. At the end of the year our class Tost a lot of long time friends. Friends that we had gone to school with for many years. In total, fifteen students moved to other schools. As many students moved, our class soon became the smallest class in the high school. At the end of the year we also lost several teachers. Four teachers and our school counselor moved to different schools. Dr. Alex Boyd, who had been school principal, since our freshmen year, also moved to a different school. As many students and teachers moved, a sense of uncertainty fell over our class. No one knew quite what to expect in the year to follow. When our senior year began many things had changed. In previous years, our class was the largest, but at the beginning of our senior year we were the smallest. Other changes included: a new principal, the start of on campus suspension, and eight man football. One major difference was that things that we had done, and took for granted before were now more important. We no longer had a second chance. This was it! After graduating, new things will be accomplished, new friends will be aquired, and a new life will begin. We will all have gone our separate ways and begun to do different things when we will look back and remember old classmates, and the special things that made them so special to us. Then, when our ten year reunion rolls around and we all begin to reminisse, we will remember the one thing that made this year the best it could be. US!!

A tef) U The Right Dutedim The Trojans ended up the 1986 football schedule with a 4 and 5 record after a new and exciting eight man season. Clifton decided to go to 8 man football from 11 man due to a shortage of a male athletes. Senior co-captain Jim Tellez summed up the season as, It was definetly a good change for this school. During the first part of the season, the players found it difficult to adapt to the new rules, but after the first game, the Trojans learned quickly. As the season rolled on, the players started playing the game as though they knew it all along. Pagk We started winning and it felt good, was the way Frank Duran felt. During the 1985 season Clifton had not won any games; therefore, when the new season began and the team started winning, it was a thrill. Tucson Christian was to be the best come back of the season for the Trojans. It was Homecoming night and the Trojans were facing a Tucson team that they had beaten previously in the season. At the end of the half Tucson was winning 30 to 20, but the Trojans were not going to give up the most important ball game of the season. The next half seemed to prove how the team Off Fo t Th Ttojm! could play with pride. We wanted to win so bad that we played like the Trojans really should play, said senior Derek Nelson. Before the game was to come to an end, we got a superb effort from junior Ralph Rodriguez as he scored 4 touch downs in the second half to bring the Trojans to a 60 to 36 win over the Patriots. The team scored 272 points to the 345 points scored by their opponents. The leading scorer Ralph Rodriguez was quoted, It was a learning experience and I'm sure we will improve next year. 26 Football Frank Duran skillfully avoiding the hungry Rebel tack-lers for a long gain. Senior Derek Nelson and freshman Vincent Lozano make the tackle on the Rebels' ball carrier while senior Jim Tellez and freshman John Garza quickly react to the scene.

Although they ended their season with a 6-2 record. Their team, consisting of six seniors and two sophomores, started out to a great season with their only two defeats taken against Thatcher and Tombstone. Although this years' team did not make it to state there was a single moment each senior will remember, ana that was the defeat of the Morenci Wildcats in a conference match after three consecutive years of defeat, making this the last time the two would meet in conference play. Next years' team will be playing in the class C, eliminating the two rivals. Even though this was the last year for the six seniors to play together as a team, Liz Garza had this to say. We did better than 1 thought we would, even though we didn't show it at districts. This years' team was coached by Miss Shirley Bishop, a first year coach, who found herself coaching with little experience in the sport of volleyball. Despite that fact, sne worked hard and had determination to do her best. At the end of the season Michelle Castaneda, setter, and Liz Garza, hitter, both four year lettermen and returning starters were selected as All Conference players. The team proved their ability and helped to bring back a winning tradition. Collectively, the six departing seniors would like to wish next years team the best of luck and to go out and prove Clifton High School is one of tne best.

Their overall conference record of 1-6 proved the Trojans didn't have a victorious season but there still were those close games which showed they had faith in themselves. This year's team was coached by Mr. Randy Perea, a first year girls' coach, but was no newcomer to the sport.

