7Ve 71 64,6, to “PieoeHt SUPERINTENDENT J. f IUTHER, MISS DOROTHY NEISON Schools, like businesses, must fake inventory periodically. Business establishments lake inventory to determine the status of the business. A business inventory shows what stock in in demand by the purchasing public or what stock is not in demand, and so is a liability to the business. Goods that do not sell will not be made by the manufacturer nor purchased by the retailer. Dead stock which is on hand will be sold ot a sacrifice or disposed of as soon as possible. Good business dumps the useless and that which proves to be a liability. It increases its stock of useful goods and thereby prospers. Let us be sure that we take periodic inventories to improve our business. Perhaps we have habits, traits of character, attitudes, and interests that are liabilities to us. If so, why do we not eliminate and keep only those qualities that help us to prosper, that are real assets to our own development, and that contribute to the generol welfare of ourselves and our school. J. F. LUTHER. Superintendent of Schools We as a school, and we as individuals, are in the business of education. It is a very important business. We can not afford to keep in stock habits of doing and practices that hinder us individually or os a school. 3 1945 Garnet Stafjj Jene Hibbard............................................Editor Mary McClellan............................Associate Editor Jeanette Gallup.............................Business Manager Dorthy Berkholtz . . .

The Comets started the season by beating Beloit ond Jefferson by the one hit and no hit games pitched by Hauffe. Although Hauffe’s pitching on the Comet's home field was exceptionally good, he couldn't seem to find the plate on fields away from Delavan. The season was highlighted by the fact that Comets won all their home games and lost all the games played away from home. The players who received letters were Capt. Sanford, Bob Hauffe. Dave Franklin, Earl Cook, Dick Sfurtevant, Bill Klein, Francis Clapper, Marvin Pogel, Gordon Madison, Don Deschner, and Charles Schmaling. This year looks rather dark with the return of only three letfermen. This means that the 1945 Comets will have to be rebuilt. 10 I. D. Sturtevont, C Spencer, P. Murphy, L. Rotencront, C.

Marino left the squad after the first game. Although the Comets didn't win o game, they were never accused of quitting before the final horn had blown. While the squad was large, if was mode up of mostly underclossmen. This means the Comets are to be watched in years to come. At o special assembly of letterwinners the squad elected Carroll Spencer captain of the “44 Comets. Spencer played an outstanding game of tackle throughout the season. Letters were awarded to the following players: Carroll Spencer, Pat Murphy, Don Sturtevant, Jim Britt, Gordon tieurence, Lawrence Rosencrons, Gene Murphy, Don Hopkirrs, Francis Clapper, Rollie McClellan, Earl Olson, Froncis Flohive, Charles McCommons, Wally Bradford, and Manager Les Babcock. 12 I.

Baihettall Early predictions pointed to another strong squad this season, but graduation and enlistments left the Comets with just one letter man, Wally Bradford. Lack of experience and size played an important factor in practically every game. Our young team showed much favorable promise in our first two games, when we defeated a strong alumni team and Walworth. Our season was far from being successful as to wins and losses, but our boys gave a good account of themselves and fought to the end. From the experience gained this season we should be a strong contender next year. 14 B SQUAD I. D. Doherty, E. Mueller, D. Sturtevant. I. Dovli, F. Flahive, D. Luther. II. D. Mopkln , . Bomei, D.

