TRANSMITTI G PA T EXPERIENC S THROUGH HISTORY .f 5 , TT f f T,,, 1 History is the diary of our civiliza- tion. Through history, students learn the background of their present lives. Going back to Greece, they learn where the very idea of democ- racy had its beginning. Reading about the Revolutionary War, how a small country was fighting for its existence, paves the way to under- stand better the Vietnam conflict. Studying the amendments to the Constitution, women's right to vote, brings the Women's Liberation Movement to mind. Yes, history truly is a diary of our past and present lives. The students at D.C.H.S. hope their graduation will help to make many advanta- geous resolutions: eighteen year olds get the vote, an end to campus riots, an end to the war in Vietnam, a cure for cancer, and the stopping of damaging pollution. Through their efforts and knowledge, our stu- dents work to be contributors to a better world for all mankind.

YOUTH SEARCHES FOR EXPRESSIQN THROUGH MUSIC Music takes many turns at D.C.H.S. The range is vast, going from Bach to the Fifth Dimension. Each student is acquainted with the entire scope of music. ln our two departments, choral and instrumental music, much em- phasis is put upon the appreciation of music. One learns to pick out the best arrangements, whether it is classical or hard rock. Miss Stockglausner and Mr. Young are both very liberal in selec- tion of pieces making sure each stu- dent becomes aware of every as- pect of musical composition.