Bottom row - Chris Morales, Leonard Saiz, Ralph Rodriguez, and James McCormick. This year's varsity basketball season looked like another downhill season for the Trojans. After the dissappointing losses of the season's first three games, the players and Coach Bailey all knew that something was missing. Mr. Bailey and his players got to work at correcting their faults, and then came back to win their next two games, defeating Pima and Bowie. During December's Holiday Tournament at E.A.C., the Trojans met with discouragement again, losing in three straight match ups, one of which was with Pima, a team that they had defeated in their previous non-conference game. “It was frustrating, commented Raymond Maza. And Chris Morales added It almost felt like we didn't want to play. When the time for conference play arrived, the Trojans lost their first three league games to Thatcher, Benson, and Willcox. It seemed as though the Trojans were on a rollercoaster ride having their ups and downs, and were already looking forward to another try next year. Yet, that attitude did not stick with them for long, the team refused to give up. Instead, they came back with a strong finish against Duncan, beating them 78-56 for their first league win. Trojans were on a winning streak as they defeated Pima for their second conference win. Emotions were riding high as the Trojans faced arch-rival Morenci in a game that was long in the waiting. Ralph Rodriguez said, I didn't care if we made it to State or not, I just wanted to beat Morenci. Coach Bailey and company defeated the Wildcats handily 68-59, breaking Morenci's 10 game winning streak over Clifton, in the most electrifying home game of the season. The team's league record had improved remarkably, but their last game of the season, with Tombstone on a cold Friday the 13th, would decide their placing in the conference tournament. Once again, the Trojans pulled off an exciting win and were seated 3rd in the conference behind Thatcher and Benson. Just 11 days later, on February 24th, the Trojan faced the Yellowjackets from Tombstone in a rematch for the first round of divisional play offs. This time. Tombstone was the victor, eliminating Clifton's hope for a chance at State. Though the season had a slow start, the excitement of this basketball season was not fairly reflected in the win-loss record. Both the varsity and the J.V. teams provided the students of CHS with a feeling of pride and spirit which leaves them anxious for next year's season. WRESTLING... A Season Of Dutlnetlm ,1S IT ®wres 'n8 team was one of the most successful in recent years due to the great effort and dedication put ort y °t r the coach, Mr. Tip Schimdt, and all 10 members of the squad. Our team showed great pride and accomp is ment in each of the tournaments that they attended, as well as in the dual competitions. Gabrie Saucedo, Frankie Duran, and Omar Perez were the main source of energy in this year's team. The determination these three team members displayed was a great example of encouragements for the rest of the school. Aside from placing in the top of their weight classes in individual tournaments such as the 9th Annual Trojan Victory Classic, the Cobre Invitational, the Morenci Lion's Invitational, and the Benson Invitational, each of these wrestlers earned the title of champion at the B-C District Tournament, and each went on to do their best in representing our school at State. It was fortunate that this highly successful team did not include any seniors, therefore, each wrestler would be able to return the following year as a returning lettermen and build on their formidable career records. One wrestler who has shown fighting ability throughout his wrestling career was Frankie Duran. In his Junior year, Frankie had not been pinned in over 4 years of competition. This was quite an accomplishment. David Sanchez and Omar Perez also had very successful seasons. They fought their way to the State Tournament at Phoenix Indian High School on February 13 and 14, as did Frankie and Gabriel. David wrestled well but didn't quite make it to the finals. Omar managed to earn a third place medal and Frankie took a second. We were all very proud of these wrestlers, but the most outstanding was Gabriel Saucedo. As a junior, Gabriel had been wrestling for 8 years, including his junior high career. He became the Arizona B-C State Champion at 179 lbs. after consistently placing well in all tournaments attended by CHS this year. All Gabriel's hard work and training finally brought him the title of State Champion. Vince Lozano, Michael Chavez, Greg Kroegel, Billy Schreiner, Juan Ortiz, and Shawn Howell all made great contributions to the team effort. Each of them orked hard throughout the season, developing wrestling skills, technique, and style which would help them to achieve their goals next year. 1987 Trojan Wrestling Squad: Stand.ng - Greg Kroegel Frankie Duran Michael Chavez, Gabriel Saucedo. joseph Chavarria (manager), and Coach Tip hmidt.

SQUAD STAYS ACTIVE Four new girls became wrestler-ettes this year: Valery Garcia, Veronica Pedregon, Monica Munoz, and Cathy Buttner; they were added to the four returning squad members, captain Angie Warren, co-captain Kacey Milligan, Dawn Callicotte, and Kim Randall. Sponsor for the wrestlerettes for the fourth year was Ms. Terry Buttner. This year was a busy one for the active wrestlerettes. On November 1, 1986, the wrestlerettes attended a wrestlerette clinic in Deer Valley. There, they learned poise, cheers and met many girls from different schools. After the clinic, the girls enjoyed some leisure time at the State Fair. The 9th Annual Trojan Victory Classic, December 6, was the first wrestling match of the year. To start the season, the wrestlerettes made a breakfast for all the visiting wrestling teams to raise funds for the State Tournament. For Christmas, the wrestlerettes surprised the wrestlers by decorat-ing their lockers like a present and also left them a Christmas stocking with candy and other goodies inside their lockers. Another big plus for the wrestlerettes was getting new uniforms this year. Picking out the new sweaters was a tough job, but the girls made a good choice by selecting a distinctive design with one gold arm and one maroon and their names embroidered on the front. Wrestlerettes promoted school spirit and enthusiasm for wrestling by: cheering for the wrestlers, selling concessions at home matches, decorating wrestlers lockers, and by putting up posters in the halls. Dawn Callicotte hands a first place winner his medal and bracket during the 9th Annual Trojan Victory Classic.

