For an hour each day, they can travel to France, Spain, or Ancient Rome while learn- ing to speak the language of that country and in the process absorb some of its fascinating culture. Foreign languages are not all hard work; students enjoy read- ing popular cartoons in the language of their choice, singing familiar Christmas carols in not so familiar French, interpreting Latin-engraved tombstones and forming foreign-worded games from American ones.

The Shakespeare course was designed to acquaint the student with the more commonly read plays and sonnets. Prairie Echoes concentrated on Illinois and her history by way of literature. Conflicts is centered on how conflicts are shown through short stories, essays, poems, novels and plays (with empha- sis on horror, mystery, teenage conflicts and man in relation to society). All of these courses received an enthusiastic response. Mrs. Wendler begins the Christmas skit. 1. Lois Brottmiller: Comp. I B.S.A., Northern 111. Univ. Major. English; minor, sociology. 2.

Typing, Business Law, Ac- counting, and Shorthand develop practical office skills for future work or college. Work programs such as Distribitive Education and office Occupations also prepare the student for future jobs, cultivating re- sponsible job performance. Finally Consumer Educa- tion rounds off a high school education with informa- tion to aid the student whether he is house-hunting or simply filling out an income tax form.

The new program consisted of six six-week segments, allowing each student to enroll in different PE courses appealing to his individual tastes. At the start of each six-week program, the student could choose from a variety of course offerings some of which were power volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, badminton, archery, tennis, and softball. New classes were also added such as dancing, wintersports, and leadership training. Finally the PE Department instigated Co- Ed PE Classes in all non-contact sports in accordance to the new state requirement to be in effect by 1978. 1. Sam Applebaum: Health Education.

English minor, library science. The Dixon High School Learning Center (formerly called the Dixon High School Library) has had a num- ber of vast improvements made. First and most important, the Learning Center has expanded into three more rooms on the second floor, providing much needed space. All of the audio- visual equipment was moved into one of these rooms, providing a secluded and valuable resource center, pre- sided over by Mrs. Sagmoe. The other two rooms located across the hall from the main library are the new resting place for the 800’s and 900’s. These two rooms, which are separat- ed by a curtain, are ideal for study and contain many tables for this pur- pose Finally, one of the original two rooms was transformed into one used solely for periodicals. With the expansion of the Learning Center, more supervisors were need- ed since there were more rooms than librarians. In accordance, the admin- istrations added two more library workers to the staff: Mrs. Eno and Mrs. Foster. Both help to lighten the load of the two librarians. Besides the adult help, a number of students (mostly volunteers from freshman study hall) perform various tasks around the Learning Center. They check out books, check out per- iodicals, catalogue new books, and other such jobs. Since more space was available for study, additional tables were in- stalled in the rooms along with new study carrels. These carrels were de- signed for students with a serious in- tent to study, providing additional privacy. The expansion of the Learning Center was made available by the new eight-hour school day. This new system allowed more rooms to be free for classes and in turn alloted the ad- ditional classrooms on second floor to the Learning Center. Debbie Fulmer becomes absorbed in her book.

They help the student to choose from the various courses offered during high school. The counselors guide the student toward his goals by indicating appropriate courses and by help- ing to assess possible colleges or job offerings. The Guidance Office Workers not only help the students directly but also indirectly by performing varied, te- dious tasks such as typing up transcripts, organizing class ranks, registering students, and countless oth- ers. Their presence is a necessity to Dixon High School. 1. Jerry Bunt, Department Head: B.S. and M.S. Ed., Western Illinois University. Major, Music, guidance and counseling. 2.

What memories will linger the longest? Perhaps you will remember a teacher, someone you’ll always con- sider the “greatest teacher you ever had.” Or maybe you will think of your classes, so widely diverse — everyth- ing from Community Service to Life and Death. It could be you’ll remi- nisce of sports and high school com- petition, the bonire and end-of-sea- son “celebrations.” Or how about the outstanding plays and musicals: 1776, You Can't Take It With You, Hello Dolly?

Uoi� tfte The 1975 Homecoming week was kicked off with the crazy “Almost Anything Goes” Olympics, sponsred by the YMCA and held at A.C. Bowers field. Tuesday was designated as 50’s day, which proved a little less than successfu. However, the following day, clash day, was greeted with enthusiasm by teachers and students alike, who dressed in various mis-matched ensembles. On Thursday, the building spirit of the students was displayed by the many participants of Purple and White Day, accompa- nied by the presentation of honors to the Sophomores for their winning hall decorations. That afternoon, the homecoming parade wove its way through the streets of Dixon, headed by the grand marshals, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hammersmith. The colorful caravan was highlighted by the senior float, “Roaring to Victo- ry”, and by the junior float, “Win-De-Game”. “Most Original” scoRG, Bonp'Re Darapen 97.5 Homecoming Top Left: For the second consecutive year, the class of 76 received “Best Class Float Award .

