Here We Go! As the seniors glance back over their four years at DHS, they can recall many happy ex- periences. Remember way back on September 9, 1947, when as freshies they were wandering around the corridors of DHS, dressed in green baby bonnets, and carrying dolls or pulling shiny red wagons? In the afternoon an assembly was held to introduce the class. Chic Hurst starred with his recital of Goody-goody Gumdrop Cookies . Now the class really belonged to DHS. One of the most important events of their first year was the election of class officers: Jim Mercer was elected president; Floyd Acker, vice-president; and Bob Russell, secretary-treas- urer. The athletic field was a challenge to the boys. The limelight was shining on Floyd Acker when he played on the varsity squad in foot- ball. Freshmen members of the Frosh-Soph team included Bob Russell, Wayne Hufford, Jim Mer- cer, Ernest Brink, Dennis Mooney, Roland Helms, Glenn Kastner, LeRoy Kloth, John Jones and Gilbert Richards. The freshmen girls, too, held their place in sports. They had a snappy GAA basketball team composed of Joyce Potter, Esther Con- treras, Peggy Sue Anderson, Irene Atkinson, Mary Ellen Rosbrook, and Carole Stoddard. After a successful freshman year, they rose to greater heights as sophomores the UPPER- lower classmen. As the year rolled along, the usual task of electing class officers came When the votes were counted, the results were as follows: Floyd Acker, president; Mary Ellen Rosbrook, vice-president; Bill Lafferty, secretary-treasurer. An outstanding event of that year was the Christmas Program. Chuck Russell, Bill Palen, Robert Knicl, Bob Russell, Bill Spielman, Paul Bay, Barbara Heck and Mary Joan Gibson rep- resented the sophomore class. Again that year the sophomores were rep- resented in sports with Jim Mercer displaying special talent. Other stars were Floyd Acker, Bill Lafferty, Kelly Kappler, Ernie Brink, Chic Mathews, Danny Heck, and Wayne Hufford. The sophomores had two years experience behind them and were looking forward to the next two years as real honest-to-goodness upper classmen. The class of '51 was really proud as they entered their junior year. This was one of the most thrilling years in their high school career. There were one hundred and thirty-five mem- bers in the class, and out of these three boys had the honor of being elected class officers. Floyd Acker was elected president; Kelly Kap- pler, vice-president; and Wayne Hufford, sec- retary-treasurer. The class sponsored an All-School party in the fall to raise money for expenses connected (Continued on page 17) President—Oick Anderson Vice-president—floyd Acker Secretary-treasurer Wayne Hufford 10
