Tliere were many things around to re- mind us of this time of celebration. Even around DeKalb High School you could find many reminders. The football team wore flags on their hel- mets and the basketball team wore their flags on their backs. Many bulletin boards had a pa- triotic message to bring. One day every month was designated as Red, White, and Blue Day in which everyone was supposed to wear the colors of the flag. The cafeteria workers dressed up in colonial garb and served delicacies such as a Patrick Henry Sandwich (beef), Johnny Apple- seed Chewy Square, and Vi pt. of sea foam (milk). On the morning announcements every day the Mass Media class would give a Bicen- tennial moment. These were little bits and pieces of American History from 200 years ago. Even the school buses had the Bicentennial logo on the front of them. So if you really looked, you could find Bits and Pieces of the Bicentennial throughout De- Kalb High School. Future Educators in Action salute the Bicen- tennial with a patriotic bulletin Iraard. The basketball team ' s jackets keep the spirit warm.

Summer ' s in! No more studies, no more teachers, no more homework, no more worries. School ends bringing in summer and its freedom. A time for swimming, skiing, biking, and deep golden tans. A time for sleeping late in the morning and partying late at night. A time for trips throughout the states or just a cruise around the courtsquare. But summer was more than this. For with the end of the school year came three months full not only of unending freedoms, but of new chal- lenges and responsibilities for stu- dents. Many worked hard earning money and valuable experience in summer jobs. Others attended sum- mer school, driver ' s education, sum- mer band practice, and many other worthwhile activities. Yes, even though school ' s out. Barons are still learning and experiencing life to its fullest. Left; Nancy Webb seems to enjoy the long hours of summer band practice necessary for a Marching Baron. For Carmen Hartman and Tim Heffley, summer is not a time for play but for further learning in summer school. Left Jobs are an important part of summer for many students as Barb Yoder knows work- ing at the Emporium.

Val Stackhouse and Chris Smith may be chilly, but that doesn ' t stop them from enjoying the fair evenings. Homecoming ' 75: Over the Rainbow An enthusiastic and perfection striving worker, Alison Derrow holds up a centerpiece for final examination. 10 Homecoming Homecoming ' 75, a series of long standing Baron customs and tradi- tions, was again sponsored by the Senior Class with the theme Over the Rainbow. Homecoming activities opened with a humorous pep session for the football team followed in the evening by a presentation of the Homecoming Queen candidates and their escorts during the game half time. Jan Ely won the Homecoming Queen title and was crowned by last year ' s queen, Julia Duncan. Her escort was Chris Phillips. Jan ' s court was made up of Senior attendants Lynda Wappes escorted by Chad Wappes, and Leslie Vanator escorted by Mark Smith. The Junior Class attendant was Amy Kelly escorted by Jeff Seiss. The Sophomore Class was represented by Jodi Middleton, who was escorted by Jackie Hayward. The following night the traditional semi-formal Home- coming Dance was held in the deco- rated school commons. Above: Tammy Hughes watches the dance floor, secretly wondering if Keith Freed will EVER ask her to dance. Below: Under the rainbow. Homecoming Queen Jan Ely stands with escort Chris Phillips and her court. Homecoming 11 spirit Shines Through Students ' Actions Blood, guts, and lots of muscle seem to be the determining factors in the tug-o-war between Sophs and Seniors, with the Soph- omores winnine.

