All led up to the juniors big show — the banquet. The seniors gave all they had to make their last year the most memorable. The Senior play couldn't have been a success without the whole school’s help. The year was filled with graduation preparations, getting fitted for caps and gowns and ordering an- nouncements. Looking forward to graduation in one way and not look- ing forward to it in another, plus an- ticipating the Banquet and prom knowing that it would be their last, presented many frustrating moments for the seniors. DeWitt is a simple town and “et cetera” is a simple word that says a lot. Etc. is a good word to use when describing a DHS student. We may graduate, but we never forget what our school has meant to us. The Dragon spirit will go on and on in our life. We may graduate and take dif- ferent walks in life but our high school years will still be in our minds. We will want to come back from time to time to reminisce with our old high school class.

Before the 1976 Dragon football season, the team’s future was as unpredictable as Arkansas weather. At the end of the season the record was 4 wins, 5 losses, and 1 tie. To begin the season, the Dragons traveled to Eudora to play on a wet field. The Dragons tied 6-6 for the only tie of the season. The Dragons took on the Dumas Bobcats on the home field and came away the victors by a margin of 8-6 in a hard fought game. Hughes Blue Devils invaded the Dragon field the next week, and were sent home in humiliation, 31-0. DeWitt traveled to Marvell the following week and preserved their undefeated season with a hard earned 3-0 victory. The only score was a field goal late in the first half. Star City brought an unblemished record to DeWitt for a battle of the unbeatens. Star City proved to be too much for the Dragons, and prevailed 18-8. The next three games for DeWitt were heartbreaking. The Dragons lost to Pine Bluff Dollarway, Brinkley and arch-rival Stuttgart, virtually eliminating any conference title hopes they might have had. Almost unbearable weather con- ditions hampered both teams in the Wynne-DeWitt game. Bitter cold plus almost 3 inches of rain numbed the Dragon team but they endured for a 24-0 shut-out. This characterized their desire to win under adverse conditions. The season ended on a sad note, as the Marion Patriots, playing one of their finest games of the season, defeated DeWitt.

The Dragons played Portland in the St. Charles tournament but was overpowered by Portland 54-46. Later on in the season the Dragons overpowered Marion 47-37. Then beating Hughes 59-55. The Senior Dragons went to the 4 AA Regional Tournament to play Marvell. Although playing a good game the Dragons were just not able to overpower Marvell. The score was 46-89.

On February 16 the Senior Dragonettes traveled to Wilson to play in the State Tournament. Winning the first game against Van Buren, while Junior forward Trena Roberts set a new state individual scoring record with 44 points, the Dragonettes played a good game against Lonoke in the second round but were overpowered. They came home with the Sportmanship trophy and forwards Teresa Johnson and Trena Roberts made All-State. The District Tournament was held in Stuttgart, February 7-12. The sec- ond night, the Dragonettes over- powered Marianna with a 60-31 vic- tory and moved to the finals on Saturday night. The Dragonettes once again defeated the Stuttgart Ricebirdettes for the District crown. December 6-11, DeWitt played in the St. Charles Invitational Tour- nament. The Dragonettes once again came out on top. They played three different nights playing good defense and offense in all three games. Several players made All-District. Teresa Johnson, Trena Roberts, and Nancy Sebree made All-District forwards. Trena Roberts made outstanding forward in the district. The All-District guards were Eunice O'Donell, Cheryl Burse, and Jane Bosma. Eunice O'Donell made out- standing guard. Even if the season did end with a loss at the State Tournament, the Senior Dragonettes had their best season in years with the record of 18-1. Senior Dragonettes are: (front row) Nancy Sebree.

This year the Senior Girl's started a track program. There were twenty-eight girls who partici- pated. They attended four meets in Stuttgart. Senior girl's coach was Mr. Joe Carden. There were eighty boy’s who tried out for Junior track and fifty- three for Senior track. They par- ticipated in meets at Stuttgart, Brinkley, Carlisle, and in DeWitt. Junior coach was Mr. Ken Newsom and Senior coach was Mr. Bobby Ashcraft.

