Dedication It was the first brisk warm day of spring, and all the Demons were gathered in front of DHS awaiting the bell to call them to their fourth hour classes. Suddenly, to the main entrance of the building, approached ci shiny Oldsmobile. A stately lady stepped from the running board of this pumpkin-turned carriage. A clamor arose around the school. Has Cind- erella discovered a new beau? The story goes that this same lady, at her debut ball, met a knightly warrior who fell in love with her. The clock struck twelve, and the lady rushed from his arms. For months to come, he searched in vain for his lady love. Not finding her, he ioined Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War. While ascending San Juan Hill, the man met his death. This story, to date, has never been denied. In the years to follow, this lady devoted her time to the reading of the classics and contemporary authors. lt was in her later years that she received the call to pass on the treasures of these great works. To the evercoming generation of youth, she dedicated her life. Never was there a more devoted disciple of the task. Through the term papers and Shake- speare's comedies and tragedies, the deep appreciation for this lady is ever present. For nineteen years, she gave of her time, energy, knowledge, and abilities to DHS students. Yes, her years of teaching have been re- warding. To Miss Martha Veal, we dedicate the 1960 edition of Smoke- rings, with gratitude and thanks.

Foreword To every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way, And the high soul climbs the high way, And the low soul grapes the low: And in between on the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A high way and a low, And every man decideth The way his soul shall go. Dreams are the essence of life. What would life be without dreams? Webster says, A dream is an imaginary vision or reverie, usually strange or impractical. But all dreams are not impractical. Dreams are the am- bition, loves, and hopes of the young and old. When a person commences life, he sees bright dreams of wealth, love, security, and dignity. These dreams sustain him in times of hardships and give him hope in hours of despair. When he approaches the end of his life's journey, his dreams are the last thing he leaves behind. A person's dreams determine his life. As a man thinketh, so is he. The 1960 Smokerings points to the future and records fulfillments of the past.
