Good Evening, Ladies and Gentlemen - I am Linda Meeks, editor of the 1960 CORRAL, You are probably trying to guess why l'm here. Well, we'd like to take you on a guided tour of DHS by way of THE CORRAL. We hope to show you, on this personally guided tour, the many wonderful things about Devine includ- ing traditional activities as well as the more re- cent innovations. First, however, a few introductions must be made. I'd like you to meet this little fellow, our mascot, who is here beside me. Early in the year he appeared on our campus, and we immediately adopted him, and named him WALLY, THE WARHORSE. You will meet him many times on this tour as he tries to help us in guiding you through THE CORRAL. Our staff fell in love with WALLY and have allowed him to accompany us to many events, activities, and classrooms in our tireless effort to collect pictures and put into print the high points of 1959-1960 so that you might preserve them in your memories. Tense, exciting moments such as winning the Devine-Hondo game for the second consec- utive year, the Carnival Queen's race, pep ral- lies, the Valentine dance, the Junior-Senior Ban quet, and the long awaited Graduation, along with everyday happenings like getting an excuse sitting in the gym, being late to class, and meeting deadlines - all combine to make up only a small part of our school as you will see during our tour. If you are ready, let's get started on our tour by first getting acquainted with our admin- istrators, and then the rest of our school.
