And, in 1972, Fred Nallia began his teaching career at Dawson Springs High School. In the past six years we have grown - physically, mentally, and emotionally - and he was always there to guide us along. Mr. Nallia has done so much for D. H. S. On top of teaching history and government, he has sponsored the Pep Club, Beta Club, and the Senior Class. He was at every home game - selling tickets, supervising the Coke sales, and cheering the Panthers on to victory. He works year round at the school - teaching and driving the bus during the academic year, and getting the building ready for another year during the summer. Because he has done so much for the school and the class of '77, we would like to dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Fred W. Nallia. Fearless, this one's for you! 20 21 SENIORS . . ARE ON THEIR LAST GO 'ROUND. 22 GAY LA BA UCUM Gayla is always able to find some- thing funny in everything that hap- pens. She's always smiling or laughing, probably because she's a former member of that wacky girls basketball team! Best of Luck In the future, Chester!!! TERESA A USENBA UGH Teresa is the member of the class who is always around when you need her. At this time Teresa has no plans except to take a long rest from school, and after 12 years we could all use it. She has been a big con- tribution to this annual. Best of luck Teresa from the class of '77. TIM ALMON Tim Almon is a very opinionated Senior. He is number one when it comes to arguing. So far this year,between school and this annual Tim has done volunteer work at the Health Care Center, worked at Outwood, and at Kathys' shoes and Florist. He plans to fur- ther his education, majoring in theology. Good Luck,.Tim! CHRIS CARLTON Chris is well known by the Senior class by his Ears.

