As Tina Freed looks on, Kim Randinelli presents the trophy from the Bluffton street fair. 2° Opening When August 30 rolled around, it was time to start another year of school, For some, it was that exciting and slightly scary first day in a new building as DeKalb Bar- ons. And for others it was a final first day, the first of many school-related things they’d be doing for the last time. Football season was already underway and the band had been practicing its marching to prepare for the parades and half-time shows it would perform. Class assignments were adjusted and we all struggled with the clocks and bells which never seemed to work right. Not eveeiag was y Pee Nor all ie teams won the sectional. Some even had losing seasons. A few Barons found them- selves in in-school suspension, and a few food fights broke out in the commons dur- ing the noon hour. An occasional “smoke- out” caused some of us to be grounded until our grades came up. And a lack of snow days had everyone — including teachers — feeling the mid-winter blues. Through it all, however, there was an underlying feeling of Baron Pride in our accomplishments and a feeling that when it’s all said and done — NOBODY DOES IT BETTER. Nobody Did It Better. At a ceremony held on Tuesday, No- vember 9, the bonds for the building of DHS were burned, signifying that the $3.5 million debt for the building was paid in full — five years ahead of time. Taking part were present and former school officials and holding company members: William Mertz, Dale Rakestraw, Tilson King, Norm Rohm (hidden), Jim Littlejohn, Don Mefford, Richard Fink, Doug Fites, Mike Haggarty, and Dr. James Watson. Opening 3 CONTENTS: Nobody did it better than cross country or girls’ basketball. At right, some of 1982's cross coun- try ribbons, medals, and trophies are displayed.

It started off with an afternoon free of classes and a fun-filled game of powder puff football. The junior girls de- feated the senior girls in an exciting game of flag football. The score was 12-2. It was the first time ever that the juniors won. The weather for the evening football game was a real disappointment. It was a very chilly night with drizzling rain, but Baron fans still showed up to share their spirit. During half-time Missy Blevins was crowned homecoming queen by Iast year’s queen Steffie Smith. The homecoming at- Chris Chapman tries to turn on the speed and gain some yards for the seniors, but their only points came on a safety. tendants were seniors Jenny Diehl and Kel- ly Conrad, junior Jenny Smith, and sopho- more Micolea Jennings. The Baron Brigade showed their spirit along with their talent by performing for the fans on the football field. There were no floats during the half-time ceremonies since homecoming was held on an earlier date than usual. After the game a “victory” dance was held, although the Barons lost to Angola 13-34. The sound system for the evening was Spectrum. Faces old and new showed up at DHS to share the evening’s festivities. Taco, the pig, was supposed to help the junior cheerleaders, but spent some time resting while tied to the bench. The homecoming dance after the game is being enjoyed by seniors Jeff Dangler and Sue Smith and ‘82 grad Mark Schilling. 8 © Homecoming Junior attendant was Jenny Smith, escorted by Larry Smith, left below.

But in 1982 the weather man generally cooperat- ed, with just a few showers causing some mud in the livestock areas. The band appeared in several parades, concluding with their first place finish among the Class B bands in Saturday’s Grand Finale Parade. Fair week was busy for the FFA. In addi- tion to their Old MacDonald’s Farm, where kids could pet animals, they spon- sored a farm skills competition, which was won by Jim Clifford. They also entered a float in Saturday’s parade. The swing choir placed second behind Carroll in that competition and Julie Sham- baugh and Marla McKown competed for fair queen. Drawing and painting students spent their traditional day at the fair, re- cording the sights on paper and many Bar- ons stopped in at Campus Life’s Mousehole or at the junior booth to buy a raffle ticket. But most of us simply enjoyed walking around the square soaking in the carnival- like atmosphere, seeing our friends, and stopping once in a while for a ride or to take a chance at one of the game booths or eating some of the food, such as elephant ears, cotton candy, taffy apples, etc. Maybe it’s a good thing that the fair only comes once a year!

While sitting on the floor of the cabin, Percy tries to help Annie in her attempts to Communt- cate with Helen. 12¢ The Miracle Worker ptante Sullivaa Works 4A Yliracle “The Miracle Worker,” which was per- formed November 12-13, was a success to those who acted in it and to those who came to see the play. It seems as if miracles really can happen. Blind, deaf and dumb, and greatly tem- pered, Helen Keller was portrayed by Marla McKown. Robin Stone portrayed the stubborn, bull-headed, Irish Annie Sul- livan, who the Kellers hired in despera- tion, hoping she'd be able to help Helen be less of a menace to family harmony. After four weeks of practice, it was worth the time that the twenty actors spent in hard work to be able to present this play to the public. Costumes were an added touch to the production. The cast had a few unusual experiences with the props and costumes. On one of Marla’s entrances, she did not have a chance to get her dress zipped, and as she was out on stage, she kept her back away from the audience as others tried to zip it for her. Once when Creager Smith (James Keller) went to sit down, his chair broke from underneath him. It was hard for everyone on stage to keep from laugh- ing! Four blind children show their love to Annie before her departure by presenting her a gift as Mr. Anagnos (Albert Witt) watches. While Helen feels the water running into the pitcher, she mutters her first word: “wa-wa.” This was many trials and tribulations after her first encounter with her new teacher, shown at left. The Miracle Worker @ 13 Luuace: “Ja Eat on Most students would probably agree that lunch is the best part of the school day. They might not agree that eating the cafe- teria food, with pizza every other Wednes- day, is the best part, but they know that they get 35 minutes of free time to do what- ever they want ... well, almost anything. Students know, of course, that they aren’t allowed to leave the school grounds, although there are rumors that some have tried it and maybe even gotten away with- out getting caught. Lots of Barons used the benches in the hall as places to sit and relax while catch- ing up on the latest gossip, watching other students walk past, or munching on a can- dy bar. Others spent their lunch time in the gym in friendly games of horse or one-on- one. But when it got warm outside, many students went outside to sit in the sunshine or play frisbie. Whatever the chosen activ- ity, lunch time was looked forward to by nearly everyone.