Dixie was a football cheerleader, a member of Beta Club, a Homecoming Maid, class favorite and the vice- president of the Senior class. Vance Black and Dixie Goodwin captured the title of Mr. and Miss DHS by getting the most votes in the Outstand- ing Seniors contest. They have been involved in many school activities requiring ability and leadership. JQ4MN R4NES Have you ever known someone who could go through twelve years of school and never be without their homework! Wow! Such is the case with Jo Ann Raines. Jo Ann’s Senior activities include Beta Club, Choir and a member of the “Calamity Jane play cast. She currently plans to attend Arkansas State University in the fall. ______________________________________ If you don’t know what it’s like to march around in a skimpy majorette uniform when it is cold enough to freeze a baton in mid-air ask Ann Dillion. In addition to marching at half-time as a DHS majorette, Ann also served in the Beta Club, Drama Club, corresponding secretary of Student Council, Band, and she accom- panied choir and varsity. Ann’s musical skills do not end there. She also enjoys playing the piano and the trumpet and plans to enter the University of Central Arkansas this fall. outstanding seniors V4NCE BLACK Serving as president of the DHS Student Council, Vance Black kept busy throughout the year planning projects, attending workshops, and organizing activities. Vance also found time to participate in football, Beta Club, and was chosen an honor graduate. He plans to attend Arkansas State University and major in pre-pharmacy. Outstanding Seniors took the place of Who’s Who this year, as the annual staff combined all of these categories into one and applied them to each senior, coming up with 11 best-all-around personalities. The qualifications for Outstanding Seniors in- cluded: school activities, scholastic achievement, leadership, dependability, school spirit, and personality. ANN DILION Quarterbacking a football team requires special abilities and Shon Woodiel possessed these as he led the senior Dragons through their best season in years. His studies also concerned him, because he was one of the honor graduates in May. He found time to act in the senior play and be a member of the Beta Club and FCA. In the fall, he will attend the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and major in Business Administration. SHON W©DIEL Km DOIL IR When you're captain of the cheerleaders, you learn to accept afternoon practices, late Friday nights, and paint your socks. As Kim Dollar found out, the job was well worth it. Besides all the planning she did —plus the work — Kim wrote feature stories for the Hi-Times and was an invaluable staff member of the Dragon. She was chosen Maid-of-Honor in the Homecoming royalty, participated in the Senior play, and was selected FFA Sweetheart. If you have never known what it is like to look up to your locker — ask Dixie Goodwin. Though relatively short, Dixie makes up for her size by her personality and attitude as shown by her selection as Miss DHS. Dixie also served as a dedicated member of Drama Club, Beta Club, and the DHS cheerleading squad. She was also elected to Student Council and was selected as a class favorite. Dixie's hobbies include volleyball, tennis and swimming. DIXIE GGDDWIN S©TT ESTES It's not just anybody who can make finalist in the National Merit program — but DHS can boast of one now! Scott Estes, who plans to attend the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and major in pre-med, will receive a scholarship because of this honor. He landed a leading role in the senior play “Calamity Jane, played strong safety on the football team, and graduated with honors. 22 outstanding seniors G1YE NORDBERS Planning layouts, cropping pictures, and writing copy takes more time than one's schedule allows at times. Just ask Dragon co-editor Gaye Nordberg. Many of her hours were spent working on the yearbook, but she also participated in Drama Club and Student Council. Besides winning the honor of being the 1977 Homecoming Queen, Gaye also acted in the senior play, Calamity Jane. ---------------- MIKE NEST What is nice, skinny, lovable, and red-headed? A Mike West! In addition to his long list of qualities, Mike has served as president of Beta Club, Student Council, and Drama Club. Mike also was a member of the Calamity Jane play cast and enjoys such hobbies as hunting, fishing and basketball. Mike is currently plan- ning to enter Arkansas State University this fall as a Biology major. CENISE LINDSEY Denise Lindsey learned to love after hour work this year since she served as co-editor of the Hi- Times. Lots of her afternoons and nights were taken up editing copy, planning layouts, and cropping pictures. Denise served as recording secretary of the Student Council, Senior maid in Homecoming, and a member of the Drama Club. Elementary education will be her major at the University of Central Arkansas next fall. DN IGHT LODE In this day and time you have to earn everything you get. Such is the case with Dwight Love. Dwight was selected as a National Achievement Scholarship for Outstanding Negro Student and later as a finalist. Dwight also served as a member of Beta Club, Drama Club, Student Council and the Band. He plans to further his education this fall at Arkansas State University as a business major. 24 homecoming ir he student body sat in suspense on October 1,1976, as the Homecoming Royalty was presented, with Master and Mistress of Ceremonies, Scott Hor- ton, and Tami Neukam. Easing the tension and providing excellent en- tertainment were Tami Neukam, who sang “Theme from Mahogany, and The Country Five, playing Proud Mary . The tension rose once again with the announcement of Kim Dollar as the maid-of-honor. Climaxing the ceremonies was the crowning of the 1976 Homecoming Oueen, Gaye Nordberg. Reigning in the Queen’s Court were senior maids Danna Adams, Joyce David Hudspeth Cunningham, Beth De Vore, Dixie Goodwin, Denise Lindsey, Cheryl Morton, Gigi Vansandt, and Babbie Young. When asked how it felt being crowned Queen, Gaye replied, I felt like they had said the wrong name, and after I realized it was me, I was so happy. I just could not believe the honor I had received!” “I could not believe that I had been chosen over the other girls. It was the greatest honor I have ever received in high school,” said Kim Dollar after being chosen Maid-of-Honor. All the girls admitted they had been quite nervous when walking down the aisle and on the stage. The guys, certainly not used to spot lights, never complained, eventhough it was very hot and their ties were choking them! Babbie Young said, I had chills running up and down my spine when Tami sang, “Theme from Mahogany. Tami, was accompanied by Ann Dillion, who also provided back- ground music. Denise Lindsey said, Thisyear was the saddest and most exciting of the three years I have been a maid.” “I was scared, and I tripped on my dress and tore it when I walked up the steps, Beth De Vore said. Dixie Goodwin and Cheryl Morton found it hard to sit still while The Country Five sang “Proud Mary. The Master and Mistress of Ceremonies were just as tense and nervous as the maids. Tami said, It really made my heart skip a beat when I had the card on Gigi Vansandt and looked back to find Danna Adams coming down the aisle, and when I realized that some of the information had been left off of Joyce Cun- ningham's card. Mr. Jack Jordan, superintendent presented Queen Gaye with her crown. Crown bearer was John David Hudspeth, and Deena Turner was football bearer. Presenting a bouquet of roses to Kim was Mr. Leon Miles, DHS prin- cipal. Frontrow:JoyceCunningham,GiGiVansandt,DannaAdams,Cheryl Denise Lindsey and Beth DeVore.

