It looks good! Yeah, it does. Did you know this year there is a new football stadium and a new gym? Yeah, | also heard that we have new teachers, more classes offered such as Bowling, a one hour Auto Mechanics class, and Dance II. Oh, and guess what else is new? Is it the new freshman class? Well, besides that. Now, we're moving into the big time, we're 5A! There are two sides to any situation and when DHS moved into SA there were definitely adjustments! Not only did students have to pay to park in the school parking lot they had to pack themselves into an overcrowded gym while the new one was still being repaired. Even, the seniors were deprived of their own lunchroom! But, the good things did not even compare with the bad. . The rise of school spirit was a surprise to most, but it was Alive and Well . Not only did students participate in skits and chants but the faculty did, also. Sports competition was exciting and new moving into 5A. DHS was faced with new rivals as well as old ones. The addition of the new stadium increased excitement for football and motivated the players. Also, with the convenience of the new gym, attendance rose. Along with restrictions such as House Bill 72, No-Pass No-Play, which eliminated some people in extra-curricular activities for six weeks, were good seasons and new friends. Even though DHS grew rapidly, it did not lose its warmth and friendliness. We made new friends and participated in the new classes offered. DHS definitely MOVED INTO THE BIG TIME. reetemeseinstssonsisneeseenseeseeee tease by Brooke Orr and Kim Walker 2 Opening Page ¢ At a home basketball game, Senior Frankie Vitullo expresses his feelings ona bad call.

Opening Page 3 Moving up to 5A changed high school for most of the student body, and to others it was all brand new. Not only did we cry with each other like at graduation of the senior class but we laughed with each other, too. Getting involved was what Student Life was all about. Whether it was getting involved in school activities such as sports, participating in a club, fixing a car by yourself, participating in Air Guitar, playing powder puff, raising your own calf, or hanging out on the weekends in the Safeway parking lot. It was all Student Life. SA not only meant harder competition in sports such as Duncanville or Irving MacArthur but moving into 5A affected all of the student body. We faced new and more challenging curriculum in English, Math, and Science and conquered it well. We were all in it together when DHS MOVED INTO THE BIGHIMEs SSS by Brooke Orr 4 Student Life Division Page Summer 6 First Day of School 8 Pep Rallies 10 Homecoming 12 State Fair 14 Miss Flame 16 Orange Bowl 18 Weekends 20 Air Guitar 22 Elections 24 Eagle Honors 26 Powder Puff 28 Senior Week 30-33 Prom 34 Graduation 36 Dressing up for school spirit is what student life is all about.

For some this summer was a working experience, and yet for another group, basking in the sun in exotic places was the curriculum of the summer. Island retreats and popu- lar getaways again proved popular to not only students, but to teachers as well. “T went on a cruise to Barbados, St. Thomas, Vir- gin Islands, and Jamaica with a single’s group. The trip was a lot of fun with GETTING READY to go have fun with some of their friends, seniors Paris North and Danny Walker make one last pause in front of the mirror. Photo by Jeff Landwehr only one minor drawback — I got a tremendous sun- burn,” coach Jeff Hilburn said. While a lucky few vaca- tioned, those students in- volved in extracurricular ac- tivities had to start in the heat of the summer. “Two-a-days killed me,” senior quarterback Greg Motl said. “They were very strenuous workouts and I am glad they only lasted three weeks.” “Between drill team prac- tice, officer camp, line camp, and fundraisers, I had very little spare time, but that’s alright because the rewards really pay off when football season perfor- mances were very good,” senior lieutenant Shannon Walker said. Whether it was a real va- cation, though, or just a va- cation from the books, stu- dents did find that summer was special in some way. by Jennifer James Summers 7 8 First Day hat do you hate most about the: first. day ot school? 1; getting lost 2..coming back: to school AS A start for the first day of school, senior Shawn Cambron goes through a routine most stu- dents do, ending with brushing his teeth.

While some students had trouble finding newly built classrooms, others had trou- ble finding their lockers, es- pecially when they got one of the extras that was not in the class hall. But being lost wasn’t the worst part of it. The scariest part of the first day of school for most ALTHOUGH SCHOOL has just started, yearbook staff member Teresa Mooney started working on the yearbook before school started and is already checking pictures for a spread. Photo by Randy Von- derheid of the students was to find out that they did not have any friends in any of their classes. Walking into new classrooms hoping to find a friend or a familiar face seemed to be the exception rather than the rule, espe- cially with over 1,700 stu- dents in school. Sophomores were excited to come back to school be- cause they moved a notch up that ladder, and although they were still underclas- Beginnings don’t al ways : leave best impressions men, they were happy not to be freshmen.

Probably the biggest change was the move to the new gym which gave stu- dents more room to cheer. Besides the normal methods of spirit-raising, which in- cluded drill team dances, cheerleaders, flag corps, drum corps, band, and Showstoppers, teachers got into the act-literally. Weekly assembly sees changes Faculty members, led by English teacher Mrs. Susan McDonald, began perform- ing skits each week that per- tained to that week’s theme. Not to be outdone, the seniors took over the skit at the last pep rally and per- formed in a circus atmo- sphere. Finally, a new tradition began with pep rallies, the basketball season opened with one. All in all, this was the year that “pep” was back into “pep rally”. by Jennifer James “Senior Circus” Todd Rudsenske and Chuck Brizius make a special ap- pearance as the Tiger twins from Mansfield, the opponent for the night.

Western Day on Tuesday, Fabulous Fifties on Wednesday, Nerd Day on Thursday, and “Spirit Day” on Friday closed out the week. Also on Friday, the Homecoming pep rally was held at new Eagle Sta- dium, adjacent to the school. The highlight of the week, in addition to the exes re- turning, was the game itself. This was the first real test of the Eagles as it was the first district game against new 5A opponents. The team stayed with the opponent, Irving, until the very end, losing 12-14. The game it- self ended in controversy on a referee’s judgement deci- sion concerning a_ kicked ball. Surprisingly, the most ex- citing event of the week turned out to be the Home- HOMECOMING COURT winners include: freshman Cher Harris, junior Amy Under- wood, former Homecoming Queen Cami Adoue, new queen Sarah speaks, and sopho- more Andi Hopkins, with their escorts.

The drill team decorated the dance with Christmas lights and hired a local disc jockey. Probably the biggest change, and the one that helped the most, was the change to a Satur- day night dance, a move that gave all a chance to re- cuperate from the Friday night ballgame. At the dance the nomi- nees and Homecoming Court were recognized: Queen Sarah Speaks, fresh- man princess Cher Harris, sophomore princess Andi Hopkins, and junior prin- cess Amy Underwood. Oth- er nominees included: sen- iors Paris North and Jill Knight; junior nominees Brooke Orr and Melissa Cambron; sophomore nomi- nees Jondi Prewitt and Traci Speed; and freshman nominees Jenny Minter and Julie Miles. by Jennifer James AS THE Homecoming Queen is named, freshman nominee Jenny Minter and her father escort, Mr. Price Minter, watch her excite- ment.

