We re On Our Way! It was a rather green, scared group of fresh- men, who, on September 6, 1949, entered the doors of D.H.S. to begin their first year of high school education. They received the usual amount of abuse from the upper classmen, but they weathered it exceptionally well and in due course of time they regained their com- posure enough to elect their class officers. They chose Jack Munson as president; Jack Sitter, vice-president; and Jim Warren, secretary-treas- urer. Late in the fall these lowly freshmen joined with their elders, the sophomores, and enjoyed the annual Frosh-Soph party which was a big success. The freshmen boys did their bit in athletics, gaining a few laurels for their class. Kennard Bowers excelled in football, while Jerry Webb, Dolevan Kerley, Jack Munson, and Gilbert Con- treras distinguished themselves in both football and basketball. Loyally supporting the team at all times was the cheering squad, of which Gretchen Pana was an important member. All in all, these freshmen gained a reputation for having plenty of pep and promised to be prominent in the social life and fun of the school. Surviving their first year with courage, they entered their sophomore year, not lacking in pep or spirit. As sophomores they determined to make a place for themselves in their Alma Mater and to establish a record second to none. In the fall they elected their class officers. Bob Hummel was elected president; Bill Ander- son, vice-president; and Jim Gorman, secretary- treasurer. In sports, the sophomore boys again made themselves known. Jack Munson, Jim DeYoung, Edward Coffey, Jerry Webb, Albert Shelton, Don Reeder, Dolevan Kerley, Jim Gorman, Allen Bohnhoff, Bill Anderson, Benny Sage, David Moves, and Roger Seaworth received letters for football, with Gil Contreras receiving the honor of being co-captain of the varsity squad Dolevan Kerley, Steve Lindell, Jack Munson, Don Reeder, Jim DeYoung, Jim Gorman, Benny Sage, and Chuck Willet each did his bit to help make the Frosh-Soph basketball team suc- cessful, while Douglas Ruby, Richard Wolf, and Ivan Adams were active on the cross-country team which was especially impressive this sea- son. Helen Sawyer and Gretchen Pana helped comprise the cheering squad for the frosh-soph basketball and football teams. Dick Gordon, Betsy Hoon, Carmen Cornette, and Bert Holland were with the Sophisti-Kats, Dixon High’s dance band. As to scholastic ability, these sophomores have created an especially good record with a great many of them reaching the honor roll every quarter. Closing their second year in high school, the sophomores are eagerly looking forward to their remaining years at D.H.S. and to being upperclassmen next year.
