After the school referendum was passed in April, 1985, several school functions were re-established and returned to their former status. One extracurricular activity, however, remained unfunded: the yearbook. Fortunately for the students of DHS, the Golden Kiwanis agreed to again sponsor the advisor increment for the yearbook. They earned part of the needed dollars from activities such as the four $100 shopping sprees offered through a ticket raffle. The money from the raffle went into a general fund, and a portion of this was donated to the DIXONIAN. The majority of the funding for the yearbook, however, came from the pursuit of newsprint. The Kiwanis, with the help of this year's DIXONIAN staff, held three citywide paper drives in the summer of 1985. On August 31st all the accumulated paper was loaded in a semi- trailer bound for Oregon. The total weight of the paper amassed 19,500 pounds and yielded $292.50. Through projects such as the DIXONIAN paper drive, the Kiwanis have been relatively important to Dixon, not only for the generating of monies for local organizations, but also for their intense community spirit.

OPEN THE YEAR “Where did the summer go? you ask when crossing the Peoria Avenue drawbridge or student parking lot moat into DHS. Another year has already begun. Some things are always the same, like jammed lockers, confused freshman, hall monitors, and the perennial en- emy, homework. As you spend a typical day here, though, you realize some changes have taken place. You breath a sigh of relief at 9:35 when the longest period of the day — 50 minutes — is over. PE is next; you'll undoubtedly run the track this morning — the track that was rebuilt from last year's flood damage. Several times today you'll run into the newcom- ers of DHS — nearly 300 strong. But hopefully your, meetings with new ad- ministrators Mr. Brunick and Mr. Rog- ers will be salutations in the halls — not conferences in the new disciplinary of- fice (room 128). Odds are that sometime today you'll a) have a new or returning teacher, b) take a recently added or returned class, or c) have classes like computer pro- gramming or psychology, which have been located in three different rooms the past three years. All this shuffling around could cause a despondent senior to remark, Every- thing old is new again. I 4 1. Sean Rock.

The five period schedule was a result of failed referenda and major budget cuts previous to the 1984-85 school year. This “rigid schedule forced many elective classes into the history books, but it was a short chap- ter. A successful referendum campaign was launched in the spring of 1985. A direct result of this was the addition of two periods to the high school sched- ule. Along with the seven period day, came the much-welcomed 45 minute classes. (Remember when 45 minutes was only three quarters of the class?) Also an enthusiastic enrollment in elec- tives returned. The music, home eco- nomics, and industrial arts depart- ments were quickly revived from their dying state. In the 1984-85 school year, most ju- niors and seniors attended classes from periods 1-5, while most under- classmen were present during periods 2-6. A few unfortunate people had their free period somewhere in the middle of the day. Those who had 'B' lunch had to wait until 1:00 o'clock and then often had just one afternoon class. These problems were solved when the five pe- riod day was changed to seven. Since all students attended the same periods, athletes and other groups were not forced to wait for others after school. Lunch was still fourth hour this year, but do to shorter classes, the latest lunch ended at 12:40 — not 1:30. (Growling stomaches were reduced by 78%) ABOVE: The last three years at DHS have brought about as many changes to the daily schedule. After the Early Bird schedule was eliminated, an alternating 1-5. 2-6 schedule was implemented, followed by the freedom-filled seven period day. TOP LEFT: It's 11:45 as class begins. TOP RIGHT: Just 45 minutes later, it's time to go. Relatively speaking, time flies when there aren't hour classes. ABOVE: Electives received a boost in enrollment due to the seven period day. Here.

The custodians had a busy sum- mer between the usual shifting of classrooms and an extensive amount of painting, including the third floor corridor, second floor lockers, and all restroom partitions, ceilings, and walls. Fall construction centered on areas inside and outside school boundaries. The cafeteria, teacher, and Lincoln Statue Drive parking spaces were resurfaced, and the road between the bandshell and the river was repaired and graveled. The football field, track and fence, like the road, were refurbished from the damage done in the deluge of early 1985 flooding. The major renovations of '85-’86 came as part of a $3.4 million con- tracting project for the entire dis- trict. The plans, which included clay- tiling the roof, installing an energy management system, new windows on much of the building, and replac- ing the intercom system, were put to the test that fall with the bulk of the work completed the following spring.

The stands begin to fill up early. 3 The time was 8:47. The date: Friday, October 6, 1985. The familiar sound of the xylophonic scale blasted over the P.A. system. Then the announcement: Tonight is our first home football game. We expect students to be on their best behavior, as if they were in the classroom. An outcry of laughter arose from all parts of the building, as the class of '86 had partying on their minds. The bleachers filled early, in spite of a heat wave which prompted some schools to release students early. By the start of the varsity game, the high school section was packed, with most other places at near capacity. Simultaneously, the Dukes were getting set to take on the DeKalb Barbs, a team previously ranked fourth in the state. Dixon played exceptionally well in the early going, creating a 14-0 lead before DeKalb rallied to tie the game at 14 by the half. A hard-fought second half resulted with the score deadlocked: Dukes 21, Barbs 21. On the first overtime series, both teams scored TDs. After DeKalb failed the two-point conversion, Dixon had a chance to win but muffed the extra point. In double OT, the visitors took the lead 34-27, and an ensuing Barb inter- ception ended Dixon’s bid. But the Duke's performance made for one of the most exciting games of the season. 9 OFF TO A FRESH START 1. A really young fan enjoys the game with Angie Blaine. Sonja Nicklaus. and Sue Kessel. 2.

