Here in the sick bay, Miss Beck, the school nurse, or one of her assistants will gladly care for any of a variety of ailments The main objects of the Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation are all directed toward promoting the guidance and education of young people at home, in school, and in the community The assistants are girls who have given up a free period to work in the clinic They help to keep a record of all students who come there Of course, for a serious disorder, Miss Beck herself will always take charge At each meeting the parents and teachers join together to discuss and try to solve all the problems that may arise during the student’s high-school career. Often outside speakers give helpful talks on some phase of teen-age life Along with giving medical aid, Miss Beck has the responsibility of issuing health cards and recording the height and weight of each student The P-T.-A. annually sponsors Open House, which gives the parents a chance to informally meet their children’s teachers.

The Council s ledger was kept seasonally busy with at least one major event occuring during each time of year They sponsored the Freshman Party in the fall, the Alumni Dance during the Christ- mas season, the Turn-About Dance in late winter, and the Senior Social and annual council picnic in the spring. They also purchased new outfits for the cheerleaders and published new student directories During the Armistice Day program a memorial plaque, commemorating the boys who died in World War II, was presented to the school by the Council When the Student Council adjourned this spring, its achievements distinguished it in the log of our school as one of our best legislative bodies.

 Yuletid ? celebration in 211 Mr Miller's algebra miracles Parliamentary preliminaries Their first school dance teamen Well, here we are at last!” exclaimed the freshmen as they came aboard last fall The up- per classmen greeted them with the usual pranks, but it soon became apparent to all that these were no ordinary seamen. They immediately started taking part in the various school activities. Several received parts in the All-School Play and did very well. Others showed an aptitude in legislation through their active work in Student Council. Both girls and boys quickly joined clubs. Hi-Y, Camera, and Electricity clubs were most popular among the boys The girls joined G.A.A. and Y-Teens, several were active on the boards of each. Some prepared entertainment skits for the Carnival and club meetings. The many language groups in school would have felt the absence of these energetic freshmen. Their active participa- tion was especially noticeable at games The freshmen boys turned out en masse for football, basketball, and other sports, and with a little training, should provide our school with some fine teams. Within our doors, you, the freshmen of D.G. H.S., will find a world of friendship and work. You will find your voyage through school one marked by happiness and responsibility. Here is a place where each student is important and each has an equal chance.
