Senior Class History This story begins the year 1952. Into D,H, S. crept twenty-four Freshmen. The fright of high school didn't last long and they were soon entering into all activities. They chose Mrs. Aldridge as their sponsor. During the year they chose the following to lead them through their first year at Dongola High: Ronnie Joe Karraker, Presidentg Bobby Schluter, Vice-President, Patty Karraker, Secretary-Treasurer, Velda Sivia, Reporter, Mina Jo Plott, Student Councilg Phyllis Sheffer was chosen queen candidate with Bruce Williams as her escort. Carolyn Earnhart was elected F, F, A, Chapter Sweetheart. Phyllis Sheffer was chosen Cheerleader. When school bells next rang-out, only 19 Sophomores returned.
