Among their summer activities was the annual D-C FFA softball tournament in which they took second. The county fairs found several club members showing their exhibits with one member advancing to the state fair. Some of the activities in the club include the soils, forestry, general livestock, dairy products, fish wildlife, and dairy teams. The soils team, placing first in districts, advanced to state competition, and the forestry also advanced to state competition with their fourth place finish at districts. Some members attended State Greenhand Camp in Alexandria, while others attended the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Kansas. They have also toured the U of M experiment station at Waseca, and the Jack Frost poultry facilities in Cold Spring and Sauk Rapids. Their annual test plot did well and freshmen members also planted trees at Spring Lake Park. This spring members will compete in ag mechanics, floriculture, nursery, parliamentary procedure, meats, crops, and poultry. Athletic Club is mainly responsible for working in the concession stand although members are also responsible for the athletic banquets. The Athletic Club is consisted of students who have lettered in a sport. The Athletic Club advisor is Mr. Kliewer. TICJETST Athletic Club Officers (above right): Sec. Lau- ra Hannus. V. Pres.

Not only should a yearbook contain good memories, but it should also be a way to learn more about your student body and an awareness of the activities around you. Best of luck to the graduating seniors, and to those who will carry on the tradition of DC quality.

A District Championship was won by the Charger Baseball team in beating Annandale 15-11. The team had a 4-3 record in conference play and finished up with a 13-8 season record. Led by the slugging of Dwight Kotila (6HR) and Todd Kay (4HR). the team leading RBI's of Dan Johnson (24) and a superb pitching staff, the Chargers once again came on strong in tournament play. The graduation of John Kaczmarek will be felt in the pitching staff but a strong threesome of Darren Bruss. Dan McGinty and Jamie Gustafson will be back to pace the ‘88 version.

With only 17 participants, it was difficult to win high team standings but individudl honors were available. Kevin Carlen paced the boys team while 7th grader. Char Reinke, led the way for the girls. Char won the A-GC meet and placed well in the others. The boys will have 4 letter winners back next year to provide a strong nucleus for this young sport.

Thanks girls for everything you have contributed to the athletic program at D-C. 121 team could muster this season but proved to be highly competitive in losing several meets by very close scores. The 6 seniors provided strong leadership until injuries slowed the team and reduced the depth of the squad.
