DHS is you, the students and the faculty. With its center in you. DHS is all-encom- passing with guidance, learning, participation, and competition. Fifty years have passed since the publication of the first Dixonian. Each year has seen new faces and witnessed new experiences, yet each alumnus of DHS has felt the same emotions. The exhilaration of victory , the depression of defeat, the chal- lenge of learning, the warmth of friendship, and the memories of the past belong to each of us. Each day passes minute by minute, hour by hour. Its moments are never to be relived; they have become a part of the past and are memories. Each of us treasures those moments which had personal significance. Pictures serve to remind us of them; words serve to recreate them. It is our deepest desire that the pages of this Dixonian will recall, both now and in the future, your wonderful moments of this year. Dixonian Editorial Staff Dixonian Staff Pam Goddard ........

Layout Editor .......Sports Editor ...... Art Editor Photography Editor ............ Advisor Dedication We, the Class of 1964, dedicate this edition of the Dixonian to an individual who possesses an untiring enthusiasm for living and who gives his never-ending support to the progress of Dixon High School. During this long term of service at DHS. he has laid a strong foundation for many of us in the field of industrial arts. To all of Dixon he has left the memories of years of exceptional team action on the gridiron. His good-natured personality, his friendly smile, and his interest in duck hunting will remain impressed upon the minds of all students who have passed under his guidance. In preparing us for accepting our responsibilities in life, he has given us a fine example. With a great deal of pride and respect the Class of 64 dedicates this yearbook to you, Mr. C. B. Lindell. In summary' the following can certainly be applied to you: consider that he laboured not for himself, but for all who sought to learn. 5 7 DHS is Reflecting DHS—a rich inheritance from the Superintendent Vernon Mays 1906 Principal C.H. Anderson 1914 Principal C.D. Booher 1916 Principal H.C. Fiester Glee Club 1917 Prologue Fifty years have elapsed since the Dixonian became a part of Dixon High School. On the pages of these fifty an- nuals are recorded the hopes and achievements, the joys and sorrows, and the successes and failures of a half century at Dixon High. Only an alumnus can truly read deeper meaning into the yearbook, filling in the spaces with per- sonal memories of his alma mater. Although the Dixonian can not possibly record ev- ery event which passes, it serves to help one recall out- standing activities as they happened. The thrill of victory, the depression of defeat, the excitement of activity, and the satisfaction of learning are all tied together in a single vol- ume to attempt to recreate episodes of the student life at DHS. 8 past % t d First Dixonian Staff 1914 South Central after the fire 1907 Before 1914 Dixon’s first schoolhouse was a single story frame building located behind the present Dixon Theater. It was also used as a court house, a town hall, and a dance hall. In 1838 the school opened its doors to the first class which consisted of twenty-five students. The land on which the school stood was sold in 1848. Because the new owner wanted to keep the building to himself, a group of determined citizens advanced under the cover of darkness and literally moved the school to the spot where Trcin s Jewelry Store stands today. In August of 1858, a high school was established in the old Methodist Episcopal Church. Four hundred students took advantage of the opportunity for a secondary educa- tion. A three-story structure was completed in 1868 at a cost of $20,000. North Central High School enrolled 185 students on the first day. 1887 found Dixon with another high school, South Central, which was also known as the White Brick School. In October, 1907, South Central was completely de- stroyed by fire. A new building, consisting of twenty-seven classrooms, was erected on the same location. The same building is being used today as a grade school and is the location of the administrative offices of the Dixon Public School System. 1914-1919 Dixon High School began recording its achievements in 1914 with the first publication of the Dixonian. Mark Herbst was the Editor-in-Chief of the yearbook, and Ray Fitzsimmons was the Business Manag- Scveral administrative changes occurred during these six years. C. H. Anderson was principal in 1914; H. C. Fiest- er replaced Mr. Anderson in 1916: and W. R. Snyder be- came Superintendent of Schools in 1917. World War I limited the activities of these years. Under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Armington, a faculty member, a Red Cross Chapter was organized to make items to send to the American soldiers. At this time more than 100 students became members of a “Do Without Club” whose purpose was to donate money, which would otherwise have been spent on luxuries, to the war effort. South Central 1918 North Central 1920 9 Rock River Conference 1925 John Reeder (1919-1921) I B. Potter (1921-1932) 1920-1929. In 1920 North Central and South Central were united under the supervision of Superintendent John C. Reeder and principals Gladys Gaylord and I. B. Potter. The 1920 Dixonian was a result of the combined efforts of staff members from both schools, and a joint basketball team put an end to the rivalry which had grown up be- tween North and South Central. The success of the merger of the two teams was evident in 1921 and 1922 when Dixon won the Rockford Basketball Tournament. Track and field events were also introduced during the first year of union. In 1921 Superintendent Reeder died leaving his posi- tion to be filled by I. B. Potter. Later, in 1922, Dixon High School experienced the promotion of A. H. Lancaster to take over the position of principal and the arrival of A. C. Bowers. In later years these two men were a definite in- fluence in the lives of many students and townspeople. Mr. Lancaster who was known for his friendly and under- standing personality gave many years of service to the school. Mr. Bowers was instrumental in the forming of the Rock River Conference, which soon gained a reputation for having keen athletic competition. In 1925 Mr. Bowers joined forces with B. O. Culley to produce Dixon’s first conference championship football team. Dixon’s solid defensive line proved to be the main factor in its undefeated season. Opponents of Dixon never succeeded in crossing the Dukes’ goal line during the en- tire season. I he only blemish on the champion’s record was a safety obtained by her arch rival, Sterling. The year 1927 proved to be outstanding for the Dukes' NCIC Champions 1932 Louella O. Parson� Ronald Reagan 10 Gladys E. Gaylord (1919-1923) basketball team. Coached by McMasters, the team com- piled a perfect conference record and walked away with the trophy. During the 1920's the number and kind of extracurricu- lar activities grew rapidly. The Agriculture Club, whose work was continued later by the Future Farmers of Amer- ica, was opened in 1922 to those interested in farming. In 1923 Dixon entered debate competition with the forma- tion of the Lincoln Debate Club, supervised by Miss Scott. Two organizations of importance were organized in 1924 —a student council, consisting of a president and one rep- resentative from each class, was formed; and the first pub- lication of the school newspaper, The Bat, was presented to DHS students. Other clubs formed during this decade were Les Pauvres Poisons (French Club), Vadi Mercum (Latin Club), Literary Digest, Joyce Kilmer Society, and dramatic clubs. A structure resembling a castle, located on Lincoln Statue Drive near the banks of the Rock River, held all of Dixon's high school students. The new building and its facilities made Dixon one of the greatest sites of learning in the state of Illinois. A telephone system connecting each classroom to a central board in the office was the latest type of convenience to be had in a school’s facilities. The electric control board in the physics room was the first of its kind in the state. The clock and bell system, which is still in use, far surpassed those of other schools. Excluding the auditorium, which was added in 1936, the cost for the whole building was $600,000. Cafeteria 1935 Home Economic Class 1932 11 High water mark 1938 DHS from the air 1939 1930-1939 Dixon’s athletic success during the thirties was dependent primarily upon the expert coaching of C. B. Lindell, A. Q. Bowers, and L. E. Sharpe. Football was the first sport to receive attention; 1930 brought Dixon its sec- ond and last Rock River Conference Championship. The North Central Illinois Conference was formed in 1930, and Dixon soon gained full control. Mr. Lindell's football team captured the NCIC conference trophy in 1931 after an undefeated season. Much credit is due to the shifty open-field running of all-stater Elwood Me Reynolds. The year 1932 brought another NCIC championship to Dixon's football team coached by Art Bowers. In the same year, golf and tennis were added to the athletic program. It took the Dukes only one year to become masters of the golf course and NCIC titlists. Basketball moved up in 1933 as Mr. Sharpe's team advanced to the rcgionals, gaining en route Dixon's first district trophy. Dixon also won the conference in track in 1933. Outstanding in field events were Curtis Strong, broad jump; Fred Pagett, mile-run; and Howard Mantsch, discus and shot put. Also in 1935, Mr. LindeU’s golf team continued its winning ways by dom- inating conference play. During this year of outstanding athletic achievements, the Ixntennen’s Club was organized with Francis “Hank Henry as president. The 1935-36 athletes climaxed a drive which since has never been equaled in the history of Dixon High School- Dixon placed first in every conference sport in which she participated. With a display of powerful running and blocking and the excellent offensive and defensive action of Lloyd “ ruffy Miller, Mr. LindeU’s football team over- ran the conference. Mr. Sharpe coached his basketball team not only to a conference championship, but also to Dixon’s first regional trophy. Mr. Bowers’ track team won all its dual meets and gained its fifth consecutive NCIC title. The team then advanced to the state sectional meet where it placed second. The golf team, led by senior Dick Durkes, captured its fourth NCIC title in four years. Mr. Lindell followed suit in 1936 with an undefeated and untied sea- son. Don Miller, halfback for the Dukes, later became the Big Ten's best place kicker. In 1937 Gerald Ankeney, later one of Iowa’s famous “Iron Men,” led the football team to its third consecutive conference championship. Due to the flood in the spring of 1937, the track team was un- able to use the field. Despite this handicap, they captured first place in the conference. In 1938 Mr. Marvin Winger became a member of the coaching staff when he took over the duties of Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Lindell who had been assisting Mr. Bowers in track. Coaching staff 1938 12 Undefeated and Untied 1936 NCIC and Regional Champs 1936 NCIC Champions 1939 13 Regional Victors 1938 Veteran teachers. From top to bot- tom: Alice Richardson. C.

