RAVELINGS SENIOR CLASS HISTORY CHAPTER I. In the fall of 1928 the freshman class started its eventful career in D. H. S. After entering, the eighty-two freshmen organized and elected the following officers : Ina Anderson, president ; Mary M. Coverdale, vice- president; Robert Brown, secretary; and Ethel Shady, treasurer. Miss Clark was chosen guardian of the class. During the year we were well represented in scholarship and ath- letics, leading D. H. S. in scholarship. In the latter part of the year the lower classmen gave a farewell party for the seniors. CHAPTER II. The fall of 1929 found us continuing our career as sophomores, hop- ing to graduate at the end of the next two years. At our class meeting we elected Olive Teeter, president ; Fred Musser, vice-president ; Helen DeVor, secretary; and Laura Lankenau, treasurer. We selected Mr. Richards, guardian. Our career as sophomores was excellent in regard to scholarship and athletics. At the High School party which took place February 7, the sophomores presented a clever act called The Old Family Album. CHAPTER III. This year (1930-31) we continued our career as upper classmen. The year started with a good deal of enthusiasm, and we were ready to do big things. The officers during the busy days of junior activities were: Ival Newhard, president; Dick Schug, vice-president; Louise Haubold, secre- tary ; and Mamie Niblick, treasurer. Miss Whalen was chosen as class guardian. We certainly made our presence felt in D. H. S. We were represent- ed in all school activities. We still led the school in scholarship. Ina Anderson, Marcella Brandyberry, Laura Christen, Mary Coverdale, Betty Franklin, Lucille Johnson, Lorna McGill, Mamie Niblick, Ethel Shady and Ruth Winnes represented us in basketball. Dick Schug, Edward Martz, and Betty Frisinger were on the debating team. Carl Hurst, Otis Baker, Richard Parish, and George Helm held important positions on the foot- ball squad. The junior class play, Take My Advice, was chosen and under the direction of Miss Whalen was successfully given before large crowds on April 9 and 10. The proceeds went toward the annual Junior-Senior Re- ception which was held at the Country Club, May 15. Our career this year was successful in every way. We had many joyful times. We were all looking forward to our last year in D. H. S. which would bring us to our destination, Graduation. CHAPTER IV. In the fall of 1931 the senior class continued the eventful career in D. H. S. which ended at Graduation in May 1932. Our greatest ex- pectations have been fulfilled. Twenty-eig-ht.
