HAND 14 11 AT NAG 26 HOLLYWOOD QUAKES 40 WHAT’S NY LIAE 81 a or A TRIVIAL PURSUIT 88 Welcome to a new school year at Dix- on High School. While some people may think putting together a yearbook is pretty easy work the Dixonian staff can say that that isn't true. A lot of hard work and time goes into making a yearbook that our school can be proud of. Many decisions must be made, and one of the hardest is pick- ing a theme. “Games People Play is this year- book's theme. Choosing the theme started before school even got out last year and after a lot of deliberation and even arguing at meetings over the sum- mer, the theme was chosen. Dawn Boehle, Kristie Shaw, and Brian Cook spent four days at the University of Il- linois this past summer at a yearbook workshop to elaborate on the theme to give you, the reader, the best possible yearbook. Drawing layouts, cropping pictures to the right size, and writing copy and cap- tions are the preliminary works of Dix- onian staff that eventually becomes the pages you see in your yearbook. Some- thing different the staff did this year was to have mini-themes for each section which reflected the entire theme of the book. Each person on the staff, whether he be a photographer, an editor, a typist, a writer, a lay-out artist, an artist, or a salesperson, puts many hours into your yearbook. If you see someone who is on the yearbook staff maybe you could say thank-you. And a special thanks should go to Mrs. French and to Mrs. Anderson, our advisors, for giving us their time and for putting up with us. It takes team work to put together something like this and as a team we tried to give you something you can treasure for years to come, so as you go through life, you can be aware of games people play. So let the games begin! The D.H.S. Marching Band proves that hard work pays off during half time of our first home game. The Dukes huddle to get some last minute instructions on a play. Below: Matt Ristow struts his stuff through the halls of D.H.S. in his Levi's 501 Blues. An unknown workman helps install the new scoreboard at A.C. Bowers Field. Mami Chiyokubo, the lapanese exchange student, leafs through her program waiting for her first taste of an American football game. An enthused Dixon fan hopes her sign gives the Dukes the extra incentive to win. Dixon soccer player, Andy Salembier, checks his taped leg be- fore the beginning of the game. Cari Chidley and Becky Detrick enjoy their donuts and milk at a Student Council breakfast. One, two, three all flags to the right. Girls! to the right! The Marching Dukes give another fine performance. Don't wor- ry Tiffany, it's only a few feet down. (Tiffany Hackbarth helps take down decorations after Homecoming.)

The Student Council painted store windows throughout town and flowers for a friend were sold during lunch. Friday afternoon a pep assembly was held, and students par- ticipated in an obstacle course. The cheerleaders waged a tug-of-war against the pom-pon squad. Mr. Kaczmarek gave a pep talk to the football team as well as to the student body to get them all involved in a Homecoming victory. Music at the pep assembly was provided by the Dixon High School Marching Band and by the rock group “Exposure. Even though the Dukes were defeated in their Home- coming game by the Streator Bulldogs, that didn't dampen the excitement of Homecoming. During half-time the Band and the choral department put on a show celebrating the 200th anniversary of the United States Constitution. The Court was also crowned. Saturday evening the annual Homecoming Dance was held at Walgreen Field and brought a fantastical end to Homecoming week 1987.

We show our patriot- ism. Let the Games Begin. The students of Dixon High were com- pelled to heed this advice. After classes, the real games began. Students cleared out, re- doubled their energy, and began to take an active part in the life of Dixon High School. Stu Co met on Wednesday to organize a dance. The Leo club aided the community. The Flyers tried to win the game against drugs! The Academic Bowl beeped in making Jeopardy seem slow. The Dixini staff added extra points with the news- paper. Dixonian played Beat the Clock to capture all the best moments. Name that Tune was the name of the game for band and chorus. The games will never end, but this year we made them special.