This is Big Tex and welcome to the Texas State Fair” was the annual common sound heard at the State Fair this year, the fair’s 100th birthday. To celebrate this festive occasion, and to celebrate the state’s Sesquicentennial birthday, the fair stayed open another two weeks this year, staying open for 45 days rather than the normal 30, with many of the same rides and exhibits to keep their interest. One of the more interest- ing included a copy of the Magna Carta, and others in- cluded a special exhibit of Japanese culture. However, many of the students who went found it to be just like it is every year. FREAKS DRAW attention al all fairs, and sophomore Stephanie Melton’s attention is drawn to one at the Texas Fair.

Photo by Jennifer James “It was crowded every- where you went and it stunk,” complained sopho- more Robyn Buford. “T think the whole thing is a big ripoff?’ sophomore Paul Leigh said. Maybe having fun at the fair depended on who one went with to the fair. “T went out there with a whole group of my friends and I had a blast!” said ju- nior Brenda Williams. “Me and my boyfriend went and I loved every min- ute of it,” sophomore Jenni- fer Evans said. Whether it was eating or drinking, riding rides, or looking at the animals, the State Fair was sure to be an experience for anyone who went. by Stephanie Melton % FIREWORKS LIGHT up the sky each night of the Sesquicentennial year of the State Fair.

This year, sponsors of the event, the DeSoto Fire De- partment, decided to have all the ex-Miss Flames at- tend the event, so they went back and invited all of them. Each was recognized dur- ing the competition. Ac- cording to the first Miss Flame, the pageant had changed tremendously — she volunteered to become Miss Flame. Now, with over 40 high school girls competing for the title, the contest had be- come quite prestigious. The 46 contestants were judged on an essay, inter- view, informal and formal modeling, and overall ap- pearance. “Before they announced the winners, I was really ex- cited and eager to find out who the winners were not thinking I would be cho- sen,” said junior Wendy Pauken, fourth runner up. Other winners included: Miss Flame, Paris North; first runner up, Amanda Riggs; second runner up, Becky Moody; and _ third runner up Zoe Pennington. Dena Adams was named as “Miss Congeniality” to concluded the night’s win- ners. er WHILE EMCEE Ray LePere summarizes her activities, winner Paris North listens quietly.

W atches set — 4, 3, 2, 1, — the bell rings — the weekend begins. Two days to sleep late, stay out late, and to let loose. “Weekends are a time to let loose and let out the en- ergy that’s been bottled up all week,” sophomore Dan- ielle Mullen said. There was always some- thing to do. For some, a quick trek back to school was the first activity of the weekend. With football, basketball, and baseball games all on Fr iday even- a CZ ings, many watched as friends and classmates worked to help make DHS winners. Saturdays, though, were another story. With a vari- ety of restaurants on McKinney, Knox, and Greenville in Dallas, food was taken care of, and with the new West End Market- place open, more activities were available. Dancing, al- ways a favorite, were for those daring enough to try to get into Amnesia, who al- lowed 18 year olds to dance, but not purchase alcoholic beverages. Finally, on Sunday, came church, afternoon, relax- ation or a part-time job, and HOMEWORK! “T usually do my home- work around 8 o’clock on Sunday night,” freshman Sherri Flanagan said. by Jennifer James GOING TO the movies is a big part of the weekend, and after ju- nior Jason Humphries sees the movie, “Crocodile Dundee”, he goes hunting for his own crocodile. photo by Jim Hoenig Weekends 21 MANY TIMES a 3 a.m. phone call can interrupt a good dream, and junior John Whitmarsh doesn’t appreciate the interrup- tion, while Brian Stearns doesn’t believe it. photo by Jason Short Trip takes year of projects Ne one ever thought that ‘‘band’’ and “sales’’ would ever mean the same thing — no one until the band was invited to at- tend a prestigious event like the Orange Bowl Parade on New Year’s Eve. When the band received their invitation, they knew they had a major task in front of them — to collect over $150,000 in just one year. Although they had garage sales and other types of sales like that, the band knew that big money came elsewhere — maybe in pizzas where they sold thousands (literal- ly), maybe in working at Texas Stadium selling at a g0T0 HIGH SCH, EAGLE SR BAND snack bar stand during the Dallas Cowboy games and other games, maybe by sell- ing the students (for yard and housework), and even maybe by bringing in celeb- rities to help. Dottie West made an appearance in De- Soto for a concert with pro- ceeds going towards the band trip. Others contributed to the cause. Several local busin- esses donated thousands of dollars to the cause, and Oz- mun-Herring Subaru donat- ed a Subaru XT Coupe, to be raffled off during a foot- ball game. Miss Texas, who eventually became Miss USA, drew the lucky num- ber, a person in Irving who DE SOTO TEXAS , ee ce 22 Orange Bowl ONE OF the many appearances the band makes is at Epcot Center, and assistant band director Mr. Mike Ryan leads the crew through the park. photo courtesy of Mrs. Liz Grant had bought the ticket before a game at the new stadium. Finally, the money was raised and final plans were made. A few lost out of go- ing because of the no-pass no-play rule, but the busses rolled at 5 p.m. on Christ- mas Day, and headed to Florida. In Florida, rain fell on band members almost throughout the entire trip, but members still were able to make a 53 second appear- ance on national television while marching in the pa- rade. Finally the almost 200 members of the band re- turned after a 24-hour trip on New Year’s Day. by Jen- nifer James FRESHMEN JUST starting in the band during the summer didn’t know that they had a lot of work coming up, as Michael Harper finds out. photo by John Huffman AFTER LEAVING at 5 p.m. on Christmas Day, seniors David Bain and Craig Davis catch up on sleep lost while waiting for Santa Claus. photo by Jason Short THE ENTIRE trip to Florida seems like a merry-go-round for Brian Stearns and Christi Nicho- las, but both find time for enjoy- ment. photo courtesy of Shannon Baker is your 7 favorite song? |.

Negative feelings were often aimed at elections. “All they are are big pop- ularity contests,” said senior Jason Harden.

The Eagle Award was pre- sented to senior James Royse by the principal, Ms. Judy Moss. The school board then presented the graduates with their diplo- mas. Project Graduation, starting at 11 p.m. and end- ing at 5 a.m., was held at the Thorntree Country Club for the seniors.

