 Days to Remember” HOMECOMING Spirit and enthusiasm shone through the halls of Dallas High as Days to Remember, the 1973 homecoming week commenced. The crowning of Queen Sally Denlinger opened the week's activities during a coronation assembly filled with tenseness and excitement as students awaited the announcement of their reigning queen. Slicked-back hair, red lipstick and hoop skirts were a common sight on 1 950's day, during which students looked nostalgically at the past. Other traditional events like the Serpentine, trike races and button day were successful and showed schoolwide participation. A night of romance and dancing, the added thrill of competitive sport and the meeting and reuniting of old friends, helped weave the fabric for more Days to Remember.

V ‘ Sophomore, Jeff Anderson, finds himself buried in cardboard collected for recycling by the club. The Year of the Ecologist H.E.L.P. CLUB The National Guard seemed to be the hero of HELP (Help Earth Live Permanently) as the men volunteered their time, trucks and machinery to the club. Activities began with the hauling of three years' worth of collected bi-metal to Portland and followed with a load of crushed glass. The biggest job tackled by the local division in aiding HELP was the demolition of its old barn. Weekly meetings were held by the club, where paper was sorted, glass was crushed, cardboard was flattened and bundled, and recyclable material was collected from the downtown area. Hard work was interspersed with play for members, who offered their time in running an environmental booth at the State Fair and took in the midway as well. Spending a fall Saturday of body-surfing, football, beach combing and eating at Road's End brought pleasure to members. The Earth Week Recycla-thon raised much-needed funds for the group's recycling operation. HELP competed in the nationwide, Keep America Beautiful contest and rated highly, ending its fourth year as first runner-up.
