PREFACE to the 2006 fiftieth-anniversary internet re-publication
by Alan Kimball (Editor)

It is humbling and inspiring to look back on this journalistic record of one full school year out on the great plains in the middle of the 1950s. What undisciplined exuberance! I am embarrassed as editor at one example of lax discipline = the way we mangled people's names, our own fellow students. And there are many other blemishes, some of them caused by difficult technical procedures involved in producing the front-and-back 2-, 3- or, once, 4-sheet publication, just about every Tuesday of the whole school year.

And we published that paper ourselves, often knocking for late Monday night admission to the Derby Grade School where the only mimeograph machine in the system was located. We worked hard. And, as a group, it is amazing that we all did those things recorded on these nearly 170 pages. Of course there was teacherly supervision. And teachers were given much attention, largely affectionate, only rarely critical. You will see on these pages, however, that we frequently ducked supervision even as it was gently imposed on us.

But look at what everyone was doing, at the collective biography of a certain cohort, a certain generation of young folks, freshmen to seniors. The index pulls together all the special "Senior of the Week" profiles. Carefully read between the lines with a certain objective eye, these profiles are little windows on the past. Here and elsewhere, there is more than at first meets the eye, though even at first glance the exuberance gushes forth and soothes the undiscipline.

The staff of the 1955-1956 Panther's Tale offers this website as a reunion gift to the following groups of fellow DHS students, on the scene in the year of this paper's publication =

the Class of 1956 (seniors),
the Class of 1957 (juniors)
the Class of 1958 (sophomores)
the Class of 1959 (freshmen)

The originals of this newspaper were too deteriorated to scan directly into electronic text. Therefore, the pages are here presented as jpeg images. Reading is best when the zoom function is employed.

Click, and there you will discover us again, sometimes completely forgotten, often surprising, but at the same time always familiar and, on the whole, likeable.

Special thanks to Ms. Madeline Moyer who helped photocopy the crumbling yellow and faded originals.