The Student Council has been the sponsor for White Christmas for many years. This worthwhile proj- ect has brought a small amount of Christmas spirit to the less fortunate of our community. In addition to this, the Council sponsored two films for the enjoyment of the student body. Stuttgart week was also coordi- nated by the Student Council with the main event being the exchange assembly where DHS students take a program to Stuttgart and SHS stu- dents put on a program for DHS. The Student Council is also the sponsor for Homecoming Activities and the popular Powderpuff Football Game. It also operates a concession stand on a part-time basis. The Council also purchases many items needed by DHS. The new trash cans and a new public address system for the gym are two examples. The Student Council strives to be a service organization and not a governing body. The Council has no administrative authority, but acts as the voice of the student body in affairs of the school.

Just go with what ya got!” If you ever walk past the Journalism room seventh period you are very likely to hear one of the above ex- pressions. But, don't be alarmed, it's only Denise Lindsey and Danna Adams, Co-Editors of the Hi-Times, trying to get the paper ready for publication. There was much to be done to prepare for a paper. First, stories had to be assigned, copy edited and taken to the publisher, layouts drawn and finally, delivery. We tried new styles for the paper, out with old-fashioned ways; in with modern techniques. Special con- tributions were made to the paper. Kim Dollar and her feature stories, Lynn Schorstein and her zany car- toons, Babbie Young and her regular column “Sausage, Cheese, and Anchovies,” GiGi Vansandt and her puzzles, Fronia Bradford and her sports stories, and Joyce Cunning- ham as Head Gopher.

It was hard work, which often ended in late hours after school. Dragon advisor, Ms. Susan Hil- debrand, was always there to answer our questions. She gave us new ideas in modernizing the Dragon. We ex- perimented with different styles of layouts and rub-off type, making our pages more interesting. We also added an index. Even though it was tough work and we all seemed to drop our studies and even a few friends, we managed to hang together in producing the Dragon. The annual staff became a family, and when the tension had us on edge, we pulled through it. The staff was very happy when the Dragon was finished, but we’re going to miss journalism class, Ms. Susan Hil- debrand, grease pencils, rummaging through the closet, layouts, etc. ...

In the cafeteria there were computers and space ships. The ceiling was decorated with stars and twinkling lights. The program consisted of a look at the future from George and Martha Washington who were portrayed by Tami Neukam and C. W. Simpson. General Custer was played by David Bullock, and Darryl Ellenburg was the Indian. Angie Ruffin did an imitation of Mrs. Lepine. Shon Woodiel came out on stage with a pipe in his mouth, and if that wasn’t enough he propped his leg up in a chair. Then everyone knew it was Mr. Miles. Beth DeVore imitated Susan Anderson. Rusty Hestir sang and in the middle of it he stuttered and sang “I forgot the words,” which Senior Lee Hearn had done when singing to the school at one time during the year. Dixie Goodwin and Tim Burley imitated Miss Gasaway and Mr. Gravette.

