SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 1946 In the fall of '44 four of we seniors, Betty Lue Dotterer, Ruth Evelyn Nossaman, Jo Ann Whitehead, and Jim Ferrell entered the schoolhouse as freshmen with a feeling of great achievement. After a week of this se1f-im- portant feeling the seniors took the wind out of our sails, quite abroubtly, by giving us a good dose of Freshmen Initiation. That freshrnen year, and the three following we learned many things which were not in the books. Several of which will have made us better citi- zens. At the middle of our Sophomore year Alyce La Vaun Miller joined our little group to make a total of five. She came here from Laramie, Wyoming. It took her quite awhile to get used to us after attending a school of 900 pupils, but now that we know one another we think she prefers Driftwood. We sailed along very smoothly during our junior year without much ex- citement until school was out when we took a trip with the senior class through Colorado. As we had put in our past three years making plenty of money to have a good time on we throughly enjoyed the occasion. This, our senior year, has been made happy by the thought that we would soon be able to go out into the world with an education. Our high school teachers were Mr. Ewing, our freshman and sophomore sponsor, Mrs. Weil, our junior sponsor, Mr. Hendricks, our Senior sponsor, Miss Ewing, Mr. and Mrs. Tarrant, Mr. Maddox, Mrs. Tate, Mrs. Hendricks, Mr. and Mrs. Gover, Mr. Rowland and Mrs. Stambough. We feel that each and every one of them have done their best to teach us the things that will help us in the future. We wish to thank them, at this time for their efforts and we sincerely hope they can someday point to us with pride and say, I taught that person in high school.

TO THE SENIORS OF '48 It was in the fall of '35, as we look back, That we first rode to school, in the old school hack. Our surroundings seemed strange and very new, As we tackled our tasks, with a will to do. Graduation then seemed far awayg But we did our best at work or play. Some times our grades were not the best, But we'd try again with new vim and zest. We made our grades year by year, But on some of our papers, we may have shed a tear We've all had fun and trouble, yet We look back over these years with no regret. To our fine teachers much credit is due, For their labor, sportsmanship and loyalty too. To our dear parents, We'll be forever in debt, For the sacrifices they have made, and yet, We know they would do it again For they feel that their efforts have not been in vain. We'd like for you to meet each of us, So here we are, without further fuss. The leader of our class is Jim, Always full of pep and virn. Athletically inclined is Betty Lue, She is a girl with a will to do. The midget of our class is Alyce, With love to all, and toward none malice, The sweetheart of our class is Ruth, A symbol of virtue and truth. Then here's happy go lucky Jo Ann, The pride and joy of a certain man. With few regrets and much joy We recall the schooldays of four girls and a boy. This is not a parting of the ways, But rather the end of our high school days. Though this parting is rather sad, we must We'll always cherish fond memories of D. H. S. H.G
