Seniors Cherish Dreams Of School Milestones Memories, memories. . .school days, school days, dear 'ole golden-- hmmmmmm. . .Hey! When we were a couple of kids? Yes, September, 1966; four long years ago. Fifty-four freshmen entered the halls of Duncan High School for the first time as official students, as high- schoolers . Some classmates left the ranks of the class of '68, others came to join but 42 starting DHS'ers, and seven welcome additions remained to graduate, become alumni of DHS. And inbe- tween. . .? . . .All worked hard at becoming sophomores, at moving one more rung up the ladder of education, knowledge, life. Hours and hours were spent planning, decorating for that extra special dance. The Junior-Senior Prom, In the Misty Moonlight, was over, but not forgotten. Class rings, becoming upperclassmen, running concessions became memories. Finally, senioryear, and the 42-plus - seven moved forward, ever forward, as milestones of school life loomed ahead, became present, were left behind . . . Mr. Leonard Hill, Mrs. Joan Brads- by. . .class sponsors, and the best of sports. . .Mrs. Ginger Hill, honorary member of the Class of '68—she helped so much, received so little. . . The ordering of announcements, the lastformal, the Blue Christmas ball... caps and gowns, final examinations, grades, Ditch Day (the big week-end), Baccalaureate exercises, and, at last. . . Graduation. . . . . . The prize for the bon-fire; Mary Jane's help with concession stands; Army, Navy, college recruiters; Amer- ican College Test, National Merit Schol- arship Foundation Tests; Prom and Ball Queens Patty Patterson and Janice John- son—Kings Gary Lunt and James Morris; matrimony for Audrey, Sherril, Mary Ann, Reba, Felipa; sports, pep rallies, but yes, at last, Graduation. . . Now there's nothing left but an educa- tion . . . and memories. REBA BAILEY BILLIE BOYD VIRGINIA CAMBERN STEVE CAMPBELL
