The Forty-Niners To the class of '19 il hardly seems possible that it was four years ago that we first crossed the threshold of Dixon lligh. We had many fears to overcome and many things to learn. llowever, it was not long before we had mastered the intricate and necessary rules that we have adhered to fmost of the timej since we were green . Wie were soon caught up in the whirl of activities that have given us the chance of gaining knowledge outside of academic studies. Vive joined such orfiani- zations as Latin Club, Spanish Club, llome l'ic Club, and Ag Club. Together we elected class officers: Don Memler, president: ,lim Mcliean, vice-president: and ,lim Slagle, secretary-treasurer. Athletics held a prominent place during our first two years. Boys earning football letters their sopho- more year included ,lim l'helps,',lim Piesehel, llenry Woodyatt, Stanley Fish, Steve Christ, Frank lloyle, Lorenzo Contreras, Ken Church, Arden Strub, Dave Lahey, Fred Reinert, Gerald Vaile, and Dean McMillion. Some of the soph basketball lettermen were .lim Pieschel, Chuck l'illiott,.lim Phelps, and Stanley Fish. The girls became members of the tl.A.A. while fresh- men and sophomores. Three girls active in this group were jackie Rybick, ,lean Rogers, and Bonnie jenkins. For officers of our second year in D. ll. we chose Stanley Fish as president: Margery Diehl, vice-presi- dent: and .lim llinkle, secretary-treasurer. Several assemblies brought out talent in the class of 719. l'ixamples would be the singing voices of M arilyu Cooper and ,loan Dwyre, the tap steps of ,loanne Cleary, and the piano solos of Fat Plumb. ln the fall of lf-ll-7 we became lower upperclassmen. To lead our class through this school year we elected Fat Wagner, Wit-ndell Mathews, and ,lim llinkle as president, viee-president, and secretary-treasurer, re- spectively. Positions on the Dixini were opened to tts as juniors, musings-. 12 and those appointed to staff positions included Jim Gannon, managing editor: Marianne Reilly, assistant news editor: Don Memler, assistant copy editor: Joanne Cleary, assistant feature editor: .lim Slagle, assistant sports editor: Pat Wagner, art editor: Margaret Sharkey, assistant advertising manager: Marilyn Reed, exchange editor: and Zoe Ann Baxley, circulation manager. ln football we were represented by Steve Christ, Lorenzo Contreras, Stanley Fish, Dave Lahey, .lim Phelps, and Delmar Wolf-all lettermen. During this season both Fish and Lahey were injured and out of play for several weeks. Forty-niners on the basketball court were Vern Baker, Steve Christ, Chuck Elliot, Stanley Fish, Dave Lahey, .lim Phelps aml ,lim Picschel. Juniors appeared in both productions of the Dramatic Club this school term. livery Family llas Une, by George Batson, brought out the talents of ,lim Gannon, Mickey ,lewett, Wiayne Thomas, Ray Rhoads, Carl Buchner, Don Memler, and Nadine Wolf. ln the sec- ond play of the year, lVlidnight , by Glenn llughes, return performances were made by Jim Gannon, Mickey ,lewett, Nadine Wolf, and Wayne Thomas, with Dorene Slick and Pat Schofield also contributing their acting abilities. The climax of the year was the prom: we shall never forget that great event. Seniors , . , UPPER upperclassmen . . . Allllhhh . . . The very thought, made us feel good. But we didn't have time to dwell upon the subject, for the rush started-sign this and that for records, meetings, re- hearsal, study, game, dance, test tomorrow--Wihewl On the gridiron, Stanley Fish, Frank lloyle, Frank Nagy, Delmar Vlvolf, Dave Lahey, Lorenzo Contreras, Jim Phelps, Jim Pieschel, and Chuck Elliott werethe seniors helping to bring about an improved season. The social committee, with seniors Glenna Murphy, Ken Church, Viayne Hummel, Tom jordan, and .ferry Conroy, sponsored dances after the basketball games this year., with the music provided by the Sophisti-Kats, whose membership included fourth term students Don Memlcr, Merrill Richards, llarrison McDonald, and Bill hlahan. ,lim Phel rs, Dave Lahey,Chuck Elliott,,Iim Pieschel, Stanley Fislh, Steve Christ, Vern Baker, and Joe llicks were the senior cagers who helped place Dixon in the third place in the N.C.l.C. You Can't Take lt With Yon , a three act comedy by Hart and Kaufman, had nine forty-niners included in its cast. They were Don Memler, Nadine Wolf, Gordon Bennett, Wayne Thomas, Bill Mahan, Shirley Dudman, Jim Hinkle, Harrison McDonald, and Ray Rhoads. The president of the senior class this past year was Vlvendell Mathews: vice-president, Frank Nagy: and Secretary-treasurer, .lerry Conroy. The editor-in-chief of the Dixini the last semester was Marianne Reilly, who replaced ,lim Gannon. The other editors included seniors Mickey ,lewett, news editor: Esther Reynolds, copy editor: Donna Cable, feature editor: Jim llinklc, s morts editor: .lackie Rybick, art editor: and Dorene Slick, advertising editor. Of course, the events taking mlace the last few days of school were, to us, historica occasions. The final week of formal attire and the prom, and of blue caps and gowns and baccalaureate and graduationwill be a cherished memory. Sometime in the future, when we pause to think of days gone by, our thoughts will return to Dixon High School, the friends we made there, the knowledge and experience that we gained there, and we shall thank all those people connected with Dixon lligh for showing us solid ground before we started on our path through life.