Some folks can travel near or far but just the thought of going some place excites them. They travel all summer long until school starts, then they settle down and have fun telling everyone about their exciting trips. Out of all the stories that had been told this year, I believe the most exciting trip I have heard about was told by Tami Neukam. Tami went to Europe with the ' America's Youth in Concert, sponsored by the Universal Academy for Music in Princeton, New Jersey. She was gone to Europe, June Tami Neukam drinks from fountain in Geneva, Switzerland. 27 through July 29. Tami was selected for America’s Youth in Concert,” from a nationwide audition. There were approximately 600 boys and girls divided into two groups. Before departing on the European tour, the group performed at the Philadelphia Bicentennial Celebration on the Fourth of July and at Carnegie Hall in New York City. In Europe the students performed in London, Paris, Florence, Rome, Venice, Geneva, and Innsbruck. Tami thought Innsbruck was the most beautiful place of all and London was the friendliest. On tour she visited the Roman Coliseum, Doge's Palace, Michelangelo's Tomb, St. John's Bascilliga, the Olympic Ski Jump, Notre Dame Cathedral, Eiffel Tower, Mona Lisa, Big Ben, London Bridge, and many other exciting places. Tami loved the beauty of all the places she visited. I liked meeting so many people and making new friends. You really learn to appreciate the things you take for granted,” she commented. Probably the only thing Tami disliked about her trip was when she lost her luggage at Kennedy Airport on the way home, and getting it two day later. Hyde Park in London, England. 79 seniors Juniors The 1976-77 Junior Class was made up of many spirit-filled and friendly teenagers. They worked hard all year selling candy to raise money for the Junior-Senior banquet plus planning and performing the Junior Play. One year away from being Seniors meant getting those long awaited Senior rings and it also meant taking ?he required American History and Junior English. Juniors were active in Student Council. They had 8 representatives from their class. They were: Lisa Simmons, Danita Boyd, Cindy Stricklin, Jackie Sheppard, Jimelle Rodgers, Melodie Jordan, Angie Glover and Becky Eldridge. Junior class officers were: Danita Boyd, President; Chris Earhart, vice- president; Lisa Jo Lindsey, treasurer; and Linda Hardister, reporter. Selected by their classmates as class favorites were: Darryl Hen- derson, Teresa Johnson, Terry McCullars, Ginger Anderson, Eunice O’Donnell, Marcus George, Eddie Nordberg and Lisa Simmons. There's nothing like letting off a little steam - and the juniors show just how to do it as they yell and clap for the Dragons.

I’m almost a Senior! That is what most Juniors are thinking when they order their senior ring, the most cherished possession of any high school graduate. When the long awaited time comes to order a ring, the decision is very difficult to make. There are various types, colors, and styles to choose from. Most of us think we know exactly which ring we want, until the time comes to order them. Then, comes the hustle and bustle of looking for as many of the Senior's rings as possible. This might make the decision a little easier. Not only do Senior rings look great, but they bring Juniors closer to the moment when they become official seniors. Various DHS students re- marked on why they want a senior ring. Marcus George wants one because he is proud to be a part of DHS. A ring is something to have a long time — a keepsake to remember high school days,” said Junior Lisa Simmons. Others think of the future as they order their ring, because when you be- come a senior, there are many deci- sions to be made. Any student’s senior year will be a time of special searching and appraisal, as options following graduation are considered.

Whatever your pet peeve might be and someone does it, you'll probably be sure and let them know about it loud and clear! Pet peeves are quite often found in conversations of students and really, just about everyone of them have one. Just about all teachers have at least one if not more. Many juniors have told a few of their pet peeves. The most common pet peeve seems to be running fingernails across a chalkboard and that weird racket it makes. Some boys said their pet peeve was talkative girls. Other pet peeves were: (1) Someone who fakes school spirit. (2) People who crack their knuckles. (3) People who bite their fingernails. (4) Someone who complains about his grades, but ends up making As. (5) The variety of food in the school cafeteria. (6) When all of the teachers decide to give homeworkon thesame night.

