Have Come nd Gone Our school has reached its tenth year. In ten years the parking lot has expanded and a new junior high has made DHS less crowded. Fashions and hair styles have changed. Though jeans have always been in style, gauchos and boots are the new style compared to the mini- skirts of the late 60’s. Hair styles have gone from the crew cut to the wedge and the feathered look. Each year DeKalb High School changes. New students and faculty bring fresh ideas. Ten years ago the graduation theme was “May we be part of the answer, not part of the problem.” Memories of the past ten years show DHS students were part of the answer because they were Free to Be oe ESE hs rr aa: eres.

The sun shines continuously and school seems a million miles away. That’s summer for Barons as they laze about waiting for that golden tan to develop or involve themselves in water activities and summer sports. Naturally a good many Barons work throughout summer vacation, saving money to see them through the school year or to put aside for college. Although the sun didn’t stop shin- ing, the relaxed, carefree times did. On August 24th DeKalb opened its doors for yet another year. Students returned to school with enthusiasm and great anticipation; a determina- tion to make this school year a memo- rable one. “T told you we didn’t have enough money to buy this car,” Deb Mergy seems to be telling Janeen Refner and Lori Martz. Suzy Scranage’s face can tell you that Baron- ette practice is many hours of hard work and exercise — right Suzy?! Vacation wasn’t all fun and relaxation for Mike Bassett and Shelly Sowers when they cracked the books for summer Economics. 8 School Opens School Begins! One of Kevin Bender’s first duties as Senior Class President was to welcome the incoming Sophomores and prepare them for classes. Ken Brown receives some assistance in finding his classes from Senior Lorie Schmidt at the Sophomore Orientation. As summer draws to a close, Linda Parsons finds that it’s time once again to shop for her “back to school clothes.” Having a job not only gave Pam Schrader a busy summer schedule, but it also gave her a little extra spending money. School Opens 9 Fair Fun for Everyone Put people, and lots of them, pop- corn, rides, animals, sideshows, laughter and brisk autumn weather all together and you have set the scene for the DeKalb County Fair. This year was no different to previous fairs in the fun, excitement and diver- sity it provided for a week. DeKalb students were to be seen there every night walking continuous- ly around the court square trying their luck at the games or occasional- ly losing their stomachs at the top of the many rides such as the Hurricane and Rock-O-Plane. For those more interested in dis- plays or prize winning animals, a walk through the display tents set up on South Cedar eventually led on to cat- tle, sheep, horses, etc. As usual, fair week was a great suc- cess and most of us were sad to see it end. An important part of the parade, the Marching Barons proceed with style down Main Street, receiving 2nd place for their effort. ei ri, =” Even at the fair Coach Brown can’t seem to get © Kay Warstler sings during the DeKalb County basketball out of his hands.

