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.

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

FOLLY Heading the most treasured subjects to us were Freshman Chorus and English. Mr. Ross was both good and reliable as a sponsor. He was also a very good English teacher. We had a few new-ccmers in our plas«.

We are happy to say that none, thus far, have been taken from us either by sickness or other- wise. Although there have been a couple of accidents, none were serious. As you know we were called greenies. We admit we were a little green at some things, but not all. When it came to social activities in school, we were a bit timid, but in a little while we became accustomed to the finer points. We were sure to acquire more end more sophisti- cation as time went on. If you noticed the baffled looks on our faces as we strolled from our biology class, you may be sure Mr. Adams had been handing out some of his knowl- edge. The class was eager to learn, but was at its wit ' s end when Mr. Adams used freely his repertory of mile-long words. This year began our journey which will lead us at the end of four years, to the place where we can exclaim, We came, we saw, we conquered, (Vini! Vidi! Vici!). Row Five: Bonnie Schieferstein, Keith Schnepp, Anna Schwartz, Robert Shackley, Don Slusher. Row Six: Medford Smith, Calvin Smitley, Gladys Stetler, Kathryn Stevens, Karlann Striker.
