howing Baron spirit was very strong dur- ing the memorable basketball season. 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.
