Dobson High School - Equus Yearbook (Mesa, AZ)

Style + IMAGE = Pride. After the success- ful style of the student body was firmly estab- lished, a change in the school’s image was real- ized. Past problems with open lunch and the com- munity dissolved for the most part. Students worked at exemplifying perfect behavior, and quickly restored pride and respect to the school. Another side of Dob- son became increasingly apparent to the surround ing community as indus- trious over-achievers gathered a growing num- ber of special honors and awards. A school-record six National Merit Semi- finalists were named. Per- forming groups, such as Speech and Debate, bands, orchestra, and choirs established a win- ning tradition, as did the football teams. With a unique style and positive image devel- oped, the only thing left to do was finally reap the reward which came in a new sense of unbridled pride. Design by Hilary Ste- phens.