The outstanding athletic achievements of the 1930’s carried over into the early 1940’s, especially in basketball. After capturing two consecutive conference' championships in 1940 and 1941, die Sharpshooters gunned their way to a sectional crown and a place in the Illinois “Sweet Sixteen.” However, their bid for further honors was halted by Decatur who defeated the Sharp- shooters 57—53. Mr. Sharpe guided his teams to two more conference titles in 1943 and 1944 and three more regional trophies in 1943, 1944, and 1946 before he retired from the court. In 1944 the Dixon High School Marching Band was formed under the direction of Orville VVestgor. The fol- lowing year Mr. VVestgor composed a loyalty song for Dixon High School, replacing the old one which was pat- terned after that of the University of Illinois. This song is NCIC Champs 1940 14 still being used. Also, in the 1940's the Dixon High School Majorettes added new interest to the music department. The year 1941 saw the combining of the Latin and French clubs and the forming of the Travel Club. Librari- ans organized a club in 1942 under the supervision of Miss Heinlc who is still the advisor of this club. La Ter- tulia, the Spanish Club, originated in 1943. Quill and Scroll, a literary club, was formed in 1947 as was the Fu- ture Teachers of America Club. Two former graduates of Dixon High School who have attained fame arc Louella Parsons and Ronald Reagan. In 1941 they returned to Dixon for the Louella Parsons— Ronald Reagan Day when the first addition of the hos- pital was dedicated. The 1942 yearbook was dedicated to Ronald Reagan in recognition of his participation in sports and dramatics. World War II deeply saddened Dixon High School by the deaths of former graduates. Today, a bronze plaque engraved with the names of those classmates who were killed in the war hangs near the entrance of the new gym- nasium. The years from 1940 to 1930 found our city faced with many new problems. The war created a need for the Green River Ordinance Plant. With the plant came an increase in population. After the boom, some moved on while many stayed and became a permanent part of our com- munity. Fulfs, Toni’s, and Giannoni’s are remembered as the popular “hangouts of the 1940 s. FulFs was located next to the present Zeien Buick Garage, Toni's across from the present Dixon Theater, and Giannoni s on Galena Avenue. Basketball Team 1942 Conference and Regional Champs 1944 15 Superintendent Sherwood Dees (1955- 1963) In the fifties music became prominent at DHS. Mr. Rob- ert L’Heureux held the baton over the Dukes Marching Band and the Dixon High School Concert Band. In 1951 Dixon’s crazy German Band originated. The Marching Band brought added glory' to its name by participating in a pro- gram of marching and music at Illinois State University. In the years from 1952 through 1957 the band was awarded nine first place trophies for her excellent band shows. Cross Country, which had been added in 1949 with Mr. Winger as coach, proved itself in 1951 by winning its first district meet. This was followed by three more consecutive district victories. Tennis, with a string of twelve conference championships, proved to be Dixon s strongest sport from 1950 through 1961. Nevertheless, the sport was dropped from the curri- culum in 1960. Dixon still fields two teams which partici- pate in certain tournaments. These teams are supported by interested parents and businessmen. Mr. Sam Owens, varsity football coach in 1952, intro- duced wrestling as a competitive sport in high school. Mr. Robert Sonneman coached wrestling from 1957 to 1962 giv- ing Dixon a solid standing in the conference. Rich Lawton. German Band 1961 Jim Boyer, and Mike Wadsworth were among Dixon’s out- standing wrestlers. In 1956 coach Lyle Bogott led his basketball team to a conference title. His 1959 team was successful in becoming regional champs. A member of this team, Phil Keeley, is now playing on the varsity basketball team at Northwestern University. Mr. Sheldon Bross came to Dixon in 1955 to become principal of the high school. In 1956 Mr. Allen H. Lan- caster, superintendent of schools since 1932, retired, leav- ing his position to be filled by Mr. Sherwood Dees. Several other activities were introduced or further de- veloped in the fifties. In 1957 the Student Council received a state charter. The Future Teachers Club, the Future Nurses Club, the Campus Club, and the Art Club were formed in 1958. Sabine Brodbuck and Harold Muelhausen, Dixon’s first exchange students, came to Dixon in 1959 from Germany. Since then Dixon has hosted two American Field Service Students Maria Raquel Escobar from Chile and Erica Endler from South Africa. In 1959 the new additions, which were a new’ room in the library, the north wing, and the new gymnasium, neared Foreign exchange student —Sabine and Harald 1959 Queen Francis Lahey and King Floyd Acker 1951 16 Cross Country 1953 NCIC Golf Champs 1956 completion. The north wing included the cafeteria, the ag- riculture. wood, metal, and electric shops, and seven class- rooms. The gym, which was dedicated to A.H. Lancaster, has a capacity of 3,800 persons as compared to 1,200 in the old gym. In 1962 chemistry and physics students moved into the new labs in the west wing of the building. A long list of successful alumni has been compiled from which this representative cross section is taken: Education -Eugene Vest. Humanities Department, University of Il- linois; Science—Dr. Stanley E. Krohler, chemist, Dupont Company; Medicine Dr. Nan Warner, surgical pathologist. University' of Chicago; Dr. Howard R. Long. Southern Il- linois University; Military— Major General William L. Rich- ardson, USAF: Religion—Chandler Sterling, Episcopal Bis- hop; Government Lyle Snader, railroad lobbyist, Wash- ington, D.C. Fifty years has effected many changes in DHS, both physical and cultural. A new building was acquired and later, three more additions. Each teacher and administrator has left his mark on the halls and students of this school. Its history is rich with winning teams and famous graduates. Yet the oncoming fifty years hold an equal opportunity and challenge for the students of this school, Dixon High School. ■ Faculty members promote extracurricular activities. NCIC Champions 1958 Regional Champions 1959 17 DHS is Guiding 19 Mr. Bross Mr. Winger Administration Mr. Weber One of the most respected faculty members of DHS is Sheldon Bross. Mr. Bross, principal of Dixon High School since 1954. came to Dixon from Mendon, Illinois. He re- ceived his Bachelor’s Degree from Carthage College and his Master’s Degree from the University of Colorado. The duties of a principal are manifold—preparing the curriculum of DHS, assigning teachers to their respective positions, and planning the athletic program. Most im- portant is the task of co-ordinating all of the activities tak- ing place at Dixon High School. Mr. Bross has. shown his capabilities in his excellent handling of this monumental task and should be congratulated. For twenty-eight years Mr. Winger has devoted his time and efforts to the field of education. After he received his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Illinois and his Master s Degree from the University of Wisconsin, he taught and coached in his native town, Walnut, Illinois. When he came to Dixon in 1938, he taught history and eco- nomics and coached athletics. Mr. Winger, assistant prin- cipal since 1956, handles registration, attendance, and dis- ciplinary actions. He should be commended for a job well done. Stanley Weber, recently appointed Superintendent of Dixon Schools, can boast of a splendid educational back- ground. Not only has he received his Bachelor’s and Mas- ter’s Degrees from the University of Illinois, but he has also received credits for additional summer work in various oth- er educational institutions. Complex as his job may be. Mr. Weber handles it with complete authority and skill. Through his office pass prob- lems concerning the hiring of all faculty members and the mediation between the board of education and the teach- ers themselves. Though his job is mammoth in scope, each aspect receives his individual attention. To Mr. Weber go our best wishes for a successful future. 20 Teachers give students insight PHILIP ARNHOLT Biology, General Science. EVELYN ARNOUND English II: Dixonian. Quill and Scroll.

