THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1965 “Today We Follow, Tomorrow We Lead” The graduating class of 1965 has not only quantity but quality and accomplishment. After twelve years of fun and toil, pleasure and hardship, our class stands on the thresh- hold of entering a new world, leaving the relative security of our high school days. We will enter this new environment not totally unprepared. In our years in high school we have gained invaluable experience which we can call on later in life. We took a big step along the road of ex¬ perience as we entered high school as “scrawny” freshmen. In this year we learn¬ ed what activities really are. The girls were inducted into the G. A. A. and Y-Teens. The G. A. A. initiation was something never to be forgotten, with the girls wearing dad’s boots and shirt and mom’s skirt upside down as well as her lipstick smeared all over. There were great opportunities for the boys to par¬ ticipate in sports of all kinds—football, bas¬ ketball, baseball, and intramural games. The boys showed their eagerness and ability by winning the Allen County Tournament in basketball. The boys also gained a chance to be so¬ cialites by escourting the girls to the Y- Teen Dance. Here, too, the word “work” en¬ tered our vocabulary as an everyday term. Latin and Algebra meant homework every night. As we entered the sophomore year the class had gained security and a heavier sched¬ ule. Biology reigned as the girls favorite sub¬ ject. The dissecting assignments would thrill the feminine section of the class to no end. Moreover; Mrs. Oetzel began the tremendous job of mellowing our voices. D-Club initia¬ tion came to several in the class during this year. The boys were a sorry sight, having in¬ describable attire and faces covered with lip¬ stick and cork. “Burning the midnight oil” was the favorite expression in our junior year. All the for¬ mulas in chemistry class added up to one thing—hard work. The Junior Class play was a great success inspite of the tragic events of November 22. The latter part of the year was spent in preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom. “It’s Almost Tomorrow” showed the imagination, ingenuity, and cooperation of our class. At last the year we had so long awaited arrived. The Class of ’65 was now the senior class and proud of it. The class set examples to all others concerning scholarship, leader¬ ship, sportsmanship, and service. The Senior Play, “The Green Bough” is considered among the best ever presented. It is now the Seniors turn to enjoy the prom as the hon¬ ored guests. Now it is time for the class of ’65 to leave the halls of dear D. H. S. As we fit ourselves into the caps and gowns, all our memorable experiences will pass before our eyes. We all will feel more than a little regret to be sep¬ arated from each other and from t he school. But the class of ’65 is determined to succeed in the outside world as it has at Jefferson High. 14
