COLOR WHEEL CLUB At the beginning of the 1946-47 school year, the Color Wheel Club was organized under the super- vision of Miss Kauffman. The members of the club elected the following officers: president, Stanley McBride; vice president, Dave Pollock; secretary- treasurer, Claire Mowery. At Christmas time the club worked with the other departments of the school in presenting the religious program. The large stained glass window, made by the Art Club, was used in the program. The club also painted Christmas scenes on two of the school windows. As usual the Art Club was busy painting the many signs for the sectional tournament. Large signs were made for each school participating in the tourney showing the school colors and school emblem. Decorations and scenery for the Spring Revue were important elements in the work of the Color Wheel Club during the year. Each art student entered the county American Legion Poster Contest advertising the sale of pop- pies made by the Veterans of World War I and World War II. In April, near the close of a laborious school year, the few students and their guests gathered in the Home Economics Room where they held their an- nual supper dance.

HOME-EC CLUB The Home Economics Club of D. H. S. was re-organ- ized at the beginning of the school term. The follow- ing girls were elected officers: Mary Leitz, president; Helen Baughman, vice president; Anna Marie Steury, secretary; and Donna Jaberg, treasurer. The activities of the Home-Ec Club are many and varied. The first activity this year was supplying the help to work in the canteen at the football games. The little women also served at the annual band banquet. A very interesting and entertaining musical chapel was sponsored by the Home-Ec Club this season. Something different was offered this year by the Club. A Senior and Faculty Tea was given after school in the Home-Ec room. Another tea of the same type is being planned for this spring. The Home-Ec girls also have many activities in the classroom. The first semester the girls learned the art of cooking. Many delightful confections were made by both the beginning and advanced classes. Even some first-class cakes were turned out. The second semester sewing machines started whirring and many smart fashions were produced. But, besides just sewing the garment the girls first learned what goes into its mak- ing. All this is very good, but none of it could be ac- complished well without the guiding hand of their able instructor, Miss Worthman. Top Row, L. to R.: Ellen Hart. Barbara Guilder, Carolyn Baughn.
