 (IF SCHOOL LIFE We, the editors of the 1946 Blackhawk Annual, feel that a year- book needs no formal pattern, that the portrayal of a year's ac- tivities in a vivacious, active, exhuberant high school is suffi- cient theme . Therefore we have tried to represent here the life that is typical of high school days — the days you will want to remember in years to come as those good old days at D. H. S. Recorded in this book are all the phases of activity in which sometimes industrious, sometimes carefree, high school youths engage: trips with the debate squad; heated discussions in civics classes; dates to Homecoming, Spinisters Spree, the Military Ball, and the Victory Ball; training for baseball, football or track; col- lecting props, practicing lines, and building sets for the plays; marching at football games in the band; selling tickets for the Minstrel Show, Hi-de-Hi and public speaking programs; cam- paigning for Boys' State; going to Student Council meetings; be- ing elected president of Spanish Club; singing in a'Cappella; doing the wrong set of problems for trig; being tested for tuber- culosis; working on an English assignment in the library; staying late after school to fold Blackhawk newspapers; looking over yearbook pictures; receiving a diploma at commencement. Thus, with the activities of this past year as our central idea, we have tried to portray life at D. H. S. as you experience it. The theme is YOU, and to you we dedicate this 1946 Blackhawk Year- book. Right: Barbara Willott and John Ingwersen entering our school, center of student life.