So could, Beat those Panthers! since the school began a rivalry with a new opponent, Duncanvi lle. All sports, such as soccer, volleyball, and tennis were not always fun and play. It took many long, hard hours of work and dedication to the sport to have enjoyed it. Being involved in sports during the '86-'87 year was different than most other years. Playing teams that DHS had never played before, such as Duncanville, South Grand Prairie, and Irving Nimitz caused new traditions and rivalries to begin. In addition, changing to 5A brought on news rules that had been lenient in 4A participation. All sports were taken seriously, rather than just football. The step from 4A to 5A was a big step for the football team. We played better athletes and even though our record did not show it, we proved to the other teams that we were tough,” said junior Gregg Fisher. When most people say 5A they think of sports, but the addition of the new football stadium had a good affect on the season. It increased attendance as well as had better facilities to occupy the spectators. The new gym also had good side effects, the foyer was bigger and more spacious pus more beautiful surroundings for basketball lovers. olleyball also had a new place to be victorious. The school also received new tennis courts and the stadium supplied a new track and field, which also included soccer. DHS went into the '86-'87 year feeling apprehensive, but excited and full of pride and support. Being involved in such sports gave one a feeling of security and self respect. Plus, meeting new people was always a good experience. Doing as good as they did in the 5A system, with a football record of 3 and 7 and second place in a home tournament for the boys varsity basketball team, DHS was surely proud of its dedicated and sport loving students. DHS definitely MOVED INTO THE BIG TIME. by Brooke Orr 38 Sports Division Page Volleyball Football Cross Country Girls Basketball Boys Basketball Soccer ; Tennis Golf Baseball ; Track Spring Training Outside of School Sports During a home soccer game, freshman Dana Green stands on guard while freshman Cindy Smith heads the ball to the opposing opponent, Grand Prairie.

They completed the season with a combined record of 15 wins and 4 losses. The 15 wins included impressive wins over teams that had a history of winning. “We had strong backs, quick players, and we were fired up to play. They really didn’t affect us, either. Hardley anyone failed,” team member Mi- chael Mills said. “We had good coaching, we got to practice and play on the new astroturf field, and everyone want- ed to play hard since it was our first year in 5A,” said freshman Kevin Sills. The Junior Varsity, however, was overlooked due to the success of the freshman teams. Although their record did not show the hard work and deter- mination, it was there. On more than one occasion the team was beaten by a touchdown or less. “T don’t think our record showed our potential, because it was our first year in SA, and we had new coaches who brought new and different ideas,” commented sophomore Kevin Deehan. The teams were also split into two squads to give everyone a chance to play and to show their talents.

The team provided exciting weeknight and weekend entertainment. One of the bright spots of the early season was Charles Boyce. However, early in district play, Boyce was sidelined with an injury. At the end of the season, though, he still ended up scoring the most points of any player. “When I first got hurt I was afraid I would have to sit out the rest of the season, but I was lucky,” Boyce said.

Boys, Girls Soccer 61 Team begins building for future tudents believed that to start a tennis team, all that a coach needed were some players that wanted to play tennis. Building up a team required anticipation and patience to teach the skills. But some of the players believed if they could hit the ball, then they should make the team automatically and not have to workout. “It takes more than the ability to hit the ball than to be able to play tennis the correct way,” senior Robin Lundy said. When Coach Robert Greer decided to build up the program, some of his top varsity players had some problems that dealt with resisting workouts and believed that rules were strenuous. Coach Greer hoped that he would produce more top varsity players like senior Robin Cloud and senior Robin Lundy while he tried to build up his tennis program. “It will take a few years now but we were able to finish well off this past season,” Coach Greer said.

The Rangers finished their season in early Octo- ber in second place and only three games away from the divisional championship. With the leader- ship of Bobby Valentine, and the batting strength of Pete Incaviglia, Pete O’Brien, and Larry Par- rish, the Rangers stayed on or near the top all year. The Cowboys, once called America’s Team, slipped into the suburbs this year, when, for only the second time in 20 years, failed to reach the playoffs. The team ended with a record of 7-9. Coaches and sports casters making excuses blamed injuries and old age for the collapse. The Mavericks had one of their most successful basketball seasons ever, winning over 50 games for the first time in franchise history. That euphoria ended quickly as the team lost to Seattle in the first round of the playoffs. One Dallas team did make it to the champion- ships in their respective league, the Dallas Side- kicks of the Major Indoor Soccer League profes- sional league. The Sidekicks played Tacoma for the Championship. In college play, the SMU Mustangs were given the “death penalty” by the NCAA, thus eliminat- ing their football program for 1987 and 1988. the NCAA found many cases of supporters paying football players. Yes, the Dallas sports scene was like a roller coaster with its ups and downs, and although many of the teams finished the seasons going down, one thing was always certain — that roller coaster al- ways went up again.

The school year started with over 1,800 students. The freshman class, commonly known as fish, were the biggest class ever to come to the school with 514 students. The junior class had the second most with 436 students, next, the sophomore class with 434 students and last the senior class with 341 students. The first day of school was always the worst for freshmen. They walked through the halls asking anyone taller than them for room numbers. The rivals between the junior and senior class began right after spring break, March 16-20, starting with the first powder puff practice March 24. Eggs flying and water balloons splashing started off the battle of the classes that ended with hugs and handshakes after the powder puff game, which the seniors won, 2-0. Seeing many unfamiliar faces was a scarry thought, but new students eventually became friends. Finding that right clique and spending time to get to know each other occupied many student's leisure time. Whether it was football, basketball, or band people found somewhere to fit in. One thing is for sure though, the people at DHS wanted more than just a person without a name, they wanted friendship. DHS definitely MOVED INTO THE BIG TIME. by Brooke Orr 80 People Division Page Seniors 82-103 Juniors 104-117 Sophomores 118-131 Freshmen 132-149 Outstanding Boy sy 7. jf ay | andGrl = =—‘(t« SSKO 7-7 7; y?..3™ ‘Valedictorian and . : - ‘Salutatorian 152 Eagle Award 154 Paculty 156-161 Administration 162 School Board 164 Staff 166 Ne Year in Review 168-171 When the new sound of radio station Y-95 came to the school, many students gathered around in the west parking lot.

One of these occurred last summer. Last July Bridgette Keck was involved in an auto accident, which took her life. Bridgette was one of those spe- cial quiet people that always seemed to enjoy life, her friends said. She never really insulted anybody. She was always positive and smiling, they said. I always envied the dedi- cation, talent, and intelligence that made her one of the top Seniors (Walker-Williams) 98 honor students in her class, said senior and classmate Richard Ruane. During the Senior Day Awards’ Presentation, Bridgett's dad presented a scholarship in her memory. The recipient was Jeff Stricker.

The cost was reaching into the tens of thousands of dollars as the 1987 graduates were looking at options for their higher learning. With tha t in mind, the cost of being a senior was only a small amount, compared to college expenses, but seniors still were amazed at the costs. The year began with senior pictures, which cost on _ the average of $300. Other costs (not counting Senior Week activities) included cap and gown, invitations, and — senior rings.