DHS Staffs Keep Days Running Smoothly IN MEMORIAM ELSIE STULTZ The loss of Miss Olga En- Sehool Nurse eroth on October 6, 1963, was indeed a great one to the fac- ulty and the students of DHS. Through the years of her ded- icated services, she gained many close friends within the faculty and the student body. Her past students and acquaintances will remember Miss Eneroth’s quiet and sin- cere manner, and they will al- ways think of her with great respect. 25 DHS is Learning 27 Who is the greatest of them all? Seniors! Left to right: Bill Campbell, Caro- lyn Johns, Pam Goddard. Class of 64, your hour has come. Reality is no longer just around the comer. Most of you can face the future without fear. Your class has left a record of which it can well be proud. Take a brief look into the last four years. You have had a greater number of students on the honor roll than any other class. Your student council has benefited immensely from vour leaders—Dan Reigle, president: Rich Cojlins, vice-president: Mary Mortensen, treasurer: and Anita Byer, secretary. Your class officers have been well chosen—Presidents—Lester Rhodes, Jim Santee, Rich Col- lins, and Bill Campbell; Vice-Presidents—Carol Butter- baugh, John Tiffany, Dan Reigle, and Carolyn Johns: Secretary-Treasurers—Martha Potts, Sue Gunner, Herb Fritz, and Pam Goddard. It will be hard indeed to find a class whose girls have more beauty and personality than yours. Consider your queens and attendants—Sharon We id man, homecoming queen and junior attendant; Becky Childers and Linda Saunders, senior attendants; Carol Heckman, sophomore attendant; Mary Mortensen, freshman attendant. What class has shown more spirit and will to win? You have won the school spirit trophy tw'o years in a row. Chiefly responsible for this enthusiasm were your cheer- leaders—Jane Ann Weigle, Diane Feldkirchner, Pam God- dard, Carol Heckman, Judy Wright, and Mary Mortensen. Who can account for the successes of your athletic teams? With your coaches you have worked to bring football back to Dixon. V our freshman, sophomore, junior varsity, and varsity basketball teams have won a combined total of 50 games against only 19 losses. Your wrestling teams have done an outstanding job and several of your boys are three yey lettermen in the sport. Class of 64, your record is quite complete, but w hat about the other parts of school? What about that first day four years ago when you walked through those big doors feeling small and insignificant, waiting to be accepted in a w'hiri- ing teenage society. What about that first date or that first big dance where you seemed to be all feet and helplessly tongue-tied? How about your sophomore year when you knew all and dared anyone to tell you differently, or your junior year when you seemed to gain that confidence and poise that marked you as an upperclassman? Remember the day you got your class ring, and the days afterward when you exchanged it for a dream and regained it for a broken heart soon to be healed and then rebroken again. Remember your first prom when even the extreme heat couldn’t spoil an evening for which you had waited so long. Class of 64, you do remember these things, and yet within you there is a growing restlessness which tells you there are new goals to seek, new fields to conquer, and new experi- ences to be gained and stored in your memory. 28 Seniors!

Almost seniors! Congratulations, Juniors, for coming successfully thus far down the difficult but exciting road of high school life. During your first few days as freshmen, the journey seemed rather formidable, but soon you situated yourselves and elected Judy Flanagan, Eleanor Jones, and Terry Utz as president, vice-president, and secretary-treas- urer; Debbie Spangler was your contribution to the 1961 Homecoming Court. The year rolled by all too quickly and soon it was over. With all the haughtiness of the past sophomore classes, you took the school by storm in the fall of ?62 by capturing, for the first time in years, the trophy for Homecoming deco- rations. Larry Stuart, Jane Crabtree, and Mary Nichols had been chosen as president, vice-president, and secretary- treasurer, and early in October Becky Heckman was selected for your Homecoming attendant. Your class brought forth its school spirit by being well represented in both varsity and sophomore sports and in such organizations as the Robed Choir, Treble Choir, and Concert Band. Sopho- more Mike Heaton was secretary of Student Council. With a year of study, experiences, and fun behind you, you were ready to graduate to the rank of upperclassmen. The long awaited junior year was finally upon you. Already for several weeks your boys had been attending football practice to help strengthen Dixon’s force; and Larry Stuart, treasurer of Student Council, had been help- 46 ing make plans for the 63-64 council activities. After Marilyn Buckaloo, Becky Heckman, and Zack Moss were elected president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, preparations for Homecoming began again. Ann Slain was selected as your charming attendant to the queen. Junior names like Randy Wallick, George Burkett, Alan Fane, and Greg Kelchner were heard often during an outstanding football season. One exciting event that can not be over- looked in the fall activities is the receiving of class rings. For some peculiar reason, some of you gave yours away! In November, one of your fellow-classmates, Bob Taub- enheim, was elected to the office of treasurer of the North- west Student Council District. Again, in the winter, your class led the way in school activities and the sports world. Selected for your Polio Court attendants were Chris Black- bum and Mary Nichols. For the third time for you, track season and spring activities like the Carnival and Spring Musical came and passed. Finally you experienced your first prom! You looked forward to it with the same sense of thrill and excitement you felt as freslimen before the first big dance. Class of ’65, remember to treasure each moment of these past three years and all of the days remaining to you in your final year as seniors. Be aware of your coming days, for they will fade into the past and their moments into memories. TOP ROW: Denny Floto, Dale Ellis. James Fischer. ROW 2: Rich Edclson, Bill Ferguson, Larry Friese.

