These people were part of the chorus in “Hello, Dolly!” Here they sing about their friend, Dolly Levi. 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. Chris Wagner and Mike Wolf worked for Horace and they One of the most important parts of a musical is the pit band. Mr. Kantz makes sure everyone comes in on cue. wanted to leave Bonkers. 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

All smiles after just getting married a the Sadie Hawkins Dance are John Kei zenberger and Debbie Wyss. Enjoying the music of Spectrum as they dance the night away are Lana Sny- der and Mary Dilley. Dances Bring Romances °n’ Gettin’ Crazy There were also other dances Dances were an important part of students’ lives. Everyone looked forward to getting down and getting crazy! In October, there was the Sa- die Hawkins Dance. Or as some people called it, the guys’ night out, because the girls asked the guys and, of course, the girls had to pay for the evening. Everyone got dressed up in their overalls, flannel shirts, and straw hats. And to top everyth- ing off and make it real fun, some people even had a corn cob pipe. When students went to Sadie Hawkins, almost anything could happen. Some wound up getting married at the hitching booth by an old back hills preacher who performed the marriage to the tee by giving the couple a mar- riage license and the girl, of course, got a ring. This was all performed in the commons. For that special night to remember, Ken Mills was there to take pic- tures of each couple. held for DHS students such as the Valentines Day Dance and victory dances after football and basketball games. Spectrum played a big part in these dances because they played for all of the victory dances, and, of course, Sadie Hawkins. Almost all of the kids who went to the games took time out to dance instead of going home or driving around the town. After the basketball team won the sectional, the students got to skip second hour on Monday for a dance to celebrate the victory. The dance was held in the gym and refreshments were served in the commons. The dance lasted for the entire second hour and the students and faculty enjoyed it. The dances of DHS were of very great importance to all, and the students wanted to make the nights ones they would never forget as their journey contin- ued.

Mindy Tom Harmon is really serious while try- ing to talk Terry Hammon into marrying him at the Hitchin’ Booth. 22 Sadie Hawkins
