HOWLING HOSTS Shortly after school start- ed the boys of D. H. S. banded together to organize once again the Howling Hosts. Our roster was well filled with freshmen, sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors. The election then followed; the results were as follows: Gene Moser, president; Jay Barnett, vice president; Don Grant, secretary; and Bill Lichtenstiger, treasurer. Mr. Andrews and Mr. Dailey were elected co- sponsors. Like all faithful members GROUP 1, Top Row Ray Lehman, Dave Moore, Jack Heller, Sheldon Daniels, Gerald Schultz.

IT ' S A CIRCUS And we of the 1947 Ravelings ' Staff hope that you enjoy it, and that you will have pleasant reminiscing in leafing through its pages at some future date. Our Snapshot Editors were blessed with new photographic equipment this year and gained considerable experience in the finer points of photography while covering the Four Rings of Fun at D. H. S. The Raveling ' s Photography Editoi ' s were able to transfer several of their responsibilities to the Snapshot Editors, since they were now capable of turning out professional work. Mr. Smith spent considerable time and effort in studying the possible re- sults with our new equipment and served as director and coach of our Staff photographers. Mr. Smith is also the author of the poetry found on several pages of this book. Every circus has a serious side, but we were kept happy by the competent manner in which our Business Staff, under Miss Worthman ' s capable supervision, managed our financial relationships. The varied athletic activities of D. H. S. kept our Sports Editors busily engaged in their efforts to complete their write-ups. While their reports will show you the results of our sports year, the articles by Stanley McBride, Helen Baughman, Sue Harper, Don Grant, Roger Gentis, Betty Anspaugh, and Phyllis Kraft will give you a better idea of the many colorful and entertaining social acti vities of our clubs and class organizations. Miss Weidler volunteered her services as proofreader and accurately checked and corrected any grammatical errors. Our Copy Editors then took over and trans- formed the various articles into typewritten copy. The entire Staff feels that the Art Editors did a unique job in decorat- ing the pages of the 1947 Ravelings in a lively fashion. Their imagination and ability has done much to increase the attractiveness of our book. Miss Worthman ' s all-round knowledge proved invaluable in encourag- ing those worried and somewhat desperate people, the Editors, in their attempts to improve the Ravelings. The Editors also appreciated the readi- •T- ness with which Mr. Brown assisted them in their sundry difficulties. While we have mentioned the many persons most outstanding in the • • ' publishing of this book, we sincerely appreciate the assistance of all who have helped in making the 1947 Ravelings a livelier and more entertaining Yearbook. i SENIOR STAFF MEMBERS Above.

of the Howling Hosts, we backed our teams to the limit to create a spirit of victory in them. All games home or away were well represented by the Howl- ers of D. H. S. Once again the Howling Hosts sponsored a dance. It was after the Pleasant Mills game and was held in the Music room. We hope to sponsor several more such dances in the near future. In the future years we hope the Howlers ' do as fine a job of backing our teams as the Howling Hosts of this year did. GROUP 4, Top Row Junior Hakey. Tom Sharp.
