Scott Otto and Freddy Fredricks show spirit on Hat and Shades Day. “Year after year, I have enjoyed student's active par- ticipation in the festivities of Homecoming. They decorated halls, giving me a touch of life. I listened as eager girls discussed their dresses and shy guys got up enough courage to finally ask a certain girl out. I could see the Heaven in their eyes. The festivities of 86-87 Homecoming were carried out during the first week of October. Spirit was at a maximum. It was one of the biggest events of the year. The action began during spirit week. Regular students seemed to undergo a transition in clothing fads, dressing up for hat and shades day; mix and match day; purple and white, toga day. Kim McIntyre s committee worked hard to sell flowers. Even the downtown reflected the spirit after the Student Council painted windows in catchy designs. Thursday, preparing for what was to come, a pep rally was held. The football players were introduced to their fans. The girls decided to show the guys what they were made of in a powder puff football game. The junior-freshman team swept the senior-sophomore team away. The big game was a rush of excitement that the rain could not drown. The halftime show was an exuberant display. The choral department performed to the routine And We Danced by the Hooters, reliving musical styles of the cen- tury. The court was crowned in a majestic moment. The football game itself was dramatic. Spectators would not hide their enthusiasm under umbrellas. (It was disap- pointing when the final score came in; LaSalle-Peru won with a 7-6 victory.) The week was capped by the long-awaited dance at Walgreen s Field, in an airport hanger. Loverboy’s I Can See the Heaven in Your Eyes was the theme song. Steve Somers, the D.J. from the popular WZOK radio station, pro- vided the music that set the tune for the evening and ended the week. 9 OUR TIMES 4 1.

This year I was fortunate enough to see a rising star, Sue Larkin, surface on the golf course. I look forward to watching how far the team will go next year. ” The girls' golf team finished their dual meet season with a record of 5-3. Though the team was small, the girls managed to record a successful season. The team consisted of seniors Midje Magdich, Stacie Wolford; junior Sue Larkin; Sophomore Amy Noble and freshman Jodi Peterson. The girl golfers placed second in the Dixon Invitational while Sue Larkin was medalist with a 43. The team finished second in regional action, which was good enough to advance them to sectionals. Sue Larkin captured the medalist title at Regionals. In Sectionals the girls' team finished 8th out of 9 teams. Sue Larkin advanced from sec- tionals to state by firing a round of 89. As a whole they had a great season. Coach Pat Lessner. Amy Noble. Midje Magdich. Stacie Wolford. Sue Larkin. 1. Sue Larking shows her putting form at the Dixon In- vitational. 2.

I looked on as a number of boys braved the elements in the never- ending conquest of a hole in one. Whether it was swing or stroke, they worked hard to obtain perfection. The 1986 Boy's golf team had an im- pressive season this year. They finished with a winning record 9-3. The team was led by senior Brad Jepson, sophomore Rob LeSage, and freshman Curt Hargrave. The rest of the varsity golfers were seniors Tom Lawless, Wes Sherman, and Warren Sherman. The Varsity golfers began their season by capturing first place at the Dixon Invitational. Rob Lesage led the team and was medalist with a 74. In NCIC the boys placed eighth, and later missed advancing to Sectionals by only 2 strokes.

Karey Keith reaches out ... to the shot. “It was gratifying for me to see the tennis team bounce back in bigger numbers this year. I remember the rainy days when the girls were forced to practice inside. They would run my exhausting stairs in an ongoing effort to get into top condi- tion for the match.” The girls’ tennis team made a great comeback this year with 16 members compared to last year's 6. This made it possible to have both a varsity and a junior varsity team. Juli and Jodi Yount returned to lend the team strength at the number 1 and 2 varsity positions. Tricia Lee kept her rank at number 3. The on- ly Senior member, Karey Keith, came back after a year off to be seeded fourth. Katie Corken, Jennifer Green, Sophy Hong, and Becky Stover rounded off the varsity team. Not returning this year was Coach Ryser who was replaced by a very capable Jackie Radandt. The team survived a season of rain and cancellations, along with a lack of experience on both teams. Jodi Yount placed 1st in number 2 singles in the NCIC meet. Both Jodi and Juli had a good season as sophomores on the varsity team. The teams record was 3-4, 7th in conference. They are looking forward to a better season next year, with more meets like the Boylan In- vitational where they took 2nd place. Performance Perfected “Those that kicked the most in my gym were the PomPons. They kicked both for entertainment and for saving lives. They were a great bunch of gals.” The 1986-87 pom pon squad began the football season with a generating start. Under the new guidance of Mrs. Kathy Smith, the girls had a great season. Twenty-two girls were chosen the preceding spring. Twelve juniors and ten seniors were selected. Each girl choreographed her own routine, then taught it to the squad. The season began with a routine to the beat of Stacey Que’s “Two of Hearts. The girls also opened the basketball season dressed as street gangsters rocking to the beat of Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love A Bad Name. The squad performed at wrestling matches, the pep assembly and the Christmas assembly, in which they ex- ecuted a routine from the 50’s. This routine also had some favorite guys from D.H.S. in it. In January the girls performed a Kick-A-Thon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Their routine consisted of one hundred various types of kicks, and the pledges went to save lives.

