Human history has wait- ed many thousands of years for this glorious, awesome age that man’s surge into space has brought into being. We are grateful that we have the privilege of being young when it has begun to unfold. We don’t know why man has been so long, however, in awakening to the enormity of problems of his own creation and the closeness to the brink” his narrowness, selfishness and apathy have brought to his only home, the Earth. Rehabilitation of both mankind and environment is now the whole world’s most neces- sary and urgent undertaking. We are re-evaluating what is really sacred and meaningful and aim our goals accordingly 4 And our Happy Revolution is one of peace We must learn to conserve our environment Ad We want to propel happy age into being ... 8 There are many promis- ing signs in this new age just dawning. We call it the age of “A Happy Revolution” because we and thinking young people everywhere, we sincerely believe, are go- ing to unite all their spiritual, mental and physical strength in days and years ahead to bring about the most whole- some, delightful era the world has ever known. ...And expedite a peaceful renaissance for mankind 9 ONE OF MANY typi- cal council meetings at which students worked out worthy school and communi- ty projects. Student Council boosts service, useful activities 12 The Council is always the action and the chief work horse behind every worthwhile student endeavor and did an especially fine job of its White Christmas project, helping a number of families to have a good Christmas. It enjoyed thoroughly entertaining students from Kiel, Wis., who visited here and in exchange, some 30 DHS students are making a bus trip to Kiel the end of April. That is a first for DeWitt High, and students hope another exchange can be arranged for next year. COUNCIL OFFICERS John lorick, vice pres., Willie Turner, pres., and Chris leibrock, sec., salute the Flag in respectful loyalty. Every assembly opened with salute and The Pledge of Allegiance.

JOE SHACKELFORD Sponsor 13 Raindrops fell, but Alumni Day brighter than rainbow ... DeWitt High’s big day was sunny and gay in the auditorium, although clouds loomed outdoors, as Alumni Day royalty took the stage in grand form, as Vickie Braswell was announced in a breathless moment as the new queen, and Dena Alter as maid-of-honor. Raindrops fell on pre-game cere- monies at Dragon Field, hut they didn’t dampen spirits one bit, and Dragons fought the tough Mar- ianna 1 rojans to a zero tie.

Archeological club excavates ’untouched’ site Linking hands with the past has been a fascinating and rewarding experience for a group of DHSers who make up Arkansas County’s first young people’s Archaeological Club. During the winter and spring, in addition to their regularly programmed study, they have made periodic trips to a previously untouched but important ancient site on Indian Bay east of St. Charles, where excavations have turned up numerous and valuable artifacts. Leading their digs is Burney McClerkin, archaeologist, of Pine Bluff, and DIIS science teacher James Jackson, who is club sponsor.

It is also a service organization, and Betas are seen doing all kinds of projects all year long, from cleaning the trophy case to sponsoring Career Night and special as- semblies. Betas encourage fellow students to excel, and as a result, DHS is seeing more and more graduates list- ed in the honor bracket. MEMBERSHIP certificate is presented by Diane Holt to Virgena Oates, photo left, and above, Karen Elrod explains Beta key in assembly as Prexy Robert Prescott looks on. 22 More high school graduates arc be- coming interested in the teaching professions, and encouragement of Future Teacher programs and other FTA activity has much to do with the trend.

DAVID EAST SUPERINTENDENT'S DESK is just about the busiest in town. Caring for the educational needs of all the dis- trict’s children is a vast responsibility, and the DeWitt system is fortunate to have the progres- sive leadership and dedication to the education- al enrichment of young folk that is found in Superintendent East. In addition to his heavy school schedule, Mr. East works in Chamber of Commerce and other civic groups for the betterment of the community. MR. EAST visits the high school often and talks things over with Principal Hudson and Asst. Princi- pal Denton. -■ UNDER THE FINE guidance of these men who make up our school board, the district enjoys one of the most up-to-date educational programs in Arkansas. Working hard to see that DeWitt schools meet the highest standards in both physical plants and equipment and in its academic program are Dr. John Hesfir, secretary; Ed Coit, vice president; John Simpson, president; Stewart Jessup, Webster Hillman and Supt. David East, seen here at the February board meeting. Mr. Simpson is retiring from the board this year after five years of faithful service. Floyd R. Hall was elected to fill the vacancy. School board seeks 'best’ for DeWitt system The busiest people in a community arc usually the ones found giving of time that they really do not have to spare in services so necessary and so valuable — and so it is with our school board. They give many hours without a cent’s pay — and most of the time without thanks — to keep our schools going, our educational program up- dated, and the educational needs of the dis- trict’s youths well supplied. Valuable administrative assistant ABLY DIRECTING the district's federal pro- grams for the sixth year is Joe F. Cham- bers. These programs assist many students in numerous ways and makes attending school easier for them. 39 PRIN.