Dear Joe, September 5th was o beautiful doy—while it lasted. School started again . . . Our first assembly—music from the State School for the Blind. They were wonderful1 Joe, I'm awfully sorry, but we lost our first football game to Jefferson 45-0 . . . The boys this year are short and light, but they have that old D.H.S. fighting spirit. September 29—we battled again and lost this time to Elkhorn . . . D.H.S. and Lake Geneva fought it out and guess what?—we lost. The Junior High magazine sale began. 'lady, you don't want to subscribe to a magazine, do you? October 12—the senior boys, bless their souls (all 16) are learning to cook . . . probably make some lucky girl a good housekeeper someday. The 13th of October, they did it again—Burlington. Golly Joe, you wouldn't believe Delavon kids are such swell sports. U! Rah! Rah! Delavan!— who else? It was a wonderful game—we tied Whitewater. October 23—Entertainment by the Bentley Trio—the fellas seemed to like the dancing of Delores. (Boing!) October 24—What will they think of next? (the P.T.A.) Open house—you know—school at night . . . Even the teachers were glad when it was over. Has onyone an idea for a floot floating around? October 26—Homecoming . . . When is somebody going to stop the 8th grade from walking off v.ith first place ... It sure was great, even though we lost to Milton. The fellows on the football team this year are really swell and did they ever try hard. The next night we crowned Katherine Finley the Homecoming Queen at the dance. Did she look wonderful? Uh-huh! From the 2nd of November to the 7th we kids were in seventh heaven . . . Teachers' convention. Joe, we lost our first basketball game—with the Alumni! It was bound to happen sometime! November 17—The girls in Home Ec. put on a nice fashion show . . . smooth and smart shapes (not geometric either). November 18—Romeo, Romeo, would you like to cut a rug with me at the Sadie Hawkins Dance?—Still leap year, you know. It even happened again, Joe—Walworth this time. Another little lapse of time . . . darn, why couldn't Thanksgiving come twice a year? But Thanksgiving is over ond I've got to gel back to work, so I guess I'd better quit now. Yours, P.S. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Susie 17 Row 1 B. AnrieMon. A. Fleming. B Zimmermon. P. Wongerin, $. Follon. S. Peonon, R MeClellon. G- Moduon, H, Houffo, A. von Gnechton. J. Kucker. Row 7- E.

We elected officers as follows: Ann Keenan, president; Eve Holt, vice-president; Geraldine Deschner, secretary-treasurer; Marion Hummel, program chairman. Our club is a member of the Junior Academy of Science. Through the club we hope create on interest in scientific careers and thereby be able to take advantage of the University scholarships. 20 Dear Joe, It's raining today and is perfect for writing letters. I know lots of good news so here goes. Stop me if you've heard it. We had a swell program a little while ago, Pearl Harbor Day. I think.—Jack Rank pul an Macbeth ... all by himself . . . “Out, out, damned spot! . . . Oh, what he said—only he was a she. On the 8fh of December we scared Burlington (basketball) but not enough. The band and vocal departments put on a concert at the State School on the 12th. Bells, bells, bells, bells . . . Hear the sledges with the bells.''—second verse, same as first. December 13—We met our rival—Elkhorn, of course—there . . . Man, what a gome! They can’t do that with only six points extra. Joe, to celebrate Christmas vacation, we had a dance (real orchestra, too). Everyone wished you and all the other G.I.'s from Delavan High could have been there It was keen! Then we weren't fenced in again until January the 8th. January 13—Fight team! fight! for Delavan! We fought and won over the State School 53-42. A lull from out of the storm . . . Otto (Please pass the buttah, mothah!) Schacht singing. January 18—One glass of liquid air coming up! What will science think up next? Our team up against Burlington—by six points they did it again. Some of the best from the band went to Whitewater on the 31st where Dr. Simons presented a city concert broadcast (with the kids in it) over the radio—strictly on the beam. February 8—Hey, anybody seen a widdle white wabbit? Bobo, performed some bafflers. On the next day everybody was looking for the birdie. Mr. Cafchpole took annual pictures. On the 10th the Community Carnival wos held and the Dramatic Club presented “Oh Johnny. Everyone was downhearted around the 13th. Have we got a gremlin or something? We lost out on the Regional Tournament by one point and that to Milton, too. Overtime game. Even though the fellas must have been tired they walloped Walworth the next night. The hardest game to lose is by one point ... so we found out with Whitewater. We had a school tournament this week and the sophomore boys sure showed the school. The G.A.A. played off for class champions and the juniors won! Three cheers!!! And that's the end of the basketball season, Joe, and the end of this letter. Goodbye for now, Susie 21 Row 1-. E. Molt.

The aim of the Dramatic Club this year was something always in production. The production, Oh Johnny, a comedy in one act, was given at the Community Carnival. They didn’t work all the time; social events took up some of their energy. With the direction of Mrs. Duchoc and the enthusiasm of all the members, this has been a most successful year. 22 A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur' Court” Oh Johnny —but St' ju t a little Irog . . .