All was not lost, however, as Tina Miller was crowned Dixon’s 1975 Homecoming Queen. Honored as her attendants were seniors Sandy Contreras and Jinda Panthai, junior Judy Nusbaum, sophomore Beth Shu- man and freshman Karen Mades. Completing the court were Kevin Carr and Nancy Morris as Duke and Duchess. The final activity of the week was Saturday night’s dance, featuring “Crystal Blue” and “Carousel” decorations provided by the Student Council. boraecominG pestiofttes Picture 1: The cheerleaders stir up homecoming spirit as they ride through town atop the traditional fire engine.

Lancaster Gym was filled to capacity, not only holding the entire student body, but also area news media re- presentatives and interested citi- zens. He spoke of his desires to become president, of his high school days, and answered ques- tions. In addition, he was present- ed with an honorary membership in the Dixon FFA chapter.

WEIGLE HEADS ROBED CHOIR Robed Choir has again had an active and hectic year highlighted by trips to ISU and Rich Central. At ISU the members attended a workshop where a professor of music gave them constructive advice on their singing. On a two-day tour of the Chicago area schools in February the Rich Central and DHS choirs sang for each other and viewed each others singing styles. In January six students: Paula Rittmanic, Laura Snell, Betsy Flanagan, Pe- tra Rusev, Ken Baker, and Wayne Badger were selected to be a part of the All-State Choir at Arlington Heights. In late March the choir made $1800 by selling jewelry which will be used by the choral department to pay for tours. Besides these activities, the choir par- ticipated in choral concerts, gave a successful performance in the spring musical, “Hello Dolly!” and closed the year with the Spring Happening. This year’s Robed Choir officers are: Presi- dent, Greg Weigle; Vice-President, Petra Ru- sev; and Secretary-Treasurer, Carrol Bran- denberg. Picture 1: Reflections of Robed Choir.

Be- cause of a decrease in enrollment for girls’ chorus, instead of two separate classes there was only one; also an- other ensemble was added. This group is mainly comprised of sopho- mores and is called, “Free Spirit.” During the year the choral depart- ment was active with choral concerts, the spring musical “Hello Dolly!” and finally the May Happening at the end of the year.

OSCAR-WINNER SUCCEEDS Mr. Manning’s most successful solo effort at DHS was this year’s “You Can’t Take It With You,” written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman. The play takes place in the Sycamore living room, where each member of the family practices his particular hobby. The play evolves around the Syca- more family, held together by Grandpa (Jeff Withey), an eccentric but kind old man. He nearly drives Mr. Henderson (Jeff Bollman) insane by trying to ex- plain why he should not pay his income tax. Penny (Sara Heckman), his daughter, whose hobbies are writing plays and painting, causes an embarrassing mo- ment for Mr. DePinna (Jim French) when the very distinguished Kirbys (Sue Ruffini and Ed Miller) arrive unex- pectedly for dinner. The interests of her husband, Paul (Jim Donaldson), include making fireworks. Tony Kirby (Joe Brady) and Alice (Liz Slain), Penny’s daughter, are very much in love though Alice does not think she should marry Tony because of her family. Essie (Laura Snell), a frustrated dancer, practices her ballet under the direction of Mr. Kolenkov (Scott Mas- ters). Essie’s worthless husband, Ed (Ken Baker), prints circulars to put in the boxes of Essie’s candy. Olga Katrina (Carrol Brandenberg), a friend of Ko- lenkov, calls herself a grand duchess, even though she is a waitress in a New York restaurant. Rheba (Bunny Ware), the maid, and her boyfriend, Donald (Brian Hereford), add to the comedy of the play, as does Gay Wellington (Janice Burket), a ‘slightly’ tipsy actress. While the three G-Men (Curt Bonnewell, Hal Huffman, and Dan Moine) are busy arresting Ed the fireworks explode in the basement, adding to the confusion. Thus the entire play is a series of amusing and unpredictable happenings, enjoyed by audience and players alike. Committee chairmen consisted of: Jim French, Stage Crew; Clare Brandys, Sound; Paul Roe, Lights; Barb Cur- nutte, Publicity and Make-up; Andrea Trent and Leslie Smith, Costumes; and Karla Nagy, Props and Stage Manager. 84 You Can't Take It With You' AGAIN Picture 1: (Opposite Page) Toe, heel, toe, heel, slide, slide, slide.

