SENIOR CLASS HISTORY When the official count was taken on the memorable “ first-day ” in September, 1928, Mr. Heffner found approximately seventy-five newcomers in the Freshman Class. These past four years have carried us through our high school days and today we stand upon the threshold of our graduation. Our Freshman year held no incidents of unusual interest except the Freshman Reception, which proved exciting for the newcomers only, as they proved to be the only recipients of free hair-cuts. Our Sophomore year began with the election of officers. The class chose: Earl Entrekin, President; George Stine, Vice-President: Isabel Wray, Secretary, and Alice Dennis, Treasurer. Class colors of Old Rose and Grey were chosen, and the motto, “ Toil Conquers All Things,” was decided upon as the one to lead us to higher and better things. This year we won $25 in a popularity contest at Hutchison’s Drug Store. In February of 1930 our class attempted its first party, which proved to be a financial as well as a social success. The number in the class of ’32 was increased at the beginning of the Junior year by the entrance of the students from the rural districts. The class election this year resulted as follows: President, George Stine: Vice-President. Earl Entrekin; Secretary, Isabel Wray, and Treasurer, Alice Dennis. The high spots of this year were the “doggie roast” at the Upper Dam. a dance held in January of 1931, and the Junior and Senior Reception. About a month before Christmas, our class chose their rings. We were all well pleased with our choice of yellow gold and black onyx, as they proved to be the most attractive rings ever purchased by a Senior class. In September. 1931, approximately 70 Seniors entered the grave portals of learning to complete their high school courses. Class officers elected were: President, Charles Elston; Vice-President, Thomas Brookover; Secretary, Mary Jane Hutchison: Treasurer, Alice Dennis. The paramount thought of this year was the trip to Washington and how to get the money for the trip. The class held a very successful bake at the beginning of the year which helped to increase the amount in our treasury. Two very successful dances followed in the line of events. On April 5, 1932, the Senior play, “ The Family Upstairs,” was presented in the Roosevelt Theater, and proved to be a tremendous success, both from a social and economic view. Much credit for its success was due to the untiring efforts of the coach, Mrs. F. Hoffman. The Class of ’32 contributed much toward the athletic success of the school. The entire girls’ basketball team in the 1931-1932 season was composed of Senior girls. The Seniors of this year all feel greatly elevated after the inspiring talk heard at the Alumni Banquet, at which they were welcomed into the association. After all, the four years have been aimed at one goal—graduation. Class Day and Commencement will soon be but memories to us. Our one desire is to prove as successful and admirable as other Seniors who have gone from D. H. S. before us. Helen McLain, '32. Page Thirty THE CUCKOO '32