Driving not only means more freedom, but more responsibilities too, like holding a job to keep gas in the tank for Friday night. Again, we had to register the auto- mobiles we'd be driving to school. And the parking lot was under surveilance during lunch hour and after school. If we did have to ride the bus to school, there was always a bit of added excitement that comes with water and paper-wad fights. Then there’s the advantage of sitting with your sweetheart all the way home while listening to the bus driver’s favorite radio station. No matter how it was that we got here, we'd have to agree that getting there was half the fun.

Most of the girls went crazy over the lead singer Bob Best. But some students may disagree about Sweetfire be- ing the best. Maybe some students liked the energy convo with Reggie the Robot, the talking gas pump, or the convo with Rang- er Gary Horton when he talked with DHS students about patriotism. The choir students might have liked the Christmas convo or the Showcase ’83 convo with the Sound Sensation and jazz band. Or some may have liked the multi- media presentation called “Stampede.” Whatever interests DHS students had, there was at least one convo to satisfy ev- eryone. But even if a particular convo didn’t suit a student’s needs, everyone probably would agree that it was better than sitting in the classroom. Wendy Dapp seems deep in thought as she listens to the ideas and opinions about patrio- tism expressed by Ranger Gary Horton, at right.

No, there are just too many other things to do. Barons enjoy many activities like shop- Ping, going to parties and participating in sports. Some of us may have to go to work, but we all know that it’s not all work and no play. Sometimes just sitting down and relaxing in front of the TV is enough. Weekends are the main event for Barons, especially during the school year. Friday nights are famous for basketball games and dances. Saturday night parties are thor- oughly enjoyed, and Sundays are great just for sleeping in. No matter what it is we do, everyone knows that no one does it better than us Barons. Instead of doing homework after school, Angie Pankop enjoys the nice weather by doing a little horseback riding. Working as a carry-out person is not so bad as long as the weather is warm. It gives John McDermott a chance to get out and wave to his friends. E After school Angie Manon and Jeff Antrup aren't out goofing off. They prefer using their extra time to make some extra bucks.

Above, Kim Knauer wears a sweater over a shirt, which was a typical style this year, as she works on her routine for the speech team. 22° Styles Some styles at DHS never change. For instance, blue jeans, sweat shirts, T-shirts and tennis shoes will probably always re- main. However, there were several differ- ent styles at DHS throughout the year. At the beginning of the year, it was al- most all the way “Preppie.”’ Shirts, sweat- ers, jackets, even socks with alligators on them, oxford shirts with the collars stand- ing up, polo shirts, and boat shoes were in, but as the year went by, “Prep” seemed to fade away a bit. “New Wave” or “Punk” was another new style of clothing. The short punk hair- cuts, geometric shaped jewelry and designs along with all the “different” clothing. Bright and bold colors, cut off sleeves, puff sleeved jackets, the low heel pumps, and the new style of tennis shoes: this new style of clothing seemed to change the pace a bit. The “Western” look was another style that appeared in the halls: the prairie skirts, ruffled western shirts, new or faded blue jeans, plaids, and, of course, cowboy boots. No one style at DHS over-ruled the halls. No matter what was worn, it was probably in style of one kind or another. Bib-front shirts were big in 1983. Mike Rees- man’s mouse from Advanced Psychology class seems interested in Mike's pleated and striped version. Shirts with various insignia were in style: alliga- tors, foxes, dragons, even bunnies. Here, Mitch Kruse wears his “Playboy” sweat shirt. Even shirts and ties were sometimes worn. In the business mood for his Accounting class is senior Marty Schalow. Styles © 23 DAS Hosts Mauy Dauces After-game and other kinds of dances were enjoyed by many. The flashing lights and the exciting beat would roam through the halls and call everyone in to get down to the great music of various bands and sound systems. The fast pace of the music would go on and on, but some couples were glad to hear a slow song come so they could catch their breath for the next fast song. In November, there was the Sadie Haw- kins Dance, or as some call it, the guy’s night out, because the girls asked the guys and, of course, the girls had to pay for the evening. After the basketball teams won their sec- tionals, the students got to skip second hour for victory dances. The boys then won at Regional so we had a two hour dance with refreshments served in the commons. The Christmas Formal was enjoyed by many couples. It was sponsored by the Ger- man Club and the French Club sponsored a Valentines Dance in February. The dances of DHS were of very great importance to all, and the students wanted to make the nights the best ever.

