BB nvEji ij G-S. A Senior (Class lliistuni IT HAS ALWAYS been the customary to have a History of the Senior Class written. We hope to prove that the Class of 1921 is the best class that has ever graduated from D. H. S. Consid- ering scholarship, the number of girls and boys that have taken part in athletics, good looks, veracity, pep and social activities, we believe we have a just claim on all the laurels offered us. The four chapters of our life in D. H. S. follow: CHAPTER 1. On September, 1917, the old bell of the Central School building rang out, loud and clear, and forty-six Freshmen answered its call. It was the last time that old bell summoned a new Freshman class because the next one entered the new building. We, the future class of ' 21, felt very important, until the upper classman smiling down at us, humbled our pride. Soon Mr. Sarig came to our rescue and helped us organize. We were then ready to attack our upper classmen, (especially the Sophomores) with the following officers: President, Victor Baltzell; vice president, Victoria Mills; secretary, Francis Costello; treasurer. Leo Kirsch. Pink and white were chosen as our class-colors and the sweet pea as the flower. After we had become accustomed to High School ways and our timidity had worn off, we held our first class party at Francis Costello ' s. Early in the spring another party was held at the home of Arthur Fruechte in the country. Our first attempt in athletics was successful. Pat Hyland, Cal Peterson and Winfred Maddy played on the baseball team. Victor Baltzell represented the class in the track meet. During the year ten of the class left us. Three of them join- ed the Boys ' Working Reserve — Glen Jackson, Vivian Carper and Glen Barkley. Thus ends our first year or the Year of Our Dis- covery in D. H. S. CHAPTER 11 We entered the new high school building the next fall feel- ing very much chargrined — our picture had appeared in the Annual the spring before in a beautiful shade of green. All of us decided to show everyone we were not quite so green and started to work very hard. Arthur Hyland was elected President of the class; Katharine Kocher, vice pregident; Lucille Butler, secretary, and Marcella Kern, treasurer. Miss Baker was chosen as our guardian. Two class parties were enjoyed that year; the first one at the home of Eleanor Reppert, the second at the home of Cleo Beavers in the country. Nothing very unusual happened that year because we were busy helping Julius Caesar, who was having a terrible time to conquer omne Gallia. Victor Baltzell played on the Varsity Basketball team. Kathar- ine Kocher, Lucille Butler and Donna Parrish played on the Girls ' Varsity Team. We were all proud of Charles Downs who won the High School debate and also second place in the district contest. So ends the second chapter of our lite in D. H. S. CHAPTER III Even with all our past glories our Junior year was the best of all. As soon as we returned in the fall of ' 19 we immediately set to work. Pat Hyland was re-elected president; Victor Balt- zell, vice president; Lucille Butler, secretary, and Marcella Kern, treasurer. Miss Cook was chosen as guardian.
