IVINC CHILD UGH SCHOOL -f DIVINE CHILD HIGH SCHOOL IOOI N. Silvery Lane Dearborn, Michigan 48128 (313) 562-9058 1983 Clarion Volume 22 Changing Channels Happy 25th anniversary, DC! After a quarter of a century of programming, our school has continued to be the number one network. Sponsoring first rate classes and activities has been a life-long tradition. As we look back over the span of twenty-five years, we can see how programs have changed and how the ratings have soared. DC traces its beginnings to none other than Msgr. Weier. From an initial enrollment of approximately sixty students, there are now 875. When the school first opened its doors, there were only five classes from which to choose. Now there are so many that one couldn't possibly take all of them in four years. Since there was still no church, graduations were held in the gym, and the cafeteria was used for ail the dances. Changing channels over the years have included the most recent: Sr. Gerald handing over the role of principal to Sr. Christen. All of these changes are signs of continuous growth. 3 Mike Gallagher Kathy Klemczak Channeling Energy Most of the changes at DC didn't occur all at once. They needed a constant channeling of energy for the benefit of the whole school. With the support of a faithful audience, there have been additions of many new programs to the original listing. In 1958, the curriculum consisted of five classes, Latin religion, English, science, and algebra. As the years went on, the enrollment increased to 265 for three grades, and shorthand, typing, and chemistry classes were added. Throughout the '60’s, more classes and activities were introduced at DC. IPS, boys’ glee club, band, student council, yearbook, girls’ basketball and softball, and a golf team were added. The auditorium was also constructed, and in 1965 Sr. Gerald became the new principal replacing Sr. Vincent. In 1970, the original building of ten classrooms and two science labs was increased by eight new rooms and two more science labs. The auto shop and drafting rooms were added in 1970 along with the computer room and a larger cafeteria. DC’s history is rich in progressive accomplishments — spiritually, academically, and athletically. We are constantly moving forward and not backward. 5 Ratings Soar DC is 1 in the ratings for more than one reason. This tradition has been carried on for a quarter of the century. This school has been through many things, but has always managed to come out on top, showing its fighting spirit. The DC family has every reason to be proud of the mighty Falcon and all it stands for. Sometimes it seems that it is all one big struggle, but Big Red comes out a winner in the ratings - enrollment is ever-increasing, teams and clubs are winning awards and applause wherever they go. As the school starts into the next twenty-five years, there are things that must be reviewed. We started out small, but with the constant support we nearly doubled the size of the school. Like any star, we need our audience and avid fans. Let no one forget this and the school shall go on to win in everything it attempts. 7 8 Sneak Preview Real People students and staff Fifty Minutes academics BijDiff’rent Strokes clubs and activities Saturday Night Live feature Wide World of Sports Commercial Breaks advertisements 9 People Guide 8:10 a.m. I Administration - Meetings for discussion on school policies. 9:50 a.m. _2_ Faculty - Professors gather to share their philosophies on teaching high-schoolers. _3_ Service - Presentation of exceptional work done in the field of general maintenance. 10:40 a.m. _9_ Freshmen - Debut of a new series.

Principal for the last seventeen years, Sr. Mary Gerald was elected Superior General of the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters. Sr. Christen, head of the English department, was chosen to succeed her as principal. Despite a change in leadership, the 1983 school year was a grand success for the administration. Sr. Christen and pastor, Fr. Kucyk, quickly directed the cast of students to a year of academic and athletic gains. The students were reminded that although DC made it through the first twenty five years, the next ones are going to need the same strong leadership and cooperation. (3) (I) Freshman class advisor.

The ’83 DC faculty works with all students in much the same way. Through their innovative and extremely effective teaching methods, the staff has helped to strengthen the bond of unity between teachers and students, and has re-emphasized the importance of a tradition which everyone can be proud of—a tradition of winning. Once the cameras are on and the film is rolling, there is no turning back. It is now up to the cast and crew to take into consideration everything that the director has taught them, and to use their talents wisely. Students have gained much throughout the year, and in turn, benefit others with their special talents. They send thanks to the outstanding direction which the faculty has given.

Who are they? They are deans, counselors and librarians. The guidance department takes up the job as director in students' lives. The new addition to the staff this year. Mrs. Adler, finds her work challenging and rewarding. The deans, Mr. Wishart and Mr. Bergman, play a key role in maintaining discipline. They are strict and keep the students in line, but they are also friendly and involved in other aspects of school life. For the past 15 years. Sr. Annuncia has played a very important role as school librarian. She continually updates information and always tries to have current sources for students to use.

