WE MADE HISTDRY IN OUR YEARS IN D. H S In the fall of 1940 we introduced ourselves to Dormont High as Danny and Dotty Dor- mont. We took over six report rooms-5, Miss McKinney, 51, Miss Dague, 107, Mr. Church, 108, Miss McLain, 204, Mr. Predmoreg 218, Mr. Reed. Later, Mr. Church's class picked up their books and trotted down to Room 100, where they remained for the rest of their stay in D. H. S. Like all the better classes, we had our dance. This was called the Fresh- men Fling. There were a few of us who non- chalantly flung ourselves to the dance, but the majority remained at home, buried in books. Thus we were duly initiated into the mysteries of Dormont High. Our Sophomore year found us becoming in- telligent and worldly. The school had built a new gym for us, and during dancing at lunch, we learned the truth about the manpower shortage. But we didn't worry about that. There were several couples, however, who saw their geometry problems in a romantic light and began to go steady. So we ended another year. It was inevitable that we should become Juniors, but still it left us dazed. As upper- classmen we had to assume responsibility and dignity. With the Weight of the world on our shoulders, we still found time to have a good time. Monthly dances were put on by Junior Councillors with recordings furnishing the musical background. At the end of this year we received our class rings. There was no doubt about it-we were at last ready to be- come Seniors. The great day finally dawned. We entered the school as Super-Seniors. We showed great intelligence and chose as our class officers Bob Dangott, President, Don Cerveris, Vice- Presidentg jinny Mansfield, Secretary, and john Steinhilper, Treasurer. Being a social group, we thronged to the dances held by the Dormonitor staff and the Cheerleaders' Club. Our interests turned to the usual Senior ac- tivities, which we undertook with our usual success. We showed good taste in choosing our class day colors-blue and white, and put on one of the best class day programs ever seen in Dormont High. Wfe ended the day with a classy prom, with rhythm beat out by a swell orchestra. It was a pleasure to relax long en- ough to go through baccalaureate and com- mencement exercises, and to suddenly find ourselves with diplomas. It was the perfect end to four perfect years, as we left the school to go out and help make more history. ,VL W' x ,JD
