Its spire looks over Independence National Historical Park in downtown Philadelphia. •'•'WH V f rom the time the Old World began learning about the New which became America and The United States, harassed people began setting out for this land's shores. They longed lor freedom, particularly to differentiate between right and wrong, to think and to worship, to act on their convictions. They felt Cod-led in coming here. Because most of the colonists were English, Great Britain set claim on the land they came to. After long, painful struggle, the desire for self-government free of dictatorship from any other nation became the cry of all. So on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress formalized The Declaration of Independence, said to be the greatest document ever produced by the mind of man. For the next five years, the sound of cannons were seldom stilled. Britain was overwhelmingly superior in men and military power, but it didn't compare to the sheer de- termination and courage of American soldiers, willing to pay any price, endure anything for freedom which finally came with Cornwallis' surrender in 1781. Today Americans enjoy free speech, press, privilege of owning property, justice under the law and worshiping God according to individual conscience, thanks to our forefathers’ valor.

The Star-Spangled Banner O! say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming: Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming, And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air. Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O! say, does that Star-spangled Banner still wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mist of the deep. Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes. What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep. As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam— In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream; 'Tis the Star-spangled Banner, O! long may it wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. And where is the band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion A home and a country would leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave! And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the foe's desolation; Bless’d with victory and peace, may our Heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just— And this be our motto—“In God is our trust!” And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Francis Scott Key September 13-14, 1814 The Star-Spangled Banner still flies on both noisy and quiet streets throughout our country—and the Fourth of july is still a time for celebrating. The Flag, the Liberty Bell and other trusted symbols still stand for the same hopes and ideals our ancestors' set out 200 years ago, and which have proved sounder with each new challenge. And when Old Glory goes by, it still causes us to stand reverently straight, tall and proud. So proudly We hail Our country's 200th birthday! , ■■ CONTENTS Student Life Page 16 Administration Page 44 Curriculum Page 50 Sports Page 84 Classmates Page 102 Advertising Page 160 5 IWO JIMA Memorial in Washington, and views of the nation's capitol taken by Vickie Overton and Kay Freeman while attending national 4-H workshops last summer.

Roosevelt George Washington Abraham Lincoln THE STATUTE of Liberty in New York City's harbor is less than 100 years old, but this monument, another great symbol of the Land of the Free, was a gift from France commemorating her alliance with the United States during its Revolutionary War. It was a gift to mark the U.S.'s first century in 1876, but was not completed until ten years later. PERHAPS AS never before in the nation's 200 years is there more interest among young people about their wonderful country and its history than this Bicentennial year. MANY DHS students participated in Bicen- tennial paradeduring Arkansas County Livestock Show in DeWitt last fall. 7 1 -S I r DHS YOUTHS walk paths that early French walked in 1600's 5' ■;v . ABOVE, BEAUTIFUL lake at Arkansas Post National Memorial south of DeWitt, where Arkansas River's course once passed. At right, students read plaque telling part of Post's ancient history. First came the Spanish, then French explorers LaSalle, Joliet, Marquette, De- Tonti and others. The Post settlement gradually grew into a town, but after being destroyed during the War Between the States, it dwindled away. It continued a post office until the 1930s, however. The Post was the scene of a major Civil War battle in Arkansas in January, 1863. V Up 4 Our own region's History pre-dates That of nation's Arkansas County entered records of history 240 years before the U.S. became a nation. DeSoto first visited the county in 1541. Then after another 145 years, DeTonti's French explorers made the first white settlement in the lower Mississippi River valley at Arkansas Post in 1686. NEAR OLD Arkansas River bed stands a replica of a cross erected by LaSalle and his French companions at Arkansas Post in the latter 1600's when LaSalle proclaimed the area west of the Mississippi, in the name of his king, as belonging to France. He and his men held the first known religious service in the region (top left photo). At top right is pictured the oldest well west of the lower Mississippi River, put there by early French settlers. Plaque at immediate left tells more French history. Above, one of the park’s beautiful lakes. Symbols of Americana — How it was then . . . 10 Proud of our Hometown America... DeWitl's history dates back to 1853, when the County Court at Arkansas Post decided Arkansas County needed a more- centrally-located county seat. It is an ideal small town, surrounded by rich rice and soybean farmlands, with ample industry, economy, cultural and recreational at- tractions. Population today is around 4,700.