The Sadie Hawkins dance was re- vived this year and was sponsored by the Student Council. Choice, a very popular group among Barons, was a fitting selection for this occasion. Dressed in Dog Patch style, every- body entered into the spirit of things with great enthusiasm. The mysteri- ous Marrying Sam (later discovered to be Mr. Workman) appeared on the scene and joined many couples in a mock marriage ceremony, complete with wedding bands and licenses. The commons, energetically decorated in Sadie Hawkins style, provided a sound basis for the atmosphere. Unaware of the camera’s eye, Marty Praul and _Lorie Schmidt take advantage of an old Sadie Hawkins tradition. While Brad Benner anticipates some good rock-n-roll, Lana Blevins seems to be thinking of something (or someone!) else. Adding to the atmosphere was this reproduc- tion of an old still, created by Kelly Wyss and Dave Conrad. Sadie Hawkins 11 Barons Celebrate The start of fall brings colder tem- peratures, football, and Homecom- ing. On Friday night, October 8, the Barons achieved a 21-14 win over the Homestead Spartans to capture a Homecoming victory. During halftime the 1976-77 Homecoming queen was announced. Last year’s queen, Jan Ely Phillips, was on hand to crown her successor, Karen Schlosser. Karen’s escort was Tim Simon. Other Senior candidates were Susie Lenhard and Val Wurm. They were escorted by Kevin Bender and Lynn Duncan. The Junior class attendant was Debbie Baker with Dan Schaeffer as her escort. Jill Kuhlhorst represented the Sopho- more class with Rex Feller escorting her. A semi-formal dance was held in the commons on Saturday, October 9, to celebrate the football victory and to honor the queen and her court. The Senior class chose “Old Fa- shioned Love Song” for the theme of Homecoming 9 (6-. 0up es anced io Kelly Wyss and Jan Wertenberger await the The attractive Queen and her court are seated the music of the Paul Nerger Band. line of football players to burst through the amidst old fashioned quilts and chairs as they hoop they spent the afternoon making. reign over the dance. 12 Homecoming Homecoming Victory es Sees Stuart Wilson and his chosen lady, Kim Wal- Cheers could be heard from Baron fans as the Ener rs lace Wilson, danced like experts throughout referee declares that someone in this mass of the evening and were watched admiringly. fallen players made a touchdown. Homecoming 13 Vou've Got to Have Heart Sheer determination throughout eruelling rehearsals resulted in the excellent production of Adler and Ross’s “Damn Yankees.” ‘Heart,’ which was the theme song of the musical, was evident from the first audition through to the final per- formance. Individual performances were greatly appreciated by the captive au- dience, as were the efforts of the make-up and stage crew, band and the moving forces behind it all in the form of the directors, Mr. Markiton, Mr. Stickler, and Mr. Nagel. “Damn Yankees” tells of the trans- formation of a middle-aged Washing- ton Senators fan Joe Boyd, portrayed by Don Dickman, into the young vi- gorous player for that same baseball team played by Mark Kuechler. The executor of this change is a cynical devil, played by Dave Maier, who hopes to gain Joe’s soul as payment for this aid to the Senators. Trouble starts and continues to thicken in this delightfully funny sto- ry. But, as in all good comedies, a happy ending results when Joe re- turns to his wife leaving behind a baf- fled baseball team ... and one very angry devil. Blaine Lumpkins, the owner of the Washing- ton Se nators, signs his autograph for an eager baseball fan, Deb Dicken. Lola (Kim Conrad) turns on the charm as she tries to get a surprised Joe Hardy (Mark Kuechler) to go for a night on the town.

WASTING 14 Musical 15 Yuletide Season Brings . a personal, exciting time when you feel like you’re looking through a pair of rose colored glasses, when everything is tranquil and happy. It’s snow, and shiny noses, presents and kisses, music and church. It’s cribs and Santa Claus and children laugh- ing and vacation time. It’s Christmas. But before school broke up we em- barked on our own Christmas prep- arations. For several days students brought non-perishable food items to make the season brighter for the not so well off in our community. In all, a pleasing amount of cans was collect- ed. No Christmas would be complete without the Christmas formal. On December 18th, with the commons decorated to the theme of “Silver Rita Tilghman Laurie Williams and Santa Lorie Schmidt boxes some of the many cans Claus (Rosy Shatto) participate in an enter- collected in the successful Student Council Bells” came girls attractively arrayed taining German Christmas skit. canned food drive. in long formals accompanied by guys decked out in suave suits. It was a very successful night danc- ing to the excellent music of the J. Branum band sponsored by the Ger- man Club. Along with the music piped throughout the halls and other activi- ties, the food collection and formal provided fitting contributions to the Christmas spirit. Barb Trapp grins with delight as she becomes one of the lucky ones who received a present from the mysterious Santa Claus. 16 Christmas Fun.

Its facilities have expanded to provide a well rounded education for all Barons. But we could never have made it without our parents. Always on hand 24 hours a day, they have supported us through thick and thin — their attention and love is as evi- dent now as ever. Every sporting event the parents are represented, especially during basketball games where the Baron Boosters form a large crowd of cheer- ing fans. They yell louder than any- body else at community pep sessions determined to make the Barons num- ber 1. To show our gratitude we hosted them at several functions. Parent’s night was held to show them exactly what we were achieving academically so they can feel a closer association with the school. In football, the father of each player was honored at the last game of the season. And when the basketball team played Bellmont the parents of the players and cheer- leaders were brought before bleachers of cheering Barons. But whether publicly honored or not every Baron parent deserves and 4 has our deepest thanks. a ag ff Baron Booster members, Mr. and Mrs. Blevins, were the fastest to down their pudding in the “Great Race” at a community pep session.

