ART DEPARTM PHYSICAL EDUCATION SONJA CORN ELL DeWitt High School is, indeed, fortunate to have someone like Mrs. Cornell to add a sense of beauty to an otherwise bleak and drab atmosphere. Her talent in the arts is frequently expressed, through her students, to add class and pizazz to a number of efforts and pro- jects of the student body. MIKE KEEVAN C Mr. Keevan's greatest contribution to the P.E. department is made in the teaching of swimming, life saving, and in the exercise of his responsibilities of pool management. lf Mr. Keevan can not be located in our pool, one should look toward the waters of the eauator. DEBORAH BOYD-HANCOCK In addition to the instructlon of numerous physical education classes, Ms. Boyd makes avaliable to DeWitt High School students an excellent class of Health Education. When not actively involved in those pursuits, Ms. Boyd en- ioys her husband, doa, 6 her hobbies. 67

MATH AND COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT RICHARD HAWKINS One must acknowledge that Mr. Hawkins' greatest contribution to DeWitt High School has been his efforts in the development of one of the 5tate's best computer science programs. ln addition to computing, Mr. Hawkins participates in skiing, running and traveling. LARRY BAIRD ln the instruction of Intro. Math, Algebra ll, and Consumer Math, Mr. Baird strives toward the goal of assisting students to think In a logical and precise manner. In addition to teaching, Mr. Baird has en- joyed a successful coaching experience in that some eight year period. 66 SHERYL EZZE The ROOKIE of the DeWitt staff has teaching responsibilities in the math areas of analysis, trigonometry, algebra and intorduction to math. If removed from the classroom, she would most logically be found working over a hot ,stove participating in her hobby of cooking I Qq GAILEN THORNTON The geometric drawings found on the chalkboords of Mr. Thornton's room may in fact be necessary for the instruction of his geometry classes, and then on the other hand, may very likely be a part of the BATTLE PLANS for this Friday's foot- ball game. Regardless of which, Mr. Thornton does them both well.

SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT ELAINE KUTCHINS The 22 years that Mrs. Kutchlns has spent in service to DeWitt High School establishes her as the most senlor member of the faculty. Mrs. Kutchln's knowledge and in-depth understanding of the social studies subject matter also contributes to the widespread attitude of respect that we all have for the con- tributions that Mrs. Kutchlns makes to our high school experience. Ms. Kutchins enjoys her work with graduating seniors. 68 BARRY KLOENHAMER When not actively engaged in his favorite activity, abusing Kent Gartslde, Mr. Kloenhamer can usually be found either coaching track and cross country athletes or coaching the many students that are in need of history or economics credits. When outside of school time is available, Mr. Kloenhamer CBEAKJ is often involved in one of his hobbies of fishing, 'runnin', or relaxing. LONDA HORTON Found at the opposite rung of the senority ladder is Ms. Horton. Wlth 1985 being only her second year as a member of the DeWitt staff, she claims to provide youth, beauty, and bralns to the DHS social studies department. Her antique auto repair hobby was shelved with the purchase of her 1985 Fiero, which provides more time for her coaching responsibilities in the sports of girls' basketball and girls' J.V. softball.
