CC MISS SANDESON Senior dviscr J4 FRIEND is one who stands to share your every touch of grief and care -such a friend our Senior Adviser, Miss Sande- son, has been to us. VVith her ideals and assistance we, the Class of '30, are piloting the ship Success. K SENIOR CLASS SONG CUR SHIP SUCCESS Our ship leaves the harbor of D.H.S. To sail life's sea in calm or stress, The class of thirty as the pilot bold Is guiding this vessel to lands untold, Vve dream of deeds of valor and might, Our craft flies the colors Maroon and White, We have as our chart our lessons well learned, Our compass the honors that we have earned. CHORUS We're piloting the Ship Success, This loyal class of D. H. S. May our compass point us to deeds of right, Of justice and mercy and valor and might. VVe've spent many days in this Harbor of Peace And our words of praise can never cease, So with pleasant thoughts of days of yore, VVe leave this Harbor to return no more. We shall sail life's sea-some far-some near, But where e're we roam, we shall ever hold dear Our memories of the days spent in D. H. S. Our Teachers and friends-the dearest and best. LOUISE FOULK.
