' To start with they had the memory of their first day in Dixon l-ligh School. As Hfreshiesn they wandered the halls, hardly knowing where they were sup- posed to be and gazed in awe at the seniors, who seemed so big and im- portant to them. They remembered fresh- man initiation day, the green bows and ties and the unmatched stoclcings they wore and the way they carried upper- classmen's boolcs all day. Then came their first semester exams. l-low they dreaded theml When time for the 1949 Prom rolled around,a few of the present class dressed as Chinamen, added to the atmosphere which carried out the theme Oriental Gardens. They were proud of this honor as it is very seldom that a freshman gets to the Prom. The rest of the freshmen sat wide-eyed in the balcony, eagerly await- ing the day when they would be down- stairs dancing. They happily started their sophomore year with the comfortable feeling that they lcnew what they were doing now. They weren't the babies of the school any longer. After settling down they discovered that their sophomore year was going to be the least exciting of their four years. Nothing was really new and they weren't old enough to participate in many of the extra-curricular activities. They still had fun, however, just malcing new friends and getting better acquainted with their old ones and with their surroundings. Surprisingly soon came that day when they were full-fledged upper-classmen. They joined dramatic club, ag club, library club, mixed chorus and boys' and girls, choruses, started worlcing on the DIXINI, and received parts in 0ur Town and Fog Island. They put on the annual ,junior All- School party and will never forget that 10 chorus line of beautiful girls who danced in the variety show. It was com- posed of a few huslcy but talented males dressed in short sldrts. ln baslcetball Dixon beat Sterling for the first time since the Class of '59 had entered high school. Twice during the regular season the Dulces came out vic- torious against their arch rivals, only to have their dream of winning the regional tournament shattered as Sterling won by two points in the semi-finals. Almost immediately after thisithe juniors started planning for the Prom. They de- cided upon Down by the Qld Mill Stream as the theme, and the decorators went to work on the hundreds of flowers, the wishing well, the water wheel and the pastel-colored trees that transformed the gym on Prom night. Their first Prom, that all-important event on their calendar, was as exciting as they had expected it to be. Tired but happy they reported to envious under-classmen that they had had a wonderful timef' Their junior year ended in a flurry as exams, the Prom and graduation of the seniors claimed most of the time. Soon they will part and go their sepa- rate ways, but they have made the most they could of their four years. They have contributed what they were able to the school and have had fun doing it. They hope they have been a good class. They also hope, in years to come, the other classes will remember them and say, l hated to see them go. They were a won- derful class, that Class of '5Q. - . lk ts 1 I . 2 ' 1 1 I I' f l ix 1 'I Q ll vllki h , x aixy : HELENE FRANCES ADAMS Band Q, 3, Footlighters 4.

As they think back over the years, they will probably see again the familiar DIXINI desk in the for corner of the room, littered with stories, letters, scissors, and jars of paste. In the center of the desk may be found the faithful old typewriter upon which many late stories were written by some weary page editor, They will hear again someone calling, Where is the typed copy for page 37' or see clearly some editor frantically scurrying around the room calling, K'What happened to my column? l know l handed it inln Memories too will return of Miss Dorothy Woldt, faculty adviser of the paper, who was always lending a helping hand or smoothing out difficulties. The first semester editors and their assistants were as follows: managing editor, Joan l-luyett, assistant managing editor, Sylvia Cannon, news editor, Martha Whitmer, assistant news editor, Loreata McDonald, editorials, Sharon Edwards, assistant, lmogene Sommer, feature editor, Ella Marie l-leuman, assistant feature editor, Shirley Schnell, sports editors, Kathryn Gates and David Lutzweiler. During the second semester the following people took charge: managing editor, Sylvia Cannon, news editor, Loreata McDonald, assistant news editor, lmogene Sommer, editorials, faun Johnson, assistant, Shirley Schnell, feature editor, Ella Marie l-leuman, assistant feature editor, Beverly Drew, sports editor, Kathryn Gates, assistant sports editor, Betty Eane. Betty Utter was managing editor of the business staff and Pat Bolender took over during the sec- ond semester. The business staff of the DlXllNll collected necessary ads from local business merchants and in general carried out all business transactions of the paper, JackieLampman,whosepictures greatly added to the interest of the DIXINI, was staff photographer, This year, many DIXINI positions were held by juniors during the first as well as the second semester. This method proved satisfactory and gave juniors valuable experience in the skill of publishing a paper, ,Iii zxzni .Siaff Row 5: S. Cannon, B. Beier, B. Fane, M. Dixon, G. Gibson, M. Plumb, J.