Picture 6: Utter chaos on stage. You Can't Take It With You 85 DOUBLE — CAST “DOLLY!” “Hello Dolly” sang and danced its way across the DHS stage and into the hearts of a record-breaking crowd. Directed by James Wiltz and Devoe Manning, the play concern the feminine wiles of Mrs. Dolly Levi (Petra Rusev, Katie Killian, Thursday), a matchmaker, and her quest to find a suitable wife for the “well-known Yonkers half-a- millionaire,” Horace Vandergelder (Greg Weigle, Scott Masters, Thursday). Meanwhile, she also concern herself with other love prob- lems. She encourages the romance between Ermengarde Vandergelder Elaine Egan, Ellen Miller) and Ambrose Kemper (Jim Donaldson, Bennett Gamel), although the girl’s uncle disapproves. Dolly is also responsible for the initiation of strong feelings between Vander- gelder’s jilted fiancee, Irene Molloy (Laura Snell, Betsy Flanagan) and his chief clerk, Cornelius Hackl (Kenny Baker, Wayne Badger). Bar- naby Tucker (Joe Brady, Tom Mott) also becomes attached — with Dolly's help — to Minnie Fay (Sue Ruffini, Paula Rittmanic). After an unsuccessful date with Ernestina Money (Liz Slain), Horace finally decides that Dolly is the only woman for him, proposes to her, and decides to live happily ever after. Once again, the DHS stage was blessed with the presence of unpar- alleled dedication and talent. These talents were augmented by the beautiful costumes, the ornate settings, and the complicated dances, which were performed with professional calibre. Those on stage are to be congratulateed, but we can’t forget the ceaseless energy of those behind the scenes, without whom the show would have been nothing. Once again, as we walk away, we wonder how they will ever top this. 86 Hello Dolly! BREAKS ATTENDANCE RECORD Hello Dolly!” was full of colorful scenes such as those pictured on these two pages.

STUDENTS DISPLAY WORKS AT FESTIVAL Dixon High School’s 1976 Fine Arts Festival once again filled the library and annexes with hundreds of Dixonites admiring the artistry of talented DHS students. The art students were not the only creative students involved; the choral department’s many groups particiated also. This page is hardly sufficient to show all the talent as displayed by the students. Works varied from sketches and painting to clay and pottery pieces, macrames, and weavings. Mrs. Helin, Mrs. Wigginton, Mr. Wiltz, and the many, many students involved indeed deserved recognition and thanks for this fine effort. This is a beautiful example of ??????? A new tradition — an instrumental recital — was started by the Dukes Concert Band during the bicentennial year. Solists and ensembles performing at the recital included many of those played at the district contest where various band members won honors. The band also presented two concerts, each with a Bicentennial theme. The first contained music from the Revolutionary and Civil War periods. The second was made up of selections written entirely by American composers. Although the German Band took charge of musical entertain- ment at basketball games, the marching band could be seen per- forming half-time shows at all home football games. They also played several selections for the Christmas assembly. Many excellent musicians represented the band at the District Band Contest, and participants Peg Barnes, Jerome Costliow, and Dan Schumacher advanced to the All-State Music Festival. In addition to these, Arnel Waring, Pam Koerper, and Wayne Badger attended the Augustana Band Festival. The band was also repre- sented by a fine group at the NCIC Music Festival. Band members spent a good part of the year selling candles to raise money for the Band Fund. Proceeds from the sale will be used for the purchase of new Color Guard uniforms and for possible trips to be taken by next year’s band. Dave Downing contemplates the structure of his trombone.

These girls, led by Dukes girl Pam Hippie and drill sergeant Kim Dusing are called upon to present the United States and DHS flags at football and basketball games, and also march with the Band in parades. Although it is often not recog- nized as one of the most important groups at DHS, the Color Guard not only adds to the Band’s pre- sentation, but no half-time would be complete without them.

GERMAN BAND, COLOR GUARD ADD LIFE TO SPORTS EVENTS German Band members have done an outstanding job of pro- moting school spirit in 1976. The band is heard at football and bas- ketball games, pep assemblies, and many other school sponsored func- tions, and are often asked to play for various groups in the communi- ty- This year for the first time in DHS history, the German band has offered the special attraction of an organist (Mark McCon- naughay), and a complete drum set has replaced the single snare drum which was used in previous years. These things when combined with great instrumental ability and a huge amount of school spirit, have enabled this year’s German Band to become one of the most success- ful ever. German Band.

