The juniors put forth another goodly number of boys to make positions on the team. These were the boys that did their best for the team: Brice Breiner, Jim Cochran, Jim Eichhorn, Bob Mutschler, Kenneth McConnell, Ronald Pierce, Bob Ray, and Floyd Reed. This year track made its appearance into D. H. S., and several boys from this class made their appearance on the course in cleats to jockey for a posi- tion. They are Bill Bumgardner, Howard Foreman, Jerry Leitz, Manfred Melchi, and John Spahr. This year the girls were really put to work. A commando class, as it was called, was drawn up and every junior had to participate. Their achieve- ments were to do different gymnastics and to take hikes. They also had to take a first-aid course. At the end of the year, if they achieved certain time limits on different obstacles, they were given an achievement card. This year the junior class was eligible for the Glee Club. About a third of the class turned out and their efforts were rewarded by their annual pro- gram and by playing a major part in the pageant. This year the pageant took the place of the operetta, junior class play, and the senior class play. The junior class this year did very well as it did in the) years gone by. It is hoped that they will continue to do as m.uch in their remaining year.

SHORT AND TALL On September 8, 1942, seventy-eight boys and girls entered the halls of good old D. H. S. for their eleventh year of scholastic training. This year these boys and girls hove a much grimmer determination in their school work, for Americrr i ' engaged in a war and everybody is doing everything possible to bring home victory. After many adjustments and readjustments of the class Mr. Brown put forth on announcement that the class would organize. Under the sponsorship of Miss Lewton the class elected Paul Moore, president; Floyd Reed, vice pres- ident; Jim Eichhorn, secretary; and Junior Kaehr, treasurer.

They are Pauline Brintzenhofe, Marjorie Schnepf, Kenneth McConnell, John Spahr, Melvin Thieme, Lillian Koenemann and Alice Owens. Now let ' s look at the athletic side of the class.
