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.

On Dec. 12, we all hopped and bobbed at the Freshman’s record hop. On Dec. 19, we the Seniors sponsored a Christmas Dance, and the way everyone danced you would have thought they were in a trance. Dec. 23, we waited and we waited to get out of school it was Christmas we cele- brated. It’s Jan. 4, and we all dug out our books, and trudged back to school with very sad looks, but give a cheer it’s not really so bad this old school year. On Jan. 8, the curtains went up and the Seniors came forth, they presented a play “Solid Gold Cadillac” of course, it was a smash hit we’ll all agree, and boy can those Seniors act—Yes sir—ee. During County Tournaments Pace’s tribe were really on the beam, they went out and showed that we’ve really got a team. The Seniors were glad to see March 27th roll around, for then we would be Washing- ton bound, we weren’t sitting down in that big town, cause you know us Seniors we’re always clownin round. On an evening in May, everyone came into the school really looking gay, the boys and girls were all dressed up, and we really thought that we were grown up, we ate and we danced and we really enjoyed ourselves, because this was our big Junior—Senior Prom. Today is the day known as Senior day, this is the day when we’ll read this poem, that we made just for the kids of D.H.S. on this afternoon the Seniors take the spotlight, so please undergraduates listen to us, and let your hearts fill with delight. Now we look behind us and our future lies before us, to some it is considered a time to be glad, but to most of us it is a time when we are sad. Undergraduates you envy us for being Seniors, but deep down we envy you for having your Senior year yet to come, now as we walk down the aisle in cap and gown we will try to hold back our tears and try to smile. As Commencement night is drawing near and our very last event in this school year. As we look out into the audience we know it has all been worth while as we see on our mother and father’s faces that big proud smile.