Row 2: John Kemp, Greg Mullery, Vince Melendrez, The Dixon Dukes baseball squad finished their second season of play since ending the program in 1920. The Dukes piled up 28 victories against only 11 setbacks throughout a season which began in late May and extended into July. The Dukes finished second in con- ference action and managed to climb their way to the consolation cham- pionship in the Dixon Invitational Baseball Tournament held in July. Matt Rhodes, Greg Mullery, and Mark Appleman are the only players the varsity squad will lose, which means Coach Jennings will have most of his starters back next year. Mike Morrissey led the Dukes’ at- tack with 36 hits and an avg. of .391. Doug Devine was close behind with 33 hits and an avg. of .303. Although Dave Zinnnen had an avg. of .359, he only had 23 hits. But he reached the bases 29 times on walks. The entire pitching staff had an earned run average of 3.68 over 261 innings. The five pitchers fanned 262 batters, walked 140, and allowed 260 hits, nine more than collected on the year. Though the Dukes were outhit, they did outscore their opponents 223-187. Mike Morrissey received the M. V. P. award and shared co-captain hon- ors with Greg Mullery. Dave Zinnen was named Best Defensive Player. 96 Baseball Barry Barton eludes an attempted put-out at home in the Duke’s victory over the Forreston Cardinals The Dukes will have a lot of their talent back for next year’s campaign.

Baseball 97 BONFIRE HIGHLIGHTS 2-8 SEASON The most controversial single event in the public eye during a dismal two win, eight loss season was what is known as the “bonfire”. Sev- eral players were dropped from the football team for disobeying training rules, concerning consumption of alcoholic beverages. The team still managed to win one game and narrowly lost the season s finale after the fiasco. See pages 116-117 for scores. Dixon backs find it hard to get through LP line. Varsity Football.

BOY’, GIRLS’ TEAMS SEPARATE This year, for the first time, Dixon High School had a girls’ and boys’ bowling team. A boys’ team was formed because of last years’ controversy, resulting from the girls’ team winning the state championship with the help of some male team members. The girls’ “A” team finished with a 9- 3 record while the “B” team had a 6-2 season. The boys’ “A” and “B” teams were 12-3 and 12-2 respectively. Front Row: Chris Lebre, Connie Hess.

Bowling 101 VARSITY REIGNS AT CONFERENCE Winning both the conference and district titles, Duke Harriers completed a record of seven wins and one loss in dual meet competition, handing coaches Jerry Broers and Tony Edgecomb another successful season. One of those dual wins was over Princeton, snapping that school’s string of thirty consecutive dual meet victories in a 23 — 34 win on Princeton’s home course. Despite those highlights, the Dukes placed poor- ly at the sectional meet and again failed to advance to state, a feat no Dixon Cross-Country team has achieved since the 1950’s. The team ran a good race at the NCIC meet with Louie Apple, Duane Cow- ley, and Ed Love Placing seventh, ninth, and tenth respectively. Duane Cowley was elected Most Valuable Run- ner and Captain by the team, and sophomore Ben Gamel was voted Most Improved. (See pp. 116,117 for details of season record) Seniors Duane Cowley and Ed Love lead the team to District title. Louie Apple finishes strong, placing seventh at the Conference meet held in Streator.

Ben Gamel paced the team by placing first individually and became the third Dix- on sophomore to win the individual title in the last three years. Freshman Tom Mott placed second with sophomore Andy Schumacher and freshman Jim Hicks grabbing the sixth and seventh spots respectively. Freshman Mark Lawyer completed the team scoring, taking the nineteenth position. The sec- ond place team was twenty points be- hind a margin which possibly could have been more if sophomore Steve Chris- tiansen had not run varsity. The sophomore team did a fine job throughout the season, placing well in the large invitationals. The team placed fourth at the Forest City Invitational, third at the Huskie Invitational, and second at the Dixon Invite. One of the Dukes’ best performances came at the Sterling Invitational where they placed second out of twenty-two teams. Three of the sophomores received varsity letters this season. Tom Mott became the first freshman to earn a var- sity letter since Mr. Broers has been coach at D.H.S. Steve Christiansen, Andy Schumacher, and Ben Gamel were the sophomores to receive letters. Cross Country 103 DUKES CAPTURE REGIONAL TITLE For the first time since 1969 the Dixon Dukes won the Regional Tournament Title. The Dukes accomplished this by beating Princeton and then downed the Rochelle Hubs in the cham- pionship game. Dixon won six out of the last seven games of the season to finish with a four- teen wins — twelve loss record. Dixon finished fourth in the NCIC behind champion LaSalle-Peru, Sterling, and Ottawa (tied for second), and Mendota with a nine win — four loss record. See pages 116-117 for season record scores.