Senior cords, 50 ' s day, sectional hall decorations, crazy hat day Barons revealed their school pep through spirit-raising customs passed down from previous years. However, this year the tradi- tional was sparked with new ideas such as the Baron Bouncers, Dennie Daniels ' gymnastic stunts on the bas- ketball floor, and a community p ep session held in the evening. As in the past, Baron spirit shined through students ' actions, backing the teams 100% and giving support to the Bar- on roar of Chew ' Em Up, Spit ' Em Out, Rah! Rah! Rah! 12 Spirit With triumphant blasts of music. Pep Band leads the spirit parade through the halls to ready all Baron fans for a victory. Barons Indulge in Weekends Sarah Scranage asks Greg Shipe advice on V that all-important question: Should I get a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder? ' Sophomore Jane Buchs gets down to the music of the Alice Jackman Band at the Sec- tional dance. Leslie Vanalor and Jim VVible appear surprised as they are caught in the act of planning their latest weekend caper. 14 Weekends As Cinda Schaeffer and Brad Benner will confirm, stopping for pizza and a quiet chat alone is common during dates. Five long days of hard school work — then comes the weekend. Weekend! Partytime, gametime, funtime! Week- ends were looked forward to and enjoyed by most students as a break from the school week. But just how was this break en- joyed? Barons, being unique, tended to spend their weekends in a variety of methods. Many cruised around town with refreshing stops at Mc- Donalds, a local hang-out for Barons. Others had heavy dates with a favorite person or partied long into the night hours with their friends. Of cou rse, football and basketball games provided common ground for student involvement, while some used the weekend as a time for peaceful rest, doing whatever they enjoy most. However it was spent. Barons could be found enjoying and yes, even in- dulging in their weekend break. Left: Mona Pleveich seems to be enjoying her weekend job, despite some opposition from a pesky windshield wiper. Above: Hundreds of Baron fans packed the stands during the Sectional, but these were undoubtedly some of the crazier-looking ones. Weekends 15 Colorful ' Tiri Abner ' Musical a Success Lil ' l Abncr was the production chosen for this year ' s colorful musical. Set in Dogpatch U.S.A., a tovsn which earned the title of the most unnec- essary place in the country, Al Capp ' s characters came alive. The plot, a happy mixture of hill- billy nonsense arid sharp, critical humor, opens with word being sent from Washington that Dogpatch must be evacuated because it has been se- lected as the perfect site for nuclear testing. TTie search is then on to find something necessary about Dogpatch. The answer: Mammy ' s Yokumberry Tonic! However, a sly and conniving politician steps in and complications soon begin. Stubborn Pappy Yokum is sent painfully on his way into Dogpatch with a swift kick from Mammv. Delightful characters such as Ab- ner, played by Kent Johnson; Daisy Mae, played by Julie Hartman; Mam- my and Pappy Yokum, alias Jan Ely and Steve Butler; Marryin ' Sam, otherwise known as Rex Rohm; plus many other zany hillbillies made this musical a success at DeKalb. Mr. Markiton, the musical director, felt the show was a great success and in his opinion one of the best musicals ever at DeKalb. Mr. Markiton was assisted by Mr. Nagel, DeKalb ' s Speech and Theater Arts teacher. Both men stressed that credit for the musi- cal ' s success should be reserved for the fine performance of all the actors involved. Right: In the dressing room, Jenny Lawrence and Leia Wallace contribute their skill with make-up. 16 Musical The perfect end to a perfect performance: leads Julie Hartman and Kent Johnson take a final bow. Lunch Time Not So Typical Ed Dunn seems to be making a point of Keith Freed ' s ever growing and hardy appetite. A typical lunch for any Baron is not so typical. During this thirty minute break, students could indulge themselves in exotic burritos and ly jello jewels. Or they could reveal their patriotism by eating a red, white, and blue lunch. In all, lunch for Barons was a necessary break mid- way through the day when Barons freely expressed themselves. Besides eating, Marianne Muhn spends her lunch time catching up on the latest fashion and beauty tips. Holiday Spirit Felt and Seen While Debbie Boger debates, Kelly Wyss enjoys X-Mas yummies the last day before Christmas vacation. ■A . r%. A — The holiday season finally arrived, a time looked forward to by all Barons. And with it came the joy and spirit of Christmas. This spirit flowed through DeKalb ' s halls and was apparent in the actions (and stomachs) of many in the school. Above: Dennie Daniels is about to put his approval (or disapproval) on his Christmas cooking. Mr. Fites and Mr. Skinner became Santa Claus for a day and gave popsicles to good students at lunch. Christmas Moments Were Precious and Few With all the hustle and bustle, the hurr ' and crowdedness of our fast fjaced society, we need to find time to stop a minute and enjoy life ' s magic, to marvel at its wonders. The Christmas season is one of these precious and few magical moments in our life. Christmas Formal ' 75 took on this theme, Precious and Few, at the traditional formal dance held on the eve of December 20. Amidst shimmer- ing tinsel and candlelight shadows, couples danced throughout the even- ing to the variety of music played by the band Choice. Lisa Brown, a Senior, was announced as queen for the night. She was selected by a vote of the Letterman ' s Club. Also selected to serve in her court was Chris Chavez escorted by George Brand, and Susie Lenhard escorted by Jeff Norris. Tri-Hi-Y was the sponsor. Pam Thielc and Don Leins privately enjoy a few extra moments of the holiday season together. Above: Don ' t get excited; it ' s only 7-Up that Mr. Hatton is adding to the punch — or is it?

