BLEVINS To Mr. Blevins, who has contributed so much to make our school an honored and respected institution of learning, who has built for our school a sure and strong foundation for future improvements, who has taithtully served our school as superintendent for ten years and is now leaving us, we dedicate this 1943 edition ofthe Antler. f ful' C 4 X J' , at , js f- ' X SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE The activities of the seniors and their efficient and understanding class advisor remind us that another group of young people is about to march forth from Deer Parlf High School. It is the class of '43 making preparations to go out into a confused and uncertain world. As you endeavor to bring into this yearbook the high lights of your four years together, may I wish for you as much pleasure in reviewing its pages as I have experi- enced in playing a small part in your student life. You are experiencing for the first time something of what your association with teachers and fellow students has meant to you. What was once a routine task is beginning to take on a new and enriched meaning. Regrets over opportunities neglected may take their secret toll from the fullest ioys of accomplishment. If this is true in your case, have courage, for you are on the way to success. You have not failed. . I have watched you searching the pictures in the corridors for fellow alumni who have entered our country's service, received honors at college, or gained recognition in the many fields where character and ability are demanded. You have experienced iust pride in the feeling that a fellow alumnus has made good. You were glad to know that he or she was a fellow student in Deer Park High School. 'Ne all await with breathless interest news from the far-off battle fronts on land, on the sea, and in the air, for our boys and fellow students are in there with everything they have. They are giving all that they have in order that we may be able to carry on here at home. I know that future students of Deer Park High will look into the class of '43 and find those who have rendered outstanding service to our country. As you face your new duties, may you do so with confidence that those at home are carrying on the traditions you would keep alive. May you feel that their loyalties are with you. The Great American Dream may be trusted to you graduates as you go to help build a better world for tomorrow. A wish for the best in life for each one of you, and a speedy victory and a safe return to all who are called to the service of our country is the prayer of your superintendent. -E. M. BLEVINS XX.

This year there appeared a new book entitled The Year of Decision. The story is based on the events of a year of our history nearly TOO years past. Yet the very title of the book is timely and extremely thought-provoking. We are living in one of those great years. I943-44 will, without doubt, be a Year of Decision in many ways. The war is at present uppermost in the minds of all of us. Back of the war consciousness are other thoughts of our plans for a new and better life after the war and the peace have been won. Even the phrase, winning the peace, is a new idea, born of the loss of peace even though we achieved a victory in battle in the last war. We, who teach, earnestly hope that somehow in our association with you, who are learning, we have helped build a background that will make possible clear and constructive thought as well as decisive action in this important Year of Decision and the equally important years of rebuilding which are to follow. -C. D. BABCOCK STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE I am glad to have the opportunity to say these last few words to the Associated Students of Deer Park High School, by way of the 1943 annual. It has been an honor as well as a pleasure to be your president. I hope that l have lived up to your expectations and served to your satisfaction. , Student government is a privilege. You should guard it carefully and use it wisely as it is for your welfare. When properly handled it brings you many privileges and much enioyment. Besides it gives each of you an added responsibility to make your school a better one. It gives you each a chance to participate in our democratic way of government. We need only to think of the Axis dominated countries and we can doubly appreciate the freedom of the individual which is practiced in our schools as well as our government. This year the student council tried to make the necessary changes in our school program due to shortages amenable to all. The response you gave showed your cooperative spirit which is any student body's greatest asset. In closing I want to thank every one of you for your general assistance and the work you have all done to help make this year's student council a very active and essential organization in our school. -DONALD LENHARD XX E ni 4 -kj 4 -.N-his r A fr- fl X , ' I X , ' I fl X, -' ' ' f , T if H ' Q , ...-- h :xx , ' ' WN' , ,f ,i..,-, rf I nj, 1 . ,F fuflf' f fx' Q ff,-jf3:4', ', y 'x 5 f 1 ,. f 'Lf 3,4 A ff f XN V6 .