Dixon lost two straight games in the post-season St. Bede conference tour- nament for a final record of 12-10. The Dukelets posted a fine 4-2 mark against the Rockford schools including a 60- 59 win over the Rockford Harlem Big Nine sophomore champions. Dixon played the season without the services of sophomores Randy Donegan and Tom Evett, who were on the varsity, while Paul Smith moved up to the varsity and missed the last four sophomore games. Dan Howell led the team in scoring with 354 points for a 16.1 average per game. Howell also had the best field goal percentage with a hot 56% from the field. Paul Smith was leading rebounder with 201 and was second in scoring with 248 points. Smith had the best free throw percentage with a 71% average at the line. Joe Brady, Tom Brevitt, Paul Nusbaum, and Mike Swin- ton all played regularly throughout the season, with Pat Kessel, A1 Wolfe, Tom Stewart, and Brian Callow supply- ing capable reserve power.

John and Joe also won the District titles becoming the first brothers to win both Conference and District titles. John Green ended his high school career by placing second at the Sectional meet and earn- ing the right to compete at the State meet. Junior Randy Ha- zelwood surprised everybody by placing third at the District meet but getting to wrestle at Sectional because the first place finisher sustained an injury and could not compete. Randy went on to place second at Sectional, but his luck ran out when he was injured and could not com- pete in the State meet. The wrestlers, coached by Ron Semetis, had a dual meet record of 8-6-1.

DIXON CAPTURES DISTRICT TITLE The D.H.S. varsity golf team highlighted their season by winning the District Golf Meet. This followed the regular season in which the golfers compiled a three and nine record. The win at District allowed them to advance to Bloomington where they competed in the Sectional Golf Meet. However, despite strong hopes, the golf team did not earn the right to go to state as it finished far beyond the top three. The team started slowly as the only returning letter- man, Wally Ansted, missed the first part of the season due to a shoulder injury. However, as the young team gained more experience it showed a great deal of im- provement. Lettermen for this year included Wally Ansted, Tom Stewart, Jeff Wallace, Scott Wigginton, Stan Hack and Paul Nagy. The team was led by Coach Roy Bridgeman.

Each year, the cheerleading squad is called upon to rouse school spirit and encourage student involvement. In addition to performance of these duties, the Varsity Cheerleaders competed in two contests. They placed fourth out of the thirty-six squads at the United States Cheerleading Association — Camps All-American, which was held at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, during the summer of 1975. The squad also placed third at the Illinois State University Invitational Cheerleading Competition in March of 1976. During the year, four of the Varsity Cheerleaders were replaced by members of other squads; Lynn Camery, Diane Johnson, Karen Knack, and Denise Surrena cheered during the beginning of the basketball season. Members of the Varsity squad pictured below are, from left to right, Tina Miller, Bo Weber, Marie Lemme, Janet Walk- er, Debbie Anderson, DaVonna Miller, Patty Sitter, and Diane Hum- mel. 118 Varsity Cheerleaders SOPHS CHEER FOR UNDER- CLASSMEN Six girls were chosen to cheer each the basketball and football teams.

The forty girls were divided into two squads: one performed at basketball games, the other, during football season. Their purpose was to assist the cheer- leaders with sideline cheers and routines, as well as to stimulate the fans to cheer harder and become more involved with the games. The football pompom girls received new uniforms, while the basketball girls added more color with their new pompoms. Terri Kennedy, who produced and directed the flashlight routine (pictured at left), was captain and Julie Lendman was her co-captain. Mr. Trulock was the faculty sponsor of the girls. TWO ADVANCE TO STATE MEET Comprised mainly of underclass- men, the 1975 girl tennis team com- piled a 7-5 season record. Dixon re- ceived third place at both the district and conference meets, where Dixon was represented by Sue Hubbs, Betsy Flanagan, Lori Heeg, Sandy Hyde, Gaye Ortgiesen, and Barb Curnutte. At the Dixon Invitational, the host team placed second behind the strong Rock Island team. Dixon was also re- presented at state by senior Sue Hubbs and junior Betsy Flanagan. Coached by Mrs. Lucy Roe, the girls team promises success next year, with thirteen returning team members.