The crowd supported the team and carried the enthusiasm throughout the season. The fans were an important part to the team this year. They would be on their feet yelling and screaming until the last second of the game, which brought a lot of victo- ries. The team could look up in the stands and see the sea of red and know that their fans were with them. This was true even on the road where sometimes there were near- ly as many Baron fans in the stands as there were fans for the home team. One game which no one will forget is the victory over Northrop at Regional. Both schools were celebrating until the game officials said that Northrop’s last- split-second shot was no good and DeKalb had won. Then there was only one team celebrating and that was the DeKalb Bar- ons. “R-O-W-D-I-E” is a word in one of our cheers and a word to describe DeKalb Baron fans, at left during a home game, and below after the controversial Regional victory over Fort Wayne Northrop. Fans At Games ® 27 Speecal Days Guild School Spirit Dress-up days gave students a chance to really go all out and show their school spirit. It was a great way to get out of the same old monotony of the day’s schedule and added a little more interest on our way to classes. Sectional week was the main event of the year when the spirit rose to the max. A lot of time and work went into decorating the halls and planning the week’s spirit days and pep session. The seniors decorated lockers and awarded prizes to the best ones. Signs and sheets that were hung in the senior hall added more glamour and excitement to the week’s happenings. The juniors spaced out and used astro- nauts to represent each school in our sec- tional. As each team was eliminated, it was also taken off the junior hall. Their hall was star-studded and really showed that junior spirit. Everyone got the spirit when they walked down the sophomore hall and saw the flashing disco light in the showcase. All the signs expressed the good spirit of the sophomores and wished the Barons good luck. Monday not only showed our Baron spirit, but our M A S H spirit as well, by having an army day. Tuesday rocked on with a ’50’s day and everyone sweated it out Wednesday on sweatsuit day. Thursday was red, black, and white day and the week finally came to a freaky end by having a crazy day on Friday.

Wayne. The King and Queen were crowned and more music was played for dancing for those who hadn’t already left for after- prom activities.

Some students really let their style show by hanging cards, stickers, pictures of friends, idols, boy- or girlfriends, and even candy wrappers. Students gathered around their lockers or friends’ lockers to catch up on the latest gossip, for a friendly chat, or maybe to get caught up on assignments. The cheerleaders helped support the athletes by placing small paper footballs on the locker of each member of the team. They also shared their spirit by putting basketballs on the guys’ lockers during sec- tional week. The school kept the spirit rolling by playing the school song between classes as students went to their lockers to exchange books to go to their next class. During sectional week the seniors tried to create more spirit by having locker decorations along with the whole school participating with hall decorations. Again the cheerleaders showed their spirit by decorating the members of the boys’ bas- ketball team’s lockers with streamers of red and black. Lockers are an important part of DHS.

Many hours of planning and work were required to transform the gym into a large display of paintings, drawings, pottery, and much more. The Fine Arts Show consisted of work from Drawing and Painting classes, Photography, Ceramics, Art I, and II, and work from many other classes. The gym floor was covered with individ- ual and group displays with each one hav- ing a special touch of its own. The Vocational Graphics Arts students displayed their work from the past year of sports programs, note paper, memo pads, and a wide range of other printed material. Besides looking at the different displays of talent in the gym, visitors could also attend the musical “Oklahoma”’ presented by the music department across the hall in the auditorium.

The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical includes such well- known songs as “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning,” “The Surrey with the Fringe on Top,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” “I Can’t Say No,” and, of course, “Oklaho- ma.” The plot involved two love triangles. One was between Curley (Noel Outland), Laurey (Carla Tester), and Judd (Randy Drake. Will (Todd Bonecutter), Ado An- nie (Amy MacDowell), and Ali Hakim (Creager Smith) were the three corners of the other triangle. Everything, as is usually the case, came out well in the end and everyone lived happily ever after except Judd, who was killed during a fight with Curley. The pit band, directed by Mr. Dick Karkosky, fought water in the pit from spring rains in addition to the challenge of the music.

The Student Council is our school’s gov- ernment which helps run and sponsor cer- tain events. The purpose of Student Coun- cil is to do things for the school and to represent the students. The Student Council sponsored many events such as the WMEE-Faculty basket- ball game, junior and senior powder puff football and homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, Christmas toy drive, and the candy store. One of the ideas the Student Council spon- sored was the faculty breakfast held in April. In addition to these sponsored events, Student Council followed parlia- mentary procedure throughout the school year. Student Council officers consisted of President Mitch Kruse, Vice President Mike Reesman, Secretary Rick Hurni, and Treasurer Kim Knauer. Dr. Perry and Mr. Andes served as Student Council sponsors. é wie = Bcc 7 i The Student Council sponsored an intramural The Faculty Breakfast gives principal Doug ping-pong tournament.

