Through the academ- ics, vocational and fine art classes we all learn that high school plays a large part in what our future shall turn out to be. The special events such as Home- coming, King and Queen, Fair Queen, Sadie Hawkins, Valentines Dance, and the Christmas Formal each helped to add a little more to what our destiny would be. The basketball season was a special attraction when the team fin- ished their regular season undefeated, won the sectional, and continued to the regional final game. Understanding people in our daily lives is important. By having disputes with both teachers and students we all learn to understand one another better. Through all of these ways DHS DOES SHAPE OUR DESTINY. SHAPING THEIR DESTINY ... are Dave LeRoy, Patt Nessel and Laurie Mitchener as they talk to the representative from the University of Evansville.

In the Student Life of the 1979 Barons, there are many activities to take part in or be a part of, like getting a part in the play “The Phantom Tollbooth,” or going to the Sadie Hawkins Dance, dressing up for Valentine’s Day, and of course there is always the Jun- ior-Senior Prom. Getting to know the foreign exchange stu- dents helps them understand our country and us understand their country better, too. All these things and many more help SHAPE OUR DESTINY. | ——Ere Student Life 5 Summer Driffs Aw ay 26 was the magic day for students. It meant three months of freedom from books, teachers, studying and everything that you associate with school. Some chose to stick with the books and take Government or Economics during the summer so they could take more classes in the fall. About 250 stu- dents took Drivers Education, mostly incom- ing Sophomores. Students enrolled in band had to give up some of their freedom to prac- tice marching. Probably just about everyone had a sum- mer job lined up to keep them busy for three months. Or maybe it was going to be three months of goofing around and enjoying their summer freedom. After summer came to a quick halt, excit- ing Auburn-Cord-Dusenburg days arrived. It started with the annual Parade of the Classics on Saturday morning. Right after the parade they start right in with the auctioning off of the cars. Some of the cars are famous around the world. And it all happens right here at DeKalb High School. WHILE WORKING AT the Auburn Community Pool, Mike Littlejohn seems to enjoy the summer sun that he is getting. CLEANING HIS CAR is one of the summer jobs that Eric Deardorf seems to enjoy. Or does he?

It is the De- Kalb County Free Fall Fair. For the Juniors of DeKalb High it was sell- ing tickets to a trip to just about anywhere in the world, so they could raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom. For Scott Wellman — a Jun- ior at DeKalb — it was winning the trip that the Juniors raffled off. For Anita Walters and Rhonda Healey it was a chance to show their talents on the Miss DeKalb County Fair Contest. For the Marching Bar- ons of DeKalb it was marching in the parades during the week and also winning first in their class and Grand Sweepstakes on Saturday in the Grand Finale Parade.

Seniors Bef A Grip Un t was a cold blustery day on October 6, and once again it was the Annual rivalry be- tween the Juniors and the Seniors. After much practice and hard work from both the teams, the seniors pulled through with a 14-6 victory over the juniors. Scoring for the Seniors were Tina Pinning- ton, Julie Heimach, and Junior Joan McCar- thy. Joan McCarthy also made the only touchdown for the Juniors. Later that evening Julie Rinehart was crowned Homecoming Queen at the Home- stead game. She was escorted by Dave Peter- son. Her Senior attendants were Steph Dear- dorf escorted by Hank Voelkel and Jill Kuhl- horst escorted by Ron Shoudel. The Junior attendant was Rhonda Healey and her escort was Brad Blevins. The Sophomore attendant was Gina Harrold escorted by Jeff Meyer. After the game there was an informal dance where Spectrum provided the music.

Students came to school one day dressed like a friend for twin day and the winners were Sherry Leroy and Glenda Smith. On October 31, Halloween, students dressed up like ghosts, witches, and just about anything that you can think of. On Mickey Mouse day, in honor of Mickey’s fiftieth birthday most students had Mickey Mouse ears and T shirts, but one student Virgil Smith came to school dressed in the entire Mickey Mouse outfit. On the day that the DeKalb football team traveled to Garrett the students had a Grease Day DHS to help spark off the Baron Victory at night. The Student Council and the Cheerleaders help to think of these special days so that the students’ spirit will be sparked up for that evening at the game. ON OCTOBER 31, the student council spon- sored a Halloween day. Junior Marla Hayward takes part in the special day.

It is the story of Milo (Bruce Edwards) a boy who doesn’t know what to do with himself. So he is sent a tollbooth from an anonymous person. He travels in a little car to different lands. The first land that he comes to is the land of Expectations where he meets the Whether Man (Karl Glass). He then comes to the Doldrums where the Lethargarians live. He meets King Azaz (Rick Cook), who is the King of Dictionopolis, and The Market Place where he meets Spelling Bee (Laura Knurek). After he has traveled through all the lands he returns home and soon finds many things to do with himself. The play was a great success in all its performances, both to the adult audiences who sew it in the evening and to the ele- mentary students from surrounding schools who saw it during the school day.

On December 16 the German Club once again sponsored the annual Christmas For- mal for all the students at DeKalb. It was held at the Auburn Cord Dusenburg Muse- um. The theme was “An Old Fashioned Christmas” and the music was provided by the band Phedora. The King and Queen of the Christmas Formal were Ted Ellert and Lana Blevins. The Student Council sponsored a canned food drive during the Christmas season. They held a competition between the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. The Sophomores won. All the canned foods collected were given to needy families around the DeKalb County area. On December 22, at the home game against Carroll, Santa Claus came and hand- ed out gifts to some DeKalb fans.

