Three hundred and fifty seniors, dressed in all varieties of shabby clothes, checked their shoes at the door and entered George Mar- shall’s barn. The 1958 Senior Sock Hop, the “Shoeless Shuffle,” provided an evening for fun, refreshments and dancing. Organized by faculty adviser Miss Lucille Burianck and co-chairmen Judi Mcincrt and Len Comess, the shuffle was the first big event on the senior spring calendar. Highlighting the big hoedown was a floor show. With master of ceremonies Phil Schick in charge, the shufflers were entertained by a variety of musical and comedy acts. Fol- lowing the show, food was served farm style in the barn lobby. Suzanne Krause literally has the hull by the horns as Karin Kerr and Rayo Hibbs chat with a few silent chaperones at the “Shoeless Shuffle.'’ SENIOR SOCK HOP Sharron Andersen. George Laxton, Jim Mullin and Judy Anderson display the sign which offers refuge to fellow down-andout seniors at the “Shoeless Shuffle.” Though it looks like a severe case of March misery, these Senior Sock flop workers are merely recovering from the fatiguing task of cleaning up. 17

One of the highlights of the Junior Class Cotton Ball program was the Virgil Good- ing Quintet, consisting of Jerry Clark, Richard Williams, Jim Clark, Virgil Good- ing and Herman Price. JUNIOR COTTON BALL “Reel” good lime! Fun to the “fin”ish! There can be no doubt that the 1958 Junior Class Party, “The Fishbowl,” net- ted an evening of enjoyment for those who attended. Advised by Miss Jean MacDonald and planned by student co-chairmen Anne Lindsay and Jim Moeller, “The Fishbowl” featured a program of informal dancing and refreshments, highlighted by a four act floor show . Lending to the marine theme of the evening were the decora- tions, consisting of fish cutouts and an aqua background of strung fish nets. “Somethings's fishy here!” says Mary Orendorf as she and I,orraine Braet check their coats with Service Club member Larry Grosskopf at the Junior “Fishbowl. What’s a class party without food? Juniors sample the “seafood at the “Fishbowl.” 16

PROM Weeks of hard work go into the organization of any DHS event, as the Senior-Junior Prom so aptly proved. Co-chairmen Jane McCormick and Bill Petersen, along with their committee of eight seniors and eight juniors, worked tirelessly with faculty ad- viser Mr. Paul Still on the many phases of this annual affair. Sen- iors especially will remember the Senior-Junior Prom on Friday evening, May 23, as it repre- sented the last big social event of their high school days. The Senior-Junior Prom is a night of nights” for many DHS students. Debbie Youngs and Ken Ralfs enjoy the dancing and gaiety that will become a wonderful memory in the years to come. Senior-Junior Prom co-chairmen Jane McCor- mick and Bill Petersen examine old DHS an- nuals for pictures of past proms os they begin their plans for the 1958 event. KLEM KADIDDLE HOP As the warm spring days of May drew near, Tri-Y members experi- enced a strong feeling of wander- lust. Appropriately dressed in their “Sunday finery,” members and their dates “rode the rails” to St. John’s Fellowship Hall for the jun- ior chapter’s annual Klem Kadiddle Hop. This year’s Klem was entitled “Hobo Heaven.” Hay there, you with the stars in your eyes.’ sings Ijirry Crowkopf to Mary Lee Miller as happy farmers Dick Ihlcfeld and Joanne Spencer look on. Junior Tri-Y members Gail Gibson, Ann Steninger, Anne Lindsay and Sherry! Francis give their ap- proval to a poster advertising the Klem. 18
