This group of students, one from each homeroom, co- operates with both students and faculty in making Denfeld a school which maintains and up- holds high standards in schol- arship, conduct, and honor. This organization also develops, among all students, pride and a sense of responsibility in keeping the atmosphere of our school one of which we can al- ways be proud. This year's president, John Hierpe, started his iob out right by having the opportunity of representing Denfeld at a con- vention held in Boston. He at- tended this convention with Miss Louise Hall and several other Minnesota boys. He came back to us with many sugges- tions and plans to help build and better the Pyramid.

Denfeld spirit out-shines the flames of our pep rally bonfire. Along with helping to keep spirit and coopera- tion at Denfeld, the Pyramid also fosters a feeling of courtesy among the students. This was shown in the Courtesy Assembly put on by the Pyramid. Un- der the able leadership of John Hierpe and Miss Louise Hall, the Pyramid has had a year which all of Denfeld will long remember. The Pyramid has many projects which keep its members and the student body busy. The year started for them when they took over their share in the big pep bonfire before the Denfeld-Central football game. Also, collections for Community Chest and March of Dimes have been run smoothly by the Pyramid. An annual Denfeld tradition sponsored by the Pyramid is Tag Day. This comes lust before Christ- mas and is the time when all of Denfeld dig deep to help give needy families a Christmas dinner. This year eleven families were provided for. Again this year Denfeld held a magazine drive. Prizes were awarded and the high salespeople were taken to Hibbing to see a basketball game featuring the Globe Trotters. With the money the magazine drive brought in, a new drop curtain and stage equipment were bought for our audi- torium.
