 A Judge Nix describes the stagecoach robbery to Chet Pussy and saloon owner Calamity Jane, who listen intently. Lily Blossom blindly feels her way across the floor of the Mantrap Saloon while the Chinese cook, Pong Ping looks on. “More or less, considerably less or more, than more or less,” states Judge Nix over a glass of red-eye.”

DRAGON TALES Planning strategy for the last issue of the Dragon Talcs arc underclassmen Karen Proctor, Bill Buoquov. Pat Anderson, Rob Cantonwinc and Wayne Kester. TOP RATING CONTINUES Dragon Tales, the school newspaper, operated with twenty-seven members including reporters, editors, photographers, managers, a cartoonist and one advisor. The advisor, Mr. Jim Fairchild, worked a first year as Dragon Tales coordinator, taking Mrs. Margaret Kelley’s place (who retired). Mr. Fairchild felt that the newspaper had improved from the beginning of the year with big changes taking place in-the content of the paper. They emphasized only stated facts, with some issues emphasizing special problems facing the school. Some of the issues covered included the treatment of the student parking lot, school vandalism, and extra-curricular athletics. The staff held random jobs, and each member helped with loose ends; the only exception was the photographers and the editors. The chief editors for the year were Linda Launer and Mandel Warner. Extra time was required after school as the staff did their own paste-up every other Thursday at the Itemizer-Observer. A total of sixteen papers were circulated throughout the year. One issue was distributed every two weeks with the exception of vacations. A second All-American honor rating came to the staff at midterm, giving them two in succession. Editros Linda Launer and Mandell Warner alot space for the special Christmas issue of the Dragon Tales. Seniors, Renee Bodine, Bryan Chambers and Tony Schmidt accept journalism awards at the senior awards night. Dragon Tales 27

“We'll hold ’em off at the pass!” exclaims Wild Bill Hickok as he goes after Deadwood Dick. “Name yore pizen!” shouts Chet Pussy, the bartender at the Mantrap Saloon. “Five . .. and five more and five more is the bet.”, while Blackman Redburn and Red Harris play a game of poker with their lives at stake. WINTER PLAY DEADWOOD DICK A premiere performance by students expanded the reputation of drama and acting at D.H.S. in the winter play “Deadwood Dick”. The three-act melodramatic comedy starring Bryan Glendinning as Blackman Redburn, Steve Forbes portraying Judge Nix, Kim Duncan as Calamity Jane, Bill Bucquoy as Wild Bill Hickok, Andy Peterson in the role of Ned Harris, Chris Ayers as Lilly Blossem, Rinda Montgomery in the role of Mollie Lovelace and Wayne Wellman as the show’s favorite, Chet Pussy. Attempting to find her long-lost father and the secret of the gold mine, Lily returns to the town of Deadwood and is abducted by Deadwood Dick. She then falls in the hands of notorious gold seekers. The cast had the unique opportunity to view a similar performance by the students of McNary High in Salem and most felt the Dallas presentation was the better of the two. Most of the cast and crew felt that this play was fun to do, was popular with audiences and the production crew and was ably directed by Mr. John Klien. According to student director, Megaera Jarvis, melodramatics is both interesting and rewarding. Winter Play 29
