Qgxezbr pfass glzgfviorg At last, this group of young junior high graduates was entering high school. What a thrilling way to end the summer. Yes, the class of '48 entered the halls of D.C.H.S. on September 7, 1944. They arrived fairly worse for wear from the trials and ,tribu- lations of the preceding initiation week, but they were awed and amazed at .first at the upper classmen's behavior in the halls. After the first week they finally settled down and got into the swing o.f things. The class officers were .Tack Baker, Pat Feisthamel, .Tean Aikins, and Shirley West. Before they knew it, the first year was over and that long awaited vacation was there. ' Their sophomore year started with a bang and they were soon so busy they thought it impossible to keep track of the time, yet they weren't so busy that they couldn't find time to enjoy themselves. They'll probably never forget the swell class party they had that year with the 'Truth or Consequences' program. Everyone had a hilar- ious time, especially when Jack Baker had a pie thrown in his face by Lynn Caldwell and Pat Runnie. That year Falle Nelson, Bernie Heinrich, Shirley West, and Pat Runnie were the class officers. The next year they were juniors and at last could strut around the halls and tell the lower classmen what to do fthey thought - ahem.J. Falle Nelson, Ralph Knutson, Joan Johnson, and Pat Feisthamel were chosen as the class offiaers. As soon as school was under way and they had settled down to their studies, they immediately began planning projects to raise money. They sponsored dances after games and sold pencils with the football and basketball schedules on them. On top of all this planning for money came more planning for the Prom and voting for class rings. The Prom, the year's most important social affair,was held on April 25, The juniors had worked very hard and their efforts had bhrought forth a colorful result in the form of a garden scene. Well over a hundred couples went, and everyone had a wonderfultime. Soon afterwards the school year came to a close with all the cere- monial events for the graduating class, and for the juniors moving over to take their places. Now they were on their final step. September of '47 brought them back to school. They were the same class except for a few new faces. Some were a little older, others' looks had changed, but they still had that same stand up and fight spirit. At once officers were chosen. They were: Falle Nelson, Bill Kelly, Joan Johnson, and Pat Feisthamel. They started to work right away and made plans for this, their final year. Several members of the senior class were chosen to represent different organizations- on the Student Council. Among them were: Tommy Hanrahan, who was elected President of that organization, Dolores Murphy, Tom Bleakly, John Bergland, Sam Lonning, Donna Haggerty, Flor- iene Palmer, Ralph Knutson, Jack Baker, Diane Baker, Shirley West, Don Holiday, and Merle Sandstrom were the other members. Before they realized how time was flying, Christmas came into Sight, so they started selling their Christmas cards, one of their biggest money-makers for the class. Work was begun on the annual and everybody was busy. Then came the order- ing of announcements and cards, So soon? Yes, the time fairly flew by. Next came the Prom and the Hop with all their hours of work and short hours of enjoyment, yet everyone had aglorious time. The class play was next on the agenda and they'll never forget the hours of work and worry they went through putting that on. Immediately following, came the senior banquet and then class night. What a hectic week that last week had been with all its practices for this and that. A Finally the big night came. Knees shook and hands trembled while they sat on the stage remembering all these things and thinking this thought: Will I really be so glad to get out o.f school and be away from all my friends and classmates? Only time will answer their question. .