Christmas Season 17 ectional week at DeKalb is usual- ly a pretty busy week for the stu- dents and with the team being 22-0 it was even busier. On Monday it was T-shirt day and students came to school with T-shirts of all kinds. Tuesday was declared Red, White, and Black day and was finished up with a pep session where the Class of 1980 was announced the winner of the Sectional Hall contest. Wednesday students came dressed in some pretty weird outfits for Clash Day. On Thursday, Farmers Day, students wore overalls, flannel shirts and some even drove their tractors to school. Friday ended the week with hat day and another pep session where the cheerleaders boosted the spirit of the Baron stu- dents and team to a well deserved sectional victory.

Students, teachers, parents and just about anyone with Baron interest helped to cheer the Barons on to a sectional victory. Baron- mania, the “theme” of this year, was shown in many ways. Bumper stickers, buttons large, and small, signs and painted windows were just a few signs of community spirit. Accompanying the Barons to South Ad- ams and Huntington North were many boost- ers on chartered buses. Each game there were about 9 or 10 buses. Tootie Witmer helped to organize and sponsor the buses. If the Barons were playing on their court, they could treat their fans to free hamburgers, fries, and drinks if the opponent was held under a cer- tain amount of points. They were 55 for burg- ers and drinks and 45 for fries, too. There were many fans that attended the dinner at the end of the season. The Baron team signed autographs and enjoyed the many fans that attended the dinner held in the gym in recognition of the mighty Barons. SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS FOR the many fans the DeKalb basketball team is very proud of their 26- I season. 20 Community spirit Grow DIRECTOR OF THE fan buses, Baron booster Tootie Witmer anxiously awaits another sale to one of the many fans riding to the South Adams game.

From Brazil, he stayed with C.B. Hathaway’s family. Valdimar Petursson came from Iceland and stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Dan Scranage and their family. The W.A. Nessel family also took part in the exchange student idea in January when Marilda Nakane came from Brazil to graduate with the class of 1979. Coming from Australia, Craig Leicester was here for only a few short months with his family. He participated on the varsity tennis team and left shortly after the season ended.

Some go to the YMCA in Auburn dur- ing the week at night. At the “Y” you can use the gym to play basketball, vol- leyball, or you can go to the weight room to build up your muscles. Or you can just go there for a good swim, which is just about the best exercise that you can do. Some Barons found that going to the Auburn swimming pool for a re- freshing swim during the summer is also enjoyable. Also during the warm months of the year you can go to var- ious city parks for an exciting game of tennis, softball, or touch football. Whether it is riding a bike, running a mile, playing miniature golf, or... , the sports that Barons enjoy away from school are as numerous and varied as the students themselves. $+ PRE RR ROHR MO gm GOOF aR TRYING TO MAKE a clean break of the pool balls David Gorrell practices up on his pool at the Campus Life meeting at Rob Moreland’s house.

Junior Achievement is sponsored by four companies in DeKalb Co.: Warner Gear, Rieke, Cooper and Dana. Each company pro- vides advisors and money to get them started. This year there were many products made. Warner Gear’s company made Handy Tow- els and personalized matches. Rieke made coat hangers and key chains. Cooper made fire extinguishers and Dana made pop can lights. On Thursday night if you don’t have any- thing to do, you can attend a Campus Life meeting. Campus Life is a non-profit organi- zation that provides many exciting hours of entertainment for students.

There were Mr. and Miss Valentine’s chosen at school that day. After winning the section- al crown on Saturday night, on Monday the students got freed from their second and third hour classes to go to the gym and enjoy Spectrum’s music and lights for a victory dance.

Each department helped to show their tal- ents sometime during the big week- end. In the gym were the fine arts displays of many art students. The students in beginning art classes had general displays while the students in more advanced art classes like ce- ramics, sculpture, c rafts, drawing and painting, and jewelry had their own individual displays. For the music department’s half, they performed on Sunday afternoon for their family and friends. The bands opened with songs like ‘““Queen City March,” “Superman,” and “Coventry.” The choirs finished with their songs, “Praise the Lord Who See nscale Reigns Above,” “Rise Up My ; Love,” and “Sing to the Lord a New Song.” PERFORMING FOR THEIR parents and SETTING UP FOR the upcoming Fine Arts dis- friends during the Fine Arts Festivity, the A cap- _ play, Dawn Stutzman carefully hangs up one of pella Choir watches for Mr. Markiton’s next cue. her many projects.

In| order to earn money, the Drawing and Painting classes worked for the first time in the concession stands at a home football game. Commercial Art was of- fered for the first time this year and many students took advantage of this course and sought a possible career. With the directions of Mrs. Van- Horne, Miss Bevington, and Mrs. Na- gel, many students were able to express their individual talents in many admira- ble projects.

Classes such as Woods I and II, Electricity, Metals I and II, Shop Maintenance and Drafting pro- vide students with this needed exper- ience. In the Drafting classes, students learn lettering, geometry of drawing and planning. In the Woods, Electricity and Metals courses, students work on completing one major project and sev- eral minor ones. This year three Metals students, Laura Stonebraker, Kerry Howe and Steve Casselman won prizes in an area foundry contest. The Shop Maintenance class assists the school in the upkeep of all areas of the school. They repair chairs and desks and also maintain equipment through- out the school. The Industrial Arts programs teach students the skills they will need if they plan a future in these areas.