Tickets to the prom cost $25 per person, but that was only a small amount. Flowers and the traditional hotel cost between $150-$200. Obviously, seniors ended up spending a lot more than they expected. I expected to spend about $300, but I ended up spending about $800, Shawn Cambron said. I spent about $225, senior Jill Knight said. One of the many items _ seniors purchased was senior memorabilia, including invitations.

We are sexy, we are great, were the class of ‘88’. ” This year the class of '88' finally thought of themselves as upperclassmen. Although they were not the oldest in the school, they did enjoy receiving more privileges as upperclassmen such as juniors and seniors often do throughout the school year. Such privileges were being able to participate in Powder Puff, receiving class rings, and being able to eat in the Junior Senior cafeteria. I think it's fun to be able to participate in upperclassmen activities because it's something you look forward to when you first start high school, junior Tabatha Moran said. by Barbara Walker O CLASS Bo Catching up on the latest gossip, juniors Sheri Allison, Chris Cooper, and Lance Vines talk about what happened last weekend. photo courtesy of Blake Sechrist Heather Adams Amber Adoue Laurie Aldana Carla Aldridge Jennifer Allen Sheri Allison Stephanie Alvarez Melissa Arronte Jill Bailey Danette Baker Jeff Barnes Jason Barnett carc_ Alex Bartlett Rodney Bates Marci Battles Julia Beck Jon Beeler Bryan Bell David Bell Shamondra Berry Kevin Beshears Lee Bierhalter Richard Binkley Kathy Birdsong 104 Juniors (Adams-Bierhalter) Cody Black Keith Black Ronda Blackwell Richard Bollinger Wendy Boubel Jerry Bow Pamela Bowie Jennifer Brashear Nyrhone Brewer Mike Briola Kevin Brown Jason Brumley William Brunson Anthony Bryant Amy Buckley Raymond Buckner Harold Burman Nathan Buttorff Melissa Cambron Devra Carmical Misti Carpenter Michael Carr Angela Carroll Todd Casciato Michael Case Joe Cearly Dan Christian Martin Clark 14 K.T.

Every year juniors had to write a research paper on American Literature. For most people, this was a nightmare because the paper took a whole six weeks to write, type, and perfect. This research paper either passed or failed a junior in English, because Junior Dennis Henderson tries not to let the nightmare of writing a research paper overcome him, so instead, keeps up in class with his notecard deadline. photo by Jun Hoenig it was one fifth of his final grade and was all graded on how well written it was. I don't really think I will accomplish anything by writing a research paper since my subject is over Negro portrayal in American literature, but I do hope to know more about my heritage through the eyes and thoughts of famous authors, said junior Ken Sparks. I feel very reluctant about doing a re- search paper, but I do feel that it can help me in college. This is why I am considering this paper as practice for the future,” said junior John Beeler. by Barbara Walker Vikki Garcia Christi Gaston Suzzette Gay Anthony Van Ginneken David Gladbach Richard Glover Susie Glover Brent Gorman Sheliy Gorman James Graham Sandi Graham Robert Gray II Tamra Gray Marla Green Mike Griffin Linda Grim Joanna Guajardo Alisha Gudgel Jennifer Hagenbush Patricia Haire Shannon Hall Ben Hamby Denise Haning Lisa Hansen (Garcia-Hansen) Juniors 107 Stacy Hanson James Harding Lori Harlin Alan Harper Jack Harper David Harrell Brad Harveston Kim Heath Dennis Henderson Joseph Henson Sandi Hernandez Jennifer Herson Jennifer Heunermund Pat Hickey Shelli Hickman Deena Hierholzer Katherine Hildebrand Freddie Hill Jim Hoenig Seth Hollenbeck Stephen Holley Lisa Hollingsworth Becki Holman aay Officers set goals This year Jason Brumley and Lance Dooley were elected officers for the class of '88'.

Juniors felt that they knew what the word, meaning, and experienced what respon- sibility was. As their first year as upper classmen these students entered into a whole different world where, for some, became the first time they felt a sense of being responsible for something. As a junior I feel we are responsible to show freshmen and sophomores how to act. Also we should show them which side of the hall to walk on during the first few weeks of school.

First of all, there were only six periods in high school, whereas, there were seven in junior high. Also in junior high students did not have the privilege of drinking soft drinks during lunch.

Others agreed that the teaching was more strict. It's a much bigger school but they are more lenient on the students, said freshman Sheri Crow. There is a lot more homework, but also a lot more people you can get to know, said freshman Michael Matheidas. Some are just glad to be finally out of junior high and into high school.

Excuses abounded each year, and this year the class could not participate in assemblies because there was not enough room in the aditorium to seat them.

T think they should consider us a part of the school and treat us like any other class. The sophomores are only one year older, freshman Kyle Freeman said. Kyle did have a point, so it was decided that the sophomores would not be able to attend the Senior Walk Day Assembly, May 29. There was another side of the story, though, especially pertaining to the Honors Asembly, December 16.

All of a sudden I was all turned around and did not know where I was anymore. Finally, I found my first period class, but when I walked in everybody was staring and talking about me. I wish all my old friends were here with me. Why did dad have to get transferred? Certainly, this is how most new students felt during their first day at a new school. Most found that after a while things were better. Being a new student is an 146 Freshmen (Willis-Zehr) experience! Coming from a small school into DeSoto is a real change, fershman Nicole Lake said.

She won several speech awards during her years in high school, and was named Miss DHS by her classma tes. She also served on the DeSoto Discipline Committee incorpor- ated by the school board. T felt so honored. Being named Outstanding Girl made me feel especially good because the tea- chers selected me, North said. Pigg held several leadership positions in several clubs, inclu- ding serving as president of the band. This award is one always to be treasured because the faculty selected me, Pigg said. The selections were based on leadership, involvement, and good attitude toward the school and community.

Jerome Nicolas and Brad Collins received the respective honors by achieving the highest grade point averages of all se- niors. Nicolas earned a 5.39 grade point average while Col- lins worked to get a 5.35 average. Both students, although relatively confident that they would receive their honors, were relieved when the announce- ments were made. Last year when I found out I was ranked first, I decided I'd better keep it up,” Nicolas said. I knew it was close,” Nicolas said. The announcement took a big load off my shoulders. Collins shared this feeling of anxiety. I expected it, but it's not official until they say the words, he said. You always have doubts until they tell you for sure.” Both Nicolas and Collins After earning the position of Salu- tatorian, Brad Collins has the oppor- tunity to welcome parents and guests to graduation. photo by Randy Vonderheid 152 Valedictorian, Salutatorian planned careers in engineering with Nicolas bound for Texas A M University to major in Aerospace Engineering, and Collins heading to the Univer- sity of Texas-Arlington to take on Electrical Engineering. B oth students took part in extra- curricular activities while in high school. Nicolas competed in UIL Science, placing second in District last year, and in Accounting, placing fourth in district this year. Collins participated in football, baseball, powerlifting, and several school clubs. both made speeches as commencement exercises. This was especially nice for Collins. There's all the difference in the world between second and third. At least being second, I get to make a speech,” he said.