While the heart and soul of any high school is in its academics, the body-namely. the student body, re- flects its true character and direction through spirit, involvement, and recreation. Students at DHS definitely have spirit, from wear- ing togas on Homecoming Day to actively supporting community needs, like the Bloodmobile. Being a stu- dent at DHS can mean involvement-dedication in the classroom, in the gym, in extracurricular activities, and in the work force. After 3:10 weekdays and on weekends, however, no one knows how to have a good time more than the students of Dixon High School. 1 Headlines AIDS: Fear, Confusion, Conflict Mexico: The Killer Quake South Africa: What Can Be Done?

Monday was Hawaiian Day, Tuesday was Cubs Sox Day, Wednesday was College Sweats Day, Thursday was Dress-up Look Nice Day, and Friday was Crazy Hair, Purple White, Toga Day. The Student Council sponsored a teacher’s breakfast, Flowers for a Friend, the Homecoming Halftime, and the Home- coming Dance. Early in the week the Homecoming Court was selected. The King and Queen were named at halftime of the varsity football game on Friday. The halls were decorated, and on Friday dur- ing 7th hour the cheerleaders and Pom-Pon girls led a pep assembly with a banner contest. The big week ended with the Homecoming dance at the Dixon Elks Club. Red and silver streamers and metallic heart balloons were hung. The theme was Cherish the Night by Kool and the Gang. It was definitely a big week for DHS. 4 1. Cory Trotter — The party's right here! 2. Choral members put on a big halftime show. 3. Is that really Raggedy Ann on your toga?

The NCA sets standards that high schools must meet, but in the 1984-85 school year. D.H.S. did not meet these requirements due to cuts. This year D.H.S. again met the standards. Under the direction of Mr. Larry Chidley, the steering committee completed its evaluation. Students, faculty, school board members, and parents served on committees to study facilities, student services, and curriculum. The curriculum was one of the main areas of change during the 1985-86 school year. Latin again appeared on the list of course offerings, as did shorthand and boys and girls choruses. Math requirements for graduation were in- creased to a minimum of two years. All physical education classes, consisting mainly of basic skills in various sports, met daily and the credit value was raised to a full credit. Advanced placement classes, such as A.P. Literature, Com- position, and History, were offered and a test was offered in May. If a student scored high on them, he could be granted exemptions from certain college requirements. These changes were made for this year and with the work of the curriculum committee, there are bound to be more in the future. During the year, late starts and early releases allowed the committees time to work. Because of all the effort put into the evaluation, construction and curriculum changes, we can be sure to look back in the future and see how the changes have improved D.H.S., its students, and the com- munity as a whole. 18 Marion Anderson, 1st Year, English 9A 9B.

Not phased by rambling halls, masses of unknown faces or un- predictable happenings at D.H.S., they bright- ened the halls of third floor with their pep. The freshman class was active in Student Council, always ready to volunteer for another good cause. With Toni Bolin as President. Mark Rudolphi as Vice-President, and Jill Heacock as Secretary Treasurer, they steered their class through the year. Already thinking ahead, the freshman class sold candy bars to raise money for their prom. This trendy class of go-getters learned the ropes and are already hurdling toward success. Adcock.

Tiffame 33 SOPHOMORES No longer wet behind the ears, the sopho- more class plunged into the activities and events going on. They embraced the new ac- tivities that were offered to them with open arms. The enthusiastic individuals grabbed the new ideas and flew away with them. The students were not going to sit by and watch things happen, they made things happen. The core of the student spirit was their motivated class officers. President Carl Johnson was always swinging three or four projects at once. Sue Larkin, as Vice Presi- dent, was there to keep things running smoothly like a well-run machine. Sophy Hong, who served as Secretary Treasurer, took care of the blooming account of the sophomore class, especially when they tried to clothe the school in Dixon sweatshirts, which they sold as a fundraiser.

Lori 39 In the 1985-86 school year the junior class experienced major changes for the better. Lockers on first floor, more freedoms, more choices, and more opportunities. The junior class was led by Mark Moeller, President. Aaron Mobarak was the Vice-President and Andrea Nagy served as the Treasurer. Although the juniors had a sunny year, two tragedies clouded their lives. Two of their class- mates died, leaving empty holes. This poem is dedicated in memory of Tim Bonnell and Jeff Clawson. We will miss them. Gone Forever” He who brought us much joy and laughter; We will miss you always from day one to the day after. We know you are in great peace wherever you are; And all memories of you will travel far. For you my friend, we will always treasure; So long, as you are gone but not forever. — Shannon Meyes JUNIORS Officers: Mark Moeller. Andrea Nagy and Aaron Mobarak Adams. Usa Amenda. Sheryl Ames.