They appear with brooms and mops and whisk the halls and rooms back into shape. Actually, if you’ve ever been in the school office, you’ve seen the other part of service behind DC. Sr. Veronice not only answers your questions, but those of people who call the school. And what about Sandy in the kitchen? Everyone here at DC has at least witnessed the scene where someone’s money was stuck in a machine. Out of nowhere came Sandy, to (hopefully) retrieve it.

He stands momentarily in awe and thinks, My gosh — it’s so big!” Within the next few weeks the student will find himself in a swirl of social activities, being introduced to new teachers and new people. He will be presented with a host of opportunities in which he can improve himself and grow. He’ll find himself with much more responsibility — and he will like it. It’s freshman year at D.C. This year, the freshmen got right into the swing of things by winning the student council’s magazine contest, which earned them a free day. They got acquainted with each other at the Frosh Slosh. They enthusiastically showed their school spirit by winning second place in Spirit Week. They focused on charity during Thanksgiving week by collecting food for the hungry. They made friends through school sponsored clubs, teams, and band. Annette Hopkins sums up her feelings about D.C. this way: I feel that this is a great school. It has a lot of opportunities for everyone, and it is a great place to learn and have fun!

They started off this anniversary year by winning first place in the Homecoming car decoration contest. With the help of their moderator, Mrs. Cheryl Nelson, the Sophomores disguised their car into the award winning idea of a jukebox. Their catchy slogan was DCs record won’t be scratched . Not long after that, the Sophomores were making plans for their January-sponsored dance, Sadies. Sticking with the guy-ask-girl theme, the dance went back to a little more formal doing. Couples spent the evening dancing to their favorite music and getting their pictures taken in front of a homey fireplace scene. The Sophomores definitely know what it means to have DC spirit.

Junior girls' homeroom 117, guided by junior advisor, Mrs. Cecelia Murphy, played a major roll in their comeback, winning first in the Christmas door-decorating contest and third in the Thanksgiving Turkey baskets. Reminiscing about this year, Lori Lim enjoys the opportunities to get to know people, and the freedom to choose the classes we want ’ which junior year offers. Jane Orlyk says, We have the experience of being upperclassmen, but still have time to live before we graduate.” It had its pitfalls, too. Among them, according to Phil Wong, are Making posters, homework, zits, being sleepy, dumb jokes, being turned down for a dance, eating cold sandwiches, crowded halls, indecision, and losing pencils.” He concluded, though, by saying ”1 can get by with a little help from my friends.” Kathleen Blazo Paul Blazo Bradley Bloomhuff Kirill Bochnewich William Bourdage Jane Brand Patrick Brewis Michael Briggs Thomas Brock Susan Brogan Anthony Bustamante Alonzo Cadena Musette Caing Thomas Celeskey Mary Chadwick David Cinzori Leonard Ciuzicki Gina Collins Kathleen Corrigan Robert Coury Colleen Creagh At the Capuchian Retreat House.

Never fear, D.C. counselors are here! We’ll help you! , shouted an eager counselor. The counselor then went on to explain exactly how D.C.’s system works ... Each student is required to take one year of gym and one semester of a fine art. Still upset? , asked the counselor. The frosh nodded. Well, don’t be”, she replied and then continued . . . D.C. has an excellent fine arts department with a variety of classes to choose from. There’s anything from art (of course) to choral and many inbetween. There is home economics with the talented Sr. Josephenia, and art classes ranging from basic drawing (I) The dance class steps lightly.

Of course, gym is required, but at D.C. physical fitness is made fun with Miss Poirer and Coach Robb instructing separate boys’ and girls’ classes. So never fear young’um D.C. has the class for you! The student smiled gratefully and hurried away as the unconquerable counselor leaned back with a contented smile.

The industrial arts - drafting and auto mechanics - are enlivened by Mr. Davidson and taught to both boys and girls. Drafting is described as learning the techniques of technical drawing, while auto mechanics is known as learning how to effectively tinker” with cars. The future business world will be in capable hands with the knowledge of those students skilled in business techniques. Typing, shorthand, and accounting are the elective classes useful for every future career. (I) Concentration and know-how guide Pat Bla20 and Tim O’Sullivan through the maze of machinery.