The Home Economic students work in various areas of cooking and sewing in order to learn the ideals of home-making. The Home Ec courses include Foods I and II, Clothing I and II, Leisure Time Activities, Child De- velopment and Family Care and Rela- tions. In the Foods I and II classes, students are allowed to go from simple foods to foreign dishes, cake decoration, can- ning and jelly making. In Clothing I, students study from the text book and are required to sew one garment with sleeves, and in Clothing II, tailoring, lingerie and swimwear are discussed. Much more lab work is completed. In Family Care and Relations, home nursing, personality and dating are dis- cussed. The main project of this class is planning a wedding. Leisure Time Ac- tivities are taught to show students what they can do with their spare time. Crafts such as embroidery, flower mak- ing, quilting and candle making are done following demonstrations. Child Development follows the devel- opment of a child from Kindergarten down to the Prenatal stage. Students complete such activities as making toys and sewing a simple garment for a child.

The Vo- cational and ICE courses help to pre- pare students for a career in construc- tion, agriculture, conservation, graphic arts or for a better idea of what a job is really like. In The Building Trades class, stu- dents spend one hour in the classroom and two hours on the actual building site. The house will be sold as soon as all of the work is complete. The Conservation and Horticulture classes teach students how the world of nature affects our world and how to work with plants. Finally the ICE program involves many senior students who attend school for a half a day and go to a part time job for the remainder of the day. Mr. Zook is in charge of the ICE program and the jobs are arranged through him. At least once a week, these students have an early breakfast and often meet during homeroom. This year they held their year end banquet at Chaucer’s Inn in Fort Wayne. 46 Vocational Vocational Experience Ls Gained. % 4 i PE ESTERS $ passes hi LAL IS ip iinet a hts BEFORE BEGINNING HIS project for Graph- THIS FALL, MEMBERS of the Agriculture IN HIS AGRICULTURAL MECHANICS ic Arts, junior Bill Edsall carefully examines the classes participated in a Plow Day.

In Biology, students study the anato- my of simple animals such as frogs and starfish and then advance to an intense study of the cat in Human Anatomy. In the Chemistry and Physics classes, students work in the areas of micro- scopic molecules and atoms. Microbi- ology classes study bacteria and work with antibodies throughout most of the year. Aviation students learn the basics of flying an airplane and get to fly an actual plane. Earth Science classes study atmo- spheric conditions and the physical make-up of the Earth. Most students take advantage of the extensive Science program offered.

In the Math and business Departments, students may choose from a large variety of courses such as Accounting, Typing I, Vocational Typing, Gen- eral Recordkeeping, Business Law, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry and Math V. Also included in these are Intensive Business Lab classes. These courses help students to prepare to en- ter a career in the business world. Those who take the Intensive Business Lab receive actual experience through on the job training. For the last two hours of each day students may go to a business and do secretarial work in order to gain experience or by doing secretarial work for a teacher in the school, such as typing or copying. Students who enroll in the Math Department are offered a wide variety of courses from which to choose. Once a student has taken the more basic courses such as Algebra I or Geometry, he can take Trig or Analyt. or Math V (Calculus). All the Math and Business courses help stu- dents to prepare for the future. By taking these courses, students can better prepare for a career they plan to pursue in the business world.

The Social Studies department at one time or another involves every student as it includes required courses such as United States History, Economics, and Government. As Juniors, students are required to take one full year of U.S. History, which involves an intense study of our nation’s development throughout the past two hundred years. As Seniors, each student is required to take one semester of both Economics and Govyern- ment. In Government, students study the ba- sic ideas which provide the standards of how this country is run. Economics classes study how various business organizations and sys- tems affect the economy of our nation. Sever- al major projects are required for this course. Other Social Studies courses include Soci- ology, which is the study of a group of people in their environment, Psychology, which teaches students the reasons for and observes different areas of behavior. Finally, included in this area is a new course called Contemporary Affairs. This class used news magazines for text and re- volved around current events.

This year the Marching Barons pre- pared for the ACD festival parade and the Auburn Free Fall Fair parades. Throughout the fair, the Barons spent many hours marching through the streets of Auburn, entertaining the crowds of people who came from all over the area. The band also braved the cold weath- er and provided the half time entertain- ment at the home football games. In addition to this, the bands also spent many hours preparing for the Winter, Spring, Christmas and the Fine Arts programs for the community.

All of these things make up the Pep Band and the Baronettes. Each of these groups spend long hours of practice perfecting their routines and memorizing their pieces. This year there were twenty members in the Baronettes: five seniors, six ju- niors and nine sophomores. This group, divided up into flags and rifles, could usually be found in front of the band, leading the marching: Barons through the parade. They entered contests throughout the midwest and earned many fine awards for the band. These girls practiced three hours a week in order to prepare for the half time shows of each home basketball game. The Pep Band provided spirit making music at the home basketball games and often allowed the Pep Club to use their music in their routines.