In return for being released from the dull routine of study hall, student service workers per- formed vari ous tasks to assist the faculty and school. It also gave them a chance to learn various skills which might better pre- pare them for a job after high school. While helping teachers grade papers and doing other jobs, students were earning points for themselves. Points were given for hours worked. When a student earned 150 points, he received a silver medal. A gold medal was awarded after 300 points, and a trophy was earned by any student service worker accumulating 450 points.

Student Service ® 47 Sop Clubs, Letterwinners Showing School Spirit, Selling Coke Pop Corn , There were three organizations at DHS whose activities were centered mainly around basketball: Boys’ and Girls’ Pep Clubs and Letterwinners. The Girls’ Pep Club met with the cheer- leaders throughout the season to learn new cheers and did various things to boost school spirit. The Boys’ Pep Club was new- ly organized to take the place of the former Coffin Corner group. They had their own special shirts and distinctive head bands with a red circle on them. One of the stated purposes of this group was to promote good sportsmanship at games. The Letterwinners Club was open to all DHS athletes. Its primary activity was sell- ing concessions at basketball games. The funds earned would be applied toward the purchase of various athletic department needs such as new scoreboards. Workers earned points toward awards such as sus- penders, license plates, T-shirts, and jacket patches. The top four point earners were Mike Clevenger, Brenda Wellman, Scott Goe, and Sherrie Reinig.

Pep Clubs, Letterwinners ® 49 Cheerleaders Boosting Baron Spirit Jakes Lots of Work The cheerleaders were especially busy this year. Following their election in the spring, they spent much time during the summer developing new cheers and rou- tines. They also attended a cheerleading camp at DePauw University in Greencas- tle, Indiana, where they received the most spirited award. They sponsored a cheer- leading clinic for area grade schoolers in the fall. Members of the varsity squad were Tonya Baker, Kelly Conrad, Deb Heller, % ROH 50 @ Cheerleaders Lana Hurni, Susan Miller, and Sarah Pfef- ferkorn. Reserve cheerleaders were Diana Heller, Shawn Maple, Tonia Nixon, and Traci Weilbaker. The cheerleader sponsor was Mrs. Cheryl Kroemer. In addition to cheering at all football and basketball games, the girls supported the teams by painting signs, organizating pep sessions, leading pep club, decorating players’ lockers and doing many other things designed to encourage school spirit at DHS. The two pictures above show the varsity cheer- leaders in action during Regional basketball competition at the Coliseum.

German Club officers were President ; rants Wendy Dapp, Vice President Ken Seigel, Secretary Andrea Souder, and Treasurer Mike Hoffelder. The sponsor of German Club was Mr. Greg Vick. The German Club engaged in several activities during the year. Their primary money-making projects were working the coat check during basketball season and selling concessions during baseball season. They also played host to the lovely Christ- mas Formal at which Mitch Kruse and Su- san Dangler were named King and Queen. A spring field trip to the German com- munity of Frankenmuth, Michigan, was en- joyed by about 48 club members and the club also took part in the Foreign Lan- guage Banquet, where members of the three language clubs brought foods from t heir own countries to share with everyone.

Spanish Club was led by President Jeff Oberlin, Vice President Jon Oglesbee, Secretary Suzanne Chavez, and Treasurer Terri Cole. Spanish Club started their year with money making projects. The first one was acting as guides at the showing of the Cord Estate. These guides showed people around the Estate and answered questions. They also sold football concessions and hosted two after-game dances. Although Spanish Club had numerous money-making projects, it was not a club of all work and no fun. It participated in the Foreign Language Banquet and held a banquet at El Rey for all of its hard-work- ing members. A banquet was also held dur- ing Christmas time at Chi-Chi’s. In addition to these activities, they went to Wayne High School, where they saw the play Don Quixote. To end their year, they hosted a presentation at DeKalb with Mrs. Patterson as the performer. The French Club was led by President Sara Hilkey, Vice President Pennie For- rest, Secretary Susan Miller, and Treasurer Kim Knauer. The French Club was active by having many bake sales. Their biggest project, however, was hosting the Valentines Dance, on which they spent many hours to be sure everything was just right. They also sold carnations which were handed out at school on Friday before the dance. Besides enjoying the Language Banquet, they also held a Christmas party in honor of Mr. Love’s birthday. To end the year, they held a party at Cafe Johnell for all of their hard work throughout the year.

The team competed in 14 tournaments, not including sectional, regional, and state. While the average number of schools in competition was 25 per meet, DeKalb managed to capture no less than fifth place at each of the invitational tournaments. The speech team continued on their win- ning streak by going on to the sectional and receiving a second place, placing third at regional, and sending eight individuals on to state, where they captured ninth place. The eight state qualifiers included Noel Outland, who received a third in Poetry Interpretation, Kim Knauer, who received eighth in Poetry Interpretation, Bryan Nu- gen, also competing in Poetry, was a sem1- finalist, Scott Metzger captured a fifth place in Extemporaneous Speaking, David Benson was a semi-finalist in Extempora- neous Speaking, Janet Fee received eighth place with her Drama Interpretation, and both Scott Johnson and Marla McKown qualified with Humorous Interpretation. With the speech team finishing with such a fine record, it would only be fitting to say that “Nobody did it better” than the 1983 speech team.