Have you ever felt weighted down by pressing prob- lems? 50 Hustle, muscle, and spirit describe sophs Left to right: Brad Weigle, Dick Sanford, Dave Huffman. 1964—this is the year the sophomores will long remem- ber. No longer were you looked down upon, belittled, and ridiculed. No longer were the spacious halls foreboding and the upper-classmen threatening. No longer was your main concern that of losing the inexplicable dread you felt when you heard your name being called. To put it nicely, no longer were you freshmen! But as you look back upon that first stumbling year, you recall a few’ highlights. You chose Steve Sproul, Ellarea Kerlev, and Phyllis Gerdes to lead your class as president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. As Homecoming Week approached, you selected Connie Spangler to beau- tify the events. As the year elapsed, you found yourselves gaining confidence and looking forward to becoming soph- omores; and when September came, you had succeeded in doing so. You started off the year with the annual tradition of electing class officers: but with your class nothing less than the best would do. Your officers had to possess leadership, wit, intelligence, sense of humor, and the ever abundant amount of sophomore spirit. A rough and tough election was held with Brad Weigle, Dick Sanford, and David Huff- man pulling ahead for president, vice-president, and secre- tary-treasurer. With these three leading you, you were to prove to one and all that the timid freshmen had developed into spectacular sophomores. As Homecoming Week drew close, “Jungle Jaunt” was chosen for your theme. With native-like enthusiasm you transformed the first floor from an everyday hallway into an African jungle teeming with Kewanee pigmies running from armed Dukes. Sophomore spirit again pushed you forward; the suspense mounted until it was triumphantly ended with the announcement, made at the Homecoming Dance, stating that you had won the prize for the decora- tion competition. For Homecoming attendant you had chosen Barb Gunner to represent your sophomore class. As the year whizzed by. new faces of your personality appeared everywhere. Faithful fans turned out for the sports events, and your enthusiasm spurred the team on to many victories. The sophomore cheerleaders were Debby Feltes, Barb Gunner, Maureen Meinke. Sandy Stroup, and Pam Wasson. While many were exercising ability in the field of ath- letics. another face of vour personality claimed recognition when you won merits for your wnt and skill displayed in various debates. Still others added to the now numerous faces of your personality by participating in 'Preble Choir, Robed Choir. Concert Band, and the German Band. With a deep sense of satisfaction and a morsel of regret, you have ended that wonderful sophomore year. The year ended is only the end of the beginning of your high school years. Now you have crossed the halfway mark, and next year can make the beginning of the end of your DHS years as memorable as your first two years! 51 TOP ROW: Dave Chandler, Jim Dishman, Ed Chiverton.

Remember, Class of ‘67. this first hectic and exciting year at DHS as freshmen? That first memorable day you gazed in awe and wonder at the upperclassmen, who seemed to be running even which way in a state of organized con- fusion. As you explored DHS, you were met W'ith new problems: finding the right class at the right hour, trying to go up the “down” stairs and down the “up” stairs, and wondering if you would ever make it from the fourth floor to the first in four short minutes. Upperclassmen were not as mean and evil as you had expected them to be: they only laughed when you sought the cafeteria on the second floor or went to the auditorium for gym class. You showed how capable you could be, however, a few weeks later when you put your 335 heads together and elected your class officers: president, Don Castle: vice- president, Alan Hardersen: and secretary-treasurer, Bob Branson. Football season was upon you: and with the fine coaching of Mr. YVallick, the freshmen football squad obtained the standing of six wins and only one loss. Glam- our and excitement were added to Homecoming Week by the election of Lyn Reynolds as freshman attendant. Eager- ly you scrambled at the last minute to decorate the cafe- teria, which you transformed into a land of gingerbread men, candy kisses, and elves. The fall play, “Tea House of the August Moon,” brought you to the dramatic life of DHS. Several freshmen par- 56 ticipated in the play and obtained membership in Dramatic Club as a result. The indoor sports, basketball and wrestling, began with the coming of winter. The basketball team, with Mr. La- Russa as coach, brought a fine record to your school. A member of your class. Ted Moss, even gained a varsity posi- tion on the wrestling team. With the end of one half the school year came your first semester exams, which you somehow survived. Soon School Spirit Week was upon you, during which was exhibited your tremendous school spirit while attending the “Cafeteria Cluster,” pep rally, basketball games, and Spirit Dance. Alan Hardersen and Linda Love were elected as your Polio at- tendants. The remaining months S|x d by as you enjoyed and par- tic ipated in the G.A.A. Dance and the spring musical, “The Music Man.” Already your freshman year has become ancient history and soon the rank of sophomore will be held. Your frosh year was filled with joys and sorrows, hap- piness and unhappiness. Your youthful vigor brought new energy and spirit to the high school halls. If the next three years manage to keep pace with your first, they promise to be joyful and rewarding. Four years later, after graduation is over, some of your fondest memories will be those of your first year in DHS. TOP ROW: Dennis Buccola. Jim Brooks, Tim Burrs. Carla Bruce.

Composed of a delegate and alternate from each homeroom, the council has ninety-two members in addition to the four officers. Officers elected by the student body for the 1963-64 school year were: Dan Rcigle, president; Rich Collins, vice- president; Larry Stuart, treasurer; and Steve Sproul, secre- tary. These officers were responsible for organizing the year’s calendar and planning ail council events. The Student Council enjoyed another fine year in 1963- 64. Its first event was the Kick-ofT Assembly in September. Here the officers were inaugurated and the year’s events previewed. October brought Homecoming Week with its many festivities. Highlights of the week were the Kewanee football game Friday night and the Homecoming Ball Saturday night. Sharon Weidman was crowned Homecoming Queen, and the sophomores captured the decoration award. The Northeast-Northwest District Convention at Aurora East, November 16, brought DHS several honors. A fine students display was entered in the Hall of Ideas competition, and Dan Reigle was selected to be a discussion leader for the convention. The highlight of the convention was the election of Bob Taubenheim, DHS junior, to the post of Northwest District treasurer. With December came the Christmas Assembly and Good- fellows Drive. School Spirit Week served to kick-off the second semester with a new spirit. The carnival and Election Week were the main spring events. Throughout the year the student council sponsored several after-game and dress-up dances. Five dances were donated to other school organizations by the council this year. Sales of Buzz Books, basketball pennants, and DHS bookcovers were other council projects. 1963-64 was Mr. Buzzard's second year as DHS Student Council advisor. His advice and helpful suggestions were indispensable. In the future the Student Council will strive -for the betterment of DHS.

ROW 2: Anita Byer, During eighth hour each day, the Dixini staff has worked to publish a newspaper that would be of interest to the student body of Dixon High School. With all the confusion, it was hard to believe that a finished product could be produced within three weeks. The paper, how- ever, under the co-editorship of Delight Glenn and Jane Ann Weigle, always made the deadline on time. Serving as page editors for the first semester were Linda Schick, Martha Potts.

Planning the issues took ingenuity, patience, and good hard work. Stories were planned and assigned to various reporters. When handed in, the articles were copyread, corrected, and typed before being sent to the press. After the printer returned the material, the staff had to arrange the articles on a Dixini page in the same manner it would appear in the final printing.