The Sophomore choir consists of boys and girls in the tenth grade. This non-selective choir performs at least two times a year. The Concert Choir is a non-selective choir of juniors and seniors. The main emphasis is placed on individual im- provement of each student’s voice. The Treble Voice choir is a selective choir of sophomore and junior girls who perform several times throughout the year.

Two losses came in close scores against teams that went on to state playoffs — Goshen and Home- stead. Fullback Mark Graber was named to the first team in the conference and area and honorable mention in the state. He gained 704 yards rushing for a 5.3 average. Total offensive leader was tailback Denny Vian who was named to the All-Area first team. Vian gained a total of 871 yards — 782 of them rush- ing — for 5.0 average. Lepley’s favorite passing target was swingback Terry Joseph, who hauled in 29 passes for 459 yards, scoring six touchdowns. Joseph’s 40 points placed him ninth in NEJAC scoring.

They lost a few games in the last seconds of play. Their defense was strong all the way through the season and in 5 of their games they held their opponents to 14 points and under. The defense was led with fine play by linebackers Mike Butler and Mark Roy. Mike always seemed to be where the ball was and stopped many third down and short situations. Mark was the team’s leading tackler and had a couple of play-breaking interceptions. The offense had some slow games when it came to putting points on the board. The offense had good depth in every position. Barry Davis was the leading rusher with his quick moves outside and inside. He piled up 109 yards against Eastside with and 8.4 yards per carry. Steve Brook and Butler swithed off at fullback with their pow- erhouse running up the middle. The offensive line with Kirk Robin- ett, Jimmy Shipe and several other players switching off was the key to the running game. Quarterback Brent Ba- con had many fine receivers to throw to. BARRY DAVIS TAKES a hard blow while trying to gain yardage. Alan Winebrenner was the main target with 4 touchdowns and many catches per game. Dave Vian was another main receiver. Coach David and Coach Lightfoot taught the young Barons many new things that will help them in the future. The Reserve volleyballers suffered many losses this year also. They gained much needed experience and by the end of the season, even though they had a slow start, they had improved much. There were many promising players and a fine coach who taught them many needed fundamentals. Reserves — Volleyball, Football 73 AS FAR AS Lana Blevins is concerned, spiking is the name of the game.

Fundamentals seemed to be the basic problem for the Lady Barons. A 3-13 season doesn’t sound very impressive, but to anyone who has ever watched the Lady volleyballers in action, scores aren't everything. Many tough and close matches were played against some of the toughest teams in northeastern Indiana. Led by co-captains Tina Pinnington and Linda Auld, the team gave 100% of their en- thusiasm and skills to the game. Strong defense was the main advan- tage. The all-important bump off the serve sets the attack plan for the Bar- ons. Setters Steph Deardorf, Pam Hart- man and Lisa Fites were irreplaceable to the spikers, for without good sets, there can be no good, effective spikes. Reviewing the past season, one Sen- ior player was quoted saying, “It’s not whether you win or loose; it’s how you play the game.” Varsity Volleyball 75 TESTING HIS SKILL against runners from across the state, Jim Hoffman strives to pass two harriers from Muncie Central. Coach Niles Walton had a disap- pointing season with only three wins and only three returning seniors to lead the pack. Tom Moore, a first-year cross country runner, was welcome help to the Barons while Mike Barkman held his place as number one runner. Barkman outran the entire field of Norwell, Elmhurst, and Bishop Luers to post his season’s best time of 12:41. Barkman also came in thirteenth in the West Noble Invitational. DeKalb placed fifth in the All-Con- ference meet with Barkman placing third and Moore placing fifth. The Bar- ons placed thirteenth in the sectional with Barkman placing twelfth. Ending the season with a three and seventeen record, the Baron harriers gained much confidence and exper- ience. 76 Cross Country CROSS COUNTRY 3-17 Opponent DeKalb Eastside 28 Hamilton Angola Northrop East Noble Snider Southside Huntington Angola Lakeland Garrett Wayne Bellmont New Haven Columbia City Homestead Garrett Elmhurst Luers Norwell SOPHOMORE TOM MOORE finds Ft.

Cross Country 77 DeKalb netters began their season with much confidence, enthusiasm, and experience. Coached by Miss Paul, who was beginning her second year of coaching, the DeKalb tennis team was anticipating a winning season. Starting the season off for the netters were Rich Gallagher and Jeff Parker alternating in the number one and two singles spots. Bob VanHorn teamed up with John Dilley for number one dou- bles. VanHorn was restricted to doubles because of knee problems. Ken Bache- lor played number two singles while John Haggarty and Lin Robertson paired up for number two doubles. Netters placed fourth in the Third Annual DeKalb Invitational held in August. Their biggest win came in their meet against Lakeland with a five and zero win. The Barons placed third in the NEIAC tourney with John Dilley and Ken Bachelor winning the deciding match.

