The problems ot the junior class are lightly discussed by Earl Brom- er, president, and Bill Christen, vice-president. Is it possible that the lowly fi-eshmen of two years ago have actually become upperclassmen ? Yes, by following the class motto, The road called toil leads to the city called success, and by carry- ing their banner of blue and silver onward, that group steadily climbed upward to become the junior class of 1940. This class of one hundred and one members, the largest in the senior high school, was well represented by hard workers in all the activities of D. H. S. The first step the juniors took was the organ- ization of the class. Miss Lewton was chosen to guide them in their activities. The officers elect- ed to assist her were as follows: Earl Bromer, president ; Bill Christen, vice-president ; Margaret Moses, secretary ; Kathryn Shroyer, treasurer. The juniors then proved their belief in their motto by displaying a remarkable scholastic abil- ity. Fourteen members of the class appeared on the honor roll. They were Elbert Fuhrman, Earl Bromer, Grace Grether, Richard Goldner, Anita Stolp, Kathleen Foreman, Phyllis Kolter, Annis May Merriman, Mildred Sovine, Richard McClena- han, Alice Yost, Martha Macy, Mary Frank, and Lydia Frosch. Juniors! Well I ' ll be- The boys made up a little for their absence on the honor roll by their presence on the playing field. On the gridiron we found the following juniors: Bernarr Granger, Harold Johnson, Leon- iel Davidson, Earl Bromer, Fred Schamerloh, Jos- eph Hazelwood, Howard Gehrig, Harrison Hakes, Richard Maloney, Ted Eady, Kenneth Chilcote, Bill Christen, Max Drake, Richard Green, George Werst, and John Rickord. The basketball team contained six members of the class. Fred Schamerloh, Kenneth Chilcote, John Krick, Harold Johnson, Joseph Hazelwood, and Richard Maloney were the boys who burned up the floor and helped make the games the ex- citing events they were. On March 28 the juniors exhibited more of ' their untiring energy by presenting the play, All Work and No Play. The play was very unique in that the cast consisted of thirty members and was not only directed but also written by Mr. Ander- son. It depicted what takes place in the produc- tion and presentation of a typical junior class play. Due to Mr. Anderson ' s fine coaching, Miss Lew- ton ' s assisting hand, and the efforts of the cast the play was acclaimed as one of the most novel and entertaining ever presented in the history of the school. As a climax to the year ' s program the tradi- tional Junior-Senior reception was held May 17 in the auditorium. The proceeds of the play were used to finance this annual affair at which the juniors entertain the seniors and the faculty. Miss Lewton had charge of all the arrangements for this event. The program was enjoyed by all and it was indeed a fitting conclusion to a year of effort toward that final step in high school, the senior year. These two smiling young ladies are Margaret Moses, secretary, and Kathryn Shroyer, treasurer. First Row; Robert Ahr, Mary Arnold, Edith Bak- er, l=luth Virginia Baker.