Beverly Beier was in charge of the typists, and it was her duty to see that DIXINI stories were typed in time for printing. 'lypists onthe staff were Kay Bryant, Mary Jean Cleary, Barbara l-lopper, Elroy Marten, Donna Gerdes, Ann Reilly, Elaine Sharl4ey, and Norma Borer. Copyreading was directed by Beverly Drew. l-ler staff, composed of Betty fane and Sue Gardner, also helped with the proofreading. The business staff consisted of the following departments: circulation, Jeanne Marloth, Nancy Healy, and Mary Kay Grush, correspondence, Sandra Sharp and Shirley Sitter, advertising, Mary Jayne Beach, Carol Walqeley, Joan Bennett, Pat Bolender, Barbara Bose, Pita Broman, Barbara Cleary, Mary Dixon, Greta Gibson, Pat Jones, JoAnn Kerz, and Eleanor Warner. The position of filing secretary was filled by Evelyn Carpenter. Since the DlXlNl was distributed to the students every two weelcs, the staff worlced constantly to meet each deadline. After the stories were handed in to the page editors, they were immedi- ately typed, copyread, and given a headline. The prepared articles were then sent to the Dixon Evening Telegraph for the first printing. After these printed stories had been returned, they were arranged on a page plan or dummy to indicate their proper placement. After the issue had been proofread for final errors, the dummy was sent to the Telegraph for the final printing. Each finished copy of the DlXlNl was the combined effort of approximately 65 students. .37 ixonian Row 4: Miss Eneroth, Miss Richardson. Row 3: C. Yount, D, Lovett, Ruth, P. Berrettini, B. Gorham, D.

Sylvia Cannon assisted john in conducting the senior survey and the senior pictures. You no doubt had your picture taken under the supervision of faun Johnson and Clyde Yount, the associate editors in charge of the photography in the Dixonian. Mary Billeter, the art editor, was responsible for the candid pictures. l-ler assistants were Mary Ann Reed, who drew the cartoons for the the division pages, and Eleanor Beardslee, who drew the ring figures at the ends of the sections. lwo of the Dukes were in charge of the sports department: Dick Crawford, the sports editor, assisted by paul Berrettini. sludy Lafferty, assisted by her staff composed of Bill Gorham, Nancy Wolfe, and Don l.ovett, was the ad manager. l'ler job was to plan the ads and the sales at games to finance the Dixonian. Darwin Slain, the circulation manager, was assisted by John Ruth and Ben Roe. The T952 Dixonian staff wishes to thank Miss lineroth and Miss Richardson for the time and work they contributed to make the yearbook a success. The editors are grateful for the advice given them by Mr. Culley of the Rogers Printing Company. The staff also sincerely appreciates the cooperation of the students who helped in yearbook projects. The Dixonian staff will feel well paid for their efforts when the annual brings back memories of school days in Dixon l'ligh to the student body. 38 Qui I all SPO jA06l0L6ll'l5 At the annual Quill and Scroll initiation, held February 21, 1959, 18 members were added to this honorary society. At the initiation ceremony, seven members explained the meaning of the journalistic aims as they lighted candles symbolizing Truth, lniti- ative, Opportunity, Leadership, Loyalty, En- lightenment, and Friendship. Quill and Scroll, sponsored by the North- western University School of Journalism, is the lnternational Society lor High School journal- ists. Requirements for membership state that the student must be of junior standing, be in the upper third of his class scholastically, have done superior work in some phase of journalistic or creative endeavor, be recommended by the advisor, and be approved by the executive secretary. An additional requirement of twenty-Five points, based on a point system is required by the Dixon High School chapter. Alter the scramble supper and the initiation ceremonies, the new members elected the Fol- lowing officers: ,loan l'luyett, president, Clyde Yount, vice-president, and Kathy Gates, sec- retary-treasurer. Besides the officers, members included