This year was so special because, as seniors we will have accomplished a long fought goal, GRADUATION!!!” Janet Provencio Senior President I liked most about this year knowing I only have two more years of school.” Bobo Herrera Junior President “This year was special because we had more responsibilities and we knew what to expect from our other classmates.” Cathy Buttner Sophomore President 'Phis year, more than ever before, there had been a certain unity and “camaraderie” among the students and staff. Participation in school functions has been excellent, and an attitude of confidence and optimism has permeated the school.” Lauren Oliver SGA President CLASS ACT Nothing Will Ever Be The Same Nothing will ever be the same for the students of Clifton High School. They have experienced many changes in their years from adjusting to a new principal, new rules, winning and losing seasons, and making the best of good and bad times. But the students at Clifton High School have always proven to be a CLASS ACT. This CLASS ACT has come from Out of the Blue more than ever this year. You can tell by looking through this book the pride the students took in their classes, sports, and clubs organizations. It was also shown in their participation in pep assemblies, Homecoming, Spirit Week, Field Day and from day to day activities, making this one of best years ever! The Trojan '88 yearbook staff would like to present a CLASS ACT from It's A Matter Of Taste From Out Of The BLUE Throughout the year, many popular styles and fashions roamed the halls of CHS. Among these were the different hair styles and clothing techniques. The different styles included: spiked hair, curly hair, and late for school hair. The clothing fashions this year ranged from the already popular “Levis” to the incoming styles of the stonewashed jeans, shirts, and jackets. Students dressed themselves up in everything from their customized T-shirts to their suspendor pants and their dresses. Adding the finishing touches to their outfits were the banana combs, bandanas, hair clips, hair combs, big earrings, gold necklaces, colorful watches, gold bracelets, and large selections of belts. While roaming up and down the halls day after day, from class to class your shoes get a lot of miles racked up on them. Popular shoes this year ranged from the tennis shoe to the spiked heel pumps brought back from the early 60’s. Reebok, Nike, Pony, Converse, and L.A. Gear were among the popular tennis shoes worn by students. Colorful flats, pumps, and sandals, were the “in” dress shoes for the girls, while loafers and Pee Wee Herman shoes (no offense guys) were the “in” shoes for the guys. Students rocked and rolled this year to many “Hold your breath!” says Tricia Ortega as Robert Mendoza. Manuel Perea, Katrina Serna, and Mark Decker stand by as Tricia takes another shot of hair spray to hold up that wild hair style. popular groups and singers. Among the most popular groups were Bon Jovi, Poison, Cinderella, Motley Crue, Europe, and Whitesnake. Slowing down the pace just a little, many students enjoyed dancing to the great beat of Expose, Lisa Lisa, Covergirls, Surface, and L.L. Cool J. The most popular pet this year, and certainly the most widely publicized animal was, of course, the pit bull. Many students owned one or more and were very proud to be a pit bull owner. How will we remember ’87-’88? We will remember the Reebok, stonewashed jeans, hair styles, and the music we played; but we will most surely recall “THE” Mackenzie dog on all the T-shirts, jackets, hats and stickers. Leonard Saiz, Shelly Garcia, David Mena. Alex Avila, and Patti Constant show off their boxers, not to mention their “sexy” legs! Sunglasses and swatches huddle up to style their stuff!

School Hours More Than Academics There was more to do during school hours than just academics: there were field trips, pep assemblies, and just plain relaxing between classes. People enjoyed leaning against the walls of the halls and talking with friends between classes. You went to class to learn, but things like pep assemblies, field trips and special projects helped to make school life more exciting. “Pep assemblies really help a lot because they get you up for the game,” was junior Michael Aguallo’s comment. Alicia Pacheco said, “At my ‘Dress for Success’ workshop (in F.H.A.), I got a lot of pointers on how to act at job interviews.” There was a lot going on at school .. . more than just academics. Alicia Pacheco adjusts her make-up before class. After a brief dinner on the way to Mesa, F.B.L.A. members David Sanchez, Cathy Buttner, Ralph Medina, and Anna Montoya travel on to “Officers’ Training Chapter” to learn about their positions in the club.