Many times popularity was the answer. One selection was not based on popularity, though, and students had no input for the award--the Eagle Award, an award given by teachers for that student that best exemplified DHS. This year the teachers selected James Royse for the honor, and principal Ms. Judy Moss made the announcementand the presen- tation at graduation excercises. Royse earned the respect and admiration of his teachers in several ways. He was a trainer for the football, basketball, and baseball teams.

Almost suddenly though, spirit fell to the wayside. A call went out for help, and Super Spirit was summoned in the form of the faculty. The teachers all got together and performed skits during the pep rallies to encourage students to show more spirit. The skits the faculty participated in were intended to spark the students into showing school spirit. When the ‘students show pride in our school, we feel the honor those young people have bestowed on Desoto High School, stated English and Debate teacher Susan McDonald. The skits did bring more spirit to the students which showed during the battle cries © at pep rallies. School spirit isn't just for the students.

The six were sent to Alternative School, and the School Board upheld the decision of the school administration, and made the students remain in Alternative School. The six took the school district to court claiming they were not receiving the same education they would have received at the regular school. The courts upheld the ruling of the school district. As with every year, the Youth and Government club went to Austin for state competition. The group left on a Thursday and arrived back in DeSoto on the following Sunday.

The students confirmed in court they were able to consume some alcoholic beverages before the ADMINISTRATION dance, which was considered a violation of school regulations, since they were on a school sponsored trip. The Youth and Government sponsors called Ms. Judy Moss, principal, and explained what had happened. When the students returned to school they were sent to Alternative School for the rest of the school year. These stu- dents were all honor students and stated that they could not do the work without a teacher and equipment. A hearing was held between the students and the School Board. The students wanted back in school and all Senior activities returned. The proposal was denied from the Board, thus causing the students to file suit against the school district, and the students remained in Alternative School, although they were permitted to attend all Senior activities except for Powder Puff. by Kristin Hultgren As part of his new job, Athletic Di- rector Mr. Fred Hedgecoke checks on pep rallies. photo by Randy Von- derheid Watching the activities of the Mansfield pep rally, assistant prin- cipal Ms. Kitty Hickerson, coun- selor Ms. Linda Murphree, and principal Ms. Judy Moss check for anyone causing problems. photo by Jim Hoenig Shirley Cooper-Secondary Curriculum Coordinator James Daniels -Assistant Superintendent of Instuction Fred Hedgecoke-Athletic Director Frank Hibler -Assistant Superintendent of Student and Community Affairs Kitty Hickerson -Assistant — Principal and Senior Class Advisor Marvin Judah -Assistant Superintendent of Business Affairs Frank Moates -Superintendent Judy Moss -Principal David Robbins -Assistant Principal Rod Smith -Assistant Principal Administration 163 School board members enjoy one responsibility of their job, handing out diplomas at graduation.

The mothers of DHS, or the cafeteria ladies, cooked for the 1,800 students here everyday. These people sent aromas roaming the halls of the school each day as students got ready to munch in one of three thirty minute lunch periods. According to an informal poll, chicken fried steak was the favorite of the _ students, especially with the rolls on the plate with them. Hamburgers 166 Staff and french fries followed. Many students opted to make a full meal of french fries smothered in cheese, or nachos, or any number of snack foods offered by the ladies.

To start it off, the Statue of Liberty held her 100th birthday this year amid an array of fireworks that lit up a night sky to appear as day. The occasion also was celebrated on television by the whole world and representatives from several nations took part. It was something to be cele- brated!

Prince Andrew, a member of the British Royal family, and Sarah Ferguson were married in London, England, July 23. Many people woke up a 4 a.m. (Dallas time) to watch the marriage, which took place at Westminster Abbey. It was shown on television around the world.

The Reverend Jerry Falwell took over the organization. By May there were many ugly accusations and denials about activities dating back many years. In the Dallas area, the wife of the Reverend Walker Railey was seriously injured when someone attempted to strangle her. Railey himself allegedly attempted suicide one week after she was injured. I think it's sad that all of Christianity gets a bad name because of one situat ion, said senior Wayne Barnes. Thirty-seven American sailors aboard the Navy frigate Stark were killed in an attack by an Iraqi fighter in May. President Reagan threatened Iran with war if any more attacks occurred. It is sad that the lives of thirty- seven people were taken because of an accidental bomb dropped by a fighter jet, commented sophomore Chris Young.

Changes that ranged fgrom _ road improvements to the opening and moving of new businesses and the closing of some. Among these raod changes was a bond project that approved money to repair the two bridges that had collapsed within the last two years. These bridges, lo- cated on Westmoreland between Beltline and Wintergreen, collapsed presumably from age. This project also included widening Pleasant Run from two to four lanes from Chattey to 1-35. After a three year term Mayor Ernie Rober ts stepped down and David Doyle took his place. A controversy arose in the City Council races which involved the idea of a Caroline Gibbs or Roy Orr backed candidates. In the school board elections no one opposed the people run- ning, Shirley Sensel and Terry Gray. Gordon’ Roark ran unopposed in the place vacated by Larry Huckeba. DeSoto Creative Playground proved this year that a community can work together. Money was raised by various local businesses and _ organ- izations. Donations were even accepted from elementary school children who could buy a board . The actual construction was completed over the weekend of April 8-12 by over 100 volunteers. The result was a fun place for children to play and parents to spend time with them. The Creative Playground was a nice addition to DeSoto. It provides entertainment for not only small children but teenagers and adults alike. It was nicely constructed by citizens from all over DeSoto,” commented junior Naomi Frizzell. Also during this year, the While attending the awards banquet freshman Andy Avila and junior Jon Beeler talk about the local news. photo by Randy Vonderheid citizens saw the addition of a Holiday Inn motel in DeSoto. The Holiday Inn opened just in time to cater to many of the high school banquets and _ the Quad Cities Bike Race participants. It was real nice and I really enjoyed having my Spanish Honor Society banquet there, remarked junior Casey Rush. One negative note was the closing of the Safeway store on Pleasant Run. The employees were stunned by the termination of their jobs but the customers were satisfied when a week later the doors were reopened by Tom Thumb. A final change occurred when the DeSoto State Bank moved to join other business at the northern gateway on Hampton. These changes added a con- tinuous improvement to the city. by Lydia Frizzell The homemaking class took donations of food in order to feed the volunteers working at the playground. photo by Randy Vonderheid Year in Review 171 MAC ies aie addition of two wings gave students an excuse to be even more puzzled in the academic field. The small opening into the new wing was difficult for students to enter and exit. Getting into the new wing was like entering the eye of a needle but once there the knowledge was just as rich as the rest of the school. House Bill 72's second year of No Pass No Play seemed to have motivated students to work harder than ever to remain eligible to participate in extra curricular activities. No matter what a person was active in, he had to keep his grades up for one reason or another. Many extra-curricular activities such as Student Council, Drillteam, Cheerleaders, and various sports had grade checks every six weeks. When the activities were at their most stressing time most people's grades were checked every three weeks. All senior activities were considered social events therefore every senior got to participate. During the school year, students, no matter what they were involved in, applied themselves to their school work for future reference. Moving into 5A demanded more from students. Harder curriculums were tough to follow for Students and teachers, also.

