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.

SPEECH P. H. A. A V The Speech Club, composed of 22 members from th e Junior and Senior classes have had a very active year under the supervision of Mrs. Keirn. Eighteen of the Speech Club members went to the Little Theatre Guild of Canton to see the play, ’’State of the Union,” a satire of V ashington politics anda take-off on the Presidency. A skit was put on by the members for the benefit of the student body to advertise the Dalton-Doyles town foot¬ ball game. This time 19 of the members of the Speech Club went to Taylor Hall at Wooster College to see the play, The Late George Apley.” On November 12 a meeting was held and John McFarren resigned as President of the club. Nominations were made and Donald Vveygandt was elected the new club presi¬ dent. A humorous skit was presented by Harold Gale- house and Richard Coffman. Another on the same order was given by Donald VVeygandt, Edgar Geiser, and Harold Douglas. Tryouts were made for the play which was pre¬ sented by the club the night of their Program. On January 24, the Speech Club presented Ghost Farm, a one-act mystery comedy. The parts were very well acted and the stage managers did much to help make the play a success. The same night, declamations, de¬ bates, musical numbers were also presented. There was a good crowd and the club took in !|79.20. The P.H.A. Club has an enrollment of 34 members. It is under the supervision of Miss Kathryn Seager. The aims and objectives of this organization are to work toward a good home, a family life for all, to promote interest in Home Economics, and to encourage friendship and cooperation among ut ' s members. During the year the girls served light refreshments at the home basketball games. They have a clut meeting every third Monday evening of each month, with refresh¬ ments and entertainment afterwards. A Bl-county meeting of Holmes and Wayne counties was held at the Dalton High School to elect county officers. A program was much enjoyed afterwards virlth skits and musical nvunbers given by different schools. A Regional meeting was held at Alliance and five pupils from the Home Ec. Club represented Dalton. Eve¬ lyn Franks was elected regional secretary. They plan to serve light lunches to the grade school for a week to earn money for a week-end trip in the spring The officers of the F. H. A. Club are as follows; Glenna Clapper, President; Gladys Nlckles. Vice-Presi¬ dent; EvelynPhanks, Secretary; Donna Steele, Treasurer; Carol Beech, Reporter; Joyce Simon, Song Leader. Twenty-five students learned Declamations this year. An elimination contest was held on March 7 at the High School with teachers as judges to determine the stu¬ dents that would represent D. H. S. in the county tour¬ nament. The results were as follows: Humorous Declamations: Little Mabel by Mary Jeanne Smucker, George Washington Slept Here by Marlene McKee. Dramatic Declamations: Lady with the Lamp by Ruth Poorman, Honey by Miriam Wertz. Oratorical Declamations: The Children ' s. Hour by Jackie Cope, American Citadel by Tom Shank. In the county tournament Donna Dale Rupp, Marlene McKee, and Richard Coffman (Poetry Reading) were chosen to go to Columbus on March 28 to compete in the State. There the results were most satisfactory for Donna Dale Rupp won a trophy as First in the State in Original Oratory and Marlene McKee also received a trophy as Second in the State in Humorous Declamations. We hope this interest in declamations will continue. You will see in the trophy case evidence that the debate teams did excellent work this year. They won first in the county tournament held at Shreve March 24 and went to Columbus to debate March 28. The subject was-Resolved: That the Federal Government should pro¬ vide a system of complete medical care available to all citizens at public expense. The affirmative team was Russell Stevie and Richard Coffman, and the negative team was Donna Dale Rupp and Donald Sommer. Congratulations.