REALLY KICKIN’ BACK, Ana Saucedo, Laura Anderson, Amy Hernandez, Jodie Rodriquez, Lori Saiz, Cathy Buttner, Monica Munoz, Veronica Pedregon, and Mercy Murillo, talking and practicing cheers in the sophomore hall. Students Get A Break Kickin' Back At Lunch As the 11:55 lunch bell rang, there were sighs of relief throughout the school. Students were ready for the forty-five minute break between classes. Some of the students chose to leave the campus for lunch. Jane Lucero said, “I go to Cole’s,” when questioned about her lunch period. Other lunch spots included Maude’s, Circle K, PJ’s, RoNell’s, and Mary’s Place. Others decided to stay at school and socialize with their peers. Brian Cueto commented, “I just eat and sit in the hall at lunch.” The halls were usually buzzing with the sounds of students chatting about everything from their love lives to their classes. “I go down the alley,” was what Ralph Pacheco had to say about his lunch hours. Many students went to the alley adjacent to the school to escape the discipline on the school ground. Lunch was a good time for people to get a break from the monotony of the school day. AFTER HOURS Going Home? Not Likely! After school, what a time! People rushed to their lockers and out the door just to get out of the routine of school. Yet, to some students the ringing of the bell that signaled school was officially out was just a part of a student’s day to day schedule. Many students were continuously occupied with extracurricular school related events, such as club meetings, class meetings, committee meetings, sports practices, band practices, cheerleading practices, wrest.lerette practices, etc. Katrina Serna was asked what she thought about going to practice instead of going home, “Well I really don’t get to watch my favorite T.V. shows but it’s worth it because I really like helping the girls”. Although extracurricular events were a main issue for some students, others were detained from leaving school for after school help, tutoring, finishing unfinished work, meeting publication deadlines, and even for detention. Toni Peru said however, “I think after school help is great. It gives you a chance to get the troubles you are having cleared away and will take off some of the load of homework you will be taking home”. All in all, after school wasn’t just for going home, but wouldn’t it have been nice? Escaping the routine of school, Clifton High School students hitch a ride on the Loma Linda Verde Lee bus home. Working up a sweat cheerleaders, JoAnn Chavarria, and Elizabeth Enriquez practice for upcoming games. Lending a helping hand tutor Tonja Sandoval helps Tricia Sanchez, and Brandy McCormick in algebra. Teachers work after hours too! Mr. Wayne was a familiar sight as he DJed many high school dances. AFTER HOURS Is It Really Your Time? As school let out, meetings adjourned, and practices were over, the students had “after hours” to cope with. Darkness arrived but what was there to do? Adjustments had not been a problem for our students. After hours, students went for walks, hung around with friends, sat at the park, had “get together” parties, went to the Morenci Theatre, the bowling alley, drove around town, or just stayed home resting for the day to come. “I go to Morenci to see what’s going on up there, and if not I stay home and fight with my brothers” was what Kris Chavez did “after hours”. On the other hand, Melanie Armijo commented, “I go to the Circle K and sit across at the little park everyday with Jennifer Montoya, but on weekends I cruise Morenci, go to the theatre, and walk around with Tiff Breshears.” Yet, how much of a student’s time is actually spent for what they wanted to do? For some students “after hours” wasn’t just spent on leasure time. A majority of time was actually spent on school related matters. “I study for upcoming tests, and do my home work,” was Mercy Murillo’s reply. Lisa Romero however said, “Time after time I go home and practice flag routines with my broom.” Still, some students worked part-time jobs “after hours”. Kim Randall remarked, “I go to work part-time, working five days which I choose in a two week period”. Again, was “after hours” really fun and games? On a warm Friday night, September 11th a bus load of eager football fans journey to Patagonia to cheer for their favorite team. Enjoying each others company are Shelly Garcia and Joe Garcia at the picnic table. The “Seniors of Oz”: Anna Montoya, Gerard Nelson, Leonard Saiz, Frankie Duran, and Billy Schreiner.

SHOWING SPIRIT DURING SPIRIT WEEK Spirit Week, which was held from October 26th through October 30th, was a big success for CHS students, but especially for the seniors, who won most of the competitions. Spirit Week was kicked off Monday with “Toga” Day, followed by “Cultural” Day on Tuesday, then “Hawaiian” Day on Wednesday, “Come as your Worst Nightmare” Day on Thursday, and “Maroon and Gold” Day on Friday. The seniors showed the most spirit by having the highest percentage of class members participating. Winning the hall decoration contest, with blue, silver, and white streamers, were the seniors, which also won the skit competition with their reenactment of The Wizard of Oz. calling their skit “The Seniors of Oz”.

A ROYAL OCCASION HOMECOMING '87 CHS’s 1987 Homecoming was a very exciting time, especially for Frankie Duran and Anna Montoya. Frankie Duran was crowned this year’s Homecoming King by last year’s king, Frank Garcia. “I was really surprised that I won.” The other guys were really well known and it was an honor to be crowned. It was a feeling I will never forget,” said Frankie. Being crowned by last year’s queen Michelle Casteneda was Anna Montoya. Expressing her feelings she commented, “I was really surprised.” Also on Homecoming night the floats were judged. With an outstanding float and the theme “Tame the Panthers”, the Sophomores won the best float. This year’s Homecoming theme was “Close Encounters of the Trojan Kind.” The CHS football team played a fabulous game Homecoming night by beating Bowie San Simon, 62-41.