Nancy Leer, Lampman, S. Edwards, N. Long, E. Heuman, B. Utter, L. McDonald, S. Schnell, M. Billeter, F. Johnson, S. Cannon, Nl. Knelson, Lafferty, M. Whitmer, l. Sommer. Since the Dixon Chapter of the National Thespian l-lonor Dramatic Society was estab- lished in 'l949, it has been the goal of all aspiring young dramatists. The society is de- voted to the advancement and creation of an active and intelligent interest in dramatic arts in the secondary schools. Its members are a more experienced group ol dramatic students who have done meritorious worlc in acting, directing, stage committees, and business and publicity worlc. They must earn at least ten points by participation in these phases of dramatic work. Since there were no Thespians remaining in high school, the new members elected their own otlicers and initiated themselves. Mary Ann Reed was president, Judy Latterty, vice presi- dent, Sylvia Cannon, secretary, and Martha Whitmer, treasurer. Mary Ann Metz and John Knelson were the other new members initiated. Emblem pins and membership cards were given to the new Thespians. Miss Patricia l-lolland was sponsor of the group. Since an initiation ceremony toolc place at the end of each semester more students had a chance to become lhespians, a much coveted honor. 39 g00fEgAtQl 5 . 'QP' ' 1? DRAMATIC PLAYBILL Time: 1951-SQ season. Place: The entire action took place in the auditorium of the Dixon l-ligh School where the Foote lighters met each month. Cast: Upper classmen and any sophomores who participated in plays were eligible for Footlighters. All newcomers to the club were required to earn three points for membership. This could be done by acting in plays, working on crews and committees, and selling tickets For the plays. Who's Who in the Cast: Qnly members from the previous year met at the First Footlighters' meeting to elect otticers. Mary Ann Metz was president, john Knelson, vice-president, Mary Billeter, treas- urer, and Eleanor Warner, secretary. Plot: The two major productions, l Remember Mama and The lmportance of Being Earnest, were the high lights of the year. A Variety Show given by the combined etiorts of the music and dra- matic departments was also presented in the spring. There were dramatic sketches, musical num- bers by groups and individuals, and dance routines. Some short plays were also given at several meetings of the Footlighters. Qrganization and Aims: Footlighters has continued to become an ever-larger organization each year, and many students have sought membership. The ideals and aims of lfootlighters are those oi any good dramatic group: to encourage better dramatic productions, acquaint its members with the production of a major ploy, and give incentive to more student participation. perhaps even more important is the clubis ability to bring students together with a common interest in dramatics. It teaches them to work together and gives them poise and confidence in appearing before an audience. Special Speaker: Walter S, Dewey, an expert on stage lighting from the State University of lowa, gave an interesting and informative talk at a special meeting in December. Director: The old saying tithe show must go on is a popular one in the theatre. The Hshown, however, must have a good director to bring out the best performance. This year the dramatic de- partment was under the capable direction ot Miss Patricia Holland, 40 ZHQQHQ QI' CLl'VLCl Friday evening, November 'l6, 'l95'l, at 8 oiclock the play, l Remember Mama, was presented by the Footlighters under the direction of Miss Patricia l-lolland. Mariana Metz was the student director. The play was based upon the book, Mama's Bank Account, by Kathryn Forbes. The l-lanson family, around which the play revolved, was a Norwegian family living in San Fran- cisco in WQWO. The family consisted ol Mama Cgylvia Cannonf, the central figure who just couldnit see her family as poor, though they were, and Papa Qlohn Knelsonj, a quiet, good natured Nor- wegian. The three girls were Katrin QMary Ann Reedy, the dramatic type, Christine CMartha Whit- merb, the