This was done to help make the chapel programs more inspiring and to commemorate our class. Finally, we attained our goal by becoming seniors and rulers of our little domain. During this year we got those awful graduation pic- tures taken and exchanged name cards with our fellow grads. Our football team went down to defeat at the hands of our arch rival, Mc- Keesport. This fact was quite over-shadowed when our basketball team beat the Tigers on the Vocational court as this feat had not been performed for seven years. Then too, in our senior year we found many more activities opened to us than had previously been the ease. Now our graduation day has come and as every other class has been we, too, are sorry to leave D.H.S. and head for other adventures.