Parents 21 Setting the Scene in Fashions Dressy jeans are to be found here and there while painter pants and overalls threaten to outdo those ever popular levis. Girls lengthen their minis in favour of the knee length look and often match them with boots — a common sight during the long winter. Hooded jackets were an- other winter favorite. Indeed, the fashion scene this year is one of inter- est and diversity. ABOVE: These five are just a few of the hun- dreds of students who laughingly agree that levis will never lose their popularity.

BELOW: Karen Muhn and Amy Shankle show that not only do overalls look good but they’re great to dance in too. RIGHT: Tina Franks stops on her way to class to display her neatly pressed painter pants — another favorite among Barons. 22 Fashions National Events Affect Students Although the main celebrations were held in July, the bi-cenntenial spirit was still very much in evidence when the Barons returned to school in August. That spirit carried on into 17 as the United States and many other countries waited with baited breath to see who the 39th President would be. By a narrow margin Jimmy Carter was elected and within days of his inauguration severe problems were thrust upon him enabling him to show his worth. Our country was ex- periencing its worst winter ever — crops were destroyed, schools and bu- sinesses closed down resulting in thousands unemployed. Quick pre- cise decisions had to be made to avoid these and other problems. A main consideration was to conserve our en- ergy resources which were draining fast. Carter along with pu blic help pulled us through, returning most things back to normal. RIGHT: Until they were moved, huge snow piles prevented any parking behind the school during the memorable winter of ’77. Patty Brown and Becky Sparling take time out from their paging responsibilities to pose with Representative Norman Gerig. Thousands of people crowded onto the capital lawn to watch the inauguration of the Carter- Mondale administration.

Events such as the ski trip, the talk by Nicky Cruz, the Mousehole, bike and canoe trips were all a vital part of this year as were the meetings held periodically. The meetings, held in homes of members, began with activi- ties to get everyone to relax and be themselves. An informal discussion evolves from a topic chosen before- hand. Everyone is encouraged to join in and give and take so that they may learn about themselves and others. Junior Achievement completed a very successful year with the Chal- lengers, sponsored by Cooper Indus- trial Products raking in several awards at the JAFE (Junior Achieve- ment is Free Enterprise) banquet on April 12th. Rosalynda Shatto re- ceived a $100 scholarship and Valerie Leon was inducted into the $1,000 sales club. Other companies include Reko sponsored by Rieke, who came in 5th at the annual Trade Fair, Spicers sponsored by Dana, and Warnco sponsored by Warner Gear.

JA Campus Life 25 Juniors Present “Pieces of April’ As the band played “Pieces of April” each silent, nervously smiling couple walked around the tables and over the bridge, eventually making their way back to their table. The Junior High commons was a haze of color and beauty as girls and guys laughed, talked and often danced to the music of Thrust, the talented group chosen for the Prom. Toward 12:00 as Thrust began the last strains of music, bit by bit the commons was vacated. But the Prom was not yet over. Most Barons had plans for many hours to come. The “Y”? was open for swimming, volley- ball and other games; some couples went to discos for more dancing, mid- night drives, picnics, and a few games of bowling, while many students gathered at homes, tired yet happy, watching Pieces of April turn into the The dance floor became crowded as couples Selected by other prom-goers, King and Queen ; found their special spot to dance and enjoy the George Brand and Christine Chavez reigned lst morning of May. music provided by “Thrust.” over the dance throughout the night.