The chapter met several other area FFA chapters in Ezperiences Busy Soar hard fought games and ended up with a 3-3 record. The Future Farmers of America, better known as FFA, is a large group of voca- tional ag students who are planning a Ca- reer in agriculture. The DHS chapter is active all year around. They started the school year off with Young McDonald’s farm at the fair. This is where people can pet and handle farm animals. They also held their first Farm Skills Contest during the fair. Win- ners were Tom Orwig, Jim Clifford, Jack Lepley, and Mike Mason, with Clifford be- ing the over-all champion. The dairy judging team placed second in the county and second at district with the opportunity to go to Purdue during the summer for state competition. Alan Berry- hill was fourth place individual at county and first at district level. The crop judging team placed third in the county as did the livestock team. At district leadership contest Andy Landers placed third with his demonstra- tion on artificial insemination. For Indiana Ag Day, the FFA helped out by serving as tour guides for third grade students at a local farm and helping them learn about the livestock on the farm. The annual FFA banquet was held on May 14 at which time awards for the year were distributed. Being elected District III Treasurer was quite an honor for Tricia Bry and the chapter. District III includes five area Counties. The chapter's entry in the Fair parade included this tractor. The float’s theme was a comparison of farm prices from 1925 to those of 1982. 58 @ Future Farmers Taking part in the opening of a regular chapter meeting are officers: Reporter Holly Ferguson, Treasurer Brian Schuman, Vice-President Tricia Bry, President Dave Foster, Advisor Dave Gurtner, Secretary Tom Orwig, and Sentinel Rod Dunn.

Then during Christmas they gave cookies to the teach- ers to help spread holiday cheer. The year ended by making mice to give to the teach- ers in appreciation for all their hard work. A scholarship was also awarded to one of the graduating seniors. FEA was led by Co-Presidents Cheryl Rinehold and Noel Outland, Vice-Presi- dent Julie Shambaugh, and Sec.-Treas. Tra- cy Tuttle. Sponsors were Dorothy Couey and Judy Eisenhut. Future Homemakers were also active, as they held two banquets, a skating party and a bowling party. Club members also went to the district convention at Columbia City and the state convention in Indianapolis, where sponsor Mrs. Stomm was honored for 25 years of service to FHA. The club visited Kiddie Kollege, where they had a party for the children and as a community service they went to the county farm to entertain the residents.

In order for a junior or senior to qualify, the four general criteria of the group must be met: Character, Scholar- ship, Leadership, and Service. The senior members who were inducted the previous spring set up five committees which worked throughout most of the year doing things to make the club better. For one thing they revised the membership ap- plication form. They also worked on estab- lishing a scholarship to be made available to NHS members. A number of NHS members spent a day at City Hall in Auburn watching govern- ment in action. A planned Indianapolis field trip was cancelled by a rare snow day. On April 25 an initiation banquet was held for members and their families where 10 seniors and 25 juniors were added to the group. Officers of the National Honor So- ciety were President Ken Seigel, Vice President Lori Warstler, Secretary Wendy Dapp, and Treasurer Missy Blevins. Mr. Paul Thomas served the group as advisor.

Shortly after the school year ended there was “Su- per Clod.” On Thursday mornings there were breakfast meetings. Usually served was French toast and orange juice. Dur ing the summer there was an annual water ski marathon, which was held at Mr. Moreland’s cottage at Lake Jimmerson. In October there was a roller skating mara- thon held at the Skating Station. DeKalb’s Miss Campus Life candidate Tina Freed came in third place in fund- raising competition with candidates from area schools. This campaign took many hours of work during its two weeks of competing. Several trips were also taken: mountain climbing in Colorado and snow skiing in Colorado and Michigan. One of the big- gest trips was to Florida during spring break. A white water rafting trip was also enjoyed by many students.

They helped set up the chairs and equipment before the meets, helped keep score, and sold concessions at both wrestling matches and girls basket- ball games. Bat Girls were important to the success of the baseball team. Their tasks were many, including running the score-predict- ing contests for free food, making signs to encourage the team, collecting admissions at games, selling peanuts, and being re- sponsible for retrieving foul balls and looking after the equipment. While they keep score, Sarah Pfefferkorn and Penny Seiss seem to be very interested in the meet as it progresses.

The Baron Shield, sponsored by Mrs. Kay Thomass, was the student newspaper, issued monthly. Along with its most popular feature of the classified ads, the Shield also contained sports, club activities, editorials, and other information about the school. Joan Lawson was the Editor-in-Chief of the Shield. She was assisted by Dawn Snav- ley, Assistant Editor; Rick Mitchell, Lay- Out Editor; Kim McClellan, Sports Editor; Dianne Muzzillo, Circulation Editor; and Greg Smith, Business Manager. The paper was produced as an extra-curricular activ- ity, but some of the stories were written by journalism students. The yearbook, the Saber, was produced by twelve students who worked as a com- mittee, with nobody being designated as Editor-in-Chief.

