THE DRIVE 1985-86 GOLDEN KIWANIS PAPER DRIVE: Ed Cooper. Virgil Wasson, Ed Trom- peter. Don Cornelius. Bob Llwellyn. 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
