2 MW? During a rare moment of free time, TV offers modest entertainment. Thea Johnson watches the soap opera Loving in her living room before starting homework, Instead of going to work, as many serious students do, Terri Fashing and Mary Christensen play in a friend's wagon. They claim this helps relieve school pressures. PT: When students feel the need for physical ac- ity, sports help. Andy Middleton turns his collar and prepares for a backhand. 5

Doing something out of the ordinary often helps active students let off steam. Brian Carson and Steve Noll unicycle down the hallway, a familiar sight in circuses, but not often in schools. Back breaking work includes carrying heavy books. Audra Ehmann punches numbers furiously into her calculator in hopes of leaving her trigonometry behind. 4 hange of scene after school The last bell finally rang. The day seemed it would never end. At last the books were put aside and time was ours for the rest of the day. Some students stayed after for help in their more difficult classes but after the last buses pulled away, most classrooms were emp- ty. For many, sports were the an- swer to what to do after school. The choices were certainly wide and varied: baseball, football, ten- nis, volleyball, golf, basketball, running, soccer, and wrestling were offered throughout the year. Always in preparation for the next game, there was work to do. Other students went to jobs after leaving DCHS. Jobs at local fast food restaurants, drug stores, and other merchants were juggled with homework and social life. Sometimes one was neglected for the other. For those fortunate enough to have free time on their hands, it was filled 'by many things. A re- lease for some was to watch TV reruns and eat junk food. Going out with friends was a favorite activity, but others sat down and cracked the books right away. Just relaxing was often a great relief, sometimes this in- volved sleeping. No matter what we chose in the after hours, there always seemed plenty to do.

As part of the Hometown Days parade, the DCHS band marches down Wilcox playing El Tigre. Mike Crouch, the lead trumpet, plays with his head held held high, For the parade, the senior class turns on the spirit and wins the prize for best float. ln keeping with the theme, Kim Miles, a for- mer student, rides the float with members of the senior class, Steve Miles, Susan Kelly, and Rhonda Ward, who are all dressed as teenagers from the fifties. Since the class of '85 is always looking toward the future, their float reflects upon the past. With hair slicked back, Shon Bersch is from the fifties, Heath Haddock, and Craig Denkler are present day juniors, and Amy Hanna and Lea Kent are demonstrators from the sixties era. Jia?