Even so, a dual meet record of 15-2 and no other losses until sixth place at state would be the envy of most other teams. But the Barons had been ranked second through most of the season and the times showed they had a legitimate run at state champion Carmel. It just wasn’t to be. Ron Pepple again led the team, setting record after record, with his fastest time for 5000 meters being 15:14, At the region- als in Elkhart, Ron broke the existing course record by 27 seconds, with a 15:53 timing.

Unfortunately Ron’s 15:14 at state was good enough only for tenth place. Earlier, at the Bloomington Invitational, he had handily defeated Matt Grady, the first place finisher at state. Other seniors on the team were Jeff Oberlin, Scott Goe, Kenny Lynch, Dan Diemer, and Steve Bangs. Seniors at re- serve level were Randy Drake and Terry Fender. Lone junior Greg Pepple and sopho- mores Brett Pontoni, John Reesman and Jim Finchum helped to round out the team which again over-powered the NEIAC meet, placing all seven runners in the top twelve. Since there were just three girls running, there was no girls’ team. But sophomore Sherrie Reinig placed eighth at sectional (11:53 for 3000 meters) and thirtieth at regional (12:10). She was backed up by sophomore Martha Foar and freshman Kim Schlosser. FRONT ROW: Randy Drake, Rick Smith, David VanWye, Keith Pepple, Jerry VanWye, Sherrie Reinig, Martha Foar, Kim Schlosser.

Individual champions for the Barons were Tim Bas- sett at number three singles and Stu Der- row and Doug Lockwood at number one doubles. In conference competition the Barons finished 5-3, which was good enough for a third place tie. Making conference first team were seniors Todd Goings and Stu Derrow. Second team selections went to junior Doug Lockwood and sophomore Tim Bassett. After defeating the defending champions Angola 5-0 for the sectional title, the Bar- ons played Elkhart Central for the regional title, but only Goings and Bassett could win their matches. Goings still had a chance to go to state, but lost 7-5, 7-5 to Goshen’s Frank Hess and finished the year 20-4 at number one singles. Also having outstanding years were Tim Bassett, who was 20-3 at number three sin- gles, and the number one doubles team of Stu Derrow and Doug Lockwood with their 21-2 record. Tennis @ 77 Spikers Improve NEIAC Finish: Smith Named All-Conference Serves, sets, spikes, digs! These terms, familiar to volleyball fans, represent some of the skills necessary for playing good volleyball. The Lady Barons in 1982 worked hard to improve these skills and it paid off in a 4th place finish in conference, their highest ever. Overall, the team broke even at home, but went 4-8 in matches on the road for a 7-11 record. Jenny Smith was honored as the only junior on the conference first team. Her stats included an 82 percent spiking effi- ciency with 114 kills in 259 attempts. Lis Palmer made the conference honorable mention squad. Liz had a team-high of 175 setting assists and was 96 percent in serv- ing efficiency in 160 attempts. Other notable performances were turned in by second spiker Diana Sanders; Leila Crossley, 20 stuff blocks; Micolea Jennings, 97 percent serving efficiency; and Denise Brown, 90 percent spiking efficien- cy. The reserve team was 3-7 while the C- team had a 3-5 year. Among those doing well at the reserve level were Chris Albin with 97 percent on serve receiving and serving and Laurie Till, 98 percent on both spiking efficiency and serve receiving. After defeating Garrett in the Eastside sectional, the Lady Barons lost to Leo, the eventual sectional champs and runners-up in the regional. 78 Volleyball Varsity Volleyball: Front Row: Manager Sheila Tipton, Chris Albin, Michele Findley, Lis Palmer, Micolea Jennings, Jenny Smith, Missy Blevins, Rene DePew, manager.

Although the varsity team’s record was four wins and six losses, two of the victories were lop-sided white- washings of area arch-rivals East Noble and Garrett. The team finished 2-4 in con- ference play. If the Barons could have skipped the second quarter, they would have outscored their opponents 112-74. But the second quarter margin of 8-67 spelled their doom. The defensive unit turned in some out- standing performances and set a new school record by holding the opponents to only 1162 net yards rushing, while the Bar- ons were gaining 1451 yards on the ground.

Barons End Regular Season With Six Game Win Streak After the Barons lost their first two games, few people would have given them a chance of finishing the regular season with only two more losses. But that was j ust what they did. Although they finished third in regular conference play, they managed to win January’s NEIAC tourney. And they were unde- Isrrais feated at home. The Barons liked to keep things in- teresting for their fans, winning many games by 5 or fewer points, including all five over-time games. The senior-dominated team compiled some outstanding statistics, including a 50.4 field goal percentage and 72.1 per- cent on free throws. They scored 544 points on free throws compared to only 282 for the opponents. They also outre- bounded the opposition 807 to 631.

Only the first win in sec- tional was one-sided, 69-46 over Garrett. From then on, the fans were on the edge of their seats. As if the overtime win over Angola wasn’t enough, the sectional final game was won over Leo by just one point. The Regional was more of the same, with a five point win over Whitko followed by the controversial one point win over Northrop to make it into the “Sweet Six- teen.” After Bob Sutton sank two free throws with no time showing on the clock, Northrop’s Iast-split-second desperation tip-in was disallowed by the official. In Semi-State action, the Barons ousted defending state champ Plymouth by five points but lost by one to Marion behind the 38 point performance of James Blackmon.

