The new building thoroughly complete and equipped stands ready to face its future as does the senior with the shining equipment of his high school education. The high school education is not the be-all or end-all of a senior ' s future existence but it is at least the first goal attained toward a future success.

The Senior Class JAY ALTON Jay, being the smallest boy In the senior class, had to put up with a lot, l)ut that didn ' t seem to bother his tennis in the least. MARY ANDREWS Mary was one of our quiet seniors. Although she hailed from the country, she is now a full- fledged city-gii-l. THOMAS ANDREWS Seniors never lirag you know. Therefore we announce that Tom is one of the smartest pupils in D. H. S. Of course he studied — and we didn ' t. KATHLEEN BANNING Kate , a country lass, was also studious. Her hobby was art and she wishes to become a nurse. RICHARD BEACHLER Richard was a new l)oy in our school this year but we always welcomed his kind with open arms. Hailing from the country, Richard was rather shy but he soon got over that. BERNIECE BEINEKE Curly was interested in many things here in school, but we had reasons to lielieve that most of her time was devoted to her main attraction in Mouroeville. LOUIS BLEEKE Louie was our class Romeo. He was also photography editor for the Ravelings. Better watch out, kiddies, Louie is a sure thing when it comes to getting odd pictures. GWEN BLUM Gwen, another country lass, had a mania for typing. Maybe that ' s why her name ranked high on the typing lists and why she was typist on the Ravelings staff. IMOGENE BRIGHT Jean , believed that she had all the qualifica- tions for becoming an air hostess, We ' re all hop- ing she makes it. HELEN BRINTZENHOFE Here was another quiet senior. However, when anything is to be done, Helen never refused to do her part. As to her future, she is undecided. MEREDITH CLINE Mope , the proud father of Zeke, was the senior flash on the tennis team. This red-head was also referred to as our class treasurer. AUDREY CROSBIE Audy , the girl of many deeds, won all our hearts through her nonsense. She had one teach- er whom she liked to tease. We can ' t reveal his name, Init his initials are — Mr. Anderson. DON DEATH Don had many things to do in his high school career. He won fame by leading yells for three seasons and this year was chosen president of the senior class. MAXINE DE BOLT Small liut mighty just fitted Maxine. Small enough in class to escape recitation and mighty sleepy. MARION DRUM Skating was Marion ' s hobby. He really strut- ted himself at the senior skating party. Marion ' s voice wasn ' t so Ijad either. He has a chance at two good occupations right there.
