1 Me L74 Hl3'f0 y As I look back to the days twelve years ago, I cannot help but think of those 23 trembling little souls who left the shelter of their homes and were led into the bustling world of schoollife. Thus we started our first grade. We were Audrey Mae Dunning, Mary Jean Hartman, Ada Louise Mathias, Elizabeth Ann McNeely, Martha Meyer, Donna Naegele, Kathryn Jean Schwanholt, LaVerne Thayer, Scharline Utter, Margarette Ryle, Wanda Williocte, Kay Ellen Long, Melvin Lee Cleeter, John Daniels, Frederick Daugherty, Paul Vernon Davies, Theodore Graver, Joe Hehe, Evert Kells, Edward Payton, James Richardson, Patricia Zeh, Patricia Huffman. The next years were eventful ones for us. Any by the time we had completed the eighth grade we were sure there was no more to learn. We simply knew it all. Our teachers spent the next year or so trying to prove differently. That freshman year there were 27 of us, Paul Beckwith, Evert Chase, Melvin Cleeter, Albert Dennis, Gail Lee Ellison, Lonnie Housmeyer, Garnette Huber, Patty Huffman, Janet Johnson, Vera Ketenbrink, Virgil Laaker, Kay Ellen Long, Ada Mathias, Donald Mathias, Ann McNeely, Martha Meyer, Donna Naegele, Edward Payton, Martha Randall, Muriel Rothe, Jean Sehwanholt, Bonnie Scudder, Marlene Turner, Scharline Utter, Opal Vinup and Dewayne Selemeyer. The next year our schoolwork got a little harder, but we were beginning to feel like veterans in our high school life. That year we lost Dewayne Selemeyer, Paul Beckwith, Marlene Turner, and Bonnie Scudder. We gained Ted Hardin and Arthur Field. Our junior year we lost all of our Bear Branch classmates, Lonnie Housmeyer, Vera Ketenbrink, Muriel Rothe, Opal Vinup, Evert Chase, Arthur Field, and Gladys Dennis. We also lost Albert Dennis, Gail Ellison, Ted Harding that left just 15 of us. This was the year of our class play Saved by the Belle.' We also gave e prom for the seniors and our theme was Blue Moon. And now we leave dear old D. H. S. There are just l3 of the original 23. We now have our heads crammed full of knowledge and we feel ready to take our stand on life.