The team finally gained some re- spect and were once ranked 18th in the state. All-in-all, it was an exciting season. After losing to Bellmont by 2 points in the conference tourney, the Lady Barons bounced back to nip their NEIAC rivals in a one-point overtime game in the regular season — a game that attracted the largest crowd ever for girls’ basketball at DHS. The Lady Barons were able to avenge another loss, this time to Snider, by sound- ly defeating them 45-26 in the Regional semi-finals. The final loss was by just 2 points in the regional final to Heritage, the defending state champ. Leila Crossley, named area prep of the year, was leading scorer with 347 points, a 15.1 average.

Their combined score of 328 won first place at the Central Noble Invitational. It was another year of the varsity being con- stantly challenged by the reserves, who compiled a 13-1 record. The reserves scored better than the varsity in three meets. Sophomore Jon Kistler out-shot his up- perclass teammates through most of the 10-6 Season year, recording an average score of 39.375. Kistler also recorded the lowest round on the team with a 36, which he carded twice. Senior Jim Hughes had the second best average with 40.75. Kistler and Hughes both shot 78 on the tough Brookwood golf course at conference to earn First Team All-Conference honors.

The regional saw the Nor- throp Bruins getting revenge for their bas- ketball regional defeat by edging the Bar- ons 4-3. The team finished second in the conference. Senior leadership was the key to the 24- 10 season, with 3 seniors named to the All- Conference squad: Bob Squires, Tim Kessler, and Steve Peterson. Squires ended his high school career by setting several school records. For his career, Bob had the most hits (211), most times at bat (570), most RBI’s (175), most home runs (32), and tied for most doubles (46). His single season records were for homeruns (14) and RBI's (49). On the offensive side, the Barons were at times awesome with their bats with 100 of their 286 hits being for extra bases, 39 of them homeruns. The team batting average was a fine .314 with four hitters over .300: Squires (.471), Kessler (.431), Rick Hurni (.382), and Greg Cochran (.300). Besides Squires, Steve Peterson provided power hitting with 10 homeruns and a .298 aver- age. The pitching staff with its 2.7 ERA was headed by senior Tim Kessler, whose out- standing .88 ERA helped him to a 10-2 Typical of the talented senior class, Steve Peter- son prepares to pitch.

The nu- merous business courses offered at DHS help prepare students to enter various ca- reers in the business world. Not only will many of these business skills be valuable in future careers, but several of these skills, such as typing and shorthand, may even be useful during college years. Several of the classes listed involve actual on-the-job training and observation. These courses provide basic office secre- tarial skills, advanced principles of ac- counting and bookkeeping, background information on computer programming and data processing, and knowlege on problems faced in the daily life of an indi- vidual. Such knowledge includes informa- tion concerning real estate, renting, and insurance. Students interested in developing any business skills have a wide variety of courses to choose from. Nearly any of these courses would be beneficial to a col- lege student, homemaker, or an individual planning a business-related career.

Grammar Ain't All They Learns Us For students at DeKalb High School the English Department offers a wide variety of classes. Students who enroll in these classes learn many skills such as reading, writing and speaking. For students who are interested in writ- ing, courses such as Composition, Journal- ism, and Creative Writing are available. Students who are interested in exploring different types of literature by a wide vari- ety of writers, several lit classes may be chosen from. Speech I, II and Theatre Arts give the students an opportunity to express themselves through speaking and acting. Sophomores may choose from among Standard, Basic, and College Prep English. Consumer English is also offered. And those of us who were interesed in working on this yearbook signed up for Journal Book.

Students entering into science and math related fields have an opportunity to choose from many courses. These courses are designed to further their knowledge in these two areas. In the science department, many classes are available. In Biology, students learn many different things. They dissect frogs, clams and other small creatures. In Physi- ology the student is given the opportunity to learn a little more. Each two students are given their own cat to dissect. The Chemistry and Physics classes give the opportunity to learn about molecules and atoms. Students also perform many chemical experiments. Earth Science offers information about weather, soil formations and such. Along with the science department, the math department does its best to further the students’ knowledge. The math depart- ment helps the students to be able to orga- nize their ideas in a way that is logical.

Two of the departments at DHS which help Barons learn more about the societies and cultures of this world are the Foreign Language and Social Studies Departments. Three foreign languages are made avail- able: French, Spanish, and German. The teachers of all three languages work hard to see to it that their students are able to learn about such things as the cultures of the countries where their languages are spoken, as well as the language itself. This is done through the language clubs as well as work in the classroom. The Social Studies Department includes all of the traditional required courses.

One of the projects in Advanced Psy- chology involved the use of mice and trying to train them to run through a wooden maze to a food source and to respond to various stimuli. One thing the students learned was that glass jars, however large, are not the best place to store mice over- night. Exploratory Teaching was also included within the Social Studies Department. In this class the students first studied in the classroom about many of the issues and problems in education today and then spent time at area elementary schools as well as the junior high in order to get some practical classroom experience.

