Having reached our long-sought destination, we take the liberty to present to the public, Vox, brought about through the cooperation of the senior class and advisor, in the hope that it will portray and continue to be a remembrance of our former nautical schooldays. In keeping with the patriotic spirit of today, we have chosen a Navy theme, and, in doing so we hope to honor all branches of the service, but especially those blue-clad middies whom we admire so much.

This cheerful little earful can always be heard talking at the rate of 20 words a min- ute, and her laughter bubbles through the halls of Denver High.

This dark, curley-haired lad is often found surrounded by a group of chattering lassies, since two deep dimples are his outstanding features. Fisher likes to read comic books during classes, or if he doesn't have any handy, he'll do the next best thing-sleep! On Saturdays and after school-hours you can find him working in his grandfather's comb factory.

Crash, batter, bang! followed by earsplit- ting whistle is Hackie's usual entrance into class, his own version of 'gEnglish Lit keeps the class howling. Hackie is also an in- dustrious tlj worker at Stuber's and his im- itation of Harry James is really Hin the groove. During the second week of every month you can always find him banging away on a typewriter in a last desperate rush to get the Hi Notes article ready for the press. His 'Lad-hunting-campaignl' for the yearbook was a great success. lj you hear Cl loud Accentuate the positive, Dordt look far-t1ou're sure to jimi it's 'Rog-ative'.

This spry little miss is very active in bask- etball, as well as holding her own as an ex- cellent typist. She seems to have the Florence Nightin- gale spirit in her, and to show her liking for Nursing, she is often found taking care of Barbie, her little niece. Heisey,' has a certain peculiar appetite for Lafayettes,', and she's often been found handing them out in school. She's very good in all her studies, And lots of fun for all her buclcliesf' 12 E .- V Betty Moe I-lornberger ClBetty77 126 North Fourth Street Denver, Penna. Basketball, 1, 2, Jr. Red Cross, 4. Betty may have less to say than most of us, but laughs as much as any of us at those weird characters in English Lit. Her favorite sub- jects are typing and shorthand, and she plans to take up secretarial work when she leaves D. H. S. However, among her outside pas- times is another keyboard-the piano. Betty's knack for clever writing made her quite a handy man when the staff was scaring up yearbook articles. Toward the baslrless world slze'll head, In a secretargfs steps she'll tread. Elisabeth Arm Knerr KCNan77 322 Main Street Denver, Penna. Basketball, 25 Hi Notes Staff, 45 4g Class Vice-President, Red Cross, 4. How do you know when Any time you hear a great deal of commotion you know she's someplace near. Nan is very active in class affairs, and was vice-president of the class in both the junior and senior years. Because of her artistic ability, she was chosen to do the art work on the yearbook. She also wrote the Alumnotes column for the Hi Notes each month. Dur- ing her hours of liberty you can find her trying to please the customers at Gensemer's Restaurant. She's always dressed so rleat and smart g In all affairs she does her part. Yearbook Staff, 3, 4, Jr. Nanls around? OX Vox - Kenneth Allen Leid Leeclie 435 Walnut Street Denver, Penna.

Can it be that this blonde Casanova dislikes the romantic ballads of the early centuries? His blonde hair, blue eyes, and his ability to gain the at- traction of the female sex, as well as his love for sports can be summed up as his most out- standing features. Ever since the senior girls realized that Leedie was Navy-bound, he didn't have a minute to himself. His loyalty to the Navy blue can easily be seen in the Class History which he wrote. This basketball lover is also a fan Of those sea-going 'miclclies who help Uncle Sam. Henry Messner, Jr. Hehhie 101 North Third Street Denver, Penna. Orchestra, 3, 4. Beep! Beep! No, it's not a jeep. It's just Hennie, chief chauffeur of the class, taking the final roll call of the gang before going to another class meeting. Besides being admired by all for his ex- treme kindness, he is also admired by the op- posite sex for his good looks. His broad smile will be our loss but the Merchant Marines' gain. Behind the wheel he likes to sit,' He always tries to clo his bit. r I E gw an . S. .gulf .g.2Vox Poul W. Neidhcurdt ffpaazr 527 Main Street Denver, Penna. Hi Notes Staff, 1, 2, 3, 4. Is there a doctor in the house? Well, no, but we do have a prospect. Paul left us be- fore graduation to enter F. and M. College as a Green Frosh in the medical field. His surroundings at high school were us- ually a pile of books, but he proved quite cap- able of handling them and keeping his name on the Honor Roll. His leisure hours were spent with brush and palette creating some beautiful scenes.