The sophomore class won the spirit stick more than any other class. Now that the sophomores have been in high school for two years, they have become quite used to the changes. Instead of running straight to classes, they feel at ease to stop in the halls to talk or flirt with a friend. This year Debbie Fields, Carroll Les- ter, Stacia Hester, Jeff Gunnell, LeAnn Pittman, Scott Bradshaw, LeeAnn Gunnell, and Drew Counce were chosen favorites. The sophomore class was repre- sented in Student Council by Jeff Gunnell, LeAnn Pittman, Stacia Hester, Becky Thompson, and LeeAnn Gunnell. The sophomore class was led by LeAnn Pittman, president; assisted by Debbie Fields, vice president; Stacia Hester, secretary; and Patti Freeman, treasurer. Sophomore favorites were: Scott Bradshaw, Debbie Fields, Drew Counce, LeeAnn Gunnell, Carroll Lester. Stacia Hester, Jeff Gunnell, and LeAnn Pittman. t; Debbie a Hester.

During her stay here, Sandra stayed with Alesha Hollanger. Sandra has a brother, Vincete Perez, 13, and a sister, Martha Christina Perez, age 10. Her father owns motor parts stores and her mother is a re- tired teacher. School life in Brazil is very different from what we know. The school Sandra attends is Esquema Vestib- rilaies LTDA. Her classes begin at 7:30 and end at 12:30. On Mondays and Fridays she has a Physical Education class from 4:30 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. From 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Thursdays, she studies laboratory Biology. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays she has English from 7:45 p.m. until 8:50 p.m. The students have specially made uniforms. They consist of dark red pants and a white blouse with a red school symbol on the front. Many things confuse her here. When the bell rings to change class- es, she doesn't like the rushing of hundreds of students hurrying to get to their next class. It makes much more sense to her for the teachers to change classes instead of the stu- dents doing so. This is how the system works in Brazil. It's something to think about! School life may be very different, but extra activities are common among all of us. Sandra enjoys many sports like basketball, football, soc- cer, and tennis. She doesn’t take part in many sports; she just loves to watch. Sandra likes to spend her spare time with her friends, going to movies, lunching out, attending motorcycle races, going to concerts, parties, and you guessed it — riding around! Spare Time Sophomores need entertainment just as their other classmates! They find hobbies, books, magazines, tell- ing jokes, and gossiping keep them busy in their spare time. Homework occupies many soph- omores free time at nights, although a few of them choose to ride around the square with friends. On the weekends, movies catch the eyes of many sophomores. After the movie, a nice cold coke from the Burger Master is just the thing to quench their thirst, before going home. Springtime, with its warm weather and bright shining sun, compels sophomores to hit those sandbars with their suntan lotion. Sophomores are just like everyone else — they love to have fun.

Don't you wish you could just sleep until 11 o'clock and relax all day? Well, that is exactly what DHS students did Monday, January 3, and the following Monday, January 10. DeWitt schools were closed for sleet and snow. Approximately one inch ofsnow fell on the previous weekends bringing lots of fun and excitement to DHS on the following Tuesday’s. Snowballs were flying in all directions, people were rolling each other, and more screaming and excitement than one could imagine took place. DHSer’s will never get too old for vacations from school but it's a lot more fun when it's for snow. Sarah Essex J. C.

The two teams consisted of any DeWitt High School girl who wished to play. Seniors and freshmen played on one team and juniors and sophomores opposed them. Dressed in blue jerseys the senior- freshmen team was coached by Ken Newsom. Thejunior-sophomore team wore white jerseys and they were coached by Jim Ford. At the end of the game the score was seniors-freshmen 0, and the juniors-sophomores 6. The cheerleaders for the senior- freshmen team were Shon Woodiel, David Bullock, Wynn Strain and Homer HeWitt. Thejunior-sophomore cheerleaders were Marcus George, Eddie Nordberg, and Scott Bradshaw. The chain gang, an important part of the game was led by teachers Susan Hildebrand and Diane Johnson. Joyce Cunningham and Danna Adams were their assistants. Referees were Scott Estes, Vance Black and Gary Coley. Mike West was the ballgame announcer and Scott Horton ran the clock.

Love to curl up in front of the tube to watch something that was filmed about thirty years ago? Do you recognize any of these names — Clark Gable, Lana Turner, Jean Harlow, Spencer Tracy, Heddy Lamar, Marlene Diet- rich, Gregory Peck, Lauren Bacall and Edward G. Robinson? These are just a few of the names loved by millions of movie-goers a few years ago. And today, there are still millions who can tell you all about these stars. Some of the best movies in the world are old ones that were made years ago. Some of the most memorable performances in movie and theater history were given by actors and actresses that some of the younger generation don't know. And also, some of the spell-binding movies are without the explicit sex and violence that are so prevalent in films today. Who could forget Henry Fonda in “The Grapes of Wrath? Marlon Brando as the soft-spoken Mexican guerilla in “Viva Zapata”! Humphrey Bogart as the captain of The African Queen with Katharine Hepburn? Or how about Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in “Gone with the Wind?” Many of these old films have made pertinent statements about the people and their times that still hold true today. For instance, Viva Zapata! is about the Mexican Rev- olution, but it portrays the basic human desire of man to control his own life. Perhaps one of the reasons why some of these films are so good is that they were under a strict code that regulated sex and violence. It was a form of censorship, which we are probably better without, but it seemed to force directors to use more intense dialogue and plot to get their ideas across rather than the sex or violent blood baths which we seem to have today. Currently, a lot of remarks are being done of old favorites, but no matter how they try they can never recapture that special magic that makes a film a true classic.

