The 1951 Yellow . . The Annual Staff of Denison High School, which is responsible for putting out the Yellow Jacket, Denison High’s yearbook, plays an important part in recording the history of the school. It is through the newspaper and the annual that the events which occur during the school year are recorded for future reference, but the annual is the most lasting of all the means of recording these events. Therefore, the job done by the annual staff is one of prime importance, and one that takes at least an hour a day from ten students and one sponsor. Others help, but these eleven are the main ones who take the task of putting out a good yearbook. The staff is composed of an Editor, Business Manager, Art Editor, Advertising Manager, and Photographer, besides Junior assistants to these, who make up the Senior staff for the next year. It takes a great deal of hard work, but there is fun mixed in with this work. For example, four members of the staff and Miss Maggie Sommerville, the sponsor, attended the THSPA convention in Denton last winter. This is a convention attended by schools that are members of the Texas High School Press Association. This was the first year for many years that anyone from Denison had attended the convention, which made the fact that Tommy Cox was elected Treasurer of the Association even more outstanding. At the convention we saw exhibits of yearbooks from other schools all over the state and heard talks by sponsors of annuals who gave many valuable pointers on putting out yearbooks. The convention was very interesting for all who attended it. Joan Martin Editor Alyce Ann Wideman Business Manager It is hoped, as this book is read, that the reader will take into consideration the fact that a lot of hard work was involved, and will remember that those who had a hand in putting it out can honestly say “we did our best.” Also to those who helped us, we express our sincere thanks. This year we chose “as time passes” to be the theme of your yearbook. In composing this annual we have endeavored to show how every hour is spent by the students during the days which they attend D. H. S., thereby preserving some of your happiest moments. The Staff of the 1951 Denison Yellow Jacket Miss Maggie Sommerville Sponsor
