September 9-10, 2005 · · DHS Homecoming Weekend

Saturday, September 10, 2005 - Page 14 - Banquet at the Dalton Country Club:  It has begun already, the photos of grandchildren have come out!

After the meal was over, Carl Smith presented a photo slide-show of some his best scenic nature shots showing the seasons of the year intermixed with photos of our lost classmates.  It was a somber occasion to remind us that some of our numbers were lost during the Viet Nam war, and others in more recent years.  The 10-minute presentation was a time of inner reflection about who we are and the natural beauty of our mother Earth.

After a short break, Ronnie Barber picked up the wireless microphone and helped us remember some happier times as he started to tell humorous stories from our collective experience in high school and the intervening years.

It wasn't long before he was moving among the crowd and reminding us of individual stories with the "victims" of those events.

The crowd reaction to Ronnie's monologue is evident by the facial expressions.

Bennie started the dance music and Betty and Douglas were quick to take to the dance floor.

Andrea Higgins and her husband Ed Perry were quick to follow...

Ronnie paired up with Dianne on the dance floor and enjoyed the antics of Andrea and her husband Ed.