This cheer of Shirley's encouraged many a player to fight for victory. Her sparkling personality makes Shirley a favorite of many. Bubbling over with energy, her own personal version of Bobby and Hith Goween Bithyclen has fallen upon many an unwilling ear. Since she was editor of the yearbook, much credit goes to her for her very efficient work. She stirs ap cheers at every game, As yearbook editor she gained her fame.

A great Sportsman, he can always be found in summer with a fishing rod and in Winter with traps and a gun. This carrot-top spends his hours after school working in a local fruit storey thus he earned himself the title of champion oyster-opener. At opening oysters he's really Cl iuhip, But he'd iniich rather be on oi fishing trip. Ruth Mortho Smith ffsmmyr Reinholds, R. D. 1, Penna. Basketball, 1, 2g Jr. Red Cross, 4. A sailor! shrieks a feminine voice, and without further investigation we know Smit- ty has spied a gob. Her aimless giggling and chattering give us many a laugh. Writing let- ters and chewing gum are her favorite pas- times, the latter being the cause of Miss Bitt- ing's daily question, Ruth, are you chewing gum again? This blonde little giggling miss Fills a s0iilor's heart with bliss. 'l 6 gc- V Milton Grill Stetty, Jr. fllwiltyf, 367 Main Street Denver, Penna. Basketball, lg Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4g Jr. Red Cross, 4. If you see a pile of books lying some place with airplanes drawn all over them, you know they're Milty's. No matter what class he's in, he'll sprawl out and dream. Coming out of his dream, he'll exclaim, What was that? or, Will you please repeat that question? He may be small in size, but if you're wait- ing for a joke, just go to Milty, he'll tell you one feven if he has to make it up firstlj Tliere's never an airplane passing by, That cl0esn't catch little Milty's eye. Alice Moy Stuber Alice Denver, R. D. 1, Penna. Jr. Red Cross, 4. Crash! What was that? Why, it was only Alice fighting with another senior boyg noth- ing at all unusual. This jolly pal can usually be seen working in her clad's store, or treating us to a coke or a soda fyum, yumj in the restaurant. Alice, like all other senior girls, would rather sit and translate the signs of the Navy than Caesar or Cicero. Next to the Navy shelll settle for Bing Crosby. Slie'll lielp keep the Staber naine in Denverg Her corny laugh we'll always reinein- ber. OX l Vox o TTj4 e A fl-4 Homer Paul Weaver Weaver Stevens, R. D. 1, Penna. J. V. Basketball, 2, 3, 4. Homer, quite different from other seniors, can usually be seen studying or typing. When everyone is stumped by a question in history, all eyes invariably turn to Homer for the ans- wer. Though very quiet and shy, sometimes Q he gets up enough nerve to ask for his type- writer, or laughs at a very corny joke. His interests tend toward farming and basketball. He seems to like the farm quite well, He's always ready at the sound of a bell.

