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.

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.

Emphasis on Speech Speech is rapidly becoming one of the most ac- tive extra-curricular activities at Denfeld. During the past year approximately sixty students from all three classes took part in some phase of speech. The group enioyed a highly successful season. At the N. F. L. tournament Denfeld had a represent- ative go into the finals in every division except hu- morous declamation and took first place in the total contest. Out of the nineteen students going into the Reg- ion 7 tournament from District 2, ten were from Denfeld. This meant that of the fourteen Denfeld entrants in the district contest ten went on to the regional. From the regional contest one Denfeld student went on to the state contest. That student was Lar- ry Johnson in dramatic declamation. Other fields of concentration were extempora- neous speaking, humorous declamation, memorized and original oratory, discussion and manuscript reading. The group also took part in contests at Coleraine and Cloquet. 28 Row 1: Lois Holmes, Sharon Lowe. Row 2: Larry DeSanto, Virginia Buus, Jean Williams.