We chose the phrase “DHS is ... ” to be the word theme for this year. The decision of to whom the book should be dedicated was next on the agenda, and then there was some discussion as to the cover plan. By the time school opened in September, a great deal had been done toward beginning the yearbook and yet so little in comparison to the hours of work that lay ahead. Slowly the staff waded through old yearbooks, uncovering and assimilating facts about the past fifty years in order that the “fiftieth section” of the anniversary edition might be completed. Reprinting old pictures, writing copy, and editing seemed to be an endless process; but somehow we managed to meet our first deadline, only to begin anew' on the next one. Another task which proved to be tiring but fun was the taking of pictures of homerooms, faculty, clubs, athletic teams, and all the activities which accompanied the many phases of school life. In the middle of November, our Dixonian staff attended the National Scholastic Press Association Convention which was held at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago. Dur- ing the two days we were there, we absorbed many new' ideas, techniques, and criticisms on every aspect of year- book planning. The exchange of ideas and advice among the students from all over the country was another source of inspiration. Three other very important staffs that worked diligently behind the scenes were Mr. Hamersmith’s Ad Staff, Cir- culation Staff, and Publicity and Promotion Staff. With- out their efforts and support, this yearbook would not have been possible. One point which is quite evident is that the making of a yearbook from a dream to reality is a united effort in which each staff and individual must give his all. The rewarding result is the Dixonian, a composite of your activities and school, which can be presented to you, the student. 74 Jim Santee Sue Gunner Ken Fritz Sports Editor Art Editor Photographer life at DHS Mary Nichols Rich Edeison Junior Editor • Junior Editor Dixoman staffs handle finances, adds Mr. Hamersmith Business Advisor Typists Left to right: Marilyn Huff, Lorene Fink, Mary Slothower.

Honor societies encourage achievement In 1921 the National Association of Secondary School Principals founded the National Honor Society. In all of the States, U.S. territories, and many foreign countries, chapters have been established in secondary schools to pro- mote the importance of Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. In 1956 Dixon High School was granted a charter, and the organization became known as the Black- hawk Chapter. The emblem, composed of a keystone with a flaming torch superimposed upon it, certainly exemplifies the goal of the organization. The keystone represents the strength and the perfection all people should try to achieve. The flaming torch symbolizes the light of knowledge which is needed to counteract the darkness of ignorance in the world. In the spring of each year, new members are initiated into the society, after being voted upon by their classmates and considered by the faculty. This year there were twenty-five members of the Blackhawk Chapter; the advisors were Miss Bessmer and Mrs. Swan. This year’s members chose as offi- cers: Delight Glenn, president; Rich Collins, vice-president; and Corny Patterson, secretary-treasurer. The purpose of Quill and Scroll, an international honor society for high school students, is to encourage and re- ward individual achievement in journalism—in such areas as writing for the high school newspaper or yearbook. Membership is selective, requiring all members to meet five qualifications: (1) he must be of junior or senior classification; (2) he must be in the upper third of his class: (3) he must have done superior work in some phase of high school journalism: (4) he must be recommended for membership by the advisor of journalistic work in his high school: (5) he must be approved by the Society’s secretary-treasurer. Membership widens a member’s horizons, increases his journalistic perspective, and gives him the opportunity of receiving one of the scholarships offered by the Quill and Scroll Foundation. Many prominent journalists, authors, and educators hold honorary memberships in Quill and Scroll and have a genuine interest in the w'ork of young journalists. These are the kind of individuals who keep the Quill and Scroll alive and also aid journalism in reaching the aims of truth, leadership, loyalty, initiative, and integrity. 77 TOP ROW: Frank Bulliner.

At the first meeting which was held in Sep- tember, Gene Pierce was elected as president, Kennie Long as vice-president, and Ken Fritz as secretary-treasurer. In order to become a member of the Thespian Society, a student must earn ten points by participation in some form of dramatic arts. This may be accomplished by act- ing in a play, serving on one of the stage crews, or work- ing on one of the several committees. Upon earning sixty points, a student is given the title of an Honor Thespian, which is the highest honor that can be earned by a club member. During this school year the Dramatic Club and Thes- pians have been responsible for the presentation of three plays. Late in the fall the popular “Teahouse of the August Moon” was presented to the students and community. As the winter progressed the production of “A Marriage Pro- posal” began rehearsal for the contest play competition. Climaxing the year of outstanding activities, “The Music Man” was given for the annual spring musical. This year the Thespian .Society has changed from mere- ly an honor organization to one of greater activity. For the first time since the formation of the club at Dixon High School, programs were presented at the meetings in which guest speakers took part. Included in the topics of discussion were such things as make-up, lighting, and the production of plays. Because of these programs, interested Thespians were able to gain a broader knowledge of the many aspects of dramatics. Finally, in the spring there was a banquet held for the Thespian Society members. At this time new members were initiated into the organization, and awards were pre- sented to the boy and girl who had been voted the “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” by their fellow club members.

Its duty is to build up the pep of our educational institution (subsidized by an occasional imitation of modem music). The members march at all out of town football games, play at all pep rallies and at least one assembly, perform at the home bas- ketball games, and sometimes provide entertainment for various serv ice clubs in and around Dixon. The German Band, consisting of thirteen of the zaniest musicians to be found in the Dixon High .School Concert Band, is now in its 13th year of peaceful co-existence with the outside world. Of the thirteen in this years band, eight will return next year. Five will graduate. These five are Brian Bowman. Lester Rhodes. Jim Ewbank. Don Koesler. and Tom Struhs. Worthy of mention at this time are Jeff Wil- liams. John Nichols, and Jim Higby who capably substituted for absent members. Above all of the afore mentioned activities, there is one that is considered a solemn, almost sacred, task. This is their annual pose for the group portrait. For the picture, all members don their finest attire (which, of course, varies with year to year fashion changes ) and graciously place themselves before the camera. Hooray for the German Band—the funniest and prob- ably best organization of its kind in the state of Illinois. BACK ROW: Rick Ker- ley, Gary Boyd. Don Koes- ler, Dennis Nelson. ROW 2: Mr. L'Hrureux.

Santa Claus presents gifts at the annual G.A.A. Christmas party. Kiddies of all ages have a jolly good time! GAA sports aid in the The two hundred fifty members of G.A.A. at Dixon High School have the opportunity to participate in a number of sports such as soccer, hiking, archery, speed-away, basketball, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, bowling, tumbling, physi- cal fitness, tennis, and softball. The club this year was efficiently run by Priscilla Pietsch, president; Leta Lawson, vice-president: Sandy Johnson, secretary; Delight Glenn, publicity chairman; Diane Har- vey, social chairman; Marilyn Gerdes, senior sports chair- man: Anita Curley, junior sports chairman: Ann Varga, sophomore sports chairman: and Kathy Lee, freshman sports chairman. Several main projects highlighted this year for the G.A.A. The sending of food, clothing, and Christmas gifts to a needy family was a co-operative effort of the members at Christmas time. The annually successful Polio Drive during which a king, queen, and honor court were elected by the entire student body was co-ordinated with a city-wide bread sale. In the spring the G.A.A. Dance, and later the Farewell Banquet honoring the seniors, were held. With the inspiration of Mrs. Roe and Mrs. Bridgeman, G.A.A. will always be an outstanding organization at DHS. Not only does G.A.A. teach the fundamentals of sports but also good sportsmanship and group co-operation. Each girl is installed with a competitive attitude; yet she learns to lose gracefully. Along with all this learning is the simple fun of being with friends and participating in fun-filled activities. 90 TOP ROW Jill Pentz, Anne Grove, Kathy Harshman, Sue Kuter, Diane Harvey, Pat Fish, Marie Holtz, Christy Greene.

Its members are athletes who have been awarded at least one varsity letter and two minor awards or two varsity letters. All members are allowed to display their awards on the official lettersweaters of Northwestern purple; captains of the athletic teams are privileged to wear their letters on a white sweater with purple trim. The club was organized to recognize boys who have shown a genuine interest in sports and who have worked hard to provide Dixon High with the kind of teams that can hold their own in the stiff competition of die NCIC. The club wishes to further dedication to sports, acceptance of training rules, and a fair standard of conduct both on and off the field of competition. The organization works with the rest of the school and the student body to promote school spirit, good sportsmanship, and winning attitudes. The Lettermen’s Club has provided ushers for all home football and basketball games. Also, the club has raised money by selling programs at the games and by sponsoring a dance, An Evening with the Lettennen,” after one of the home football games. With the money, the lettennen at- tended some of the major sporting events such as college football and basketball games during the year. There are about thirty members in this year s Lettennen’s Club. The officers are Mike Davis, president; Randy Wallick, vice-president; Rick Folk, secretary; and Bennie Birch, sergeant at arms. Mr. Vail is the advisor for the club. 93 Art Club designs sets for school plays TOP ROW: Phil Slagle, Eric Schultetus, Mike Remrey. Bill Nay- lor, Charles Wilson. Gene Wilhelm.