Trick Or Treat At The Halloween Carnival The 31st of October saw the seniors and sophomores joined together with other CHS students and faculty in supporting the annual PTSA Halloween carnival, which has been a service to our community since the flood of 1983. The sophomores got into the spirit of the occasion by selling carmel apples; this was not only service oriented, but also helped them to earn money for their treasury. This year’s carnival was held in the gym on a cold and rainy Saturday afternoon where the seniors took over the wrestling room, transforming it into the Spook House. The inclement weather thwarted the efforts of the juniors, who had wanted to sell helium balloons, and the C-Club, who had been in charge of the dunk tank; but students and club members alike showed up anyway to lend a helping hand. Parents, teachers, administrators, and students all worked together to provide a fun, safe Halloween for everyone. Wrestling and track coach, Mr. Tip Schmidt tries to look scary in the “Jason” mask.

CHS HOLLERS HO HO HO Christmas Season at CHS was a very joyous time, during which there were many activities. For instance, SGA worked on the food drive and with some help from the student body there were over one-hundred cans given to needy families. As the Christmas Spirit roamed the halls at CHS we saw a lot of Christmas cheer as Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and of course the Freshmen decorated their halls to make CHS look a little bit brighter for the Christmas Holiday. As for the teachers, even they got into the Christmas spirit by helping us enjoy our parties and of course getting just as excited as we did about the Christmas vacation that was soon to be arriving. Another activity in which the teachers participated was the assembly sponsored by SGA in which the teachers presented a skit for the first time in four years. So Last year’s Christmas Holiday will be remembered as one of the most exciting times at CHS that the students of CHS helped bring about.

CLASSIC FRIEND TEACHER “Simply someone who is fun to be with.” “My idea of a classic friend is some one who is there when you need them and is honest with you and does not lie and does not talk behind your back.” “A friend who you can trust, to tell your deepest secrets and intermost thoughts. A friend who does not always get on your nerves. A friend who likes to do the same things as you.” Lisa Romero FRESHMEN David Alva Kristy Andozola Manuel Arguellez Alex Avila Yvette Baca Stacy Bates Robert Hernandez Frank Johnston Feliz Maza Brandy McCormick Frank Medina Stephanie Melendez David Mena Michelle Mendoza Jennifer Montoya Leland Oliver Lisa Ortiz Manny Perea Dale Bunnell Angela Cisneros Jason Cole Patti Constant Robert DeLeon Steven Dominguez Michelle Dozier Elizabeth Enriquez Michael Espinoza David Esquivel Tony Fernandez James Gonzalez “A teacher that has a good personality, keeps the class under control, can teach the material well and a teacher that can get the information through to the student.” Michael Espinoza “A teacher that is willing to make the class fun while we learn too. A teacher should have control of the students, and be able to help.” “Looks Good! Teaches us what we want to know and let us do what we want.” Cory Rodriguez Jason Rodriguez Jerry Romero Lisa Romero Jason Roybal Tricia Sanchez Dodie Valencia Irene Vidales Not pictured: Peter Cuevas Dcbbir Yi;le-i.is CLASSIC HANG OUT Irene Alva Laura Anderson Melanie Armijo Rachael Bates Michael Breshears Tiffany Breshears Cathy Buttner Marihel Chacon Marisol Chacon JoAnn Chavarria Kris Chavez Carl Cruz Raymond Cruz Benny Diaz Rose Duran Robert Franco Tara Garcia John Garza SOPHOMORES Albert Granillo Cameron Guillory Amy Hernandez Denise Hernandez Cathy Jaramillo Brandy Johnston Richard Llamas Berta Lopez Arthur Martinez Joe Maza Ralph Medina Robert Mendoza Felix Merino Tony Miller Monica Munoz Mercy Murillo Veronica Pedregon Vickie Perez Michael Aguallo Dawn Callicotte Jacob Castaneda Michael Chavez Melissa Cisneros Rob Cisneros Kimberly Constant Brian Cueto Melissa Diaz Melanie Duran Brandy Garcia Joe Garcia Tina Garcia Jessica Gonzalez Stan Graf Michelle Gutierrez Andrea Guzzo Jenna Hernandez Bobo Herrera Mark James Janet Lucero James McCormick Becky Mendoza Alicia Pacheco JUNIORS SHOW PRIDE Left: Juniors not only prepare for the prom but they also enjoy taking pride in their class.