The boys' basketball team had a tough season, but they were strong enough to make it through. I watched them pick themselves up after their losses only to put forth a greater effort. I can hear the balls dribbling down the courts in their late night practices. They were triumphant in their quest to refine knowledge and skills. Under the direction of 2nd year Coach Glenn McPherson, the Dukes had control of the ball throughout the season. Follow- ing a slow start the Princeton Thanksgiving Tourney, Dixon hit the bulk of their schedule in stride. Highlights of the regular season included defeating arch rival Sterling twice and an emotional first victory of the season over Sycamore. As the Dukes headed into post-season play, being defeated in 5 of the last 6 games played was discouraging for the team. However, the team, which included Chris Dixon, Jay Schaab, Mike Blaine, Shawn Ortigiesen, and Brad Jepson rose to the occasion on March 2 and captured 2nd place at the regional championships. Showing a lot of intensity and enthusiasm during the season, the Dukes proved themselves and closed with a record of 7-19.

Duchesses — Consolation Champs of Dixon’s Christmas Tourney The Dixon Girls’ Basketball team en- joyed the limelight during their 14-13 season, and they deserved it. After school, before school, and on Saturdays they turn- ed their athletic skills, sacrificing their time and energy. Leslie Spencer returned to coach the varsity girls' team for the second year. There were some brilliant moments: when senior Lisa Adams gave the Duchesses a 52-51 victory over Sterling in the Dixon Holiday Tournament; and the Thursday night when Sherri Dixon came through with 10 points, including the game winning shot to beat Rochelle 38-36. Then there was the consolation game of the Dix- on Tournament when Lisa sank 2 free throws with 7 seconds to go to give the Duchesses a 52-51 victory over Sterling. Defense was the key for the 52-36 victory. The Duchesses rattled off a 78-56 victory over Rochelle in the 1st round of the Class AA Regional against Rochelle, but lost to arch rival Sterling by 54-51 in the finals. Lisa and Justine Odenthal were the 2 seniors who returned. Sophomores Juli and Jody Yount moved up to play great varsity ball. The new face on the team was Jill Messamore. In game after game Lisa Adams was high scorer. SCOREBOARD Mt.

When the mats were rolled out, excited spectators watched the Dukes bring in the victories I saw the triumph in their faces when they pinned somebody and the agony when their bodies were twisted in pain. The team was able to produce some for- midable players. Dan Fiorini finished his second year as Wrestling coach with back-to-back successful season. The team finished with a record of 16 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie and a conference record of 6 wins and 0 losses. The team was led by senior captains Butler, Sturms, and Lance. Managers Donna Chesnek and Diane Austin traveled with the team to help with stats. The most exciting dual meet was against rival Sterling. Dixon was behind 28-34 going into the final match, Sturms battled it out and pinned Sterl- ing’s Heavy Weight to win the meet 30- 38. Sterling must have had a magical gym for the Dukes as they took second place at their Invitational. At Sterling Butler (138) and Bollman (155) took home first place trophies, Lendquist (132), Dixon (167), and Stephinitch (185) placed second, while Long (112), Lance (126), and Sturms (HWT) finished third. The Dixon grapplers also placed sixth at their conference meet with Butler (132) and Kirby (119) both plac- ing second. Three wrestlers advanced to Sectionals: Stephinitch (185) lost his first match and Sturms (HWT) was forced to default because of a broken nose in his first match. Neither of them received a wrestle-back. Butler got two wins to qualify for State. His biggest challenge this season was Tim Fader of Rochelle but his season was great, finishing with a record of thirty-five wins and six losses. Above Right: Sturms.

Sophomore Jeff Kirby wrestled Varsity and so did Freshman Sisawat Singmoungthong. A special freshman joined the team this year to set an example for the others. Eric Brunick practiced hard throughout the season and wrestled with a physical handicap. He earned the support and admiration of his teammates and the fans.

They added spirit to the game no matter what kind of performance the team was giving. The cheerleaders gave their all! The short skirts and the cold night will always bring special memories. They really eryoyed themselves and showed it.” The Dixon High School Fall cheerleaders were busy over the summer and the fall. They attended a summer cheerleading camp at Western Illinois University. At this camp the girls received a spirit stick. This was a prestigious award. Their advisor, Louise Cor- ken, supported the girls all year. She was very proud of their hard work.

The pins were knocked down by the velocity of the ball, rumbling through the bowling alley. I could hear the noise, which in this sport signaled music to the bowlers' ears. They worked on their skill-correcting their curves, wrist angles, and overall form. I was happy to see two girls go to state — a sing of their success. They earned it. The bowling season rolled off to a good start under first year coach Jim Johnson. The first match of the year ended with a win over Kewanee during Saturday Invitational competition. The team grew progressively stronger, and the Dixon Duchesses placed seventh at the Kewanee Invitational, fifth at Illinois Valley Central, and second at Abington. A week before sectional competition, the Dixon Invitational took place, which featured many of the top teams in the state. The Duchesses finished eleventh in the twenty-three team event, led by Lynn Toms with a high game of 218 and a 1,007 series. At sectionals in Rock Island, the varsity team consisted of Lynn Toms, Christy Mertz, Julie Thomas, Jenny Russell and Tracy Smith. The girls put forth a fine effort, but couldn’t advance as a team to the state finals in Peoria. The team’s final score was 4,829. Two Duchesses did capture individual honors; Lynn Toms received second place with 1,100 pins and Christy Mertz qualified with 1,059 pins. The first round at the semi-finals placed Toms seventh and Mertz eighteenth. In the final rounds of the IHSA State Tourney, Toms finished tenth and Mertz twenty-eighth. High scores for the year were High Average 160, High Game 242, High Series 599; all were accomplished by Lynn Toms who was selected Most Valuable Player of the year. The Varsity Record was 6-5 in duels. Right: Coach Jim Johnson smiles with pride of the success of his bowling Duchesses. 28 Front: Stephanie Heather. Laura Bearman. Teresa Janoskey, Andrea KoNer.

