“This Was The Year That Was - 1969-1970' This was the year that was — 1969-1970, the beginning of a new decade. This was the year when great things happened in space. On July 20, 1 969, Neil E. Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin set foot on the moon. Americans, by the use of satellites witnessed One small step for man — one giant leap for mankind. Big things also happened on Earth. President Nixon signed the draft lottery bill, a bill that means so much to the future of our graduates. Biafrans lost their struggle for freedom. Paris peace talks continued in trying to solve the Viet Nam conflict. And at D.C.H.S. curriculum improvements were accomplished. Consumer education, personal typing, and Spanish, a second foreign language, were introduced on the high school level. An art program was set up and a speech correc-tionist was hired to work two days per week in the Junior-Senior High School. Industrial Arts and homemaking were offered to all Junior High students. Aerospace and vocational metals were recognized by the State Department of Vocational Education as approved courses for high school curriculum. That was the year that was. It was an outstanding year for some students, a profitable year for many, and we hope — an unforgettable year for all. 3
