O From country schools, neighboring towns, parochial schools, and the Central, came the sixty- tive members of the freshman class. Many of them were dazed and confused by their new sur- roundings. However, they soon became acquaint- ed with their classmates, teachers, and subjects. Their subjects consisted of algebra, general math, English, Latin, home economics, general science, industrial arts, and farm shop. They elected officers just like normal people do. Amid cries of I got cheated! Count 'em agaln! and Who stuffed the ballot box? came the voice of Miss Moore, one of the class sponsors, announcing, Bill Willroth, presidentg Ray Chris- tiansen, vice-presidentg Dick Stump, secretary- treasurer. Most of the boys started football in the fall. Bill Willroth, Ray Christiansen, Jobe McClellan, Dick Hennings, and Charles Anderson all partici- pated in this sport, on the high school team. Freshmen played an active part during the home-coming festivities. This included putting on a skit at the bonfire and sponsoring a float in the parade called Our Team Is Red Hot. f After the completion of the football season many of the boys continued their athletic activi- ties in basketball, two playing on the high school team, Ray Christiansen and Charles Anderson. Others play junior high basketball under the sup- ervision of Mr. Lapitz. Some boys who didn't play but who were of great assistance as manag- ers were Dick Hennings and Donald Danielson. In the spring a few freshmen went out for track ' The girls' activities in sports included volley ball and basketball, which Miss Best directed. In this manner they were able to obtain points for G. A. A., into which they were initiated later on. The ninth graders also took part in musical groups. These were boys' and girls' glee clubs, mixed chorus, and band. The class decreased when it lost a few of the original members. These were Joyce Stolze, Dor- othy Speer, Joan Swartwood, Mary Meeves, Wal- ter Brown, and Aldora Kleingarn.

Carolyn Calvin, Betty Bland! Gcorgene Siucrt 0 After the traditional snake dance through thc main streets of Denison, D. H. S. students gath- ered around a huge bonfire south of the Court House. At the bonfire a new idea was carried out suc- cessfully with each high school class presenting a pantomime featuring some of the students as Den- ison and Carroll. In the senior skit, Denison fought Carroll for Miss Victory's hand in mar- riage and won. The Juniors portrayed Denison and Carroll dueling. The defeated Carroll was thrown into the bonfire. The Sophomores pre- sented Red Riding Hood, Victory, as the object of a Denison and Carroll dispute. Of course, Deni- son won Victory. The Perfect Crime was given by the Freshmen. Denison with his one body- guard found Carroll backed by two bodyguards hiding behind a door-Carroll was overpowered and shot. Numerous school cheers echoed through the night and the band helped with appropriate pieces. Friday afternoon the student body marched up town shouldering colorful pennants. Each high school class, the F. F. A. and eighth grade decor- ated floats for the parade. In the main section of town the cheerleaders led the students in school cheers, following which Terry Knott, Monarch captain, gave a short address, The crowning of the Queen, Betty Brandt, by Coach Wilson was the highlight of the parade.
