DHS Highlights Include Food Tasting Banquet Michael Hardy's second drama production for 74-75 featured John Capps as the great astrologer Ptolemy in the play You Were Born on a Rotten Day. Many students acted in the play and many others created the spectacular stage setting which featured all of the signs of the zodiac. Early in the year, special activities included a Get Acquainted Dance sponsored by student council and a special performance by three DHS faculty members during the pep rally for football homecoming. Second semester world geography students invited a Para-gould, Arkansas teacher, Rachel Prince, to speak at the annual Food Tasting Banquet on May 15, 1975 at the DHS cafeteria. Mrs. Prince showed slides and talked about her experiences in India where she lived for nine weeks during the summer of 1974 as a Fulbright Scholar. Dorothy Rankin's fourth hour class prepared the food which included such dishes as sweet-sour beef, Mexican chicken, chocolate covered pretzels, and rosettes. 22

Several DHS Clubs Host Special Events Each club at DHS hosts several special activities during the year. French Club invited Jannick Fosse to speak to its members and be their guest at a French dinner on April 3, 1975. FHA sponsored a Cerebral-Palsy Walk-A-Thon which raised over $1300 for the Cerebral-Palsy Foundation. Linda Belcher collected the most pledges and most money by completing the 10 mile trek. FHA also hosted the FHA Regional meet-ting. Approximately 250-300 girls attended. Skits, entertainment, and installation of new officers filled the day. Youth for Community Betterment is not a DHS club, but it is composed fo DHS students. On March 31, several YCB's combined with Student Council members to paint the fire hydrants in the downtown area. During Strawberry Festival Week, May 18-25, they sold strawberry designed stationery and used the proceeds to buy music for the Community Choir.