TO OUR BOYS IN THE SERVICE This page of student's poetry is dedicated to those members of the class of i943 who are now in uniform: Omer Craig, Gene Butt and Phillip Scott of the U. S. Army and Cecil Schersand of the U. S. Marines. Soldier's Prayer Oh Great God, Maker of all things, For a land where Freedom rings, Give us this day the strength to live, That we might, if need be, give The undetermined measure in days to come, So that, when our work is done, All might live in peace and love- Surpassed but by Thy eternity above. Oh Lord, Creator of the Earth, We pray for the land which Thou gavest birth, That people might, if thou shouldst will, Never let their work be still. But always, ever, carry on Until the day when peace is won. And then, Oh Lord, let them not forget What dire pain their soldiers met. And then, Oh Lord, we pray to Thee, To take away hate, that we may see. But-whate'er our fate may be- Grant to our nation, victory! , And to our Buddies on battlefield, Give them Thy power for a shield. We pray but for one thing from Thee- Please, Lord, set Thy people free. -Weymeth Simpson Tear of Today She stood upon the seashore, , Watching the ebbing tide, She looked o'er the wide, wide ocean Stretching so far and wide. She thought of one so dear to her Who had sailed away that day, To help the fight for Uncle Sam His summons to obey. She remembered the last few hours Before he had sailed away. He had kissed her goodby and told her To always watch and pray. She thought of how he had left her Standing with a tear in her eye, Going to fight for freedom That all men should not die. But someday, when the war is ended, Back will he come to stay With her in their little cottage, Alone by the seashore way. -Carol Honey QA' s s ,f Y .5 J SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On a bright fall morning in nineteen hundred thirty-one, members of the Deer Park High School graduating class of i943 gathered together in the first grade room of the Deer Park Grade School. Those of us whom Miss Green left in the care of Miss Loyles at the end of the first semester were: Bob Beers, Dorothy Compher, Dale Liztenberger, Helen Siers, Aaron Olson, Robert Warner, Marguerite Palmer, Betty Hoppel and Omer Craig. From then on time flew by with many new friends ioining us. We had lost Marguerite and Betty Hoppel from our group at the end of the first grade. Betty Lewis and Evelyn Bender ioined us in the second grade as we studied under the guidance of Miss Kimmel. Miss Kimmel was also our teacher in the third grade. We all looked forward to the fourth grade, and Miss Earsley was our teacher. Francis Secor ioined us this year. Betty Lewis left our group at the end of our year's studies. lt was a great step for us between the fourth and fifth grades. Barbara Leamer and Donald Lenhard became part of our group this year. Here we studied under Mr. Chess. Marguerite Palmer came back to us in the sixth grade. Here Miss Chess was our home-room teacher. Evelyn Bender left our group in the middle of the year. And then we were promoted to the so-called frightening seventh grade. However, Mr. Lloyd, Miss Stowe and Mr. Cosgrove helped us through this grade and we did very well. Betty Lewis returned this year along with Iona Ross. It was at the end of this year that we first went to Loon Lake for our class picnic. During the eighth grade we had a great deal of work and fun. Scholastic honors went to Marguerite Palmer and Dorothy Compher, who were the two highest out of a class of twenty-five. We all graduated with some misgivings and with peculiar feelings in our stomachs as we looked forward to HIGH SCHOOL!!! On the first day of school in the fall of 1939 we, as Freshmen, walked into the High School, very astonished and wondering at the desks without places to put books, and little closets all along the halls! The twenty-six of this class who are graduating this year from D. P. H. S. hailed from many differents grade school. Besides the twelve who had graduated from the Deer Park Grade School there were Eleanor Harris from Garden Spot, Elsie Henricson from Olson Spur, Lorene Owen, Betty Hoppel and Doris Newel from Burroughs fDoris had attended Burroughs for eight yearsl. Alice Shives entered from Pineview where she had studied eight