Having co-editors for the Dixonian was a new concept and Dawn Boehle and Kristie Shaw showed that pace set- ting is not new to them. Under the di- rection of Mrs. French and Mrs. Ander- son, every aspect of the yearbook was scrutinized, from photos to copy, lay- outs, picas, and artwork. The yearbook staff barely managed to “Beat the Clock for the deadlines. For the first time copy was sent in on a computer disk, using Taylor's TypeVi- sion software program. The word pro- cessing program gave staff members the opportunity to write and edit copy much more effectively and reduce errors in the book. Members learned firsthand the impor- tance of accuracy, responsibility, cre- ativity, dedication and willingness to re- ceive instructions. Head to Head Perfection was the pursuit and Against All Odds they were victori- ous.

Changes Student Council underwent many new changes this year: a new constitution and a new membership policy. Instead of having an open membership policy, seven representatives were elected from each class. Student Council had a smaller council to carry the load of many Student Council activities. Elizabeth Anderson was the President of Student Council. Vice Presidents, Cari Chidley and Mark Rudolphi, helped with the responsibilities. Amy Tofte was Secretary, and Christine Harshman served as Treasurer. Mr. Dick was the faithful and experienced sponsor. Dixini activities began the day school let out as the Student Council assembled a float for the 4th of July Parade. The Big Brother Big Sister program worked to make the adjustment to high school easier. Plans were set off for the Homecoming activities sponsored by Stu. Co.: flowers for a friend, the half- time show, the reception for the court, the pep-assembly, and the Homecoming Dance at Walgreens Field. Julie Kennedy collects canned food for the Christmas Dance. Student council sponsored many of the Christmas festiv- ities: cookies, candy canes, a Christmas Dance, and the Christ- mas Assembly. The council worked to promote many projects for the school: helping new organizations, starting and running concession stands. Community projects included blood mobiles, the cancer drive, donations to the United Way and other charities.

ACADEMIC BOWL Pat Kirk, Eric Brunick, Mike Keeley, Christine Harshman, Matt Sandshafer, and Lucas Como. This year's Academic Bowl team competed against many teams including those on WSDR and at the NCIC tournament in Dixon. The team consisted of Seniors Lucas Como, Chris Harshman and Mike Keeley, and Juniors Jeff Heckman and Pat Kirk. This year underclass- men could try out for Academic Bowl. Eric Brunick and Matt Sandshafer, both Sophomores, made the team and proved to be valuable additions. The team practiced Mondays and Tues- days before school using buzz- ers and computers. The spon- sors, Mr. Willard and Mrs. Weaver have been coaching Academic Bowl together for two years. All in all the team was very successful. The Leo Club has helped many people around the com- munity this year. They helped judge the costumes at the Hal- loween Parade at Haymarket Square. The members were full of enthusiasm, and always eager to help. At the meetings, held once a month, new activities were planned. Drug and alcohol awareness poster contests and helping the Muscular Dystrophy drive were just some of their activities. The Leo Club has been a great asset to DHS.

In November the group went to the Holiday Folk Fes- tival in Milwaukee. In January they sold computer dating questionnaires for their fun- draiser. This event went over well since many people seemed excited about know- ing who they were compat- ible with. The club is made up of stu- dents of any age who are cur- rently in a foreign language class. They meet about once a month to discuss new plans and projects.

