Homecoming, as usual, was the event of the fall and we outdid ourselves this year. We cele- brated for a week, concentrating on making the usual activities of decorating houses, floats, and cars especially memorable. Of course, during this time we paid the same diligent attention to our studies, for homework was, as always, impossible to overlook. Throughout the year, for some reason, this problem seemed to invade each day. Perhaps it was because we also had the matter of classes and grades to contend with. However, we gained knowledge and learning from this daily conflict. Drama was another area in which we excelled. It took many long hours of rehearsals, but the reward of applause on opening night repaid us for our efforts. Suddenly it was winter, which ushered in the basketball season.

We were, perhaps, bored with summer and we were eager for the excitement of fall and its many activities. This attitude intensified the enthusiasm of the first football game — the prelude to a great season. Cat- Scratch Fever became the school slogan as we cheered our mighty Catamounts onto one victory after another. The only setback was a heartbreaking 9-0 loss to arch-rival Murray County, which only served to increase our pride and determination. We showed support in a variety of ways — through pep sessions, band practices, and game attendance, along with ex- tremely loud vocal participation. The combination ap- parently was highly successful, for not only did our team emerge as the North Georgia Champions, but we developed the closeness and togetherness which was to characterize the entire year.

The games provided us with an ex- cellent excuse for getting out of the house and seeing friends, as well as a reason for showing that DHS spirit. Winter was also the time for a special event in our lives — Sweetheart. Sweetheart consisted not only of Favorites, decorations, and the dance, but a general atmosphere of affectionate pride as we honored our- selves through deserving and beloved classmates. It belonged not only to those of us who had worked behind the scenes in preparation for the night, but one and all, for one of the unique qualities of Sweetheart was its ability to touch the hearts of everyone.
