June, 1933 ,The KALENDS President's Speech Friends, teachers, classmates, lend me your ears, I come to welcome, not to bore you. The evil classes do lives after them, The good is oft forgotten with their passing, So let it be with us. The noble teachers Will say we were not too ambitious If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously do we repent it. Here, under leave of Prof. and all the rest, For Prof. is an honourable man, So are the women, all honourable women, Come we to speak in our behalf. We have brought many honours to D. A. Which honours will my classmates soon relate. But teachers say we lacked ambition, And teachers are an honourable body. We speak not to disprove what teachers say, But here we are to speak what we do know. You all have loved us once, not without cause, What cause withholds you then to mourn our leaving? 1' if if Bear with us, Our hearts are in this program here today, And I must pause to let my classmates speak. A History fBeing a diary of D. A. during the high school days of the Class of I933.j 1929-30 fFRESl-IMEN, Sept. 6-Today did thirty-seven of us behold the high school walls for the first time as Fresh- men. We were not kept long today as all we had to do was to register and plan our course. Much bewildered and not knowing where to go and what to do next, we went home. Sept. 7-This morning did we again return to ponder upon our schedules, which did indeed cause considerable trouble. Conliicts were nu- merous. How hard it was for us to understand the way in which the upperclassmen went about their duties. They seemed to know exactly when and where to do things. Indeed, it was mirac- ulous! Sept. 19-Beginning to feel more at home and have a vague idea of what we are to do. Today with much pride we did hold our first class meet- ing. The following officers were elected: President-Raymond Snyder. Vice-President-Priscilla Marvin. Secretary-Ruth Hoos. Treasurer-Robert Hunt. Oct. 30--With great fright were we summoned to D. A.'s halls tonight to undergo the much- dreaded initiation. After eating Limburgcr cheese and having skinned grapes put down our necks, we thoroughly believe that we are full- fledged FRESHMEN! ' Mar. 13-Did betake myself to the auditorium for the Annual Prize Speaking Contest. Great honor for Freshmen, as one member of said class received second prize. Apr. 10-11-Methinks studying was far from the minds of many these days, as there are too many beautiful paintings decorating our walls. The Elson Art Exhibit is the cause of this spas- modic turn of mind toward Art. We Freshmen, feel quite important this year as many of us have taken part in such things as basketball, orchestra, glee club and plays, be- sides struggling with Latin and algebra! 1930-31 fSOPHOMOREJ Sept. 10-Back to school after a perfectly gor- geous vacation. How dignified we feel, for are we not now at the heights of being Soplvomores? Sept. 25-Today did we hold a class meeting to elect officers. Methinks 'twas wise choosing we did in selecting James Honeywell for President, Paul Swanson for Vice-President, Priscilla Marvin for Secretary, V Clara Dannheimer for Treasurer. April 15-Methinks we have two good speak- ers in our class as they did win for themselves the sum of S10 each for the first prize in the annual prize speaking contest tonight. E131 -C28

The KALENDS June, T933 May-Mr. Boldtis dancing class has indeed been an inducement. Our school dances have been well attended by the younger set since his efforts on Friday afternoons have been so suc- cessful in making dancers out of many of us. May 31-Did betake ourselves to Watauga Falls this day to enjoy a picnic for the Sopho- mores and Freshmen. This was in the after- noon and early evening. Did ride home on bi- cycles fif we were luckyj. Otherwise we walked. We have had many good times this year and have taken part in nearly all the extra-curricular activities of the school. Greatly increased in wis- dom, it is we feel, too. 1931-32 Uursuoaj Sept. 21-Did hold our first class meeting to- day for the purpose of electing officers to guide us safely through the year. They are: President-Marian Dickson. Vice-President-Leslie Robinette. Secretary-Priscilla Marvin. Treasurer-Floyd Aitken. Oct. 31-Amid much confusion and jolly fun did some of our Juniors ride to Clinton, New York, on the new Delaware Academy bus, to witness a college football game played by Ham- ilton College and St. Lawrence. Did we have fun? Well, I guess! Nov. 12-Up at seven o'clock to attend Cain Raiser banquet at Skyland. After dancing, practicing school yells, and eating, we betook our- selves to school. In assembly did the Cain Raisersi' stage a comic football game between Walton and Delhi. The purpose was to arouse school spirit and to get people out to the game the next day. In this respect, we were suc- cessful. Nov. 13-Did trip the light fantastic at a Kalends dance tonight. Had a wonderful time. This was a very successful party. I-Iere's hoping for more in the near future! Dec. 18-Were freed from school today for a two weeks' vacation. Assembly today was spon- sored by the Junior class and consisted of a Christmas play, a reading, and some songs. The high school orchestra also played. jan. 29--Student Council did sponsor a very effective dance in Ag. School gym to night. The U4 ' 1 decorations were very nautical and the gym was decorated like the deck of a ship. Everything was perfect. The ticket sellers wore sailor suits and one found one's self at times thinking he was sailing the ocean bluef' Feb. 2-Dramatics class did present three one- act plays which were very successful. Feb. 13-Did most sumptuously enjoy myself at a dinner party, given to the Kalends Staff by Miss Tubbs. This party was held at Mrs. Davies' and was attended by all the staff mem- bers. Everyone had a perfectly lovely time and we certainly enjoyed those clever Valentine games. Feb. 22-Wasliington Bicentennial Ball was a big success. The specialty number by several townspeople was indeed impressive. June 28-At last the greatly anticipated mo- ment arrived. Namely, the time for the Junior Prom. We were certainly proud of our decora- tions fif we do have to say irlj. They were of green and yellow, our class colors. The music was, of course, just perfectf' This dance was certainly a success. June 29--Did have most hilarious time at Ju- nior-Senior picnic today at Oquaga Lake. Ac- quired a perfect sunburn. flf such a thing could be called perfectlj. Canoeing, swimming, and eating, took up most of our time. Was it fun? You're asking me? 1932-33 fSENl0Rj Sept. 6-School re-opened once more. Every- thing looks quite natural except for the fact that desks have been varnished, walls painted, etc. My, how green the Freshmen look! Poor things! Isn't it pitiful? One fells so sorry for them as they continue to jump at the sound of every bell. They evidently think there is a fire. What a lot they have to learn! Oct. 2-The Senior class is again sponsoring the Redpath Chautauqua. Had a meeting today to discuss advertising. Nov. 10-Student Council is going strong this year. The officers were nominated by a petition signed by 30 members of the Student Associa- tion. Today the following officers were elected: President-Priscilla Marvin. Vice-President-Ruth Swanson.