Though the results of basketball, track, and baseball were yet unknown at the time of this printing, those athletes are given credit in the supplement at the end of this book. Volleyball All-Conference selections included seniors Michelle Castaneda, setter, and Liz Garza, hitter. Both girls were four year lettermen who together led the team in scoring. All-State football selections were Ralph Rodriguez, a junior at wide receiver selected as Honorable Merition, and Jim Tellez, a senior at center to the All-State Second Team. Representing Clifton High and district champions in wrestling were sophomore Omar Perez, junior Frankie Duran, and junior Gabriel Sau-cedo. These three, in addition to freshman David Sanchez, travelled to the state championships. Frankie ranked second in state competition and Omar ranked third.

Though the President's Council is comprised of all presidents from various clubs, organizations and classes, very few members have remained active throughout the year. Pictured here are those members in attendance at the December meeting: Mercy Murillo, freshmen president; Dawn Callicotte, sophomore president; Lauren Oliver, secretary of S.G.A.; Michelle Castaneda, chairman; Jim Tellez, S.G.A. president; and Madeline Pomaski, president of Med-Start. S.G.A. is the group of students selected by the student body to organize pep assemblies, dances, and other school functions that make the year more exciting for everyone. President Jim Tellez had a very successful idea for the beginning of this year: a “Back to School dance. Some students felt that not many people would show up, but they were wrong. When the doors opened and everyone stood crowded around waiting to get in, it felt great, compared to past years. Dances may have been successful, but for some reason pep assemblies didn't seem to be as popular as in past years. We asked President Jim Tellez why there had been so few pep assemblies and he replied, We concentrated on money matters this year and on coordinating school activities through the different classes and organizations. S.G.A. didn't take on a great deal of the responsibility as it has in the past. Senior Michelle Castaneda was in charge of a new committee put together for presidents of each class and school organization to meet and discuss up-coming issues in the year. Her job was to organize meetings and keep things under control. When we asked what was the neatest project the Presidents' Council had under taken, she answered, “I think the most exciting thing we did was to organize a scholarship fund in honor of Miss Tadlock. When we took a look back at this year's S.G.A. finances, we found that they had done well compared to other years. In fact, with the help of Mr. Montoya, S.G.A. came from being two thousand dollars in the hole, to being eight hundred dollars ahead by midyear. Although this was not the best year for S.G.A., it was, however, financially successful and they are determined to make it better in the future.

First year typing class provides the prerequisite for F.B.L.A. membership. New OngaHjUatioiiL lncmaie OppodiuufteA At c.hs. Two new clubs and organizations were formed this year at our high school. They were Future Homemakers of America (F.H.A.) and Future Business Leaders of America (F.B.L.A.). F.H.A. is an organization of students who have had a year of home economics. A student may also be an F.H.A. member through enrollment in a home economics class. In April 1986, three students, Sandra Hernandez, Mary Anne Bonillia, and Cheryl Estrada, attended an F.H.A. convention, along with tneir sponsor, Katherine Starcher. in order to learn more about establishing a chapter here. The three girls were each to attend a different session, while Mrs. Starcher attended a workshop of her own; with that, CHS formed the organization F.H.A. President Liz Garza and Vice-President Loretta Lujan say that they're glad to be a part of it, and hope it becomes a big success in helping others to prepare themselves for the future when tneyrre on their own. The second organization formed was the international club. Future Business Leaders of America. It was formed by Mr. Greg Wayne who sponsored the organization for three years at CTanado. The requirement needed to join F.B.L.A. is one year of typing or business. Many students met the prerequisite and were interested in forming the organization at C.H.S. On the eighth of October, a Region Four Officer Training Clinic was held in Mesa. Its purpose was to inform F.B.L.A. officers about their duties and to also help them to create a better organization. Among the members who attended were President Anna Montoya; Lauren Oliver, vice president; Cathy Buttner, treasurer; Carol DeLeon, secretary; and Mark Vaaejo, representative. F.H.A. and F.B.L.A. have given students at our high school added opportunities for growth and self improvement. It was exciting to have them both initiate their organizations in 1986. F.H.A. officers: Sandra Hernandez, treasurer, Loretta Lujan, vice-president; Bobo Herrera, representative; and Liz Garza, president. (Not pictured: Mary Anne Bonilla, secretary).