WENT v 17 .. . ,-.-Vox CLASS HISTORY As the last dong of the ship's bells faded into the past year, we were called into the service aboard the U. S. S. Denver High, September, 1941. We were forty-five nervous students who were ready to start our boot training which would be a new phase of life for us under a new name- Apprentice Seamen fFreshmen.J A change of life was noticed quickly. We were no longer allowed to do what we did in civilian life, but would be under strict orders of the Com- manding Officers. Everything we did would have to be done in double time. The classes would be longer than we were accustomed to, and now we would be compelled to attend classes on time. After a week's time we learned the name of the boot in the bunk next to us. We were now ready to start our four year cruise towards our destination-graduation. Every serviceman loves a party. As the Hallowe'en season drew near, the company planned its first party. Everyone seemed to have a swell time. We got a taste of sham battle in the Battle of Cornshocksf' And the cider! Will we ever forget it? CEspecial1y not the ones who had to be admitted to sick bay. J Every sailor learns how to tie a knot. One day Milton Steffy found himself tied to his bunk by a few knot tiers. VVhen the flowers in Lt. Leisey's room disappeared, she found that they had been thrown out of the portholes. The guilty ones found themselves swabbing the deck. Soon after our entrance, we received our dog tags, QFreshman ringsl which we wore proudly for a couple of weeks, but then they disap- peared to somebody else's finger. fStrange, isn't it'?J As the months rolled by, our boot training came to a close and we had completed the Hrst phase of our training. After spending a few months of liberty, the U. S. S. Denver High again weighed anchor and continued on its cruise. We were now Seamen Second Class QSophomoresl and would go into a more difficult group of studies which would fit us for our future. The medical class CBiology Classj, where we learned how to disect, was the highlight of the year. Commander Fries found that we were also good at carving since we had his portholes and operating table beautifully designed. The Shore Patrol played a leading role in returning the seamen who had decided to go A.W.O.L. Seaman Hackman learned what discipline meant when he tried to compete with the ship's fog horn, and was caught by the Skipper. Ask Hog about that. Since every sailor has a girl in every port, so did Seaman Fisher. Keep- ing his mind on classes was a difficult task for Leroy, and whenever he got a liberty you could find him at a little white house in Reinholds. Xfwflfvlrff V ' L ----1 As our ship drew near the equator, we held our first meeting in which we planned the initiation of the incoming boots, who would soon be cross- ing the line and starting their cruise towards graduation. After spending our second liberty, we boarded our ship as Seamen First Class Uuniorsl and continued our four-year cruise. Our company consisted of only sixteen seamen now. On this cruise we welcomed to Our ship two new officers: Lt. Catherine Austermehle and Lt. Elizabeth Grube. We were sorry to say so-long to two of our officers: Lt. Anna Eberly and Lt. Lillian Deck, both of whom were honorably discharged in order to join their husbands. This cruise would mark the beginning of our future work for the Navy. The Waves were attending Yeoman Class fshorthand, bookkeep- ing, and typingj The gobs spent their time learning to become radio- men fradio code class.J Seamen Steffy and Leid passed the plane recogni- tion examination and became Recognition Officers. From then on they took it upon themselves to spot planes in classes without any command whatso- ever from the officer in charge. This year We were feted by our sea-going mates as the Hallowe'en season again drew near. The electric chair on the chalk line taught us something about electricity Chow about it, girls?j. During this cruise we received our squadron insignias fSenior ringsj, which everyone continued to Wear proudly. Commander Fries found us to be quite good at designing since we turned his aquarium into a seagoing Schwarzwald. He added to our de- signing as he turned his stateroom into an aircraft carrier by lining the walls with colorful pictures of planes. Our presentation of The Belle of Bagdadn provided entertainment for both our sea-going mates and land-lubbers. At this time also, a new custom was introduced aboard our ship, we were to hold a dance Uunior Prom, for our mates who were going to leave us in the spring. The lower deck was beautifully decorated and the party was heralded a great success. As our ship again set sail, we were advanced a step. We now wore the stripes of a Petty Officer, third class CSeniorsJ. On this cruise we greeted Lt. Ralph Lutz and Lt. Coreta Brubaker. Petty Officer Shirley Schnad- er was chosen editor of our annual shipis Log fyearbookj. As her staff she chose Petty Officers Knerr, Heisey, Hackman, Leid, and Neidhardt. How- ever, Petty Officer Neidhardt left us to attend Officers' Training School fFranklin and Marshall Collegej soon after this appointment. At long last our four years' objective was realized when, amid fond farewells, dances, The Little Terror, and finally commencement, we turned our eyes toward a new horizon that lay before us on the sea of the future. Although the waves seemed to be quite rough when we embarked on our new careers, somehow we were sure that a peaceful calm lay out there some- where-and we were determined to find it. 22 L. Y -- --- - W Y -. . 