Prom 27 “You Can't Take It With You”... but the audience did take something with them — the memory of a very funny show. Written by Hart Kaufman, “You Can’t Take It With You” transports you back to the late 30’s where -you meet the most extraordinary family. The Sycamores have several fascinating traits and hobbies. There’s Penny, who writes absurd plays. Grandpa’s main inter- ests are collecting snakes and attend- ing commencements. Paul makes fireworks aided by Mr. DePinna. Es- sie and her husband, Ed, and Essie’s ballet teacher Kolenkhov, a loud Rus- sian. Confusion results when Alice, the rather straight member of the family falls in love with Anthony Kirby, son of a wealthy businessman. The court- ship seems doomed to fail as the two families cannot resolve their very ob- vious differences. Yet while the Kirby’s may hold the Sycamores in great distaste, the audience loved them and despite snakes and fire- crackers, plays and ballet dancing, common sense prevails and Tony and Alice are to be married.

Spring Play 29 On Friday, May 6th, the Fine Arts Festival opened after weeks of prep- aration by the music, drama, and art departments. The band’s chicken barbeque was first on the list after which the hilarious play “You Can’t Take It With You” was presented. During intermission and at other times during the week people took the opportunity to wander through the gymnasium and examine the art displays. Jewelry, woodwork, needle- craft and paintings were just a few of the exhibitions which fascinated the visitors. Sunday afternoon the A Cap- pella and Concert choirs presented an excellent program. The festival cul- minated on Monday night in a Pops concert presented by the Band. The festival provided a vast insight into the fine arts department. The talents and creativity of many students was displayed in the gymnasium for everyone to admire. 30 Fine Arts Fine Arts Festival The Concert and Symphonic bands performed Joe Morr, Ned Donaldson, Bob Morr, and their portion of the music department’s pre- Mark Graber were a few of the people who sentation on Monday night. enjoyed the band’s chicken barbeque supper. on Features Talented Barons After working with Mr. Markiton for a year, the sophomore girls choir showed their accom- plishments on Sunday afternoon. inet eee eA Kelli Randle examines a ceramics and sculp- ture created by art students Syndy Stafford and Lori Leffler.

Plans are in full force for the summer holidays, jobs and college. Seniors are practicing for graduation, the end of the year has arrived! Even the thought of exams can’t kill the enthu- siasm. Smiles abound and Barons daydream constantly. The excite- ment reaches a peak for there is so much to do in so few days . .. then all of a sudden nothing. Everything is quiet. The year is over, another class has graduated, like so many before them and so many yet to come. 32 End Of School Nicky Cruz, an outstanding evangelist who travels all over the nation speaking, came to DeKalb to tell of his experiences. As Ann Carr does her part in the annual elec- tions, she laughingly inquires how to operate the voting machine. At the FEA breakfast sponsored by the teach- ers, Rita Tilghman carries on an enjoyable con- versation with Mr. Vick. During the Tri-Kappa Honor Banquet, Patty Brown and her parents listen intently to the guest speaker. Summer Begins! Barons have become accustomed to fire drill evacuations and wait for the OK signal before returning to class. Mr. Brown cut his cake presented to him by his homeroom in a last way of saying goodbye and good luck. Judge Stump stands before the Junior class and delivers his presentation about Law Day, in which they will participate next year. End Of School 33 Students Rewarded For Achievements On Wednesday, May 11th, the class of ’77 with several parents and guests gathered in the auditorium for the annual awards ceremony. Hands were sore after continual clapping as many students went up to receive scholarships and gifts in rec- ognition of their excellent scholastic, athletic or leadership contributions. The Top 5% of the Senior Class were also honored. They are as fol- lows: Sarah Romine Mary Beth Harvey Ann Beatty Pat Ellert Rene Hess Brenda Shannon Pat Gorsuch Dorothy Heise Sarah Foley Brenda Woodcock Kevin Bender Lorie Schmidt Jo Ann Van Straten Robin Brown Deb Dicken Jan Wertenberger Ellen Stoneking Barbara Trapp Bob Heimach Sue Lenhard Cheryl McMaken, winner of several awards, accepts the Auburn Lions Club Award from Norman Gerig. 34 Awards Day One of the Dollars for Scholars winners, Marty Praul receives his award from Mr. Collins.