The Art Club, an organization which has played only a minor role in the extracurricular activities at Dixon High School for many years, has recently become a prominent and active asset in our school life. There was only one con- dition necessary for qualifying for membership which was that the student wishing to join be at least in an Art I class. This past year marked the first time that the Art Club had a set of by-laws, which had been drawn up by the officers. A second innovation was the collection ol dues that were used to finance various activities. The 1963-1964 officers were Kennie Long, president; Rich Sodergren, vice-president: and Dawn Ramsey, secre- tary-treasurer. Two of the main club activities that were planned by the officers were the field trip and the annual art display and sale. The club also worked tirelessly on the planning and building of the set of the fall play, spring musical, and the decorations for the Junior-Senior Prom. Approximately one hundred members meet the third Wednesday of every month under the sponsorship of Mrs. Marie Helin. At this time the students discussed the club’s standing in the school and their plans for any future ac- tivities. The willingness to participate in school activities that was displayed this year by the officers and members has given everyone a feeling of success. If the same spirit con- tinues, there should be a bright future for the Art Club. 94 C. K. WILLET CONSULTING ENGINEER 809 E. Second St., Dixon, III. 283-1481 TOP ROW: John Tiffany.

This year's officers were Sam Quinn, president; Kenny Manon, vice-president; Martin Baker, secretary: Bill Saund- ers, treasurer; Dan Sieling, reporter; and Jerry Johnson, sentinel. The year was highlighted by a trip to the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago, where the members wit- nessed the judging of the grand champion steer. An intense program of officer training was introduced this year. In Rock Falls, the officers attended a training institute which proved to be very beneficial to them and the entire club. The reporter traveled to Oregon, where he participated in an orientation of his responsibilities. Further information was gained when all the members toured the Dixon Evening Telegraph. Later in the year meat and milk judging teams were sent to the University of Illinois to compete with other F.F.A. teams. Both teams did well and learned a great deal about judging the quality of these products. In February, during National F.F.A. Week, the annual Parent and Son Banquet was held. Also during this week the F.F.A. queen was elected by the members of the club. The year ended with the Section II F.F.A. Fair where the members exhibited their livestock and received ribbons and prize money. Everyone worked his hardest in an effort to capture the top prizes. The knowledge gained by these boys in their vocational agriculture classes and in F.F.A. will help them to become the future fanners of America.

The purpose of the Amateur Radio Club is to promote amateur radio as a hobby and further educational bene- fits in the field of electronics for those students who intend to make electronics their career. This year the Radio Club is in its beginning stage. In the early part of the year the members met every Monday night in the Electric Shop to learn the international Morse Code and Radio theory. Aft- er becoming proficient with Morse Code, most members passed the Novice License issued by the Federal Communi- cation Commisssion and have been transmitting on the air. Next year the club expects to expand in membership, elect officers, and join the American Radio and. Relay League, which is the official amateur radio organization. This club is open to any high school student, boy or girl, regardless of their educational background. Two new clubs serve varied interests Chess Club ROW I: Bill Clark. Marty Clark.

With the sponsor Mr. Love, all stu- dents interested in chess met in his room each Thursday after school. However, there were a few elementary' rules of chess that one had to know- before joining the club. The members provided their own chess sets, and after each meeting a record was kept of the wins and losses of each. Officers of this newly formed club were: Floyd Bonnet, president; Ronald Bull, vice-president: and John Wallin, secretary. 101 BACK ROW: Jim Swanson, Jim Vandenbcrg, Ronnie Bull, Hill, Joanne O’Conner, Connie Huflfstutler.

FROST ROW: Mrs. Martin (advisor), Bob Taubenhcim, Sandy “The question is debatable” Under the careful direction of Mrs. Helen Martin, the twelve members of this year's Debate Club of Dixon High School debated the following resolution: “Social Security benefits should be extended to provide complete medical care for citizens over sixty-five.” An affirmative team con- sisting of two students contended that the present system was not providing adequate care and that there was a definite need for change. They also presented a program which they felt would be better. The negative team, also consisting of two members, stated that the present system is adequate and that any plan their opponents might propose would be impractical. With the contentions in mind, the Debate Club members began their season by traveling to Spring Valley to participate in the Spring Valley Tourna- ment where, at the end of the day, they ranked fifth out of twenty-three schools. In addition to this fine rating, four members of Dixon’s sub-varsity team were awarded certifi- cates for exceptional debating. Those students were Sandy Hill. Dave Sinow, Jim Vandenbcrg, and Tom Green. The next tournament in which Dixon participated was held in Rock Falls early in December. That tournament saw the Duke debaters tie for third place among nineteen schools. One of the highlights of the year for the Dixon team was the Sterling Invitational Tournament, in which twrcnty- nine schools participated. The Dixon varsity team finished in a tie for second place, three speaker points short of first place and the coveted trophy. The Dixon affirmative, con- sisting of Dave Sinow and Bob Taubenhcim. had three victories and one loss. The Dixon negative, consisting of lorn Green and Jim Rosenberg, received four victories. Thus the varsity team finished with a 7—1 record, an admirable showing indeed. A few months later, the team participated in one of the largest tournaments of the year, which was held at Bradley University. Fifty fine schools were represented. All Dixon debaters gained experience, which was invaluable in later tournaments. At the conclusion of four hours of debating, two Dixon High negative debaters, Connie HufTstutler and Ronald Bull were awarded certificates of excellence for their outstanding debating in the sub-varsity division. Another of the large tournaments on the Dixon schedule was the District Tournament in which the finest schools in the state were represented. Other members of the debate team were as follows: Joanne O’Conner, Dennis Murphy, Jim Swanson, and Bill Schuler. Besides gaining valuable experience in speaking and com posing ideas, the members of the Debate Club also had opportunities to meet other students and exchange ideas with them. 102 Good citizenship is aim of DA R, SAR DAR Jane Ann VVeigle was elected this year to be the recipient of the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizenship Award. Because she ful- filled the personal qualifications of leadership, scholarship, dependability, and service, Jane Ann was elected by her fellow students and the DHS faculty to receive the award. For two years Jane Ann was a member of the National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll. She has also been active as Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Dixini, as a member of Robed Choir and Student Council, and as captain of the cheerleading squad. Early in March, all of the local area winners of the DAR award were entertained by the Dixon Chapter DAR at an honorary luncheon. Later, during the same month, Jane Ann and all of the other winners attended with their parents a convention at the Palmer House in Chicago where the state winners were announced. SA R The Sons of the American Revolution presented their good citizenship award to Dan Reigle this year. Dependability, cooperation, leadership, and patriotism were the qualities upon which the award was based. Elected by his classmates and the faculty, Dan received the SAR medal at the honors assembly in the spring. As a freshman, Dan attended Boys' State and during his junior year he served as vice-president of his class. For two years he has been a member of the National Honor Society. In the last semester of his junior year, Dan was elected to serve as president of the Dixon High School Student Council during its 1963-1964 season. In connection with his student council position, Dan attended two Student Council cohventions. Dan was also chosen to be a recipient of the Bauch and Lamb Science Award, the National Council of Teachers of English Achievement Award, and the National Merit Letter of Commendation. Girls’ State Girls’ State is an annual seminar in government and good citizenship and provides training in the operation of a mythical government. Over five hundred girls from all over the state attend Girls' State. It is held in Jack- sonville each June and is sponsored by the American Auxiliary. The girls are divided into two, non-partisan parties; conventions are held; cam- paigns are conducted: and the final elections of state, county, and city officers are made. These girls then get a chance to perform the various duties of their offices. Also, many recreational activities for the girls are planned such as a talent show and city get-togethers. The week is high- lighted by an inaugural banquet and a tour of Springfield. Mary Slothower was chosen as the delegate to Girls’ State last summer. During her four years at DHS, she has participated in Concert Band, Stu- dent Council, Spanish Club, Dramatic Club. Campus Club and G.A.A. She has also worked on Dixini and Dixonian. 103 104 DHS is Competing 105 106 BECKY CHILDERS LINDA SAUNDERS Senior Attendant Senior Attendant Homecoming Queen Sharon Weidman and Court BARBARA GUNNER LYN REYNOLDS 107 Sophomore Attendant Freshman Attendant spirits and anxieties.