Kathy Centala does some personal typing. 66 students to ’reach for the top’ While business courses prepare students for future work, the history and religion classes teach them about the past. As most students find, the two overlap on occasion as religious history has played an important part in man's past. Although history may not be a favorite subject of some, it does not have to be a dull, book-learned lesson as proven in such classes as U. S. Contemporary Affairs. Those students follow modern events by realistically identifying with today’s leaders of the world. By observing the effects that past people and events have had on our world, they learn how to shape tomorrow’s past. (I) Proofreading his work. Chris Giroux doesn’t seem to find any mistakes. (2) Can this strange crew be the important people of today’s world? The Contemporary Affairs class thinks so. (3) Sophomores discuss Christian Worship. 67 Math, English, science, languages (3) Classes are everywhere, playing an ever-important role in students' daily lives. There will always be something to say about your latest math grade of the quarter and what it did to your final average. Ask any sophomore about his first speech and it will definitely lead to an interesting conversation. This year saw many changes as Mr. Walker started teaching honors al-trig and Ms. Baron-Klask shared her role as English teacher with teaching history. Towards the end of the 1983 school year, there were many new plans made for next year in all these areas. (I) Horticulture students. Jerry Murphy and Jeff Julvezan take their class outside. (2) This is one of the many uses for computers, as demonstrated by Andy Poli. (3) Presenting a fashion report on video tape for journalism class are Lynn Baldwin and Maureen Kelly. (4) Blindfolded.

(2) Like Tom Kubeshesky. many sophomores worked with microscopes this year. (3) The computer craze :ontinues as Wendy Lennon finishes another urogram. (4) French class skits enable students to ut the language to good use. (3) (4) For the new year, a zero hour was voted on and accepted for many classes, especially biology. There were beginning to be too many students for the labs to be used effectively. By offering a zero hour class — which would start around 7:15 am — the number of students per teacher will be cut. This will make it easier on both teachers and students. The end of 1983 saw the departure of Mrs. Mary Wolfram as she prepared for a new life and new home in Lansing. With 1984 just around the corner, many changes in each of these departments are foreseen. 69 Activities guide 2:30 pm. ABC Solid Gold - Divine Child Discords. Cordettes, and Band perform.

Under her direction, the student council continued the success story of former years. Many student council activities remained the same, reinforcing age-old tradition. Last year's new additions — the magazine drive and the muscular dystrophy dance marathon — returned even more successful than last year’s debut. Friendship week was an all new occurrence, providing such classics as handshake day, smile day, wink day, and hug day. A big brother big sister program was also introduced to unite upper and lower classmen. It looks like an era of new traditions has begun.

O) 74 screen tests for leadership roles DC prides itself on a tradition of fine leadership, and the NHS and Close-Up programs continue to contribute. Any Junior or Senior may apply to NHS, but faculty members only chose those with a good academic record as well as a varied activity record. This year, the student's general attitude played a major role in the judging. The Close-Up program takes leadership one step further-------to the nation’s capital. This year. Mr. Lesnau took another group of students to see their government in action. (I) During her Close-Up trip. Margaret McClelland heard Senator Don Riegle speak.

(2) 75 Quill § Scroll, D-sCene staff produce English leaves the classrooml That’s right, through such extra-curricular activities as publishing the D-sCene and writing personal articles for Quill S Scroll, the English Language is put to use outside of normal school hours. The D-sCene changed hands this year. As last year’s advisor, Sr. Christen, became principal, the job was passed on to Mrs. Linda Shipp. The newspaper continued to grow and prosper. Reporters went to all lengths to bring interesting and informative stories to the school. Other students were able to respond to these works through letters to the editor. The whole school was kept in tune with the outside world as well as with the school world. Quill S Scroll is not a brand new club, but a revival. As advisor, Ms. Baron-Klask encouraged her select group to try to get their own feature articles published in local and national magazines. Not only are the members able to get these stories printed, but they are able to receive extra money for them like any other author. (I) At the first Quill Scroll meeting, Carolyn Wieser looks over possible magazines and what they pay.