Jacki LeSage — avoiding a hall aide? 46 o Seniors spend summers in Europe A popular locale among a few members of the class of '86 was France. In the summer of 1983, Jennifer Considine, Jacki Lesage, and George Mobarak went with Madame Schafer to France. The next year Amy Deets traveled there with Sterling French teacher Nancy Kuhnert, and between his junior and senior years, Jason Ayars spent part of his summer biking in the country. The voyagers had different concerns before departing for France, including not having enough money or clothes and the fear of getting lost or losing belongings. “I thought it would be scary — with the people speaking a different language, I thought I'd feel isolated, Jennifer con- fided. But that didn't happen — what I learned in French helped me communicate.” For those who traveled with Madame, one unforgettable moment involved sampling escargot. Each of the students found the French delicacy to be O.K.”, but no one ordered seconds. According to the visitors, the French act more reserved and less personable toward outsiders than Americans do. We had to be careful about how we behaved in restaurants and about leaving wrappers on the ground. We think foreign travelers in the U.S. are dirty, but Europeans feel that way about us,” stated Amy. The French think all the littering in their subways is done by Americans.” “Guys don’t worry about being overly macho or mascu- line, explained Jacki. They like girls, but are friendlier to- ward each other and dress neater than American guys.” In France, teens date in groups, not as couples. They party all night, leaving home about 11, going dancing and staying at discos until 3 a.m., when they close. Then they go to breakfast, not returning home, the girls explained. Le touristes Americains Jacki Lesage. Jennifer Considine. and Amy Deets. Highlights of the trip included Chateau Chenonceau, dates with the opposite sex in Sollanches, Avignon, visiting an Eng- lish class at a French lycee (high school), and staying with a French family one night. The lined rows of trees along Fran- ce’s new-looking highways made touring the country espe- cially pleasurable. Jason, his brother and his mother endured constant rain traveling to Normandy, but enjoyed the sun of the Riviera and meeting people from all over the world at youth hostels. Last year, Jacki spent a month in northern Europe as a Rotary exchange student. Sweden and Denmark were clean and pretty and had beautiful people, but the Swedes were SO neat and SO considerate that at times it drove me nuts. When asked if they would recommend traveling abroad, the individual responses were overwhelmingly “Yes!” Knoll Petunia During the school year, DHS stu- dents crowned a Homecoming Queen, Queen of Hearts, and a prom queen, but Mary Knoll became the first royalty of the year, as Petunia Festival Queen 1985. While reigning, Knoll and atten- dants Kim Rice and Tammy Hum- phrey attended numerous festival events, including opening the Petu- nia Festival at the Dixon Men's Gar- den Club Pancake Breakfast. Mary attended sporting events such as the high school slo-pitch all star games, the big wheel and the raft races, Gymnastics in the Park, and the K.S.B. — Telegraph tennis tourna- ment. She represented Dixon at Air- Queen port '85, the Taste of Sauk Valley, and the crowning of king and queen during Old Settlers’ Day. The Court was presented to the community at the 1940's Victory Ball, where Mary presented several dance contest awards. She personal- ly greeted singer T.G. Sheppard and welcomed him to Dixon, and along with her court, represented the Pe- tunia City at 15 parades of nearby communities during the summer. The highlight of it all was the Pe- tunia Festival Parade. Representing Dixon as 1985 Petunia Queen will be a lasting memory I'll never forget, concluded Knoll. 48 Cornwell placed in DHS office Nearly everyone has at sometime wanted to be in a rock n’ roll band, and singer Brad Dixon (above) and bass player George Mobarak of Sig- nal” have had that thrill. Lead guitarist Jeff Hamilton, drummer Sean Rock, and vocalist guitarist Marv Van Weelden ('84) comprise the rest of the group. In the summer of 1982, Sean Se- guin and George began playing to- gether, and Brad started hanging out and singing with them. Two The work release program has successfully prepared students for adult employment for several years, but 1985-86 was the first year a stu- dent learned about the real world by being sent to the office. Barb Cornwell started her work day one hour before the other stu- dents began school. Then after four class periods which included U.S. History, P.E., shorthand, and ICO and an hour lunch, she returned at 1 o'clock for two more hours of help- ing the secretaries, the administra- tion, and the school. Cornwell’s many responsibilities included stamping and sorting mail, finding purchase orders, filing a vari- ety of records, some typing, answer- ing phones, and other odd jobs. Her work on the office computers includ- ed typing the North Central evalua- tion reports. When asked what being both a stu- dent and school employee was like, Barb replied, It was different being around Mr. Johansen and Mr. Mitch- ell, but after a while I got to know them as people, not just administra- tors. “Sometimes Mr. Johansen or Mr. Mitchell gave me tasks to do, but Mrs. Cathey usually explained what needed to be done,” she stated. How did her friends react? “I thought they would treat me differ- ently, but they accepted my in- school job. Getting along well with teachers was really nice as well. The Signals” of Success years later, Janet Slain ('85) asked the trio to perform during the Home- coming Assembly. “Seguin, the real founder of the group, was in the process of moving away, so we got other people togeth- er,” recalled Brad. Signal later played at high school dances and at the “Back to School Bash” at the Dixon Theater. How did they get their name? “We just came up with the name on the spur of the moment,” explained Dix- on. The music of Signal is primarily top 40. but both Brad and George enjoy playing a wide range of categories, especially rock. Our style changes with different personnel and the available equipment. At the theater we did more pop music with the key- boards.” While the seniors like to perform Louie, Louie”, or Surrender by Cheap Trick, and rock from Boston and Led Zeppelin, each member of the group listens to different kinds of music. Signal generally does songs by well-known artists, but the group has done songwriting, with Jeff Hamilton as the main writer. Practice is erratic, but having at least one session a week is essential, insists Dixon. We've stayed togeth- er because of hard work and disci- pline, although it's easier to not take time to practice.” The best part of being in a band, according to Mobarak, is being on stage and hearing people screaming and clamoring for more. If you make a loud noise, people will notice you, If you make loud noise and you are good, they’ll really notice you.” LI A melancholy shadow was cast over our class on June 4, 1985, with the passing of Renee Long, 2Va weeks after the junior prom. 49 Officers: Sec. Treas. Amy Deets, Vice Pres. Chris Beede. Pres. Wendy Zick- uhr. The class of 1986 was one of the most successful to pass through DHS. With 29 state scholars, 24 Student Council representatives, state finalists in athletics, and impressive fall plays and spring musical performances, this class of many overachievers displayed talent in a variety of sectors. Class officers Wendy Zickuhr, Chris Beede, and Amy Deets were kept busy with prom preparations and designing the senior class announcements. They sold school mugs so all students could have a memory of DHS, and began planning for class reunions. Dedication and hard work brought talents to light, as this year's graduates left their mark on the DHS staff and com- munity for 1986 and beyond.