Highlighting the day, however, was the announcement of the freshman, sophomore, and junior queen attendants. Chosen were Lyn Reynolds, Barbie Gunner, and Ann Slain. Dukes Day followed on Tuesday during which all Frosh- Soph and Varsity players wore a tag with their name, num- ber and position on it. Wednesday, that was set aside as Coach Day. followed a similar pattern wih the coaches be- ing honored by wearing blue ribbons with their names. As Spirit Day arrived the students made their final deci- sions for their choice for Homecoming Queen. Since the choices were Becky Childers, Linda Saunders and Sharon Weidman, this task was not an easy one. That night the traditional outdoor pep rally was held on the football field. The bleachers were packed with spirited students as the Homecoming Court was introduced and cheers were led. Frosh-Soph and Varsity cheerleaders exhibited their skill at football in a mock game, with Dixon, of course, as the victor. A snake dance and bonfire at Borden s Field immedi- ately followed, with more antics by the German Band and more cheers. Homecoming Week was gradually coming to a close, and the game and queen crowning were at hand. The game was one of the most important of the season, because if Dixon won, the team would be in the running for the conference crown. At half-time the attendants and queen were to arrive on a large float. As tension mounted the crowd heard the name of the new queen, Sharon Weidman. After the queen had been crowned by A1 Zimmerman and Corny Pater- son and she and the court were driven ofT the field, the Dukes fought hard for a victory, only for the game to be tied 14—14. The final event was the Homecoming Dance on Satur- day night. The second crowning of the queen and the cli- matic gaiety of the dance brought the week to a perfect close. 108 BLANKENBERG STUDIO Portraits by: Laurin Williamson 207 Peoria Avenue, 283-8101 109 Football seniors meet tough teams and see Rick Folk Rich Collins Bennie Birch Myrle Moeller Mike Davis Corny Patterson Bruce Henry A1 Zimmerman Jim Knigge Bill Gower Tom Myers Bill Nealy Fred Sanford 110 Wayne Sanford Jim Santee Jerry Stouffer Woody Wasson Art Law Jim Lutzvveiler Mai Williams Phil Pogue John Tiffany John Wallin TOP ROW: Gary Smith, Fred Sanford, A1 Zimmerman, Chris Blackburn, Woody Wasson, A1 Fane, Phil Pogue, Bob Shomaker, Bruce Henry, John Wallin.

Coach Dick McCarthy Coach Chuck Vail Coach Bud Melvin The 1963 Dixon football team gave its fan many ex- citing moments. The first opponent was Hall Township High School. Mistakes are made early in the year and Dixon made the key ones, giving Hall the victory 18—14. Rochelle invaded Dixon the next week and added another notch to its undefeated season. In the next week Coaches Vail and Melvin revamped the defensive line sacrificing weight for speed and mobility. Phil Pogue, Fred Sanford, Myrle Moeller, Wayne Sanford, Bennie Birch, and Gary Smith maintained the forward wall of the new gap de- fense. The payoff finally came when Dixon jammed Otta- wa’s offensive machine and broke the Pirates’ 27 game win- ning streak with a 7—7 tie. The following Friday Dixon stalemated the Sterling Warriors 6 to 6 and then took a weekend off to visit the Falcons of Arlington Heights in a nonconference match. The Falcons did not move past the Dukes’ 20 yard line and Dixon came home the victor, 13 to 0. Kewanee came to meet the Dukes for their home- coming. Neither Dixon nor Kewanee were expected to be in contention this year, but that week they were both fight- ing for conference supremacy. In one of the most exciting games of the year these teams battled to a 14 to 14 tie. This game left Dixon in a rather strange position. The team had not lost a conference game, but it had not won one either, and the conference trophy was just out of reach. The letdown was too much for Dixon, and she lost the next two ball games, 19 to 7 to Streator and 21 to 7 to Rock Falls. Although the Dukes did not finish with a winning sea- son, there was a tremendous improvement in the team over last year. Co-captains A1 Zimmerman and Corny Pat- terson demonstrated some fine running, and the passing combination of Jim Knigge to Mike Davis kept the oppo- nents in constant apprehension. 112 DIXON HOME TELEPHONE CO.

The little Dukes turned in a fine season this year win- ning 4, tying 1, and losing 2. This team deser t s much credit as it played almost the entire season with less than twenty players on the team. In the first game Dixon and Hall moved each other from one end of the field to the other, but neither team was able to penetrate deep enough to score, and the game ended 0 to 0. The little Dukes had somewhat better luck with Rochelle than did the varsity, but the Rochelle team still held a 13 to 6 advantage at the end of the game. Dixon met two powerful Ottawa teams and following Friday in the conference opener. Our Frosh- Soph team hit Ottawa head on and stalemated them 0 to 0. It was in the game with arch-rival Sterling that the Dukelets really came to life. Steve Sproul, Bill Buzard, Mike Coach Jack Jordan Coach Dick Franklin Windsor, and Brad Weigle collaborated for 40 points while the defensive team held Sterling scoreless. After this success Coach Jordan prepared his troops to meet Kewanee for Dixon’s Homecoming. In a hard fought contest Kewanee fell to our underclassmen 14 to 0. Streator was the only team between the Dukes and first place in the conference. This obstacle proved to be greater than it seemed, and Dixon left the field with the score 26 to 20 against them. The little Dukes played Rock Falls in the last game of the season. Dixon dominated play in the first half of the game and maintained its lead in the second half to win 13 to 6. With the returning juniors this team should provide Dixon fans next year with enough gridiron action to keep them on the edge of their seats all season long. 113 Frosh team experiences winning season TOP ROW: Mike McGowan.

