Nine months ago they selected the following officers to guide them through the term: Virginia Peters, president, Tom Osborn, vice-president, Jerry Osborn, secretary-treasurer, and Barbara Skeen, yell leader. Mrs. Pinkston, Mrs. Anderson, and Mrs. Apple were chosen sponsors. The seniors were proud that all the queenships were filled by members of their class - Jackie Martin, football, Sharon Bowen, band, and Norma Sue Johnson, basketball. Queen attendants were Jean Morris, Sue Mead, and Shirley Watson. Four of the five Student Council offices were held by seniors. Roger Deeba was vice-president, Jean Morris, secretary, Esther Carter, treasurer, Shirley Watson, yell leader, and Frank Hess and Beverly Pruitt were senior representatives. In December Shirley and Jean were delegates to the state Student Council convention. Promoting school spirit as yell leaders were Shirley Watson, Sharon Bowen, and Norma Sue Johnson. Band maiorettes were Jackie Horning and La Don Walbridge. Near the end of the year, it was disclosed that Jean Morris and Jerry Osborn were Highest Ranking Girl and Boy, and Frank Hess and Jean Morris, Best Thespians. Kenneth Lawson won the science award, and Beverly Pruitt, the commercial award. Some of the high points of the year were the senior play, The Bishops Mantle, the class assembly, and the iunior-senior banquet. Another high point was when Frank Hess won a S25 bond and a chance for a scholarship to the University of Tulsa by piling up the most points in the Going to College quiz. Near the middle of the year, the seniors purchased a television antenna as a gift to D.H.S. from the Class of '53, The biggest task of the year, however, was the production of the FUTURE CITIZENS.
