Heel, toe, heel, toe. . . ” explains B.J. Buck- mann as he practices a dance with braves Steve Hall and Beaver Brinkman. (G) ' But B.J., here come the maidens!” Meanwhile, Princess Diane (H) patiently waits on her horse for the braves and maidens to join her. ”You 'd better hurry. I'm ready to trot, ” she seems to be saying. While spectators filled the streets, the gala event finally began. The bands play, guests are escorted, and floats arc displayed. This year an added attrac- tion was the alumni float (F) with several DSC alumni on board. The surrounding maples and evergreens re- presented the strength and growth of DSC. This annual parade is a DSC family tradition. We are a family! L X)k. . . the DSC cheerleaders! How bout a cheer? FIRE CRACKER, FIRE CRACKER, BOOM. BOOM, BOOM. . . (Now, who really believes that the guys have the muscles and the girls have the legs?) Mike Labrosse and Rod Gosline add excite- ment to a football game between the girls from Woods and DeLong, (E).

With the ever changing seasons, nature dis- played her beauty through the snows of winter, the springtime blossoms, the sun rays of sum - mer, and the painted trees of autumn, a sight to behold! Falling'' into another year, DSC celebrated its 65th birthday. To many, this celebration brought back memories of good times and good friends. To those attending DSC, this was a celebration of the years to come. Long live DSC—A school of growth and opportunity. September began with the homecoming ceremony. The Golden Moccasin Award was presented to John MacDonald and Mr. Paul Larson, in recognition of their significant con- tributions to students and alumni. To add to DSC spirit, Buster, the Blue Hawk mascot, made his own contribution to the cele- bration. Who is the man behind the hawk? None other than Tom Solberg (A) seen here revealing himself to the crowd at the home- coming football game as he takes a breather. This being a hawk isn ‘t all it's cracked up to be! After the crowning ceremony, chief B.J. and princess Diane rest. Last year's chief and prin- cess will join them later for the morning parade. Shannon Kostelecky (D) fends off the crisp morning air by wrapping herself in a Navajo blanket as she follows the procession. Shannon experiences the peace of walking through the streets on an autumn day!