P) 77 Yearbook, Curio staffs More changes occurred in the English department before the start of the 1982-1983 school year. Sr. Cecilia Marie handed over her responsibilities as yearbook advisor to Miss Faith Ducas. Along with a basically novice staff. Miss Ducas spent many extra hours after school not only putting the book together, but learning at the same time. Armed with rulers and pencils, the Clarion staff tackled stacks of pictures and agonized over lengths of copy. The 2:30 p. m. dismissal bell meant only the beginning to a large after school staff. This year, the yearbook staff expanded in its types of fund raisers by holding a bake sale and two dances. This money helped to pay for the rising cost of publishing a yearbook. Next year, the staff is looking forward to an even more organized and profitable season. (2) (I) Juniors Musette Caing and Matt Kowalewski line up to buy their yearbooks from Jenny Hetrick.

(2) Advisor Mrs. Shipp looks through the poems and stories being sent off to be judged for cash awards. (3) On paste up day. Mary Jo Suchy makes sure that each poem is placed in the right category. (3) Just as the newspaper was handed over from Sr. Christen to Mrs. Linda Shipp, so was the publishing of the Curio. Twice a year, students submit poems, short stories and, now. an ever-increasing amount of art, to be judged for entry by the Curio critique staff. This staff doesn’t work during a class, but meets after school to make all their plans for selling, judging, and for paste-up times. Judging has to be done within a week, so all free time is used to determine if the written piece is worth a five (the highest mark) or a one (the lowest mark). The staff pastes up the whole book on their own. This is a long process of sorting poems according to theme and matching them to a piece of art work. Then, each piece must be pasted on a page, with no really quick way to do this. Therefore. Mrs. Shipp and her staff stay until it is all finished, whenever that is. 79 Language clubs are notorious for giving their members the opportunity to participate in the culture they’re studying rather than just sitting back and observing. The German club, for example, often goes to see German movies as a group. Luckily, moderator and translater Miss Kelly is usually there to bale them out of confusion. The Spanish club participated in two Spanish meals this year — the seniors held an ethnic pot-luck in Theresa Beasley’s basement and the juniors took the easy way out and met at Taco Plaza. The club also held a nacho sale for muscular dystrophy. The French club, too, raised funds for M.D. with a bake sale. Other activities were a French Mass at St. Joachum's, dinner at Alliette’s, and a Christmas pot-luck dinner. (3) (I) Raising money for muscular dystrophy.

(3) 81 Choral groups’ ’solid gold’ performances The most important development in the music department this year,” commented music director Mr. James Bergman, was the formation of a show choir.” The group, however, could hardly be called inexperienced. Hours of after-school rehearsals — supplemented by plenty of talent — led them to success. The newly-formed show choir entered a midwest show choir competition at the University of Wisconsin. Out of 42 schools competing, they tied for 3rd place. To finance this trip, they performed at a Christmas party thrown by General Motors' chairman of the board. They also received financial aid from civic organizations in the community. Aside from the show choir, the combined choral groups placed first on a percentage basis at the arch-diocesan choral festival held at Sacred Heart Seminary this year.

(4) 83 Band, flag corps, majorettes prove Performing in the first Silverdome game was great-, the score, half-time show, and being in the stands watching the team win was excellent - that's my most memorable moment,” enthusiastically explained flag corps member, Paula Bonell. Pleasant memories, such as the one above, however, aren’t all that crowd the mind of a typical band member. The many long practices held during the week are often very tense. A complete four minute show must be pre- pared and perfected, sometimes within a one week period. The total dedication of all band members is needed and received. Despite all the problems, the marching band always does itself proud with a spectacular half time show.

All three provide members with an opportunity for enjoyment. The art club meets every Monday evening at 6:30, furnishing work space and good company for its members. Student artists join to spend time after hours on unfinished class projects or to strike out on personal artistic endeavors. The drama club does much the same for theater and acting enthusiasts. It gives them the opportunity to attend professional plays and to vent and improve their own dramatic talents at workshops. The movie club allows its members the chance to enjoy quality movies at drastically reduced rates, in theaters close to home. Some of the movies made available this year were The Dark Crystal. Ghandi, and the summer hit. Return of the Jedi. (3) (I) (2) (I) Waiting to enjoy The Dark Crystal at the Movies at Fairlane, movie club members loiter patiently in the doorway.

Service clubs create Everyone has heard the old saying, If only things were different.” Well, here at Divine Child they are, and especially the 4:30 Saturday afternoon Masses. The mass is celebrated in an extra special way through the dedication of the members of the folk liturgy club and the organization of Sr. Cecilia. Members of the club participate in the Mass by singing, playing the guitar, or lectoring. The club meets weekly to prepare for each individual Mass. The future teachers club is uniquely designed for children having difficulty in school with basic subjects such as mathematics and English. With the direction of Sister Cynthia, the club meets each Tuesday afternoon at the Divine Child grade school. A new Christian service club has been started this year by Sister Cecilia Marie. The club meets each Thursday afternoon at the Dearborn Arc. The club consists of volunteers who wish to help mentally handicapped adults and spend some time with them.