stubborn, but practical one, and Dagmar Qfece jonesl a lover ol animals, especially Uncle Elizabeth, her dog. Nels Uack i-iillb, the only son, was like papa. ln the first act Katrin began recalling her Family, especially Mama and the many problems Mama laced every day in caring lor the family. She recalled the time Aunt Trina Cblaine SharkeyD wanted to marry Mr. lorkelson Cjim FOXD. Mama had to tell this to Aunt xlenny Cjudy Lailertyb and Aunt Sigrid CDonna Mcl3hersonD. Mama always felt that everyone was good, even Mr. l'lyde QDick Craw- lordl, the English boarder, and Uncle Chris Cxlim DeYoungD. Katrin also recalled the time Mama went to Florence Donna Moorhead Cpoberta Downsj, a suc- cessful author, to Find out why Katrinis stories were not good. Especially vivid in Katrinis memory was the day Mama scrubbed the hospital Floor in order to get into the hospital to see Dagmar. Qther members ol the cast who helped to make the play a success were Doctor johnson CDavid MayesD, Arne Qldill Mansellf, nurse Uane Reynoldsb, another nurse fNancy Leerj, a soda clerk, QArt Muellerj, Madeline Qgallie prescottl, Dorothy Schiller QAnn Lesagel, ,lessie Qliaun johnsonl and the bell boy fArthur Gannl The crews responsible lor the playis success were the lollowingz Stage Crew A.

Miss Patricia Holland directed Qscar Wildels comedy presented March 'l4. John Worthing CDave Lutzweilerl loved Gwendolen Fairfax QNancy LeerD, the cousin of Alger- non Moncrief Cpat Jonesb. Algernon discovered that John had a pretty young ward, Cecily Cardew CBeverly Drewl Each boy became engaged to his girl under the fictitious name of Ernest. Since hair-pulling was not proper, the girls resorted to icy tongue lashings when they met and found that they were both engaged to Ernest. Lady Bracknell CJudy Laffertyb, Gwendolens mother, franlcly told John that he was not on her list of eligible young men for Gwendolen. When John informed her that he had been found in a hand- bag at a railway station, Lady Braclcnell was dismayedl Dr. Canon Chcisuble, the elderly minister, CDon Lovettl and Miss Prism, Cecilyls governess, CJacl4ie Lampmanj added many laughs with their metaphors. As servants, Lane CSteve Lindelll and Merriman fDarwin SlainD displayed great formality. ln the third act Lady Braclcnell recognized Miss Prism as the servant who had disappeared with Algernon's elder brother twenty-eight years earlier. Miss prism admitted that in a moment of mental abstraction she had placed the baby in a handbag and deposited it at a railway station. Since John was Gwendolynxs cousin, Lady Braclcnell could no longer disapprove of their engage- ment. When John discovered that his name really was Ernest, all ended happily. Algernon won Cecily, Ernest won Gwendolen, and Dr. Chasuble, Miss Prism. Much credit for the success of the play belongs to the stage crew members who worlced diligently malcing scenery and changing sets. Members of the crew were Ronald Long, Darwin Slain, Jaclc l-lill, Fred Johnston, Bob Giese, Art Mueller, Bob Whisenand, Mary Dixon, Evelyn Carpenter, Donna Mcpherson, Jane Reynolds, Jaclcie Lampman, Zita Levan, Elaine Sharlcey, and Juanita Stafford.

Each member of the Dixon chapter is required to be enrolled in an agricultural class and have a project program, This program is supervised by Mr. George Reed, vocational agriculture instructor, and carried out by the students, who gain many valuable and practical experiences from such enter- prises as beef, swine, dairy, and crops. The members determine their success by showing their proj- ects in August at local and county fairs. Activities sponsored by the club each year are carried out by the members. Such activities include a Father and son banquet, hayride party, Christmas party, pest contest picnic, scramble supper, and an annual trip to the lnternational Livestoclc Exposition in Chicago, Une ol the most enjoyable activities held by the club is the pest contest in the spring, Two teams are selected and compete to see which side can destroy the most pests. The losing team treats the winning team to a picnic.