years. Mary Ellen Zuchetto and Allen Peterson had graduated from Forreston, and Myrtle Jens and Dale Robinson from Twin Mountain-Dale had attended this school for eight years. Leonard Renner entered, an eight-year student from Clayton. From Loon Lake Grade School came the eight-year classmates, Ivy Gardner, Clara Jean Axel and Jeannie Hallaris. Cecil Schersand hailed from Opportunity. Cloyce Preedy joined us from Moscow, Idaho. As we organized this class for the first time, Bob Beers was elected President, Don Lenhard, Vice President, and Aaron Olson, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Oriard and Mr. Limbert were our advisors. On our Initiation day the Sophomores compelled us to switch clothes, the boys SENIOR CLASS HISTORY E lContinuedl wore dresses and girls wore boy's attire. We had a great deal of fun-especially with our raw eggs! During the year we did not attempt the but chose to establish a good foundation concentrated on Algebra, a minor science, Physical Education. At the end of the year Lake. Everyone had a wonderful time boating and eating! Barbara Leamer left us at the end of this year. We gaily started our Sophomore year by initiating the new Freshmen Dogpatch style as we observed Sadie Hawkins' Day. Bob Moore entered, a new member of our class. For our class officers we again elected Bob Beers as President, Don Lenhard, Vice President, and Allen Peterson, Secretary-Treasurer. Our advisors were Miss Garfield and Mr. Limbert. During this year we studied Geometry, Business Arithmetic and Com- mercial Law, Home Economics, Agriculture, Biology, Physical Education and English. We came more into the spotlight when, on December 6, l940, we gave our first class dance of the year, the Sophomore Sport Dance. For the second semester Dorothy Compher was chosen as President, Don Lenhard as Vice President and Allen Peterson activity accomplishments of the other classes for our high school studies. We seriously Home Economics, Agriculture, English and we had a picnic at Morgan's Park on Loon as Secretary-Treasurer. As our abilities became more evident we took a greater active part in the school activities. Along the dramatic line we were represented in the casts of Here Comes Charlie, BashfuI Bobby and The Henpecked Husband. Seven of our group worked on the Stag Staff and two played in the Band. The year was topped off with a final hilarious picnic at Granite Point. Thus our Sophomore year came to a close. Then came our Junior year. We were very fortunate in having Miss Dorothy Boutell as our class advisor. New students entering with us were Elsie Waldner from Chewelah, Clara and Elva Hand from Yale, Michigan, Gene Butt from Mead and Phillip Scott from Valley Ford. As we again took up our studies, we chose Allen Peterson as our President, Bob Beers, Vice President, Alice Shives, Secretary-Treasurer, and Lorene Owen, Sergeant at arms. The first semester representatives to the Student Council were Dorothy Compher and Bob Beers, Vice President. This year four Juniors worked on the Stag Staff and two played in the Band. The Stag Guards elected for one year were Lorene Owen, Helen Siers, Marguerite Palmer and Dale Litzenberger. Leonard Renner was chosen for a two-year term. Our first social function this year was the Sport Dance held November 7. This dance was without decorations and was a distinct financial asset. During the second semester, Bob Beers was elected to head the class and, assisted by Bob Moore, Vice President, Alice Shives, Secretary-Treasurer, and Francis Secor, Sergeant at arms, carried on the work of the class in a very creditable manner. ln the Student Council, Bob Moore and Jeannie Hallaris were our representatives for the second semester. In February Elva Hand, Marguerite Palmer and Elsie Waldner took part in the speech contest at Whitworth College. Elva participated in the dramatic declamation division, Marguerite won second place in the humorous declamation division, and Elsie won second place with her original oration. ff? Q. s -j',5 ? Xxx gk' SENIOR CLASS HISTORY lContinuedT We spent our time in good hard study until April 29 when we gave the Pre-Prom Shakedown. On May T5 we presented the Junior Prom which honored the Seniors. The gym was very beautifully decorated as an Hawaiian island