The week that was full of cheerfulness is gone now but the memories linger on. On Monday we had the exchange assembly at Stuttgart. There were several talents from DHS which in- cluded a vocal group, the Twilights, a v: car skit, the Hokie-Pokies and Tami Neukam. The majorettes and cheer- leaders also performed. The senior Dragon football players were in- troduced by Coach Bobby Ashcraft. Wednesday, the “fifties came back to life. Girls wore long skirts with sweaters and bobbie socks. The boys wore tee-shirts and blue jeans. The cheerleaders got up bright and early Thursday and prepared break- fast for the team and the coaches. The Ricebirds presented an assembly Thursday morning. Afterward there was a reception given by the DHS Student Council. There was a pep rally on the court square Thursday afternoon. Friday, the students dressed in blue and gold. A pep rally was held in the gym and afterwards the cheerleaders served the team cake and punch. At 3:30 many students hurried to the Dragon field and put up as many signs as possible before the Ricebirds arrived. There were many signs, but nothing compared to the 50-foot Beat Stuttgart in 76 sign. Yes, we will always remember “Beat Stuttgart Week.” Captain Kim Dollar leads the squad and tans aound the square during the Thursday pep rally. concerts You sit and wait. Maybe you talk to friends, or listen to the first group or performer if they are any good. If smoking is allowed in the auditorium, maybe you do that. Or, if you’re a non-smoker, you could sit and glare at the smokers. But the main thing you do is wait. The first group finishes. They re- ceive their applause. The stage is empty. Everyone sits up a little straighter. A tenseness seems to fill the auditorium. Then suddenly something seems to explode. “He is on stage, and the concert is truly on. The power a performer can have over an audience is staggering. Depending upon the group, thou- sands of people can be melded into one entity, with only one object in mind: the performer. Superstar Elton John once told his audience that they could come a little closer if they wanted to. They tried, and almost knocked over the wire fence that had been set up around the stage. David Bowie, who is capable of making Alice Cooper look like a boy scout, can mesmerize his audience into excepting whatever he does on stage. In Bowie's new, cleaner” act his ability to hold people with his music remains unchanged. And what about Wings,” “Black Oak Arkansas,” Frampton” and all the others? Why do people shell out billions of dollars a year to go to concerts? What is this strange power some performers seem to have? What exactly makes a good concert come out that way? These questions are almost impossible to answer, be- cause no single thing will fit. Perhaps the last question is easiest. A good concert depends as much on the audience as it does on the group. The effect and feel of a good con- cert is almost impossible to describe. To answerthe how and why questions of concerts, you have to experience it. And once you do, you'll never forget. sL Kellie Woods Linda Woods Pam Woods Harold Wright 105 sophomores Freshmen Although the freshmen were new to the halls of DHS, they still participated in lots of activities, such as pep assemblies, Student Council, and choosing class favor- ites. Homer HeWitt led the freshmen class as president and was assisted by vice-president Rick Duffield, secre- tary Becca Rasco, and treasurer Danny Bullock. The “class of 80 elected Danita Ransom, Clifford Ransom, Vicki Newsom, Renee Boyd, Rick Duffield, Wynn Strain, Homer HeWitt, Gary Woodiel, and Becca Rasco as their class favorites. The Student Council repre- sentatives were Becca Rasco, Alicia Hollanger, Tanya Elrod, Terri Patton, Perry Pike, Felisha Love, and Vicki Newsom. lass of 80 • Freshman • Class of 80 • Freshman • Class of 80 • Freshman • Class of 80 • Freshman • Class of 80 • Fresh Polly Kay Baxter Carl Billings Ken Bogue Mary Ann Bohannon Renee Boyd Tammy Brewer Cleophus Bronson Gregory Brown Danny Bullock Tanya Burley 106 freshmen The freshman show spirit in the pep assembly.

