What is Academic Decathlon? The answer to that was very simple. The Academic Decathlon team was a group of students who par- ticiapted in a competition consisting of ten academically based events. After taking a summer school class for four hours a day, the team was ready to compete. This was the first year that the Academic Decathlon team began to prepare for competi- tion before school began in September. The decision for a summer school class was one which will really benefit the team. In com- parison to prior years, we'll be more successful and competitivef, said Ioan Staroscik. Staroscik worked together with Carlene Brown as the advisors of the Decathlon team. The competition took place at West High of Different Kind School on Saturday, November 15.

CD Lending a Hand 1 LJ...l QD A DD ffiil' I'LL GET YOU FOR THAT! - jokes Barbara m Ito to Diana Garrett as an amused Ioe Ridges looks on. Ito, Ridges, and Gar- rett were all active -J members of the Boosters. PATIENTLY WAITING Although the students may have hated to admit it, adults could be helpful. For example, there were two adult organizations which were a big help to DBHS. These two were the Boosters and the School Board. The Boosters are basically a group of parents who raise money for important things that can't be paid for by the school budget, said treasurer Tamyra Crane. This kept the students from hav- ing to do fund raisers. The Boosters ran bingo every Saturday, paid for the student store, and planned to pay for an upcoming Physics lab. The elected board of the Boosters was: President - Ray Drum, Vice Presidents - Ron Nordschow and Ray Komraus, and Secretaries - Diana Garrett and Shirley Shuler. The other board members were Tamyra Crane, Mike Karcher, Con- rad Lund, Arlene Allan, Don Wyse, Barbara Ito, Ioe Ridges, Eileen An- sari, and Vicki Ridges. Most people probably didn't realize all the School Board also did for DBHS. Among other things, the Board had to approve activities and field trips before they were allowed to take place. The School Board con- sisted of President Ralph Kimball, Vice President Ellen Wyse, Clerk Helen Hall, Carol Herrera, and Iohn Forbing. vat as J , - for the School Board meeting to begin are School Superintendent Dr. David Brown and School Board member Carol Herrera. Meetings were held at the district office on a monthly basis. CONDUCTING BUSINESS - is the School Board President, Ralph Kimball. The School Board's decisions were always imcportant to t e students because any major issues had to be decide through the board. 74 OrgonizotionsfBoostersfSchoolBoard 'QQ