Those who were healthy played their best and never lost team spirit. I was extremely touched when the team sang after their last home vic- tory over Sterling. I was also sad though when the seniors walked slowly off the field, glancing back to take one last look. The Dixon High School’s 1986 foot- ball season was not full of easy victories. They finished with a record of three wins and six losses including a season opening blow-out against Fulton. Their 8-0 defeat over arch-rival Sterling was another big one. Mark Kaczmarek, Grant Smith, Greg Sprenger were new additions to the coaching staff, joining Rich Lawton, Dan Demmer, Roger Coleman, Bob Hamel, and Dan Fiorini. This season was a stepping stone to producing a strong football program in the future. This year injuries seemed to be a deciding factor in most of the games. They plagued the team, crippling the confidence that the players greatly needed. Shawn Ortgieson, Ben Schaab, Ron Griffin, and Tom Elmendorf were just a few of the players who sat out with injuries. These injuries gave sophomores Rodney Stinson, Shane Miller, and Tracy Forest a chance to play at the varsity level. Though their record may not appear to be good, this year’s team played well. Seniors Tom Duffy and Rick Helfrich were named to the All-Conference team, while Stinson, Griffin, Kevin Butler and Matt Guthrie were Honorable Mention All-Conference. This season new talent emerged that will be back to play again next year. Opposite Page: 1. Refreshed and ready to play again. (Chad Schimdt and Jimmy Lance) 2.

The team was greatly affected by the loss of Rodney Stinson, Shane Miller, and Tracy Forest to the varsity squad. These sophomores, combined with the juniors, should prove to be successful in the 1987 season. The Freshman football team compiled a record of five wins four losses and one tie over the season.

They are the coaches, the people who put all their effort into a finished package. They coached their team through the good and the bad. I could feel the frustration when they couldn't get what they wanted out of their teams. I saw the happiness reflected on their faces after the team reached a goal. I’m looking forward to the next few years as the athletic department is in the growing process. This year marked another set of new coaches. Joining the staff were football coaches Mark Kaczmarek, Greg Sprenger, and Grant Smith, soccer coaches Dave Wallace, and Al Harder- son, volleyball coach Jim Kann, tennis coach Jackie Radant, pompons coach Kathy Smith, and bowling coach Jim Johnson. Last year basketball coaches Glenn McPherson, Dan Demmer, and Leslie Spenser and wrestling coach Dan Fiorini were hired. Within the next few years the teams should all show remarkable progress. The coaches all agree that it is necessary to have a few rebuilding years and this year is a stepping stone to the excellence that is yet to come. VARSITY VOLLEYBALL “I noticed a lot of new faces on the Varsity squad this year, in- cluding Coach Kann. The girls prac- ticed day after day for hours trying to perfect each serve, bump, and spike. Whether diving for a ball or jumping for a block, they always displayed their confidence. ” The Duchesses Volleyball team this year played with only one returning starter, senior Lisa Adams, who an- chored the team. Joining her in the star- ting line-up were seniors Tracey Hum- phrey and Karla Jaques and juniors Kris Canturbury, Trisha Thompson, and Jill Messamore. The team began the year with a win against East Moline. Coach Kann said that passing seemed to be the key. This also proved true in the team’s other wins. Coach Jim Kann was new to the team this year, coming from Northern Illinois University. He said this year was specifically for rebuilding and next year he is expecting great progress. 1.

Swimmer Beth Miller Representing DHS at the Girls’ Sec- tional Swimming Meet was Beth Miller. She swam a time of 1 minute 16.05 sec. in the 100 Yard Freestyle and a time of 33.82 minutes in the 50 Yard Freestyle. Individuals may swim at the state level for their schools if they are sponsored by a faculty member and obtain a seed time by swimming in competition dur- ing the season when there is no swim team at their school. Mrs. French spon- sors the swimmers. 35 CROSS COUNTRY DUKES THIRD IN CONFERENCE “This season I spent a large amount of time watching the dedicated boysf cross country team. Though the weather seemed awful almost every day, they never gave up. Their efforts were rewarded in the NCIC meet. Junior Rob Dowell headed the DHS boys' Cross Country team this year with juniors Chris Apple, Tim Fisher, Shane Farster, Eric Zimmerman and seniors Al Roling and Captain Dennis Lee. The Dukes took 1st at the Rock Falls Inv. Dowell, Apple, Fisher, and Roling finished 1st, 3rd, 8th, and 1 Ith respec- tively. The boys ran to a 3rd place finish at NCIC, placing 3 guys on the all con- ference team. Dowell placed 2nd, Apple took 7th and Fisher finished 10th. Rob had another outstanding year beginning with a 2nd place at the Galesburg Inv. He also received 5th at Forest City Inv. and 4th place at the Dixon Inv. Dowell finished 7th at regionals which gave him the opportuni- ty to run at sectionals where he placed 21st.

Stienstra ran well this season placing 9th at the NCIC meet to be named to the All-Conference Team. She also finished 8th at regionals and advanced to sec- tionals. There she placed 62nd in a field of 148.

With such a small team each member was important. Their speed work-outs on the track were challenging, but Coach Berwanger reassured them that everyone else was doing it too. The DHS girls’ Cross Country team was led by senior Captain Tammy Stienstra. She was followed by a pack of four consisting of Freshman Becky Fisher, Sophomore Amy Lynch and juniors Tammy and Teresa Giltner. Also joining the team late in the season was sophomore Tracey Kruse. The girls earned 3rd place at the Rock Falls Invitational and brought home the 2nd place trophy from the Byron Invita- l tional. At Byron, Stienstra placed 5th Above: 1. Tammy Stienstra runs to win.