SEASON Dixon 3 Sterling 16 Dixon 5 Spring Valley 6 Dixon 6 Geneseo 14 Dixon 15 Spring Valley 17 Dixon 11 St. Bede's 10 Dixon l Sterling 14 With a disappointing one-win, six- loss season, the girls softball team’s lone victory and high point of the year came against a powerful St. Bedes team. Both the A and B teams, although composed of talented indi- viduals, were troubled by the conver- sion from the slow-pitch they play during the summer to the quicker- paced fast-pitch during the fall. Candy Stapleton was the coach of the A team, while the B team was under the direction of Marilyn Tru- lock.

The team, though suffering the loss of six of last year’s nine A-team members, proved offensive playing to be their strong point. This talent was readily displayed by superior serving, setting, and spiking throughout the season. The B-team finished a very successful season with an impressive record of 12 wins-3 losses, never failing to come out on top for a home performance. With the combination of these two teams, the girls are looking forward to a victorious season in ‘77. Above: Coaches Roe and Stapleton apprehensively keep their eyes on the game and the scoreboard.

Lori had a total of 32 field goals and 41 free throws, including a 17-point attack against Mt. Morris. Donna Pinegar finished second in scoring with 93 total points for her season’s effort. Close behind, with 92 points was Betsy Flanagan. The team was coached by Roy Brid- geman along with Lucy Roe backing the J.V. squad. With five returning junior mem- bers from the varsity team and sever- al promising sophomores and fresh- men, the ‘76 — ’77 team looks very promising. Basketball 125 THREE REPRESENT GIRLS AT STATE With the number of meets this year limited to only five, the girls’ interscholastic track team has ample time to practice. This large amount of practice paid off, for the team placed fifth at the District Meet. In addition, Mona White, Lynne Wakely, and Kelly McConnell qualified for the state meet, where they represented Dixon on May 21 and 22. The girls were coached by Lucy Roe, who was assisted by Bud Melvin. Anne Smith displays her version of the flop. Girls' Track. Front Row: Michelle Chandler, Sue Foster. Lynn Maves. Sue Long.

STUCO ORGANIZES FUN NIGHT espite an unusually large membership, this year’s Student Council remained an active group. Led by officers Bob Foster (president), om Fordham (vice-president), Jamie Anderson (treasurer), and Liz Zinnen (secre- tary) the council was involved in many school func- tions including a leadership conference in the fall and a Chicago trip. The council also planned and carried out Home- coming Week, the Friday parade and half-time cere- monies, and decorated for the dance Saturday night — “Carousel.” The Second Annual Senior Citizens’ Night in February was successful also. Something new this year was Fun Night. All stu- dents were invited to come to the school for a night of basketball, gymnastics, volleyball, pin-pong, and re- freshments. The main attraction was Paul Newman’s “The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.” The new paper, pen and pencil machine in the cafeteria was a valuable new addition too. The Student Council owes many thanks to the ad- vice, time, and suggestions of teacher advisor Otto Dick. 128 Student Council Above: President Bob Foster puts his feet up for a minute.

This club is comprised of over fifteen freshmen who sacrifice their study halls to work in the library. In short, these members maintain efficiency in the new expanded Learning Center — checking in and out books and periodicals, helping out in the Audio-Visu- al Center and running errands for both Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Sagmoe. This year’s organization, led by Presi- dent Tami Trulock, Vice-president Chris Topping, and Secretary-Treasurer Marga- ret Dempsey, is primarily a service club but plans to become more active in the future. Mike Jansen represented the Book- ies in Student Council. 136 4-H Front Row: Martin Bierdron. Linda Wilstead, David Btanscum, Row: Ralph Schaefer. Mark Lawyer. Dolores Mickley.

Our hall monitors are the single group of students who keep our school run- ning efficiently all day. Most hall monitors are freshmen who have sacrificed their dreary study halls in the crowded cafete- ria lobby to help out the adminis- tration. DHS is truly indebted to this fine group of students.

