Its athletic teams have won fame throughout the State and Ynion. Locally and outside the city, the fine group of boys who participated have honestly earned a name for themselves as being fair and square sportsmen who played the game for the game's sake and for the sake of their Alma Mater. Not only the athletic teams of D. H. S. have brought fame, but the debating and declaiming teams have done equally as well. The Senior play was a decided success, as was the presentation by the Coroso Players. The school paper, The Hi-Rocket, has been unusually popular this year. The staff has striven faithfully to publish all the best news and stories pertaining to school life. The business side has been financially sound. And so, in other words, an era of co-operation has involved our school, as its success points out. Of course there have been times when that magic word was lacking, but, in general, this is not the case. And should not the different organizations co-operate, since that is the way modern life is tending? If, in the following years, the school continues to let this be its policy, no doubt we shall all see some tremendous changes in the school spirit and life. But you, gentle readers, will ask what all this spasmodic steam has to do with THE NIESSENGER. Our theme this year is progress, and progress means co-operation. This publication has always striven to promote the better things for the school, and we think that by this introduction, we may help to forward a sacred custom which will be for the betterment of the institution. VVe owe a deep debt of gratitude to the class in commercial design, who made all the linoleum blocks, colored the inserts, and made the panels for mounting the pictures. And lastly, our thanks go to the advisers and other faculty members who have aided us in any way in publishing this annual. The most of this work was done by the following: Thomas Jones, Ray- mond Mitchell, Elizabeth Lasater, Betty Reams, Stuart Chandler, Vella Jane Burch, VVilliam VVeaver, Harry Hunter, James Phelps, June Stallings, and Albert O'Briant.. The inserts were printed in the High School print shop by Floyd Burchett, John Wleatherspoon, and Magruda Byrd, students in the printing class. 'S in