Even though students may moan at the thought of these two courses, they happen to be the most exciting. The reasons for each one vary. The English I teachers this year were Mrs. Dianna Denton and Mrs. Virginia Nichols. When freshmen students were asked what they thought about English I, all students answered with It's fun. The stu- dents had the privilege to listen to the radio while in class, and they played basketball as a skillful game using grammar and literary work. One thing they enjoyed was keeping journals of their daily life. For a good atmos- phere, candles and incense were burned. Freshmen were also taken to the Arkansas Theater to see Romeo and Juliet. Maybe there was one thing some students didn't like and that was when they used ain't in class and had to pay a nickel. When they were tardy, they had a court with the class as the jury to find if they were guilty or innocent. Some may think they do nothing but goof off — that's wrong — they study because it's interesting. One agreed their teachers made a great influence. Science was taught by Coach Sterling Love and Mrs. Diane Johnson. When students got down to the real thing, they studied — earth and planets mostly. Notebooks and post- ers were usually turned in.

Favorite V Shows o o Have you ever come home from school and sat down in front of the TV with a coke and a candy bar to enjoy one of your favorite after- noon TV shows? This is one of the favorite things that students do for enjoyment. It takes our mind off a problem that we had in algebra or helps to relax our mind before we start on our essay for English. TV is a nice thing to have around when we are bored or when we just feel like relaxing after a hard day at school. We all think TV is well worth the money sent. Here are a few of DHS's favorite TV shows: Rhoda ‘Starsky and Hutch” Good Times” Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman Welcome Back, Kotter” Midnight Special” Happy Days” Charlie's Angles Family Baretta They are all true favorites of DHS students.

Mom, I have to have new clothes to start to school, like blue jeans, T-shirts, and tennis shoes. Lines such as these are heard by the parents of students during the month of August. Even though many stu- dents buy expensive clothes at the beginning of the school year, blue jeans, T-shirts, and tennis shoes are worn by the end of school. When students were asked why their wardrobes consisted of mostly these clothes, they answered, “because they are more comforta- ble, “I like them, or they are neat and you never have to change clothes when you get home from school.” It seems that students are not the only ones on the campus who wear jeans, even some of the teachers do. There is no doubt, blue jeans, T-shirts, and tennis shoes are the most fashionable clothes on the school campus this year. 112 freshmen Linda Johnson Roger Johnson Steven Johnson Mary James Valerie Kagebein John Carl Keaton Damain LaFargue Donnie Lane Virginia Lee Tim Lewis It seems that tennis shoes and colored socks are very fashionable.

Besides, I am here for your benefit, not mine. You fill me with your books in no particular order. Sometimes I am even filled with belongings from home that are not necessary. Don't mention food. You know that strange smell could be your apple or orange you have left with me ever since the first six weeks! All that work you put into that paper for American History or Biology that came up missing? Well, I probably still have it, but it is hard to find in all this mess. I hate for you to come out of class hungry or angry. You slam my face as if I did it, and really I do not even know anything about it. I want to ask you this, “Does slamming my face really help the situation? Think about it honestly. You know how you take care of me Debbie Miller Margaret Moore Tammy Moppin Randy Moritz Joanie Moss Richie Moss Steve Murphy Vicki Newsom Steve Nordberg Doris Nugent 114 freshmen reflects back on your home. If you keep your room nice and neat, I will be nice and neat. If you keep your room in a hopeless case, I will be likewise. If you had any pride, that would make you want to keep me half-way clean You treat me as if I had no feelings, but I do. You know how you hate to be dirty and smelly? Well, so do I. Another thing, while I am getting this off my chest, I am not a security guard. You leave your lunch money with me and expect me to protect it. I will, as long as one of your kind is not around. You must realize though, that I have no strength against your kind. All they have to do is open my face and I will pour out my whole mouth to them. If I did reach out to hit them, they would go tell it. And who would believe it? John Nutt Roger Nutt Jerri Pace Chip Parker Terri Patton Bobby Pennington Linise Phillips Perry Pike J. E. Ponder Laura Jo Prange 115 freshmen WIEAIC it’s AT Fads! What would we do without them! Here around DHS we have quite a few! One fad that will never go out of style for teenagers in this area is rid- ing around the square. The Court- house Square in the center of town has served as a meeting place for years. Jeans dominated wardrobes of most students. Faded pre-washed blue jeans ended up costing $10 or more than the brand new ones. Necklaces encircled some very masculine necks this year, but then fashion’s impact showed on everyone. Skateboards are fun but require more skill and talent than everyone realizes. Wearing gaucho’s and boots might have been in style but one did take some kidding. Look at the cowgirl! “Where is her horse? Suspender’s are suppose to hold one's pants up, but some enjoy wearing them just for looks. Though all Dragon’s didn't fit into the skateboard and gaucho set that was the rage in '77 ... many caught the fever. You're in if, like Joe Snyder, your wardrobe includes shelled necklaces laced on liquid silver. Homer HeWitt sports built-in over-all suspenders around DHS.

