* Barbara Wittenberg's 1959-60 GO card. Note that it was signed by class of 1960 president Ira Selsky. You must be a pack rat to save a GO card from more than 50 years ago. Thank you, Barbara.

* The cover of a DAHS football game program, circa 1967. Courtesy of Toni Crescenzo Gelfer, class of 1968, the ultimate pack rat. You should see the stuff neatly stored in her garage in San Antonio, Texas.

* Jim Anton's freshman letters. He graduated in 1961.