and we received many compliments to repay us for our hard work. Everyone enioyed and appreciated the Junior-Senior Banquet which preceeded the Prom. Topping the year off was our wonderful picnic at Loon Lake. Thus, for eleven years, we prepared for the climax of our public school education-the year T943 when we would be the graduating Seniors of Deer Park High School. In September as we met again in our home-room, we welcomed back into our class Barbara Leamer and Evelyn Bender and were happy to find that three new members had joined us. They were Miriam Blair from Stevenson, Washington, Anna Marie Robins from Gordon, Nebraska, and Ervin Jurgens from Reardon. We organized our class with Bob Beers as President, Donald Lenhard as Vice President, and Alice Shives as Secretary-Treasurer. Early in the year some members of our class deserted us to don the uniforms of various branches of our country's service groups. Fetch Secor chose the Navy and Bob Moore ioined the Marines. We missed them at school. We received word from Jimmy Olson, who had been with our class until our Senior year, that he had graduated from Lewis and Clark High School in Spokane in January and had joined the Army. He is now a Private First Class. During the year, six of the Seniors worked on the Stag. Three of our group took part in the All-High Play, The Rafferty Racket. Dorothy Compher was elected as the Stag one-year Stag Guard. Leonard Renner continued his two years of service. On March 5 we gave our elaborate Senior Ball. We decorated very appropriately with many United Nations' flags and blue and white V's for Victory. Taking part in the Chorus and Band which performed so exceedingly well at the Community Christmas Program and in the Spring Concert were Elsie Henricson, Eleanor Harris, Elva and Clara Hand, Dorothy Compher, Elsie Waldner, Mary Ellen Zuchetto and Ervin Jurgens, Donald Lenhard, Cloyce Preedy and lvy Gardner. As we were bustling around with our pictures, cards and announcements, and our Antler, the Juniors honored us with the Junior Prom on May 21. The Junior-Senior Banquet was again a huge success. Baccalaureate services were on May 30. Rev. Ruth Lortz gave a challenging message. Our Class Day exercises were given on June l. And then-Commencement-our goal of twelve years. Dr. Schlaugh, Sociology professor of Whitworth, delivered a fine address. Four of our classmates partially completed their senior year studies at Deer Park, then entered the armed forces. Cecil Schersand of the Marines, Omer Craig, Gene Butt and Phillip Scott, now in Army uniforms received their diplomas although not with their classmates. We are proud of them and know that soon many others of our class will ioin them in service to our country. Thus, in the evening of June 3, 1943, we received our diplomas with smiles-and tears, and stepped out to meet the challenges of the world. -DOROTHY COMPHER se F! qw-'7 .- I L fp A XX CLASS WILL Looking over the vast store which we, the Senior Class of i943 possess, we 'rake great pleasure in making out this will, for we feel we have much to leave to future generations of students of the Deer Park High School.

To Miss Rice goes the advisorship of next year's Senior Class, with Miss Boutell's hope that her class will be as sweet, gentle and agreeable as we have been. Also, to next year's Senior English group, we gladly bequeath our English Literature texts, hoping that they will appreciate Keats and Shelley as we have. Our school building we likewise bequeath to future students-may you be as zealous in caring for it, and in keeping it looking tops as we have attempted to be.

James Justice wills Edith Jens to Warren Bushnell. To the ever-prompt Gordon Durrell goes Fetch Secor's broken alarm clock and divers other excuses. To Mrs. Peters goes the cheerful disposition of Myrtle Jens and to Jean Keiser goes Elsie Hendricson's quiet charm, with the accent on bath words! Elva Hand is pleased to offer her seat in Advanced Math class to Verda Gardner- or any one else who will take it. Jeannie Hallaris gives her pretty sweaters to Miss Henderson, whose wardrobe is strangely lacking in said garments. Molly Breitzman wills her cheerful, Number, please, to Anna Lee Brill, and Miriam Blair leaves her office efficiency to Peggy Betz.

