Junior Class History Hats off to those who played on the diamond: Everett Arthur, Bill Marbough, and Charles Peterson. It must be admitted that not many juniors made the track team, yet Bill Bromer represented us well. Girls ' basketball flourished this year and even organized into the Friday night group some very energetic players who couldn ' t get rid of all that surplus steam in class. At the beginning of the year there were exercises of every sort and the girls performed them faithfully, in fervent hope that the bending and twisting and jerking would result in some good. Volley ball was also popular among these female commandos, and it must be admitted that they were pretty good players, at that. During the achieve- ment tests, everyone was taxed to his greatest ability; but we had the satisfaction cf knowing that most of our ratinas were high, as compared to many ether schools in different districts. All through the story of the eynoriences and achievements of the junior class of ' 45 there runs a strain of enthusiasm and D ' oareEsiveness for which we may be croud. To th ' s con be added a oatriotic fervor, born by the troubled conditions of our country, v hich have aided us to show in the oast not only love to our native land but also love to our Alma Mater. We are proud of these attitudes, and we trust them to direct us toward further achieve- ment in our senior year. Twenty-nine

We are presenting a class — a large and illustrious class — the juniors of ' 44. The years have hurried by so rapturously that it seems virtual- ly impossible that in one more year the portals of dear old D. H. S. will close on our high school career and these noble halls of learning will echo upon our graduation, And so another class is permanently dismissed for great accomplishments. We have had a busy and happy year under the wise and kindly supervision of our sponsor, Miss Lewton; and our student group of eighty-two mem- bers elected capable officers to assist her in every way. The honorable president, Donnabelle Roop; vice president, Virginia Hutker; secretary, Gloria Striker; and treasurer, Leo Borne have all performed the functions of their respective offices well. And here are those whose scholastic attainments placed their names on the honor roll: Rosamond Graham, Leona Holle, Patricia Kitson, Anita Koene- man, Margery Linn, Jane Maddox, Kathleen McCon- nell. Bill Marbaugh, Donnabelle Roop, Edna Mae Schultz, Vera Steury, and Ronald Stucky. Now for the sports line-up. We are very proud of our gridiron heroes. Those in the stampeding line-up were Everett Arthur, Robert August, Bill Bromer, Barney Brooks, Tom Colter, Dcnn Eichar, Bill Marbaugh, and Charles Peterson. We were represented on the regular team of basket-bawlers by Bill Bromer; and reserves were Barney Brooks, Tom Colter, and Donn Eichar. rwcnty-eight

Sophomore Upon consulting Webster ' s dictionary it is found that the word sophomore means the second year in a college, university, or high school; and it also means foolish. We agree on the first part of the definition, but we resent the second port; and upon reading the summary of the year ' s accomolishments of the sophomore class, Ave think you will see why. Shortly after school opened the sophomore class was organized. After much debate and voting, Melvin Taylor was chosen president; Jerry Ketch- um, vice president; Bill Porter, secretary and Bar- bara Hoblet, treasurer. Mr. Mumma was our spon- sor and was very well chosen and capable, as he had been the sophomore sponsor for six years pre- vious. During the year there was an honor roll, and those Thirty Class History who attained it were Richard Saylors, Frank Lundin Jr., Merritt Marbach, Betty Roeder, Barbara Hoblet, Leigh Nelson, Phyllis Teeter, Roger Schnepf, and Evelyn Frohnapfel. Getting on the honor roll was really an honor and took a lot cf work, and we were proud of those who made it. The sophomores were also social-minded and realized that being a good mixer was a great asset. Many participated in the Pep Champs and Howling Hosts and some in the Home Economics Club, Art Club, and band. The sophomores also did their bit to make the pageant a success. It is not to be over- looked that eight sophomore girls and eight boys were chosen to serve at the annual junior and senior banquet, and they became more sophisticated than the rest of us; but we soon caught up.