High grades and high grade point averages were the goal of students who wished to excel. Some stayed up all night studying while it came naturally for others. Most often, students kept up their grades for many reasons. Some wanted the acceptance to respected colleges, some wanted the respect of their parents, some their classmates, and some just the self-praise that came with high grades was enough.

The areas ranged from English to Music. Because the topics are so diversified, a cross-section of the student's knowledge is tested. The subjects encourage a well-rounded student, not a whiz in one particular area, said the coach of the Academic Decathlon team, Mrs. Peggy Mooney. The study team consisted of 16- 18 students with A, B, and C averages, then narrowed down to the final nine. Those included: seniors Garrett Malone, James Royse, Jeff Stricker, Patrick Shugart, and Brian Steams. Juniors included: Ruth Ann Romero, Harold Burman, Jason Brumley, and Michael Reynolds.

Although all the students worked hard, long, hours they still found some time for a little play. I remember when we had our Own ‘war games’. We all had b.b. guns and ran around the halls shooting each other when only us and teachers were there, Stearns said. Another group of students that some people were not real sure of who they were and what they were all about was SOAR (Students Outstanding Academic Recog- nition). SOAR consisted of 16 students who had a grade point average of 4.5. The SOAR program was established three years ago to recognize those students who excelled in academic achievement, rather than athletics or other types of competition.

A few of those as- signments were the annual Phy- sics Egg Drop, the dreaded bug collection, cooking to represent the time of the Pilgrims, dres- sing in style of the 1920's, and some were even told to practice their bowling techniques.

However, on the high school level, students were being intro- duced to the other side of paint- ings and cameras. Some people underestimate the technical knowledge that is needed to take the best picture possible,” said Deirdre Feehan, publications photographer. If someone would just look around today, it seems everyone has a camera. With a little knowledge on what the camera can do and what the picture-taker can do to enhance that picture will make those pictures even more valuable as the years go on, said Mr. Randy Vonderheid, photography teacher. Being able to draw whatever you want allows you to get to use your own imagination on what you want to draw,” junior Mike Miller said. These classes played an important role in personal as well as school surroundings. Such work could be viewed in the newspaper, yearbook, and co- ver designs of programs, artistic drawings on school-related entry tickets, and even powder puff t- shirts. During the course of the year several art students had works entered in different contests and public displays.

A question which was often heard in the halls close to the lunch hour, and when they were filled with many different aromas. These aromas came from the unique Homemaking and Chemistry classes. I thought Homemaking would just be a “blow off class to have fun in, but we work, too, junior Heather Adams said. Homemaking was a class where guys and girls made many different things eat. They made many desserts such as chocolate cake, ice cream, and a variety of pies. Students also made full course meals while in Home- making. They made a Thanks- giving dinner and an enchilada dinner. Foods and Nutrition was a class which was taken by many students to leam more about the nutritional values of foods. They learned about how many calories were in different foods and about carbohydrates. We learned different recipes and how to balance meals,” ju- nior Trenton Thorne said. Chemistry also did its own share of cooking. Chemistry stu- dents cooked chemicals, com- pounds, and elements which fil- led the halls with their own aromas. “When we first started the labs the smells were awful, but we got used to it,” junior Kristi Williamson said. If there was an aroma other than at lunch penetrating through the air, at least one class was cooking. by Anita Herrera and Teresa Mooney What's Cooking 191 Since performing was considered extra curricular, many students had to put in extra time for studying.

Determination, dedication, and hard work (lots of it) were just a few of the ingredients of top results. It makes you feel good when you perform well, even if other people didn't think so, said sophomore Jennifer Evans, a member of the choir. An example of such groups were choir, drama, drill team, cheerleaders, and the band. Throughout the year musicals and plays were presented to the student body by the choir and drama departments. Many extra hours were spent by members rehearsing their lines, and many times members and directors were about to quit, but the invitation to play in front of a large audience spurred them on. Another important factor to a successful performance were the props and scenery. 192 Behind the Scenes Props help because it helps the audience understand what's happening, sophomore Eliza- beth Fugitt said. Even the Building Trades department helped in this sit- uation by helping to build se- veral of the heavier and more costly props. The high kicks and flashy dances put out by the drill team did not come just naturally, but by many long and painful hours. It was worth the long hours because it was fun being able to perform in front of everybody, sophomore Beth Dethlefsen said. The band had to start three weeks before school started, and sweated each day on the parking lot until 5 p.m. working to perfect their competition routine. Finally, the Stand Up and Holler and big smiles from the cheerleaders came only after bruised bodies and sore muscles brought on by the rehearsals of pyramids and cheers. by Anita Herrera and Teresa Mooney Uniforms enhance a performance for the flag corps, and senior Erin McElroy and drill team instructor Tammy Hines get those uniforms ready for the next performance. photo by photography class Amidst dreary weather, the Eaglette officers make their premiere performance during the Lancaster football game. photo by Jim Hoenig Tt makes me feel like a Star,” senior Dena Adams Dena and I are part- ners.

The teacher commented that this made his fourth tardy and consequently, a tardy would be issued. Being tardy was a pet peeve of many teachers just as detentions were to students. Teachers complained that tardy students caused them to start class late, thus not being able to cover all that was needed during that class time. Students felt that detentions for tardies didn't accomplish anything. Many students, too, felt that homework was unnecessary because if the topic couldn't be covered in class and be understood, then it should not be expected to be done at home. However, teachers differed on their ideas of homework. I think that homework is essential because there is not enough time in the school day to do the work that needs to be done, said English teacher Mrs. Becky Strange. Other teachers would rather give students an opportunity to work under supervision in _ the classroom and be able to ask questions, I don't think homework is necessary unless the student needs to do individual studies, or to finish what is not done in class, said Mrs. Susan Chastain, English teacher. Other pet peeves of teachers were when students argued in class, wouldn't ask for help, or didn't work when they were supposed to. There were also those little things that got on students’ bad sides. I hate it when teachers don't seem to have time for you and your questions, and also when people think they are too good for anyone else,” junior Wendy Ortmann said. All in all, students seemed to have an extra amount of pet peeves to go along with the extra amount of people, classes, and activities at school this year. by Gina Stalcup 4a Sleeping during class, demonstrated by Preston Byrd, is a pet peeve at the top of most teachers' list. photo by John Huffman Pet Peeves 195 students moaned.

