3L9 .Sgtafion DedricaJri'On g? f We, the staff of the 1952 Antlers, are proud indeed to dedicate this book to the institution which has made this publication possible, our high school. This building of red, antiquated brick stands on Amity Road, surveying the homes of the students it has housed in its stately walls. Having evolved from a four-room schoolhouse, it has grown tremendousiy; and since the class of ,52 will probably be the last to graduate from its halls, we do not intend to Iet it fade away into obscurity. The structure has seen many exciting, fantastic, tragic, happy and touching scenes. It has viewed with solemnity the passing of class after class, student upon student. Yes, our old alma mater has seen a lot of history, but time has fared her well since her crude beginning as a quartet of wooden rooms in 1906. By 1919, the need for more space was realized with the construction of four additional rooms. From there, progress was rapid and the citizens watched the .h. steady growth of this institution of learning. An east wing, including the gymnasium twell equipped for its tima and auditorium, was built in 1926. Nineteen Thirty-Six saw the rise of a new west wing,

jAe .Sbtafion Deditafion which forms the present high school, and two years later, the first Antlers was published. Deer Park has since mushroomed to 7,550. This boom in population, brought about by two World Wars, created the necessity for enlarged accommodations. Thus inspired, a more modern north wing was built in 1948, which houses most of the high school and junior high. Many improvements have been made over the years, such as the public-address system donated by the classes of '38, 39, MO, 41, 12. and the beautiful dark red velvet curtain by the clasa of 1948; i and the class of 1947 gave us the electric scoreboard in the gym. b Many plaques and memoranda decorate the time-honorcrl halls, and the main hall of the south wing's First Hoot is filled with composites of our worthy senior classes. Our Alma Mater has experienced Vsix performances of the Parkers and many more theatrical productions put on by the Dramatics Club. It has seen the rising and falling and rising again of our athletic teams. She has grown to a Class A school and has become acclaimed for her notable works throughout the state.
