One day my friend and I were kind of short on money and wanted to play golf. We crawled under the fence and went on and played anyway. Everything was going fine but the scores. We got to the last few holes and I was ahead of my friend. An official stopped me and asked me if I had my ticket to show I'd payed. Being an honest man I said no, that when we came there wasn't anyone at the desk so we went on. He then asked us not to play again without paying. Mr. Phelps is our J.V. coach and teaches Science, Health, and P. E. Mr. Bowden does more than just teach Science here at DSHS.

 I came in 3rd in the 880 yd. run while attending SWU in Memphis, Tennessee. They put us on stands like in the Olympics and as I was being presented my medal, I turned around and vomited!! Coach Manas- co is the athletic director of DSHS and al- so teaches P. E. and Drivers Education. My most embarrassing moment in col- lege occurred during my senior year when I was caught mocking one of my business teachers. This teacher was an older lady who had a very bad habit of using the ex- pression Don't ya see” and at the same time using hand gestures. My cousin and I were in the same class and thought it would be fun to see how often she did it in one period. It was fun til we were caught and confronted before the class. Mrs. Holland teaches Business Math, Account- ing, Typing, and co-sponsors the 8th grade class. At Western, there was one big shower room in the middle of each floor. One day I took my shower at mid-morning, my roommate, for the first time, decided to attend all his classes. He left and locked the door. All I had taken with me were the necessities. When I returned, the door was locked, so I had to sit in the hall about 30 minutes till another friend of mine let me sit in his room. I stayed there for 2 hours still waiting for him to come back!! Mr. Nallia teaches History, and is the co-sponsor of Sr. Beta Club, Jr. Class. 18

My sophomore year saw many humor- ous and embarrassing situations, but my blind date with J. Strange had to be the most unusual. He certainly lived up to his name. He's the only guy I ever dated who came to get me in faded blue jeans, flannel shirt, farm boots, and a white Stetson hat. (That doesn't sound unusual to students now-a-days, but at that time it was considered freakish.) To make matters worse, I had worn a dress for once! The highlight of the evening was when I dodged earthworms that had crawled up on the sidewalk, to avoid hold- ing hands with this guy!! Miss Hazlewood is an English and Spanish teacher. She sponsors Jr. Beta Club, Senior class and is our beloved yearbook advisor!!! One of the most embarrassing things to happen to me in college was in '73. I was playing the part of the Devil in the annual production of Campus Lights . During the 2nd act, I was supposed to come out on stage sing a song harrass everyone. In rehearsals, I always picked up a desk-chair threw it across the stage. The last night of the play I picked one up that had someone in it. As I threw the chair, the person iq it fell out the chair went over the stage into the aud- ience. The show wasn’t a total wreck un- til I went truckin' across the stage nearly fell off myself!!!! I lived on the 6th floor of a dorm that had outdoor balconies. Each night from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. the door at the bottom of the outside stairwell connecting the balconies was locked no one was al- lowed to use them. To be sure that no one broke this rule the campus police kept a close watch. My room was only a few steps away from the balconies--even in my sleep. I was very surprised one morn- ing to find myself outside about 2 a. m. in the morn!! 20