Awards Day 35 Today's Goodbye Is Graduation is something every stu- dent looks forward to yet never be- jim lieves it will actually come. But on May 22nd, for 326 members of the class of ’77, it finally arrived. A huge crowd composed of parents, relatives, friends, teachers and under- classmen turned out to wish the graduates the best of luck as they gratefully accepted their diplomas. It was the culmination of years of hard work and happy times. The sun shone and smiles were abundant. Yet it was spiced with a touch of sadness as the class performed together for the last time. However there was no killing the happy spirit as Barons whistled, shouted, and congratulated each oth- er. Many celebrated long into the night and it seemed graduation day would last forever. Then all too soon it was over. Yet like the class motto says — “The moment may be tempo- rary but the memory is forever.” After officially being declared graduates, Ned Donaldson and Lorie Schmidt proudly march from the gym during the recessional. Standing together for the last time, the class of 77 sing out the words to their class song, “The Times of Your Life.” 36 Graduation Tomorrow's Hello ap i % ; : As class members entered the gym, the band expertly played the traditional processional song, “Pomp and Circumstance.

Sam Sewards seems to enjoy the fact that he’s just come up with an artistic brainstorm for his oil painting. Drawing, pottery, painting and weaving are only a few of the options open to students enrolled in art classes. General art classes are offered to students who desire a basic knowl- edge of art and its principles. For the serious students who plan to involve art in their careers, there are numer- ous specialized courses available. Talented pupils are given a chance to show their skills to the community during the Spring Fine Arts Festival. Choice art projects from all the dif- ferent classes are displayed in the gymnasium at this time. Under the supervision of capable instructors, the D.H.S. students are taught not only lessons in self-expres- sion, but also in motivation and in art appreciation. Art students strive for perfection in both clay sculpting and painting. Junior Leesa Moore demonstrates how impor- tant a steady hand is when painting on an easel.

At De- Kalb a fine program is in operation which successfully introduces stu- dents to the business world. With such courses being offered as Intensive Business Lab, Typing, Ac- counting and Business Law, students receive the proper education to tackle their everyday business needs. Those students with post-high school plans to enter into some facet of the business world find the busi- ness curriculum at DHS most suffi- cient.

New skills are introduced in these classes which haven’t been taught in others. Other favorite classes of students included in the curriculum are The- atre Arts, Journal Book, Mass Media, and Job English Training.

Students are given the task to choose between three languages offered in the curriculum: French, Spanish, and German. First year classes spend the major- ity of the time becoming acquainted with basic vocabulary and cultural principles, while advanced classes fo- cus mainly on fluent speaking, histo- ry, and writing techniques. DeKalb’s fine language program has proved to be a rewarding exper- ience for those students interested in a well-rounded education.

The two basic divisions are Foods and Clothing. Foods I and II instruct the student in selecting quality food, the prepara- tion of food, and proper serving tech- niques. Basic sewing principles are taught in clothing. The beginning sewer starts with book work and simple pro- jects, while the advanced student strives for the completion of a total outfit. Other classes available are Leisure Time Activities, Child Development, and Family Care and Relations.

Home Economics 49 Variety of Trades Learned in 1A a Industrial Arts focus on teaching students specific trades. Classes of- fered range from Woodworking, Met- als, and Home Arts to Electricity, Drafting, and Power Mechanics. Drafting is designed to introduce students to lettering, geometry of drawing, planning, and drafting. Metals class instructs the student in the four basic areas of metal work- ing: Machine Shop, Arc Welding, Sheet Metal, and Foundry. One class in particular helps the school tremendously: Shop Mainten- ance. Students who have had some experience in Industrial Arts classes gain practical experience in repairing and maintaining equipment, furni- ture, etc. throughout the school. Brian Kline’s detailed architectural project was ruined when a deteriorating ceiling aided by the weight of winter snow and rain fell upon it.

