George, Emily Fall In Love On the nights of November 22 and 23, the DHS auditorium was opened for the presentation of the play Our Town. The play’s setting is in Grovers Corners, New Hampshire, at the turn of the century. It was written by Thornton Wilder and first performed on Broadway in 1938. The play centers around the two main characters, George Gibbs and Emily Webb, who have grown up together and soon discover they love each other. The play deals a lot with life’s potential and the way that hu- mans handle their own lives. The produc- tion was well directed by Mr. John Wil- son. The cast of Our Town was as follows: Stage Manager, Michelle Shuman; Howie Newsome, Todd Bishop; Mr. Webb, Matt Bowers; Mrs. Webb, Georganna Cobbs; Emily Webb, Jenny Griggs; Wally Webb, John Bry; Dr. Gibbs, Rod Sibery; Mrs. Gibbs, Heather Charlesworth; George Gibbs, Dennis Blaker; Rebecca Gibbs, Tonya Gaunt; Professor Willard, Carolyn Bertin; Mrs. Soames, Lynn Brown. Other cast members included Lorin Brigle, Bruce Buttermore, Cherie Davis, Lori DePew, Mike Hoffelder, Anne Locke, Jeff Martin, Andy Miller, Audi Rader, Kim Schlosser, Tracy Stuckey, Todd Webb, Leslie Whittington, and Rod Williams. Dennis Blaker and Jenny Griggs rehearse their parts as George and Emily discussing their future while enjoying an afternoon at the soda shop. On the day of Emily Webb’s funeral, Jeff Martin, portraying Sam Craig, pays his respects to the de- ceased Mrs. Gibbs, Heather Charlesworth.

and Wins Sweepstakes Award The smell of popcorn and cotton candy roamed the streets of Auburn between September 23 and 28. The DeKalb County Free Fall Fair aroused the interests of the Barons. Many showed their pride as they represented DHS in various ways. The Baron Brigade marched its way to the top, taking it all by bringing home the towering Sweepstakes trophy for best all- around band. Another DHS favorite is the Swing Choir. Their singing and dancing brought many Baron fans to the Court House lawn for Wednesday evening’s competition. It was DeKalb’s Swing Choir at its best in red and black at the fair. Two juniors were in the competition for the Miss DeKalb County crown. Kim Yates and Georganna Cobbs gave it their all in Thursday night’s pageant. For everyone else, the fair meant lots of fun and entertainment as they walked the streets of Auburn, enjoying all of the sights, sounds, and smells that mean its fair time in DeKalb County. 4 (Top) Tonia Wagner and Lyn Synesall don’t seem to ‘ Getting ready to leave his “dodge-em” car, Ron have won any prizes yet as they pause in front of | Snavley laughs as his work of smashing into other the ever-popular dart game. cars has brightened his day.
