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.

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.
