Like all other senior classes, the members of the class of '63 left with tears. Although they realize that a whole new life is in store for them, they will never forget the many memories acquired during their high school years. The first day of school was a very exciting but confusing one. As big freshmen, they felt very little in such a large, new, complex building. Not knowing what to expect, they were frightened but anxious and excited as they anticipated the next four years. The first highlight of tire freshman year was first place they received for their homecoming float, We'll Trump Their Ace. By spending more money on the float than was received in the prize, they acquired a deficit which remained with them until the beginning of their senior year. Next year they won first place on their float We'll Choo-Chew Them Up. This year everyone had the opportunity to take their chances behind the wheel of the driver's education car, and become the proud owner of a driver's license. Their Junior year the varsity football team won the title of Souther Lakes Champions. After many months of waiting, they were happy to receive class rings engraved with the class of 1963. When spring arrived work began on tire prom Blue Hawaii. When the big night arrived, King Mike Lucchcsi and Queen Jill Gant led the Grand March. As seniors, they witnessed the dedication of the $230,000 George W. Borg Memorial Stadium and the Comets sharing the Southern Lakes Championship with Whitewater. Ginny Stewart was elected homecoming queen with Louise Lange, Doris DeLap, and Barbara Woods as members of the court. Bob Buschc and Ray Blake were elected members of the all conference football team. Bob Winkley was voted, the most valuable swimmer of the season. They leave behind not only many memories, but also the many friends, with whom they shared these memories.

As members of the Class of 1963, we have spent four memorable years together, making many friends and sharing wonderful experiences with them. We will always remember the exams we studied for, the homecoming floats we made, the dances we sponsored, and the parties we attended. All of these incidents combined made our high school years interesting, exciting, and profitable ones. Upon leaving D-DHS, we would like to say thank you to the administration, our teachers, our underclassmen, our friends, and our families for standing behind us and making us what we are. The Class of 1963 ORS