Being involved helped many students get to know others and be familiar with their teachers. Being in various clubs such as Debate, Publications, and FFA, one had to be a member of the class, and in some instances some had to pay dues. Other clubs such as Drillteam, Youth and Government, and all foreign language clubs, one did not have to be a member of the class to be a member of the club, but for most part, dues were still needed. To many students clubbing was essential during their high school years. Moving into 5A brought a new crop of students to make clubs larger and more fun. Many clubs won awards during the school year and received recognitions for their accomplishments. As PASF (Pan American Student Forum) went to several competitions, junior Darrell Watson won the honor and responsibility of being president of all PASF's across Texas. In the journalism department, many newspaper reporters won awards at the Dallas Times Herald Day. These were only a few awards given to DHS students and many went unannounced. Various clubs played a large role in student involvement in extra curricular activities making the school year full of things to do aside from classwork.

However, many students did not consider spending their extra time beyond the gen- eral signing up. “Clubs take up more time than you would expect. But that’s the fun part, you get to know more people,” said sophomore Melinda Spillers. J oining a club meant be- Almost every organiza- tion required the use of spare time in class as well as out, whether it was the Quadrangle for Ag, or the long hours spent practicing for drama tournaments. “T really don’t mind the extra activities as long as I don’t have to spend too much time after school,” said sophomore Traci Thompson. Yet, the sacrificed hours IN ORDER to get the year- book in on time, senior Me- linda Roberts works over- time. photo by Deirdre Fee- han were appreciated by stu- dents in the long run. “T don’t complain spend- ing my time because being in drama is something I want to do. I feel when I really try at something I’m bettering myself and, like they say, practice makes perfect,” said junior drama member Lisa Testa. by Te- resa Mooney and Anita Herrera Overtime 203 204 Performances y WHILE THEY plot to destroy the guards, orderly Devin Pike laughs at the inmates, Trisha Haire, Janie Kennedy, Elizabeth Fugitt, and Sunny Todd, in “Chamber Music”. photo by Ran- dy Vonderheid ‘YOUTH AND Government members Ronnie Keating, Ken- ny Smart, Todd Rudsenske, Paul 4 Grupe, and Matthew Bayless re- view a Mandatory Police Officers Drug Testing bill at the district conference in Dallas. photo by Jeff “a Landwehr Chance to be a star Hours of hard work, dedication rewarding to active students t’s been said that there lez not bit parts, just bit actors. Here, performers al- ways put on great shows. “It’s great to perform knowing you're entertaining people. It’s hard work, but when you get out there in front of everyone, it’s all worth it!” said freshman Sherri Nelson. But performing was not always done on stage. Drill team members performed each week on the carpet of Eagle Stadium. “Being in drill team, you gain a lot of self-confidence and being able to be part of a good performance is like a pat on the back,” said junior drill team member Kather- ine Hildebrand. The Showstoppers, a se- lect group of choir students, also did their share of per- formances. In addition to presenting musical skits at locations such as_ banks, banquets, Cedar Valley Col- lege, and Red Bird Mall, they presented a musical to the public in May, “Bye Bye Birdie”’. “I remember watching the Showstoppers when I was in the eighth grade. I dreamed of being a Show- stopper as I reached high school,” junior Dannette Baker said. “Showstoppers is a lot of fun, but we spend so many hours rehearsing over and over until we reach perfection.” “When we put o ur all into Showstoppers, we receive what we deserve — the best in the state.” by Anita Her- rera and Teresa Mooney SSS ee y BAND STUDENTS sopho- mores Matt McKinney and Kim Stephenson rehearse the award winning performance on the new football field. photo by Jim Hoenig _ « What-was.your most. embarrrassing . performance? y “When«I performéd’at our first pep’ rally and I messed up..

Every year, many organi- zations sell items in order to raise money for club ban- quets and to be able to go on trips. “Fund raisers are very benefitting, but should be limited. However, the more money we raise, the less the kids have to dig into their own pockets,” said PASF sponsor Mrs. Susan Wrenn. Cashing in on it was the whole idea when it came to fundraisers. The Mr. and Miss Legs Contest, spon- sored by the Latin Club, en- abled them to attend the state convention, FHA (Fu- ture Hom America) sold Christmas ornaments in order to supply the home- making department with cooking and sewing materi- als. “Sometimes it gets irri- tating when you do not get back what you put in. Espe- cially when you put a lot of time into it and no one no- tices, or no one else tried,” said sophomore Jennifer Richardson. by Anita Her- rera and Teresa Mooney Money 207 Ria CELEBRATING THE end of the musical, “Bye Bye Birdie”, Alicia Goad and George Crenshaw brag about their performances. photo courtesy of Melinda Spillers k SERVING THANKS- GIVING-type food at a party during Mr. Nathan Archer’s History class, Ni- cole Lake, Jenny Minter, Heather Peters, and Susan Parrish act as_ hostesses. photo courtesy of Mr. Ar- cher 208 Parties 1 LOOKING CON- FUSED, sophomore Steven Brentlinger tries to put on his toga at a Latin Club party celebrating a Roman holiday. photo cour- tesy of Peggy Mooney PFE RR A SES cat bMS What was your favorite club. party? kk “THE « BAND � party after thee Duncanville game. was� so ‘cool because we danced, ate, and talked to everyone,” said. sopho- more Paul Hunter. fe RUERCN LNG AROUND ‘the hotel at . the Spanish Austin College Competition was a eblast!”’ said « sophomore « Danielle Mullen. “THE,” ONES”, there when we rode -home -on the -bus. after basketball ‘games.

