The look of ’12 DHS was something to see in 72! A generation that grew up with “police action” came of age . . . they evidenced student lobbying power with the passage of controversial environmental laws . . . bottle bill, bicycle bill; they exercised a new right with pride, Vote Here; and they revived concern for religion. Even those not actively involved reevaluated their attitudes and became more tolerant of ideas foreign to their own. No longer was “doing your thing” merely accepted - it was expected. In their dress . . . “this is ME,” in their music . . . “Bangla Desh,” in their activities . . . bible studies, recycling meetings . . . it was evident that the student body experienced expanded awareness and objectivity - they stopped looking and started seeing. DHS’ers developed 20 20 vision in a cinemagraphic world. The student body combined united pride with the realization that things got done through the efforts of a small, dedicated minority. Individuals strove to find their true interests and get involved with them. 2

ANEW WAY A self-review Down to earth . . . United States rockets rarely touched the moon in 1971-72 and Dallas High students mimicked the practice. Without losing touch with sensitivity, we demanded practicality. By remaining aware of the needs and ideas of others, we came to evaluate our own abilities and obligations. Dallas students refused to remain just “one of the crowd;” they expanded their distinctive qualities. Competing by riding a novel carriage in less than ideal conditions, communicating whenever, wherever and however we could, contemplating problems, modern and not so modern, celebrating in a time of celebration, meditating on His ways - reacting in a way to define a character that is ourself.