Doug Collins — Secretary. Jim Ferolo — Treasurer, and Carl Amos Johnson — Press Secretary. Mr. Otto Dick was the advisor. The officers had meetings during the summer to plan the Homecoming Dance and other events. A large group of over eighty volunteers joined StuCo this year. Several projects were Homecoming, regular school dances, the Bloodmobile. the refreshment stands at games, and creating school spirit as a whole. Carl Amos Johnson was head of the Christmas assem- bly. He and his committee members met every day until the project was completed. Becky Stover was committee chairman for the Turn-About dance in March, and Barb Chidley was committee chairman for the Fine Arts Festi- val. The Council met weekly on Wednesdays at 7:45 a m. in the auditorium. Graduate Larry McIntyre ( 83) came to the council asking if they would like to participate in a T V. show airing on Channel Seven. Many members signed up for such jobs as acting, co-producing, interviewing, etc. The Council is not a service club, but helps the school and community. With much participation and hard work we had a suc- cessful year. 74 OVER EIGHTY MEMBERS JOINED Juniors: Sitting Row 1 M Kelly Ames. Dennis l ee. Andrea Nagy Row 2 Amy Densmore.

At the second one, over forty pints of blood were donated. To be a donor a student must have been 17 or older.

Later the club decided to sell raffle tickets and Flowers for a friend for St. Patrick's Day. A drug-awareness poster contest involving all 7th and 8th graders in the Dixon schools was planned. The goal was to teach students how harmful drugs can be. They also participated in the Fine Arts Festival. Meetings were held once a week. 77 THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK This year's fall play, The Diary of Anne Frank, was DeVoe Manning’s 12th time at directing. It chronicles the lives of two Dutch Jewish families who take refuge in an attic above a business building in Amsterdam. It is the true story of Anne Frank (Angie Wentling), a young Dutch Jew- ish girl. Anne writes about her experiences while waiting for the Holocaust of World War II to end. The families are cut off from the rest of the world for two years, in which they live in fear of being discovered. The Franks and the Van Daans are aided by Miep (Amy Densmore) and Mr. Kraler (Brad Dixon). Both provided food and news from the outside world. Dussel (Dennis Drew) comes to live with the Franks and the Van Daans, due to the possibility of being sent off to a concentration camp. Happiness comes to the group during their first Hanuk- kah together when everyone receives a gift from Anne. During the celebration a thief is heard downstairs, but runs away, leaving everyone in the fear of being found. Many changes take place in the character's attitudes — Anne's relationship with her father (Eric Francque) grows, while she becomes distant with her mother (Mandy Hull) because she compares Anne to her sister Margot (Chris Fordham). Anne and Peter (Jim Ferolo) begin to see each other as boy and girl. The Van Daans (Carl Johnson and Jacci Beard) grow angry toward each other. During the time spent in the attic, Mr. Van Daan fre- quently steals small amounts of food. When this is discov- ered. Mrs. Frank flies into a rage, ordering the Van Daans to leave. In the middle of the quarrel, Miep comes with the good news the invasion has arrived. This brings happiness into the families once more. It is destroyed, though, because of the thief on that joyous Hanakkah night; he had heard noises above and had gone to the Gestapo and told of his findings. The Green Police are sent to the building to take the Franks, Van Daans and Mr. Dussel away. Mr. Frank is the only one to survive the hellish experience of the concentration camp. The last things Anne did before being led away were to make one last entry in her diary and hide it. When her father returned to the attic for the final time, he found the diary containing Anne’s final words, which read In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.

