IHDARII of FII CATIO From left to right Joseph Bullock, John Peele, Ernest Sproul, Glenn Dibble, Gordon DePew, Cornelius Sackett, Charles Baker, Harry Hall. Most of us think that the Board of Education is a group of men, elected by our parents, that hold meetings to discuss various things at intervals. We have never really given much thought to what they do. They have established a Bub- stantial Health and Vocational Pro- gram for us. The Health Program in- cludes Physioal Education, Corrective Gym for Posture corrections, a Dental Hygenist and dental equipment, fully equipped Nurse's Office and a health course. Under the Vocational Program are several of the following courses for us to follow: Agriculture, Shop, Homemaking, Art, Science, Music and Business besides the required subjects for students such as English and History. To the Board, for the aid they have given us, we are ' greatly appreciative. ' ' Eleanor Jane Clark 6

IRUIPHIEIW Do you remember the fine June day in 1944 that we graduated from D.C.S.? That query by the former Betty Leech, now Mrs. Benny Cadwell, set my mind to thinking. Why not get in touch with my former class- mates? I had been planning a world trip for this year so here was another reason for going. New York City, in the spring, and who should I meet on Times Square, but Myra Yawger, now married, she explained that she and her hubby were in New York for a shopping trip. She told me that she had seen JoAnne Wilcox and Betty Meyers in New York during that week also, It seems that Jo went on with her desire to be a nurse and continued working in a hospital there. Betty Meyers is a secretary to a head man in Radio City. My plans were laid so that I would go to Washington, Argentina, Chile, up the Pacific to America, from there to Canada, and Russia, across Russia to Europe, France, England, across the Atlantic and home to Dundee. Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. and Kitty Turner made for a splendid afternoon. Kitty said that she was a secretary to the Senator from South Carolina considering her check, 1t's a good occupation. Can you imagine finding a classmate in Wash1ngton's Monument? I couldn't, but I did that is, I found George Bennett. It seems that she is happily married and, at PPGBBUV 18 on a eight-seeing tour. 'Member uStuu Bishop? I found him fishing on the banks of the Potomac. On the boat south, Evelyn Miller and Alpha Davie popped up. The three of us had several enjoyable afternoons together. We had an exciting trip to Rio de Janerio. With so many former classmates crossing my path I expected to meet someone else and sure enough, the three of us received invitations to dinner from Arlene Crane, and her diplomat husband. Arlene, by the way, is reported to be the best- dressed woman in South America. Across South America to Santiago, Chile and Fred Hinkleman was found preaching at a revival meeting- He's still trying to convince people. That was a trait of his in high school. The west coast of America certainly' profited from the D.C.S. class of '44. Jean and Margaret Boag, both married have settled in California and Oregon, respectively. Wilma Jean Denton, is still hair styling but she gets paid for it, in Hollywood. I journeyed inland to Montang to find Arlene Borden managing a horse ranch of her own. Her buddies call her 'Dusty'. Canada, and there was Elliot Baldwin trading in bear fur. I could hardly believe my eyes. Irene Miller boarded the plane I was on. She has gotten into the secret service, somehow, and was on a mission to Moscow. We went to Moscow together and then I ventured on to France and in Paris, Ruth Allen, 'forkyn in her school days, has been bringing to a close her study of the human brain. She in- formed me of the fact that Erma Gardner, was going to play an oboe solo accompanied by the London Phil- harmonic the next week. I rushed to London to hear her and Daisy Randall, urstwhile traveler in England, come into the theater and sat next to me. Knowing that my trip must soon end, I again went to the airport to board a plane for home. Bob Rapalee and Tom Disbrow, full-fledged trans- Atlantic pilots, piloted the plane homeward. It was good to get home and report to Mr. and Mrs. Elwin Kent Cresidence Castle Point, remember Helen Castle?l, Marilyn Inscho Geroge Klopf and Greeba Hays that all our high school friends were still much the same as ever.
