Jyri thoroughly enjoyed Dallas and hoped to see more of the U.S. following school dismissal. A third guest was Claudio Bonato who came to D.H.S. as a Rotary Exchange student at midterm.

 lettermen Benefit game money-maker Only occasionally making their presence known, the lettermen of Dallas fought the school-wide problem of apathy among students and participated in fewer programs than in the past. Highlights of the year included the traditional fall, winter and spring desserts, at which time special recognition and letters were presented to members. These evenings were well attended and gave athletes an opportunity to review both good and bad times of the season just ended. A new Lettermen sponsored activity was the K.G.W. No-Stars -Faculty basketball game which raised some $300.00 for the members. The affair was well attended by students and adults alike, and drew much favorable response. Year's end brought the annual picnic in the park. This highly popular affair was the opportunity to work off a year of tensions and fill themselves with goodies.
