CENTER: Junior Tom Hire is carefully watched by Junior Achievement advisor Randy Fox as Tom fills out some forms. Two organizations which involved many DHS students but were spon- sored by groups from outside of the school system were Campus Life and Junior Achievement. Campus Life met nearly every Tues- day night for discussions about topics such as dating, parents, peer pressure, sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll. These weekly meetings gave the students a chance to relax and fit in with a group that could relate to their emotions and problems. Events like the Burger Bash, a roll-a- thon, a ski trip to Colorado, and the “grand finale,’’ the spring break vaca- tion in Florida, were all sponsored by Campus Life. They also sponsored two convocations for the students throughout the school year. Tuesday and Thursday evenings of- fered DHS students a time to go to the Junior Achievement center and learn about business: how to work in a Ccor- poration, how to run an assembly line, and how to sell their products.

children of the DeKalb Central schools. The inventors created a toy manu- facturing machine that they intended to sell to local businessmen. The narra- tor, Joyo (Pam Witmer), enlisted the help of the young audience with many © little things. The high point of the play occured when the toy machine pro- duced a candy cane cage, and after a spirited chase, Kalibad and Evila were locked up. There are always the seemingly in- chine big enough to spout a cage and solvable problerns that are somehow solved by opening night. Probably Mr. Nagel’s theatre arts class remembers the difficulty of constructing a toy ma- small enough to carry on stage. Mrs. Kirkton remembers the agony of a snowstorm that lasted the entire week before the play was to be per- formed. Most of all, the excitement and enthusiasm of the children was contageous. Nobody can forget that! Children’s Play, Musical Entertain TOP, LEFT: Senior Carrie Foley shares her make- up know-how with less experienced Ben Smaltz before the musical. LOWER, LEFT: It's Ben Smaltz ... disguised as Yellow Feather, a not-so-mild-mannered Indian, who fights a never-ending battle for truth, jus- tice, and the Redman’s way. ABOVE: Brett Pontoni and Tracey Walters don’t seem to mind being trapped in a cage togeth- et; especially since it’s all in fun for the children’s play. 23 MUSICAL

Fun At Its Best Junior Achievement was sponsored by Auburn Gear, Cooper, Dana, and | Magnavox. These companies helped students produce things such as clocks, mugs, and thermometers. Each group also stamped matches for dif- ferent businesses. The year ended with a big awards banquet held in Fort Wayne’s new Grand Wayne Center. Both of these organizations were of great value as they allowed students to experience and slowly enter the real world. TOP, LEFT: Debbie Rennwald and JoAnn Myers sit and wait at Westedge Mall in Auburn for some people to come along and buy the clocks they made in JA.
