Together we work for unity Three communities—Ashley, Auburn, and Waterloo—marked many changes in 1968. Their schools had been separate and indepen- dent, but through a consolidation all three be- came one, used the same building, and bore the same name. Although construction of the building itself took three years, the time when students were to utilize the same facilities came quickly. It was up to underclassmen as well as seniors to forget loyalties to former schools and to start thinking of themselves as Barons. After many convincing reminders, the task was gradually accomplished. The pride the students shared when their band received a first at contest, their football team made a winning touchdown, and a DeKalb student rated well at the science fair was helpful in building unity among the students. With all the students as well as the faculty and administra- tion working together, the school became united in spirit as well as in facilities. DeKalb High School students and “the spirit of 68 came to life during the week of the sectional. Seniors Pam Andres and Bill McAlpin display their “‘spirit” to a gathered crowd of happy Baron fans. The necessity for more room, better facilities, and modern teaching techniques created the need for DeKalb High School. One of the important features of the school of which Barons are most proud is the neat exterior appearance.