The soccer team displayed that unextinguishable strength of spirit this year. With new confidence came the sweet smell of success and victory After losing the first twelve games this season, the Dixon High School soccer team made a huge comeback by winning four of the last five games. The Dukes confidence and domination provided the key in giving the first victory of the season over United of East Moline with a 2-1 score. Sophomore Va Yang scored both of the goals in the winning game. Dave Wallace started his year of coaching the D.H.S. soccer team knowing his squad would be playing a challenging schedule, and that the young, inexperienced Dukes would undergo a learning pro- cess. The Dukes played the best teams possible and because of that, they received plenty of learning op- portunities which were readily accepted. The future looks promising for the 1988 soccer team. Next year they will be bigger and better than ever before. Below: Yer Yang. Fong Yang, and Va Yang run the field. Joe Larkin sends the ball flying with his head while Aw Yang prepares to help.

I felt the energy of Student Council members, who met on Wednesdays. They put their enthusiasm into events like Homecoming. the Cancer Drive, and Bloodmobiles. I looked on as Leo Club raised money for the handicapped. The sounds of the Foreign Language Club singing French Christmas carols still echos through me. Dixint members hurrying to pver' e events of the school is an example of the many ways organizations worked within my in- terior and outside of it. One of the best things that came out of the students during the 1 get things done. Instead of thinking about how something could be, they got involved and did it. Everything came together in the clubs that were set up. Students sold piz- zas in the rain, shared their views at meetings, actors shined on the stage, and the band played on. These groups were the essence of youngsters making a difference. I watched as they learned responsibility and discovered that they could make that differenc ACTIVITIES THE HARRIED YEARBOOK STAFF Above: Advisor: Mrs. Gerry French. Assistant Editor Dawn Boehle.

I could hear the typewriters clicking as the typists kept up with the load. I remember the frowns as kids sat with heads bent, trying to plan a layout on crop- ping the pictures. The mental blocks had to be worked through as students searched for the right word or headline. But in the end they realized that when the work is done correctly, it has a higher value. ’’ This year the Dixonian staff was off and running in millions of directions, trying to make the yearbook the best possible. During the summer the theme was decided “If the walls could talk ...” a yearbook told from the omniscient point of view. Changes to enhance this year’s edition have been underway. The yearbook contracted with a new printing company, Taylor Publishing Company, based in Dallas. The staff underwent some new twists: there were two assistant editors: Dawn Boehle and Steve Flanagan and a new position of copy editor was filled by Chris Harshman. Everybody worked hard to make their deadlines. They worked hard to pack every possible memory into a quality book. Kim McIntyre, the 86-87 editor, had her hands full keeping up with the load as editor. Thanks to Mrs. Geraldine French and Mrs. Marion Anderson, they were able to make this effort productive. The Dixonian was divided into different staff divisions meeting each week to discuss their progress and to keep up with the deadlines. Sometimes hassles mounted but the staff overcame them. We, the staff, hope you will enjoy this book! GETS THE JOB DOME! IT Above: Row 1: Jenny Wermers. Chris Harshman. Sue Larkin, Traci Brimm. Barb Jacobs. Jenny Green.

I witnessed meetings when exhausted writers pored over printed copy, proofreading, finding mistakes with diligent care. Their eyes would blur as they worked, but they would never give into desperation. They were rewarded on Fridays when others soaked up their work.” They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Dixini captured the moods and styles of everyday life. Mo matter what, press was made. The Dixini staff included many new faces. Only five returned. Even the advisors, Miss Mancy Clarkson and Mr. Otto Dick, were new. Editor Lori Craft had a tremendous workload to carry. Problems couldn’t be linked to man-shortages with Christine Harshman, Editorials Editor; Kristie Shaw, Editorial Assistant; Jenny Wermers, Mews Editor; Tracy Bois, Mews Assistant; Barb Chidley, Features Editor; Sophy Hong, Features Assistant; Aaron Mobarak, Sports Editor; Dennis Lee, Karey Keith, Doug Halver- son, Sports Assistants; Amy Lynch, Eric Brunick, Christina Flanagan, Cindy Whitcombe, Reporters; Steve Flanagan, Business Manager; and Jerry Pauser, Dennis Lee, Jennifer Green, photographers. The Dixini staff met three times a month. First to decide story topics, then to turn in stories, write captions and headlines, and finally to do the Paste-CJp. Papers were printed at Tri-County Press of Polo. Where there was a story, there was a Dixini staff member. DIXINI Above: Is this the Dixini page with the comics?” Sophy Hong wonders.

I can recollect those trains of deep thought and the agony of knowing an answer which comes to the cor ners of your mind and not being able to bring the answer into consciousness. But the satisfaction was there when they realized the unlimited depths of their own minds.” ‘The earth is made up of mostly what element?” Questions similar and more difficult than this are often asked during an Academic Bowl contest. Academic Bowl, composed of some of our brightest intellects, is a challenge of mind for those tough enough to handle it. Dixon challenged other schools and work- ed with the Rotary Bowl in competitions, which were usually broadcasted live on WSDR. Try-Outs for the squad were held in room 100, before and after school. Contestants had two opportunities to try out and had the chance to earn points based on the number of ques- tions answered correctly. From about 20 who tried out, only 7 positions were filled. Returning veterans, Lori Craft and Barb Chidley, gave the team experience. Seniors Andy Mansen, Aaron Mobarak, Bill Wohrley, and Mark Wohrley were selected. Juniors who made the grade included Lucas Como and Mike Keeley. The members are quizzed on all areas of knowledge: Literature, the arts, science, history, current events, mathematics, and religion to name a few. Whichever team can answer the question gets a bonus question. The team with the most points is the winner. Mrs. Jane Weaver and Mr. Merlin Willard sponsored the Academic Bowl team. Competitors met at 8:00 am on Tuesday and Friday mornings to get geared up for competitions which were usually held on Friday nights and weekends. WSDR, the Rotary Bowl, NCIC, and a computerized contest were just a few events in which Academic Bowl team took part. Top: The three men ready for action!