German, Jane McFetridge, Suzanne Baird, Kandi Bredburg, Terri Gerdes DIXINI EARNS FIRST CLASS RATING othing wrapped up a long Friday afternoon like receiving the bi-weekly Dixini with an hilarious and or informative CO-ED or interesting fea- tures and news. A hard-working staff cranked out seven- teen issues of our school newspaper, the Dixini, this year. Each issue held news, editorials, features, and sports. In addition to this, there were also four special eight-page issues, including the traditional Christmas and end-of-the- year issues. Such fine work earned the Dixini a first class rating. The paper, as in recent years, was printed at The Tri- County Press in Polo. Every other week, staff members traversed the state to Polo to proofread and lay out each issue. Co-editors Jane McFetridge and Bob Foster headed the group of budding young Woodwards and Bernsteins. Other key members were Dave Zinnen (sports editor), Suzanne Baird (features editor), Terri Gerdes (editorial editor), Diane Fritts (news editor), Tom Fordham (business man- ager), Mark German (assistant editor), and Alexander Tiahnybok (photographer). Of course, none of this could have been possible without the expert advising of Mr. Dempsey (Zig).

DIXONIAN UNDER- robably no activity under- taken by students in be- half of the entire student body receives so little attention and recognition from those for whom it is performed as the publication of the yearbook. The staff, a comparatively small group, undertakes to publish the major memorial of any given school year, but works in comparative obscurity and anonymity at this im- portant task. Their product appears in a non-school season with no oppor- tunity for the formal recognition their great effort deserves. It is al- most impossible to keep track of the number of man-hours this job re- quires, but we believe it exceeds that spent by any other school organiza- tion or activity in carrying out its goals, for this is not a seasonal activ- ity, but extends completely through the school year.

Dixonian 143 DRAMA MEMBERS, THESPIANS ecause drama is one of the most encompassing activi- ties at DHS, it is no surprise that a large number of students are involved in the Drama Club. The only prerequisite for membership in this club is involvement in the dramatic productions, either on stage or be- hind the scenes. Whether a student is interested in backstage work, direction or acting, the drama club provides ample op- portunity for the student to pursue these interests. As director of the fall play and co- director of the musical, Mr. Manning is the advisor of the Drama Club. President of this club, in its first year of organization, is Elizabeth Slain, Vice-president is Carol Brandenburg and secretary is Katie Killian. In ad- dition, Russy Rusev represents the club in the Student Council. Pictured above are some of the more illustrious members: Hal Huff- man gloomily wonders what prompt- ed him to miss the Drama Club pic- ture, while Sue James and Brenda Ware experiment with the grease paint to make Janice Burkit look more like a drunk. 144 Drama Club Opposite Page, Drama Club.

LEAD PLAY, MUSICAL CASTS cting as an art began over two thousand years ago when Thespis stepped out of the chorus to speak. Since then, the art has been perfected and uti- lized in many different ways. The modern dramatists are called Thespi- ans, and this is Dixon’s troupe. Al- though they are not all actors, all are involved in play production in some manner. Theatrical productions at DHS are augmented by these stu- dents, from the creativity of their art work in set design to their able lead- ership as crew chairman and student directors. These students have all probaly been involved in Drama throughout their high school years, for admission to the troupe is gained only through the accumulation of points earned in some area of drama.

NHS RECOGNIZES HONOR STUDENTS ational Honor Society’s bicentennial year was bustling with the usual inactivity. Dan Kopacz, John Ort- giesen, and Margie Anderson were elected president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, respec- tively, at the September kick-off meeting. The highlight of the year was the festive initiation of the new junior and senior members. The gala event concluded with punch and homemade treats for all. Throughout the year, Mr. Wil- lard and Mrs. Paulsen, the advi- sors, gave freely of their time to keep the club running smoothly. El presidente! These five seniors, Kathy Cook, Danny Kopacz, Marg An- derson, Bob Foster, Jane McFe- tridge, and Bob Ford, represent- ed Dixon High School at the 1976 Rotary Bowl held in Strea- tor, sponsored by the Rotary Club. Coached by Jane Weaver, and “Neil” Dimond , the Dixon team finished the day with a 2- win, 2 loss record, placing in the upper eight of thirty-two teams. 146 National Honor Society Spring Honored Seniors.

One of the highlights of ev- ery spring is the annual Na- tional Honor Society initi- ation ceremony. NHS officers and selected senior members defined the qualities of NHS initiates. Mr. Boyer also made a few comments — something to the effect that even though this year’s sen- iors aren’t terribly smart, they “have a good sense of humor.” No offense was tak- en though. The solemn candlelit cere- mony ended with merrymak- ing and refreshments pro- vided by members with culi- nary skill. The night will defi- nitely linger in the minds of many for years.

