DA WSON SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL DAWSON SPRINGS, KENTUCKY EDITORS — JOAN HULSEY SCOTT SHELTON We welcome Mr. Phillip Back to Dawson this year as full time principal. When he's not signing tardy slips and excuses, he's making unsuccessful locker raids. Too Bad!! Admin. Faculty- Pages 10 - 27. This year’s 1976 Seniors are very close knit kids who like to show their affection for one another. As Kenny and Neal say. Remember: LOVE (LL) KEEP US TO- GETHER!! Seniors Pages- 28-51. Dawson High has many opportunities to afford a stu- dent. How about a water fountain that's always ac- comodating? Or is it a resi- dent ghost? Whatever, it’s always Cool at Dawson!! Features- Pages-52-63. Every class has it's own uniqueness. Without them all classes would be essentially the same, but thank goodness, they're not! All classes have one distinguishing look! One of DHS's juniors, Bennette Mouser, illustrates hers!!! Classes- Pages- 64-91. The clubs and organizations at D. S. H. S. provide a very in- teresting curve to the dull day by day hum-drum. Like Yearbook says. Grin If You Got One!! Clubs Organizations. Pages- 92-111, o ok ViiAt 15... Pott HI V is for Victory!!

Miss Jo Hazlewood Mr. Ray (otherwise known as Papa Ray) is well known for the way he dresses and his pipe. We here at D. S. H. S. owe him a lot. For one thing, he got rid of the dull colors on the walls and gave us a lot of new and interesting subjects. Mr. Ray has made Dawson a better school in many ways, and all we can say is Thank-You Superintendent John Ray 14 Our school saw many new arrivals this year, one of whom was Mr. Back. Although new as a principal, he isn't new to D. H. S. , having coached and taught math here before. One of the nice things he has given us is the ten minute break we have after home room. Welcome back! Mr. Back. 15 LEFT: Don Inglis, Herbert Chaney, Noel Wise, John Ray, Donnie Goodwin, and Gail Purdy. Secretary- Dola Monroe Secretary- Beth Ann James 16 I worked at the desk in the lobby of my dorm at E.U. My husband was in the army and was stationed at Ft. Knox. He would often show up at my dorm at midnight on Saturdays on his motorcycle to spend the weekend. The dean of women lived in my dorm and would come out and work for me so I could pack and leave on Monday. I was always teased by my friends about riding off in the night with Marlon Brando on his motorcycle!! Mrs. Caudill is our Guidance Counselor at DSHSH At 2:30 a.m. in 15°weather someone pulled the fire alarm and we all had to walk down 9 flight of stairs and stand out in the cold with only our housecoats on for about 30 minutes. Mrs. Krautheim teaches 7th 8th grade Math, Geometry, Algebra, is sponsor of Sr. Beta Club. Late one night in Woods Hall, I de- cided to go downstairs to get a coke. Our vending machines were in the basement, and without putting on my robe, I went down in my short nightgown. As I was coming back up our security guard was going down. Being the shy and modest person that I am, I nonchalantly said Hello” and held my hysteria and laughter till I got back the 2nd floor. Thi' was my most embarassing moment in college. Miss Kiebler is one of our new teachers this year and teaches several subjects. 17 I came in 3rd in the 880 yd. run while attending SWU in Memphis, Tennessee. They put us on stands like in the Olympics and as I was being presented my medal, I turned around and vomited!! Coach Manas- co is the athletic director of DSHS and al- so teaches P. E. and Drivers Education. My most embarrassing moment in col- lege occurred during my senior year when I was caught mocking one of my business teachers. This teacher was an older lady who had a very bad habit of using the ex- pression Don't ya see” and at the same time using hand gestures. My cousin and I were in the same class and thought it would be fun to see how often she did it in one period. It was fun til we were caught and confronted before the class. Mrs. Holland teaches Business Math, Account- ing, Typing, and co-sponsors the 8th grade class. At Western, there was one big shower room in the middle of each floor. One day I took my shower at mid-morning, my roommate, for the first time, decided to attend all his classes. He left and locked the door. All I had taken with me were the necessities. When I returned, the door was locked, so I had to sit in the hall about 30 minutes till another friend of mine let me sit in his room. I stayed there for 2 hours still waiting for him to come back!! Mr. Nallia teaches History, and is the co-sponsor of Sr. Beta Club, Jr. Class. 18 One day my friend and I were kind of short on money and wanted to play golf. We crawled under the fence and went on and played anyway. Everything was going fine but the scores. We got to the last few holes and I was ahead of my friend. An official stopped me and asked me if I had my ticket to show I'd payed. Being an honest man I said no, that when we came there wasn't anyone at the desk so we went on. He then asked us not to play again without paying. Mr. Phelps is our J.V. coach and teaches Science, Health, and P. E. Mr. Bowden does more than just teach Science here at DSHS. He teaches Physi- cal Science, General Science, Jr. High Science and Chemistry but also Physics. He is the sponsor of the Science Club, Cross Country Track, and Girls Track. I once waited too long about finishing an insect collection project for my Biology class and found myself out at 5 o’clock one frosty December morning hunting in- sects under rocks and buildings. Mr. Buzzard teaches Science, and Industrial Arts, and is a co-sponsor of the Fresh- men class. 