Hewitt Industrial Forms Arts Club A new club was formed this year; lota Alpha Delta, the Greek letters meaning ‘industrial Arts Club of Dexter.” The club was formed and led by James Hewitt. In order to become a member, the student must have or presently been enrolled in an Industrial Arts class, and have at least an M average in all classes. The officers for this first-year club are president, Bob Henry; vice-president, Don Seymour; secretary, Janet Jones; treasurer, Myron Litzler; reporter photographer, Steve Bell; and sentinel, Jeff Cox. The club chose blue and gold for their colors, and a club crest was designed by Ralph Morgan. Activities included making decoupage plaques to sell at school and the annual Strawberry Festival in order to make money, and they volunteered many hours of work to help clean out the trash and rubbish from the Heritage House which recently burned. Since the club organized late in the year, they had very few projects. Next year, they have hopes of having several tours throughout Dexter and in the major industries in the Bootheel, and create a greater awareness of the workings of industries. Members of the recently formed Industrial Arts club are front row left to right; M. Averett, R. Abbott, and R. Morgan. Second row, James Hewitt, sponsor, D. Seymour, B. Henry, J. Jones, D. Garner, M. Litzler, and J.Cox. 24

Some Days Are Extra-Ordinary for DHS’ers Extraordinary things happen at DHS from time to time, at least for some of its students. Dances, special club activities, assemblies, and queen coronations head the list. September opens with the “Get Aquainted Dance’’ and the Miss DHS Contest. In October, students participate in Spirit Week with the coronation of football homecoming queen on that Friday night before the game. Band students hold their annual Christmas Dance in December and DHS’s Snowflake Queen is crowned in January. Other special activities for 75-76 included basketball homecoming and the queen coronation, the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the Prom, and end-of-the-year trips by several clubs.