The 1985-86 DHS Choral Department has become even better than last year. Under the direction of Mr. Wiltz, the department has three choirs: the Robed Choir, the Treble Choir, and the Mixed Chorus. The officers of Robed Choir were Brad Dixon, President; Mandy Hull, Vice President; Jim Ferolo, Secretary; Jody Heacock, Treasurer; Nancy Vernier, Soprano Leader; Cindy Whitcombe, Alto Leader; Kevin Strock, Tenor Leader; and Sean Rock, Bass Leader. Mike Berman, Karen Brown, Barb Chidley, and Cindy Whitcombe served as accompanists. They took part in the NCIC Festival at NIU on Nov. 21. On Nov. 16 the choir attended Districts at NIU. They also performed their annual Christ- mas Concert on Dec. 15. A new addition to this event was the bell choir. The Millikin University Choir performed at DHS on Jan. 6. The following day, Richard Hoffland, the director, and his students held a workshop for our choral department. A spring musical was presented and will be covered in the supplement of this book.

They also planned a Donkey Basketball Game” on March 21st at the High School. BOOSTERS BRING BEARS This year the Athletic Booster Club’s main fund raiser involved bringing the Chi- cago Bears over to the High School for a basketball game. Their main goal was to raise several thousand dollars for track equipment. They met once a month in the cafeteria where the public was invited to hear the coaches and the athletic director talk about their programs and needs.

They also had a Snowmobile Safety Class, went to a parliamentary procedure contest and a grain fair. The highlight was when they went to the National F.F.A. Convention in Kansas City. A fund raiser was also held in which the organiza- tion sold M Ms. This year’s Green Hand, or first year officers were President Mike Bushman.

One of the students. Barb Cornwell, was placed in our own office here at school. This was a new location this year. Other students were placed in supermarkets, floral shops, food chains, clothing stores, restaurants, and other stores according to the student's interests. The Work Program is designed to teach students about the working world and to give them experience in that world. The students attend a class and learn basic business ideas. Later, they are re- leased early from school to go to their jobs. They are graded by their employers based on performance, attitude, and work habits. They are also graded by their teacher on the class work. The students enrolled in the Work Pro- gram not only get a head start in learning about the working world — business, ser- vice, or industry type jobs — they also get hands-on experience performing those jobs. D.H.S. sent more students this year to White- side Area Vocational Center (WAVC) in Ster- ling. The juniors and seniors met in the cafeteria at 7:30 am to catch their bus to the center. At WAVC they went to classes to learn vocational skills such as marketing, mechanics and hair dressing. WSDR Radio Station sponsored the second an- nual WSDR Scholastic Bowl Competition. Twen- ty-four Rock River Valley area high schools began a twenty-four week battle to find out who possessed the knowledge to wear the intellectual crown as “best of the best. The Scholastic Bowl was created last year as an opportunity to display the academic abilities of students of area high schools. The contest has grown from the original sixteen teams last year to the twenty-four teams this year. The teams in- cluded Dixon, Amboy, Polo, Morrison, Erie, Rock Falls, Sterling. Newman, Byron, Stillman Valley, Sa- vanna, Prophetstown, Tampico, Unity Christian of Fulton, Manlius, Walnut, Franklin Center, Milledge- ville. Oregon, Bethel Christian of Dixon, and Twin City Nazarene. Our team was coached by Mrs. Weaver on Thurs- day mornings at 8:00. Mike Washburn was the captain of the seven- member group consisting of Orin Albrecht, Mike Washburn, Barb Chidley, Lori Craft, Chris Hale, Dan Kirk, Doug Slothower, and Shaun Swarts. The Scholastic Bowl Competition aired live each Friday evening at 6:30. Below: John Fredrickson, the man with all the ques- tions. ACADEMIC BOWL Row 1: Orin Albrecht. Mike Washburn. Barb Chidley.

At Dixon High School mes- sages are sent via Hall Moni- tors. Each hour there are gener- ally three hall monitors for the Main office, two moni- tors for the Guidance office, and one monitor for the Dean of Students’ office. The hall monitors collect atten- dance and deliver messages for the offices. When they are not collecting atten- dance, they sit at their sta- tion in front of the main hall- way and record the absent students. The hall monitors are ex- cused from study hall to do their job. To be a hall monitor, one signed up in the main office for his study hall hour and proved to be responsible.

THE DIXINI The Dixini staff produced one news- paper every month this school year. The staff met three times to organize and design the paper each month and an additional time to deliver the papers to classrooms. The staff consisted of Advisor Mrs. Sue Lawton, Editor Mike Washburn, Edi- torials Editor Jackie LeSage, Editorials Assistant Lori Craft, News Editor Karey Keith, News Assistant Karen Brown, Features Editor Barb Chidley, Features Assistant Shaun Swarts, Sports Editor Brian Martin, Sports Assistants Scott Edgecomb and Chris Harshman, Re- porters Jenny Wermers, Sophy Hong, Mary Johns, and Kelly Ames, Business Manager Mike Reed, and Photogra- phers Pat Pauser and Jody Dyche. The changes this year included a twelve-page Christmas issue and the use of the school's new computer mo- dem. By using the computer modem, the staff sent its articles to the publish- er, Tri-County Press in Polo, via tele- phone lines and saved time and publish- ing costs. Through the course of the school year, the eight-page paper was pub- lished eight times — a total of 9600 copies or 1200 copies per issue. All stu- dents who purchased an activity ticket received a copy of the paper.