Boys Tennis 79 WHAT BETTER BIRTHDAY present could Ted Ellert give himself than having a part in § moving the record to 20-0 while also helping to assure the Barons of a tie for the conference crown. The Barons defeated South Adams 74-60. “Cardiac Kids” best describes the 1978-79 basketball team. After giving the fans seven games in which they won by one point and thirteen that they won by four points or less, along with three overtimes, the Barons went on to set a 26-1 season record. They responded well to all types of pressure, which they proved over and over again during their overtimes and close games. Denny Vian’s great speed along with Ellert’s rebounding ability came in very handy during their exciting close calls. Ellert pulled in a record 24 rebounds against Huntington. Ice Man Butch Brown and Pure Shooter Dave Hathaway, both juniors, proved them- selves valuable and worthy of the varsi- ty title throughout the year. Hank Voelkel showed great passing ability while Brad Blevins played super defense. Todd Habig did a good job of taking charge of the offense while Rex Feller and Jeff Meyer specialized in making key plays coming off the bench. Kevin Meyer, Mark Stackhouse and Mike Benner gained valuable exper- ience. Ranked 9th in the final state poll, the Baron’s strongest point seemed to be their great teamwork, with 506 assists in 27 games. They also seemed to have a strong emotional outlook. Coach Leix led the team and was a man that they could look up to during the season as well as all year long. The team ended the regular season undefeated. = 3 ma | (ae — = — — — = ES: ee cA aS, i: cw Northrop VARSITY BASKETBALL 26-1 DeKalb 51 New Haven 69 Garrett Norwell 63 63 East Noble 66 South Side 69 Angola Carroll Eastside Leo OT Bluffton Snider 60 81 93 69 aS 62 Homestead 64 Goshen OT 66 South Adams 74 Columbia City 55 Bellmont 71 Huntington OT 76 NEIC TOURNEY New Haven 59 Columbia City 60 Angola Garrett Eastside Leo Angola 80 Varsity Basketball Westview Harding 51 33 SECTIONAL 62 70 58 REGIONAL 68 70 Opponent 50 65 54 50 63 54 59 57 52 68 74 54 63 62 60 43 63 7S CONTRIBUTING TO THE 63 points scored against Norwell is junior Butch Brown.

Chartered buses were rented, store windows proclaimed nothing but VICTORY and McDon- ald’s became a very busy place after the Barons held many teams to 45 and 55 points. When sectional came around they set the record at 25 and 0. While defeating Eastside in their sectional opener with a score of 62-34, Dave Hathaway estab- lished a new school record by scoring 19 straight free throws. They were now ready for the Leo Lions. They ended the game with a 70-57 victory. DeKalb Barons went on to win their sixth sec- tional crown Saturday night after de- feating Angola for the third time this season with a score of 58-54. It was now on to Regional for the determined Barons. They played their first game of the day opposing the Westview Warriors and defeating them 68-60. After a fast five hours of sleep and an injured Todd Habig, the Barons returned to the Coliseum to take on the Harding Hawks. Despite their 70-49 loss, the Barons and their devoted fans left happily knowing that they had ac- complished something that no other team from DeKalb had ever done: a new record of 26 and 1.

A second place in the sectional tour- nament was highlighted by wins by Stan Coleman, Willie Baughman, Graber, and Zimmer. Bill Zimmer then went on to place second at regional and fourth at semi-state. Graber was the team’s only first place winner on the way to a fifth place finish in the conference meet. Leading the varsity wrestlers with 20 wins, 16 of them resulting from pins, was Bill Zimmer. Bill’s fastest pin came in 37 seconds. But two of his teammates were even quicker.

Although the varsity golf team got off to a good start by winning its first four meets, a combination of setbacks developed into a mid-season slump. They unsuccessfully defended the con- ference championship by placing third with a score of 337. The two most outstanding perfor- mances by individuals were both by ju- niors. Steve Souder’s 33 was the team’s best nine-hole score while Tim Curry’s outstanding 18 hole score of 76 led the team in that category. The team’s best nine hole score was 155 recorded against Columbia City and the best eighteen hole score of 322 came against Northrop.

Although the team got no farther than the first game of the regional, it did compile some very impressive stat- istics along the way. The Barons were undefeated in con- ference play, winners of their own Bar- on Classic, and victorious in the sec- tional by a total margin of 34 to 3. The season seemed off to a good start with a 6-3 win over Hicksville, Ohio, but that game was later forfeited be- cause of an ineligible player. However, the Barons went on to lose only one more regular season game — to Elm- hurst, played under less than favorable conditions at Auburn’s JC field. The Barons were undefeated in the next 23 games, with the opposition never scor- ing more than three runs. The team, meanwhile, set a new scoring record for the season by crossing the plate a total of 238 times. The hitting power of the Barons was evident as a new school record of 27 homeruns was hit, with Ty Cobbs lead- ing the team with 8, another new school record. Cobbs also broke the old record for doubles with 17 for the season. Ter- ry Joseph, meanwhile, tied a record Pitchers, Hiffers Have Spectacular Year with his six triples. Another record Cobbs put in the books was his 41 RBI’s, highest ever for a Baron. The Barons hit 92 extra base hits, while their opponents had just 98 total hits. The team batting average was .317 with the four leaders being Ty Cobbs (.463), Mike Hasselman .(.436), Terry Joseph (.404), and Dave Peterson (.381). Eagle eye Mark Shultz struck out only 3 times during 94 official times at bat. The pitching stats are equally im- pressive. The combined staff had an ERA of 1.62, with 317 strike outs and 111 walks in 200 innings, while allowing only 98 hits. The two pitching leaders were Brad Blevins with a 1.33 ERA and a 10-1 record and Ty Cobbs’ 11-0 re- cord with a 1.31 ERA. This gave Cobbs a tie of two previous season records of most wins and best winning percentage. Cobbs also set a new school record for the most career wins with a total of 35. IN EARLY SEASON action against Angola, Mark Shultz’s slide into home plate beats the tag for another Baron run.

