In the fall she aids in the examination of boys and girls for gym work, and throughout the year presents first-aid and conferences to students. About one-fifth of Miss Dooley’s time is devoted to making home visits. P- TJtX r' . Miss Natzke, school librarian, has charge of three thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven volumes, ranging from poetry to almanacs and from geology to iiction— all of which are available to the students through the school library. This institution, however, contains literary matter other than reference books—there are approximately five hundred pamphlets and nearly fifty scrapbooks, all of great value to the hard- working scholar. Office Miss Shotola. secretary to Superintendent DeW'olf, and Miss Phelps, assistant sec- retary, compose the office force, having charge of all correspondence, records, and similar business connected with both the grade and high schools. Keeping attendance records, the credits of each student in high school, and the permanent recording of grades takes up a great deal of time, but Miss Shotola also takes care of Mr. De Wolf’s correspondence. Miss Phelps has report cards, the book store, and the greater part of Mr. Johnson’s correspondence to look after. Records of board meetings are typed in the office, and bills for such meetings are checked here. Fimi R. Shoioli, Helen M. Phelpi,

Physical Education Department Every type of sport is taken up in boys’ gym—basketball, football, track, soccer, volleyball, tumbling, marching, springboard work, and calisthenics, all under the coaching of Mr. Grimm. The girls’ gym course also contains a variety of athletic activities—baseball, soccer, Held hockey, cndball, basketball, volleyball, track, tennis, stunts, dancing, marching, and calisthenics. Physical education as taught at I). G. H. S. aids not so much in the physical de- velopment of the boy or girl as in increasing his interest in athletics and in promoting a sense of sportsmanship and competition. Also, through the medium of the large classes, students become better acquainted than they would through their regular acad- emic courses. Music Department The general objective of the entire music department is to enhance the individual’s appreciation of music so that in later life he may gain a greater value from it. Mr. Pohlmann is the director of vocal music, and his classes include the A Cappella Choir, the boys’ and girls’ special choruses, which together comprise the mixed chorus, and several beginning classes. The band, under the direction of Mr. Shoemaker, now includes over sixty musicians, and it is the director’s desire to enlarge this group in future years so as to raise the membership to ninety. C. J.

Still More Story When I:clix had been at D.G.H.S. for a few months, the students changed from just a seething mob of high school goers into freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Our hero held an election with his inner self at that time, and the results showed: 1. Most human class Freshman 2. Most intolerable class Sophomore Most sophisticated class Junior 4. Most unapproachable class Senior Sol learned of the modi election. Aw, Felix, don't classify 'em like that. Remember that there should be among us a bond of friendsinp, a common tie that links ns together as stu- dents of D.G.H.S. (Plcavc turn to pay: -’ 52)
