We weren't allowed to have recesses so we gave Mr. Townsend the pleasure of standing guard at the foot of the stairs with a paddle in hand to keep us from tearing down the stairs and the rest of the building between classes. During this year we journeyed over the hill several times on a picnic. After our Freshman year was over we took great delight in trying to overrule the Freshmen of the next year who we thought were altogether too small for us to associate with. Mr. Brickey, our home room and history teacher found a new way to wake the class by drawing a picture of a polar bear in a snowstorm. There wasn't a member of the cls.ss who could give the year that the war of L812 occured in. This ..as the first class ever to take history that slumbered instead of made noise and studying. Gerald Axton especially remembers thi: year because he tried out the newly fixed race track in hi., old Buick and the results were felt by him a fa., hours later when Mr. Townsend, Gerald, and the hose went for a round in the office. when this class became juniors they took a fancy or -unpin' to Mr. Freestone for he was our hone room teacher again. We put off what wu thought a quite successful prom and b .nquet. Kath- erine Curry became the lawfully wedded wife of Bill Dean and left u:. Airplane Tr vitt, while entertaining the dram-tics class in Mr. Free.tor:.... absence, took a tail spin that the .audience shall never forget. Sow we are high and mighty seniors but, in a way, not too glad that as. are leaving good old D.U.H.S. Juno and Billie followed in the pathway of La V-rde when they got hitched so all we can do is wi-h them the best of every- thing. Viol.. '.Iso chose the married life.