Christmas Formal 21 JA and Campus Life Enrich Students Honon. v.cnl far at the annual JA Banquet, including awards that went to three Barons: Janise Robertson, Liz BIcvins, and Mark ThieU. At 25f an pay, as well hour and overtime i a 10% commission of everything sold, Junior Achieve- ment may not have made a student rich. But, rather, it provided much more in terms of experience in today ' s business world. Perhaps the major event during the school year that all the companies worked for was the annual JA trade fair. This year it was held at the Southtown Mall instead of the customary Glenbrook Center. One student when asked why he liked Junior Achievement replied, 1 think it will help me in my future line of work, plus it ' s interesting and something dif- ferent to do. fiipiPlipMilUil! ' 7 ' .y. Scavenger hunts, camping trips, ski trips, volleyball tournaments, re- freshments — these are all a part of Campus Life. But there is another side revolving around weekly discus- sions of issues affecting students today. Campus Life combined all this to give its members a positive view of life. Active JA members Kris Feller and Cheryl PIcvcich seem to be interested in their com- pany ' s end-of-year stock report. Campus Life meetings gave Karen Johnson and Don Dickman, as well as sponsor Mr. Black, a chance to enjoy themselves. 22 J A and Campus Life Convocations Provide Variety DeKalb ' s own Conglomeration took time out from a busy traveling schedule to give a swinging convocation on their own home ground. Former Miss America Marilyn Van Derbur gave an intense and interesting talk in Novem- ber on motivation and success. Above: Students and teammates alike appear stunned as Jeff Norris bravely competes at the gymnastics meet before th e school. Left: Pete Carlson entertained DHS students and gave them a preview of this year ' s annual Campus Life Mousehole at the fair. Convocations 23 School Play Gets Standing Ovation Long, grueling rehearsal sessions, tired and aching feet, Mr. Nagel ' s constant, constructive criticism; this is only a sample of what the cast for this year ' s school play put up with for six long weeks. But their effort was not in vain. Despite an under capacity crowd, The Matchmaker provided two shows full of entertainment, receiving a standing ovation the final night. The Matchmaker opened with a certain old merchant of Yonkers, alias Don Dickman, who is so rich he decides to take a wife. To accom- plish this he employs a matchmaker, who is portrayed by Tina Altman. The story then moves to New York City where it runs headlong into a series of hilarious hide-and-seek scenes and straight to a climax of complication. After everyone gets straightened out romantically, the merchant of Yonkers finds himself in love with the sly matchmaker herself. Other members of the cast in- cluded Blaine Lumpkins as Cornelius, Jim Schmidt as Barnaby, Sue De- Lucenay who played Irene, as well as many other sophomores, juniors, and seniors who contributed much to the success of this year ' s school play. Mr. Gerry Nagel was the direc- tor and was assisted by Wendy Con- don. The sly matchmaker and Horace Vandcrgelder, the old merchant of Yonkers, appear in one of their many lively discussions. Don Dickman dares not move a muscle as director Mr. Nagel displays his talent at the art of applying make-up. The characters of the play wine and dine, and laugh all night long at the lavish Har- monia Gardens Restaurant. No, Patty Brown was not a ghost during the school play, but it does prove make- up can do mighty strange things. A little hanky-panky falls into the life of everyone, even Ambrose and Emcrmangarde, alias Duncan Edwards and Brenda Woodcock. School Play 25 Creativity and Hard Work Pay Off With pride and honor, DcKalb s top choir, the A Cappellj Choir fulfills their traditional role during Fine Arts Week. Sally Hoyer, while working hard at setting up her Fine Arts display, appears to be moment- arily distracted from her work. ?Ti-V f The Symphonic Band, DcKalb ' s top band, creates music to fill the air and soothe the ears of listeners at their concert. Right: This art student proudly shows off a drawing and wins approval and looks of ad- miration from her family. 26 Fine Arts Week The Girls Glee Club, singing for pleasure and experience, demonstrate their musical ability at their Fine Arts Concert. To further inspire and enrich DeKalb students and outsiders, a performance of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra was held. Right: Tina Carnahan stares intensely at this hanging work of art, trying to figure out how those ropes were tied together. The annual Fine Arts Week at DHS reflects pride on the accomplishments of many in the school. The Sym- phonic and Concert Bands revealed their musical talent on Sunday after- noon. Then on Monday the Acappella Choir, Concert Choir, and the Girl ' s Glee Clubs were featured. During the week, the art show in the gym- nasium displayed individual and group displays of advanced art stu- dents. Drawing and painting, cera- mics, sculpture, and crafts were hand- somely shown off. The Auburn Com- munity Arts Council also sponsored a performance of the Michiana Bal- let Company and Fort Wayne Philhar- monic Orchestra Tuesday evening in the auditorium. Yes, fellow students, families, and the community all proudly viewed the accomplishments of these students during Fine Arts Week. But, perhaps these students themselves should be most proud. For they used their own creative touches. They worked long and hard to achieve the final effect. And they deserve all the reward. Fine Arts Week 27 Prom Breaks Old Traditions Prom queen Jjn Ely and date, Chris Phillips, pose after their coronation with Prom king Jeff Norris and date, Susie Lenhard. Midway through the evening, magician Dick Stoner entertained with his startling magic tricks and witty remarks. Don DcWitt and Boots Butler seem to be en- joying their night at the Prom as Kclli Randlc relates a humorous story. Dancing included not only traditional slow dancing, but modern jiving as Becky Bower and Slan Mefford demonstrate. 28 Prom And as the night dances on, Dick Alexander ' s Townsmen band shares the magical beat and rhythm of A Time For Us. Junior class president George Brand appears to mingle well with the crowd as his date, Chris Chavez, watches with admiration. Couples, looking forward to an evening full of pleasant lasting memories, cross the en- chanted bridge into A Time For Us. Old traditions pushed aside and new ideas boldly tried characterized the 1976 Junior-Senior Prom. The theme, A Time For Us, truly be- came a time of beginning traditions and change, a night forever to remem- ber. A change in scenery, from the high school gymnasium and last year ' s A- C-D Museum, to the DeKalb Junior High School, was perhaps the most drastic. Though a few disliked this idea, the move proved a success. With the tiered floor, the dancing area was in view of all. Reserved tables with candle centerpieces stopped the dashing to grab a good seat. Another noticeable change was tuxedos were not required, which helped many guys in the pocketbook. Magician Dick Stoner provided entertainment during the middle of the evening, followed by the choosing of Prom queen and king, again a first at DeKalb. Planned after-prom activities were bowling, candlelight snacks at McDonalds, and breakfast at the Moose. And the dawn was brought in signalling an end to this evening full of memories and new traditions. Prom 29 End of School Draws Near Though thi!i group ot st udents probably mean well, it is wondered if they will ever get any Pride Day cleaning accomplished. After winning sectional hall decorations, Sen- iors received their award. But could it be that Marilyn Teixeira dislikes ice cream?

Connie Warstler, Cinda Schaeffer, and Helen Van Straten take advantage of spring weather to study while catching summer rays. Eight months of school with its routine schedule seemed to endlessly drag on. Then came the month of May, and school just seemed to fly. This last month was full of new happenings and end-of-year events. Students could be caught staring out windows, classes moved outside, and many students took advantage of open lunch periods to get fresh air and sunshine. Banquets were feasted at, a Pride Clean-Up Day was held, and even a policeman patrolled the school to pre- vent parking lot capers. And with cap and gowns, announcements, gradua- tion practice, senior week plans — Seniors couldn ' t help but experience the common senioritis. Whatever the feelings, students looked towards the end of school with mixed emotions, and towards the summer with antici- pation. End of School 31 Individual Accomplishments Are Rewarded lop scholars, iNjncy Sloneking jnd Re Easlcv, were finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Competition. Selected from among the five finalists, Mike Lantz proudly and happily accepted the coveted Dana Corporation Scholarship.

