TIIE CARDINAL VVith the aid of Miss Hyla llagley, their dear Junior teacher, they came through the third year better able to take up their duties as diguilied Seniors. Seniors-how much that word meant to them and how important they felt! At last they had advanced from the bottom almost to the top. One more year till the last home stretch, and that year llcw by like a fleeting dream. First, they organized the J'ell'ersonian Literary Society. At these meetings there were discussions on the latest topics, musical numbers, debates, and such things as broaden the intellect. Then came the Lyceum Course-very interesting programs given by some of the most talented people. The proceeds of these courses went to help make a cafeteria-the one desire of the pupils. And the Seniors were glad that it was Iinished before they left, because this meant having wholesome, hot food every day. lntermingled with the regular duties were the usual debating, public speaking, and read- ing contests, all of which were very interesting. This year they had some unusually good contestants, who worked hard for the laurels for D. H. S. As a diversion from the daily routine, the Seniors had their Iirst get-together party. This, as the name implies, was to make all better acquainted, and although late, it served the purpose, and was an example for all other classes to follow. This party was at D, H. S. on March the twenty-lirst. the llrst clay of spring, and perhaps this accounted for the joy that abounded, Then, too, for once every one ate to his heart's content. Now, as I draw to a close, I must give an account of the reception that the jolly Juniors gave the Seniors. This party is not likely to be forgotten, for they entertained in the best fashion yet: and games and refreshments l'll not give a list of, for 'fear you'll indulge in vain longings. Last came the Senior play. It was a howling success in every sense of the word, and Hollywood had nothing on our cast. Then with the help of the wisest of advisers and teachers, Miss Charles Anthony, most of us came safely through examinations, and the Class of '24, with Helen Cadwallader and Dow Cooley as leaders, ended one of the most successful sessions in the history of D. H. S. Each of the sixty graduates proudly carried away his diploma, for this was the end of eleven years of hard work, but in reality the beginning of life's journey. S fum fI3i:k M A N. 38

TFIE CARDINAL Senior Class History 1 52 N September the Iifteenth, in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty- 'Q9 one, a band of wanderers, commonly known as Freshmen, stopped in their Q course and decided to settle at D. lrl. S., the land of sunshine and happiness. They thought that surely now all tlieir worries were over, but lo! again they must suffer many hardships. Half of the colony at lirst almost died from exposure Cto the constant batterings of the Sophsl. and then, since they were always making blunders, they were the chief object of ridicu.le and mockery to the older settlers. They wanted no sympathy nor help in their troubles, but tried to keep up a stilffront, shoulder their burdens and work with a smile. However, they could not tolerate the term Rat which their elders bestowed on them, and from this name they shrank like the sun- flower from the rain. So they determined to work and make a name for themselves, and iinally, in the spring of l22 after many iriulx and lI'1ilJllfllll0llS, and after learning to be thrifty and after writing prize thrift essays. they assumed the name Soph, and thus entered their second year. Things were much better this year. Those who had formerly mocked them, seemed to shake their hands in admiration and to honor the name Soph. They were allowed to enter more of the activities and had more privileges. lt was a happy lot who joined the l-li-Y Club, for only he who has accomplished something can bye happy. They hiked, camped, and entered into all physical educational courses, so that they would be better lit and more able to reach their goal. Then in the midst of all these activities, a weak. tottering stranger came into their fold and asked for support, in return for which he would make them known to the outside world. Although weak, he was so loquaeious that they nicknamed him The Cllafferlnnx, and they all contributed to his welfare and protection. Sometimes they seemed to neglect him. but after being reminded they were back on the job, and treated him so well that he was soon on his feet and became one of their chief assets. Not only did these Sophs work for The C!1ailU1'l1o.r, but for the school as a whole, diligently and faithfully. till the close of their second year. Then, promoted a Step higher in rank and esteem, they became distinguished with the name of Ji-minr, and started on their third year, happy and proud. Again they bent to the wheel: work had no terrors for them. They were gaining- gaining ground and knowledge. They must reach the goal or die! Then came the fashion show and Old-fashioned Choir. W'hat fun they had preparing for the opening night! They showed their true talent and :esthetic qualities and put the show over the top. Later came some more fun, the Junior-Senior reception. They entertained their upper classmates and saw how it felt to be Seniors. Meanwhile, The C.'lu1IIvrlm.1' was sticknig to his promise and advertising them every- where. More people came to see the games and athletic contests, and D. lvl. S. was known as the school that did things! 37