We the People Mrs. Willard coordinated the activities of the student committee for the History decorated our display cases. Bicentennial. The month of September holds special memories to the staff mem- bers and students of Dixon High School. Mrs. Judy Willard of the Eng- lish department along with members of the D.H.S. Bicentennial Commit- tee organized several unforgettable activities. The Committee kept quite busy prior to the September festivities. Last spring a county-wide essay contest was held at D.H.S. senior Mike Keeley placed third. In July under the guidance of Kim Nelson and Ryan Reed, the committee entered a float in the Petunia Festival Parade. September was the grand finale of the great celebration due in part to Chris Harshman, Mike Keeley, Pat Donlan, Jennifer Green, Erin Devine, Eric Zim- merman and Chris Bunt. Window dis- plays were seen in the hallways of the new wing where they remained all month. A student survey consisting of ten questions relating to the Constitu- tion was conducted and later appeared in the first issue of the Dixini. One min- ute messages were made during the morning announcements for an entire week concerning the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. Detective Harry Ulferts spoke at a vol- untary assembly held in the auditorium. His topic was the importance of the Bill of Rights has in the lives of all Amer- icans. And finally copies of the Con- stitution and flag lapel pins were dis- tributed, courtesy of Illinois Bell and Lutheran Brotherhood. Lancaster Gym came alive with the sounds of the U.S. Marine Band as part of our celebration. Mike Keeley is honored for his Essay with a ride in the Petunia Festival Parade. Hopkins, Reed, Wegner Elected Greg Wegner, Merrie Lou Hopkins, and Larry Reed were recently elected to serve as members of the Dixon Board of Education. The new members have expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the guidance and votes they've received. They plan to run the board as effectively as possible. Keeping the deficit down and serving the community properly were major concerns. The outcome looks very promising. Merrie Lou Hopkins, David Gusse, Larry Reed, and Greg Wegner talk at a “Meet the Candidates Night put on by the area PTO. Citizenship Class Writes to Telegraph I believe the utility tax for Dixon is a good idea. It should be a good source of revenue and make Dixon a stronger magnet for business, two things our city needs badly. No matter how those against the tax rant and rave, it is a good idea. Maybe the present officials should let them run the city's business so they can find who is already right. — Bill Hacnitch I disagree highly with the city's proposal be- cause they should get younger people involved. Like get more kids even if under 16 jobs, more buildings for kids because we're the ones who are going to be the future Dixon. They should get the kids more involved. — Jenny Floto I agree to the city's proposal and we do need to modernize this city. It's worth the trouble to help this city and not sit and watch our city go down the drain. I'm sick of driving to other towns to shop. I know others feel the same. We need jobs around here! — Tracy Tovar I guess you could say I'm kind of split on my decision. I'm sort of for the proposal and half against it. I'm for it because it will help us grow. But there's always the people who are really gonna be hurt from this, such as elderly, fixed and low income families. — Cari Cutler I think that all people who voice out against the Downtown Development project haven't taken the time to stop and look how much this could help Dixon. The plan could bring in new stores and new companies for jobs. The taxes Dixon would receive from the new business could make up most of the money and then some. Even though I am not old enough to pay taxes yet, I would be glad to pay to help this town. If this project goes through I think many Dixonites would be happy with the results. — Clayton Whelan I feel that the utility tax is a minor loss, because I would rather see progress than to see none at all. It makes me feel good inside to know people aren't giving up on Dixon and I would like to see more jobs since pretty soon I will be needing one. If this utility tax was not to be put through this city would in fact die out. People would move, businesses would move, and I truly do not want to see the city go down the tubes. I have lived here 16 years and I am not about to give up without a fight. — David Katner I'm against the city's proposal for these reasons. What is a new building going to do? Yes, it will attract some people. But it's not going to change or solve all of the problems. Plus, paying all this money is foolish. Because what if the buildings aren't as successful as you think they're going to be. Not everyone in this town is rich. Yes, I think that Dixon does need improvements. But spend- ing more money isn't going to solve everything. If I had to decide what to do. I'd have the companies stop buying all these expensive machines and take the money and hire more people. That way, wait until you raise it by other people working. Then more people will have money. Then raise the property values, because more people will want to buy property. I think that people in Dixon need to learn how to have patience. — Angie Madden The city's proposal to raise revenue and help fund development by a utility tax is a good one since the city is in a no-win situation. If something isn't done to attract industry to our fair city by the year 2000, Dixon will be a ghost town. — Todd Martin DIXON TASTES LIFE ABROAD Foreign Consultants Kirchner, Hiramatsu, Parayre, and Ai-Un have taught American students about their different cultures. Fumio Hiramatsu Japan Fumio Hiramatsu of Sasebo, Kyushu, Japan, a city just fifty miles north of Nagasaki City, is a certified teacher of Math and Science. He majored in ma- rine engineering and economics. He lat- er worked for a bus company for thirty years. He is also involved in insurance, real estate, accounting, and auditing. His interests in the language and cul- ture differences between Japan and oth- er countries has brought him to the United States. He enjoys life in a foreign culture and hopes to introduce Japanese culture to other countries. In his free time he takes pictures and