The first name which was called to their attention motiva- ted a reflection on the years the young man had spent here-a man whose sense of humor, love of teaching, fair-play on the gridiron, fineness, and manliness in all his activities permeated the atmosphere of the school plant he served. This person is Iohn Davenport, the foot- ball and track coach, and science and mathematics teacher of Duncan High School. It is to him we wish to express our appreciation for his awareness in develop- ing finer and more wholesome youth. IOHN DAVENPORT H .

Q-Q N 'gig gl X , ' kxgf N In choosing a theme for the 1949 Smokerings, we have merely rescanned the pages of our history books. This year marks the rooth anniversary of the notorious gold mining days of the 49er era. Since that time, four wars have entangled this country in a series of events that today are but a mere record in encyclopedias and reference volumes. Perhaps people have forgotten, which is not unusual with such a lapse of time, or else failed to realize the importance of such happenings. But looking again, we see that that era of history is not dead pastg but rather it can be likened to another search today with a prize more valuable and inspiring. That quest is for the attainment of values which make for good citizenship and a wholesome, happy life. With the more serious aspect in the search for knowledge is interspersed the everyday pleasure found in sports, classes, clubs, and social activities, which this yearbook has tried to portray.

We be- lieve that a spirit of fair play should be manifest in all our transactions with one another. We believe that Duncan High School offers us an opportunity to train for worthy Christian citizenship and a life of usefulness. We, therefore, pledge ourselves to be loyal to Duncan High School and to the ideals for which it stands. 1. Auditorium 2. Gymnasium 3. Duncan High School 4. Duncan Iunior High School 5.

WOOD Superintendent of Schools Many factors are prevalent in the development of a successful school year, one of the most import- ant being the superintendent, who must be a well- rounded, highly qualified, efficient individual. Mr. Wood isiust such a man. Within the walls of his office, he makes important decisions and uses his own good judgment in planning for the better- ment of our educational system. Mr. Stephens is next in importance. He has not only maneuvered efficiently the smooth roll- ing wheels of the high school but also has won the respect and admiration of the entire student body and faculty. Right hand aids are these members of the school board Vernon Butemeyer, Clint Roberts K. R. Russell, Bill Akins and S.

The Industrial Arts Department serves to satisfy the needs of those who are interested in doing work with their hands and who wish to become architects, cabinet makers, mechanics, draftsmen, or other such tradesmen. As this year's project the students of this department are building a house for the caretaker of the stadium. The planning, building, and interior decorating have been done by this department aided by the home economics and art departments. Agricultural students have become so interested in agriculture that they look forward to the time when they can apply what they have learned in the classroom to everyday farming experience.

The aim of the speech department is to instruct students in correct speech habits and prepare them for all phases of public speaking. After a year or two of vocal music, we were all convinced that Dunc'an's music chorus was second to one-Fred War- ing's Glee Club. In addition to the mixed chorus, a girls, trio, a girls' quar- tette, a boys' quartette, and the boys' and girls' chorus complement the music de- partment. The D. H. S. band, under the leader- ship of Mr. Burchardt, has risen to a point of notable acclaim among similar bands in this state.

Secretarial ,Science and 'Ufome Economics The business world today demands more from young men and women who have chosen that field than ever before. These classes lay the foundation for future accountants, secretaries and typists. Training for the careers of tomorrow in homemaking are the home economics classes under Mrs. Larson and Miss Davis. After completing these courses, the girls are better prepared for being efficient housewives and have a better under- standing of the value that a capable home maker is to society.

Gene truly depicts a good citi- zen since he possesses all the necessary qualifica- tions. Like Neta Io, Gene was judged by the fol- lowing points: constructive school and community service, abiding by the rules, cooperation, service, loyalty, respecting the rights of others, courtesy, and the ability to accept criticism. Gene has taken an active part in all school activi- ties and has been labeled dependable by teachers and students alike. We wish to congratulate Gene and hope that the future holds much for him. ' 84 Neta Io Steele was elected to receive the first sem- ester National Honor Society Citizenship Award that is offered each semester to any qualified senior high school student. This presentation began as a regular factor of D. H. S. life in the year 1948. The active member- ship of the National Honor Society select the highest two candidatesg and a committee composed of the principal, the National Honor Society sponsor, and three faculty members make the final choice. Neta Io has been selected to receive the honor be- cause she is a student that is outstanding as a good citizen. Although grades do not enter into this de- cision, Neta Io is a straight A student and well deserves the distinctive honor that is hers. Gene Iorgenson Servi e nd populari fy, Qutstanding Senior Girl Angelena Frensley was voted by the Iunior Class as the most outstanding senior girl. Her high scho lastic record and her versatility made her the logical selection. As editor-in-chief of the 1949 Smokcrirzgs she has proved her indefatigable initiative and ef fort. Her insatiate interest in speech activities, her democratic and spirited leadership, and her being just Angelena would point directly to a wise selec- tion for such an honor. Congratulations! Iohnny Iones An gelena F rensley Qurscanding Senior iBoy Iohnny Iohn was chosen by the Iunior Class as the most outstanding senior boy. Iohnny's uncanny in- terest and knowledge off science and mathematics, his outstanding ability as a potential student, plus his clever and charming personality, would easily win such a distinction as this. Iohnny is president of the student council, and in other organizations he has also proved himself a worthy leader. Congratulations! We are proud of the Iuniors' choice. 85 ' n o f a f..
