Dale Huhtala, Bob Burt, lorry Schuman, Glen Nelson and Jim Felten are absorbed in a game of chess. Room 307 is one of the busiest places in Denfeld. lt is the site of the Criterion, our school paper. All activity centers around presenting the Cri to the students every two weeks. This year's staff, guided by Editor-in-chief Glen Nelson and Adviser Miss Margaret Gatzweiler, has done an excellent iob. A new position-the man- aging editor-was added to the staff this year. The position was filled by James Felten, who was in charge of all copy. The staff has made a serious effort to fulfill their goals: To provide an interesting paper to the stu- dents, to inform the students, and to keep Denfeld on the map. The latter is their motto, and they have fulfilled it successfully and efficiently.

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. Y 5 Q David Michaud and Don Carlson, two top salesmen, look John Hierpe and Dale Huhtala help get the ball rolling with over the prizes with Mr. Spencer. an effective bulletin board. 25

Annual in Production l l The tantalizing aroma of rubber cement, thinner, and fresh paint, and the steady beat of the typewriter are all synonymous with the Oracle office. The l952 staff began its year at a new lo- cation with a freshly painted office. The staff attended the Minnesota State High School Press Convention, held at Central, and picked up pointers for a more modern yearbook. With this fresh start the staff began work on the edition of the i952 annual. Selecting the cover, taking subscriptions, de- signing the dummy, cropping and mounting pic- tures, and proof reading are iust a few of the many iobs that were done by staff members and the editor, Marilynn Henry. Under the expert guidance of Miss Belle Kaake and Mr. Clayton Shulstad, the staff en- deavored to give you an accurate summary of John Blosack, Joanne Eilers, Marilynn Henry, Pot Williams and lhe Ye0l S eVet'llS.
