Every freshman class is con- sidered green, and ours will parade along with all the rest. Our first days in the halls of D. H. S. were trying ones, and room mixups and shyness did not miss our class. The fall of our freshman year passed quickly and some of the brawny boys of the class received minor letters at the close of the football season: Roger Bivins, Bob Alexander, Clyde Cooley, Hugh Cruse, Jack Hansen, Fred lvleinke, and John Woodyatt. C-.A.A. initiation was a gala affair with the usual painted faces, crazy tricks, and all the food one could eat. During the fall and win- ter the freshmen were well represented in Fresh- man-Sophomore Literary Society, Language Club, Travel Club, Home Ec Club, F.F.A. and C.A.A. The freshman class gaily entertained the other students of D. H. S. at their Victory theme assembly with Gerald Reynolds as master of cere- monies. Our class officers were Clyde Cooley, president, Kenneth Utz, vice presidentg June Baker, secretary-treasurer. Time moved along and our class kept up with everyone. ln what seemed a very short time, we were sophisticated sophs who could glance down at a new, green freshie class. A great variety of talent was uncovered in the sophomore class during the second year in D. H. S. How could we ever forget this yearl Everyone remembers the sleigh rides, the Pope and Warner parties, hay rides and all the girls' nicknames which have stuck till this last year. Again we made merry for students and faculty members with our Soph- omore Assembly, A C-ay Nineties Review. Our class officers were: Fred Meinke, president, Carmen Leonard, first vice-president: Kenneth Utz, second vice-president, Russell Byers, secre- tary-treasurer. lt was a great day when we joined the ranks as upper classmen. The excitement has really never left, but has cooled down some since the first weeks of our third year. Major letters for foot- lContinued on page l8l 10

OEEICE GIRLS Good natured, capable, and most efficient are the office girls. They are both a credit and a help to Dixon High School. Mrs. Stella Cirobe came to Dixon from Maryland and was graduated from Dixon High School in 1931. ln 1932 she began working in the office. Besides handling sup- plies and business correspondence, Stella is secretary to Superintendent A. H. Lan- caster. Alice Thomson, who came to Dixon from Iowa, attended North Central Elementary School and was graduated from the Dixon High School. She is in charge of issuing ad- mits and is also secretary to Principal B. J. Frazer. The office girls' day starts long before school commences and continues long after the students have left the building. Everyone in Dixon High School appreci- Stella Cirobe Alice Thomson ates what the office girls are doing for them and the seniors especially wish to thank them for their thoughtfulness, and kind- hearted consideration. Our Year Book would not be complete without a small write-up about our janitors, nor would our school itself be complete without them. They are the men who are always on hand to be of service to students and faculty members alike. Mr. E, E. Childs has served longest on the maintenance staff. Assisting him on the first floor is Albert Beede. On the second and third floors, Mr. Clarence Bates divides his time. Mr. Bert Buehler is always on hand at night as watchman. ln the morn- MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT Left to right: Oliver Colebaugh, Clarence Bates, E. E. Childs, Albert Beede. ings lvlr. Oliver Colebaugh takes care of the locker rooms and keeps the cafeteria look- ing neat and clean. Aside from the jobs mentioned the jani- tors perform numerous other duties, such as dusting the rooms, keeping the halls lighted between classes, cleaning the blackboards, and helping students open their lockers. These men, who are always willing to be of assistance, are a great help in promoting the smooth functioning of school activities.