A Night in Your Town Was “Our Town” “The play was more than what the audience viewed on opening night. I was able to witness the behind the scenes action, as they rehearsed everything to perfection. The ac- tors and actresses were able to make their characters into people with their own personalities, changing from themselves into their role as easily as they changed costumes. I looked on as Chris Pratt perfected his drunken gaitor, as Angie Whentling looked at life from the grave. Whether it was their movements or their intonation, they only accepted the best out of themselves 9 This school year's choice of the fall play was “Our Town chosen by Mr. DeVoe Manning. Even though the ticket sales were low, the play was a great success. The scenery was left to the viewer s imagination with the help of the cast. “Our Town” took place in Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire during the early 1900's. The story opened with the Stage Manager (Steve Flanagan) describing Grover’s Corners. The story was based on two characters, George Gibbs (Denis Lee) and Emily Webb (Angie Wentling), growing up from childhood to adulthood. Each family was a typical one. George's Father, Dr. Gibbs (Chris Stephenitch) was a highly respected man in the town. His mother Julia Gibbs (Barb Chidley) has an unattained dream of seeing France, while his younger sister Rebecca (Andrea Nagy) has the idea the moon is going to blow the earth into tiny particles. Emily’s family consists of Mr. Webb (Luke Dixon) the local newspaper publisher, his wife Myrtle Webb (Cindy Witcombe) who wishes everything possible for her only daughter. Emily’s brother Wally (Sean Mulligan) is always quarreling with her. Each scene begins with one day of their lives. Mrs. Gibbs and Mrs. Webb both prepare breakfast for their families while Joe Crowell (Mark Rudolphi) delivers their morning papers, and Howie Newsome (Ben Schaab) brings the morning’s milk. When ♦he brightest man of the town Professor Willard (Larry Hill) is sked about the town by people in the audience (Jenny Drexel, Brian McGuire, Kris Bunt) his replies are well thought out. Act three is very thought-provoking. Simon Stimson (Chris Pratt) the drunken choir director along with Mrs. Soames (Amy Densmore) the town gossip, have all died as well as other people of the town. Everyone gathers at the cemetery including Sam Craig (Rob Taylor), a man who moved away to seek his fortune, and Con- stable Warren (Matt Heckman). The people of the town (Joanna Smith, Rachel Russman, Tracy Smith, Beth Miller, Kathy Schrock) all gather around a newly dug grave. Emily Webb (Angie) now known as Emily Gibbs has died in childbirth. After the ceremony Joe Stoddard (Roger Lane) the keeper of the cemetery, sees that everything is in order. The play closed with the audience wondering if they were missing the true meaning of life. 46 Top Left: How do you smoke this thing? (Steve Flanagan.) Top Right: Is this really necessary? (Flanagan.

They used their senses to give of themselves to others.99 The Leo Club roared during the 86-87 school year. Ron- da Monteith, the President, led the club into many favorable activities. She was assisted by a strong ex- ecutive staff; Christy Mertz, Vice-President; Barb Chidley, Secretary, and Ryan Monteith was Treasurer. Kelly Ames was tail twister and Lynn Toms filled the bill as Lion-Tamer. The Leo Club didn't wait until the school year to begin to start their projects. They volunteered to assist the Muscular Dystrophy Association by answering phone calls. They donated a $100 to the Winnebago Center for the Blind, and purchased a telephone with an automatic dialer for a resident. At Halloween, the club helped judge the annual parade at Haymarket Square. Janet Asbury hosted the Halloween party which enlivened their spirits. The year was topped off by a Drug and Alcohol Poster Contest, which included sixth through eighth graders in the Dixon School System. Ronda said they wanted to make a difference and it looks like they met their goal. Above: Row 1: Fred Zbinden, Tiffany Roto, Janet Asbury, Hyun Joo Chung, Barb Chidley. Ronda Monteith.

