SENIOR DIARY August 19 —D. M. H. S. opened its school year. This was a great day, a day looked for¬ ward to, particularly by the members of the graduating class of 1947. We are to be the bosses, so to speak, of the year. Ambition to do a great year ' s work was felt in the air—time will tell! August 27 —The Hi-Hatter Staff was organized. Was this staff really hi-hat or was it our imagination? September 6 —Football season opened. This game with Richlands was not the answer to our hopes—defeated by the opposing team 33-0. Cheerleaders have been added to give color and pep to the games. September 20 —Senior Class Officers were elected. President—Cecil Sykes, Vice- President—Margaret Remines, Secretary and Treasurer—Johnny Sutherland. This group should successfully lead the Senior Class. October 4 —Work was begun today on our Annual. The Green Knight. Everything is secret, undercover work, until the year-book is published. We hope you look forward to the day when you receive your copy—the road looks hard from here. November 2 —Football season ended. It has been wonderful to be able to have football again—fun to see our own team play. This day brought one of the four great victories of the season—we defeated Glade Springs 24-0. November 6 —Oh yes. we do have social gatherings! Tonight the Seniors had a Weiner roast at the famous Cranes Nest Picnic Grounds. We ate plenty but we socialized more. After the picnic we went to the skating rink—Douglas and Thomas won the prizes for falling down. November 11 —Armistice Day Program was presented by members of the American Legion. W T e were glad to have the visitors who helped us remember that our parents and citizens fought and suffered in World War I as well as in World War II. God grant that we shall never lose sight of the horrors of war. November 20 —Basketball season opened. We have our triumphant 5 from last year and they will make then- mark. November 27 —Thanksgiving Program in Assembly. Harvest scenery gave the stage an atmosphere of the season and the Pilgrim costumes of Clyde and Allene made the program a timely function. November 27-December 1 —Thanksgiving holidays. The holiday has gotten off to a happy start. December 6 —Mildred Burley gave a program of music. December 10 —The pictures came back for the Annual. They are unusually good—hard to believe, isn’t it? December 11 —Mr. W. R. Hale, impersonator, gave a program in Assembly. It ' s enjoyment was best shown by the perfect conduct of our student body. December 20-December 30 —Christmas holidays. Yes, the real thing—Christmas again. January —A generally uneventful month. February 14 —D. M. H. S. boys won the preliminary games in the County basketball tourna¬ ment. February 20-March 3 —An unexpected vacation. Unusually heavy snows interrupted the educational program for seven school days. February 27 —We expected to defeat Jonesville in the 8th district basketball tournament, but Drew Pearson apparently overshadows us in prophetic powers. March 7 —We won the County basketball championship. Some dreams come true! March 21 —Junior Play. Yes, it was good. We Seniors now feel that we are yielding our places to next year’s seniors. April 25 —Senior Play. For us this was almost the biggest event of the year. We now look forward to May 19, when we expect to receive our diplomas. Soon we will be merely alumni of D. M. H. S. instead of proud Seniors. ( 14 )
