The aim of the Victory Corps is to group war-minded teen-aged folk, to develop them and to help them do their part in our effort to win this war. This organization has been formed all over the United States by the Office of Education. The advance divisions of the Victory Corps are: Land, Sea, Air, Production, and Community. To belong to these you must be a Junior or Senior in high school. If you are an under-classman you can belong to the general membership. Duties of the members are to sponsor and help in salvage drives and Red Cross Board and Stamp drives, and to bring about the close coordination with the civilian defense organizations. Members earn V hours for working in some Patriotic way for Victory. The officers of the Victory Corps are the Student Body officers, and the advisers are Mr. Leonard, Mrs. Dexter, and Miss Butler. 22

Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet The Juniors entertained the Seniors at a formal Banquet and Prom on May 20, 1943. The Banquet was held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, and the Prom in the Dallas High School gym. Practically the entire Junior and Senior classes attended the Banquet. The Home Economics class cooked the dinner, and the menu was turkey, peas, mashed potatoes, salad, and hot rolls. For dessert they had ice cream and cake. Many of these foods were very hard to obtain because of war time restrictions. After the dinner the President of the Junior Class gave a short talk, saying farewell to the Seniors. Eldon Bevens, President of the Senior Class, then said a few words and thanked the Juniors for the lovely dinner. Miss Hathaway, from Willamette, then gave a fine humorous after-dinner talk. Thus ended the Banquet. From there a good number of both classes went to the Prom. As Time Goes By was the theme song for the first and last dance. On the last dance Miss Patricia Krewson sang As Time Goes By. The entire gym was decorated with flowers, which consisted of Ocean Spray, Scotch Bloom, Mock Orange, and Lilacs. The combination was very beautiful. For music a juke box was used. The girls looked lovely in their formals. Kampus Kapers November 19 and 20 our auditorium was filled with people who came to see our Variety Show, Kampus Kapers, which consisted of an extensive variety of D. H. S. talent. The biggest attraction of the evening was Ballet Moose, a ballet given by the graceful football players and featuring Earl Appleton. There were vocal solos by Shirley Hass, Donald Hughes, and Pat Krewson. The Mixed Chorus, the Girls' Sextet, and the Boys' Quartet also sang between plays. Entertainment was provided when a musical comedy was given by the Girls' League, and when Beverly Bennett and Carol Enstad gave humorous readings. The Girls' Tumbling Team performed and Pat Zentz did some acrobatics. Other features of the show were a guitar solo by Wayne Gerard, a tap dance by Beverly Osuna, and an accordion solo by Bob Cox. There were two skits given. One in which Bob Dunn and Pat Sharp showed how to catch your boy or girl friend, and Epandemonium, about a little negro boy who never did things right. All in all a very enjoyable evening was had by both the performers and the audience. 21
