of FACE at DHS The 1984-1985 school year brought many changes to DHS. The building ap- peared different after much of the in- terior was redecorated. Not only was the appearance of the high school al- tered, but along with the normal load of incoming sophomores, the freshman class was moved to the high school for the first time since 1975, which also re- quired additional faculty members. For freshmen and sophomores this was the beginning of their high school careers, but for seniors it was their final year together. The year started off with successful football, volleyball, and cross country teams. Many individual seniors made their best efforts and were able to en- joy the thrill of victory. Chris Schlosser made it all the way to state in wrestling and also set a national wrestling re- cord in his weight class. Although Tim Basset fell short of the state finals, he too had an outstanding season. Brian Proud senior band members look on as Jill Hay Dapp was announced as a member of shakes hands with Mr. Fites after presenting him the north team for the North-South All- with the band’s well-deserved trophies. Star football game and also accepted a scholarship to play football for Pur- due University. Even though there was an unex- pected week out of school due to bad 2 weather in February, students were still “itchy’”’ for spring to arrive and bring with it sunshine, warm weather, motor- cycles, convertibles, and short sleeved shirts. Dances, games, concerts, and par- ties were greatly enjoyed by the Bar- ons, but when exam time came around, most students knew when to hit the books and cram. Although the building was different and more students cluttered the hall- ways, A Change of Face” did not make a Change of Spirit at DHS.