swims. Manfred Kirchner Germany Manfred Kirchner of Germany per- formed Civil Service work at a hospital in Springe prior to being a student of English, Physical Education, and Social Sciences at the University of Bremen. After several interviews and exami- nations he was chosen by the German Marshal Fund and the Fulbright-Stiftung to work as a German Consultant Teach- er in the Dixon Public School System. Before coming to Dixon, he took part in a Preacademic Summer Program at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He enjoyed teaching in Dixon be- cause he believed the American stu- dents were very interested in learning more about foreign culture such as Ger- man. He hopes to pass all the expe- rience he's gained onto the German stu- dents he will have in the future. Li Ai-Jun China Li Ai-Jun of the People's Republic of China was a high school English teacher before coming to the United States. He was given this opportunity by the Amer- ican Field Service, an exchange program for foreign English teachers. He's pleased to have been allowed to in- troduce China to the United States. He's learning more about America and he hopes to take what he's learned back to China. He's found teaching the Dixon Public Schools fun. He views Dixon as a friend- ly, little town and he's made friends with teachers as well as with students. He believes the two countries should form a friendly bridge. Jocelyn Parayre France Jocelyn Parayre of Evreaux, France comes from a fairly large family con- sisting of three sisters and one brother. Her father works as an inspector in the French Ministry of Work. While attending Montpellier High School, she learned English, Latin, and some Spanish. After graduating from the Montpellier Arts School (Ecole des Beaux Arts), she studied in Montpellier University for five years. There, she ob- tained three Bachelor Degrees in the following subjects: English Literature and Civilization; German Literature and Civilization; and French as a foreign lan- guage. She also obtained a Master's De- gree in English. She traveled throughout Europe to discover different cultures and peoples of England, Germany, Austria, Spain, It- aly, and Switzerland. She taught French as a foreign language in Austria, England, and Germany to pupils from ages 11 to 18 and to adults in a Further Education School. She was sent to the United States to teach French and the French culture by the French Ministry of Education in Par- is, hoping to learn more about the Amer- ican culture and people. Luis Hails From Aragatuba, Luis Otavio DaSilva was one of this year's exchange students. Luis is from Brazil and he arrived here January 25, 1987. Luis is 18 years old and was a Senior here at Dixon High School. He enjoyed many things here in the United States despite the fact that he spoke very little English when he arrived. One of his fa- vorite things was the snow because they don't have snow in Brazil except in the mountains. To Luis Christmas has a very special meaning because he is Catholic. During Christmas in Brazil he went to Mass three or four times in one day. Luis likes American Christmases because of the beautiful trees and the many wonderful presents. Even though Luis liked Dixon, he missed his family very much. Luis re- turned to Brazil and his family on De- cember 29, 1987. Hasta luego Luis! Mami, a Pleasant Addition A new face was seen roaming the halls of Dixon High School and it belonged to foreign exchange student Mami Chiyokubo. She arrived in the United States in August of 1987 from her home in Tokyo, Japan. The family of Mr. William Storey host- ed Mami for the school year. Her senior year was spent enjoying high school life the American way. Why Dukes? As a result of a nickname contest con- ducted in Dixon late in 1939, the Dixon Dukes was the title chosen for local athletic teams. Dixon High School's colors, purple and white, fig- ured in well with the royalty connected with the new team name. Mrs. Fred Page was given credit for suggesting the Dukes name in a city-wide contest sponsored by the high school. Mrs. Page's suggestion won not only the judges' approval but $5 for her as well. Judges included T. J. Miller, a fan; Kenneth Barnhart, former football team member; Mrs. A. C. Bowers, wife of the Athletic Director; Mrs. L. C. Shoaf, par- ent of an athlete; Marilee Burns, student; Earl Nolan, President of the Alumni As- sociation; and the sports editor of the Telegraph, Don Danielson. Other suggestions were Darts, Blackhawks, Rocks, Dixies, Rockets, Dodgers, Ramblers, Eagles, Wildcats, Defenders, and Bearcats. The 1939-40 Basketball team wore for the first time the Royal Purple uniforms with Dixon Dukes on them on Dec. 1 in a game against the heavyweight A and B teams of the Alumni coached by Charles Roundy. (The Dukes barely won a 20 to 18 victory over the Alumni). Playing for the Dukes that evening were Ardell Bugg, Clarence Kelly, Bill Schults, Bill McNichols, Bill Witzleb, and Bob McNamera. Playing for the Alumni teams were Allen Boyd, Earl Flanagan, Sammy Belleu, Laverne McMillion, Bob Kruz, Gene McNamera, Red Ellis, Red Flan- agan, Bob Coakley and Jerry Kerley. The Dixon Evening Telegraph noted the name Dukes would apply to all teams with the exception being that the name will share honor with the traditional Sharpshooters which is a natural for the basketball team of Coach L. E. Sharpe. Both names will be used in that case. (from an article by George Lamb in the Dixon Eve- ning Telegraph Looking Back series). Body Building During the summer a workshop was or- ganized by Mr. Kaczmarek. It was con- ducted by Stephan Fernholm, a World Champion Discus thrower, representing an organization called Bigger Faster Stronger, Inc. The workshop taught training tech- niques, which would produce a great ath- lete. Mr. Kaczmarek hoped the results would turn around the attitude of students and show athletes that hard work can achieve more than talent. The only dis- appointment Mr. Kaczmarek had was the small number of participants. Shane Miller believes in body building for compe- tition. Hill, Lantz «loin the Forces A few D.H.S. seniors are taking a different turn in the game of life after high school. While most people have applied to colleges, Larry Hill and Rob Lantz have joined the Army. Larry Hill joined the army reserves on January 9, 1987.

