SENIOR HISTORY ' CONTINUED I should mention the gang which began in our freshman year and con- tinued right up until we were graduated. There were June Harmon, Mary Willey, Lorraine Vollmer, Lois Aumend, Arlene Mann, Helen Sieren, Margaret Johnson and Kathryn Drum. Mr. Kibele wondered if Bill Drewyore's name was in Who's Who of 1950 for the poetry he wrote, and also if William Dewey's name was men- tioned in the history books because of his likeness to another historical man about whom Mr. Kibele had tried so desperately to teach us something. Toward the last of our senior year a new student, Joe Simek from Stryker, came into our class. We didn,t have much of a chance to get well acquainted with him but we hoped he enjoyed going to D. H. S. And last of all we thought of Robert Whitaker, the assistant editor of our annual, and it was unanimous that he was small but mighty. We all decided, however, even though we did have our bad points, we were a rather good class, and after all, they did build the new building just so the Class of 1940 could graduate from it. We gave a very nice banquet to the Seniors when we were Juniors, and we were paid in full the following year by the lovely banquet which the Class of 1941 gave us. I know our Senior class play was inferior only to Gone With the Wind. I do sincerely hope everyone is following our motto, Striving to see, to act, and to do our best at all times. L. A. A.

We'1l begin right away and this much confess: We don't want any Juniors mixed up in this mess: A Sophomore introduced would surely be a crime: The very young Freshies would certainly spoil the rhyme: Only the Seniors will dare be admitted: And no other classmen will 'ere be permitted: The year is 1950. I went to call on Mr. Heischman the other day fremember him? He was our sponsor in 1940i and can you imagine, he was grey! Although it was a rather delicate question, I inquired about this little matter of his hair, and he said he thought it was caused mainly by the Class of 1940. fAnd I didn't consider that any complimentj. He then started telling some of the various reasons why this came about, and was my face red! It seems the whole thing started in algebra class. He said the very first day Robert Prentiss carved his and Hazel McArthur's initials on a desk, thereby staking his first claim in D. H. S. And every day it was the same old story! Burley Clay and Junior Williams mistook themselves for pigeons and con- tinuously perched on the window-sills. He also declared that he thought Robert Falor, Milton Langel, Chalmers Spiess and Paul Spengler should be awarded medals for their good marksmanship in throwing erasers. Then there was also science class, and every day Earl Irish, Max McArthur and Floyd Young had a race to see who could run the best scale on the revolving seats. Well, then we all became Sophomores fmuch to our surprise, not to mention many othersl. That year Mr. Heischman taught plane geometry. Even though Tom Bowerman, Earl Harris and Robert Churchill were always going off on a tangent, or getting the wrong angle, they did manage to get through. Just then Mr. Kibele came in. fYou remember Kib, don't you?l Instead of being grey, he was bald. He was feeling fine, thank you. We told him what the topic of conversation was and he had some interesting bits to add. He said although we were a rather noisy class, Ruth Essex, Lucille Vondran, Loraine Miller, Margaret Krauss, Helen Schiavone and Floyd Meridew were always rather quiet. We also discussed Frank Fraker, Burley Clay, Robert Morr, Bob Geiger and Bill Bauman who were our star members of the gridiron, not to mention Raymond Dick's and Junior Williams' ability on the basketball Hoor. Mr. Kibele said he remembered Beatrice Raker's cheerleading when she was a Senior, and he thought she was one of the best cheerleaders we ever had. And by the way, wherever there was Beatrice, there was Bernice Albin. Two other girls who were good friends were Margaret Danser and Edith Mae Horn. Mr. Heischman commented on the scholastic ability of Genevieve Bernath. He actually thought she was a genius. In our senior year there were several romances, such as Gerald Hines and Beatrice Double, and Chalmers Spiess and Mary Willey. Then ' SENIOR HISTORY

I 5 I ' I A Senior s Departing Word We, the Seniors of the Class of 1940, have had the honor of being the first students to be graduated from the new school building. We have greatly appreciated the comfort and the convenience which we have gained through the building of this school. For you, undergraduates, we wish the same friendships and respect for the administration and the faculty in future years as we have had. Those who will be graduated from Delta High School in later years will have the same satisfaction and enjoyment of attending Delta School as we have had. Our characters and ideals have been fashioned within these walls and we will always take great pride in this, and ever remain loyalto ourschool -SENIORS