With the direction of coach Robert Wroblewski, each member took at least one ribbon during the Detroit Catholic Forensics League sequences held at Regina High School. Many team members took trophies at the grand tournament in Detroit this year. Members who qualified for the national tournament in Chicago were Jim Fitzsimmons, Pat Palis, Darcey Champagne, and Kathy Meade. All in all, both the debate and forensics programs are building in size and reputation at Divine Child. Through Mr. Wroblewski's efforts, interest has significantly increased and many awards have been won.

Mrs. Shipp ran an aerobics class twice a weeki Mr. Simon, Mr. Goepp, and Miss Poirier were in the weight room. The purpose was to develop cardiovascular fitness and good muscle tone. The bowling club was another success this year, as members met at 9:00 am on Sundays to compete for the year-end trophies. Ms. Robinson was the new advisor in 1983, and saw the club prosper. ublea s I9E7 OBI STATE 3K’ (3) (I) Weight lifting was for off-season training for girls’ sports and for anyone interested in fitness.

(3) 93 Science fair, handwriting analysis club At the beginning of each school year, students in all science classes are reminded of the science fair held annually in February. The purpose is to give students the opportunity to experiment with science and take it out of the classroom. Year after year, DC produces winners that go on to compete in the Metro fair at Cobo Flail. Students experiment with plants, animals or chemicals. This year, Tom Tracz won the grand prize for determining that heat makes golf balls go farther. Always wondering about different things, led members of the handwriting analysis club together. Sr. Maria, the club’s moderator, instructed her group to be able to analyze a person’s handwriting and to be able to come up with a personality profile. Handwriting analysis centers around the formation of different letters) the letters I, t, and d can tell whether a person is conceited or not, and the slant of the writing also reveals a lot about a person. (I) Among the winners. Anne Fadler can give you the answers to her project. (2) Another winner for DC uses computers to help in his project. 94 explain some of science’s wonders (I) Looking at the various science fair entries are Kathy Meade and Colleen Beaudoin. (2) Sr. Maria leads the club to analyze their own writing styles. (3) At the beginning of each meeting, members received a new lesson. Equitation members join ’sports world’; Many new clubs have come and gone at DC, but none have ever been run solely by a student without a teacher as an advisor. None until now, that is, as Mary Kay Kubicek, with the help of her mother, founded the equitation club. Anyone could join the club if they were interested in riding horses, even if they had never ridden before. No rides were scheduled until spring, but they were met with great enthusiasm by novice and experienced riders alike. The cost was $7 for a ride and, luckily, the riders had only one cancellation. Many people missed the rides although they were anxious to go. These students hope that the club will return next year so that more people will be able to experience the thrill of horseback riding. (I) The founder of the equitation club, Mary Kay Kubicek. sits easily on her mount. (2) The riders group together in anticipation of their ride. (3) Bidding farewell to the horses, a new friend is made by Cheryl Borzymowski. 96 International club brings world to dinner The international club is back and better than ever. Since Mrs. Diane Rivard handed her duties of being Junior class moderator to Mrs. Cecelia Murphy, she has had time to reopen the international club. The club first met in October with the knowledge that some of their meetings might be cancelled because Mrs. Rivard was expecting her first child in December. The members began their exploration of other cultures with a pleasant Chinese dinner at the Golden Jade restaurant at Cherry Hill and Inkster roads in Dearborn Heights. For the Christmas season, the group met to pick a theme for their holiday dinner. They picked the country of Mexico from which to plan their food and drinks for the upcoming party. Everyone brought an item and the dinner was a lot of fun for all those involved, complete with music and sombreros. There were also presents to be exchanged, purchased in local drugstores — candy from other countries. (I) At a Mexican Christmas party. Lori Lim and Jane Brand show their appreciation of the good food by raised glass and smiles. (2) Sporting sombreros. Kim Ward. Marisa Venegas.