I AND HERE'S our dear old Alma Mater, sprawling DeWitt High Assistant principal aids expanding program CARROLL DENTON BECAME DeWitt High's assistant principal this year and shares the principal's office load. He also serves as basketball coach. 41 Us THERE IS always valuable information on schools and vocations on display in the counselor's office for students to browse through. Counselor helps students plan for future The counselor spends her time helping stu- dents solve school and personal problems and preparing the young people for meaningful futures. During the year she gives various mental, maturity and achievement tests and college-entrance exams for the college-bound. She assists worthy students in obtaining schol- arships and grants. One of her most rewarding tasks is in helping students to become aware of their potentials and in encouraging them to take the next right steps toward higher learning and vocations. MRS. MARGARET ANDERSON came to DHS as the school's new counselor last fall and has really become the stu- dents' friend and aide. High School secretaries EVERYONE IS familiar with the faces of DHS's efficient office as- sistants, Mrs. Marjorie Hornbeck and Mrs. Louise Cotner. Every day is a crisis in the principal's office in one way or another, but this pair moves so smoothly through each one—like miracles have taken place. We appreciate them. School offices busiest places in town Central office personnel CENTRAL OFFICE personnel includes, upper left, Mrs. Mary Jean Stark, bookkeeper, Mrs. Shirley Dillion, receptionist, lower left, and in the Federal programs office is Mrs. Mona Hagan, secretary-book- keeper. Administrative offices in the school system are never dull, and it takes speed and efficiency to keep up with the fast-moving clock. 43 to learning Academics 45 Spacious resource center hub of high school Whether reading for research, to supplement studies or for one’s own enjoyment, students find the library a storehouse most valuable to them. DHS library is one of the state’s finest high school resource centers, and Mrs. West manages most ef- ficiently her big operation. In addi- tion to a mint of reading and refer- ence material, the library maintains a large collection of recordings, re- cording equipment, magazines, newspapers and other materials use- ful to searching minds. TYPICAL EVERYDAY scene in the library. 46 HEADING THIS YEAR's Library Club are Robbie Hester, secretary; Needra Elrod, vice president; Dana Dumond, president, and Karen Elrod, reporter. Library Club performs many services SCENE AT Library's annual Book Fair. Library Club members are of valu- able service as library assistants the year around. They are continually engaged in projects and programs to promote library use and to em- phasize the value of good books, of readying and studying as a chal- lenge to fellow students to higher educational pursuits. Active in re- gion and state library groups, sev- eral DI IS student librarians hold region offices. 47 MRS. ELLEN WEST Librarian-Sponsor MISS MILLER'S Freshman English classes set the stage on which students will progress for another three years. As English students apply themselves, they Just as a house that stands must have a good foundation, so must the high school student acquire a good founda- tion in English. DeWitt High’s English Department provides as complete an English-literature program as can be found in a high school, and it is pre- sented effectively by the department’s efficient staff. When students are working on themes, tough grammar lessons and sometimes hard-to-under- stand literature, it seems a rocky road —but they usually make it.

They compose the basis of all mathematical systems and whether used in space-age calculating or going to town on a shopping trip, they arc most necessary to life. Of course, for some DHS- ers, math can become pretty complicated and frustrating, but a good math student has a background that will make higher edu- cation and life itself a lot easier. DeWitt Highs math depart- ment is designed and equipped for utmost efficiency, and its teachers make the courses stimulating to eager minds. JOE SHACKELFORD Gen. Math, Alg.

LISA McCALLIE and Tommy Ruffin review illustrated historic events. Social studies concern record of man and deeds .. As the social sciences explore the past, present and future, they have acquired vast new proportions as the space age has progressed, for it has placed man and mankind in an entirely new spectrum. At DHS social studies are geared to that, History, geog- raphy, civics, governments, politics have all taken on new importance. So have democracy, and everyday living, man’s future and his environment. Wide-eyed about recent successes in space, youths are eager to expand their learning beyond their planet — and yet at the same time learn how they can make Earth a better place for future generations.

