Freshmon Tonis Townsend, Brerr Templin, ond Beth Bucsonyi catch up on the latest news and then head tor class. word defined as resistance to Rebellious. A an open authority. Every day, rebellion is pre- sent. Resistant behavior is common in most teenagers and ranges from leaving the trays on the lunch tables to underclassmen leaving campus for lunch. One of the biggest problems this year was vandalism. Graffiti, mostly profanity, was everywhere. The bathrooms were a picture of disgust. Smoke that was thick as fog filled the air. The clocks in the hallways were broken as soon as they were fixed. Teachers monitored the hallways and bathrooms and even the park- ing lots but to no avail. The extremely obstinate students were going to continue whether they were punished or not. They had a one-track mind. Every day students were wrirten-up. Sometimes they got in trouble with more than one teacher. The workers in the attendance office dealt with those troublemaking students every day. With thirteen weeks left in the school year, the number of discipline write-ups exceeded the entire 1985- 86 school year. Breaking rules is rebellious. Sometimes students broke rules because they felt that the rules were unfair. Eating and drinking in the halls, wearing shorts, bringing radios, and showing affection were the most often broken rules. A lot happened to cause rebellious action. According to assistant principal Mickey Barlow, Discipline problems were due to a loss of parental influence. Senioritis was in the air. The weather was warm. The beach became an afternoon hangout. As the summer neared and the school year came to an end, the rebellion too ended, only to start again in the fall. The people and events at DHS in the 1985-86 school year will always be remembered as IN- TENSE, BREAD, and REBELLIOUS.

Freshmen Lo Tosho Belcer, Vicki Jacquet. Peoches Anderson. Michelle Hill. Kim Hagler, Sharenda Williams, Karen Mark. Mono Davis, and Delia Jones outrageously srick together inside the walls of DH5 As everyone knows freshmen are unpredictable Unpredictable. The 1965-86 school year was definitely one that was unpredictable. Every personality in this school fits the description. The vatsity football team . . . The varsity football team shocked everyone when they did not make their usual Home in the Dome. Although the season was close, there was always that fragment of unpredictability. The vandalism in the girls ' restroom . . . The vandalism in the restroom this year was outrageous After the assembly for girls only, some students came to school wondering whether there would be a restroom open. Toilets stopped up and overflowed, mirrors cracked and shat- tered, garbage in the sinks, and grafitti everywhere left the custodians with an un- predictable attitude. The freshmen and others . . The various groups formed mainly by freshmen and others, left the student body wondering what will happen next? From lockers on fire and the Dickinson Nine, to holes in the walls and gang fights. Each and every one of these groups are unpredictable. Hairstyles . . . Hairstyles in the 1985-86 school year became a fad. The summer style, and winter for some, was that shaved-head look. Then came the half- shaved head look, and following close behind were the girls with certain tips col- ored in their hair. Each day a new hairstyle appeared. It just goes to show that people are unpredictable! Automobiles in the parking lot . . Each and every car in the parking lor had its own unpredictable story Senior Stephanie Wells said, My car Bessie Sue overheated on my way home at work at 10:30 p.m. and I had to call my dad. He was furious! Senior Alisa Guerrant said, My car, Marion, sounded louder than Ed Garner ' s bug one rime. And that ' s loud! Senior Carol Manning said, When I rook the keys out of my old car it kept running and I ran because I thought it was gonna blow up! The drop to 4A district classification . . . The 1985-86 school year will open in a new district. This change broughr a number of opinions. Some say that there will be no competition, and others say there will be more rhan is bargained for. The people, events, and misadventures at DH5 in the 1985-86 school year wil always be remembered as INTENSE DREAD, REBELLIOUS, and UNPREDICTABLE.
