Dear D.H.S. Underclassmen Just a little note to tell you about our four years at D.H.S. It was not all play, but quite a bit of work. We started in high school just as green as you were, but look how we turned out! You can do the same too, if you follow in our footsteps. As we stepped on to the prison grounds, we were suddenly faced with a large group of upper-classmen and realized that we were expected to fulfill the tasks which had been fulfilled before us. As Green Freshmen we planted the seed of learning that was to develop into the Fruit of Knowledge. Mrs. Sandifer helped us sink our roots deep into the fertile soil of textbooks. Braving all the hardships and drought with the help of our advisors Mrs. Sandifer and Mr. Hale, we finally gained the title of Silly Sophomores. Our Junior year was one of our best years. As Jolly Juniors,” we ordered our rings. Our Junior play was Antics of Andrew.” Our Junior-Senior Banquet went off like a bang! It was simply wonderful, even though we were, with Mrs. Barnett’s help, still working on it while the guests were eating. Our theme was Call of The Wild. At last now we are nearing the top of the ladder. As Sophisticated Seniors,” Perry Gifford is our President; Warren Massey, Vice-President; Joanna Burns, Secretary; and Carolyn Massey, Treasurer. Our Senior class play is Look Behind You. Our class motto is Forward ever, backward never. We have chosen blue and white as our class colors and the red rose is our class flower. As our Senior year is rapidly passing away, we are eagerly anticipating our coveted diplomas and our Senior trip. As you can see this hasn’t been a bit dull, now has it? So the best of luck to the Underclassmen. We hope you have as much fun, and as much cooperation from the students and faculty, as we have had. Sincerly yours, Wanda Jane Howard Senior Class

Setuox (Hoa SWefifiecy, Joanna Burns As I sit here looking to the globe, I see Lieutenant and Mrs. Zane Graves, formerly Dixie Courtney, who are now residing at Miami, Florida, where Lieutenant Graves is furthering his army career and Dixie is caring for her twin girls. As I gaze longer into the globe, I see Mrs. Jimmie Simons, formerly Joan Norris, residing at their ranch-style home on Reading Road, Cincinnati, Ohio. Warren Massey and Henry Norris are struggling to make ends meet by raising tobacco on Wolf Run Road. Hiram Clough has gone to Cynthiana to join the unknown. Because of his great popularity with the people in that city, he has been made Mayor of the town. Then I see the former Carolyn Massey, in her lovely home in Portsmouth, Ohio, where her husband, Billy Brayfield, is now over-seer of the Portsmouth Construction Plant. Then there’s Perry Gifford, the owner of the largest gambling casino, the Golden Nugget, in Las Vegas, Nevada. In his spare time, he runs his ranch in Austin, Texas, as a hobby. Then I see our famous magician, Tyler the Great, alias, Johnny White, who is now giving a performance at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Stanley Clark (the brain) is now Professor of Science at the University of Paris, Paris, France. The Romeo of the 1956 Senior class, Stanley Woods, is now playing a leading role in one of Holly woods most romantic movies, Lover Boy. I keep on gazing until I see another figure, none other than Wendell Ellison. He is a very successful farmer in Bourbon County. In the big city of Nashville, Tennessee, Jane Howard, now Mrs. Robert Gallagher, is attending to the little Gallaghers while Bobby serves his time with the U.S. Army. The new-comer to our Senior class, blonde Sandy Cline, has just finished her studies for a dietician. In the fall, she will begin her work in the Deming Home Economics Department. Since 1 now know that all my former class-mates are happy and settled, 1 can relax here on my huge Hereford cattle ranch in the wide open spaces.” My address is “The Rushing G-E Ranch, Denver, Colorado.