19 My sophomore year saw many humor- ous and embarrassing situations, but my blind date with J. Strange had to be the most unusual. He certainly lived up to his name. He's the only guy I ever dated who came to get me in faded blue jeans, flannel shirt, farm boots, and a white Stetson hat. (That doesn't sound unusual to students now-a-days, but at that time it was considered freakish.) To make matters worse, I had worn a dress for once! The highlight of the evening was when I dodged earthworms that had crawled up on the sidewalk, to avoid hold- ing hands with this guy!! Miss Hazlewood is an English and Spanish teacher. She sponsors Jr. Beta Club, Senior class and is our beloved yearbook advisor!!! One of the most embarrassing things to happen to me in college was in '73. I was playing the part of the Devil in the annual production of Campus Lights . During the 2nd act, I was supposed to come out on stage sing a song harrass everyone. In rehearsals, I always picked up a desk-chair threw it across the stage. The last night of the play I picked one up that had someone in it. As I threw the chair, the person iq it fell out the chair went over the stage into the aud- ience. The show wasn’t a total wreck un- til I went truckin' across the stage nearly fell off myself!!!! I lived on the 6th floor of a dorm that had outdoor balconies. Each night from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. the door at the bottom of the outside stairwell connecting the balconies was locked no one was al- lowed to use them. To be sure that no one broke this rule the campus police kept a close watch. My room was only a few steps away from the balconies--even in my sleep. I was very surprised one morn- ing to find myself outside about 2 a. m. in the morn!! 20 I will never forget crawling around Hopkins County courthouse in pedal push- ers and knee socks for my Beta Club initi- ation. Miss Kemp is the lady who with the help of her workers, keep the library neat and in order for your use. She can locate any book in only a few minutes and is al- ways ready to help. The spring of my Freshman yr. I elected to join a tennis class, and was re- quired to take a Basic Design Art class. Both classes met on the same day--tennis first then art. This particular day I had dressed for tennis, leaving my school clothes in my locker. After class, I re- turned and found out that I had locked up my locker key in my locker and couldn't get dressed. I had to get a janitor to cut off the lock, but to avoid being late for art class, I had to stroll across campus in my baggy blue tennis shorts, tennis shoes, and white crew socks, carrying my rack- et in hand and embarrassment all over my face!! Mrs. Harned is new here this year teaches Home Ec. co-sponsors the ninth grade. I had been working in my jewelry mak- ing class and decided to quit and go back to the dorm. I carried all of my silver, stones, and tools, in a large tackel box. When I got in the door way to go I hit it against something, and all my stuff in the box scattered everywhere. So I crawled around trying to pick it up while people came in and out of the door. I was very embarrassed at the time, but now I think it must have looked pretty funny to every- one else!! Mrs. Scott teaches Art, Ky. History, co-sponsors the senior class. 21 Most of my free time in college was taken up with theatre production work and practices and rehearsals for the Western Ky. dance company. There was one em- barrassing time when I was sound direc- tor for a musical The Music Man and I didn't turn the microphone on for the leading mans main love song! Ms. Lem- ker is our new English teacher coming from Western in the 2nd semester. She teaches English and co-sponsor of the 10th grade. Now, Now, He can't deserve that bad! 22 Really, Mr. Nallia!! Aren't you a bit too old to play peek-a-boo? Happy Birthday, Mrs. Siebert. You look wonderful in the gown your students gave you for a present! Poor Mrs. Walker. Work, work, work! Look at all those papers. 23 Mrs. Parsons and Mr. Luther teach the 6th grade. As grade school teachers, they face one of the toughest jobs in school. They must mold and shape a group of unpredictable grade schoolers into Jun- ior High material, plus teaching them a little something in the process. Good Luck A new experiment was tried in the 5th grade this year. There is just one room and the kids have a table for each subject. Mrs. Seibert and Miss. Lindsey are suited to this task quite well. They have an easy going style and the kids have fun. When you finally reach the 4th grade, 1 3 of school is over, to help you make it the rest of the way are two very smart teachers. Miss Lowery and Miss Adkins. There teaching experience has put many kids on the right road to education. In the third grade you learn to do two things, write and mul- tiply. It's a tough job, but Mrs. Dunbar and Mrs. Franklin are really up to it. They make learning fun and interesting. But after all isn't that what it's all about? The second year of school is exciting and the second grader has many new things awaiting him. One of them is his new teachers, Mrs. Coats and Miss John- son. One of the biggest thrills for a child is starting the first grade. It is something he will always remember. Learning read- ing writing, and arithmetic, but most of all making new friends. To help him along whenever he needs it are Mrs. Herrara and Miss Barber. 25 This is the second year we have had a kindergarden and most 4 and 5 year olds attend. Miss Raegan and Mrs. Lanham are there to welcome them and start their learning years. Mrs. Ray (or Mama Ray) is the lady who plans the menues and does the shop- ping for our lunchroom. She is a busy lady because she also goes along on school Mrs. Moore stays busy all the Time. She ran the book fair, and is like a mother to the gradeschool. Although this isn't Mrs. Headly's first year here, she is always coming up with ideas to hold the attention of the Special Education class. And having fun doing it. 26 Remedial Reading is the class where kids learn to read and enjoy it. Under the teaching of Mrs. Harned and Miss Hood, they learn their vowels and how to pro- nounce new words. Lunchroom Staff.

