SPIRIT: Dress-up days give DHS students a chance to really go all out and show their Baron Spirit. Hawaiian shirt day; dress-up days for Halloween and Christmas; sun glasses and hats day; red, white, and black day; and sweat suit day were a few of the events sponsored by the Student Council.

Seniors Recall ‘Good Old Days’ Elementary also known as “Mclntrash.”’ During recess the guys played dodge- ball and the girls played on the mon- keybars. Joe Bellinger gave a “Skywatch’’ report during some part of each day. And John Reesman had a new girlfriend every day. A few more seniors were McKenney “Bulldogs.” Everyone had to taste everything on their plates at lunch. This school had a pierced earring club. In kindergarten, every time anyone wore new clothes, they got to stand up on their chair and model them. Last, but not least, the rest of the 4985 seniors either attended Ashley- Fairfield or moved from another dis- trict. Here, Diane Sanders beat up on all the guys. All the guys and girls went out behind the school building during recess and usually wound up in trouble. Ashley claims they never lost to Auburn or Waterloo during basketball season and Eric Buckmaster dated. Val Link in the sixth grade. Those were the’ ‘good old days.” .

spirit was aroused at DHS. The games were a welcomed change of pace from the same old day-to-day routine. Some things that were really “in’’ were the sun glasses, bandanas, and hats that accompanied the fired-up De- Kalb students to the Friday and Satur- day night games. A new group to the school called Baron Pride was a big boost to the Bar- on spirit. Baron Pride sponsored a cara- van escorted by the DeKalb County Sheriff and Auburn Police departments on Setpember 30 to the DeKalb vs. Garrett football game. Fifteen to twenty cars were involved, accompa- nied by beeping horns, supportive signs and banners, streamers, balloons, and other various noise makers. As the caravan pulled into town, everyone could hear that the Barons were com- ing, and as the caravan arrived at Garrett High School, once again ev- eryone knew that the Baron Pride and Baron spirit still shines through.