Spanish Club is led by President Lana Blevins, Vice President Lisa Fee, Secretary Susan Gengnagel, and Trea- surer Susan Chrisman. Spanish Club grew enormously in size in 1978-79 and is now composed of 91 members. Paper drives, sponsoring the foreign language banquet, field trip to Fort Wayne to see a Flamenco dancer, and even a guest speaker from Mexico, kept Spanish Club busy throughout the school year. French Club is made up of 16 mem- bers. Officers include Laurie Pontoni President, Deb Webb Vice President, Laura Smith Secretary, and Chris Wagner Treasurer.

Letterwinners is for all athletes who have earned a varsity letter. President Brad Blevins, Vice President Hank Voelkel, Secretary Julie Rinehart, and Treasurer Bob Brown contributed their efforts to make Letterwinners a great success. The money they raised also went to the new video rover and to a new ampli- fier to be used at track meets and base- ball games. Letterwinners earned their money by selling concessions at home basketball games. Their sponsor is Dick McKean, the athletic director at DHS. 118 FCA, Letterwinners HOLDING ONTO HIS nose, sponsor of FCA Coach Jim Leix tries to come up with an appro- priate way to spend the money the club has raised.

The two groups that utilize it every day and work hard to perfect the Baron Shield and the Saber, are the newspaper and yearbook staffs. The Baron Shield is published once a month featuring club news, sports, and the popular “Rowdy Rumors.” The stu- dent interest in the Shield has grown considerably, and should continue to grow in the coming years. The sponsor of newspaper is Mrs. Thomas. The Saber staff consists of hard working individuals.

Captains of the group were Senior Cindy Smith and Junior Lisa Workman. Bat girls collect season tickets at home games, chase foul balls, sweep bases, stack bats, hand out programs to the fans, and give the players all the extra support they need.

The Barons had a lot of sup- port during their undefeated season. Coffin Corner, the Booster Club and of course Pep Club were behind the team one-hundred per- cent. The Pep Club had many activities to help them raise money and get things ready for the year. The club which is headed by President Steph Deardorf, Vice President Rolene Romero, Secretary Amy Tennant, and Treasurer Susan Gengnagel organized the selling of pop corn and shakers. The club met every Wednesday to learn chants, cheers, flash card routines and to get everything ready for the following games. Coffin Corner is made up of the male part of the student body, which is led by the cheer- leaders’ bases. They helped the students get involved in one of their favorite cheers of Whos He?” The Booster Club is made up of the adult fans. They enjoy yelling-the cheers as much as the kids do. Some of their favorites are “Go Big Red,” “Give Me a B,” and “Two Bits.” Every club has contributed to the great success of the Barons and will be proud to do it again and again in future years.

The girls were especially busy this year. They supported their team by painting signs, making up pep sessions, baking cakes, paint- ing the up-town windows, making signs for the players’ yards, decorating the locker rooms, and they made the big sectional deco- rations that hang in the gym. The varsity and reserve cheerleaders prac- ticed every Tuesday and Thursday after s chool. The varsity cheerleaders used bases with which they could build big mounts and learn partner stunts so they could use them in their line up. The Reserve cheerleaders also worked with the bases to gain some useful varsity exper- ience. Together the girls combined their efforts to produce a very fun and successful cheerlead- ing season.

There are five areas of Student Service. They include teacher secretary, guidance helper, office worker, audio visual and library assistants. Each Student Service helper earns a point for every hour of Stu- dent Service work. When students earn 170 points, they receive a sil- ver award.

They help to decide what the school body wants in the line of extracurricular activities. Their decisions come from individuals speaking to them along with discussions between them and the entire student council. One of their first activities was the “Day of the 50’s.” Most of the girls dressed up in their poodle skirts, bobby socks, and saddle shoes, while the boys wore their hair slicked back. Another event they played a part in was “Mickey Mouse Day.” Everyone got their Mickey Mouse ears out of the bot- tom of their closets and any other type of clothing which resembled Mickey Mouse. The largest event that they have a part in is sectional week. They form a committee with other juniors and come up with a fabulous idea for their own hall’s decorations.

A couple of students wore a complete Mickey Mouse outfit. The only thing was that when they went to lunch they had to take their head off in order to eat. Among the display of Mickey Mouse were t-shirts with his picture on them, sweatshirts from Disney- land, Mickey Mouse ears of bright pink, black and green, bases, also Mickey Mouse teddy bears. It wasn’t just the juniors that participated but also the sophomores and seniors. In fact, the winner of the best dressed Mickey Mouse was a senior by the name of Virgil Smith. He actually wore a paper macheted head of Mickey Mouse with red knickers and a black bodysuit and leotards. You could hardly tell the difference between him and the Mickey Mouse we all see on television. This entire day could not have been possible without the 50th anniversary of Mickey Mouse being this year. MICKEY MOUSE DAY was an exciting day for most students. Karen Scott even wore her cos- tume while eating her lunch.