'ii'T:VOX CLASS PROPHECY As the beautiful summer moon rises over the waves and the warm seabreezes blow over the deck, R. S. HACKMAN, Wall Street's youngest and most prominent broker, and his private secretary, SHIRLEY K. SCHNAD- ER, leave the harbor of New York on the liner Denver to spend the summer cruising the world. While lingering on deck they fond- ly reminisce, remembering that exactly ten years have passed since they left Denver High School to begin their great journey of life. As they stand on the beautiful moon-lit deck a classmate strools by, and they recognize her to be none other than ALICE M. STUB- ER, a prosperous young woman on her way to Hawaii to inspect one of her pineapple plantations. After spending a lovely time on the ro- mantic Carribean Sea, the ship docks a short time at the gorgeous city of Panama. While having a coke in a small Pan-American rest- aurant they meet DR.. PAUL NEIDHARDT and ANNA RUTH HEISEY, head surgeon and head nurse of the George Hospital respective- ly. On their return to the ship the captain informs them that their next stop will be that historical naval base, Pearl Harbor, Ha- waii. VVhile taking a sight-seeing tour of the base, they stop to watch a baseball game. Who is that curley-headed pitcher? Why it's Denver High's 1945 blonde Casanova, LT. COM- MANDER KENNETH A. LEID, U.S.N.R., who now heads this famous naval base. Dur- ing a brief visit with their No. 1 blue jacket, a humming noise attracts their attention, and, as they watch in admiration the daring twists and spins, they see a navy fighter plane come to earth. As the pilot steps out they recog- nize him as LT. MILTON STEFFY, who has just returned from his one-hundredth test flight. They then board the cruiser and continue their journey to the Phillippine Islands, where they find their former science teacher, DR. HAROLD H. FRIES, jumping over fences and running through jungles chasing a beautiful butterfly for his intelligent biology class. Aft- er ten long years he is still singing, Don't Fence Me Inf, Our next stop is Australia, where they encounter that great and well- known sportsman, LEROY SHIMP, who is on a vacation hunting rabbits and kangeroos. After spending the next few days on the great Paciiic, they reach a magniiicient Rus- sian seaport, where they make their way to a Russian wheat farm. 1-iere we find the owner is none other than MISS MARION A. BIT- TING-no longer teaching typing and short- hand, but learning to farm from her former pupil, HOMER WEAVER, a teacher of agri- culture. Our two '45 travelers continue their journey through the lVIediterrean Sea to ar- rive at the beautiful city of Vienna, where BETTY M. HORNBERGER and MAESTRO RALPH LUTZ are giving a piano and violin concert in a conservatory of music. Their next stop is the ancient city of Rome where they visit many Roman buildings, in the ruins of which they find MISS CATH- ERINE AUSTERMEHLE digging tor some old Latin writings for her ambitious senior Latin students, who are so advanced that they have finished all textbooks ahead of time. Aft- er leaving Italy they come to the world's fash- ion center, gay Paree. During their first eve- ning there, they travel to the Cafe de la Paix, where they meet E. ANN KNERR, New York stylist, and ANNA ROSE DIFFENBAUGH, interior decorator, attending the 1956 Paris Fall Fashion Show. While strolling through the park next day, they notice MRS. CARL BRUBAKER and her dog, Spot She in- forms them that she is taking a postwar trip to Europe. The last country they come to is England, while exploring famous Oxford Col- lege, they find PROFESSOR KRICK doing research work for the future development of geometry. Now homeward bound, they are told by the captain of the liner that two members of their class have boarded the ship in England. Upon investigation, they meet HENRY MES- SNER, president of the Trans-Atlantic Steam- ship Lines. The second member is that blue- eyed blonde maiden, RUTH SMITH, who now does secretarial work for the Navy. Her only ambition has come true-to be with the sailors. As they draw near New York harbor the famous Statue of Liberty appears in the distance. Who is that curley-headed, sleepy- eyed man on the dock who is pointing out the approach of the ship to his young sons? It must be--yes, it is-LEROY FISHER. With that domestic touch our travelers once more settle down to life in the good old United States of America.

U ORCHESTRA This group of music-makers gets together each Friday afternoon during the last period to learn how to swing and sway. They put their knowledge to use at school functions, such as the senior play and commencement. 950 DANCES Among the social activities of the students of Denver High, are the informal dances sponsored by the various classes. Their first gala event of the year was a combined I-IalloWe'en party and dance. After that, dances were held on the average of one a month. Music at these dances was furnished by popular re- cords belonging to the students. The last event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, given by the juniors to the seniors as a farewell party. Gay decorations, melodies furnished by a local orchestra, and delicious refreshments made it a memorable eve- ning for all. 34 V - ---- - , O JV 0615 and Jxfsom af Eanvst CHEERLEADERS Left to right: Shirley Schnader, Betty Hertzog, Florence Brunner, Anna Rose Diffenbaugh. After the usual high school voting and the final counting of the pupils: choice, these four lassies were named cheerleaders of Denver High. With plenty of work before them, they set to work on planning their snappy blue and White outfits, and working out new cheers. With the cooperation of high school students, they managed to make the gym explode with plenty of noise. Obi?
