 Pom Pons Add To The txciremen Pompons are primarily a spirit organization. As in past years the pompon squad supported the cheerleaders in drawing enthusiasm and spirit from the football game crowd. The D.H.S. football pompon squad, advised by Mr. Ted Tru- lock, was awarded with new uniforms (with much thanks to Mrs. Slain for hard work in making them). This years football pompon squad performed at six half time shows. The pompon squad worked closely with the band for these shows. The time and effort of Mr. L'Heureux was evident in the performances of the band and pompon squad at these shows. Mrs. Trulock and Evette Fordham were a great help with working out the var- ious routines. Twenty-eight girls can have alot of problems. There is a lot of hard work that goes into being a pompon girl. But the rewards and experiences are well worth the effort. The pompon squad doing sideline routines with the German Band at half-time.

Bob Gibler. Mark Pitman. The Cross Country Dukes finished their season 7-7-1 a record that didn't reflect the true strength of the team. Having only two seniors, Kevin James and Mark Kreger, the Dukes depended heavily on their youth, as sophs Mark Pitman, Tim Fritts, and Paul Cordell all ran Varsity. What the team lacked in experience, they more than made up for in determina- tion and spirit. Co-captains Joe Bollman, Kreger, and Pitman were focal points of team unity, as they promoted total team effort through their unrelenting discipline and self effort. Although plagued by injuries all season, the team was able to put it all together at the end of the season. The Dukes placed fourth out of 17 teams at the district and headed for the sectionals at Peoria. This year was also devoted to building next year's team. All new members to the 500 Mile Club were underclassmen Charlie Hackbarth, Jeff Rumph, Bollman, and Pitman all joined the 500 Miler's, and Paul Cordell became a 1000 Miler. The Sophomore Harriers had an excep- tional season record of 10-4, not bad for a team that lost its top three runners to the Varsity.