(4) 98 possess their own stars All the star athletes do not belong to the football, baseball, or basketball teams at DC. Nor do they participate in track, wrestling, or golf. These are the people who play well, but play more for fun than anything else. They play to strengthen their abilities to play well they play to learn how to do things better, to improve on their skills and to keep in shape. These are the athletes who participate in the intramural teams and who join the tennis club. The intramural teams fought it out in the fall for the whole school to see, as students teamed up against faculty in a football game. The faculty won, but the students gave it a good shot on a very cool afternoon on the field behind the high school. This club, so to speak, formed baseball teams in the spring. Once again, the teachers and students were doing battle against each other. Ms. Debbie Gates is in charge of the tennis club. This gives students the opportunity to learn the basics of a good tennis game and to practice continually. These may be the same players seen next year at Wimbeldon. (I) As the ball is tossed into the air. Phil Wong prepares to smash a serve over the net to his opponent. (2) Bending low, Jean Demmer is determined not to miss this forehand shot. (3) In the intramural football game between the students and faculty. Tom Sadek takes the ball and runs. Unfortunately, the students folded despite the fine play. 99 Crews make the stage shine - from behind the scenes The curtain rises on an opening number with glittering costumes, the lively tune of a familiar song, or the design of a colorful set. These details are all an expected part of any production. But when the performer enters stage right, the rest is absorbed into a whole. What if there were no music or lights, scenery or costumes? The production would not be complete, because these are important parts of the show - as important as the actor on stage. The people who perform these jobs are also in” the drama, the musical, the concert. Behind the scene jobs include individual people like the stage manager, assistant directors, and designers. Large jobs are handled in crews for set construction, props, costumes, make-up, lighting, publicity, and stage crew. The hard work of these people is what really makes our productions successful. (I) For a natural look on stage. Becky Rebain helps Kent Dalion apply his make-up before a performance. (?) Waiting patiently for his cues. Cam Knowles works the spotlights.

Every Monday, one of the classes, at least, can be assured of an assembly covering topics from student council elections to muscular dystrophy. These assemblies lead not only to furthering the causes of different things, but to enriching the students’ knowledge about career opportunities. Some assemblies are for fun, too. A rock band, Freedom Jam, even livened up one Monday afternoon, and the Ferris State Bulldogs sang their way back into DC students’ hearts. Activity days come less frequently in the life of the student, but they entail much more in terms of planning, organizing and carrying out. Each teacher plans an activity which takes a group of students to do something out of the ordinary, and usually out of the school area. Through these activity days, kids have gone to the cider mill, the movies, to plays and to court} each adding to the outside life of the student body. These days have no classes scheduled for the students and easily become the favorites of everyone. Career day comes once every two years and the day is filled with listening to three speakers talking about their careers. The whole day is planned by the counseling department. Students are given a form earlier in the year and are asked to circle the three careers they would most like to hear about. These choices are then organized into a schedule. On careers day, the students receive these schedules and they go to three, one-hour sessions and listen to professionals explain about their job, what schooling is necessary, and what the chances are of getting a similar job in the future.

Homecoming takes over. Shouts of, MomI Where’d you put my punk boots?”, and Oh, I have nothing silverl”, are echoing through the halls and homes of DC students. Yes, once again Spirit Week preludes the ultimate day of homecoming excitement. This year was certainly spirited, being DCs 25th anniversary, silver, that is. The activities started with dress-up days to wear those weird and wacky outfits. First there was Silver Day, when everyone was supposed to come dressed in silver articles of clothing and miscellaneous. Then came Fad Day, when students and teachers alike were to wear any outfit from the 50's, 60’s, 70's or 80's. Afterwards came Hat Day, Color Day, and a special Homecoming Mass. To top it all off came the Pep Rally. Everyone cheered their hearts out and there was a host of activities for all the willing participants. Once again, Spirit Week came and went, but left in its wake many memorable moments that will definitely go down in DC history.

A Homecoming memories silver with time but never tarnish For many students and graduates alike, DC High is a home away from home, a place where they can settle down and be themselves with their friends. They can be serious and thoughtful, but above all, DC is a place where they are at home. That is what Homecoming is all about. It represents a feeling of belonging, and of coming home. Homecoming ’82 was no different. The stands for the football game were packed; many were left standing. But their cheering showed the true DC spirit. The Falcons moved on to a victory against DeLaSalle, 10-7. Homecoming Queen. Marianne Quinn, was crowned as deemed by tradition by last year’s queen. Marivi Del Rosario, amidst the cheering crowd. Her court added to the beauty of the moment as they ran up and hugged her. The festive atmosphere of that afternoon set the scene as it carried on to the evening and the Homecoming Dance. The gym was decorated beautifully. It was like a wonderland. Spirit Week and Homecoming will be remembered always by the participants. Who could forget such a joyous time? But what will make the 25th homecoming memorable will be the warm thoughts of coming home. (3) (I) Freshman Cheerleaders smile from their car. (2) Court members Keri McGuckin. Shawn Kelly.