Parties They help break monotony of school day he awakening alarm buzzes, your heart beats faster, and you sub- consiously question, “Could it be, just maybe, Satur- day?” Well, for the more lucky it was, but for the rest it was time to hit the books and get to school. Yet, not all hope was lost. The routine of the day was sometimes broken by a par- ty. Although rare, but not uncommon, students had a chance to actually have fun. “The best part is not hav- ing to do any work!” said freshman Robert Rodri- guez. The out-of-school pizza parties held by the Future Teachers of America oc- curred a few times through- out the year. “The club planned things for the state convention, that is when we weren’t eat- ing,” said sophomore April Nesuda. Holidays often were a good excuse to bring out the food and forget about “‘last night’s homework”. Wheth- er it was a Halloween, Christmas, or el Cinco de mayo (a Mexican holiday) Spanish students feasted. Although parties were a chance to enjoy oneself, they also were a ‘pat-on-the- back’ for students who made it that one more day. by Anita Herrera Parties 209 LEAR Q WHILE THE air con- ditioning is broken down in the school, sopho- more Kevin Bowers, senior Paris North, and junior Lance Vines escape to the cooler halls. photo by Jim Hoenig § GOOD FRIENDS ju- niors Jason Humphries and Darren Rylant make plans for the weekend. photo by Jeff Landwehr fo AT THE state Youth in Government conference in Austin, seniors Jill Knight and Dena Adams sing and play right along at the Marriot Hotel. photo by Jeff Landwehr 210 Friends con PET SRI LEAKE SLT GIANG, What qualities do’ you respect in a friend? fe SE RESPECT «my friends’ .most� because they trust me and will al- ways «believe. me,’ said sophomore Jason Earnest: “NOT TELLING my secrets..to ‘anyone;”” said junior Candy Spray: -ca )p ID fo “lL RESPECT that .they are “honest� and” keep things | tell. them to them- selves,” said freshman, Jen- nifer Holloway. Friends Students join clubs to find new ones, re-unite old ones C6 W J ill anybody join with me?’ or “Tl join if you join.” These were commonly heard as the school year started and or- ganizations swung open their doors for new mem- bers. However, as enrollment time neared, students had to decide whether they would or would not join a club, only “if? someone else would. : “TI don’t want to be in ‘ something by myself, it is no fun! Plus, I’d feel pretty dumb,” said freshman Kel- lie Anderson. Yet, there were those who joined organizations be- cause they were really inter- ested in pursuing their tal- ent. “T get support from fellow athletes for pursuing my goal in becoming a profes- sional athlete,” said junior Anthony Bryant. And still, there were those who saw organizations as a way to meet friends. “This is my first year in DeSoto so I didn’t really know anybody. But I like being in choir and I got to know a lot of people,” said freshman choir member An- gela Michel. Overall, friends were what clubs were made of, and they invite many, many, more. by Anita Herrera f WHILE WATCHING the Homecoming pep rally, seniors Brad Golden and Donnie Dew- berry discuss the outcome of the game. photo by Jeff Landwehr.

Bon voyage Club trips give students chance for fringe benefit CG ou only get out of it what you put in it.” For giving a little time to an organization, a fringe benefit might have been a vacation or “club trip”. Clubs took trips for differ- ent reasons. “The whole point of the Orange Bowl was to com- pete and have a good time. We competed, but we also went to Sea World, Disney World, and Epcot Center,” said sophomore Jeff Brock. Future = leachers-of America, Future Home- makers of America, and Youth in Government went to district and state conven- tions to participate and lis- ten to seminars on various topics. The drill team, drama club, and publications staffs went to competitions in San Antonio and Austin. The Orange Bowl in Florida was home to the band for a week. Athletes traveled as teams to different schools for games, meets, and tour- naments. Usually the trips were fi- nanced by students’ person- al funds, but sometimes fund-raisers helped out. “FTA state convention in ’ Arlington was free for me because I sold posters and stuff,” senior Alicia Goad said. Just because students were away from school, policies remained the same. Rules such as “No Smok- ing” were still very much in affect. Students were repri- manded in the manner out- lined in the student hand- book upon their return to school. “People know the rules when they go on a tr ip so they should mind them,” said sophomore Janine Phipps. Trips with friends in clubs were enjoyable learning ex- periences for students as well as teachers. “We heard speakers and ventriloquests. We had so much fun and everyone got to know each other better,” said Homemaking teacher Ms. Danise Witherspoon. by Jennifer James What is the most embarrassing event that has happened to you. ona trip? fie) “I COULD have gotten at least third on a Span- ish exam «since vonly: three people competed, but I was disqualified because I filled my nameé out wrong,.’ said junior David-Gladbach. © “WHEN I was on my band. trip, everyone was teasing me «because J .had been. sightseeing with Brad Faidley. all day,” said soph- omore Simona Thomas. , mneea4 “WHEN WE.were at an away game, J forgot. my basketball jersey. and was unable to play,” said sopho- more ‘Kent Collins: DB TEASINGLY MR.

It was like a celebration,” said junior drill team member Cheree Monk. Along with the banquets came the decisions of where to hold the “grand event.” A few choices were Plaza of the Americas for the band banquet, the Spa- ghetti Warehouse for Fu- ture Teachers of America, and still, the senior cafete- ria for the Future Farmers of America. However, it was not as simple as that. Students were still left with the task of finding the right thing to wear. The choices of “casual or fancy” were usually left up to the atmo- sphere of the restaurant. by Anita Herrera Banquets 219 i, Neon lights filled Hampton Road during the night hours. This is one way local businesses let customers know where they were and what they offered. By advertising, businesses let people know what each business had to offer, and what would make customers happy. By adding Advertising to the yearbook, businesses not only supported DHS, but helped themselves by being placed in a book that would continue their advertising year after year. With the advertising section, students could see some of the new businesses, such as Tom Thumb, Arby's, and Skaggs, as well as the established businesses such as Dairy Queen, Jostens, and DeSoto State Bank.

Every year we make certain errors that, no matter how hard we try to keep from doing it, it happens--leaving people's pictures out. If we did leave out your picture, we apologize. It was totally a mistake. We also would like to apologize to the following groups: JV, Freshman cheerleaders, PASF, Auto Mechanics, Building Trades, DECA, OEA VOE for leaving out their group pictures. We realized too late that the roll of film your groups were on was mistakenly destroyed. To any other group not mentioned we do apologize. This year was quite extraordinary for us as we were Pacemakers in the United States. We were the first staff to completely do our pages on computer and send them in as we did. This has caused our book to be a little late, but we feel that in years to come this process will eventually bring the book to us even earlier than before. % 5 Members of the newspaper staff are (first row): se Holla gawortt MiYoung Moon, Diane Bronar, Allyson Martin, Laura Briola, Tracey Layton.

A Note From The Editor I'd like to say thank you to the '86-'87 yearbook staff for putting up with my impossible deadlines. I'd also like to say thanks to the photographers for taking all the staff's slack and griping for pictures. And one last thanks to Mr. Vonderheid for putting up with our country music and silly conversations that made us 171 pages behind. No more rubbercement! The '86-'87 year was special to me and | hope it was for you, too. We had fun when it was other's birthdays but we also went through some trying times. What counted was we worked together! | hope you all had as much fun and a rewarding time | as | did.

Students payed $10 to park in the parking lot. 2. Students and players enjoyed the new football stadium facilities. : 3. Seniors had to give up their lunchroom to underclassmen _ - (juniors). _ . School spirit was increased with the help of the teachers. . The new gym occupied all of the student body. . The Honor's Coronation was held at night. . Juniors won air guitar, again. . Seniors won powderpuff, again. (2-0) 9. The valedictorian and salutatorian were Pol guys. ). It did not rain on Homecoming Day. . Some underclassmen had to share locke with seniors. . Sophomores could not attend the Senior Assembly. . The prom had a better turn out. . Seniors went to Wet-n-Wild for the first time. . Delci Beck and Wayne Barnes sang a song to the senior class at the Senior Assembly that Delci had written.
