On their way to an important class meeting are the Senior class officers. They are: Ardell Tepfer, President; LaVonne Hoekstra, Secretary-Treasurer; and Lyle Jahnke, Vice- President. They, with their classmates, had a huge quota to meet, for the entire class planned a trip via railway to Washington D.C. Their other projects during the Senior year included the class play, Girl Shy , a comedy, the Carnival which was supervised by the Seniors and their advisors, Mr. Poissant and Mr. Orr; and other fund-raising projects such as monthly bake sales, magazine and Christmas card sales, consession stands at games, and a Style show in the Spring. Our final goal, graduation on May 27, came sooner than expected by most of the class. It is with regret the Seniors leave D.H.S. with all its memories but they look forward to the future and its possibilities. First Row: M. Shubert, P. Penke, S. Fischer, B. Hirman, J. Wacek, C.

They are: Donnelly Jahnke, President; Eurdine Tepfer, Vice President; Carol Roelofs, Treasurer; and Carol Schafer, Secretary The Sophomores in their first year of Senior High School, had a very busy, yet successful year. Their Home- coming float which they con- structed with the aid of their advisors, Miss Schmitz and Miss Lee, contributed beauty to our parade. They also sponsored several parties which added to their memories of 1958. First row: R. Zaske, B. Reek, J. Malecek, R. Brouwer, 0. Kurtz, 0. Zaske, A. Wertish, H. Zaske, L. Fischer, K. Bruggers, P.

Their second step in Junior High flew by too fast for these eighth graders. Many took active parts in extra- curricular activities includ- ing Homecoming. They with their advisors, Mrs. Poissant and Mr. Black also sponsored some very interesting parties. First row: 0 L. Poortvliet P. Dykema, S R. Malecek, Mr. Hal ii day, G. Jensen, C. I. Weigel, J. N.

'even Although they lost their way many times at the begin- ning of the year, the seventh graders soon adjusted to Junior High School. They made a beautiful Homecoming float with the help of their advis- ors, Mrs. O'Neil and Mr. Halliday. They lost all previous fears and accomplished many tasks during 1958. tyuute One tyuztU 7 M - 76 ee tyuuU 'paux-Stx Seated: K. Gens, A. Tepfer, Mr. Ward, E. Machacek, L, Jahnke, Standing: L.

Each monthly edition contains news, fashions and a variety of humorous and interesting articles. A mistake is spotted and must be corrected!! Each stencil that is typed must be carefully checked before i t can be run off on the mimeograph machine.

Through-out the year the band was in the eye of the public many times. Homecoming is one of our main events to show off our talents. We work hard and try to make our performance tops. We try our best to help enter- tain the spectators during the half- time of the athletic events. During the year we also put on our annual music concert with the chorus. In the spring we work hard to make our contest number the best so we can rate an A . Now seniors, the girl's trio will have completed four successful and enjoyable years of singing together. The girls, Karen and Karol Gens and Carol Yock, have sung for many occasions such as showers, P.T.A. programs, receptions and concerts. Each year they have entered the district music contest; each year they received an A rating. At the state contest they received a B rating when they were freshman and also when they were juniors, and an A rating when sophomores, one of the greatest thrills in their career. The newly organized group of Flag Twirlers has not only contributed additional entertainment at the Basketball games at which they have performed but also presented a spec- tacular sight in the Homecoming parade. Much cooperation and many hours of practice on the part of these girls is required to make possible these performances. They are, left to right: M. Martin, L. Manthei, M. Mellema, J. Abrahamson, H.

Mr. Lowell Caldwell, who preferred just Lowell, was foremost a family man, a father of five, and this pretty much sums up his chief purpose in life—that of making his family comfortable and happy. He did this not only by establishing a paying business, but also by bringing much happiness and laughter through his personality, not only to his family but also to all who knew him. He was respected by all, probably because of his outlook on life, an outlook which certainly could be copied by many. He took life in stride—smiIing through good times as well as bad. He was a man with a tremendous amount of faith in people, in the comm- unity, and in his country. The following verse by Hal leek certainly describes Lowe11: Green be the turf above thee, Friend of our better days None knew thee but to love thee Nor named thee but to praise.
