Page 20 PERISCOPE Petre Card Ellis Senior Class History In the fall of nineteen hundred twenty-three, sixty-three valiant Freshmen entered the halls of Dallas High School—wondering Freshmen, timid: yes, even green, but a group who were eager to learn and willing to play the game to the best of their ability. With this spirit of willingness and good fellowship the present Senior class finished its first year of high school life successfully. As Sophomores we drew a new hand and that old, old maxim “Do unto others as you would be done by” was faithfully carried oat by our class mates for the second year students, with all the arrogance of “A little bit of knowledge” attempted to set an example for the rooks and vie for honors with the upper classes. Members of the class began to enter the lists of school activities and the Sophomore-Freshman reception added spice to the social life. The Junior year is often remembered as one of the busiest and the best for at that time the Junior class came into its own. The girls won the inter-class basketball pennant and several of the boys distinguished themselves in the various athletic activities of the school. Willis Balderree was elected president of the class and Miss Pearl Lewis as adviser. Our first play, Anne-What's Her-Name”. furnished a great deal of fun for the cast and was well received by the people of the town. The election of Wayne Page as president of the Student Body and the event of the Junior-Senior reception closed the year and paved the way for renewed honors and activities for our Senior year. At the beginning of our Senior year we found that our class had greatly decreased in size. At the first class meeting we chose Miss Feme Gribbin as class adviser and elected the following officers: Albert Petre, president: Edna Card, vice-president; and Virginia Ellis, secretary-treasurer. The Junior-Senior Class party opened the social events of the year. The Senior class won the inter-class debate, and the basketball team ran the Sophomores a close second. We also won the school championship in the yell contest. Albert Petre disguised as an actress in the class play, The Arrival of Kitty”, coached by the class adviser, added zest to the play and furnished the audience much amusement. Four years in Dallas High School has indeed taught our class the rules of the game. We have learned the “in's and out's” of student association and have faced some of the graver issues o'f experience as well. As a class we have endeavored to play the game squarely and as a class we would like to pass that spirit on to other students of our school.