DANNY CARLTON Danny Carlton is a per- son who likes to blow his own horn, literally. He has played a trumpet ever since grade school, and is current- ly one of Dawson's top pep band musicians.

TERESA CHAPPEL Teresa's another girl in the Senior class who always has something to say about every thing, though her conversation does tend to include a certain person. Ruby is now engaged to a former W. H. Rebel so we know her future holds big, bright, and beautiful things. Good Luck to and Mike both, Teresa. PAM CLARK Clark Bar is a really sweet girl as everyone knows ind is always on the go. You rarely ever see Pam any- where unless she's got her boyfriend Sam with her.

Working for the Dawson Springs Police as a radio operator for almost two years, he was always the first to know of any excite- ment going on in Dawson. Even though Joe doesn't plan to stay with the police, he is planning a career in the Air Force. Best of luck to you, Joe!!! LINDA COTTON Rudolph was new at DHS last year. She is originally from Chicago and like others who have gone to larger schools, she finds little 'ole DHS a big change. She's noted for her northern accent and, of course, her red nose! Linda sacrifices one hour each day to help the first grade, and plans to become a teacher. Good luck to you, Linda. SANDY DIC KM AN When Sandy came to DHS two years ago, everyone ac- cepted the fact that she was here and different. Soon, though, she was caught up in the hustle and the bustle of DHS, and she was then a veteran. Her musical ability was displayed when she joined the band, and her voice when she joined the choir. Sandy's future in- cludes marriage, and we're all sure she'll make the best of her life. KATHY EVANS Kathy is a very versatile young lady. When asked what she liked to do, she spilled off a long list of things: foot- ball, bowling, swimming, but mostly cruising around town. She especially likes to cruise Clarkdale Court! Wonder why? Kathy plans to lead an easy life and on the side, be a nurse. Best wishes for your future, Bear! GREG EAST Greg is one of the seniors who believes in the saying, speak softly and carry a big stick. Greg doesn't say much, but everyone knows when he's around. Catfish’s pride is his '72 Camaro and his joy is his Honda motorcycle. Greg's most famous moment is when he broke his arm while playing basketball, and froze to the ground while waiting for help. Good Luck, Catfish!

Even though she’s one of the top students of her class she doesn’t want to further her education any- more. Maybe it's because she's engaged to Dave??? We all want to wish them both lots of happiness in their fu- ture years!!! JENNE FROST Jenne is another talented girl of the '76 Senior class.