Chemistry I student, Kay Warstler, carefully steadies the books for her lab partners as they make their observations during their first ex- periment. 52 Math, Science Through the patient guidance of DHS teachers, students gain new knowledge in the fields of Science and Math. Algebra I and Geometry prove to be the basis for those enrolled in Math courses. The foundations for math are taught in these classes, while Algebra II and Math IV are the more complicated math courses for the serious math student. The combination of labs, written assignments, and lectures helps many students in the Science department. An actual lab experiment proves to be not only a challenging learning ex- perience but also fun and exciting. The opportunity to learn while us- ing a medium other than a textbook is a successful way to investigate sci- entific principles. Senior Physics students Gary Hartman and Mary Beth Harvey work speedily and accurate- ly to complete their lab assignments on time.

Class participa- tion, individual skills and knowledge of principals and rules are the basis for the grading system. Students find Phys. Ed. as a great way to get rid of that built up excess energy they always seem to have and they also find it very enjoyable espe- cially during the spring and fall when weather is warm and class is moved outdoors. This boys’ advanced Phys Ed class decided to take advantage of the warm fall weather to engage in a strenuous game of football. It looks as if Miss Taelman has joined a few of her gym class students during a time-out to catch a few rays of the sun. This sophomore girl seems to have combined During a friendly game of “shirts vs. skins,” ballet with her fast ball to create this unusual these boys demonstrate their jumping ability but successful pitching form. as teammates anxiously await the outcome.

Robin Wells knows practice makes perfect, so she spends her time in gym working out a few imperfections in her balance beam routine. a It is obvious that this student is an expert in the art of spiking a volleyball to defeat his opponents on the other side of the net. Badminton has become a favorite among soph- omore girls classes as these girls find the key to winning their doubles match is teamwork. Physical Education 55 Students Explore Man's Accomplishments Even though a few of the Social Studies courses are required like Gov- ernment, History, and Economics, students also have a chance to ex- plore new depths in the academic world. In Sociology classes, the study of mankind is the basis of the course. The individual units are taken sepa- rately and then studied in detail. Psychology has become a favorite among students. Fascinating case his- tories and class discussions help add to the popularity of the class. For the student who plans a career in education, Exploratory Teaching offers first-hand experience. Stu- dents enrolled in this class spend one hour each day for one semester in other school classrooms taking on the teaching responsibilities. Even though it would make a great Halloween costume, Bill Hathaway is actually modeling a Ku Klux Klan ontfit of the past. 56 Social Studies 5 ES BONS Junior Anne Warstler pauses momentarily as she ponders one of the many history questions that she is constantly asked to answer.

Students in Auto Mechanics are ac- quainted with the servicing, diagnosis and repair procedures of auto- mobiles. The class meets three hours each day for the full year. Building Trades is designed for those interested in a career in the building vocation. One hour per day is spent in the classroom, and two hours are spent at the actual building site. Students in Graphic Arts are taught all phases of production in the offset printing method. The class prints materials for the school system such as tickets, the school news paper and programs of all types. ICE (Interdisciplinary Cooperative Education) combines classroom study with on the job training. Class- room instruction is based on the type of work each student is involved in; and while on the job they are super- vised by their employers.

Ap- pearances at competitions, parades, and school sports activities have made them a favorite among many spectators. Perhaps the most eye-appealing part of this year’s band are the twen- ty girls, all playing members of band during classtime, who comprise the Baronettes. These dedicated girls spend two hours each week perfecting difficult but crowd pleasing routines. The Baronettes are divided into two squads: Flags and Rifles. They perform at all marching band func- tions and provide half-time enter- tainment at basketball and football games. At the head of the band are drum majors Blaine Lumpkins and Amy Williams. Under their leadership and direction by sponsor Mr. Stickler, this year’s band has become a suc- cess.

Chansonettes is a treble voice choir which consists of sophomore girls. Fundamentals in proper singing tech- niques are stressed. Concert Choir is a non-selective choir, made up of men and women in all the grades. Emphasis is on indi- vidual improvement of voices and musicianship while also studying ele- mentary theory and music reading. Girls Glee is also a treble voice choir which works daily perfecting songs for the Winter and Spring Con- certs. Piano player Becky Warstler accompanies the Chansonettes while performing in concert.