Rex Easley voiced the class farewell as the large crowd of family and friends listened carefully. Graduation day May 23, 1976 fi- nally arrived, and with it came ap- pearances of previous years. Seniors solemnly walked through the aisles in the traditional caps and gowns, the band played the well known Pomp and Circumstance them e, friends and family anxiously peered through the crowd to catch a glimpse. And Sen- iors went through the graduation ceremony with varying emotions. Loretta Coleman gave the invoca- tion followed by Wendy Condon ' s wel- come speech. Jeff Norris portrayed the class intention and the farewell was presented by Rex Easley. Follow- ing the presentation of the long- awaited diplomas. Brent Greek con- cluded the ceremony with the bene- diction. And as the last stanza of the class song echoed: We ' ve crossed the hills Now much more ' s in our way. We ' ve laughed a laugh And lived one more day. We may never pass this way again. We ' ll take time to say goodbye.

The purpose of Student Council is for a group of students to rep- resent the student body and to see to it that their ideas are presented and considered. The 1975-76 Student Council was very successful in fulfilling their duties. They were very active in many different projects. TTiese projects in- cluded the selling of five different kinds of candy during lunch period, giving two hundred dollars to the American Field Service, giving sev- enty-five dollars to the intramural program for new equipment, and sponsoring a pie throwing contest to raise money to help complete the bikeway being built along the road to Waterloo. Also planned by the Student Coun- cil were the showing of a movie, American Graffiti, and the repeat of the field day held in the spring.

Juniors and seniors are eligible for membership in the NHS. The faculty selects members based on character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The major project of NHS was to assist with freshman orientation. Forensics members competed in 12 meets, going as far as LaPorte, IN, always finishing in the top ten. The main focus this year was on solo competition, with Becky Sparling being one of the top extemporaneous speakers in the state. Highlights of the year included attending the Ball State Invitational and hosting their own meet, won by South Side. The ins and outs of DHS can confuse a new- comer.

A combination of the former Drama Club and Thespian Societv, it is for anyone who is inter- ested in the theater. The group ' s weekly meetings dealt with such things as character develop- ment, mime, and improvisational ex- ercises. Theater Workshop was spon- sored by Mr. Gerry Nagel. Members of TW who accumulate enough points by working in the cast or crew of club or all-school produc- tions are eligible for the Thespian Society. This year 19 new members were taken into this organization. Also new this year was the Dinnei Theater, held on Feb. 7, in the new junior high commons. It presented cuttings from three Neil Simon comedies: The Good Doctor, The Sunshine Boys, and Plaza Suite. A smorgasboard dinner was served prior to the play itself. In a final scene from The Good Doctor the Narrator helps the Priest pray for mercy so the doctor won ' t touch him again.

Both groups work primarily to promote athletics at DeKalb. Sponsored this year by Coaches Jones, Moree, and McKean, the Let- termen bought a port-a-pit costing $3,000. The Lady Barons and their sponsors Coaches Dannaldson and Taelman also sold concessions to make a purposeful purchase for girls athletics.

N 47 FFA, Electronics Prepare for Future One of the most active organiza- tions at DHS is the local edition of the Future Farmers of America. The primary membership requirement is to be enrolled in vocational agriculture. Sponsored by Mr. Ed Washier, the FFA promotes various activities with the overall purpose of promoting leadership in agricultural occupations. These activities include going to the state FFA convention, a trip to Canada, and the state judging contest. Fund raising projects include seed sales in the spring and rodent poison sales year-round. The Electronics Club is also a primarily vocational interest type of club. Its only require ment is an in- terest in electronics. Under the watchful guidance of sponsor William Snavley, the group ' s major project this year was for the club members to design and build a portable amplifier. Also planned during the year for the Electronics Club were field trips to various businesses in the area.

Performing various tasks such as teacher ' s helpers, office workers, and audio- visual aides, they are awarded points for hours worked — one point for each hour during school and two for each hour after school. In the spring, awards are granted based on the points earned: Silver, over 150 points; Gold, over 300; and Trophy, over 450 points. This year, 77 students received the silver charm; 33, the gold; and 18, the trophy. This alone represents nearly 30 thousand hours of work done for the school. Receiving the trophy award this year were the following students: Sue Buckmaster, Roberta Castator, Jill Davis, Debbie Delbecq, Julie Dunn, Nancy Gfeller, Leona Kessler, Brian Kline, Sandy Lowe, Bruce Meyer Rich Miller, Karolyn Mosshammer, Teresa Newcomer, Julie Robbins, Stephanie Sims, Jill Stackhouse, Lori Tennant, and Mark Thiele.

The Pep Club sponsored the coat check to earn money for such projects as decorations put up during sectional week. The group was sponsored this year by Mrs. Nancy Diggins and Mrs. JoTouloukian. Selected this year as Baron Bouncers with the purpose of en- couraging spirit in the boys were Roger Shull, Ron Carpenter, John Watts, Dennie Daniels, Dave Krontz, and Paul Pierce. 58 Pep Club Pep Club often met in the auditorium.

O UJ Whether it is through writing or speaking, the DeKalb English classes help the students to develop their talents in these areas. English 10 teaches students the skills needed for writing and speak- ing, while composition and speech further these talents. In speech, students learn how to feel comfortable speaking in front of people. Trying different kinds of speeches gives the students a little more knowledge. Parliamentary procedure can also be learned. In composition, students are taught the different forms of writing and how to put all of these things together into a theme. Literature classes read plays by Shakespeare and other stories by various famous authors. They study the past, the present, and the future. A new course offered at DeKalb this year is J.E.T. or Job English Training and that is exactly what it is. Other electives include Journal Book, Ideas in Literature, Journalism, and Mass Media. Joe Meyer tries desperately to keep his eyes open knowing that it could be very embar- rassing if he sleeps in his English class.