Great entertainers! Performed on October 15 all the way from California. Flyers The Flyers, one of the newest organizations at D.H.S., had an active year. They set out to create alternatives for teens other than drink- ing and drugs. Some activities this past year included the Rated 10 concert, a hayride with other high schools in the country, pic- nics, workshops, parties, and various types of outings. There are also sub-groups within the Flyers including a clowning group and a the- atrical dance group that put on presentations for various groups of students regarding peer pressure and decision making. Membership at the beginning of the year consisted of only 6 people, but this quickly rose to 45 people. Members of the Flyers have also spoken at various places in the community including the Welcome Wagon, Radio Station WSDR and the Kiwanas. Sponsors for the Flyers were Mr. Schmelcher, Ms. Spraetz, and Mr. Rogers. Stacy Bearden and Mary Diehl are enjoying the country air at the Flyers Barn Dance and Hay Ride. b OFFICERS: BOARD MEMBERS: Amy Thayer, Tracy Berocan, Mary Huseman; Treas. Kathy Garaner.

Brighten Beach Memoirs The memories This year's fall play was the satirical comedy Brighton Beach Memoirs by the famous playwright Neil Simon. This play portrays a few days in the life of a young Brooklyn teenager. Eu- gene (played by Mark Rudolphi) is the main character and the omniscient narrator. He loves baseball and is just becoming interested in girls. The fam- ily consists of Eugene's over- achieving father, jack (played by Chris Stephenitch), his very tidy mother, Kate (played by Beth Freres), his older and vastly more experience brother, Stan (played by Ryan Eaton), his widowed and always worrying aunt, Blanche (played by Angie Wil- stead), her daughter and Eugene's heartthrob, Nora (played by Erin Devine), and the forever bratty daughter, Laurie (played by Mary Utz). Mr. Manning, the director and Roger Lane, the stage manager also proved to be instrumental in the pro- duction of the play. Top: Eugene (Mark Rudolphi) writes down all his deep dark secrets in his memoir book. Above: Eugene, you're still looking up the girls' dresses from the staircase! (Stan) (Ryan Eaton).