We're all excited about it, but, it's still pretty hard to believe because it seems like just a few years ago we were all just getting to know one another. There's really been alot of crazy stuff that's happened during our school years too, like the C. B. craze and the mood rings fad! It was pretty hard to distinguish be- tween all the boys whJhad long hair and the.girls with real short haircuts but our class seemed to tell each ot r apai$ pretty well! T5ybe it was because of all the nicknames we gave one another -|ome of those were hjjarious! Yes - they are terrific and special memories and as this school year of '76 ends, and our graduation draws nearer, we'll all have a very warm and special felling of closeness for one another and we'll think of those memories. As we look at the photographs of this yearbook, we'll realize we're not the kids we were yesterday - scuffing and playmg - but we're the new adults of today and there's a big world just waiting for us to join. «Everyone of us has different plans for our futures, some are preparing for college sotme for work, ,and a few are getting married. Whatever your plans nay be, we all wish you the best of good fortune and happiness and don't forget our reunion sq we can share those merpories’we made when we were all kids!!! 45 MS.

Chapel Programs Eddyville inmates came to our school to give the student body an op- portunity to see and hear about the re- sults of leading a life of alcohol, drugs, and crime. If you had been there that day you would have to agree that it was a very impressive program.

Many mem- bers quit, others graduated and band di- rectors resigned. This year Jeff Clarke came to DSHS from Murray State Univer- sity, as the new Music Director. Before everyone knew it, the band was marching at parades, winning trophies, giving con- certs and sounding really good!!! With Mr Clarke as the director the band and choir can look forward to a better and brighter future. no This year the Pep Club sold sweat- shirt jackets with Dawson Springs on them for their money making project. Pep Club members attend our basketball games. Win or lose, they always cheer and support our teams. Ill Guts and Determination Mark 75-76 Panthers When you think of basketball around this area, you automatically think of DSHS. It is not because Dawson High has won any state titles like many bigger schools but because of Spirit and Tradition. A tradition not built up because of our record over the past 30 years, even though it is excellent, but because of the players. They have shown both skill and sportsmanship everytime they played. The players are no different this year 1975-76 VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM 1ST ROW LEFT: Robin Putty, Tim Carlton, Neal Shipp, Chris Smiley, Charles Brent, Dan- ny Monroe. 2ND ROW LEDT: Randy Hicks, Tim Robinson, Kenny Smith, Jerry Tosh, Jeff Riley, and Jeff Calvert. even though their record is not good. There are 3 senior players on the squad that represents this feeling, Neal Shipp, Chris Smiley, and Ken Smith. No matter who they're playing they put out 110% of effort and almost always give the oppos- ing team a lot more than they bargained for. Actually because of their hustle they have a losing record. Neal Shipp while hustling after a ball fell down and tore several tendons in his leg. This loss hurt the Panthers dearly. So dearly they didn't win a game until he returned. In those 12 games the Panthers stayed close to every team but without Shipp's expert ball handling it wasn't PANTHER COACHING STAFF Head Coach - Norman Manasco. Assistant coaches - Doug Phelps and Ray Bowden. enough. Ken Smith had a very good sea- son, leading the Panthers in rebounding and scoring. Smith also lead the County scores with an average of around 20 points. The future does not look bleek for the Panthers, they have two strong boys coming up. Also several good shoot- ing guards should reach their peek in the next few years. Coach Monasco has done another excellent job this year which is not too unusal at all. We salute the Pan- thers of ”76 for their courage and deter- mination. 116 THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT FOR THE PANTHERS WITH PLAYERS LIKE ROBIN PUTTY AND JEFF RILEY!” UP-UP-AND AWAY GOES NEAL SHIPP. NEAL IS ONE OF THE BEST GUARDS IN THE COUNTY. STRONG REBOUNDING AND HEIGHT MAKES JEFF RILEY A STAR OF THE FUTURE! NEAL SHIPPS GUTTSIE PLAY WAS A MINUS FOR PANTHER OPPONENTS MANY HOURS OF PRACTICE MADE KEN SMITH THE TOP SCORER IN THE COUNTY New Era of Girls Athletics Begins at D.H. S. When you usually think of DHS sports, you think of a strong boys basketball team, well not anymore. The girls finally got their way and the Pantherettes, as they are called, were formed this year. Not since the 30’s has DHS had a girls basketball team, and in the first year of play they did all right. Running into some experienced teams, they lost their first few games, but as soon as they got over their fears, they were tough to handle! Always hustling and going after the ball became a trademark with them and 1975-76 GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM FRONT ROW, LEFT- Beth Hinton, Rhonda Boucher, Janet Hamby, Amy Butler, Kathy Hin- ton, and Gayla Baucum. BACK ROW, LEFT - Teresa Bearden, Vicki Ausenbaugh, Lisa Boucher, Tawana Riley, Sherry Nichols, Tina Bearden, Kerry McKnight, and Lisa Burk- they proved they knew how to play bas- ketball as well as the boys. One player who exemplify's this is Sherri Nichols, a 5'7 junior whose basketball ability is uncanny! In her first year of play, Sher- ri led the county in scoring with a 28. 8 average, not bad at all! Also noted for her aggresive play is Janet Hamby, a 5'5 sophomore whose strong rebounding proved an asset. Also, Lisa Boucher, Amy Butler, and Kathy Hinton were noted for ball handling ability. In all, every girl tried her best and that's all anybody could ask. For the first year of play they were great and while there are no seniors on the squad, 77” looks like a good year for girls bas- ketball. With a coach like Sheilla Adkins, They shouldn't do too bad at all. 121 GIRLS BASKETBALL IS A VERY ROUGH SPORT. THESE AREN'T REALLY GIRLS PLAYING BUT INSTEAD, BASKETBALL PLAYERS PLAYING TO WIN! 122 THERE ARE NO SENIORS ON THE SQUAD THIS YEAR AND ALL PLAYERS SHOULD BE RETURNING NEXT YEAR. 77 COULD BE A VERY INTERESTING YEAR FOR D. H.S. Since we had this good picture left over, we thought we would put it in. So here are the girls basketball team ready to get their picture made. Say cheese, EVERY- BODY!!