English 67 Language Arouses Interests Spanish classes always enjoy foods day. Here, students pile it on as they discover the dif- ferent types of Spanish food. The Foreign Language Department at DeKalb offers three phases of language: French, Spanish, and Ger- man. The students not only learn the language itself; they learn the cus- toms, history, tradition, and cultural background of the countries. With the help of movies, tape re- cordings, games, skits, maps, and simple sentences, the students learn to speak, read, and write their pre- ferred language. The beginning course stretches the fundamentals of the language and an amount of conversation is learned. The advanced courses continue on to further details in reading compre- hension and writing ability. The faculty consists of Mr. Love, French; Mr. Vick, German; and Mrs. Farver, Spanish. With the help of these teachers, the students received the rewards of learning a language other than that of English. In French 3, Kclli Randic decides thai Dcbi Dicken knows what she is talking about, so she listens carefully to her. 68 Foreign Language Jody Kessler doesn ' t take George Brand and Bob Heimach seriously.

Trying to read a different language would be hard for most people but Beth Lieb seems to be breezing through it. Foreign Language 69 At DeKalb many students enjoy the combination of book work and lab together. The smell of cats and strange chemicals fill the science halls fre- quently as future scientists investigate the fundamentals of science. The study of organisms through microscopes, dissection of frogs, cats, and worms, the measuring of chem- icals is just part of the fun of science.

Science 71 Math and Business Challenge Students Chris Feller glances at the camera as she tries to solve her math problem. Some of the most important courses a student could take in high school lie in the mathematical field. Colleges, businesses and everyday life require much knowledge of this complicated subject. Many math courses offered at De- Kalb include business math, algebra and geometry. More challenging courses include algebra II and mathe- matics IV, which is an optional one semester or full year course. Trigo- nometry and analytical geometry are provided to meet requirments of the more advanced students. Organization is the key phrase in all business courses. Whether learning to keep a combination journal or taking dictation from Ms. Wood, stu- dents will find these courses useful in future life. These classes can lead toward excellent jobs in accounting, secretarial work, or business law. All in all it is an excellent chance to take them and a very good idea, too.

Economics and Government are a senior requirement while U.S. History is a junior requirement. A few of the electives include Psychology, So- ciology, and World History. In World History students learn the advances in civilization, while the Juniors study the present day situations and the numerous events which led to the development of our country. Government classes learn the basic principles of our system, and Eco- nomics students learn the structure of the U.S. Economics system. Psychology is the study of the human mind while Sociology students study the culture and the ways of the f)eople. The Ku KIux Klan makes its yearly ride through Mr. Jones ' History class.

Several students participated in the program known as Interdisciplinary Cooperative Education. This program gave the students at DeKalb a chance to learn by doing and earn wages and credits at the same time. The ICE students worked part of each school day for various businesses, ranging from hospitals to factories. A group of students interested in gaining teaching experiences were in the exploratory teaching class. They spent an average of six hours a week for 12 weeks observing and teaching in a classroom situation. The students gained teaching experience at Water- loo and Auburn schools. Their ex- periences included making bulletin boards, grading tests, and telling stories. The students were then evaluated by their individual teachers. Unda Timmerman finds that a good loud voice is helpful in reading this stor ' for a group of children. Peg Troycr discovers that it takes all of her concentration to put an assignment on the board.

They performed in the Winter concert and during DeKalb ' s Fine Arts Week concert. The symphonic band has a total of 78 members and they have performed at the following places: Winter con- cert, Spring concert. Fine arts Week, and the Organizational Playing con- test.

They also performed at Six Flags over Georgia Choral Festival in May. The Conglomeration performed 50 times thru the year at various high schools in Indiana. One of their performances included a trip to Houston, Texas. They won a first place rating at the State Swing Choir contest and also a first place at Madison Swing contest in Wisconsin. Conglo received a 6th place rating at the Bishop Luers Swing contest, and they also performed at Astro World Amusement Park.

DeKalb offers a lot of vocational training which includes Auto Me- chanics, Ag. Mechanics, Ag. Business, Graphic Arts, and Building Trades. Graphic Arts teaches students the concepts of design, printing, photog- raphy, layouts and typesetting. It prepares the student for a future in the graphic arts industry. They also print the Baron Shield, and tickets for various school and class projects. Auto Mechanics is a three hour class which gives the student a basic knowledge of cars that all people need to know. It also trains students in- terested in a career in mechanics. .Ag Mechanics and Ag Business are for students interested in an Ag ca- reer. The students learn about ma- chinery repairs, water and soil con- servation, livestock production, farm ground layouts, and financial training. Students interested in plumbing, electricity, building, and carpentry take a course called Building Trades. Their knowledge is broadened and skills sharpened in this class. The Vocational classes are under the supervision of Mr. Washier, Ag; Mr. Potts, Building Trades; Mr. Hodges, Graphic Arts; and Mr. Smith, Auto Mechanics. The Building Trades class works daily on this house trying to complete it during the school year. 92 Vocational Barry Owens works very hard on this machine part trying not to get his clothes dirty.

The Industrial Arts at DeKalb High School provide the students with an excellent background for their future occupations. The Industrial Arts Department offers a wide choice to interested students. Courses in drafting, wood- working, metals, and home arts offer specialized training in a number of skills. Introducing students to tools, machinery, and finished products of an industrial environment are the main objectives of the metals and woods classes. In drafting the students get a chance to design and blue print various ob- jects. The electrical classes learn the motor construction. The knowledge gained by the In- dustrial Arts students help them to take a final step towards the future. Bruce Me cr carefully looks over his drafting assignment.