Freshman band member Mercy Murillo, stated, It's a lot of hard work and I hope it's worth it. They practiced long and hard in preparation for the upcoming home football games. The dedication paid off when they played well at the first home game. Everyone thought that they marched and played great. Another freshman band member, Laura Anderson, said, I like band a lot and especially like going on the trips. This year, they went to ASU for Band Day. They didn't participate; but, they had a chance to see all the other bands compete. Laura said, I hope that we will be able to participate at ASU next year. Anita Espinoza, a graduating band member, said The last four years have been great. She added, There is not a lot of people in band but I'm glad to be in it. In the past, band has not been a very successful elective but it looks as though it might begin to pick up in the years to come. Miss Bishop says she hopes to have more students become interested in participating in band and in showing their school spirit. 52 Band MERE WERE . . on on on FACULTY mo ADMINISTRATION FOND FAREWELL Tv Mikk TadkcJc After 40 years of dedicated service in education.

He brought enthusiasm and a new insight to the high school. He was also the driving force in promoting the new wave of school spirit prevalent throughout the high school. Among other changes Mr. Nuttall brought were: a new, enthusiastic, teacher-student relationship; the tutoring program; and the on-campus-suspension program. I have enjoyed my time at Clifton High School as principal; 1 anticipate a bright future for our school, said Mr. Nuttall. Because of what has been happening in the past years, I think the students are ready for a change.

Mr. Montoya and Mrs. Madrid showed their school support by helping with the halloween carnival. While Mrs. Madrid helped with the Cake Walk, Mr. Montoya ejemonstrated his artistic talent by painting the head of the big bad wolf. Mr. Nuttall often came up with new and creative ideas for the school newspaper and his objective opinions were a welcome insight. Several articles inspired by him appeared in the newspapers throughout the year. Mr. Montoya takes an interest in creative art.

The class which had the highest percentage of their members dress up throughout the week received the Trojan Head Award. That honor went to the seniors who had 38% of their class in the week's fashions. Not only were they dressed well, but the seniors also showed their support for homecoming by decorating their hall Thursday night fantastically. Sophomore Jane Lucero shows off an authentic poodle skirt . Modeling togas are seniors Liz Garza, Lisa Villescas, Jim Tellez, Madeline Pomaski, Angie Warren, and Loretta Lujan.

