 » 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.