Never have I watched an organization give so much. Stuco not only worked for the school it also worked for the community. Sleepy kids would faithfully gather before school on Wednesday to tackle the problems. Whether it was working the concession stand, sponsoring a dance, or giving blood, students were giving more to the world.99 Returning, as it always does, the Student Council motivated school spirit and spread a sense of good will throughout the community. This year the council was led by advisor, Mr. Otto Dick; Presi- dent, Jody Heacock; Vice-Presidents, Steve Flanagan and Carl Johnson; Secretary, Lori Craft; Treasurer, Jenny Drexel; and Public Relations Chairman; Toni Bolin. During the summer of '86 the officers planned the Homecoming. The dance was held in an airport hanger, a first, that really went over well. The announcement committee was back again this year. Stuco members were chosen, in pairs, to read the announcements in the morning. Some interesting things were done such as “Friday Morning yells!” and thoughts of the day. Blood drives were held throughout the year, with the help of the Red Cross. The blood drives brought in an average of 60 pints each time around. A Gino’s pizza fundraiser was held on Sat. Sept. 20. They presold the pizzas and sold door to door as well. A little over $1,000 was raised. The council also participated in a walkathon for the Animal Shelter in which approximately $500 was raised. For Thanksgiving a canned food drive was held. Each Stuco member was asked to bring canned food so it could be donated to the needy of Dixon. After this the council took on the challenge of the Christmas Assembly. It was moved back into the gym and featured the famous slide show and something new: an obstacle course which ended with a pie eating contest. Other new things were added to the Christmas Season this year: a locker contest was held (students were asked to decorate their lockers with Christmas themes), cookies were passed out to each student and teacher; there was even a baby picture (teachers’) contest. Something new the council tried this year was an executive board. Because of its large size (around 80 members) a smaller council, the Executive Board was set up to offer opinions and comments to the officers. The freshmen on Stuco got together and elected 6 freshmen to serve on the board; those 6 elected a spokesman, Julie Kennedy. The sophomores, juniors, and seniors did the same, electing as spokesman: Sophomore Julie Yount, Junior Liz Anderson, and Senior Dennis Drew. Stuco kept themselves pretty busy this year. All the hard work definitely deserved a reward; therefore, the council planned a trip to Chicago for themselves.

Those students had the chance to use their voices as an outlet of their emotions and their feelings Under the direction of Mr. James Wiltz, six groups made the choral department a rhythmical force for DHS. There was Robed Choir, Treble Choir, Boys’ Chorus, Girls’ Chorus, Madrigals, and Above: The Robed Choir Officers: Front: Sean Rock. President, Aaron Mobarak. Vice-Pres.; Cindy Whitcombe.

It was a Four Star Show.” They also participated in a variety show at the Dixon Theatre to help raise funds to pay for its renovation and continued use as a live theatre. Then the choirs decided to take the challenge and sell Heath candy bars to purchase a wireless mike system and an electronic keyboard. The fund- raiser went over well, the wireless mike system was purchased. The Christmas season approached and the concert started to fall into place. December 14th was the date. People from all over came to see the spirit of Christmas expressed through song. 52 BOYS’ CHORCIS 1st Row: Sean Tofte, Matt Fruin, Sean Mulligan. Jason Howard.

I eryoyed the jazz show choir — it was energy and enthusiasm radiating from people with real talent. Their spunk on stage motivated their audiences, making the world want to join them. The gifted students in J.W. combined their bodies and voices into one of the most en- joyable forms of entertainment. I was happy to see the group return to DHS and I look forward to their perfor- mances yet to come — each something special.” The jazz show choir returned to the choral department after a two year absence. The ensemble was chosen in the Spring of '86, students were chosen from the Robed Choir. The group was directed by student leader Sean Rock and Director Jim Wiltz, choreography was provided by Sharon Wiltz. Jazz show choir was ex- tremely busy throughout the school year. For Halloween a performance at the Heritage Square Nursing Home, and a per- formance in the Dixon Theatre Variety Show let the community know the ensem- ble was alive once more. Another big per- formance was the Christmas Assembly during first semester. The combo, who helped the choir perform its many show stoppers, included Sean Rock, drums; Kathy Johnson, bass guitar; and Cindy Whitecombe, keyboard. Jazz Show: 1st Row: Barb Chidley, Brad Lawton.

I heard a melody worked on with care, by voices that were as fine-tuned as instruments. Their costumes enhanced the art of their music during performances.” This year, the Madrigals, returned once again. The ensemble returned to a busy year, under the direction of James Wiltz, as they performed at many functions. Early in the year the Madrigals performed at the Dixon Theatre Variety Show. They sang at the Christmas Concert and performed throughout the community during the Christmas season. A bake sale was held at the Loveland Community Building to raise funds. The group is composed of students chosen from Robed Choir. This year the Madrigals again lived up to their reputation as they sang music and wore costumes similar to those of Madrigal singers of the 15th and 16th century. Madrigals: 1st Row: Kathy Johnson.

Many students wanted to take courses not offered at D.H.S. Some went to Whiteside Area Vocational Center (WAVC) in Sterling. It was open to juniors and seniors, who caught a bus at 7:30. Classes offered were auto body repair, auto mechanics, child care, data processing computer program, building trades, cosmetology, machine drafting and design, industrial electricity, vocational electronics, food ser- vices, marketing and sales, graphic arts, machine trades, office skills and procedures, or welding and fabrication. I.C.O. stands for the Interrelated Cooperative Occupation program. It provided the opportunity to receive training in an occupation while finishing a high school education. One hour every day was spent in the related classes and the on-the-job training gave the students op- portunities to learn certain skills. The Work Program taught students about the working world and also gave them experience in it. They went to classes and learned basic business ideas. Later they were released early from school to go to their jobs. The students were graded by their employers based on performance, attitude, and work habits. Also, teachers graded them on class work. Students who were part of the work program got a head start in learning about the working world. But they also received experience by performing those jobs.

These kids knew there is life beyond my walls and were ready to attack it to find out more. They weren’t afraid of dif- ferent ideas, they soaked them in. Life was their adventure.’’ The Foreign Language Club consisted of a group of high schoolers in language classes. Their activities, included a field trip to Interna- tional Old World Fair Festival at Milwaukee, Wisconsin to experience new foods, dances, souvenirs, and cultures from countries around the world. The club also had a Christmas meeting where they were taught Christmas carols in different languages. The advisors, Mr. Higby, Mrs. Densmore, and Ms. Hall also set up a meeting with our District’s foreign visitors. The students were able to ask them first hand what life was truly like in their coun- tries. Trivial questions, weekend recreations, customs and serious problems such as war and the Berlin Wall were brought up and discussed. The club was a huge success and gave students extensive insight into foreign cultures. Above Left: Henrij and Hildregard, visitors to our coun- try.

