When school opened in September the freshman class was one of the largest ever to enter D. T. H. S. There were thirty-eight boys and thirty-four girls in the B Class, and twelve boys and eight girls in the A Class. When the second semester began, nine boys and seven girls were added, making a grand total of one hun- dred eight students. The big event of the year was a Valentine party held in the lower hall on February 12 with nearly one hundred per cent of the class present. The evening was spent in dancing and playing games, and initiating the sixteen new freshmen. Refreshments were served after the entertainment. ,H ,Eff litlrk Raft'-lftlwzxnl Christensen, Harold Michaels, .lohn Higgins, james Fisher, Bill Doran, Dale Carpenter, hhvlllllllll Leach, Charles Doran, Kenneth Beiswanger. lfozzrllz Rott'-Frances liratia, Yirginia liilslvorough, Shirley Michaels, Margaret Cossrau, Frances linnderson, Norma lleiswanger, Gertrude Olsen, Lola Foersterling.