Debra Rowland Angela Ruz Graylon Sanders Jerry Scroggins Justine Shaw Beverly Simpson Harvey Simpson Kathy Simpson Vicki Simpson Henry Smiley Keep CJj tile Qfassl f by Lynn Schorstein What do you do at lunch time? How do you spend that precious half- hour? Do you study in the library? (Some do, you know). Talk with friends? Play catch, or maybe some other game? Or, do you just do noth- ing? A leisurely walk around the school grounds will reveal many amusing sights. Here and there groups of students are clustered together. Sometimes they stand, sometimes they sit. They are up to that age-old pastime, gossiping, and there are as many boys doing it as there are girls. Various types of games are in prog- ress. Everything from catch” to tackle football; occasionally, even a kite will show up. And, if you look very carefully, you will see a pennypitcher contest in progress. These are hard to spot; pennypitchers are shy creatures for obvious reasons. Something new has happened this year. Do you know that big, lovely strip of grass between the highway and the school? Yea, that one. In past years that area of the school was practically deserted at lunchtime. The freshmen used to gather at the doors to their halls, but this year they seem to have migrated onto that grass. It's not that the grass was ever off-limits, it’s just that we upperclassmen thought it was. The one person who should be an authority on what happens at lunch is Mr. Miles, the principal. Lunch just isn't the same if he doesn’t walk by a couple of times. Gee, I hope he has a comfortable pair of shoes. Mr. Miles gets a lesson in skateboard- ing at noon.

Jimmy who? Well, of course, Jimmy Carter, our thirty-ninth President of the United States. President Carter has brought back the down-to- earth hospitality to the White House. During President Carter’s campaign and after the election, Carter souvenirs went on sale. They were more successful than the Bicentennial souvenirs. There were pillows with his picture on it and bottle openers the shape of his head and with the opener on his teeth. There were T-shirts, peanut spray, and many other things. One lady even invented the Peanut Butter Pizza. It was a cheese pizza with peanut butter topping. The annual staff has chosen to ask the Middle School eighth graders just what they think of Presi- dent Carter. In reply, we received many good answers.

For someone that young, he has to except many responsibilities. Changing classes and using lockers are just a few of new school experiences. Some students miss the way things were at Westside, like recess, but most stu- dents are overjoyed to be at Junior High. Junior High is the period in every student's life that will be very exciting and educational. Students in Junior High begin to join different school clubs and organizations. Sports are a very important part of any Junior High. Girls may start playing basketball, or cheerleading, and boys may start playing football. All this and much more is what Junior High is all about. The annual staff asked the DeWitt Junior High sixth-graders what they liked most about Junior High.

We will continue on, each in our own way, some will return unwillingly, others will walk away in desolation. This has been a most unique year, most of it good, but of course, it did hold a few disappointments. Although we didn’t have a bonfire this year, the pep assembly and snake dance held on the square was a colorful change. Another highlight of 77” was our senior basketball girls winning the district contest and receiving the state sportsmanship trophy. As the summer progresses, we do the usual activities—swimming, GiGi Vansandt pins a corsage on Mrs Tom Davis at the basketball ice cream supper. Tami Relyea prepares to perform a stunt at a junior pep rally. 198 closing skiing, playing tennis, or just loafing around. During this time, graduates are preparing for college or looking for jobs. No matter how far we branch out we ll always reminisce about our years at DHS. In our closing, we would like to express a special thanks to a few, who made the completion of the Dragon possible. First of all we would like to thank Jimmy DeVore for his time and consideration — he was always there to help us at critical times. We would like to thank Mr. Tom Walker in planning and preparing this book. Another thank you goes to Mr. Miles in his cooperation and special understanding. We would also like to extend a very special thanks to Edna, Kim, Babbie, GiGi, Curtis, Tami, and Jane who stayed beside us all the way. The DeWitt Era-Enterprise was also helpful and much appreciated by the annual staff. We hope you enjoy this annual and that we have caught the most trea- surable memories. It's been hard work, long and sometime exas- perating, but as we look back, it has been worthwhile. Co-editors, Beth DeVore and Gaye Nordberg. 200 'losing The band performs another good half-time show. Laura Jo Prange yells at a pep rally. Teacher's pet!
