We P25D767.., The year is 1979--We were having a vacation on Mars, with one of our fellow classmates, Larry Gaines, who was teaching the Martian people the ways of the universe and learning the facts of this great planet. The largest city is Groomsville, named after Earl Groom who is the first and last mayor. His private secretary is Sally Jewett, who is still waiting patiently for her husband-to-be, in McMorris, to get enough money from his Venus flight to get married. Our pilot and co-pilot, Lavelle Snider and Joan Thronson, notify us that it is 10 sec. to zero, time for the take-off, so we are soon on our way to Earth. We land at the Dayton Municipal Space Field, built by Karl and Karel Spaligger from the money they made when they split an atom with their chemistry set. We hail down a taximobile and recognize Marie Hatley at the controls. We stay at the Sueankeny Hotel, where doorwoman Joanne Chapman ushers us to the registration desk and Starlit Watts signs us in. On a trip through the town we find Bill Leid now joined up with the Liberace Troop, re- placing the deceased George. Gossip columnist Judy Spoonemore asks us to join her for a cup of coffee, and we hear the latest scoops! She tells us that Lorena Pool is now co-starring with Albey Johnson in Gone With the Breeze , written by Estella Dudley. She also informs us that Charlene Hubbard is en- tertaining the troops at Bolles Jimction, with Lloyd Bender as her tapping partner. Leslie Wallace is now owner of the Powers Modeling School for Men, with Doug Lambert as her number one model. Mary Ann Basel, as head of the Hudson Motor Co. , recently signed Mary Ellen Gowing for the singing commercial on their new T. V. show. The star attraction is The Four Jewels , a quartet of trumpets played by Edith Breedlove, Maralyn Payton, Janice Startin and Erma Whitney. Another scoop was that Clarence Bauman is working for the F. B. I. as.confidentia.l investigator. Faye Tewalt is cooking for the cowboys on her husband's cattle ranch. Marilyn Fletcher, with head nurses Diane Sinkbeil and Diane Black is operating a nursing home for disabled boxers. Betty Whybark is teaching Home Economics at dear old D. H. S. - her most brilliant students, we learn, are Ruby Shelley's twin girls. After reminiscing about our former classmates we glance at om' atomic watches and see that it is time for the take-off for Mecury, our home planet. On arriving there we meet Bob Sleeman, our local newshound, who wants a write-up of our trip for the Daily Mercury . The Mercury Chrome band is on hand to play for usg members are JoAnn Magill, .Qi Thompson, Bill Brown, Louise Stairs and Glennis Burton. We are very tired, so Clifford Martin escorts us to our home at the Mercury Arms Hotel and Elaine Harvey, the proprietress, shows us to our rooms. We fall asleep, dreaming of the good old days at D. H. S. 15

Zfaae gan 'wad Men Z-4,455 7175702 . . In 1951 an eager group of freshmen registered for a new and exciting life as high school students. The future class of 55 , with Mr. Calvin Conley as advisor, was initiated by the class of 54 with a dance in the library basement. As freshmen, five boys turned out for football and basketball and three boys be- came boxers. Eighteen freshmen participated in the chorus and band. I.n their sophomore year an A squad yell leader and two majorettes represented the class, nineteen members played in the band and there were eleven in the chorus. The junior year brought many important projects. The class chose a standard class ring with a bulldog crest. It was hoped that this would enable future junior classes to receive their rings earlier and faster. Four one-act plays were presented so that more members could participate. The theme Some Enchanted Evening was a smash success at the Junior Promg murals for the decorations were painted by Mary Ellen Gowing and Al Johnson. As seniors the class had a new advisor, Mr. Everett Lindaas. Lloyd Bender was named most inspirational football player and also was named as an outstanding basketball player. Susan Ankeny again represented the class as the A squad Yell Queen, and Diane Sinkbeil continued as a majorette. Before graduation, money for the senior sneak at Bingham Springs was earned by selling the ever-popular hot dogs and cold drinks at basketball games. The senior play, Once and For All , was presented in a new, dramatic setting and proved to be very entertaining. At last, the warm security of high school was stripped away, and the seniors faced once again, a new life. Many would go on to college, the army or navy, business careers or marriage, but all of them will always look back on the happy days at D. H. S. By Estella Dudley, Senior Editor 14