The spirit to try new things was a wonderful experience for today’s students. The Ham Radio Club was another example of the initiative displayed by them.” Thanks to Mr. Jim Higby, the Ham Radio Club has been reac- tivated. The club met each Thursday morning to learn the special Morse Code that is needed to have a ham radio license. The members had their own call station WB9KAN. Mr. Higby remarked, “The members in our club hope to learn about radio electronic theory, and operation. We hope that the students will be able to get their own amateur radio licenses sometime during the year.” Above: Officer for 1986-87: Ed Webb — Ac- tivities Manager. Tara Stage — Secretary-Treasurer.

I looked on as Mr. Thomas Whitcombe carried his job through, making the sounds of several different instruments turn into music. The baritones, the clarinets, and the drums contributed. I took satisfaction in seeing a renewed interest in band. It was nice to have music on the sidelines and on the field at football games and from the 4band’ balcony at basketball games — giving us a lift.” After 2 years, the new Marching Band made its debut at the 1st football game at home on Sept. 5th. Mr. Whitcombe said The band is back, and they’re doing a great job! They practiced night and day to perfect their performances with 46 members. Ruth Maplethorpe, the new Junior High Band Director, helped the Marching Dukes by putting together and coaching a flag and rifle corps, led by student director, Jacci Beard. Their 7 members added sparkle to the band. The band was led by the capable Ma- jorette, Ronda Monteith, who obviously enjoyed her work. The whole group looked very impressive on the field in their snappy uniforms. After Football season, the Marching Band became the Concert Band and many members tried out for Illinois Music Educators Association Band. Aaron Shippert, Mike Keely, Jody Dyche, Pete Burrs, Kim Diehl, and Keith Bollman were selected to play in the con- cert at DeKalb on Nov. 15. On Nov. 20 more members of the band were able to play at the NCIC Festival at Rochelle. The Pep Band opened many of the basketball games with their peppy renditions. They led the crowd in the National Anthem. For Christmas, the Band put on a very fine concert Dec. 9. Outstanding was the clarinet solo, Concertino, played by Cindy Whitcombe, accompanied by Mrs. Whitcombe. Jody Dyche played O Holy Night on the piano and Panis Angelicus” on her trumpet. The Diehl sisters, Kim and Amy, teamed up on Corrente with their flute and clarinet; and Beth Miller, accompanied by her father, really made The Holy City beautiful with her clear high notes. An unusual treat was a harp solo by Melissa Bloemker. MARCHING CONCERT BAND Below: Representing the Band Officers and displaying the Marching Uniform Beth Miller. Kristian Lasch.

Usually, I watched as the freshmen were picked on by all the up- perclassmen, but this year 1 didn’t see that much of that. Not as many books thudded onto my floors. It was as if one class had grown up mature enough to get along with all of the other classes. They overwhelmed me with their sense of being a school, not just a grade. The freshman came in a little awed by my size. The sophomores were just relieved to live past being freshmen. The juniors thought it was great just to be upperclassmen. The seniors were smug in their awareness of being at the top. But together they roamed through my halls. They sat enclosed within my walls during many classes. They dug into the lockers fastened to me. Those lockers gave me an impression of each different personality. I got to know each one of them. 1 got close to these humans as they were growing into adults of tomorrow. I got a chance to eavesdrop on bits of their conversations. 61 Congratulations Seniors Class of 1987 “Seeing the Seniors leave always saddens me. Next year they wonft be here again, nor will their individual per- sonalities give life to my halls. I always miss them; they were unique. They felt the pangs of leaving in their last year wandering if they did it all right. I watched as they changed during their four years here, i'll always wonder how they'll turn out. The seniors had a busy year — preparing for what was to come. They enjoyed the advantages of being at the top. They were finally there, only soon they would begin their college days, homecom- ing, senior parents nights, applying for colleges, Prom, and graduation. They lived their last year up. Becky Carlson, President, Trisha Varga, Vice-President, and Ben Schaab as Secretary-Treasurer worked to put things in order. They finished their duties and tied up all the loose ends.

As with the changing seasons of the year, Through each of these, in part. we learn to grow. Remembering the things we hold so dear — Experiences of love and pain and sorrow. The passing of my youth is drawing nigh. I’m filled with myraids of emotion. Pondering such thoughts brings forth a sign. But still are joyous thoughts brought from this notion. Afraid to leave the safe life that I live, Yet wanting still to face the world alone. While knowing that I have so much to give. But fearing failure while I'm out on my own. And re'lizing that I know not everything. I'm set to face the world and try my wings.

The children, laughing, wrestle as they Play. Yet know fun soon will end because of night. How can I warn them life will go too fast? That all too soon their play must turn to care. Remembering the winters of my past. The youthfulness they have will be so rare. But while they're young let them enjoy their time. Not knowing all the pain that goes with truth. That much too quickly they will start the climb. As life soon fades some happiness of youth. Now's not the time to share all we may know. We ll let them have their fun out in the snow.

The almost empty trees are silence-filled Save warnings to the crea- tures down below Sung by the birds as looming storm clouds build. Upon the land soon pounding rain beats down. While jagged streaks of white light up the sky And roaring thunder is the only sound As though the force of nature's gone awry. It’s quelled as suddenly as it began. And golden rays of sun pierce through the gray. Reflecting like rare diamonds off the land To warm the last hours of the dying day. With heartfelt joy I raise my eyes to see True beauty in a rainbow's purity.