A wide range of experiences were among them, and many will always remember each one and that unwanted feeling. Here are some of those moments the seniors would like to share and remember: Mario Licano - “New Year’s Eve 1986, I was at a friend’s house. While finally reaching the top of thirteen stairs I fell back, rolled down and landed on my face. Over me was Tricia laughing as hard as she could with me laying in a corner.” Mitzi Aguilar - “When I was talking to Michael one day when behind me two guys tackled me. I was on his lap shortly afterward!” Tricia Ortega - “My most embarrassing moment was when, I walked in on a guy changing after our first basketball scrimmage.” Anonymous - “I was a freshman I bought a pair of white pants that zipped in the back. I was on my way to class when I felt a cool breeze. Later, I discovered my zipper was broken and I was parading my bare neccesities.” Frances Glosser - “I was a freshman I was in a hurry to use the restroom in an attempt to get out before my seniors came in. The restroom door seemed jammed so I crawled underneath the stall where a teacher was. I ended up with detention.” Carol DeLeon - “One of my most embarrassing moments was when I was sitting in a chair after the J.V. basketball team got finished playing Safford. Safford was getting ready to leave. Raymond and Leonard picked me up with the chair. They took me outside and held me there until the Safford bus left, then they dropped me.” Hopefully all will have laughs reading this survey. CHS seniors will look back and remember the good times and the funny times. Without a doubt it difficult to forget! is Patricia Ann Ortega Toni Lorraine Peru Ralph “Wedo” Rodriguez Juan A. Ortiz Michael A. Pomaski Guillermo Rodriguez Michelle Eileen Padilla Janet “Jay” Provencio Bobby Joe Perez John Rodriguez I fell asleep in 5th hour and didn’t wake up until after school.

Everyone During a bon fire I thought I was grabbing Robert Franco, later I I realized it wasn’t Robert but Valery. Classic Goof I was sitting at my desk one day miserable from a cold. I blew my nose and without thinking I threw the kleenex away. Later when I got home I discovered a piece of kleenex plastered on my cheek. Leonard M.

Seniors Classic Bloppers When 1 came back from PE it was raining. My shoes were wet and I wiped out in the middle of “Honor Hall”! Johnny Adams I tried to cut my own hair! Bobby Joe Perez I tripped trying to get to my classroom and I flunked Mr. Baileys class. John Rodriguez The day I woke up late for school and rushed out the door and realized that I was buck naked in 30 degree weather. Boy, I won’t forget that. Billy Schreiner I was running after Mary Del gado and I slipped on a piece of paper in the senior hall. I fell on my Michelle Garcia I was trying to accomplish unfinished work during office aid when I forgot that you’re suppose to walk through doors and not through the frame work.

Keeps In Beat With School Activities The CHS Spirit Band, playing in New Mexico’s Tournament of Bands. The CHS “Spirit Band, which was responsible for promoting spirit and keeping the audiences entertained at school functions, was involved in many activities in the 1987-88 school year. For example, during marching season, the band competed in two competitions, which were held at Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher and at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. At EAC, they were given the rating of excellent and at NMSU the rating of “fair . The competition in New Mexico was rough, but the Spirit Band held their own. There was also an all junior honor band held by the University of Arizona at Tucson. Those who attended to represent Clifton were Andrea Guzzo, who plays the saxophone, and Drum Major Dawn Callicotte, who plays the clarinet. The spirited band also performed at most pep-assemblies, football and basketball games. This young group of musicians is made up of 27 members (junior high and high school combined), a band aide, who is Mario Licano, and is under the direction of Shirley Bishop.

Band members marched through the halls playing Maroon and Gold during Homecoming week. C-Club was for any student that was involved in any extracurricular activity, whether it be academics or sports related. Seeking scholarship opportunities for students was the main purpose of C-Club. This year the theme for C-Club was “Work for Yourself’. “C-Club is also to help students who help themselves,” was the answer Mr. Lovett gave when asked what another reason for this club was. C-Club members were President-James McCormick, Vice President-Michael Aguallo, Secretary Treasurer-Raymond Maza, Dawn Callicotte, Lauren Oliver, Michael Chavez, Anna Montoya, Ralph Rodriguez, Kathy Pomaski, Michael Bresheares, Frances Glosser, and Frankie Duran. When the ’87-’88 school year started the students had to pick classes for the year, some of the students picked Publications because they couldn’t find any other class to take that hour, and they thought that the class would be easy and would get an easy “A”. Some didn’t take it seriously when Ms. Schmidt started talking about the different obstacles that would happen during the course. When the deadlines finally arrived one by one, the students finally realized that what she had said happened. Every one was running around trying to write body copy, develop pictures and The hardest part of being an editor is when the deadlines are due. Carol DeLeon think up captions for those pictures. Students felt stress and pressure when staying late nights, trying to get their layouts finished before the deadline. Along with stress and pressure as well as the dedication of time the students put in this book, there were the rewards. The TROJAN ’87 yearbook staff received the Pica Award for meeting every deadline on time. The TROJAN ’88 yearbook staff also tried very hard to keep the TROJAN yearbook a award winning yearbook.

Tonja Sandoval Every Friday, CHS students looked forward to the school’s newsletter, a newsletter which was brought about by the interest of the student body. The newsletter almost didn’t exist as a result of the newspaper from the previous year. With compromising, a new kind of paper was developed, not a newspaper, but a Newsletter. Issues concerning student life were covered; academics, extracurricular activities, and interest imputs. The newsletter took dedication, effort, hard work and determination by the “Insight” staff. Its purpose was to inform CHS students about certain activities, and the things happening in and out of school. The small group of 14 staff members work hard to bring pride back in to the school.