Homecoming night, October 10, was a big occasion for all those who helped prepare for the event: the floats, the dance, the half-time show, the game, and the special projects undertaken by clubs. Fans came to cheer for the Trojans, who were playing Tucson Christian. At half-time, the floats were presented after the band performed. This year's theme was, You're Not Going To Believe This, But ... The freshman float was entitled, This is Spirit Week, which featured students dressed for each day of Spirit Week. The sophomore's float was We're the Future, with kids dressed as they would be in the future. Teachers Were Once Kids, Too, was the theme of the junior's float, which included young children dressed as high school teachers. The senior's float was Seniors Catch the Wave, and, after all, since the theme of Homecoming was You're Not Going To Believe This, But ...'', who would believe a wave and a beach in Clifton? Ken Windsor and Madeline Pomaski rode the senior float to act the part of surfers. Winners of the float competition were the juniors. Presentation of the Homecoming Court followed the parade of floats, with Michelle Castaneda and Frankie Garcia as tne Homecoming Royalty. They presided as Clifton trounced Tucson-Christian 60-36. Homecoming 63 programs: AT CHS. .. On December 4 last year, a Channel 10 News team came to Clifton to film the innovations in academics that have set CHS apart from the other high schools in our state. Shown in the sequence above: (1) The news team visits Ms. Schmidt's Happy Hour as Yvette Vozza stands, center, ready to capture the occasion on film. (2) Students and teachers gather in the library to watch the videotape of the December 9 broadcast. The new 2.00 GPA requirement for graduation became effective this year with the class of '87 which put a great deal of pressure on students to make the grade . Past attitudes of CHS did not reflect a great deal of concern toward GPA's, so these new regulations presented some problems for many students. Some new programs were introduced this year to help students who were having problems with the new academic standards. Two new programs were the Tutoring Program and Happy Hour . The Tutoring Program was established in order to give students who were strong in certain areas the opportunity to help other students who were weak in those same areas. The program was monitored by Miss Tadlock who felt that the program could be a strong advantage if only more students would become involved. Happy Hour was instigated by Mr. Crinan as a time set aside after school in his own classroom for special individualized instruction. Most CHS teachers followed his lead and began to stay after school to work with their students also. Each of these two programs has helped not only to produce better grades, but has gone a long way to defeat student apathy about school, grades, and their future education. (3) Kathy Pomaski is seen on T.V.! 64 New Programs A Step U The, Riglifr Duw m After school, Anna Montoya studies in Mr. Ouzts' class. Pride in student accomplishments is reflected on the bulletin board by the principal's office, which displays top GPA's. Along with the new administration, two other programs were initiated this year at the high school: OCS and the GATE Program. On Campus Suspension is a program supervised by Mr. Lovett who runs a tight ship over those students who have been assigned to serve 1, 2, 3, or more days in OCS. The program was originally designed to keep students in school in a learning environment opposed to sending them home where their suspension would ultimately cause them to fall behind in their school work. The GATE Program (Gifted And Talented Enrichment) is a special class on Monday nights taught by Miss Susan Breen. The program was originally initiated by Mr. Nuttall, Mr. Montoya, and Miss Mooney. The student GATE members include: Andrea Guzzo, Anna Montoya, Chris Morales, Lauren Oliver, Jim Tellez, and Angie Warren. These students w'-re offered the opportunity to take a college English course and receive credit for it at both the college level and the high school level. All of the new programs have established great improvements in the outlook of both CHS students and teachers. They have worked together to gain a better outlook on education as well as develop a special relationship which will have a lasting effect on us all. English 101 students take their final exam after a semester of English 101. Pictured are: Lisa Villescas, Lauren Oliver, and Anna Montoya. New Programs 65 FAST TIMCS-UOT CARS The students of CHS got to school this year in one of three ways: either they walked, they were brought, or they drove their own cars. Pictured above are some of the most memorable cars of '87, all of which belonged to seniors. Among them are: Kacey Milligan's '55 Ford truck, Kenny Powell's '67 Ford Mustang, Yvette Vozza's '72 Jeep, and Sandra Davis' '77 Monte Carlo. Of course, this is just a small sampling of the vehicles commonly seen in the parking lot each day. Others included: the Tellez Datsun, John Adams' Volkswagen, Bubba Sharp's Honda Motorcycle, Andrew Willcut's Chevy, Gabriel Sucedo's Nova, and a host of others. Aftm-fJoiM High school students don't spend all their time in classrooms. After all, there's lunchtime and time after school. At lunch, students could usually be found in the cafeteria, out at the picnic tables, at Maud's, or at the gym. Opening the gym at noon was a new idea brought in by Mr. Nuttall this year to give students a chance for some fun in between morning and afternoon classes. After school, there was always Berta's Place, Cole's, and ''kicking back at the bridge. TOP: Shelley Garcia, Sandra Hernandez, and Mario Licano pick up lunch at Maud's. BOTTOM.

Throughout the years that are spent in high school, many long-lasting bonds of friendship are formed; bonds with classmates, with fellow athletes, with members of a certain club, or with that special someone that seems to spark some kind of magic every time you look into their eyes. Sharing high school years with a friend will some day be looked back on as the highlight in most peoples' lives. Though our student body was ever decreasing this year, most everyone found a bond of friendship somewhere, someone to share the goods times as well as the bad. It was hard to pick the few pictures of friends that appear on this page - there were so many: Mercy and Veronica, Billy and Jeff, Jessica and Shelly, James and Jeremy, Cathy and Monica, Kathy and Becca . . . Friends are lucky; friendships last a lifetime. SCHOOL LfFE School Life 67 MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS WERE ASKED TO WRITE WHAT THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE DOING IN TEN YEARS.

Not pictured: Daphne Aguilera and Chad Bates. As kindergartners, the class of '87 never really thought about graduation; it always seemed too far away to imagine. Graduation time had come, and one question stood out in our minds: Where do we go from here? . Several seniors thought about college while others thought about work. Everyone had their own idea about what their lives would be like after graduation, but no one could say for sure what would really happen. Most graduates take for granted that they'll always get to see their classmates, but often that is not the case. As time and distance separate even the closest of friends, it gets harder to hang on to the precious memories of the 12-year journey toward graduation. For this reason, we present one last look at the class of '87 from beginning to end .

Pequw’jtftdi Cluuuji Attihulu The academics at Clifton High School showed improvement due to the combined efforts of the students and teachers. The administration may have given students the challenge of maintaining a 2.0 grade point average for graduation, but ultimately it was the response of the students that allowed for progress toward a respectable academic program. Students and teachers chose to recognize and overcome obstacles that were standing in the way of their receiving a quality education. They took tne responsibility upon themselves to raise their level of accountability, realizing that success was within their reach, but that their efforts were the determining factor.