Looking closely at the scoring of the first seven games, the Barons needed only to add one touchdown and extra point per game and their record would be a complete turn around and read 8-1-1. Not bad for a team with a mere 3-7 record. But let ' s look at the brighter side of the story and dwell on the latter part of the season, in which the Barons got it all together and started to move. After losing the first seven games most teams would have folded for the remaining three, but the determined Barons pushed on, walking over arch- rival Garrett, 26-16. This inspired the ' 75 gridiron to a whalloping 33-20 win over another fierce contender in East Noble. Finally, the N.E.I.A.C. meeting paired DeKalb and South Adams. Again it was the opponent who took the beating as the black and white won 21-6 in the conference play-off. The varsity had gotten back on the winning track by taking the last three games by a considerable margin. It ' s too bad the schedule had ended . . Coach Moree and Company had just begun.

The young Barons got off to a quick start by winning the first five games before falling to a tough Homestead squad. They gave their fans a look at things to come by defeating all five conference foes and out scoring them 97-38. Being out manned and sized in nearly every game, Coach Vick and Hatton molded these 23 sophomores into a potent offense and excellent team defense. With the strong performances of the ' 75 team, the Barons should prove to be tough competitors on next year ' s varsity gridiron.

Here, as usual, he is leading the pack. ■ ' ' ' 3Jri Above: Richard Teixeira strains every muscle in his body to finish with a good lime. Here, at the West Noble Invitational, he finished 6th. This past summer the ' 75 cross country team competed in periodic road races, and ran across the state, which took 6 days to complete the 153.5 mile strip from Illinois to Ohio. Many hours of hard exhausting work prepared this year ' s harriers for the upcoming season. The team started out slowly, but showed signs of im- provement with every meet. After their third encounter, the Barons went undefeated in dual meet competition. They racked up 12 straight wins and virtually ran away with the South Side Invitational. Of course the most important part of the season had begun, but when it did the Barons were ready. DeKalb was literally uncontested in the conference, taking the first four positions and winning by more than 70 points. This overwhelming victory was one of inspiration, and it sparked the harriers on to a sectional crown the following week. DeKalb, again, was superlative by placing four men in the top ten and five in the top twenty-five, which gave them a victory over defending champion Northrup, and 20 other Ft. Wayne area schools. It was DeKalb ' s first C.C. crown, and was a very rewarding one for coach Walton and his squad. The excitement of the sectional meet passed quickly as the regional meet was just around the corner, and the top sixteen teams in the north- eastern part of the state gathered again in Ft. Wayne. The Walton gang fared well, putting four in the top twenty and placing second, only to number one ranked, Elkhart Central. The victorious Baron harriers had done it again, placing in the lop four, and thus qualifying them for their third state competition. The climax of the 1975 season was the appearing of DeKalb in the 31st annual stale cross country meet held at the South Grove Gol f course in Indianapolis. The Barons had ex- perience, balance, and depth, which came from the coaching knowledge of Mr. Walton, as the final result of the event showed; DeKalb finished a dazzling fourth place, and just five points shy from the state run- ner-up position, which was taken by a powerful Richmond team. The stale championship was won by Southporl of Indianapolis.

Cross Country 103 The DeKalb varsity tennis team enjoyed one of its best seasons this year by winning 9 matches and tying the most wins ever by a Baron team. The record might have been im- proved, but the team was restricted by the small and insufficient tennis courts that had to be used in Auburn. Although, with the building of the Junior High, 10 new courts were obtained. These courts should be of great advantage to the underclass tennis players. Doug Gerig, one of the re- turning juniors, had the best singles record with 7 wins and 2 losses. He tied with Jody Kessler for the most overall victories with 16. Gerig, Kessler, Pat Gorsuch, and Mike Bas- sett, who were all juniors, had a combined record of 50-29. Coach Touloukian was pleased with this figure and will be looking forward to next year and the ' 76 season. On the other hand, he will lose three seniors which include, Phil Shuman, Greg Schlosser, and Dave Graber, all of whom will be sorely missed. Of these, Shuman had the best overall percentage of .764 wins, taking all 5 of his doubles matches and 8 of 12 singles matches.

The spikers were not only winners of the DeKalb Tourney in which they defeated East- side and a powerful New Haven team, but also won the sectional at East- side. The Barons matched up with Prairie Heights in the first contest and wound up the victories in a two games to one decision. This advanced them into the final game where they met Fremont, and won in another exciting match. The Lady Barons had done it, and thus, giving DeKalb the first volleyball sectional championship in history. The sectional win advanced the spikers to the regional competition in Goshen the following week. De- Kalb won the first contest by taking two games from Wawasee, but were unable to come up with another vic- tory against Knox, which would have put them in the championship game. Over-all, the varsity had an excellent season, and one that Coach Cape was well pleased with. The reserves ended with a 6-6 record, hitting the .500 mark, but more importantly, they gained exper- ience for next year ' s varsity squad.

That was the word most used by Head Coach Brown to describe this year ' s varsity basket- ball team. It didn ' t take long for the Barons to adjust to the new style of coaching that the new instructor of- fered, as they produced the best record by a first year coach at DeKalb. The Barons showed strengths in many areas, such as their shooting ability, where they netted over sixty percent against F.W. Northside. They also had a good pressure defense, and were constantly hustling up and down the floor. The team ended the regular sea- son with a 8-12 record, but played in three exceptionally exciting games on the sectional level. DeKalb took the first game from Prairie Heights 67-45. This put them in the Friday night game with arch-rivals Garrett. The game had everyone on the edge of their seat from the start to finish as the Barons nipped the Railroaders 59-57. This put them into the cham- pionship game against Leo where the Barons couldn ' t quite hang on as they were downed in overtime 55-54.