ED START AND HONOR SOCIETY Expand Their Horizons On November 13, 1987, members of Honor Society and Med Start attended Grand Canyon College for their annual field trip. The groups made it to the college in time to hear a lecture on AIDS, after which they visited various parts of the college. After lunch the group attended a class on human cadavers where they actually got a first hand look at some major body organs. They also had the opportunity to watch an operation on rats and some members watched the disection of a squid. Med Start members: Dawn Callicotte, Kathy Pomaski, James McCormick, John Adams, Bubba Sharp, Melissa Diaz, and Jane Lucero. Clubs In Action Several clubs and organizations were active at CHS this year besides the ones previously mentioned in this book but to a much lesser degree. These clubs and organizations included: CAP, the Knowledge Bowls, and the Mock Trial. Students who wanted to get a head start in the military joined CAP. CAP is an auxilary of the U.S. Air Force and is again being sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Outz. Members this year were Seniors John Adams and Frances Glosser. Students got to meet new people and gain some valuable experience at the Knowledge Bowls. This years team members were: Lauren Oliver, Guillermo Rodriguez, Chris Morales, Anna Montoya, and Anna Saucedo. Anyone who wanted to Find out about the judicial system or was interested in law signed up for participation in the Mock Trial. Those who signed up this year were: Anna Montoya, Dennis B. Sharp, Lauren Oliver, John Adams, Andrea Guzzo, and Kathy Pomaski. This activity was sponsored by CHS teachers Debi Schmidt and Jill Glawe.

Each Junior Rotarian was honored by sitting in on the meetings and luncheons of the Rotary (a community service organization) every Wednesday within the month he or she was honored. Rotarians for the 1987-88 school year were: September-Janet Provencio, Octover-Rhonda Herrera, November-Dawn Callicotte, December-James McCormick, and January-Andrea Guzzo. Rotarians chosen after the yearbook deadline will be featured in the supplement. Top: Among the Junior Rotarians chosen are senior Janet Provencio and junior Andrea Guzzo.

Fights To Finish Throughout the season this year’s volleyball teams faced many challenges, one of the most difficult being the fact that the team had never before competed in the C South Conference. This meant that the teams did not know what to expect from their opponents. Although very nervous about their games, they managed to overcome the challenges and finish with a good record. During the season, the J.V. and varsity tried something new by practicing together instead of P the way in the previous years of practicing separately. This, of course, had its good and bad points. One of the positive points was that the team had a very strong unity throughout the season. The down side was that it was hard for the varsity to advance the talent already shown in previous, experienced years. This year, varsity team member senior Toni Peru and junior Kathy Pomaski were selected for all conference teams. Kathy made the first team and Toni made the second. Selected for all tournament team was sophomore Berta Lopez. Captains this year for the varsity team were senior Mario Licano and junior Kathy Pomaski; for J.V. sophomore Veronica Pedregon and freshman Alex Avila. Although this year’s season was a struggle for both J.V. and varsity, they managed to get themselves together and pull through with stride. VARSITY SCOREBOARD CLIFTON VS. SAFFORD' FT. THOMAS FT.

The 1987 football season started with high spirits; however, these spirits soon dwindled. 1987 was the first year with Clifton played in the C-South League, and considering the inexperience of the team it wasn’t a complete loss. The season was a losing one, but the players made tremendous achievements. Although the Trojans only won three games they were not an easy victory for the opposing teams. As Coach Hemphill put it, “We’re still in the learning stages of 8-man competition. Next season, we hope to have the bugs out.” The team had many outstanding players including Omar Perez and Michael Chavez who were chosen for the 1st All-Conference Team. James McCormick, Tony Fernandez, Raymond Maza, Frankie Duran, and Gabriel Saucedo were chosen for the 2nd All-Conference Team. It was the extra effort from these and more players that made CHS a tough Varsity Football Team: Toni Peru (statistitian), Carl Cruz, Tony Fernandez, Juan Ortiz, Raymond Cruz, David Alva, Billy Schreiner, Michael Breshears, Jeff Tellez, Omar Perez, Jason Rodriguez, Cory Rodriguez.

All of the wrestlers put a great deal of effort into the ’87-’88 season, and they look forward to an outstanding season in ’89 with many of the wrestlers returning.

Wrestlerettes gave the wrestlers an added incentive to win. They increased the momentum of a wrestler when he was in control and made them give a little extra effort when they were in trouble. The wrestlerettes raised the wrestlers’ confidence by giving them support and doing little encouraging things for them. Wrestlerettes made the matches tremendously exciting by pounding on the floor and increasing the noise level in the gym. The crowd would get really loud when a wrestler made a good move, but you could still hear the pounding of the Demonstrating their cheer at a pep assembly are Patti Constant, Mercy Murillo, Lisa Ortiz, Tricia Sanchez, Veronica Pedregon, Dawn Calicotte, and Kim Randall.