They sing their songs in glad and joyful ways; They whistle happy tunes for me and him We dance and jump and skip; two. hand-in-hand. A glance around shows we are not alone. Another two we watch; silent we stand. In them we see us after we have grown. Blue skies, white clouds, light breeze in the crisp air Caress our youthful hearts. enhance our love. Deep in our eyes; a twinkle that we share. We recognize a sign from God above. For all our lives our love will never end. 'Cause I am his and he is my best friend.

Seen Through the Eyes of a Young Adult The elder generations can't recall The time their teenage viewpoints became old. The age of carefree life is after all Our time to build our knowledge, being bold. A youthful deed is often misconceived As If the acts we do rebel, oppose Their ancient grown ideals. They are relieved At misconstruing our beliefs. To suppose That we as young adults, will someday change Our morals stay unseen. Until we reach That future moment, listen. Don't exchange Those disapproving glances. Let us breach The generation gap. We need the time Of their accord and cognizance sublime.

TIME Time is like an angry man rushing me. Mo matter what I do it always stays. Sometimes I feel like hiding by a tree. But it is still always there nights and days. I wish I could tie the hands of a clock. And all people stay their desired age. The world would stand motionless like a rock. And time would be stopped like trapped in a cage. Though time should be stopped so life would not end. It cannot be done for life must go on. One should not stay looking around the bend, People should enjoy life now ’til it’s gone. Life is too precious to waste any time. We should be content when the sun does shine.

The friends I've had my whole life through I hoped Could last forever. Time I spend with all Is treasured in my mind, to help me cope When we're apart the past forth I do call. My friends and I have laughed and cried before. We laugh at jokes that others tell, don't duck When one cries out in need. Could I want more Than whom I have? I could, but why? I've luck. I love the friends whom I have now. But know They won't remain, for off to college we shall wend Apart too we shall grow. They are, although. The best I know distance us will rend. The friends whom I have had have touched my heart. We ll never be forgotten nor apart.

I saw the class work hard for their castles in the airf only to achieve them. Filling the shoes of upperclassmen, the juniors were on their way no where but up. The juniors stood out as one of the most competitive, talented, and promising groups of students. They weren’t going to let life pass them by. They were going to leave their mark on the world. Class officers set the class in the direction of the future. President Sue Larkin looked ahead to the needs of the class. With the assistance of Vice-President Sophy Hong, Sue planned ac- tivities for the class. Secretary Treasurer Chris Harshman had the books running as fundraisers like the candy bar sales, continued.

President Mark Rudolphi. 4 7 listened to the rumbles of a new class of kids moving to the second floor. They took over the lockers that had belonged to thousands of Sophomores before them, yet they still radiated unique personalities 9 This year the class of '89 made sure that they did their part in improving the atmosphere and the systems of DHS. They were very much a part of the Student Council, volunteering and helping it with all of its activities, and also many of the other clubs and organizations to which they gave a lot of their time. This class was run by President Mark Rudolphi, Vice-President Tracy Forest, and Secretary-Treasurer Toni Bolin. The Sophomores began the year with an en- thusiasm that is hard to beat, and they ended the year with that same enthusiasm. They were all there ready to open doors to any opportunities which came knocking. All in all they had a wonderful year. Adcock. Steve Amenda. Ginger Anderson. Carla Bailey. Michael Barnhart.

During their youth, the teens are influenced by many different people: parents, their peers, movie stars, professional athletes, and political figures. But in my experiences,1 have noticed that teachers provide the students with the strongest guidelines for life. Teachers don't just work for a salary, they give pieces of themselves to others who have never done anything for them. It is more than turning in homework on time, not being tardy for class, or rules about chewing gum. Kids might think they are overbur- dened in class by rules and homework, but it is not a form of punish- ment. I realize the opportunities the staff provides. They give two of the biggest gifts to students: the chance to make a mistake and learn from it and the knowledge that students can believe in themselves.” Kirby Rodgers Dean Boyd Melvin Athletic Dir.

The new library provides ac- cessibiity to the handicapped and increase the seating capacity to satisfy the Illinois Standard for Education Media Programs (which is seating for 10% of the student body). The new facility provides a multi-dimensional atmosphere with space diversity; independent study, group study, and a classroom area. The audio visual depart- ment has been incorporated within the library, since the trend toward learning includes not only the printed word, but also the visual image. This facility was very handy when it was necessary to move a class from the regular room due to construction. It not only provided a good alternate spot but gave the students a chance to get acquainted with the new library.

Just as my walls have been for- tified this generation will someday fortify the world with their wisdom, npw ideas, and fresh ideals. 1 have watched thenL change as they prepared to spread their wings and fly. A shy boy who learned con- fidence, a girl obsessed with makeup and clothes who learned to I bookkeeper —ju$t to recall a few of the many who came into their this year. So the world carried on around them, these people grew up. They played through homecoming, delved into Christmas, worried through exams, faced their own anxiety, cheered at b-ball games, laughed with friends, doubted themselves, caught spring fever, lunched at McDonalds and survived exams. They experienced times when they felt such exhilaration that nothing could bring them down. In four years the students here won't remember the fabulous 1986-1 87 school year, but I will. Their thoughts and motions will echo through my halls, i)u]ierberatfa£in my miuMry jftieliulv be i ciat alduJftdue. H Nobody can ever feel those days again.
