On Thursday May 7, 1942 the seniors came to school very non- chantly and went through their morning classes in the customary way, all acting as though nothing unusual was going to happen, but when the noon hour arrived there was a great hustle and bustle of seniors changing auto tires, checking oil and gas, buying needed food, changing clothes, etc. At about 12:50 P.M. we were ready and waiting to get started. Mr. Sommer took Roscoe Urban, Marguerite Ritter, Eleanor Dugan, and Marjorie Yager in his carg John Woodis took Bill Matson, Hugh Harris, John Yager, and Dorothy Anderson with him. We went to Mr. Sommer's summer cabin up in the mountains ab' out twenty three miles west of Boulder via Denver and Boulder. On arriving at the cabin we found about three feet of snow drifted up around the front door so we had to go to the back door in order to get in. Hugh Harris climbed up on the house and removed the chime nay cover while John Yager shoveled a path fron the front door to the car and the other boys helped remove the window shutters, chop wood and build fires in the fireplace and cookstove. After the supper, which the girls cooked, was devoured, Bill Matson and John Woodis went fishing in a stream a short distance from the cabin, they returned in about an hour with nothing but a couple of pairs of wet shoes and sox. we spent the evening sitting around the fireplace listening to a few jokes, drying our shoes and stockings that had previously gotten wet, and wondering how frightened we would be if a wild cat or bear should come around. The next morning aiter breakfast we all climbed a long, steep, hill which looked easier than it proved to be. No casualities oc- cured except Dorothy Anderson lost a little skin while sliding down some rocks. We left the cabin at about 9:50 A.M. and der. we stopped at Barker Dam and took a few top of ite I On arriving at Boulder, we shopped a few drove around the University, and other places paid a short visit to the museum where we eiw fossils, different kinds of minerals and ores started down to Boul- snap shots from the minute s and then of interest. We ' many Indian relics, , before resuming our trip home, John Wbodis visited his sister and brother who attend the university. We were in Bennett in time for the track meet Fri- day afternoon.

D7 li lf 1 tii l r f . i.H fi r . i. EXE nfafr giig , ii A' inet nEfcif3fne s Star-Ani we have a queer feeling as to being taken up and down in an elevator. Suddenly the whirring stops and we realize that we are now in the year'of 1962. What happened to our class, who graduated from D. T. H. S. away hack in 1942. Let's look around this nBrave New Worldn and see. Bill Matson, who joined the Navy in 1945, has certainly shown his ability as being a leader. He has been honored with the title of Rear Admiral and is new stationed at Calcutta, India. He is un married, but like every sailor, he has a pal in every port. Dorothy Anderson is new teaching Girls physical Education in North Western University. From her letter she really enoys her 1 worm. Hugh Harris is now running the mfst popular and well-known res- tqurant in Denver. Hugh andliis partner Ryland Drinkwine are do- ,ng very well in their business, one can tell by the limousine they drive. Hugh was married a few years after he fraduated. I might add the sign on their restaurant is Drink and Dine with Hugh and Old Drinkwine. John Woodis is heard every week night over station C. B. S. New York, with his NJumpin Jivesn Orchestra. John is now playing in the Blue Room, Fitz Hotel. Marguerite Ritter is head nurse of the Mercy Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa. She has been engaged for fivepars to Dr. Lloyd, a well known surgeon. Their wedding is planned for July 4,1962, hleanor Dugan although all of her life she had wanted to be a nurse, we find she is new a beauty operator in H-llywood. She does the teauty work of rnny of the screen stars. Faye Bartlett whose ambition was always to be a nurse was elected,G0unty nurse of Arapahoe County. In l956 she was married to a wealthy banker, and new has a little girl 2 years old, but her great ability in nursing calls her away from home, so a private nurscmaid takes care of baby Rose. Dick Jones after graduating moved to Nashville, Tennessee where he took a two year course in Electrical Engineering. Now has a foreman's job in an lectric plant. He has been. married for quite a while and is as be py as anyone can te. His wife Marge is his private secretary. This gets us a view of Fargaret Staples in her coefortable home. Marjorie Yager took a three year course in a private air school and is new a licensed oilot and has three or four private planes in which she is giving flying lessons to other girls who are in- t rested in aviation. Roscoe Urban joined the army in l943 and although he had many, many hours of K.P. to do for contradicting his superior officers, he finally climbed the hard, rough road to success. His picture was seen in several of the leading newspapers of our County as being made captain of Q large Regiment in New Zealand. John Yager joined the Army Air Corps. His record , like his school record, has been one of outstanding success. His advance- ment indicates this. ... 1- ,...,..... .. .,... ,i,--- .
