SASS Congratulations to Carl Beehler, who was the only sophomore to make the first team in basket- ball. Others who did a good job on the second team were Tom Ahr, Herman Andress, Don Harvey, Harold Nash, and Stanley McBride. The girls, not to be outdone by the boys, also went in for sports. They did many muscle-tiring exercises under the supervision of Miss Pumphrey, but they helped keep figures trim. Nearly every Friday night a girls ' basketball game was scheduled, but the sophomores were defeated by every class except the Freshman. Hoping to learn the arts of cooking and sewing, some of the girls enrolled in the Home Economics Club. Many boys were loyal supporters of the Howling Hosts, while the girls belonged to the Pep Champs. Eleven members of our class enjoyed the activ- ities of the band under the supervision of Mr. Selle- meyer. These were Harold Nash, who played the cornet; Tom Sharp and Colleen Edgell, the trom- bone; Dale Smitley and Mary Leitz, the baritone; Helen Baughman, the bass clarinet; Jean Hutker, the tenor saxophone; Kathryn Ann Edwards, the drum; and Anna Marie Steury, Dorothy Kohler, and Donna Jaberg, the clarinet. In looking over the past two years we feel that we have done our best, and we are looking for- ward to being Juniors next year in the halls of D. H. S. Twenty-seven

SOPHOMORE During the summer of 1944 we lost the name of Freshman Greenies, and on September 5, we be- came dignified sophomores although the upper classmen did not seem to think that the name dignified suited us too well. The class at this time had eighty-three members, thirty-two boys and fifty-one girls. This is five fewer than were enrolled in our freshman class. Tom Sharp, Don Harvey, and Dorothy Kohler are the new ones that joined our class this year. As soon as possible the first class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: Bill Lichtenstiger, president; Don Harvey, vice presi- dent; Ralph Sauer, secretary; and Nancy Bell, treasurer. Mr. Alger was chosen as our class spon- sor for the third consecutive year. Every Tuesday after a six-weeks period we all trudged down to his room to receive our report cards. As usual many were disappointed; others were very happy upon finding at least two A ' s and two B ' s on their cards which placed their name on the honor roll. Those attaining this honor were Dorothy Kohler, Wilma Merriman, Jeaninne Nelson, Eileen Thieme, Donna Jaberg, Bill Freeby, Monte Marbaugh, and Tom Ahr. When it came to sports, our class was well repre- sented. Herman Andress, Tom Ahr, Bob Boknecht, Carl Beehler, Don Harvey, Harold Nash, Stanley McBride, Gene Moser, and Bill Freeby were the boys who went out for football. Twenty-six

FRESHMAN At last we had arrived at the place v e had long striven for. We were Freshmen!!! Although we were called green, we were proud of the fact that we had finally reached high school. Our class was composed of eighty-four pupils — thirty-six girls and forty-eight boys. The officers were as follows: Presi- dent, Don Grant; Vice President, Ronny Ballard; Secretary, Bill Kingsley; Treasurer, Phyllis Kraft. The class sponsor was Mr. Ross. On the second basketball team were Bob McAlhaney, Bruce Baughn, Jack Reynolds, and Don Grant. To those who were for- tunate enough to make the first team we say, Congratulations! Ray Lehman and Ronny Bal- lard. Mr. Perry had excellent con- trol over his basketball boys, even in the halls between class- es. Among those on the honor roll were Helen Kruecheberg, Med- ford Smith, June Teeple, Betty HoUingsworth, and Phyllis Kraft. It seems the Freshmen have not yet struck their stride in this rank. Again this year the band was blessed with a few of the proud freshies. These were Jane Daily, Bonnie Schieferstein, Karl- ann Striker, Anita Rentz, Ever- ett Hutker, Medford Smith, Jac- queline Warren, Phyllis Kraft, Ray Lehman, Norma Lammert, Connie Hill, Norma Wilson, and Eddie Mattax.
