September 2 Brought Freshmen to DHS Second semester, the freshmen didn't sign up for new classes, but continued work under the same teachers. Payments and routine mat- ters were taken care of in 117 before they started their new semester's work. Lining up for program cards took freshmen to study halls. In September 1960, DHS welcomed its last class of freshmen. On their first day, the stu- dents came to attend the orientation meeting in the auditorium. Here they learned about the layout of the school, school customs, rou- tines, and what was expected of them as freshmen. Mrs. Price welcomed her homeroom the first day and explamed the procedures.
