Class History The year 1943 brought an addition of sixty new freshmen to the halls of D.T.H.S. Although these students were decidedly green, they attacked their new life vigorously with the hope of making their class one of the most outstanding classes that Dwight had ever witnessed. Under the sponsorship of Miss Bratt, the class held its first class meeting and eleeteelaits class officers, EUQCTTCASGFETISCTI as president,'t:?rrtl'n1rs'Kern, vice- ' president, and Lorraine Kepplinger as secretary-treasurer. Mary Grace Beiswanger won the American Legion Award. By the time our sophomore year was at hand, our class had dwindled to forty-nine. This year Mr. Haegele was our sponsor, Betty Paulsen, president, Arthur Kern, vice-president, and Ann Paasch, secretary-treasurer. On April 6, we held our annual sophomore party in the lower hall. The winner of the American Legion award this year was Helen Olllrien. With the coming of our junior year, we advanced to the ranks of upper- classmen. This brought many new problems into our lives, but under the careful guidance of our class sponsor, Miss Carter, we were able to overcome them. Gur main problem was that of raising money for the prom, This was achieved by selling stationery, sponsoring a movie, selling candy at football and basketball games, and presenting our annual class play. We ordered our class rings in November and received them the following March. ' 23 Qn November 16, 1945, under the direction of Miss Gberle, we presented our class play, Footloose, The cast consisted of lletty Paulsen, Mary Grace Page Fifteen