Left: For every trip, there is always the trip home. Some of the most exciting parts about school were the out of town trips, and 1987-88 was no accep-tion. The bus ride was a large part of the fun. Since Clifton was in the C-South League, many of the rides were two or three hours long. All of the bus trips were fun as Jenna Hernandez explains, “I really don’t have one specific “best” bus trip, but I really enjoyed all of our volleyball trips. I also had fun going on basketball trips with the guys, but then who wouldn’t enjoy it, right?!” Some people did have favorite bus trips that stood out in their minds. Senior Tricia Ortega recalled a trip from her freshmen year, “The best time I had on a bus trip was when I was a freshmen and we had a crazy initiation. The seniors made us eat a doughnut in five seconds, everyone was counting down while I shoved a chocolate covered doughnut down my throat.” Another one of the “best” trips was the Benson Invitational where Tricia Sanchez, Brandy McCormick and Dawn Callieotte all agreed that being with friends was the best part, since it was an all day event. It will be hard to remember the bumpy rides, being cramped in a seat, and hearing two stereos at once; yet the memories of the “best” trip will never be forgotten.

(Ha, Ha) Don’t worry girls we’ll find out if John really got embarrassed or not! You know what I mean, and so do you John! As for you John, you crack me up too! Micheal, all I can say is where’s Curtis? (Ha, Ha) Blaine, all I can tell you is, “SHUT UP”! (Ha, Ha) Mitzi what can I say but where’s the clip art book! (you know what I mean I think!) Carol, one of these days I’m really gonna strangle you! Ha! And Mrs. Schmidt, all I can say is thank God it’s over, and thank God neither you or me will ever have to do it again! Mario Licano As I looked back on the making of this yearbook I remember the hardships: the late nights the deadlines and just how hard it was to write a story. Writing a story was expecially hard since Mrs. Schmidt wouldn’t let just any story in — it had to be “A” material. But other than that, yearbook was pretty fun and educational. Blaine Tredway I thought yearbook would be a kick-back class. I thought I would go in there and I’d just relax and maybe do a little bit of work. I was wrong! The first day we really didn’t do anything but after that it was a lot of work. We had to do the newspaper and yearbook. It was difficult sometimes because every week you had to have an assignment for newspaper and on top of that we had to have ideas for yearbook. We all work together and try to help each other with different ideas. I hope this year’s yearbook is one of the best because we all put a lot of long hours and hard work into it. There are a few things I will always remember about certain people in yearbook. Mercy - help me do my articles. Tonja - Think of something for my layout. John - “I don’t give a rats ___!” Blaine and Micheal - how’s Curtis? Carol - Yes, I’ll help you. Mario - Ha, Ha, Ha! Tricia - “OH MY GOD!” and Mrs. Schmidt - I’m going crazy! Thanks for everything, it was worth it! Veronica Pedregon Being editor of a yearbook or anything is no easy job as I found out. But this year’s staff made it a little bit easier and a whole lot of fun. So Veronica - I’m not bored. Mercy - Yes, I have a pencil. Blaine - Hctor! Michael -Leave me alone! John -“SHUT UP!’’ Mitzi -Where’s the clip art book! Tonja - Yes, I’ll help type and print out your story. Tricia -“OH MY GOD!” Mario - I can just strangle you too! Mrs. Schmidt - “IT’S FINALLY FINISHED” so I just want to tell you thanks for everything, and that you’ve been the best adviser we’ll ever have, and I will never forget those late nights.

It could have been that they just didn’t care., Maybe an experience had occured when you opened your locker and everything began to fall out. Some people even had stuff that was unbelievable. You could call their locker a “garbage” instead. The time to have cleaned your locker was when you really couldn’t find anything or you heard a strange noise. Most everyone replied “I don’t know” when asked why they had such a messy locker. Tonja Sandoval said “I keep all my graded papers and I don’t have anywhere to put them, so in my locker they go. With all the books I have, it doesn’t help. I’m always in a hurry so I just get what I need and forget the rest. Above: Denise Hernandez displays what a mess can really be. Right: Leonard Saiz, laughed about the mess he had to go through to get a book from his locker. Denise Hernandez replied, “I think Katrina has the messiest locker because she hates throwing stuff away She is the kind of person who can’t part with things”, when asked who she thought had the messiest locker. There are so many reasons why people have messy lockers. Here are some you can remember. 86 Almost everyone has had one of those days when the alarm didn’t go off, your blow dryer went on the blink, and you just couldn’t find anything to wear. Then you had to go to school with the “get up and go” look. As soon as you got to school you rushed to the restroom hoping to do something to improve yourself. Nothing seemed to be working. The five minute bell rang and you frantically tried to do anything, just so you didn’t have to face the rest of the day with the “get up and go” look. A wrestlerette explained the feeling of having to get up and go. “I got up fifteen minutes before we left, got dressed, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and I was out the door. I slept until we got there. When we arrived, I went straight to the restroom to curl my hair and put on my makeup. I still felt scummed out the whole day.” We’ve all had to face up to one of those days. Some will just be more remembered than others. Top: Vickie Perez rushes to class with the “get up and go” look.