He got Stub started playing hockey at the age of five. When he reached the age of eight he got on his first traveling team. Then when Stub was ten years old he played for Pee Wee and Bantam. A couple of Stub’s achievements are win- ning the Turkey Tourney in Michigan and being on nine league champion teams in ten years. But to Stub his biggest achievement was going to the National tournament. In order to have all of these achievements, Stub keeps a very full schedule. Between doing homework and going to practices for both teams, he doesn’t seem to have much extra time. Barons Bright Future on RRB wore eo 8 eeaappspmpraee fs Be, ie ping score.

Some of them are very inclined toward art, while others are interested more in studies like history or math. Our art students enjoy the many phases in development of their skills. From draw- ing through painting and on to sculpture the student finds a boundless array of projects to attempt. If history is your bag, give our instructors a chance at taking you back in time. Who knows what king or queen may be found lurking in a dusty history book. Throughout the year many juniors have gotten a new grasp on some of the more difficult math functions. What has been learned in these classes may be used to divide a recipe in half, or maybe to send a spaceship to Mars. There are many other areas open to the students, each tailored to the personality and abiltiy of the student. EVEN THOUGH history isn’t always the most exciting subject, Bob Stanley and Tim Dyer feel that group discussions add a lot of “pizaz.” Juniors Lane Yarian Bruce Young Teri Zerns Kent Ziebell John Zimmer Beth Zonker Dawn Stutzman Charles Summers Cathy Tester Barry Tilghman Paul Trapp Val Vanator John VanStraten Amy Walker Brian Walker Cara Wallace Beth Walters Donna Wappes Russ Warner Jill Warren Cheri Warstler Debbie Webb Pat Webb Michelle Weilbaker Scott Wellman Todd Wellman Michele Wilbur Terry Wilhelm Dan Williams Lisa Workman Rose Wunderlin Leslie Wurm NOT PICTURED Mike Christlieb Larry Park Steve Parrish Lyle Timmerman Juniors 159 Susan Adams Kris Alday James Anderson Larry Auld Brent Bacon Deb Bacon Tammy Baird Karen Baldwin Rick Bartell Clay Bassett Laura Bauman Pat Baxter Dawn Baysinger Tammy Becker Jeff Bell Kim Berryhill Bill Bishop John Bishop Greg Bohler Dolly Booth Joe Borer Doug Bowman Linda Brace Linda Brady Jack Brand Vonde Lee Brandeberry Denise Brandenburg Tim Brandon Denda Brogan Steve Brook Bob Brown Chet Brown David Brown Dawn Brown 160 Sophomores The Class uf IDI: The first day that the Class of 81 walked in the front doors you could see the thrill and enthusiasm on their faces. They rushed toward the tables to pick up their schedules. Once their schedules were in hand their next move was to find their lockers. After taking care of all the “nitty gritty” they were ready to start their classes. Through disecting worms and frogs in biology they were able to observe living organisms. In order to help them with college they entered the different levels of math. For future use, in perhaps a trip, they furthered their knowledge of foreign language. This class of 81 combined academic courses and extra curricular activities in just the right amount for each individual. The number of students who went out for tennis, basketball, baseball, football, cross coun- try, track, gymnastics, and volleyball along with FFA, FHA, Pep Club, German Club, Spanish Club, French Club, were tremendous. These are just a few of the many ways that you could see the spirit and enthusiasm in the Class of ’81.

There are two types of people represented on this day. The one group is the goody goodys who attended the high school sock hops and proms. They wore their hair in crew cuts, saddle shoes for their feet, and letter sweaters for the boys, or circular felt skirts with poodles on them, ponytails, and sweater sets. (Their favorite was pink angora.) These students worked on the annual and got good grades while the rest were hoods. They dressed in metal-studded leather jackets, tight t-shirts, black leather wristbands, with a greased DA as their hairstyle. Their girls dressed differently such as: tight straight skirts and very low cut black flats, sported tight sweaters, long dangly earrings and a tiny scarf tied around their neck and pulled to one side. Instead of ponytails they usually had their hair in pin curls. Cherry Eddingfield Trina Edsall Sue Elliott Julie Ells Arthur Evans James Evans EXPRESSIONS OF the 50’s were displayed by many students.

They had many feet patterns that were above the lockers that may have been some of the steps that the players used in capturing their sectional win. Along with the fancy footwork came Rex’s rage, Ted’s tips, Dave’s dips, Hank’s hustle, Todd’s twirl, Butch’s bum- pin’, Denny’s dunkin’, Brad’s boogie and Jeff's jive. Along with the many hanging banners was a banner on the floor which expressed their feeling. It said “Victory land.” All the many records that hung from the ceiling also gave it a feeling of disco. Among the records were such songs as “We are the Champions”, and “I’m gonna rock you.” With the fancy footprints, banners and records all combined the sophomores produced a hall that was a great incentive for the Barons as they went on to win sectional. STYLE IS ONE quality that the sopho- more hall was judged on. Glenda Smith, Deb Bacon, and Rae Ann Troxell seem to admire their added piece of style.

He started when he was eight by swimming on the Auburn Swim Club’s team. Two years after he started, at age ten, he advanced to Club Olympia. In order to be an expert swim- mer, as Eric, there is a tremendous amount of practice needed. He swims fifteen miles a week along with some warm up exercises. Through all of Eric’s practice he has been able to get the Indiana Citizen’s Record for 200 yards, breast stroke, and the 1978 State Champion in overall. All of these records were for the thirteen and fourteen year olds. Besides holding these records he also is a member of two record holding relay teams. All of Eric’s ability and talent is well appreciated by his coach, Stephan Hunyadfi. The achievements that Eric has reached so far are great, but one of his remaining goals is to earn and receive a swimming scholarship for college.

