They dressed in black and white stripes and jumped around on the sidelines. They yelled about the bad calls and helped the cheerleaders get the crowd excited. These guys were what DHS called ‘Coffin Corner,” and did they ever do their jobs well! These guys could always be counted on to get something stirred up.

What was it called, usually at the end of the day around sixth period at 3:00 or so when the students got out of class to gath- er in the gym for a rally? This is what was called a pep session and there were some really good ones this year. At a pep session the cheerleaders cheer, the crowd helps out and some of the people put on skits such as Mr. Rogers or maybe just being an air-band, singing a song to AC DC. At any rate, the pep sessions were fun and gave us school spirit. Below is the 1981 ‘Coffin Corner.” These are the guys who are the “‘loud mouths” at the basketball games.

Heyes Stars in ‘Hello, Dolly!’ Each year the students of De- Kalb put on musical during the Fall. This year’s was the Broad- way hit “Hello, Dolly!” Andra Keyes played Mrs. Dol- ly Levi, matchmaker as some called her, because she always went around trying to get peo- ple set up. Usually it ended up in a disaster. But after all those years of matching up, she decided she wanted a husband herself. And whatever Dolly wanted, Dolly got. It seemed her target was a man named Horace Vander- gelder. Horace was a rich man of New York and that’s just what Dolly had in mind, a rich good- looking man. So she set out to get him.

They did, and they met two ladies played by Jo Ann Porter and Kathy Dunn. They were happy in the end. As for Dolly, well she wanted Horace and would settle for no less. She finally got ahold of him and never let loose. She played everything from hard-to-get to drastic measures. In the end, she was married to Horace and they lived happily ever after, so the story goes. Other cast members were Noel Outland and Andrea Rose- berry. Dereck Walton played Horace Vandergelder, and the chorus line did an excellent job. This year’s musical was a big success in our journey through the dramatic year. Here she is, Mrs. Dolly Levi talking to her dearly departed husband about who she is going to marry. “Hello, Dolly!” 21
