RALPH CLARENCE WRIGHT Ralph Clarence Wright was born february 9. 1928. l'le's one native son who isn't likely to become a rolling stone. since he's always lived in the house where he was born. Ralph is a person who likes to keep busy, and manages to do pretty well, at it, - raising small animals, such :ts goldfish and snails. Other activities which he en- joys are typing, and shop-work. Maybe he'll go in for raising chickens sometime as chicken, along with French toast. is his favorite food. His dislikes are very decided.

HISTORY DF THE CLASS OF 315 Now you see us - next year you won't lwe hopel - racing around the premises of De- posit High School. High school life hasn't been just four years of hard studying to us for we have made our mark in the sands of time CDepositJ in the entertainment field. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Bieber, we started our Freshman year rolling. We elected officials who were: president, Martha Shackelton, vice-president, john Hall, secre- tary, james johnson, treasurer, Vine Adel1Barnhart. We sponsored two functions this year, our first a bake sale, the proceeds of which became a gift to the Student Council. 'lf you can do it once, you can do it again. So - this time a round and square dance which found the Red Cross twenty dollars richer. Our activities netted us enough at the end of the year, by cooperating in the Senior Sales of Christmas cards so that we gave five dollars to the Yearbook. Thus our year ended, each member having become a little brighter in one way or another, and every teacher wondering if he could stand us for three more years. After enjoying ten weeks of vacation, you could see us walking Qwe could walk this year - we felt as though we were a little, more importantl around the halls of D.C.H.S. Under the leadership of jack Hall, president 5 Martha Shackelton, vice-president, Olga Milhal- kovic, secretary, Vine Adell Barnhart, treasurerg and Mrs. Bieber as advisor, we accom- plished a little more. For our first function, we ambitiously sold eight gross of pencils with the football schedule printed on them. Next, along with a round and square dance, we presented a carnival earlier in the evening. This phenomenon netted us forty-two dollars. We proceeded at our merry pace with a mistletoe dance, December 29. To make things livelier, we had a bake sale which added considerably to our treasury. To climax the year, we took a trip to Binghamton to spend the day - just traipsing around the town and arriv- ing home late at night, dead tired. Another summer gone and once more we're back. This year our class was led by president, john Hall, vice-president, Mary Marshman, secretary, Jane l-leblerg treasurer, Vine Adell Barnhart, and adviser, Mrs. Bieber. We started the year with our annual bake sale with oodles of money made. To complete our first semester, we sold cadet cards. We also held our carnival and dance, a bigger success than the preceeding year. Bup Shackelton and Rita Gransbury made their debut as 'Sinatran and Dina Shore of D.C.l-l.S. at this event. Another one of our annual functions we're known for was the Mistletoe Dance. It was enjoyed by all this year too, although we didn't have a blackout. We started the new year, 1944, with the ball rolling. February 26 and March 10 we held a couple of those enjoyable hog rassels' tround and square dancing to youj. Even if we did hold our next function, a bake sale, on April Fool's Day, the baked goods were as delicious as ever. The junior Bunny-Hop Koriginal, aren't wel was held April 14 with a large attendance of aanimalsn. We followed with another round and square dance, May 13. The junior Queen Election resulted in Rita Gransbury's election as Queen with the follow- ing attendants: Vine Adell Barnhart, Mary Marshman, Helen Rathbone, Glenna Hoadley, Martha Shackelton and Margaret Hamlin. The big event was held June 23 - the big moment for everybody - the junior Prom. Jack Burr's orchestra furnished the music for the dance, which was held at Scott's Casino. It was the most successful Junior Prom in the history of D. C. H. S., both financially and otherwise. Our first three years being very lively, we started our Senior year off at an even livelier pace and kept it up. Our debut in the Social world this year, was two block dances held at Atwood's Garage. Our crowds enjoyed themselves immensely and everyone wore out at least one pair of shoes on the concrete. Another round and square dance was our next function held at the gym this time, in October. When Election Day rolled around, we held a dinner 'at the cafeteria which reimbursed our treasury considerably. The biggest paying project of our year was the selling of magazines which netted us S125 for two weeks work. We also sold Christmas cards and stationery. Our annual carni- val in December was a bigger success this year with a floor show during intermission of the dance. We started the new year off with one of our famous bake sales and in February, we held a delicious meat loaf supper, with plenty to eat. Due to restrictions on dances because of the coal shortage, we didn t hold our next function, a round and square dance, until March. Of course, one of the greatest accomplishments was our Senior Play which we presented twice. The cast was ably headed by Alfred Kenrick and Helen Rathbone, Jane l-lebler and Connie Williams. Other members of the cast were jack Hall, Mary Marshman, Vine Adell Barnhart, Martha Shackelton, Malcolm Early, Rita Gransbury, Gorman Carson and Lloyd Wheeler. To end our four grand and glorious years at Deposit, we left April second for New York on our Senior trip. We returned home weary and happy to sleep in our own beds, al- though after a few days of rest, we'd have been glad to start all over again. 20