Coach Rex Wallick The freshman squad, under the able guidance of Head Coach Wallick, whose winning seasons have become a tradition with the freshmen of Dixon High, again this year boasted a fine record with their six wins against a single loss. The football coaching staff followed a practice of circulating certain coaches among the various teams. In this wav the freshman boys had the assistance of Mr. La- Russa, who drilled the line, and Mr. McCarthy, who was in charge of the backfields. In addition to Mr. LaRussa and Mr. McCarthy. Mr. Bridgeman. who volunteered his aid, was a valuable addition to the staff. The first freshman game was played against Polo in Dixon with fifty-eight eager players in uniform for the Dukes. This initial bout ended in 14—6 victory for the Dukelets. In the second contest of the season. Dixon was dealt its first and only defeat, 12 to 0, by a hustling team from Rochelle. Recoiling from defeat, the young Dukes handed Newman a 13 to 3 setback. With renewed deter- mination, the Frosh team went on the road to defeat Mendota 13 to 7. Dukelets also defeated the Hubs 13 to 0 in a revenge duel at Rochelle. Upon their return the Frosh team shut out a good-sized Sterling team 15 to 0. In the last battle of the season, the team traveled to Rock Falls. Despite unfavorable weather conditions the Dukelets, led by quarterbacks Kopacz and Nunemaker, scored 27 points in a shutout against the yearling Rockets. As the record proves, the freshman squadron shows great promise and ability. Mr. Wallick has expressed the fact that if these same boys continue with the football program at DHS, the accumulated experience and increased ability may develop these boys into as good or possibly better var- sity team than we had this past season.

Their record was not particularly outstanding, but they placed fairly well in the conference meet at Sterling. This year can be considered a rebuilding year for various reasons. Steve Folsom, Jim Hess, and Sherry Dees were the only seniors on the squad. In addition to the fine juniors of this year, Coach Knutson will have a sophomore conference champion team returning. The 1963 season started with a loss to the powerful Sterling, who later went to state. In Rockford's six team meet, Dixon placed fifth. Successive defeats to Rochelle and Sterling marked the conclusion of the Dukes' losing streak. In a dual meet with Princeton, the Dukes had to settle for a 27—27 tie; however, two days later, Dixon thoroughly tromped Rock Falls, 26—30. In the Sterling Invitational, which had a field of twenty- five teams. Dixon placed twelfth. The second big meet of the year was the NCIC meet. Dixon’s varsity equalled its sixth place finish of last year. Ken Reglin, who was the team’s leading runner, placed ninth. Dixon’s fine sopho- more team set a new conference record by placing the first six runners in succession. Mike O’Conner, the speediest of the sophomores, finished well ahead of the field to win. The other five boys in the top six were Roger Perkins. A1 Mc- Cormick, Jim Dishman, Steve Logan, and Vince Hoyle. In the district meet held at Moline. Dixon placed tenth out of sixteen teams. Ken Reglin again led the Dukes by- placing twenty-third. ROCK RIVER READY MIX LINDQUIST CONSTRUCTION CO. 206 Brinton Avenue, 283-8541 TOP ROW: Sherry Dees. Steve Folsom. Jim Hess, Frank Loomis.

Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation best record in years Dixon began the 1963-64 campaign with twenty-three players on the squad. It took awhile for the Dukes to get used to their fast break play and in their opener against Rockford Auburn. Dixon stumbled to a 44—75 loss. Dixon played better in the first home game as they turned back Rochelle 56—46. The next week the Dukes went to Freeort to play in the Pretzel Box,” a stronghold which is seldom cracked by any team. Playing superb ball, the first five humbled Freeport 63—43. Later, in Sterling, the Warriors held onto a lead that left the Dukes eleven points behind at the end of the game. Dixon came back strong in the next two games and soundly defeated West Rockford and Mendota. During Christmas vacation the team journeyed to the Danville Holiday Tournament. In the championship bracket Dixon was eliminated by Rantoul 53—74. Dixon then put on the pressure as Carl Sandburg and Flora fell. In the Carl Sandburg game, the Dukes scored 81 points to set a new tournament scoring record. Dixon lost to Glennbard East in the consolation bracket but brought home the second place and good sportsmanship trophies. The Dukes played erratically in the next few weeks, los- ing to Wheaton, tromping Hall, and then losing to Prince- ton in the final seconds. Finally the Dukes pulled to- gether and defeated Rock Falls 64—57, and Geneseo 103 —70—establishing a scoring record for Lancaster Gym- nasium. Dixon then toppled Amboy 85—60 and left Ke- wanee’s Boilermakers steaming 64—52. Ottawa stopped Dixon’s four game winning streak with an upset of 57—67. However, during the Sterling game, the Dukes hit the basket with 68% of their shots, and when the smoke cleared. Sterling was beaten. Coach Franklin then shifted his team into high gear and disposed of Rock Falls,. Fulton, and Streator. Dixon entered the regional tournament and advanced to the finals by defeating Mount Morris 83—76 and Rock Falls 61—56. In the championship game. Sterling took advantage of the cool shooting by the Dukes in the second and third quarters to win 59—53. It was a sad ending to an otherwise successful season. 121 Frosh-Soph break even with 9—9 record BACK ROW: Dave Stern.

In the North Central Illinois Con- ference the Dukelets had a respectable record of five wins and five losses. Lacking height, the Dukelets had to rely on hustle, spir- it, and desire. Results of this determination were shown in the victories over West Rockford, Ottawa, and Rock Falls. The Dukelets were noted as a second-half team. In the Ottawa game, the sophomores did not play as well in the first half: but during the second half the Dukelets’ full- court press began to work, and they came from behind to tie the Corsairs 57—57 at the end of regulation time. In the overtime free throws and ball control were the decid- ing factors and Dixon won, 68—63. In the West Rockford game the Dukelets were slow to start and the first quarter ended ten to ten. The Dukelets' press then began to afTect the opposing team, and they led at the half. 24—19. In the third quarter the Dukelets could not find the range and saw their lead vanish. With three minutes left in the game, the Dukelets put on their full-court press successfully and came up with a four point lead. The ball was stolen and west Rockford scored with less than 15 seconds remaining. The Dukelets held the ball until the final horn sounded and Dixon won 48— 46. The sophomores avenged an earlier loss to Rock Falls and defeated them by the score of 55—52. Brad Weigle, Steve Sprout, Pat Self, Dave Stem, Rick Hoff, and Bill Rested were the Dukelets who saw the most action this year. For the season Dixon shot 35.6% from the field and 54.5% from the charity stripe. The leading scorer and free throw shooter was Bill Rested with a 13.6 point average and a .745 free throw percentage. This team is basically sound and should continue Dixon's basketball success next year. 122 Rested’s layout is good for two.

Posting a season record of eleven victories and four defeats, including a mark of eight wins and no losses on the home court, the 1963-64 freshman, coached by Mr. Paul LeRussa, gave promise of success for Dixon's basket- ball future. To start the season the little Dukes lost a hard-fought battle to Rochelle by a score of 37—31 but avenged the loss to the little Hubs by defeating them in a return contest 45—43. As the season progressed, the “yearlings” were beaten by the Rock Falls and Sterling freshmen with scores of 52—50 and 42—33 respectively. Dixon gained revenge in later duels with victories of 54—38 and 40—27 over these two teams. In the last five games of the season. Coach LaRussa’s cagers battled Amboy, Mt. Morris, and Polo on the road and beat Rochelle and Rock Falls at home. .Amboy was beaten for the second time as the little Dukes edged them in overtime 49—46, and Mt. Morris fell short again as DLxon scored a 38—29 victory-. In the last game of the season, Polo trimmed Dixon 46—41. The 1963-64 freshman team averaged 44 points per game and showed defensive strength by limiting their opponents to an average of 39 points per game. The fresh- men were led by Mike Kopacz. who averaged 10.5 points per game, John Knigge with a 9.9 average, and Rusty Cooper with a 7.7 average. From the charity line, Kopacz again led the way with a 70.8 percent. Players seeing considerable action were John Knigge and Bob Branson at the guard spots. Captain Kopacz and Sam Lewis at forward, and Rusty Cooper at center. These boys, and the rest of the squad, gave the freshman Dukes a very successful season. 123 Wrestlers Do Well in Stiff Competition BACK ROW: Bob Weidmen (manager), Fred Sanford.