The sophomores compete against the juniors in tug-of-war during pep sessions. They also compete against both the juniors and seniors for hall decorations during sectional week. This past year the juniors won the hall decorations. Other competition that is held between classes is “Battle Cry.” Also, the juniors compete against the seniors in powder puff football. This past year the seniors won over the juniors. Competition in high school is not only between classes but also between clubs. At the foreign language banquet the French club competed against both the Spanish and German clubs. Even though there was no prize awarded, there was still a great deal of competition. The competition that is within the school is great, but unity is also an important factor. During the time of intramurals the sophomores, juniors, and seniors group together to play against one another. This competition helps to promote the spirit of the school.

Rekeweg, Jason Outland, Bill Chrisman, and Keith Showalter, many decisions have been made. Even though Mrs. McNabb is the only woman on the board, it does not mean that she doesn’t join in. She is sure to state her opinion, attend pep sessions, and visit class- rooms. She is the type of person to get very interested in outside activities, such as when she took part in the Su- perstars. Since it was for a good cause, she was more than happy to help out. When she came to the pep session be- fore the regional, Mrs. McNabb yelled for all three classes in “Battle Cry.” When she visited the classrooms, she spoke to several students to find out just what they were doing. As was said, CHEERS OF EXCITEMENT were heard Nancy McNabb is the only woman on from Nancy McNabb as she watched Miss : the board but is by no means the least � , Bevington being pushed in the wheel barrel by Clive = Mr. Emmett. ms Mr. Charles Bassett: Alge- Miss Mable Bevington: General Al Black: Psychology, Ad- Steve Bowman: English 10, Marilyn Brandt: Individual bra I, Business Math.

Participation is a large part of a fac- ulty member’s responsibility. They par- ticipate in both coaching and playing the sport for fund raising. For instance the WMEE basketball game, where the faculty challenged the WMEE disc jockies in order to raise money for the student council. Another activity that they, as a whole, participated in was the “Superstars.” Here they raised money for a scholarship that was given away at the Awards program in May. Besides working as a whole they also help indi- vidually. For instance, publications and many club sponsors spend countless ex- tra hours on those activities. Sports are another section that wouldn’t be possi- ble without the coaching of our coaches. They each take time other than their 8:00 to 4:00 working hours to help the student body. So the great deal of participation that the faculty do is appreciated by all. JUMP! JUMP HIGH! Tip it to a Baron!

The DeKalb Educators Association had a “Superstars” show in the Fall and raised about one thousand dollars for scholarships. The show con- sisted of six different types of games. All of the schools had a team of teachers. For instance, DJHS, DHS, East Auburn, McIntosh, McKenney- Harrison, Ashley and Fairfield, and Waterloo competed against one an- other. They also competed against a group of high school students. As in most cases, the students showed-up the faculty of all the schools. Many of our own faculty participat- ed, including Mrs. Thomas, Mr. Stick- ler, Mrs. Stomm, Mr. Murdock, Mrs. Smith, Miss Eisenhut, Mr. Wilder, Miss Taelman, Dr. Perry, and Mr. Fites.

That was that the bus drivers now have to go through thirty-two hours of classes. The bus drivers that already drove before January did not have to go through the classes, although some bus drivers did go to some of the movies and films. Besides having their training, they also have an annual meeting. At this meet- ing they also see movies on safety and have lectures. Mr. Rahe is the head of transporta- tion for the DeKalb Central school dis- trict. Much of his time is spent out on the roads. During the snow and ice it is Mr. Rahe who risks the weather and takes a drive in order to see if it is suitable for the buses. THE BUS DRIVERS annual meeting consists of both movies and lectures on the safety required by both the drivers and the students on the bus. 176 Faculty H { 4 STUDENT TEACHERS Betty Hancock and Mary Sheets, both graduates of Angola High School, got practical experience at DHS in the spring.

School Ends Als Summer Begins As the last half of school comes to an end we look back on the year’s events. They were basketball and baseball win- ning season, and graduation day. For seniors graduation means no more homework or final exams, and saying goodbye to friends along with saying keep-in-touch. When they walk down that aisle on graduation day many are thinking, ““Am I happy or sad I am leaving?” The sophomores and juniors begin to wonder what their following year is going to be like as they walk down the empty senior hall. The sophomores and juniors’ days end almost like they began, but instead of receiving books they are now turning them in. While turning their books in, they start to dream of all the exciting things that they have done in the past year. All of these events and feelings is what the student remembers ten years and after that final day of graduation. Through this past year, DHS HAS SHAPED OUR DESTINY. DHS SHAPES OUR DESTINY as Rob More- land practices his division, boy’s extemporaneous, for the speech team sectional. DHS SHAPES OUR DESTINY as the many Baron fans wait in the long line before school for their regional basketball tickets.

French Club with their bologna commereial. DHS SHAPES OUR DESTINY as base- ball pitcher Brad Blevins gets ready to throw the ball and strikeout the New Haven play- er.