Nurse’s clinic real service to school What would we do without our Nurse’s Station? Mrs. Hasty, the school nurse, has a tight schedule between the schools but is always there when an emergency or other need arises—even to teaching health education groups and showing films —or to give aspirins and apply band aids or whatever. Other valuable services recognized PREPARING lunches for hundreds of students every day is a big task, too. Mrs. Lily Duncan and Mrs. Alta Bell Adams are seen preparing meal, and Mrs. Jack Adams and Mrs. Patsy Brown are ready to serve hungry students. THE BIG BONFIRE and burning of Ricebird effigy is great moment for Dragon fans. Autumn madness begins with grid season Dragons had one of their finest football sea- sons last fall, chalking up 8 victories, one tie and one heartbreaking loss—to their tradition- al county rivals, Stuttgart Ricebirds . . . And it was a tough schedule, too, but the Dragon team was a real unit and came out with seven All-District and one All-State players . . . The school spirit was at its best this year, too. Students and folk all over the community played a tremendous supporting role. 136 DRAGONS' ADMIRATION FOR their Coach Sam Cook depicted as they carry him off the field in a triumphant moment.

Dragon cagers gallop through heavy schedule Basketball took on new emphasis with bigger and noisier crowds this year and DHS boys and girls on the courts gave their fans some real thrills. They were in the win column part of the time, and lost some games, too, but the season is recalled as one of the school’s best yet. TOP REBOUNDERS in one of early Dragon-Wolf games were Gary Hudson and Elmer London. 146 AT LEFT LONDON jumps high for another 2-pointer; above.

Events hadn’t gotten under way yet when this yearbook went to press, but the boys were eagerly looking forward to their opener at Carlisle March 12. 152 SPRINTERS were Rocky Horton, Billy Freeman, Denny Hearn, Robert Flowers, Terry Fowler, Larry Childers, Robert PeeWee Fox and, not pictured, John Lorick. DISTANCE RUNNERS included Lloyd Kearns, Sharky Lecroy, Jerry Brands, Mike Bosma, Walter Hillman and Denny Hearn.

Dragon staff’s big job--interpreting 'The Happy Revolution’ among DHSers With snacks, cold drinks, enthusiasm and ideas “off and on” the Dragon staff toiled all winter long to produce a yearbook worthy of the grand bunch of teenagers and their school, all of whom (and which) are a part of the new “Happy Revolution” which seems to be evolving in our country . . . Deadline pressures midst oodles of problems encountered along the way tried staffers’ patience and frazzled nerves as only those who work on a yearbook can know, but the joy of seeing the 71 Dragon mold the pulse of our school into 192 pages has been reward enough. PLANNING SESSIONS called for brains! Ideas! How could 1970-71 DHSers' personalities and life at DHS be summed up? How could a theme that would fit all be drawn from such a mixture of young human- ity? That was the big task for Editor JoAnn Carter, left, and committeemen Dena Alter, one of the mg. eds; Dana Cazort, bus. mgr.; Becki Hampton, student adviser; Sharon Hudson, another mg. ed., and Vickie Braswell, assoc, ed. CROPPING, getting all photos in the right places, hundreds of photos, took some fig- urin'. Workers here are Sandra McSwain, Karen Elrod, Jean West and Nina Wisdom. 154 FIRST, we figured, we'd learn all about mixing chemicals and developing our own film and photos. That way we could save money. Mr. Jackson, back to camera, science teacher across the hall from journalism room, offered his storage room for the photo workroom and got us started. But we did so much goofin' off with our picture-makin', it didn't help our budget a bit. We had fun, though, and learned a little. Darlene Duncan, Becki Hampton, Carolyn Jamison, Jean West, Gail Neal, Don Brown and others wait in line to print their first pictures. Deadline countdown our biggest booger BUSIEST GALS around DHS were (at left) photog- raphers JoAnn Carter and Dena Alter, who kept the cameras snapping on every occasion, and on many non occasions—any and everywhere photos were to be made. Others helped, too . . . Above, Trudy Hatch, Diane Holt, Carolyn Jamison and Darlene Duncan check students' names and label photos according to classes. 155 FINAL COPY mailed today! Glory be!