This is Keith Moughler ' s philosophy when participating in intramurals at DeKalb. When you think about a time to relax, to forget about school work, to release anxieties, then you might think about DeKalb ' s intramurals. About one third of the Barons enroll- ment participated in the 1975-76 program that was directed by Mr. Walton. The intramural sports pro- gram off ered a variety of activities including volleyball, basketball and table tennis. The intramural program started in the fall with volleyball and ending in the spring of the year with bas- ketball and table tennis. The various games and matches were played, for the most part, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Left: Not only is Dennie Daniels good when it comes to playing volleyball but also is good at getting some attention on the side. Below: Ellen Lohse shows perfect form when setting up her teammates for a spike in co-ed volleyball. Below: Lisa Rinehart and Penny Cusick con- verged on the ball in a game against Garrett. r ;- fl , The Lady Baron Varsily basket- ball team jumped off to a quick start by winning the first 11 games, and ending the regular season with a 17-1 record. Included in this fine record was the winning of the DeKalb Holiday Invitational Tournament. During the ' 76 season, the girls had many outstanding statistics. These included an outstanding re- bounding record in which they got 38 boards per game against 13 by their opponents. Of course, rebound- ing was not their only strength as they developed quickness, good scor- ing ability, and played a tight ag- gresive defense. These first 18 games prepared the girls for the all-important post-sea- son play. This was a new experience for DeKalb and for all the girls playing basketball in Indiana as it was the first year for the state bas- ketball tournament. On February 7th, DeKalb brought home the first sec- tional crown by defeating Angola 44-24. This overwhelming victory ad- vanced the girls to the regional where they paired up against Heritage in the afternoon contest. Tliey got by Heritage in a close game, 38-34. This put them into the final game against Bishop Dwenger. This duel went all the way to the buzzer, but the ladies just couldn ' t pull it out as they were downed 46-44. This crushed their hopes of a region- al victory, but with next year ' s out- look, they could go all the way.

Over the past three years the DeKalb Gymnastics team has sent numerous individuals to the state meet. Again this year, 4 individuals made the trip after qualifying in their specialized event. Jeff Norris qualified in the floor exercise, vaulting and the high bar, Dennie Daniels as all around and vaulting, Don Muckenfuss on parallel bars and still rings, and Terry Houston on the high bar. A team that sent 4 members of its team to the state meet must have had a good record, and they did. The gymnasts finished the season with a 10-3 record and scoring the highest single meet total in the history of DeKalb with 126 points. Two of those three losses suffered, occured at the hands of Heritage, who were later crowned the sectional champs at Wabash. Although their losses came suddenly, the gymnasts ran away with most of their meets in winning by more than 14 points in 8 out of the 10 victories. Coach Harp in his first year as an instructor put together one of the finest teams to ever exist at DeKalb High School and is a sure bet that his team will perform as well in the years to come.

The winter months came around quickly as it again was time for the start of the girls 1975-76 gymnastics season. The optional team got off to a slow start, but when it really counted the girls put it all together at the conference meet and walked off with the trophy. The girls that competed on the optional team were seniors S abine Florriech, Liz Blevins and Tina Walker. The juniors included Dian Muckenfuss and Linda Rudolph, and the lone sophomore was Debbie Baker. These Lady Barons were the nucleous of the team and ended their season with a 5-4 record. At the in- termediate level the girls finished at 3-5 while the beginning level ended at 3-7. Coach Charleswood was new to the task of coaching girls gymnastics and although the records weren ' t so spectacular, there were quite a few ex- cellent underclass performances that she was pleased with and is looking forward to next year ' s season. Left: Sabine Florreich again this year had an excellent season finishing at the sectional with a 4th as all around and 1st on beam.

The ' 7o team worked hard on the various moves and counter moves to advance them on to bigger and better things. Although the varsity statistics sized up to only a 3-8 record. Coach Smith came up with quite a few excellent grapplers. Possibly the best member of the team was Dave Krontz, who had an individual record of 18-5, but came on strong at the end of the season and made it all the way to the semi- state. This advancement was farther than any other wrestler in the history of DeKalb. Dave ' s three year record stands at 56 wins against only 14 losses. Dan Hoffelder finished his season with a 14-7 record, while Jon Sommers ended with a 12-9-1 record. For the first time in history the all-area team was picked by the local sportswriters. Dave Krontz and Dan Hoffelder were chosen as they were well deserving of the honor.

The golfers started their sea- son early as they made a long trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, dur- ing the spring break of the ' 76 year. This might have given them an edge on other golfers in the area as the season opened. The squad under the supervision of Coach Smith, gradually began to put things together and. prepared themselves for the Conference Match. When Conference time rolled around the Barons were ready as they won the title and brought home the tro- phy. In this match Scot Imus, Joe Meyer, and an opponent tied for the medalist honors for the day. The golfers went into sudden death com- petition where Scot came out on top taking individual honors in the N.E.I.A.C. match. The reserves also had a great season with a 9-2 record. Those on the jun- ior varsity not pictured below are: Chip Wagner, Bill Edgar, Andy Fox, Nancy Bates, Doug Engle, and Mark Randall.

The team ran more meets this year than previous and ended the season with a fine 12-5 win-loss figure. The season got off to a slow start, but the cindermen came on strong with a win at the Kokomo Relays. Then, only a few weeks later, the squad again came home with another victory by taking the Columbia City Relays. Although these were im- portant victories for the Barons, the Conference Meet took the cake. Sur- prisingly enough, DeKalb won only two events, but they had lots of depth and won by more than 15 points. Some of the individual accomplish- ments include two records by Jeff Kempf. He set the Cecil E. Young Field record in the high jump at 6 ' 2 3 4 and also set a new school mark with a jump of 6 ' 4 Vz . Paul Vallance was the only other record- breaker as he set the Field record with a 4:23.8 clocking in the mile run. The Sectional Track Meet was held at Ft. Wayne and DeKalb qualified two distance runners for the Regional competition. Paul Vallance finished 4th in the mile, while Mark Smith went on to take 2nd place in the two mile run. In the Regional, Mark was the only place holder as he fin- ished 5th, missing the magic number for a chance to run in the State meet by only one position.

