en iam CMM 0 194 Spring, 1954, the time of the year when the seniors of DHS will be looking back over their high school days with the recollection of many happy memories and experiences. Many will remember the first day they passed through those main doors into what many con- sidered a different world. We became official- ly initiated into the school on October 17, 1950, when we came dressed with green hair ribbons and carrying dolls. As Hfreshiesn we became acquainted with the school, gained new friends, looked in awe at the upper- classmen, and familiarized ourselves with the different teaching arrangement. Many were the times when we had to ask upper-classmen the directions to a class. Class officers from our freshman class were jim Collins, president, David Murphy, vice president, and Tom Huf- ford, secretary-treasurer. The girls who joined GAA. this year enjoyed a trip to Chicago to see the Sonia Henie lce Revue. From this class of QO9, twenty-two of the members made the honor roll the first quarter. As exhalted sophomores we were no longer regarded as the babies of the school. More of us went out for band, choral work, G.A,A. 12 Senior class officers: Peter Schuler, president, Nancy Countryman, vice president, and Jim Collins, Secretary-treasurer. and the other various clubs. This year we elected l.arry Lund, president, ,lim Collins, vice president, and john Cuorman, secretary- treasurer, finally we were upper-classmenl We plan- ned our first all school party and attended our first prom to which we had eagerly looked forward to. Qur athletes played a big role in varsity sports. We elected as class officers this year: Bob Ashford, president, Pon French, vice president, and Sobra Steward, secretary- treasurer. Now, before we've even had time to catch a breath, our senior year has come to a close. Time passed quickly while we planned for our yearbook, cap and gowns, senior pictures, the prom, and graduation. Homecoming was an outstanding feature this year with Sabra Stew- ard elected Queen with Nancy Countryman and Lynn Missman as her attendants. Pete Schuler, president, Nancy Countryman, vice president, and Jim Collins, secretary-treasurer, were elected as senior class officers. The future holds much for this graduating class and it will be with pleasant memories that we will depart from our four years at Dixon High School.