And cherish its Beautiful surroundings 'Faith of our Fathers'— Our most cherished symbol America's quality of life stems from its traditional faith in Cod. Our forefathers put into writing the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and Bill of Rights only after seeking spiritual guidance through much prayer. No wonder our government has stood the many tests of time and is today the oldest government still in existence in the world. President Ford in a recent speech before Congress pointed to the words In Cod We Trust engraved above the speaker's platform and said to the lawmakers and all Americans, Let us engrave it now in each of our hearts as we begin our Bicen- tennial. 15 Homecoming DHS' gala occasion The thrill and excitement of Homecoming was a suspended moment at DeWitt High Oct. 17. From among the six Senior class maids, the Dragon squad had chosen Shelia Spears as queen and Susan Anderson as Maid of Honor. It was a suspended moment when Master of Ceremonies Mike Wright made the long-awaited announcement in candlelight ceremonies at the high school au- ditorium that afternoon. Each maid and her escort marched to the stage for presentation, and after the queen and honor maid were named, there was musical entertainment and rousing cheers led by the cheerleaders. That evening prior to the DeWitt-Marvell game, royalty was presented on the football field.

The nation's Bicentennial has gotten the emphasis in club and special activities throughout the school year. Also outstanding was the December production of the all-school musical Li'l Abner, in which many students participated. Scenes from it are pictured at left and immediately below. Juniors present comedy The “little red schoolhouse, symbolic of education in the past, has long been replaced by consolidated big schools with their many buses, and school has dramatically changed with the years. But DeWitt is proud of its educational heritage. Education has been of prime importance to its citizens since the town was formed in 1953. By 1854, several homes had been built here, and classes were first taught in homes. Later the court house was used, and the court lawn in summer. Then other available buildings were used, including the churches. The first school structure was a log building located where the City Library now is. Later a four-room frame building was built on the SE corner of present Westside grounds, then the first high school in 1910, another in 1936. Now the town has five fine schools. SCHOOL OF 1910 with dome front is at top center of page. To its right is the beautiful buff brick high school finished in 1936, and immediately above is the pres- ent expansive red brick high school. Below are Southside, Westside and Middle School, and the bus stop at DHS. The 1910 school stood where Westside now is, and the buff brick high school was where MS is today. The system now also operates a kindergarten in a former church building on West Cross. Our School Board The district operates a big business that affects every facet of life, present and future. It is with that in mind the school board works hard to see the system gets the best within its financial means. Board members are, I. to r., Gary Sebree, vice pres.; Mrs. Elizabeth Graves, pYes.; Supt. Jack Jordan (standing); Calvin Aufderheide, sec.; and Stewart Jessup. SUPT- JACK JORDAN Superintendent at one of town's busiest desks At a time when young people's basic life patterns and morals are being established, they need right guidance to follow, and they have it in their school superintendent and administration. Nobody works harder for the excellence of DeWitt school system's educa- tional programs, and no one is more enthusiastic over goals yet to be reached than is Mr. Jordan, whose eye is on the future needs of local youth. It all makes our superintendent one of the busiest persons in the community, and we at DHS appreciate him. MR. AND Mrs. jordan joins Prin. and Mrs. Miles and others at student banquet. 46 The excuse stops here Mr. Miles' office is like Grand Central Station with students and their problems, excuses and otherwise, teachers coming and going, and stacks of work on his desk, but he handles it all and a highly-spirited student body well and is respected by all. A dedicated, capable and purposeful principal, his main in- terest is the educational enrichment of DHSers, and he works with the faculty at all times to maintain an atmosphere where students will enjoy learning.

