Wainfenance The janitors are so busy working they couldn't even spare time to have their pictures taken lor the yearbook. Cr maybe it was because they didn't think they worked hard enough to warrant a picture ol themselves. However, the yearbook statt certainly think they did and would like to give them recognition. The maintenance men are Clarence Bates, Paul Beauseigneur, Elwood CDiggerD Shultz, and paul Qjuniorl Bothe. Clarence Bates has worked longer at DHS than the other janitors and is in charge ot the second and third Floors. Paul Bothe has been with us for almost two years. You will Find this curly haired janitor roaming the First Floor lor this is the tloor he is in charge ot. paul Beausigneur, who has worked in the Dixon schools tor almost fourteen years is in charge ol the boiler room, lawn, and shoveling ol the walks. Elwood Shultz is in charge of the lockerrooms, cafeteria, gymnas- ium, library, restrooms, wood shops, and other miscellaneous rooms. Ill The ollice girls do a great deal ot work that the students ol DHS never know about Generv ally the only reason the students use the oltice is to buy paper, locate lost and lound articles, or use the telephone. The girls who do the record keeping, bookf keeping, correspondence, and handling sup- plies are very capable. They are Mrs. Betty Kibble, graduate ol DHS, Mrs, Pauline Al- bright, and Mrs. Gertrude Milliken. You olten find Betty, or Upaulinem walking into your classroom to collect the attendance slip the teacher forgot to put out. The attend- ance record is another important job carried on by these girls. It your mother calls from home and leaves a message tor you, the oltice girls will see that the information is gotten to you by calling you on the school telephones which are located in every room. They will help you Find out when you are looking tor information about the school, your grades, subjects, and students. mama fm en iam CMM 0 194 Spring, 1954, the time of the year when the seniors of DHS will be looking back over their high school days with the recollection of many happy memories and experiences. Many will remember the first day they passed through those main doors into what many con- sidered a different world. We became official- ly initiated into the school on October 17, 1950, when we came dressed with green hair ribbons and carrying dolls. As Hfreshiesn we became acquainted with the school, gained new friends, looked in awe at the upper- classmen, and familiarized ourselves with the different teaching arrangement. Many were the times when we had to ask upper-classmen the directions to a class. Class officers from our freshman class were jim Collins, president, David Murphy, vice president, and Tom Huf- ford, secretary-treasurer. The girls who joined GAA. this year enjoyed a trip to Chicago to see the Sonia Henie lce Revue. From this class of QO9, twenty-two of the members made the honor roll the first quarter. As exhalted sophomores we were no longer regarded as the babies of the school. More of us went out for band, choral work, G.A,A. 12 Senior class officers: Peter Schuler, president, Nancy Countryman, vice president, and Jim Collins, Secretary-treasurer. and the other various clubs. This year we elected l.arry Lund, president, ,lim Collins, vice president, and john Cuorman, secretary- treasurer, finally we were upper-classmenl We plan- ned our first all school party and attended our first prom to which we had eagerly looked forward to. Qur athletes played a big role in varsity sports. We elected as class officers this year: Bob Ashford, president, Pon French, vice president, and Sobra Steward, secretary- treasurer. Now, before we've even had time to catch a breath, our senior year has come to a close. Time passed quickly while we planned for our yearbook, cap and gowns, senior pictures, the prom, and graduation. Homecoming was an outstanding feature this year with Sabra Stew- ard elected Queen with Nancy Countryman and Lynn Missman as her attendants. Pete Schuler, president, Nancy Countryman, vice president, and Jim Collins, secretary-treasurer, were elected as senior class officers. The future holds much for this graduating class and it will be with pleasant memories that we will depart from our four years at Dixon High School.

It all ends up happily however, with Anne in the arms of the prof. The supporting cast included Dessa Trout- CL Festival which was held in Dixon on Feb. 12, 1954.

The Dixon High School wrestling squad had its best year in 1954, winning six matches while losing seven. This is not too impressive, but consider that Dixon, who has only been wrest' ling for three years is matched against many schools who have had the sport for eight or more years, then the picture becomes much brighter. The two teams in the N.C.l.C. who have had wrestling longer than Dixon are Sterling and Geneseo. Rock Falls and Ottawa have both had the sport for three years as the Dukes, and Dixon beat both of them very soundly this past season. After finishing the year with a 4-4 conference record, Dixon entered the N.C.l.C. Wrestling meet and walked off with third place. The Duke gropplers had two champions and five second place winners in the meet. The win- ners were Glenn Bock at 106, and Hugh Burke at 165, while joe jones at 115, Ron French at 175, Don Spotts at Heavyweight, Bob Ash- ford at 154, and Roger Buckaloo at 145 took second place ribbons. Coach Don Barnhart took his squad to Moline, where they wound up the season competing in the Sectional Tournament. Although no Duke grappler reached the finals, four fourth places were capped by the following boys: Hugh Burke at 165, Bud Melvin at Heavyweight, Glenn Bock at 106, and joe jones at 115, The team as a whole amassed nine points and a fifth place in a field of eleven. There were seven seniors on the voristy wrestling squad this year. They were Glenn Bock, john Gorman, joe jones, Roger Buck' aloo, Bob Ashford, Hugh Burke, and Ron French. The letter-winners included the above mentioned boys plus Tom Coffey and Les Ku- becka, freshmen, Bud Melvin, sophomore, and Paul Carlson, a junior.