Left: Mrs. French shows Lynn Toms how to do the choral layout. The New and Improved” edition has arrived! The theme was chosen to represent the new classes, teachers, and organiza- tions that have been made since the passing of the referendum. Mrs. Geraldine French and Mrs. Marion Anderson served as our advisors. Shaun Swarts, as a veteran of the 1985 staff, became our “New and Improved” editor. Nancy Cowley was his assis- tant senior class editor. Kim McIntyre aided Shaun as assistant editor and underclassmen editor. Our book was printed by Herff Jones, our new yearbook company. We also decided on a new and slightly smaller yearbook size, making the book more proportional. Our photographers were: Pat Pauser, Jody Dyche, Dennis Lee, Jennifer Commons, Jennifer Hofmann, Sara Hyde, and Brian Walk. The impressive art work was cre- ated by Steve Flanagan, Jennifer Hofmann, and Sara Hyde. The complete staff included Lynn Toms. Mary Johns, Kelly Ames, Mike Washburn, Kara Longtin, Tammy Stienstra, Lynn Gerdes, Eric Francque, Elena Roach, Dawn Boehle, Alicia Scarentino, Brian McGuire. Chris Harshman, Jodi Linscott, Larry Hill, and Kelly Andrews. Some funds for the book came from paper drives in cooperation with the Golden K” Kiwanis Club. Ads were sold by Dan Marquez, business manager, and his assistant Larry Hill. Money also came from patrons, a helpers fee from the professional photographer who did our seniors and groups when memory mates were taken. These monies enabled us to give the students more than just the black and white book for which they pay. The Dixonian is a self-supporting book and put together completely by student volunteers. We hope that we captured some of the memories of the past year and that you enjoy it as much as we have. 90 Above Left: We want a good football action picture with a space in the middle to cut it for the gutter.

Highlights of the season included a 42-21 win over Rock Falls and a 14-7 win over archrival Sterling in their homecoming game. The most memorable game of the year, how- ever. was the 8-0 victory over Otta- wa at A.C. Bowers field. From 10- yard line to the 10-yard line and side- line to sideline the field was one massive mud puddle. The continuing downpour combined with the field conditions resulted in numerous tur- novers for both teams and a 0-0 score with just a couple of minutes remaining. A long pass from quarter- back Matt Eaton as the final minute ticked down set up the Duke touch- down that gave Dixon the victory, their first of a three-game winning streak. Following the season, Jon Cooper resigned from his position as head coach of the Dukes. The resignation marked the end of his six-year reign which was composed of an 18-36 re- cord. Several outstanding players were recognized at the awards banquet for their efforts throughout the sea- son. Brian Fetterolf received the team’s ’’Most Valuable Player award. Fetterolf, later named to the All-Area Team, finished second on the team in tackles (65) and he was co-leader in interceptions with 3. Ron Griffin was named Offensive Player of the Year For the third straight season, Sean Quick received the Special Teams Player of the Year award. Receiving the Bus Egler Memorial Award for the most improved player was Dan Long while the Scott Maves Award went to Eric Brown. SCOREBOARD Fulton 6-14 DeKalb 27-34 Rochelle 20-13 Geneseo .

The Duchesses were led by Junior Lisa Adams, the team's Most Valuable Play- er”; Adams was also a member of the Telegraph's All-Area Volley- ball Team, and the top scorer for the Duchesses. Other players who contributed much to the team were starters Heidi Turner, Christie Holland, Chris Fordham, Tracy Humphrey, and Tina Consuelos. The highlight of the season was a respectable 4th place finish at the Dixon Invitational. The girls hope to have a winning season next year with several returning lettermen.

Both squads attended Cheerleading Camp this past July at NIU. They spent a week learning new cheers and attend- ed workshops on improving techniques of cheering. The girls also participated in an area competition sponsored by Sauk Valley. They competed with eight other schools. The girls practiced twice a week and cheered at all the home games. They cheered at the school assemblies also, to help raise the school spirit. Mrs. Corken in her second year as advising of the cheerleading squads, helped organize fundraisers which in- cluded a rummage-bake sale, a car wash and workshops for the grade- schoolers. With the money they earned, new uniforms were purchased for the upcoming season. Kim Diehl and Traci Brimm cheering our Dukes to victory. 1 U A9s— 100 Left, top to bottom: Mandy Hull. Janet Hagen.

STARTING ON THE RIGHT FOOT With 10 returning seniors and 14 new girls added to the squad, the 1985-86 Pom Pon Squad started out the season on the right foot. With a new advisor. Miss Janice Janes, an advisory committee of four (Julie Craft. Jackie LeSage. Sarah Brooks. Michelle Hamill) helped organize a fundraiser early in the year to buy new gloves and uniforms. The squad practiced twice a week to polish off routines which were choreographed by the girls them- selves. After many hours of practice, the routines were performed at the games. 101 Above: The girls are working to get it together. Right: Hey! Check out Kelly’s nice black socks. (Sue Kessel.

