Pi i n cipa I Graduates of 1951: I like the theme of this year book — We will always remember D. H. S. in 1951. In spite of the simplicity of this theme, it may be years be- fore you fully appreciate it. As time passes, the pictures and the editorial copy in this book and all they mean and imply will become more precious to you. I assure you that you will refer to it time and again with real pleasure. I hope, among other things, that you will be able to remember Davenport High as a place where you met and worked with dynamic, capable, understanding teachers, where you gained per- sonal and intellectual poise and stature, and where you were motivated to many of the things which have enabled you to become successful, happy adult citizens. Please accept my very best wishes for the future. Sincerely, The high school office staff. Seated are Miss Mary Jean Hayes, Mrs. Shirley Hugunin. Standing is Miss Viola Volltens.