Barbara Leamer's flirtatous nature we give to Jeannette Pakker, though goodness knows, she doesn't need it. Dale Robinson passes on his popular title, Lil Abner, to his worthy successor, Art Kurtzhall. Alice Shives leaves her stenographic ambitions to Howard Shrauger. Helen Siers wills her Stag Guard sweater to Dick Martens-add a two-way and it ought to fit. Marguerite Palmer wills her excellent scholastic ability to Shirley Blair. -Marguerite Palmer Miriam Blair Myrtle Jens CLASS PROPHECY A After many years of hardship and trouble since their happy days at Deer Park High School we find the graduating class of i943 engaged in the following: We find Clara Axel going back to a special Mathematics school, so she can later come back and teach Mr. Perrins the lastest methods of Math. Evelyn Bender is quite happy with her husband on their 20-acre cabbage ranch near Clayton. She bought this ranch with the money she saved while employed at the Westby Mercantile Co. We find Miriam Blair working on her latest novel which she hopes will be a best seller, How To Be a Successsful Wife. Mmm! Sounds interesting. Dorothy Compher seems to be doing very well. She is employed with the Killer Diller Symphony now playing at the Boogie Woogie Club somewhere in Alabama. lvy Gardner is giving swimming lessons at her resort at Deer Lake. It is understood that these lessons are free and you take them at your own risk. Clara Hand has finally succeeded in inventing something to make a person grow tall. She calls her new invention Stretchem and says it really works but she is afraid to use it on herself. Elva Hand has recently written a book of fairy tales. She hopes these will get her to Hollywood some day. After many summers of driving tractor Eleanor Harris not only has a nice sun tan, but also knows how to drive a car very efficiently. Elsie Henricson has finished a course in business college and now is using her secretarial ability for writing letters to Vern. XX wie CLASS PROPHECY lContinued:I We see Elsie Waldner finally settled down to her duties as a housewife in Squaw Gulch, Kentucky. Mary Ellen Zucchetto seems to be the envy of all the girls now. She was recently promoted as private secretary to the office of those two distinguished young gentlemen, Chiseler and Gyppem, Inc. Bobby Beers is a hermit among the hills near Pullman, Wash. After the last unfortunate love affair, he has developed a hatred for women, which drives him to his seclusion. But some of his closest friends are expecting him to return to civilization soon. We met Gene Butt in Hawaii serving as a Second Lieutenant in the Army there. Ervin Jergens seems satisfied managing his father's farm in Williams Valley. Lorene keeps him company, even when he drives the tractor! James Justice will be manufacturing a new kind of curlers. It may be the idea that he doesn't like girls with straight hair or that he just likes his curled too. Don Lenhard is the same bashful fellow, although he has gotten enough courage to write to Dorothy Dix for a bit of advice. We wonder who she is? Dale Litzenberger is in the Navy Air Corps, whenever possible trying to escape work. Because of his well-known talent in the Senior Play, Allen Peterson has secured a position on the screen in Pine Flats, Arkansas. Cloyce Preedy is a bookkeeper for a large exporting company in China. He gained his first experience during his course of Bookkeeping that he took in Deer Park High School. Leonard Renner seems quite content and happy now with his attractive wife of six feet four inches. Dale Robinson, whom we knew as Lil Abner is still running from the women. l wonder if he'll ever get over his bashfulness? Ted Roll is trying his best to obtain a cheap substitute for gum. It seems he was quite popular as long as he had it. Cecil Schersand is the manager of a large firm manufacturing air mattresses. His experiences in the Marines makes him appreciate these luxuries. Phillip Scott, we see, has overcome his bashfulness since he has been in the Army. Bob Warner is running The Warner Scooter Garage. Because of gas rationing, he is making scarcely enough money to buy his own food. Because of the shortage of rubber, Aaron Olson has invented a new substitute for it -He says it always holds out till he gets to Loon Lake. What we want to know is how he gets home again! Betty Hoppel is a successful manager of a home for Defense workers' children. Myrtle .lens 'owns a 150-acre farm near Connell and seems quite contented managing it all by herself. Barbara Leamer is still working hard in Spokane. She hopes to save enough money so that she can retire soon and go on a sight-seeing tour of the world. 'lip' gf X J ,K 25-V , .f-61' J Q- sae' CLASS PROPHECY lContinuedj Betty Lewis seems to be really going places as a nurse. She was recently assigned as head nurse to the Old Folks Home at Graveyard, Oklahoma. Doris Newel is conducting a Dude Ranch in Wyoming. She is nationally known among prominent horse racers. Lorene Owens' heart still goes pitter patter when she hears that old familiar trombone play. Marguerite Palmer is quite successful in her study of medicine. She has recently invented a medicine which she calls Pain Killer. They say the medicine really fits the name. Iona Ross was seen asking a young man on the street for a stick of gum. We see she still uses the same technique in getting acquainted with the boys. We see Alice Shives has finally succeeded in winning the heart of one of those Riverside boys. They seem to be very happy on their farm at the outskirts of town, but I still can't picture Alice raising goats for a living. Anna Marie Robins is now teaching school in Goose Pimple Ridge, Montana. They say she has a very large class roll of about four pupils. Helen Siers is driving truck for the Deer Park Auto Freight. That's one way of keeping track of him, isn't it, Helen? THE ANTLER We are proud to be able to present an Annual this spring, with a yearly record of activities and class undertakings. The staff has striven to give as complete and accurate an account as possible. Miss Jacobsen served as our photographer and the result of her activity with camera, tape line and spot-light is apparent on the following pages, for we know that a yearly outline such as we wish to give is incomplete without a pictorial record as well. You understand that with materials and time at the minimum as they are now, it is a tremendous undertaking to plan an Annual. A great deal of credit goes to the entire Senior Class, without whose complete cooperation and effort it would be impossible to have this yearbook. It is with admiration and gratitude that we turn to our editor, business manager, and their assistants, as well as our Faculty advisor. Their's has been a difficult task, to which they have given the best of their ability and much of their time. They only hope the i943 edition of The Antler will bring you now, and as time goes by-pleasant memories of a year at Deer Park High School. in 1 lwf 1 XX FRESHMEN srl1'0xYG , 'Q f V Q Tfffuvm JEAN -mmf fm 464w7'Af C asses E E is !

