1- l934--- SENIOR CLASS SONG O We are the Seniors of 1934 We're here to say good-by Now in the years that are sure to come and go We'll always think of our dear Dalles Hig We won't forget the school we loved so true, For it we'll always stand, It was the pride and joy of our schoolhood days, We'll never forget Dalles Hi. The proms and the picnics were not a thing to miss, A good time was always had, Even the lessons that seemed so very hard, They really were not half badg The teachers made us do the things for which we did not care But we know they were the best, Now we are thnough, we are starting on our way, And we won't forget D. H. S. -Words and Music by Jay Hendrick 24

I934l SENIOR CLASS HISTORY O It seems but a short time since the class iof '34 was officially ushered into the halls of The Dalles high school in the fall of 1930. Their welcome by the student body was in the form of a giant mixer which took place on the football field with the Sopho- mores as their hosts and h.ostesses. The Freshman boys first ran a gauntlet of Sophomores who paddled them on the rear extremity as they passed by in single file. A few whips and boards were smuggled into the line by the Sophs, causing the gauntlet to be extremely painful to not a few Freshmen. The next event was a field tournament between the two classes, featuring sack races and camel fights, in which the classes as a whole took part. The Freshman b.on fire, an annual event, was not held this year because of the cancellation of the Columbia Prep game and due to the fact that a number of mystere ious upperclassmen destroyed the material gathered for the fire. The class presented one assembly each term to the student body. At an assembly for the band, Pop Endicott awarded three medals-two brass and one silver-to members of the band who had made the most progress in the past year. All of these medals were awarded to members of the Freshman class. The Freshmen were well represented on all athletic squads. As Sophomores the class of '34 gave the usual banquet to the football squad. Several assemblies were presented to the student body during the two terms. The usual mixer for the incoming Freshmen was not held this year as hazing of all sorts was banned. Another successful year was enjoyed by the class of '33. The class play, She's a Good Fellow, was presented at the high school auditorium. Rings, and pins were se- lected, each having an engraving of the Five-Mile rapids upon it. The annual Junior Prom was given at the Civic Auditorium in honor of the Seniors. The cleass quietly returned to school in the fall, to begin the most eventful year of their high school days. Class members were guests at the Junior Prom present on May 4. The Senior picnic, which was revised from the annual Flunk Day was held at Bear Springs camp on the Wapinitia Cut-off on April 25. The vmork of our Senior year is brought to a close by the graduation exercises. As we receive our diplomas amid the applause of friends, we are assailed by mixed feelings. We are glad to look forward to the bright future, but are sorry that probably the .happiest hours of our lives are over.-J. W. and D. S. 23