National Honor Society Induction 149 Petra Rusev, September Student of the Month, as Dolly Levi in Friday's cast of “Hello Dolly!” Each of the nine months of the school year, Student Council representatives, club and class officers nominate and vote on Student of the Month. These students are chosen for their extra-curricular activities, service, leader- ship, and scholarship. This year the election proceedings were changed somewhat. First the qualities desired in the nominee were read at the beginning of each meeting. Also the actual counting of votes was altered so that a tie be- tween two students would be eliminated. Doubtless many, many students were well qualified for this honor and it was indeed a difficult taks, (at times, harrying and underhanded), to choose a mere nine stu- dents. The council’s choices were all worthy of the award: Petra Rusev, Jan Jacobson, Kathy Cook, Terri Kennedy, Dan Kopacz, Ken Baker, Thomas Fordham, Diane Fritts, and Katie Killian.

Each winner then filled out a questionnaire and wrote an essay telling what plans they had for the future and why they chose the fields they did. A panel of judges from the Dixor National Bank reviewed each essay and chose the out- standing student for Student of the Year. Dan Kopacz, January Student of the Month, was the final selection anc received the two tb 'send dollars to be used for his educa- tion.

May 26. Many outstanding stu- dents were recognized for their scholastic and athletic endeav- ors. The program started with the presentation of scholarships. Sue Haberer, Paul Coomes, Mike Leblanc, and Bob Ford earned Rotary Club Scholarship, while Barb Curnutte, Peggy Tully and Arnel Waring won the three AMCC scholarships. Sue Haberer was awarded the Kiwanis Scholarship. Micky Gustin, foreign exchange student, won a special award for her work in French. Dixini co-editor, Jane McFetridge, was awarded the Dixini Most Valuable Staffer Award, while Karla Nagy and Clare Brandys picked up their prizes for the VFW Voice of Democracy Contest. Several athletes were honored for earning letters in three or more sports: Jane Coomes, Lori Heeg, Gary Magnafici, Chris Mullery, Kay Schrock, Kathy Cook, Mary Gridley, Pam Koerper, John Ortgiesen, Donna Pinegar, and Jeff Webb. Two athletes in particular received special recognition — Dan Kopacz won the Marvin Winger Outstanding Athlete award and John Ortgiesen was named the Ed Trotter Memorial Most Valuable Athlete of the Year Award. Dan Kopacz and Bob Ford also won the Bauch and Lomb Science Award; Liz Anderson won the Betty Crocker Family Living Award; Kathy Cook and Dan Kopacz were presented with the DAR and SAR Awards. The music department gave the John Phillip Sousa Award and the National School Choral Award to Jerome Costliow and Petra Rusev, respectively. Kathy Cook was named winner of a prestigious biggie, the Marvin Winger Award, as Dan Kopacz ran off with the biggie of them all — Student of the Year. (Rumor has it that Dan invested in the stock market with the two grand and lost it all.) 152 Honors Assembly Picture 1: Dan Kopacz receives Student of the Year and congratulations from CarrCook becomes the first girl in DHS history to win the Marvin Winger Award.

BACCALAUREATE, GRADUATION Baccalaureate and graduation end- ed four eventful years for 308 Dixon High School seniors. Held on May 30th, Baccalaureate was a religious ceremony which allowed the gradu- ates to reflect about their four years of high school. Rev. Andrew Downing spoke to the graduates, encouraging them to find the Lord through love. Robed Choir added a further serious note with their number, “The Song of Democracy”. Graduation was held on June 3. Speakers for the event were Margaret Anderson, Salutatorian, Bob Ford, Valedictorian, Bob Foster, Student Council President and Richard Boyer, Principal. DaVonna Miller de- livered the invocation and John Ort- giesen read the Benediction. Mr. Boyer singled out two graduates for special recognition: Mary Gridley, for her acceptance at West Point, and Barb Curnutte, for her four years of perfect attendance. Four years ended as the DHS Band played the Recessional and the graduates filed out of Dixon High for the last time.

Just how does one say goodbye to his classmates, his school, his adolescence? There are both pain and pleasure in it, for it signifies a successful completion of a phase of life, an achievement in which we can take pride; but likewise there is the painful pang of parting, the lingering touch, the clinging, searching gaze as we turn away, the frustration of failure to find the right words to say. But perhaps this is the best way. Eloquence here would seem superficial and insincere; grand rhetoric would seem planned and pedantic. So be it — a lingering touch, a searching glance, and — goodbye, good luck, old friend. a i biji ljvi rjurjk ua 3 ft t tc t t?
