SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September of 1947 the Senior Class of nineteen-hundred and fifty one began their never to be forgotten high school days. Being under-classmen didntt interfere with our ability to get ahead. Many fellows were placed on the basketball and football teams. Our class made their first social debut at the freshman-sophomore reception October 24. We in turn entertained the sophomores with a suc- cessful dance in January. Beta-Y-Teens, G.A.A., and S.A.A. were well represented by the Fresh- men. Joe Munz and Joyce Davis were elected to Student Council. Surviving our Freshman year with much pride,we entered our second year with more confidence. On the football squad were placed August Bradfish, Ray Louder, Ron DeWitt, Torn Gerth, Norman Braker, Roger Markl, Walt Taylor, and Ronald Wilson. This was our most honorable year for our reserve basketball team won the M.V.I.L. championship. Jim Eicken- horst, Bill Becker, Ron DeWitt, Bob Aichele, Joe Munz, Dick Jung, and John Gorsuch re- eeived credit for their fine work. The girls be- came active in Glee Club, Dramatics Club, and Beta-Y-Teens', with Marilyn Billiter, president; Carol Meyer secretary; and Doris Helms, trea- surer. May 13, 1950, at the Kemper Lane Hotel finally climaxed that great event that we had looked forward to for a long time. This event naturally was the Junior-Senior Prom. For the first time in history of Deer Park High School our class featured a dinner-dance. Marilyn Billiter made a beautiful Prom Queen holding the bouquet of roses and of course wearing the crown. Her attendants were Wilma Wyatt, Doris Parke, Shirley Welch, and Judy Naber. We selected our class rings in October, deciding upon a solid gold ring bearing the school emblem with our initials engraved on the side of the emblem. Representing our school in football were Glenn Shrout, Ron DeWitt, Don Bream, Dick Jung, Jim Eickenhorst, Tom Gerth, Joe Munz, Roger Markl, and Albert Berger. And what a varsity team we had in basketball with Bill Becker, Dori Braam, Bob Aichele, Roger Markl, Dick Jung, Ron DeWitt, Jim Eickenhorst, and Joe Munz displaying their wihning ability. Marilyn Billiter helped to cheer our team to victory. The Public Speaking Class gave an as- 10 sembly play entitled Girl Troublef with Doris Helms, Wilma Wyatt, and Tom Gerth taking the lead parts. We finally reached the top of the ladder of success, becoming respectful seniors to set a fine example for the underclassmen. Douglas Ries- singer was chosen to head the class with Dick Jung, vice-president; Lavina Villari secretary; and Ron DeWitt treasurer. In athletics this year we sent Glenn Shrout, Augie Bradtish, Ron DeWitt, Don Braam, Jim Eickenhorst, and Roger Markl to the gridiron squad. Varsity basketball took Bill Becker, Bob Aichele, Roger Markl, Ron DeWitt, Dick Jung, and Jim Eickenhorst. Marilyn Billiter led the cheerleaders with Wilma Wyatt and Shirley Welch helping to make our team a winning one. As you can see by the following, the seniors were the leaders of many school organizations: Carol Meyer, Antler Editor; Carol Ivins, Tom Tom Editor; Jim Noel, President of Student Council; Wilma Wyatt, President of Dramatics Club; Doris Parke, President of Alpha-Y-Teens; Lavina Villari, President of National Honor Society; Carol Ivins, President of G.A.A.; Carol Geers, Social iManager; and Glenn Shrout, Music Manager. hWe Shook the Family Tree, presented by the Dramatics Club starred Carole Geers, David Dvorak, Doris Helms, Jim Noel, Nancy Finkle, Wilma Wyatt, Don Sewell, Pauline Johnson, and Don Fewell. The Vocal Highlights and the ttParkers of 51:, proved to be great shows, drawing large crowds, naturally since the seniors were the main attraction. In the spring of the year 1951, the seniors became excited, and maybe a little sad, prac- ticing for commencement which was to be held June 1 in the Walnut Hills High School audi- torium. Senior day proved to be not only lots of fun but maybe the last reminiscing of our Class. As we leave good old Deer Park High many memories of fun in our high school days run through our mind. Our class, being noted to succeed in any undertaking, will try to prove that fact by entering the business world with many contributions. Forget us not.