STAN COWAN Even though this was Stan's first year at D.H.S. he had no trouble making new friends and getting into the ol' school spirit. Stan has no plans for the future but we know what ever you do, you will do it well. Stay cool, MAN! 25 KAREN FASSOLD Karen always looks great! She works at Wat- son's and also models for Watson's Youth Fashion Council. With your great looks and personality we know you will go far - Good Luck from the Class of 77 . PAUL DAVIS Pack Rat seems to always be in a good mood. The Red Rat can make anything seem better than it is and the worst moment a little brighter. He is very easy going and every- one's friend. Best of Luck, P. R., Don't let anything get you down. DARRELL FOX Darrell Fox had some problems and troubles his senior year. He not only had the usual senior pimples and dating problems, he also wrecked his car. Oh well look on the bright side with all your bad luck things could only get better! GOOD LUCK!!! CATHY ELI Cathy is one of the few original members of the DSHS graduating class of '77. She has always gone to school here. She has been working at the Health Care Center this year. When we asked her what she might be like in 25 years she said, I'll probably be mar- ried with a couple of kids. Best of Luck, Cathy! RITA GRISHA M JACK FROST Jack is always the victim of cir- cumstantial evidence. It seems he’s always at the wrong place (West Hopkins) at the wrong time (the rest of his senior year). We still love you, even if you were forced to desert us! DEB BY GRANT It seems like only yesterday when Debby moved here from Colorado. She's always smiling and fiddling with her senior ring. She's not sure about her future. She would like to either join the Army or some other branch of the service, or go to trade school and become a laboratory or X-ray technician. Best of Luck, CINDY FRANKLIN Cindy is a very lucky girl. She was a senior candidate for homecom- ing, and is this year's DAR (Daughter of the American Revolution) recipient! She is unde- cided about her future. Whatever you pick, we're sure you'll be good at it. Good Luck, Frank! Rita is a very well-liked senior. Being active in clubs has given her a popular role as well. Her future includes a fiance, Joe Keller, among other investments, and we're all sure she'll make the best of it. Good Luck, Rita! 27 RANDY HICKS Randy is one of the few senior band members. He is another senior who always has something to say about everything. However, Randy is still easy going and never really gets upset about anything. Best of luck in the future, Randy. KELLY JENNINGS Kelly joined the class of '77 mid- term this year. When you think of Kelly, you think of The Liberta- rian.” She got more than an educa- tion during high school. She and Jeff were maried last year. Best of luck Kelly and Jeff! DANNY JONES Danny likes all kinds of sports - baseball, deer hunting and GIRL hunt- ing . Danny is quiet most of the time, but when you get him started on an interesting subject, you can't stop him. We wish you the best of luck and . . . Happy Hunt- ing, Danny!! 1 BARRY HO LEM AN Barry is one of those people who keeps quiet, and stays to himself, yet you always know he’s around. Working at C'Star Market, he has had job experience, and is sure to be a success whenever he tackles life. Best of Luck!!! 28 29 TRACI MENSER Traci has been a Panther cheer- leader for the past six years and really shows her school spirit. She was voted Miss DHS this year and has been a class officer several times. She's always singing and wouldn't mind singing for a career. Best of Luck, Mater, from the Class of '77!!! DEBBIE MORRIS Debbie is always smil- ing, and why not? She has almost finished beauty school, and is engaged to be married to her constant companion, Randy Pool. We’ll always remember those wild ghost stories she used to tell. She hopes to own her own beauty shop some day. BENNETTE MOUSER Bennette is a very popular senior. Always in a good mood, never down or depressed, she sometimes cheers up your day as well. The senior class wishes her the best of luck, along with the wish that she makes the most of her life! y-j. 4 v; LIBBY MORRIS Libby not only graduated from high school this year, she also exchanged a boyfriend for a hus- band. How lucky can a girl get??? Lots of Luck in the future from the Class of'77H 30 DON OLD HA M Don is one of those few seniors who have been with this class all the way through. Staning with kinder- garten in '64 to the class of '77, Don has played an important role in the class. Don is the most mechani- cal minded of the class, and is pres- ently employed at Aiken's Exxon, Best of Luck!! KIM PARROTT Kim is a new student at DSHS, and, as a result, went through the hard trials every new student goes through. Now, as a result of these trials, she is a well-established member of the class of '77 and holds down a job at the Place. Best of Luck, Kim!! f SHERRI NICHOLS Sherri is the other Superstar of the Senior class. She not only plays basketball but she finds time to be that crazy girl we all know and love. Somewhere in the near future we are going to be hearing wedding bells. Best of Luck, Sherri. KIM PERRIN Kim is one of the most talented girls in our sen- ior class. She has done most of the art work for our class when we spon- sored any activities. She plans to either keep working at The Place or go back to Vocational School and become an architect, and with her talent we know she'll have little trouble, if any. Good Luck! CHRISTY PLEASANT Christy is certainly one of the most popular sen- ior girls. Never one to sit idly by, she has her hand in every activity. Elected Homecoming Queen for '76-’77, she has concluded her school years with a flourish. Working at the Coffee Shop, she meets all kinds of people. Best of Luck, Bush! TIM ROBINSON Tim has crowded two of life’s mile- stones in to a single year. Not only Is he graduating from high school in '77, but he also took Susan Orten as his bride. The class of '77 is sure, with Tim’s luck, that he’ll make the best of it. Good Luck, Robo and Susan! “WALLY” SALYERS Wally was a new senior at DSHS this year, and was certainly a big addition to the senior class. He fit into the routine of DSHS very well, and soon became one of the job-holding members as he works at a local filling station. The class of '77 wishes you the Best of Luck! 32 SCOTT SHELTON Scott - who else do you know who can be so crazy one minute and entirely serious die next? But that's the charm of this rascal. He's also the only guy we know who can pro- crastinate 'til the last minute, yet still come through with flying col- ors! Always on the go in that big Cutlass - you can look up and find him anywhere. We wish you the best of luck for the future, Scott!! MELISSA SIMONS Melissa is one of the more pleasing sights at the senior class. She is very popular with every- one, and was last year's Homecoming Queen. Now she is a varsity cheerleader and one of DSHS Panthers' most avid fans. The class wishes you the best of luck to follow. JEFF SUMMERS Jeff is a prototype of the senior class in '77. Fun-loving, crazy, but always ready to stand up for the right. Big-UN, as he is affec- tionately called, is a very popular member of the class, and is bound to be a successful one as well. Best of Luck, Jeff! MIKE STORMS Mike is one of the sen- ion who likes being a senior. Having the expe- rience of 12 years of schooling, he is able to cope well with any prob- lem which might arise. Working at Storm's anti- ques, he has had room for many to arise. Best of Luck, Mike from the class of '77. 33 34 TERRI YOUNG Terri is a mid-term graduate of DSHS, although her spirit lingers on. She is known for her decorating ability, and for her good looks. Undecided about her life, she is a sure bet to be successful in whatever she does. Best of Luck, Terri! THOMAS Tim is another of the mechanical minded members. As a result, he is able to get more out of a motor than most people, as proven by his abil- ity to drag race. Tim also helps his Oad read water meters, and there- fore is into the numbers” racket. Best of Luck, Tom!! JON WINFREY Jon is our President, he's always there coming up with new ideals and solving problems. Jon knows exactly what he is supposed to do only somehow he never gets around to doing it. Jon has no plans for his future after graduation, but whatever it is we know he will succeed, because that's the way Jon is, Best of Luck from the class of '77. JOEY MILLER Joey is a free spirited member of the class. Nothing is too far-out for him and because of that, he is one of the craziest seniors ever. Working at Family Drugs driving the delivery truck, he is always on the road. Best of Luck, Joe. IN MEMOR Y OF A LLISON BARBER Allison’s death was a tragic loss for many reasons: She had a vitality and love for life that few young people her age pos- sess . She was a member of one of the most unusual classes at DSHS, and a vital addition to the fun-loving and care-free group. She'll be missed by many of us, but she will never be far away as long as we have this record of her. Above: One of the last school pictures that Allison had made. Right: During one of her skits for a class at DSHS. Below: Caught in a casual moment, with that familiar smile. Here are just a few of the comments that her fellow class- mates had to say about her: 1 remember Allison’s smile best of all. It seems like a bad dream now, but I'll never forget her.” Easy-going, always smiling, real nice chick to be around. Allison was really a terrific person. She was a happy-go- lucky girl . . . ready to listen if you had a problem. 35 MR. AND MISS CITIZENSHIP This year's seniors have always believed in doing everything dif- ferent, and this year is no excep- tion. We had a tie for Mr. Citi- zenship, so we just included both boys in the picture. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ARE: Tim Carlton, Sherri Nichols, and Ion Winfrey. Below you see our school leaders in their more casual moments. 36 MR. A ND MISS DSHS CLASSES . . .