They don’t have to sit in a classroom and stare at the clock and wait for class to get over with. Students who like gym class in their sophomore year can take the advanced gym class in their junior and senior year. This year the advanced gym classes got to go bowling and skating. Students have a variety of sports that they play during the year, mostly depend- ing on what season it is. They play soccer and baseball in the fall and spring and basketball and volleyball in the winter. Phys Ed also helps to sharpen their ability if they go out for sports during the school year.

An important part of this program involved the taking of field trips and the use of many guest speakers. The Family Care and Relations class had a guest speaker on health and Carolyn El- liott talked about wedding flowers. The class also visited an area bridal shop. Mobile homes and underground homes were two ideas explored by Housing stu- dents both with field trips and speakers. They also heard a presentation on interior design. The Foods II class took field trips con- cerning candy making and kitchen equip- ment and heard a guest speaker on cake decorating. A local clothing store brought in a showing of Spring fashions for the Clothing I class. And students in Child De- velopment class were able to observe chil- dren of various ages who were brought to class for observation. It was through these outside experiences in addition to the usual class work and projects that Home Ec students improved their knowledge as well as their skills.

Industrial Arts Develop Individualism The Industrial Arts program prepares students for careers using their manual skills. Classes such as Woods I, II, and III; Electricity I and II; and the various Draft- ing classes provide many opportunities for experience. All of the courses provide advancement programs. Each new semester and each new year, students improve their skills. In the first semester students begin with as- signed projects such as salt and pepper shakers or bread boxes in woods classes and then in the second semester they con- struct projects with individual plans. Met- als students work with major and: minor projects to develop their skills. Drafting classes also create individualism. In Archi- tectural Drafting, students develop plans for a house using what skills they have learned in earlier classes.

The Baron Jazz Band plays a few numbers for part of the entertainment at the Banquet for Champions held in the gym. the Banquet for Champions. The Brigadiers performed for all of the boys home basketball games, one girls game, and the alumni game. They also per- formed many half-time shows such as at Christmas time, a show based on “Fame,” and a difficult flag and rifle routine. The Pep Band played at all of the same games for the Brigadiers and also helped the cheerleaders create some “noise” to boost the Barons. Both the Brigadiers and Pep Band traveled to the Coliseum to per- form when the Barons played Bellmont in a conference double-header. Band @ 129 Singers sparkle, ... Shine,... Glitz ! “Sparkle, shine, glitz” was the theme for the DHS choirs as they began in Septem- ber. Their year consisted of competition, opportunities for service, and major pro- ductions. Sound Sensation showed their talent in the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair, where they placed second, and in the Jasper Invi- tational, placing eighth. They didn’t keep their talent to themselves, however. Sound Sensation provided entertainment for var- ious groups including 4-H, PTO, the Her- mach Center, Cedar Lake Church of Christ, Black Hawk Elementary School, and var- ious churches. Sound Sensation also performed for the student body with convos and in the Ban- quet with Champions. A big engagement in April was the Bluffton Prom. Our choirs didn’t stop there. They brought us two big productions, Joyous Sounds of Christmas and Showcase ’83. Combined with the DHS band, enthusiasm peaked in these two productions.

Getting away into a practice room, Joanne Lu- cas, Martha Foar, and Denise Peffley try to conquer their parts in the new song. Sound Sensation members Debbie Ellert, Carrie Foley, Jill Hay, and Amy MacDowall use their talent to reach those high notes. 132 @ Choirs Baron aay Preparation, Practice Make Perfect For DHS choir members, fun means work. Before their special productions and concerts, they spend hours preparing. Each choir has an hour in the school day for pteparation. After-school practices are also a way to prepare for upcoming events. Their preparation consists of various stages. To begin, they have a few exercises to loosen the back muscles and relax the throat area. Following this, Mr. LeFavour leads them in a few vocal warm-ups con- sisting of scales and various rhythms. Next comes the hard part, breaking the songs down into parts with each section of the choir learning its part. Many times to make this easier, choir members will divide into small groups and practice together in different rooms. The goal is to make the entire group sound like one. After the music to a song is learned, then the trimmings are put on. With additions such as dance steps, costumes, and lights, the choir can dazzle its audience. Watching the DHS choirs on stage, it appears easy, but the truth is that long hours of practice made perfect. ABOVE: The following choir members are practicing fora coming concert.

Not only in athletics, but in other areas such as music — both instrumental and vocal — and speech, Barons excelled. In athletics, the Barons won the highly prized All Sports Banner awarded by the Northeastern Indiana Athletic Conference to the team placing highest in all thirteen conference sports. In the spring nearly 800 people attended the “Banquet with Champions” in the gym where all of the school’s accomplishments were honored, including the semi-state fi- nalist boys basketball team. It was later announced that the basketball team had been invited to play Marion in the Hall of Fame Classic on December 3, 1983. Other spring activities where the Barons proved their excellence included the pro- duction of “Oklahoma,” the Fine Arts Show, and the Junior-Senior Prom. Given all of these facts and reading the rest of this yearbook about our activities this year, we hope you'll agree with us that ...