One of the firsts this year was DC’s fall play production Ten Little Indians. Ten Little Indians showed many new faces to the schools theatre department. Leads were portrayed by Senior Chuck Morgan. Sophomore Duane DiFranco, and Junior Kim Rebain, in front of two sellout crowds. Hopefully, because of the play's success, a fall play will become a tradition at DC. Ten Little Indians is a murder mystery by Agatha Christie. The surprising twists and turns add to the characters portrayed by the students. This creates a tremendous success.

Charlene Kuczajda!” A round of applause is heard, as Charlene walks toward the platform where the former Queen. Mary Jo McHugh will pass on her crown. The honor of being Sweetheart Queen doesn’t come without hard work. The candidates must collect money for the missions through bake sales, raffles and other such creative methods. The girl collecting the most money will reign as Sweetheart Queen for the year. The mission club, which sponsors the dance, works feverishly during this period to make the collection a success. This year, over $2,800 was collected. Also, the switch was on once again at Divine Child. The sophomore-sponsored Sadie Hawkins dance allowed all those desperate girls to break the ice and ask the gorgeous hunks of their dreams to a dance. The sophomore class officers, along with moderator Mrs. Nelson, worked very hard to make Sadies the great success that it was. Dance is the fever at D.C.

With the weather cooperating, couples came out for a lovely spring evening of dining and dancing to the sounds of a live band. Couples were able to have their pictures taken together in the foyer at the hotel to preserve the evening. Everything seemed to go right that night.

'and we’re proud to be in the Pajama Game!’ As everyone involved in the spring musical knows, the practice and dedication that go into the show are a combined effort. The talented cast, crew and orchestra work long hours to present the best of Divine Child's fine arts. This year they proudly presented the lively comedy. The Pajama Game. Centering on the problems of a pajama factory in Cedar Rapids. Iowa, the sincere and sometimes humorous efforts of workers in demanding a seven and a half cent raise provide a background for much love and laughter. The blossoming romance of Babe and Sid, along with the loyal friendships between co-workers, complicate matters when each must choose between personal feelings and standing up for what they believe. The camaraderie of the employees is brought out in the lively picnic scene, with Hines’s knife-throwing act for entertainment. From a steamy union rally to a mysterious nightclub hideaway, the doubts and misunderstandings are eventually cleared away to end in a happy victory for all. Our production as well resulted in a successful triumph of entertaining fun. (I) (I) Using imaginary situations, Maybel tests Hinesy on his trust for Gladys.

In May, senior girls choose the May court — classmates chosen to participate in the crowning of the Blessed Mother. This year, Laura Gee was elected to be the May queen and. with her court preceding her, she crowned Mary during the Mass on May 13. The crowning was set off by the singing of special hymns by the student body as each member of the court presented Mary with a flower. Crown bearer, Bettinna Signori, assisted Laura as she climbed a few steps to place the crown on Mary’s head. After the Mass, the seniors gathered in the decorated cafeteria to enjoy their annual Senior brunch. They spent time with their friends and classmates to anticipate their next big event — graduation. (I) After eating their brunch, seniors Ken McGarry. Cheryl Krause, and Greg Guzik discuss the day’s events. (2) Senior court members Karen Koziatek. Sue Walker. Charlene Kuczajda.

These dances were not the big couples’ dances, but those where people could go by themselves or come in large groups. Most of these were fund raisers for various clubs. To open the school year, there is usually a Get-Acquainted dance for anyone and everyone to come and meet someone new. This year there was also a dance commemorating Junior Ring Day, in early November. For winter, the yearbook staff sponsored a Christmas Dance and later on they held another one in May, on Friday the thirteenth. These dances allow students to show off or create new dance moves in the company of their friends. Usually to the sounds of records played by a D.J., the crowds move out to the dance floor in the gym for the admission price of $3.00 at the most. Time after time, they come back to spend another evening dancing to song after song. (I) These three Freshmen girls get a better view of the floor from their seats on top of the bleachers.