A matinee was held in the afternoon of November 20th. The Rafferty Racket concerns the shake-up of a blackmail shake-down. To be more explicit-Rafferty fDonald Lenhardi, a customs official, has been in the habit of exacting hush money from smugglers. Stories have reached his ears that one Steven Canby lGordon Durrelll, is soon to arrive from Europe with pearls of great value in his possession. He further learns that Canby is traveling with a party in which are included Mrs. Edward Gilder fElva Handi, and her daughter, Clara Hean Keiserl. Rafferty senses in this situation a great opportunity to get into the big money. In the first place, he has the goods on a Miss Owen, whom he had discovered to be in possession of certain small articles on which she had not paid duty. Consequently, with threats of imprisonment as a weapon, Rafferty induces Ruth Owen lPeggy Betzi, a sister of the accused girl, to act as a fence for him in his attempt to land Canby. ln conclusion Canby is revealed as a government official, who had deliberately laid a plot to catch Rafferty and his henchman, Farley Uimmy Onsteadl. Swayed by conflicting emotions, Miss Owen finally admits her share in the plot. In the end Rafferty gets what he deserves, and the two lovers are well on toward happiness as the last curtain falls. There are other interesting people in the play, Edward Gilder, ably portrayed by Donald Attridge, is as nutty as a fruit cake. Bertha Berg, as Hilda Wescott, is an effective maid. Sarah Gilder, Edward's sister, was played by Betty Lou Lewis. Betty Lou Wright plays the part of Florence Nash. H 5 4 ff-aff?

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The primary purpose of this organization is to develop qualities of leadership and cooperation in farm boys. However, the Deer Park Chapter, along with other chapters in this territory, has been engaged in a project along a different, but very worth-while, line. This is a program to develop a better grade of livestock in the community, sponsored by Sears, Roebuck and Co, This company bought registered female hogs and sheep which were leased to F. F. A. boys. In due time each boy will pay back to the chapter a stated amount of the offspring and the boy will then own the hog or sheep, as the case may be. This is better livestock than the average boy could afford to buy, but, by this program, he can begin raising registered stock without the large initial cost. Because there was a larger number that left the group last year than came in this year, the chapter is a little smaller. There were five boys initiated as green hands this year. Several of those who had been members for one year were promoted to the degree of Future Farmers and two boys, Allen Peterson and Don Lenhard, obtained a State Farmer Degree.

