Members of the senior class take advantage of the study center. SENIORS This year, long anticipated by the whole senior class, was extremely exciting and active. The seniors spent many long but happy hours working on their float, entitled Bee Victorious, and decorating the gym for the Homecoming Dance. The theme for the dance, Autumn Leaves, in- cluded an array of multicolored streamers as well as castiron lawn furniture around the gym. In the fall, the seniors saw the performance Twelfth Night at the Guthrie Theatre. Many seniors, each giving a fine performance, were involved in the three one-act plays, If Men Played C rds as Women Do, Anastasia, and The Shoemaker's Wife . In the spring, the long awaited senior class trip, a marvelous week filled with joyful and memorable happenings, be- came a reality. Then graduation, the final goal, ended this eventful year. Members of the graduating class of 1969 would like to express their thanks first, to their parents, for their help and guidance throughout their school years; next, to Mr. Ailts and their advisors Mr. Wich- mann, Mr. Satovich, Mr. Schramm, and Mrs. Larson for their counsel; and finally, to the under- classmen of D.H.S. for their friendship through- out the years.

Their class party was an evening of roller skating at the Spicer pavilion. Many members of the ninth grade took part in such activities as junior high football, wrestling, and basketball. For the first time they were permitted to join such organizations as chorus, F.H.A., F.F.A., and G.A.A. GRADE NINE OFFICERS, L. to R.: D.

For their class party, the eighth grade with their advisors enjoyed a night of roller skating at Spicer. Many eighth graders have actively participated in such activities as band, junior chorus, basketball, and wrestling. LEAVE 'EM DEFENSELESS was the eighth grade's entry in the parade. For the homecoming parade, the seventh grade class produced this entry, BOIL 'EM OVER . The seventh graders experienced a big change this year when they left grade school and entered junior high. Under the supervision of Miss Catlin and Mr. Black, they built their Homecoming float as their first project and entitled it Boil 'Em Over . Rollerskating was chosen for entertainment as their first class party. Many members also participated in junior band and junior chorus. GRADE SEVEN OFFICERS, L. to R.: P. Ailts, President; B.

One of their major responsibilities is to make preparations for all the Homecoming festivities such as arranging the float and skit contests and obtain- ing a band for the dance. With the help and super- vision of the faculty, the Student Center has been greatly improved with such facilities as vending machines and tables for study purposes. The main project of the Student Council this year was the scheduling of more lyceums. These programs consisted of various types of educa- tional entertainment such as demonstrations, speech- es, and movies. ROW I, Front L. to R.: D. DeRuyter, S. Kaven. ROW II: S. Krogman, J.

Thus these students have first hand knowledge concerning the methods, handicaps, and rewards of the teaching profession. To remain a member in good standing, each student must spend one hour per week assisting the teacher of his choice. During the Parent Teacher Conferences in the fall, FTA members served coffee and cookies to both parents and teachers alike. From this ex- perience, these members were able to realize the importance of teacher-parent relationships. Due to the inclement weather and conflicting ac- tivities, the FTA did not sponsor an exchange as in the precious year. FTA ROW I, Front L. to R.: L. Bruns. P. Ferguson, N. Breitkreutz, D. M.

A cake with the names of old and new members on it was served at the reception following the induction ceremonies. NHS As in years past, the NHS held its induction ceremony for new members. At the ceremony, Mr. Banning Hanscom was the guest speaker and following the ceremony, a reception was held for the faculty, new and old members, and their par- ents. The four requirements for becoming NHS members are character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Members must maintain a 90 or above average throughout the year. In the spring the NHS, under the advisorship of Mr. Schramm, sponsored a literary magazine which consisted of themes, poems, and various other papers from all English classes.

In Septem- ber and October, the girls went bowling. For their Christmas party, after the G.A.A. girls, together with the F.H.A. members, had gone caroling, they had lunch and danced to records at the school. After most meetings, the G.A.A. members would play either trench ball, basketball, volleyball,or softball. The high light of the year was a camping trip in spring. This trip was very educational as well as entertaining. The activities for the school year closed with a picnic in Ramsey Park where the girls climbed hills, played games, and had a deli- cious lunch.

The members of the Danube Photo Club, learned much about photography and developing pictures this year. As members they had the opportunity to work in the dark room developing films, and reprinting and enlarging pictures. They could also use school equipment for special photographic projects. Some members of the club were school photographers who photo- graphed and developed pictures of school activities. Many of these pictures were used in the annual as well as in area newspapers. These club activities were supervised by Mr. Beihoffer. Pictured are Photo Club members, C. Lueck, L. Hassinger, and P. Roelofs looking at film and pic- tures which they have developed. 3?

Several members attended the FHA district meeting which was held in Glenwood. At Christmas the FHA’ers tried to cheer the older people around Danube by singing carols. In February the FHA held a dance in honor of the new FHA Honey , Glenn Bulthuis. To earn money this year, the club sold Betty Crocker Cook Books, entitled Ground Beef and Outdoor Cooking. In May the junior and senior members took a trip to Minneapolis to visit several interesting places related to home-making. FFA The Danube Chapter of the Future Farm- ers of America has been especially busy this year. Early in the fall they held a Mom and Dad's Night at which time they announced the Green Hands and Chapter Farmers. Again this year, they played basketball, competing with neighboring FFA clubs.

The Junior Class play, Pollyanna , was presented at the Danube High School on May 1 and 2, 1969. This is a comedy involving a little freckled face mission girl, whose mother has died two years ago and now her father dies leaving her an orphan. Upon this incident she is sent to her Aunt Polly's house where she is totally unwanted. Even though she is unwanted she brings happiness to her house, Mr. Pendleton's house and the village by her glad game . JUNIOR CLASS PLAY POLLYANNA By Catherine Chrisholm Cushing I'm so glad! See the rainbow, Jimmy?' Here's to the jet locket—long may it hang 1 THE SHOEMAKER'S WIFE: On table: C. Lueck. Standing: R. Shanahan, K. Kraft. Three one-act plays were given by senior high students this year. The plays were performed for the student body one afternoon. The plays were: Anastasia , The Shoemaker's Wife , and If Men Played Cards as Women Do . The one-act play Anastasia was taken from the full length play of the same title, which is about Anna Anderson’s fight to be rightfully recognized as the Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia. The scene showed her trying to obtain this recognition from the Dowager Empress of Russia, supposedly her grandmother. The Shoemaker's Wife was a farce about a man who doubted his wife's love for him. By pretend- ing to be dead he hoped to find proof of her love. His wife realized what her husband was doing, so she pretended that his death made her happy. If Men Played Cards as Women Do depicted a group of men at a bridge table who spoke, behaved, and thought as women are supposed to dO) during a bridge game. SERIOUS INTERPRETATION, Front: G.