Ron Masterman. Andy Salembier, Coach Keagan. Although preseason expectations in- cluded an over .500 season, the newest kid on the DHS sports scene posted a solid season. In its third year, the soccer program managed to move forward by improving on its previous season record with an 8-8-1 mark and by outscoring their opponents by a margin of 41 to 39 goals. Playing some of the area's finest teams, the Dukes could not afford to play mediocre and still come away with a 'W' in the record column. Inability to provide a solid defense and a potent offense at the same time led to many of the defeats. When they put it all togeth- er though, the Dukes, led by seniors Bill Califf, Pat Fordham, John Jacobs, and Mike Washburn, were able to stick it to the other team. Califf, a newcomer from Colorado, provided the longshot the Dukes previously lacked. The other three — Fordham, Jacobs, and Wash- burn — ended their third year of varsity play with good individual seasons. In ad- dition to recording three shutouts, Fordham's performance at the goalie position kept Dixon close in nearly ev- ery game. Jacobs and Washburn pro- vided the Dukes with a solid middle by playing every center position, depend- ing on the game situation. Steve Keagan resigned his position as head coach of the Dukes after the sea- son. Keagan was not only responsible for the “founding of soccer as a DHS sport, but also of the youth soccer pro- gram in Dixon, which will provide the talent for future high school teams. With a large number of underclassmen on the team and a community full of kicking youngsters, the near and dis- tant future of DHS soccer looks promis- ing.

At 2 singles was Jodi Yount who ended with a 7-1 mark. The Younts combined their talents for an 8-0 record at 1 doubles. Tricia Lee finished her season at 3 singles with a 6-2 record while Katie Corken finished 5-3 at 4 singles. As partners, Lee and Corken finished 5-3 at 2 doubles.

The team’s highlights were a double win over Ottawa and Princeton, and a perfect score vs. Or- egon at Stronghold. The Varsity harri- ers were paced by Robert Dowell, a sophomore who had a phenomenal year. Besides winning the Galesburg, Rock Falls, and Dixon Invitationals at the sophomore level, Rob was crowned Varsity Conference Champion. He was the first runner from Dixon since 1950 to capture first place. Rob then ad- vanced to the state meet where he fin- ished 106th out of a field of over 300 runners. Other strong runners for the Dukes included Soph. Chris Apple, Jr. Dennis Lee, along with Seniors Mike Leslie and Eric Hanson. Runners contributing to the Sopho- more Team were Chris Apple, who fin- ished 3rd in Conference, J. Long, K. Fredricks, S. Farster, J. Greenwalt, J. Morley, and E. Zimmerman. With sever- al varsity letter winners returning, the future looks bright for this young team. SCOREBOARD Rochelle Mendota E.

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY The 1985 girls harriers opened the season with a spectacular start. In their first run, the Duchesses placed second in the Oregon Invitational. During the rest of the year they placed second in the Rock Falls Invitational, fourth in the Dixon Invitational and first in the Byron Invitational. This was the first year the girls won an Invitational. Their season was also highlighted with a record of 7- 3 in dual meets. The team was led by Kandie Wilhelm. She received first place in many dual meets and in the Byron Invitational. She also placed second at Oregon and Galesburg, and third at Rock Falls and Freeport. Following Kandie was Team Cap- tain Kara Longtin, “Most Improved Tammy Stienstra, and Most Coura- geous Tammy Giltner. Wilhelm, Long- tin, Stienstra, Giltner, and Teresa Giltner all received Varsity letters. Although the team will be losing two seniors, they hope that with the addi- tion of new freshmen they will be able to run to a winning season next year. Menpota Sterling DeKalb Geneseo E.

The varsity’s season was highlighted by their first place finish at the Ottawa Invitational, a second at our own Invitational and a sixth out of a 26 team field at the Sterling Invitational. In addition, the Dukes notched third place in the NCIC and fol- lowed with a fourth at the regional meet. Although the Dukes failed to advance to sectionals, senior captain Duke Franklin qualified individually. Duke went on to the State Tournament in Peoria where he shot rounds of 36 and 39 to place him third in state, just one stroke behind the leader. Duke also set a school record with an average of 36.9 strokes per nine holes. Other members of this year's team were seniors Scott Hargrave and Chris Beede; juniors Brad Jepson, Aaron Mo- barak; and freshman Robbie LeSage. The JV team also had a winning season, finishing 12 and 2. Members of the team included senior Mark Simon; juniors Wes Sherman, Warren Sherman, Tom Lawless; and freshman Drew Schilling and Ryan Ea- ton. Both teams were coached by Mr. Lessner who is looking forward to next season. Boys Golf: Kneeling: Ryan Eaton. Drew Schilling, Warren Sherman. Wes Sherman. Mark Simon. Rob SeSage.

The Duchesses’ season was highlighted with a 5th place finish in the Guilford Invitational and a 3rd at the Dixon Invitational. Leaders for the Duchesses throughout the year were senior Angie Blaine and Soph. Sue Larkin. Blaine placed 4th at the Dixon Invita- tional and captured medalist honors in both of the Duchesses' triangular meets. She also recorded a 97 in sectional play leaving her just 2 strokes short of qualifying for state. Larkin was another bright spot for the team finishing 5th in the Galesburg Invitational. Susie's greatest thrill, however, came at the Dixon Invitational as she shot a 91 winning her medalist honors. In the sectional meet, Sue missed advancing to state by just 1 stroke. Other members of this year's team were Midge Magdich, Stacie Wolford, and Amy No- ble. With the combination of a good turnout of underclassmen and the returning letter win- ners, the girls should have another strong season next year! Girls Golf: Amy Noble. Stacie Wolford.