The Mighty Barons were able to secure their record at 8 wins to 2 losses by defeating several strong teams. Among these teams were the Homestead Spartans a willing team of East Noble, Central Noble, and Howe. But Concordia proved to be a little stronger than our Barons and were able to slide over the team by one point. With a defeat on their shoulders the Barons did not let this discourage them and went on to ease around Bluffton, and then to leave South Ad- ams pointless. As the Barons prepared for the next meet they found that Harding had prepared to take them over. So the Barons suffered their final defeat by a strong team of Harding.

Bluffton Defeat Caps 4-6 Season The DeKalb Barons displayed a strong defense and an improving of- fense for a 4-6 season record. It wasn’t until the third game of the season against Angola that the offensive unit scored with a 64 yard pass from Mark Lepley to Kerry Si- bery. The defensive unit held the oppo- nents to 1997 total yards, while the Baron offense managed to roll in 1673, with 1077 of them rushing. Un- happily, the opponents were outs- cored in penalty yards by 657 to 474. The final game of the season was perhaps the most exciting. With less than nine miminutes remaining, Bluffton had a two touchdown lead. After a touchdown and two- point conversion brought the Barons within striking distance, a 26 yard pass from Lepley to Brewer with 58 seconds re- maining tied the game and Stan Steb- ing kicked the one point difference. The defense then had to hit hard to contain the very determined Tigers as their time ran out. The members of the Mighty Baron team re- leases their emotions as they were able to score another touchdown against the Tigers. Sophomore Mark Graber seems to be all smiles as he looks forward to a very promising game against the Bluffton Tigers. As Doug Wesolowski blocks, Quarterback Mark Lepley manages to pass the ball over the outstretched arms of a Bluffton defender. Varsity Football 73 Reserves Witness Action The Junior Barons sprang into ac- tion with practice sessions on August 1st. They later took on the Angola Hornets on home turf. The Barons were able to hold victory over Angola. As the Barons met with East Noble, they were defeated. The Junior Bar- ons, not able to shake off the East Noble defeat, next lost to Columbia City. When the Mighty Barons met with their rival, Garrett, they found their skills evenly matched, which resulted in a tie. Barons, regaining their confi- dence, were able to leave Homestead weeping on their own turf. The Bar- ons were taken over by Carroll, but held back Harding and Eastside, end- ing the season winners.

Intramural games were held during home room on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with many games going on at once in different parts of the gym. The purpose of Intramurals was to get all students involved in some form of athletic event and provide en- joyment for all those who participat- ed.

At DHS you receive what is known as the Cross Country Team. Although the Cross Country Team didn’t have many outstanding victo- ries for the team, they did have sever- al individual victories. These individ- ual victories gave the team a record of 8 wins to 11 losses. In their first meet of the season the Barons fell to the strong team of An- gola Hornets. As the second meet ap- proached, the Barons didn’t seem ready to handle the Hamilton team, and so another meet was lost. When the Barons were faced with other teams they found they were evenly matched with one or two of the teams, while they were able to pass others by. But there were still some who were able to bring down the Mighty Barons. The strongest member of the team this year was Richard Teixeira.

Coach Steve Harp experienced great excitement along with the girls. This was his first year at coaching the Lady Barons. Coach Harp expressed the aggressiveness of a strong coach. The Lady Barons found their rival Garrett to be their first victory. Although the Lady Barons where defeated by Homestead, East Noble, and Leo, they didn’t let this get them down and they went on to bump Har- ding and Central Noble out of the way, later to use the knowledge gained and practice to defeat New Haven and Goshen. The Lady Barons won the Section- al title by defeating Hamilton, East- side, and Garrett. In Regional they were brought down by Oregon Davis.

Many hours of dedicated practice helped the Barons to achieve their goal of a sectional crown. Lakeland crushed re- gional hopes 69-61 in the afternoon game. It took overtime against Northrop in the season’s second game before the Barons found a winning combina- tion. Several other contests were close, with six games being lost by a combined total of ten points.

Players who helped make this possible were Mark Lepley — who scored an average of 10 points per game — and Denny Vian, Ty Cobbs, Hank Voelkel, Dave Peterson, and Bill Hathaway, who averaged 6 points a game. During the B-team tourney, Mark Lepley was named player of the week. He scored 16 points and 8 out of 14 from the field. Ted Ellert was also named player of the week for an out- standing 19 rebounds in two games.

