OUR PROTEGES, THE JUNIORS May we present the juniors-the graduating class of 1940? Here they are, one hundred sixty-eight bright and smiling D. H. S. students with three years of pleasant memories behind them and a great many years of progress and success before them. As they review the past three years, many things stand out vividly in their minds- class parties, clubs, athletic events, class work, and association with classmates. When they entered our school in 1936, there were one hundred ninety-two of them,-each one just a little bewildered at the things going on about himg but they soon got into the swing of things, overcame any bashfulness they might have had, and plunged into their work with whole-hearted enthusiasm. During that year they had their freshman parties which were the height of their social whirl. Their clubs, the Freshman-Sophomore Literary Society, Latin Club, G. A. A., Home Ec Club, Ag Club, Orchestra, and bank kept them busy from week to week, with little time for mischief. The athletic minded boys went out for the teams, and many of them saw their names in the line-ups that year. In 1937, one hundred seventy-eight of them enrolled as sophomores with renewed interest in their high school career. No longer freshmen and long since free from the taunts and ridicule of the upper classmen, they were at leisure to go about their business in their own way. Nineteen of these young men and women joined the advanced glee club and took part in the operetta Tune In . Many of the boys were on the basketball, football and track teams, and still others were on the tennis and golf teams. Their two sophomore parties were both very successful. At the last one, an extremely interesting program with skits by each home- room was arranged with Orville Gearhart and Junior Dunkelberger as Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, Theda Emmole as Baby Snooksg musical numbers by the Phalen twins and Georgia Eastman, tap-dancing by Opal Henleyg and short plays by members of two other home-rooms. The main attraction of the evening was dancing to the music of the orchestra engaged for the evening. This, their junior year, has been an even more eventful one for the remaining one hundred sixty-eight students of the class. Eight of the students from their ranks filled roles in Anne of Green Gables . Bette Witzleb had the title roll, and Theda Emmole, Julia Amell, Margot Howard, Mabel Potter, Georgia Eastman, Jean Quilhot, and Ward Smith were in the supporting cast. Elwood McCleary held the leading male role in a mystery-comedy play, Tiger House, and Margot Howard played in this production also. This year still more of them had parts in the operetta, Hollywood Extra with Sterling Schrock, Evelyn VVorsley, Georgia Eastman, and Farnwell Stauffer having solo roles. During the last semester of this year the DIXINI staff was made up almost entirely of juniors who will continue their journalistic work next year. The grand climax to a year filled with interesting activities for this class in the junior-senior Prom, which is a fitting end to a very pleasant year. Page 23
