J Senior History .X EM.. Sm., S... N a bright September morning in 1950, our Freshman class appeared on the threshold of D.C.S. ready to blaze a trail through the intricacies of Senior High. Our first seatsin the coveted Upper Hall were in Rooms 10 and ll. That year we gave voice to our high spirits at a Christmas party in the gym, at which Mrs. Steinert's scintillating personality set the pace for our merrymakingg and we tied up the year in a neat knot with a picnic at Caroga Lake. In the fall of 1951, some of us moved on to an odoriferous home in Room 16,where we made the acquaintance of Floydie, whose transparent and disarming personality charmed all of us. The rest of us settled down to a more or less perpetual initiation of Mr. Charles in Room 8. That year, under Proffy Buck's masterful guidance, we successfully launched Cupid's Ren- dezvous, which placed our feet on the bottom rung of the ladder, up which we had to climb if we were to become known as successful dance sponsors. I ,. 4 Our first Junior dance, The Kick-off, started the year auspiciously. At Christmas, Mistletoe Moods happily fulfilled our expectations. All was not play, however, and we worked long and diligently to sell yearbook advertisements to well-wishing businessmen. Then we took orders for the completed yearbook, which was really a winner. We also sold copies of Tip of the Hill, a historical novel whose locale is the old Fairfield Academy. At last, class day arrived! Who among us will ever forget that final assembly ofthe year--the presentation of awards and our eight studious classmates who were initiated into National Honor Society! We had hardly finished settling ourselves at our new blonde desks for our sen- ior year, when Prof. Loucks fixed us with a stern eye and said, Here are your stationery order blanks! We had scarcely completed this assignment, whenour magazine order blanks arrived. After this double orgy of peddling was over, we lapsed into comparative calm, selling candy in the lower corridor after school, selling supper tickets, and taking orders for Christmas candy. The Christmas concert was the realization of one of Mrs . Tanner's fondest dreams in that it was directed entirely by Seniors. Stage managing, ushering, conducting and publicizing were diligently carried out by us to make the concert worthy of the high stand- ards set for our music department. As the post-holiday depression settled down upon us, Prof. lowered the boom. Time to start practicing for the Senior Play. After reading dozens of dramas, a committee selected Doctor's Orders. Needless to say, the presentation was a success. Our money bags were now full, and we turned to packing for our big trip. Bright and early in the morning, we boarded the train for Washington. Our air of blase sophistica- tion melted before the impressive sights that met our eyes as we visited the shrines of our capital, New York had its own attraction which held us spellbound. We turned home a weary group, but with everlasting memories of two of our nation's greatest cities. composed of organized activity. Prof. without wincing as he remembers our during noon hours.