THE BAND This year our band started with fifteen old band members. To these were added ten members which carried the band through very successfully. Our first appearance was the annual Pep Rally. The band was directed by Kay Perrins, due to the fact that our band leader, Mr. Babcock, had an important engage- ment that night. All the band was very sorry that he wasn't able to attend. We played for the football game the next day and several games later, thus spurring the football boys on. Along came the teachers' reception and the brass section was asked to play. lt was very successful, as every member was present to support his section, The WiIliam's Valley Grange asked Mr. Babcock it the band could play it they would furnish transportation, The band was happy to be able to attend. The band was invited to play on many other occasions, but, due to the shortage of transportation, was unable to accept these invitations. At the start of the second semester eight more members were added to our band while only three members quit school, thus making a total of thirty members during the spring semester. In the second semester the band concentrated on their annual Spring Concert, which consisted of several numbers, incuding army numbers and The Fortune Teller. ln the Fortune Teller, Weymeth Simpson sang a tenor solo, followed with a solo dance by Miss Falk, which led the ballet dance of ten girls dressed as gypsies. This was all accompanied by the band and proved one of the greatest hits of the concert. They then started practicing hard for the District Band Contest, which, due to the war and transportation shortages, had to be in our high school auditorium instead of as previously planned. The band had so many compliments on the concert that Mr. Babcock was asked if he could arrange another summer concert to be given May 28th. lt also was well attended and greatly enioyed by the community. .es 4-, , A' '1i f7 x xi GYPSY DANCERS Top Row ,Left to rigntl: Virginia Abbott, Dolly Stoclce, Jeon Keiser, Tlteimo Strong, Dorothy Brill front Row: Doris Fornplufr, Mary Costa, Helen Butt, Kmtltryn Moore, Margaret Butt.

THE CHORUS The Chorus started out as a rather small organization, but as time went on, interest grew and many more students joined the group. Our department this year is a more complete group and is made up of tour sections: Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. The numerous public appearances suggested a common costume and the Home Economics department mode choir robes. They were a different color for each section, The first public appearance of the Chorus this year was the Teachers' Reception The second was a specially arranged Christmas Cantata, centered about the Chorus. The group participated in the Annual Spring Band Concert. They contributed two A Cappela numbers and a combination of several songs with accompaniment. The Sextet, which is made up of members from the Chorus, helped to make up the program for the installation of Eastern Star officers. Also, the Sextet and two soloists competed in the Eastern Washittgton Musical Contest. I 9 Qty 1 K ' 1 N 1 f f ' f ,vw 4.17 LYRE CLUB D. P, H. S. music lovers wanted to get-together, so a club was organized by the members of the band, chorus and orchestra at the beginning of the second semester. It was named after the Lyre, a musical stringed instrument. The officers presiding are: President, Kay Perrinsf Vice President, Dorothy Cornpher, Secretary, Mary Muhsg Pro- gram Chairman, Donald Larson. Every other Thursday the club meets and there is a short meeting with a program following. The program is based upon certain themes each time. They are very seldom rehearsed but always demonstrate the best of the members' musical talent and are very entertaining. There is also a paper called the Blue Notes, having Jean Keiser as editor. All members feel that this is the beginning of a very fine activity and hope it will prove an asset and pleasure to all music students in the future. 1:-' 'X X T! :A I A-X. , ' ,'vT. f':75-- X Q Buck Row ILeft to rightlz Howard Reiter, Betty Follett, Doris Welch, Evelyn Kincaid, Kay Perrins, Diclc Westby, Ervin Jurgens, Betty Lou Wright, Dora Welch, Tommy Reiter, Weymeth Simpson.

Coach Click built his team around the returning veterans who had had the follow- ing numbers of years of experience-Cecil Schersand 2 years, Walt Kurtzhall l, Dale Litzenberger 2, Don Attridge l, Guy Inman 2, Ethan Williams l, Gordon Durrell l, Cloyce Preedy l. The veterans were reinforced by the following-Donald Fish, Jack Hammond, Barney Springer, Harold Welch, Bob Beers, Fred Higgins, Don Inman, James Justice, Warren Olson, Jerry Snyder, Rudy Forsburg, all of whom earned letters this year. They also appreciated the help given them by their classmates-Gene Butt, James Nolan, Aaron Olson, Carl Schurnaker, Fetch Secor, Art Miller and Gene Miller. Their managers, Jim Onstad, Jack Eickmeyer and Dan Crandall, all worked faithfully for the team. The season started out successfully with Colville as our opponent in a game which ended with the score a tie. As the season progressed we did not fare so well because we had to change the backfield continually. Our League consisted of Riverside, Chewelah and Colville. We played two games each. Good sportsmanship and a lively interest prevailed throughout the season. ml' nfrrl ,, 1 I .ff ' ' iff' Q. Q-in K J .

Coach Click, with only three veterans, worked up a team that put on several good smokers. Our first smoker was at Mead High School and after their baptism of fire the boys settled down and fought extremely well. A return smoker with Mead and two others with Riverside concluded the season.