Their job, as usual, was to pep up spirit for the Varsity Basketball Team. Their new yells, chants and special days, such as clash day, worked just great. We salute these girls whose efforts con- tributed much to our great school! Varsity Cheerleaders TOP ON LEFT: Phyllis Furgerson, Debbie Bullock, and Rhonda Collins. BOTTOM ON LEFT: Traci Menser, Starla Sandefur, and Tana Poe. 127 Junior Varsity Pulls Double Duty With the addition of a girls' basketball team, the JV had another team to cheer for. Although both JV and the girls' got off to a slow start these girls stuck with these two teams and helped them get back on the win- ning track. DHS is proud of these girls for their continuous and great support of our teams. Fight, Team, Fight! yells Darsi Wagner, a DHS Junior Varsity Cheerleader.

Panthers Win Three Rivers Conference Championship When the 1974-1975 baseball season started everyone at DHS knew that we were go- ing to have a dynamite team. With the stern guidance of Coach Doug Phelps, the Pan- thers went on the win games. Using a balanced attack of hitting and pitching (Smith-9-0, .367; and Farar- .333, they dominated Three Rivers Teams. With most of the starters back this year; 1st base-Robinson, 2nd base-Carlton, Catcher-Summers, Outfield- Farar, Short-stop-Shipp, and Pitchers-Smith, Harryman, and Frost, the 75-76 season also looks very promising. Promising of course for DHS, but not so good for other Three River Teams!! 1974-75 PANTHER BASEBALL TEAM Way to Go Worm!

No one realizes how much planning and work go into a yearbook. Believe me, it can be ONE BIG HEADACHE. But it can also be a true joy, especially when you have a good staff to work with. This year's book isn't as big or as colorful as last year's, nor does it have as many features. We're sorry about that. But we're trying to repay last year's debt plus our own, and that has called for some heart-breaking sacrifices. But for what we lack in quantity, we've repaid it quality. We've put a lot of OUR- SELVES into this book, as you can see by our artwork and unique lay-outs. A lot of people deserve thanks for what you're holding now; Joan--for her patience and dedication--and the rest of the staff for standing behind her. They've all been great!! Thanks to Mr. Back for being so understanding with our problems--especially on picture days--to the teachers for not complaining about disruptive classes--to Mr. Humphries and Mike for beautiful pictures--and to you, the student body, for letting us capture you as you really are, the SPIRIT OF '76.