May l have a library slip for third period today, please? f-low many times have you asked one of your teachers this question? lhere are few students who at some time or another do not find it necessary to use the well equipped and efficiently managed high school library, An average student probably spends several hours a month in the school library writing speeches or term papers, reading magazines, selecting books to read, or just browsing around. ln order for everyone to use the facilities of the library to his greatest possible advantage, every thing must be kept in order. Books must be returned to proper places on the shelves, and magazine must be filed correctly in the magazine rack, How is the library kept so orderly? A visit to the library club should answer that question lhe library club, under the direction of Miss Edith ldeinle, high school librarian, meets every other Wed- nesday during homeroom. At these meetings the members of the club study and apply some phase of library work. ln addition to attending club meetings, the girls spend several hours each day before school, after school, and during study hall periods checking books out and in, returning them to the shelves, and taking library slips to study halls. These girls are also responsible for the attractive bulletin boards inthe library. Beverly Drew is president of the club, and Bonnie Bechtold is vice president. Qther members of the club this year are Joan Glessner, Nancy Gross, sleanne johnston, Wilma Miller, joan Watts, Carol Shippert, Donna Wade, Nancy Whitcombe, Carol Winder, Kay Bryant, and Martha Burmeister lhese are the girls behind the scenes in the library. The girls care for five thousand books, thirty- five magazines and many other sources of information contained in the library. They not only make the library a more pleasant place for one to study, but also perform a great service to the Dixon l-ligh School. 50 ,s, - M . -'Q -nv T' Yaynxyv ,f 7. RK AZ .wr 'Z 1 N.

Coach Marvin Winger and his Cross-Country Dukes enjoyed a highly successful year despite an early season lapse following a satisfactory start. They climaxed their great season by placing high in the State finals. The squad opened its 'l95'l season on September Q0 by successfully handing the Tigers of Princeton and LaSalle-Reru defeat in a triangular meet at Princeton. The Dukes paced by Darwin Toms were on top of varsity heap with Q9 points. Rrinceton was second with 39 points and LaSalle-Reru fin- ished third with 6l points. Cn September Q7 the Dukes met Sterling and DeKalb on their own Rlum l-lollow Course. The Warriors took the meet with Dixon running a close second. The following week, Qctober 4, the Dukes again romped to victory over Rrinceton by a QT to 36 margin at Plum l-lollow. The frosh-sophs also captured their meet QT to 34. On Qctober 7 the squad traveled to Geneso where they attended the eighth annual Genesee invitational cross-country meet. Roger l-larden, after leading for most of the T4 miles, faded in the drive for the wire and finished fourth, bringing the squad fourth also. Cn Qctober 'l'l the Dukes nipped DeKalb by a Q7 to Q9 margin on a very rough 1.9 course. The first Sterling invitational meet was held on Qctober 13 and with Dixon's Ace runner unable to compete, the Dukes finished third. The North Central conference meet was held on Qctober Q0 and with Dixons top runner again unable to compete, the Dukes finished way down in fifth place. On Qctober T6 the Dukes traveled to Sterling, where they captured second place in a quad- rangular meet, being beaten by the Warriors by a close two points. Then all keyed up for the big district meet the Dukes traveled to Sterling on Qctober Q7. The squad copped the meet hands down with the next closest team Q7 points off. This victory gave Dixon a chance for state competition. Cn November 3 the boys traveled to Champaign, where on a very cold Saturday morning, they placed fifth out of eleven complete teams. Members of state competition were Roger l-lardin, Darwin Toms, Don and Lou Wigginton, Don Lovett, lvan Adams and Art Mueller. At the close of the season Darwin Toms was chosen captain of the Dukes. Darwin Toms, Don Lovett and Art Mueller are the only lettermen who will be graduated. The rest will return next year to what should be another successful season. lvl . ? S F X ai Q 3' 9'- M.