It takes a lot of hustle and hard work, not to mention dedication, to do a good job. The Panthers do just that every day. Sometimes the results aren't always visible to the fans, however, and the team suffers each time that they're not backed by their support- ers. This year just wasn't our year for tremendous victory, but victory, imponant as it is, isn't the whole game. Willpower and determination and good sportsmanship are also the essentials of a good game. And in this department, boys, you are definitely NUMBER ONE!

Like the boys, the girls weren't destined to have a winning team this year, but we can sure see improvement with every game, and we know how much they have improved since last year. With the spunk and drive these young girls have, we're expecting to see some tremendous things from them in the coming years.

PANT About mid-November, the student body noticed something new about the Panther ball team: their gold T-shirts with a new slogan printed in purple: W + w = V. When asked what it meant, they replied, Work plus Willpower equals Victory. Well, it wasn't really a season of victory, but it certainly was a season of tremendous work and willpower on the part of our boys. The junior high boys are to be commended for their season. With the kind of spirit and determination and success they displayed this year, we are in store for some really terrific years ahead in the sports field. 2� . ________________________________________________________________________________________ BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Rhonda Collins, Traci Menser, Melissa Simons, Kim Goodwin.

As I watched it being stamped, all of my joys and thrills of being a yearbook editor passed before me. The joys of watching Pam, Mitzi, and Carla tum out the classes secion in a single week (it usually takes at least three), of seeing Nancy everywhere with her camera, of watching Kerry get every business in the proper ad, and of understanding that the hurry-up' demands of Mrs. Bailey were meant for the good of the book, gave way to only one other thrill. That was the trill of actually having control of this crazy, fun-loving, and utterly astounding group of people. I felt pride in each of the layouts they had approved, and felt the sorrow of each one rejected. It was all one big happy family, and I was lucky enough to be asked to head it. Now I ask you to look ahead. The staff which produced this book, except for Nancy, Teresa, Tim, and myself, will be back on the scene next year. The experience they have gained this year will show in next year’s book, different layout designs, ads, and people. The class of '77 will be gone, but the Panther tradition will remain. The pride of the school is shown in the pride of the staff, and that pride demands the best of every single individual. This book is part of that pride, and we can only hope that it transfers that feeling to the town itself. So, in conclusion, I say that this book is not my yearbook, nor the staff's, nor the school's, but yours. Respect it, and honor it, and maybe even love it as we do.