Under the direction of first-year coach Glen McPherson, the Dukes posted the kind of season fans were longing for. Following a slow start at the Princeton Thanksgiving Tr., Dix- on hit the meat of their schedule in stride. They finished the conference season one game short of the title with a 9-2 mark; their only defeats coming at the hands of conference champ Kewanee and Ottawa — both in overtime. Highlights of the regular season included shellacking archrival Sterling twice; an impressive, emotional victory over the 15th-ranked Elgin St. Edwards; and the final home game in which a last- second shot gave the Dukes a two point victory over Gene- seo. At Christmas time, the varsity made its debut in the Pekin Classic while the JV team spent their Christmas vaca- tion playing in the Amboy Holiday Tournament. As the Dukes headed into post-season play, they were without Matt Melvin who broke his hand at the end of the season and was later named to the All-State Honorable Men- tion Team. However, the rest of the team including Jerry Newman, Scott Edgcomb, Brian Fetterolf. Brian Martin, Shawn Ortgieson, and Mike Reed rose to the occasion and captured the regional championship. The title game against Rock Falls was “nip and tuck for three quarters as Dixon fans filled the air and the Dukes filled the hoop. Holding the regional plaque high above their heads, Dixon traveled to Rock Island to face the 1 lth-ranked Rocks. Their speed and quickness proved too much for the Dukes as a successful season closed with a record of 17-9. Above Right: Brian Martin runs the Duke offense.

The varsity girls, who started on a sub-,500 pace, finished strongly by winning their last seven games. New coach Leslie Spencer was assisted by Jan Thompson. The Duchesses' sweetest victory was an upset win over Rock Falls. After losing the first game of the year in Rock Falls, the Duchesses gained their revenge when junior star Lisa Adams made the first of two free throw attempts with no time remaining giving them a 47-46 victory. This years Duchesses were led by Adams and seniors Sonja Nicklaus, Katie Devine, Heidi Turner, and Angie Blaine. With two sophomores, Kris Canterbury and Liz Ander- son, getting valuable varsity experience, the Duchesses should have another strong team next year. In post-season play, the Duchesses lost to a very physical Rock Falls team in the first game of regionals to end their season with a 15-10 record.

The varsity team consisted of senior co-captains Barb Adams and Chris Fordham and juniors Christy Mertz, Cindy Bonnell, and Lynn Toms. The girls placed 4th out of 12 teams in the Kewanee, Thornridge, and Illinois Valley Central Invitationals and 5th out of 11 at the Rock Island Invitational. In their sectional action at Sterling the team placed third. On the road the Duchesses posted three big wins.

BETH MILLER: SWIMMER Freshman Beth Miller was our only Dixon High School swimmer this year. Since we have no team, swimmers compete only at the State Sectional Meet and hope to qualify for the State Finals. They must prepare for these by swim- ming alone or with a non-high school team such as the Y 's team. There are no minimum times for the Sectional Meet, but there are minimum times or qualifi- cations for the State Finals. The swimmers must be sponsored by a faculty member and qualify academically the same as any other athlete. Mrs. French took Beth to the Girls’ Sectional at Harlem High School in Manchesney Park on Saturday, November 16. She competed in the 100 yard Freestyle with a time of 1 minute 17.36 seconds and she swam the 100 yard Breaststroke in 1 minute and 47.56 seconds. These did not qualify her for State Finals but gave her the opportunity to swim against some very fine competition and to begin to prepare for next year. 115 WRESTLING DUKES The Wrestling Dukes, led by Co-Captains Dan Butler and Kevin Butler, finished the season with a record of 13-9. The Dukes first-year coach Dan Fiorini helped put together a winning season and a 5th place in the NCIC. A respectable 5th place in the NCIC was achieved through the efforts of Cory Trotter (4th at 112), Kevin Butler (1st at 138), Tom Burke (1st at 155), and Art Sturms (1st at HWT). At Regionals Kevin Butler and Art Sturms earned 3rd place fin- ishes and a sectional berth. Tom Burke received a 4th place. Kevin Butler went on to capture a 4th place finish at Sectionals. The Sophomore and Freshman Grapplers also had winning seasons. The Sophomores were able to capture a 2nd place at NCIC, and the Freshmen were able to place 2nd at the Dixon Freshman Invitational. With the return of several varsity letter winners next year, the Wrestling Dukes can hope for a spectacular season. Above: Kevin Butler demon- strates the headlock with Dan Long.

Ready to cheer in their newly acquired uniforms with short sleeves and added pleats, the girls traveled out of town as well. They were responsible for recognizing the players by decorat- ing their locker doors. They also helped in honoring all senior participants in sports and their parents at the end of the sea- sons. Two freshmen cheerleading squads were added to cheer the freshman boys' basketball teams to victory. Try out routines for the freshmen consisted of group cheers and making up their own cheers, gymnastics, and showing school spirit. Eleven girls were chosen and were split into two squads which alternated cheering at A and B boys’ basketball games. These girls had a fund raiser later in the spring of the year.