Americas Leading Copper Producer Supporting Education In Arizona For Over 100 Years GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES TO THE GRADUATES OF 1988! When asked what friendship was, both Jacob Castaneda and Brian Cueto pointed it out. Sitting against the wall, Michael Aguallo, Brian Williams, Michael Breshears, and Josef Maza prove the saying “friendship is togetherness”. Best friends Michelle Padilla and Shana Brinkley demonstrate what friendship means to them. FRIENDS At Clifton High School, friendship played an important role for many students. “Friend” or “friendship” as defined in a dictionary is a person who knows or likes another, yet the CHS students’ version was much more realistic: Friends Mark Decker and John Constant: Mark- “I can relate to John more than anyone else around here. We like to do a lot of the same things. But we still have our big differences”. John-“Mark and I never get mad at each cither and our interests are similar. However, there are some things that we disagree on. Also, Mark’s easy to pick up with”. Friends Tricia Ortega and Mario Licano: Mario- “I think the reason Tricia is my best friend is because she really knows how to listen, when I need someone to talk to. She’s there when I need her”. Tricia- “Mario and I are best friends because we’re the only two who can really tolerate each other and have a great time together. We always have something to talk about, there’s never a dull moment and she also seems to be there when I need to talk or a shoulder to cry on”. Friends Mercy Murillo and Veronica Pedrogan: Mercy- “We have been friends for seven years straight We just know each other so well, half the time we know what each of us are thinking without saying a word. Our friendship is based on good times. We have fun with each other and do stupid things just to make each other laugh”. Veronica- Mercy’s friendship to me I guess is loyalty (like you can tell your friend anything and they won’t tell anyone else). She also understands my problems and tries to help me work them out. Most, of all she is a lot of fun What a Big Deal to he with”. Friends Carol DeLeon andValery Garcia: Carol- “I am good friends with Val because we know each other so well and we have a lot of things in common”. Valery- “The main thing that combines our friendship is trust. We know that we can talk to each other about anything, and neither of us would tell anyone else. That is what makes our friendship so strong”. There are many friendships at CHS: Brian Williams and Michael Aguallo; Laura Anderson and Patti Constant; Mercy Murillo and Veronica Pedrogan; Denise Hernandez and Katrina Serna; Berta Lopez and Tammy Powel; David Sanchez and Ralph Medina; Mandy Romero and Ana Saucedo; Jeremy Sandoval, David Mena, Jacob Castaneda, James McCormick, and Omar Perez; Jane Lucero, Melissa Diaz and Judy Sam; Dawn Callicotte and Kathy Pomaski, Carol Del eon and Valery Garcia; Leonard Saiz and Raymond Maza; Bill Schreiner, Ralph Rodriguez and Frankie Duran; Michelle Padilla and Shana Brinkley; Tonja Sandoval, Mary Anne Bonilla, Lauren Oliver, Janet Provencio, and Valery Garcia; Brandy McCormick and Tricia Sanchez; Jennifer Montoya, Michelle Mendoza, and Elizabeth Enriquez; Ben Villescas, John Rodriguez, Mitch Thomas, Peter Cuevas, and Joe Garcia; Lauren Oliver and Anna Montoya; Mary Delgado and Michelle Garcia. There are still many more friendships at CHS which proves that going through school with friends makes school worthwhile and more enjoyable to attend. Brothers And Sisters In The Same School Did you have a brother or sister here at CHS in ’87-’88? How did you feel? Here’s how some students at CHS felt about having their brother or sister at the same school: Freshman Lisa Ortiz (who is the sister of senior Juan Ortiz) said, “It’s kind-of weird, but then it’s kind-of neat. I guess it gets me closer to him, because if we were in different schools we wouldn’t talk or anything. He would always be at practice or something. I guess it doesn’t really bother me.” Freshman Brandy McCormick (who is the sister of junior James McCormick) stated, “It’s kinda cool cause I always have things to talk about with him when we go home. James is always there when I have problems, or exciting things going on. I guess what I’m trying to say is James is always there for me and I like that.” Junior Jenna Hernandez (who is the sister of freshman Robert Hernandez and senior Sandra Hernandez) commented. “It makes me feel like I don’t have enough time to myself. Especially when I’m in the mood to get in trouble . . they’re the first to know. But now I’m getting used to it.” Junior Tina Garcia (who is the sister of sophomore Tara Garcia, junior Brandy Garcia, and senior Michelle Garcia) had this to say, “I don’t see two of my sisters that much so when we are here at school we have a lot to talk about. My sisters mean a lot to me so when I have a problem I can talk to them and I do it here at school.” Sophomore Melissa Cisneros (who is the sister of freshman Angela Cisneros and junior Robert Cisneros) said, “I feel all right with my brother but my sister is embarassing4” Senior John Rodriguez (who is the brother of Jason Rodriguez and Jodie Rodriguez) stated, “It’s O.K. I guess, because here at school they don’t bug me like they do at home so I guess it’s cool.” And junior David Peru (who is the brother of junior Diane Peru and senior Toni Peru) said, “It’s all right but I wish they would go to another school because I get tired of seeing them all the time. And when I do something stupid they’re the first ones to know. In other words there’s not enough privacy.” Top: CHS sisters: Michelle Garcia, Brandy Garcia, and Tara Garcia.