It was a year of record-break- ing as nine records fell in the ' 76 season Lynne Lenhard broke the old hurdles mark by one second with a time of 11.1. Dorothy Heise ran her best time of 11.5 in the 100 yard dash. She also cleared 4 ' 11 in the high jump, breaking the old mark that she set in ' 75. Cherri Vorndran set a new record in the mile, running it in 6:09.4. The 880 relay team of Lisa Rinehart, Teri Storrjohann, Lori Bassett, and Lynne Lenhard ran the 2 laps in 1:51.8. The quarter mile record was set by Donna Perlich with a time of 1:07. Liz Blevins, Susie Waiters, Linda Rudolph, and Lynne Lenhard ran the 440 relay in a time of 52.1. Liz Blevins also set a record in the long jump with a leap of 16 ' 1 . The 880 medley team of Susie Wal- ters, Debbie Cook, Lisa Rinehart and Anne Warstler were clocked in 2:03 flat. Linda Rudolph was the only girl that made it out of the Sectional and did so with a 3rd place finish in the 880. The following week, Linda placed 2nd in the regional with a time of 2:26.5 which qualified her for the state finals.

Could a baseball team win thirteen games in a row without suffering a loss? You say, impossible, but that ' s what the 1976 varsity team accom- plished. Winning the first thirteen games is all the more astouding when looking at the game of baseball itself. Even on a good night, a team might lose just because of the unpredictable nature of the game. But Coach Jones had his team ready to play the game of baseball, which accounts for their quick start. It took number one ranked Blackford to stop the Baron ' s winning streak in the second game of a double-header, played here at DeKalb. The Barons upset Blackford in the first game before falling to the powerful club in the second con- test. Taking into account all that tran- spired during the first part of the season, it was not too amazing that the diamondmen were ranked, but where they were placed in the rank- ing. After splitting the double-header with Blackford, the Barons moved from the 9th position, all the way to 6th on the polls. At this point the DeKalb team was playing so well that only five teams in all the State of Indiana could claim that they were better. Other important accomplishments of the ' 76 squad include a co-champ- ionship for the N.E.I.A.C. Crown, which was shared by three other schools. Also the team traveled to Michigan, where they were winners of the Hillsdale Tourney. Bill Heimach, named to the All- State team, hit .371, stole 31 bases, walked 30 times, and scored 40 runs. Eric Hinman (10-3) tossed a sectional no-hitter against Leo. The entire pitching staff had an excellent ERA of 1.57. Power hitter Ed Dunn, with 29 RBI ' s, and teammate Dana Post each hit 4 home runs. This year ' s team was possibly the best squad ever put together at De- Kalb. They were a very determined group and hustled constantly to make the big play. This is why the 1976 varsity baseball team had so much going for them. 126 Varsity Baseball Front Row: Jody Kessler, Roger Rudolph, Lou Muzzillo, Jeff Gippic, Mark Koenig, Dana Post.

It was unfortunate that many of the reserves scheduled games were rained out. The team was unable to play more than five games this year, winning only two.

These girls finished the season with a fine 8-2 record. This is the best record in the history of any DeKalb girl ' s doubles team.

Alexia uses her lunchtime to catch up on her studying just like lots of other American students do. Maria Alexia Jaramillo, known as Alexia, was this year ' s American Field Service exchange student. Mr. and Mrs. William MacDonald were Alexia ' s host family during her stay in the United States. Alexia took an active part in school activities. She was a member of French club. Campus Life, and Spanish Club. Alexia is a loyal fan of the DeKalb Barons and shows it by backing our teams by participating in Pep Club. Alexia ' s home country is Chili, the province of Valdivia. She has adjusted well to the language and daily routine of American life. Although not truly American, her favorite foods are pizza and French fries. At the beginning of the second semester, Celina Fiuza came to DeKalb High School from Brazil. Celina is with the International Cultural Exchange Program and is only spending one semester at DeKalb. Mr. and Mrs. Winston B. Sparling of Auburn are Celina ' s host family. Celina is involved with Campus Life and her favorite food is ice cream. Celina adjusted fairly well to life in America. Here she is thinking about how to translate a book. In Advanced Girls Physical Education, Celina learned many new things. Here she is master- ing the skill of archery.

All-Sports Banner . . . initiation of new members into National Honor So ciety . . . seniors writing their wills for the school newspaper . . . Going outside for classes . . . cleaning up the school area on Pride Day . . . Saber staff working harder and longer to meet those last deadlines . seniors counting down the remaining days and making plans for senior week . . . going outside after lunch to play frisbee or just to relax in the sun . . . cramming for finals . . . Fine Arts week . lots and lots of end-of-the-year banquets . . . Awards Day . . . thinking ahead of summer school . . . spring sports awards night . term papers due . . and, of course, graduation. Many graduates that are leaving, are leaving behind friends, clubs, sports, and all the good times they ' ve had. But they will always have Bits and Pieces of the memories of DHS to keep forever. Closing 207 Acknowledgements Even though the 1976 Saber was writ- ten and edited by a student staff, there were some outside people we couldn ' t have done without. We would like to thank, Mr. James Arthur, of Josten ' s American Year- book Company, for his help and ideas, and Mr. Kelso Davis for his photog- raphy. Finally, thanks also go to the school administration and faculty for their support and cooperation.
