History It was in the year of ’59, that we started back to De-Hi (Just feeling fine.) We were introduced to the teachers and staff, taught the rules and stuff like that. On Sept. 14, all of the kids looked down in the dumps, for it was T.B. patch time, but we all wished we had the mumps. On Sept. 15, was the teachers picnic and man don’t you think that was terrific. On Sept. 23, a day for the Seniors, that was the day we had our pictures took, we all dressed up and tried to look, just like a picture book. On Oct. 1, individual pictures were taken of the small frys and boy you should have seen the sparkle in their little eyes. On Oct. 2, varsity cheerleaders were picked, they were all so good that it was a trick to know who to pick. On Oct. 5, individual pictures were taken of the older kids, and everyone knows that they looked like Pros. On Oct. 14, was the first P.T.A. meeting, and all of our parents got a very welcome greeting. On Oct. 23, was the Northwestern Ohio Teachers meeting, and man was that cool, cause that’s the day we had no school. On Oct. 31, was the Senior Sock Hop, and we were glad to see you there, even if you did, get a hole in your sock. On Nov. 3, our school spirit rose, cause then we seen our basketball players and they looked just like Pros. We screamed and we yelled but De-Hi came through to show us just what good team work can do. Nov. 20, was a really full day, the band had a fish fry, and group pictures for the Annual were taken that day. Nov. 26 and 27, are really great days, not only for getting out of school, for it is Thanksgiving we should praise. The band made a trip to McClure on Dec. 2nd, the weather was bad but the concert was pleasant.