William A. Coffeen County Attorney 1987-88 HOT This year the media introduced many issues that were of concern to us. Two that got the nations and states attention were the crash of the Stock Market and the impeachment hearings and trial of our governor, Evan Mecham. For the first time in 58 years the Stock Market suffered a serious loss. On HEADLINES was subjected to impeachment. The House of Representatives of the State Legislature voted 46 to 14 for the impeachment of Gov. Evan Mecham and Articles of Impeachment were sent to the State Senate. The Senate, sitting as a jury, will consider the Articles of Impeachment which are based on the hiding of a campaign loan, misuse of state funds and impeding and investigating a death threat of a former staffer. As the time of this writing, the Senate is preparing to hear the case. There were also many other events covered, i.e. the Oliver North-Contra Scandal hearings last July, the 1988 Winter Olympics which were held in Calgary, and the up-coming 1988 Summer Games, which are going to be held in Seoul, Korea. October 24, 1929 — later called “Black Thursday” — stocks plummeted and five days later crashed again. “Black Tuesday” was thus born, a match to “Black Thursday.” Some 16,000,000 shares of stock were sold at a loss, one diving from $100 to $3. On October 26, 1987, “Black Monday” occurred. The Stock Market crashed 508.32 points, losing almost 870 billion dollars in equity values. Also, for the first time in Arizona history, a governor CHS WELCOMES EXCHANGE STUDENT FROM SPAIN On Saturday night, August 22, 1987, Guillermo Rodriquez arrived in Phoenix by plane and was picked up by the Ray Cueto family. Then that Monday, he came to Clifton High School as an exchange student. “Emo is from a small town called Simancas. At age 18, he is the middle child of two other brothers, David 20, and Juan 16. Emo greatly expresses his surprise in differences of America to Spain. In Spain, teenagers are more free from pressures such as drinking laws for example, and other teenage problems that are occurring here in the States today. American fun is much different from Spains. Cities contain parts that are entirely for young adults to enjoy. These areas include dance clubs (“pubs”) and places for kids to walk and have a good time. Emo says cars are hardly used for “cruising”. Emo attended a school in Valladolid, a large city near Simancas, called Pinar de la Rubia. The biggest differences between Spanish and American schools is their school systems and the whole concept of sports. Obviously learning is much more deep in Spain. A good memory is very important to do well. In most classes, the teacher speaks and students write every important thing he says. Then when a test is given, the student writes all he knows onto paper, like an essay. Multiple choice tests are never given. Between a one and a ten-one being good and ten being bad-if a student rates a five, it is considered very good! In Spain, sports aren’t a part of the school program, so they aren’t as important in the school like here. To play a sport, one must join a club and compete against other clubs. Very few people get recognized for being good at a sport and students are hardly ever offered scholarships for sports. Emo enjoys playing soccer, front tennis, roller hockey, and vj swimming. His musical interests include musicians such as Keith Jarret, Mark Knopler, and Mike Oldfield. After graduating, Emo will leave back to Spain at the end of June and he plans to test into a University. Knowing English, Spanish, German, and Latin, he will major in Languages. Emo, may you go back to Spain with many pleasant memories of Clifton High School and life for one year in the United States! When Friends Gather . . . Oak Creek Contracting, Inc.

When I look back at doing this year’s book I remember the long hours, working on days off, determined to make the deadlines but the finished product was rewarding enough. It was that special feeling of accomplishment that made it the best.” Tonja Sandoval “Looking back at the process of putting together the ’88 Trojan is a whole lot better than looking ahead at a deadline. The hardest part had to be choosing and finding good photos. Everything else was a lot of fun. Mario-You crack me up! Mercy and Veronica-Can you write me a story? Speaker and Tredway-I don’t know about you two! Carol-Are you at school? Ms. Schmidt- does this look alright, why does your face do that?” John Constant “When I look back at doing this year’s yearbook I remember the struggle thinking of ideas of layouts just out of the top of my head, staying late nights and afterschool, having to finish or re-do a lay-out that I had nothing to do with, and especially to deal with the headaches. In a way I enjoyed some of it. It was a challenge of doing my best work! There is one thing about this year: I never said I was bored. Being caught saying you were bored was an experience but if you enjoy standing up in front of a class and singing an embarrassing cheer, Go for it!!” Mercy Murrillo CLASS ACT Nothing will ever be the same Nothing will ever be the same as the year comes to an end, and Clifton awaits the up and coming Class of '89, but at the same time says good-bye to the Class of '88.