AMERICAN HISTORY students take special interest this year in searching out the nation's past and its patriots. Here they observe bulletin board of Presidents' wives. At right, a group discussion in family living class. Wr Math, science break the impossible barriers Science is a word in today's world which becomes increasingly more important to every human being. Fields and new find- ings in science are as variable and as in- teresting and exciting as the world itself, and DHSers find ex- perimenting in this field fascinating. MAYBE MRS. Lepine's question is How do you know a ball of something headed for the earth will land at a certain place? Some would like to know. Others are interested in camera, too. LAB WORK teaches science students fundamentals by actual testing, as some of Mrs. Love's students are finding out. 64 MR. NEWSOM illustrates to math class how to put problem in right perspective. EVERYTHING in math is offered at DHS, where math programs are geared to fit students' learn- ing levels. This way more stu- dents can avail themselves of this necessary subject. And all know that good math knowledge will be one of their most valuable assets in life, whatever their fields of endeavor.

FFA Sweetheart and Beau Business Department offers varied training When thinking of business courses, one no longer conjures the mental picture of a sec- retary taking dictation. Today's high school business departments, as does DHS's, offer comprehensive training to young people interested in business careers. Almost every student studies some phase of commercial education while in high school, and many take advantage of all the courses offered by the department. SHORTHAND WRITING contest? Putting it on the blackboard helps one remember it, all right. SETTING TABS? Miss Burton sees that David Bennett and Marion Chambers do it right. 70 FBLA encourages young American enterprise HEADING FBLA (Future Business leaders of America) chapter this year have been Debbie Ellenberg, historian; Barbara Maddox, reporter; Denise Cope, president; Linda Jones, vice president; and Terri Scroggins, secretary. Future Business Leaders stress today's vocational opportunities and adequate and proper preparation for them. Numbers of students plan to enter the business world soon after graduation, and they find not only business training, but efforts of the FBLA group to better prepare themselves personally a valuable help.

In top, right photo, David Magness, vo-ed teacher, with students. STUDENTS CONDUCT practice interviews concerning vocations with one another. The Vo-ed program has been a blessing both to the school and to teenagers learning trades and supplementing actual experience with class- room study. Many local businesses participat- ing enable students to continue school while also preparing for gainful vocations. Mobil unit aids driver education In an area like ours where so many teenagers drive motor vehicles, driver education is a must. With the aid of one of the state's mobile units, would-be drivers get a lot of practical experience. Special Ed students develop skills Special education program is valuable in helping students who have learning problems. Mrs. Mary Nell Whitmore, who directs the program at DeWitt High ably helps each of the students to new levels of learning. GOOD WORK, Mrs. Whit- more seems to be saying as she checks student's paper. 7? Band thrills grandstands with Dragon music When one hears music vibrating from the big field south of high school and sees lots of pairs of shoes wet from early morn i ng dew, he knows the marching season is on and that Dragon music will be heard on home game nights from Dragon stadium as well. And what would the pep rallies be without the consolidated rhythm of the band. Then come parades and marching contests. After that the concert band gets down to business and presents public performances to pleased au- diences.

Then came a series of losses, to Dumas 28-0, Marvell 27-7, Star City 27-0, Brinkley 18-0, Dollarway 14-6, Stuttgart 26-0. The season was finished with ties 14-14 with Wynne and 14-14 with Marion.

Add that to Seniors' spirit, excitement and exuberance, and it tells a lot about the new Americans, coming into selfhood with aims and ambitions that can be fulfilled only in a country like ours.

Hi-Times efforts bring state, national awards Hi-Times staffers work hard to give DHSers and their families the news that is important to them. At the same time, they set goals and sponsor projects they believe will benefit all—like the Youth Safety Traffic Campaign, for which they won second place nationally last spring, and the patriotic emphasis this Bicentennial year. Publications record life, spirit of DHS It takes a lot of buzzing, too, and a lot of picture-taking and agonizing work to produce a yearbook that reflects the image and spirit of DHS and of the times. The weariness of the chore is, however, forgot- ten when the new Dragon, the yearbook, arrives. MAYOR JOHNNY Schallhorn signs proclamation declaring February Youth Traffic Safety Month in DeWitt in cooperation with Hi-Times campaign (upper photo) as Prin. Leon Miles and campaign co-chairmcn Mike Hornbeck and Charlene Fread look on. Center photo is of DHS journalists in National Wildlife Refuge, St. Charles, soaking in material for feature stories.