What does one do when his school no longer carries his sport? In gym- nastics, if a volunteer coach can be found, one can enter various meets as an individual participant. However, much of the edge of com- petition is lost when one no longer represents his school. It takes real dedication and determination just to finish the season. The young men pic- tured on this page had just that. Five meets were entered, one as far away as Crown Point, where Grant Lutz placed third on the horse.

As the season ended, the gym- nasts found a low season of 2 wins to 7 losses. Top gymnasts on the beginning level were Bert Rinehart — who took, on the average, a second each time on the balance beam — and Tracy Hous- ton — who did an outstanding job on the unevens. Top gymnasts on the optional level were Dian Muckenfuss — who com- peted on the unevens — and Cheryl McMaken — who usually placed in all-around. In the NEIC meet held at Home- stead six Lady Barons were able to place. The six gymnasts placing were Bert Rinehart, Tracy Houston, Tina Pinnington, Pam Collins, Roxanne Payton, and Cheryl McMaken.

Girls Gymnastics 87 Wrestling Record Best in Ten Years Each year as a sport starts, their biggest goal is to be the best. This year the grapplers pushed through and accomplished this goal. Coach Russ Smith said that their 9-3 record was the best in the ten year history of DHS. Rod Graber was the leading wres- tler. He went into the N.E.I.C. Tour- ney 4-1. He was also the only team member that placed in regional. He ended his high school career with a season record of 18-2. As the Barons went into the annual meet facing East Noble, they found that they were repeating history. For the Barons in the meet were able to pass over East Noble by three points.

The mas- cot was one of the girls dressed as a Baron. There was a new kind of pep club, too, called the “Baron Boosters.” The club was organized by Coach Brown and consisted of parents and adults. The officers were chairmen Don Snyder, Ashley; Lowell Stuckey, Wa- terloo; Willis Boswell, Auburn; Theo Webb, Treasurer; and Sue Peterson, Secretary. Some of the activities in Pep Club included going to the NEIAC confer- ence and receiving the most compli- ments for their spirit. They also held a successful bake sale.

KY ray ent Konnichiwa! Studying English — this was what I wanted to do when I came over here, but I learned so much more than just this. For one Japanese, everything is different and exciting. I have so many happy and fun memories. Some of them are Powder Puff, Christmas, Birthday, Miss Valentine, Spanish Club and Pep Club. All of these things I will never forget. Sometimes Japanese people are afraid to come to another country be- cause of the language they speak, col- or of their skin and difference in the style of living. But when I return to Japan, I would like to say that people are the same and they are just won- derful. I would like to thank all the teach- ers, students and my Dad and Mom, Sockriders. Thank you very much.

Coming from an all girls catholic school to DeKalb was an experience in itself and one which I have loved. There were so many things I had nev- er encountered before. A hectic stu- dent parking lot, cornfields as far as the eye can see, American football, school clubs and snowdays!! I'll remember forever the helpful- ness of teachers and students and the kindness of everyone around me espe- cially my family The Tuckers. I’m glad A.F.S. chose me to live among and learn to love Americans.

For the first time in its ten year history, an athletic team played in state final competition after winning the sectional, regional, and semi-state. After each successive title was won, the number of Baron believers in- creased, especially after a 7-5 semi- state defeat of defending state cham- pion LaPorte. DeKalb was matched against Lo- gansport in the first game at Bush Statium in Indianapolis. The Barons lost 3-1. Logansport went on to win it all by defeating Blackford 4-2 that same evening. The Barons did not return to De- Kalb County empty handed, howev- er, as Bob Heimach was named the winner of the L.V. Phillips Award for mental attitude, a very high honor. Named to the All-State second team at first base was Gary Baugh- man. Also sometimes a designated hitter or pitcher, Gary had a batting average of .411. Baughman and pitch- er Don DeWitt were also named to play in the State All-Star game in July. The rest of the baseball story can be found on pages 98 and 99.
