MHBH1 D. H. s. periscope B1 Our Junior year started with a hang, with the members paying student body dues, which every good student should do, joining debate teams and really getting into the thick of the fight for knowledge. During the latter part of the year A Successful Calamity,” a very entertaining comedy, was presented by the class,under the direction of Miss Mary B. G. Hagen, and caused our class pocketbook to swell to a most gratifying plumpness. The big moment of the year came when the Juniors, were host to the seniors at the junior-senior banquet. Mrs. Morse, our class advisor, was largely responsible for the suoess of this affair. The class officers for this important yeap. were as follows: Paul Bollman, president; Richard Webb, vice president; Betty Harcombe, secretary-treasurer. —MmiHHS 1929 W—

Miss Jamie Farmer was elected class advisor and proved to be an exceptional coach for debaters and declamatory contestants. This year w«s much more eventful than the yea.r preceding, for some of the members began to show athletic tendencies and were placed on the high school teams,the class debaters made a good showing,and our representatives in the declamatory contest ranked highest, Richard Weob winning the grand sweepstakes gold, medal. The social life of this yea.r began with our reception to the Freshmen, who attended in full force. ‘This was a rather large party as the freshmen numbered eighty-three and the sophomore class wa.s bv no means small in size. The year was concluded’with 3 party for the class at th'e home ofMargaret Brown. mmmmmm 1929 hhh

 » I . II. S. PERISCOPE Now, we come to the present year in which we play a large part. In fact, we are the High School Spirit now, hut soon we will be gone and another class will take our place with tho same enthusiasm that we now possess. Dick Uebb as president, and a busy one at that, has conducted many a fiery class meeting in Roll Room Number Ten. Bert Gerlinger as vice president has been spared from many of these stormy encounters. Our financos have Ijeen competently handled under the supervision of Betty Jelinek. Betty Harcombe and Laurence Fletcher as editor and business manager of the Periscope have worked untiringly to put this edition across successfully, as well as those procoding it. The Senior class play, Uhite Collars,under the coaching of Miss Coshun,was considered a great success, both financially and as an entertainment, and it also brought many welcome shekels rolling into the money bags of the class. Senior Dress Up Day was considered(especially by the Seniors) the best in tho history of Dallas High School.Look at the pictures of the gorgeously costumed seniors and you will not doubt our word. Another very outstanding event in the annals of the senior class is tho traditional Flunk Day. The very mention of this celebration brings back vivid memories of painful sunburn, enormous appetites, and many amusing incidents. Now, as wo stand on the road of Commencement we can look back and see that no matter hor hard the studies we have had to conquer they have been worth all the energy they required of us. Just a word or two to those who take our place upon the threshold of that one great year of our lives, our Senior year----every sacrifico you must make to become a member of the Senior class, make cheerfully and willingly because the onjoymont,the attainment of a worthy goal will be a groat reward to you.