Unfortunately, there was also rain on May 22. As soon as the faculty processed into the church, the skies opened and no less than drenched the graduates who were in transit to the church. The other half of the class remained in school until the worst blew over and were greeted as they entered the church with applause from their classmates. That was only the beginning of a normally unforgettable day, made more unforgettable by the fact tha t they sat through the proceedings soaked to the skin. As a year of firsts, graduation also had a few of its own. Valedictorian, Sandy Mondro, and Salutatorian. Kris Poplar, delivered their speeches at the same time. Each read a line of their combined speeches, alternating as they went. Together, they traced the voyage of the class of 1983 through their four years in high school. Memories were brought back to each student seated in the pews, as the rain and other things — dripping hair and tassles — were nearly forgotten. Luckily, the rain stopped after Mass so that friends and families were able to gather together and take pictures on the church lawn. Following, throughout the day, were parties held by families and friends to celebrate the beginning of a new life. (I) Anticipating the coming events.

Led by co-captains Pat Shurmur and Jim Tatro, the Falcons had a very successful season. They finished the season with a 10-2 mark. Their only two setbacks were to Brother Rice and Muskegon Catholic Central. They played in the Silverdome twice, beating DePorres 28-0 the first time. The second time, DC was playing for the state championship, but came up short of victory, losing 17-14. According to senior Bill Collins.

Mr. Yesh and his grapplers placed 2nd in the Catholics, did well in the regionals and sent several team members to the state meet.

Why would a gym be filled with chanting fans claiming that their school is number one? The solution is simple — their basketball team had one of their best seasons.

In the district playoffs, they were beaten by Inkster in a game of time.

Having one of the largest teams in the league proved to be an advantage, as they had many outstanding girls. Good weather early in the season gave way to many hard practices. The first two weeks heard many sore muscles complaining. The girls found out soon, though, that it was worth it as they started winning meets. The team ended the season second in the league. Coach Goepp was proud of the girls and was definitely encouraged by the many underclassmen who came out for the team. Even though track is a team sport, the events, for the most part, are done individually. There were many outstanding individuals on the team. Linda Peters, the most valuable runner on the team, excelled in the hurdle and sprint relay events. She was also captain of the track team.

This year's squad r-V consisted of 40 runners, nine of whom were seniors and fifteen juniors. ■jjjs: The quality of the team was reflected in their record. They ran away with first place in league, second in Catholics, and second in the City. Accomplishing this feat was no easy task. A DC runner could always be seen r.£ between the months of March and June running through the streets of Dearborn or pf practicing in the school parking lot. However, i ’ track consists of more than just running. It encompasses hurling one's body into the air and throwing lead projectiles. The team boasted many All-League ;gy. runners. The list includes: captains Chris §§£ Siegle and Pat McCormick, Joe Yassay, Mike Gallagher, Brian Dziadzio, Rob Abel, Pat Sheposh.

Cheerleaders, pom pon squad: The cheerleaders and pom pon squad put on a great show for everyone at DC this year. From back handsprings to complicated dance steps, they truly performed with the greatest of ease. These fine spectacles were shown to the crowd only after long and grueling hours had been put into practicing and perfecting each and every detail — right down to the flashing smile. This year these groups did especially well considering the strange circumstances under which they worked. The pom pon squad started off without even having a coach and the varsity cheerleading squad managed to capture 5th in state competition, while having the youngest group in the history of DC. What can their fine success be attributed to? It can be summed up in two words: determination and dedication. (I) The Silver Dome’s atmosphere adds something extra to this cheer by Jackie Oros.

The years may go by, and another anniversary may come around, but this year will stand out in everyone’s mind for some reason or another. It may be one small event, your first A or your first B, but it happened this year, and not in any other. Treasure these moments, events and happenings forever-, they may never happen again ... and there certainly won’t be another silver anniversary at DC High. 172 174 The Producers Advisor Ms. Faith Ducas Editor-in-Chief Karol Stanecki Layout Staff Barb Bizek Jenny Fletrick Cyndi Krol Wendy Lennon Maureen Mayette Margaret McClelland Jane Orlyk Gigi Palis Barb Sabol Carolyn Weiser Mary Winterhalter Photographers Barb Bizek Jenny Hetrick Cyndi Krol Jane Orlyk Barb Sabol Dave Stanis Baseball photos donated by Dearborn Press S Guide
