Sectional Spirit Show Baron fans are usually full of spirit, but this spirit is probably most evident during boys’ basketball sectional. Even the some- times indifferent person can be heard voicing the chant ‘‘Go Big Red”’ during those days of Hoosier Hysteria. Sectional spirit brought many fans to DHS and both the students and adult fans tried to cheer the Barons to a victory. One Baron Booster came from a bit far- ther away than most. Odette de la Fuente was our 1982 exchange student. She lived with Laura Guiff outside of Corunna. In her native Mexico, Odette went to an all-girl school where they wear a uniform consisting of a skirt and vest. When she came here; Odette knew no English. But her family and friends helped her to learn. In Mexico she has one sister and two brothers but here she had three sisters. THERE ARE MANY boosters in and outside of school, but during the sectional, DHS students show their pride by building a pyramid full of spirit. EXCHANGE STUDENT Odette de la Fuente doesn't seem camera shy as she looks away from her foods project for our photographer. Fn non lend | s THE SOPHOMORE CLASS also helped with mak- ing and posting sectional signs. Tonya Baker doesn't |» see it as a chore. It’s just good fun! Sectional Spirit ¢ 25
