PERISCOPE Page 27 LeFors Gerlinger Sibley Bollman Sophomore Class History On a certain rainy day in the year of our Lord nineteen-hundred and twenty-five, forty verdant little Freshmen gazed with awe at the building in which they were to pass four eventful years in trying to pursue that elusive thing, called Knowledge. Starting our first session with the spirit that has characterized us through our two years in D. H. S., we elected Miss Magness, class adviser; Robert Hayter, president; Paul Bollman. vice president: Dorothy Minnich, secretary and treasurer. We Freshmen had a wonderful time at the party given us by the class of '28. We threw a kid party the next semester in honor of the mid-year Freshies. Although they were not bounteously fed, since we ran out of funds, everyone seemed to have a good time. Several of our members were lost at the end of the year in floundering through the Deep River of Final Exams. The next year we lost all our freshness and foolishness and became sophisticated Sophomores. The new Freshmen were shown a few things by our class. At the first of the term we elected officers, as follows: Robert LeFors, president: Bert Gerlinger, vice president; Catherine Sibley, secretary; Paul Bollman. treasurer. Miss Jamie Farmer was elected class advisor, and has proved to be an exceptional coach for the debaters and declamatory speakers, as our representatives won first place. The Reception which we gave for the new Freshmen at the first of the year was a great success and a large crowd was present. During the second semester Margaret Brown entertained our class at her home. We will always remember the good time we had at her party and the artistic paper hats we all made. The Sophomores are prominent in school athletics, as we have members of our class on the high school baseball team, track team, basketball team and football team. Our representatives in the Declamatory Contest, Betty Jelinek and Richard Webb, won first place in their division, and Richard also won the grand sweepstakes gold medal.

PERISCOPE Page 29 Garrett Lane Freshman Class History The Freshman Class entered D. H. S. with eighty-three members, many of whom came from the country districts. The Sophomore-Freshman reception, held in the high school gymnasium, was enjoyed by all who attended it. The Freshmen were well represented in athletics, as three members of the class made the football team, namely Eldon Vaughn, Bob Griffin and Rook Page. In basketball. Bob Griffin was the only Freshman earning his letter, but in baseball Bob Griffin. Norman Beebe and Ben Garrett received letters. When the Freshman team played Airlie High School the score was 26-4 in favor of the Rooks. One event in Freshman history that many will not forget was “'placing” of two rooks into the creek by the Seniors. The Freshmen then reciprocated by coming out in force and ducking all the Senior boys. Mr. Turner then undertook to clear the trouble between the classes and organized a tug-of-war in which the Freshmen were able to hold their own but lost a few feet of rope, so were compelled to all go through the cold water of the La Creole. FRESHMEN Our high school faculty is the best, With Turner at the head. Not the North, or South, or East, or West, Can say what I have said. Whitworth, the kind and courteous man, Has been principal for four long years. Pillard scolds neither Jimmie or Ann. And causes no one to shed tears. Miss Marcy we chose to guide our class Through our first year in higlf, In English we surely ought to pass. ’Cause Mrs. Van Meter is nigh. There are Gray and Loy and Gribbin. And you know all the rest. Each one deserves a blue ribbon, For they are teachers of the very best.—Leander Quiring.
