Adult Boosters Out-oF Towners There were two exchange stu- dents at DHS in 1981, one from Colombia and the other from Brazil. Claudia Navarro was from Bucaramanga, Colombia, where her father was the Presi- dent of the Rotary Club, which sponsored her visit to the United States. Her year-long stay ex- tended through the first semes- ter of 1981-82. Her favorite class was photography because her father was a photography major. She hoped to attend a college here in the United States in Wawasee for her photogra- phy interest. For the school year Lift OHS Spirit she stayed with Jill Dicken, who was in her first year back in the U.S. since her yearlong visit in Brazil. Another exchange student was Mauro Paes. He came here after the start of the second se- mester to stay for six months. He stayed with the W.A.S. Nes- sel family in Corunna. His visit was sponsored by an internation- al student exchange program called Youth for Understanding. His main interest outside of class was judo. Some other visitors to the school who happened to live around here were the adult fans including the Booster Club mem- bers. And don’t forget the par- ents who helped support the athletic program with their time and money. It was hard to over- look these adult fans at sports events because they often looked like a sea of red. They were also the ones who yelled quite loud and attended most all of the home and away games. The Booster Club got togeth- er and got a “mascot.” That’s where the Booster Rooster came from. He helped the cheerleaders and really got peo- ple rowdy. Without him, Baron fans might not have been quite so loud. The adult Baron boosters were full of cheer for the games. That’s what can be called devoted fans. (top) At a dance held after a game, Claudia and Mauro take part in the action in the DHS commons. Boosters, Exchange Students 27
