A group of Freshmen (76 to he exact) walked into Dalton High School, in the early part of September, 1942. They were innocent as new-born lambs, but it didn’t take them too long to follow the lead of the learned Seniors. The class officers were: Harold Gale- house, President; Harold Douglas, Vice-President; Doris Amstutz, Secretary; Ruth Poorman, Treasurer; John Mc- Farren, Sgt.-at-Arms; Miriam Wertz, Stanley Gerber and Dick Smith, Student Senate. In the early part of October the Seniors gave the Freshmen their reception, which was their formal ac¬ knowledgment as full-fledged high school students. They weren ' t too hard on us. We had a class hay-ride and welner roast at Gladys Nlckles ' home. In September, of 1943, we started our second year of high school. We had lost a few of our former members and gained a few new members, but we were now down to 63. Our class officers this year were Stanley Gerber, President; Harold Douglas, Vice-President; Glenna Clap¬ per, Secretary; Donald Moser, Treasurer; Donna Wertz, Elizabeth Withrick, and Dick Smith, Student Senate. We had a party which we planned as a weiner roast and hay- ride, but finally climaxed as a party in the auditorium. We were now half way through our high school days. Our group had dwindled to a class of 50 Juniors. Our class officers were John McFarren, President; Jeannette Miller, Vice-President; Ruth Poorman, Secretary; Stan¬ ley Gerber, Treasurer; Jackie Cope, Harold Douglas, and Harold Galehouse, Student Senate. Now past the giddy, silly stage--a little more ma¬ ture in high school life—we had the privilege of hav¬ ing one of the cheerleaders, Jeannette Miller, in our class. She did her stuff to make our pep-meetings and games louder and better. The Junior Class play, presented on November 5,was a great success. We had a full house. Everyone knew his or her part perfectly and the entertainment between the acts was also very much appreciated. We ordered our class rings after we came back from Christmas vacation and kept hoping they would arrive during the school year so we could show them off, but no luck--they did not arrive until June first. Then came the Banquet. V e worked hard for several weeks to make it a success. We had the auditorium deco¬ rated as a Mexican Garden, and used a few of the Sopho¬ more boys as Mexican peons who sat along the floor with big sombreros and blankets. The Banquet was prepared by the Home Economics Department and served by the Sophomore girls. We now were ready for the Baccalaureate Service. Jeannette Miller and Stanley Gerber led the Seniors to their places in the Auditorium followed by the Juniors. This is the second time we assisted with Commencement activities—may be so we would know how to act when our time came. Now for our big year . ' We were very glad to welcome Miriam Nussbaum into our class after a year ' s absence due to illness. We lost Doris Amstutz who moved to Orrville, and Robert Patterson who enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces. Our class officers were Harold Doug¬ las, President; John McFarren, Vice-President; Ruth Poorman, Secretary; Herbert Nussbaum, Treasurer; Alvin Buchwalter, Dick Smith, and Donald Weygandt, Student Senate members. First came the school paper. We were all excited about it and we had reasons to be. We had to take up where last year Seniors left off. Dalton now had a football team, which was something added to our school activities. We had all three of the Cheerleaders in our class—Jeannette Miller, Jackie Cope, and Ruth Poorman. We also had quite a few of our boys out for football and five were out for Varsity basketball. Continued on page 11 SEPTEMBER 2 Registration 3 School began.