Once again, like clockwork the year brought new person- alities, old acquaintances, and seasonal veterans back for another fun-filled and action-packed time of their lives. Well, maybe that's going too far, but still, ac- ademics, sports, and extracurricular ac- tivities were the rules of the games and the students not only played, they played with style and skill. The students plunged into all the activities with drive and de- termination. joining clubs and organiza- tions, attending plays and the spring mu- sical, cheering on the Dukes and Duchesses at sports events and just mak- ing an effort to create an atmosphere of togetherness, they showed their spirit. Congratulations, (your name), you have done it again. You have won friend- ships and knowledge to last you a life- time. The D.H.S. Constitution Committee proudly shows they know who we are at the annual Petunia Fes- tival Parade to celebrate the birthday of the Con- stitution. Seniors Take Tlieir Last Turn At long last the seniors reached the grand finale. Their year was consumed by thoughts of college days, homecoming, applying to the right colleges, Prom, and the much awaited graduation. Never again will this distinct group grace the halls of Dixon High School. Keeping the senior class in such rare form were Susan Larkin, President; Traci Brimm, Vice President; and Christine Harshman, Secretary-Treasurer.

It was just 'so so.' The most fun I had was when I was a junior. I had a lot of fun in P.ED. P.ED. was my favorite class every year because we had more fun than in other classes. Ying Yang The best year has been my senior year. The things I remember in the 4 years are Mr. Rodger's punishments, Mr. Rodger's phone calls, and Mr. Brunick for understanding it all this past year. Penny Blackburn My one favorite memory about High School is 'Hall Monitoring.' There were so many funny incidents that happened. For instance: I got noticed by the juniors and seniors in Psychology class. They got a big laugh when I tripped over a wire and fell on my face and papers flew everywhere. Audrey Rico ... a big laugh when I tripped My favorite memory at Dixon High School: I met some teachers. They treat- ed me nice and I respeOthem also. But some teachers treated the students nice and some students made fun of the teachers. Anyway, I had a great time in Dixon High School. I learned a lot of courses from the teachers at Dixon High School. Ge Yang My favorite memory was in my junior year at DHS when I played in the 'powder puff' game. We beat the soph and senior team 36 to 6. I remember how it was raining and all the girls were putting mud on their faces. It was a very exciting game. Tara A. Duncan My favorite memories of my four years at D.H.S. are going to W.I.U. with Brenda Schappert and Dawn Castle. The Cross Country party at John's house. The ride to WAVC every morning. The smil- ing faces of the teachers when they gave us a long assignment. The most impor- tant memories are all the new friend- ships that I made. Tammy Giltner My biggest memory of D.H.S. will have to be lunch. Senior year lunch hour was the best. Jan and Roger always seemed to make it interesting with all of their cute little jokes. Jennifer Johnson During High School there was not just one favorite memory. For me, there were several. I remember all the parties and fun times I had with my friends. I remember Cross Country and track meets. I especially remember some of the friends I lost through accidents. Teresa Giltner .. mud on their faces ... My favorite memory is of the times me and Jody went cruising after the games on Friday nights; and when we left a certain person a little surprise in someone's mailbox. Roxane Patten I'll never forget the day Mr. Willard embarrassed me. I had no idea what was said in confidence would turn into a class election. I should have known bet- ter than to trust such a slick character.

They made their second year of high school life exciting and rewarding. This was achieved by sophomores playing on varsity teams, joining the academic bowl, and leading clubs and organizations which added to the class of '90's achievements. Sophomores jumped into school with spirit this year. They made plans to sell candy and organize concessions at dances. They went to football games, sat in the cold and rain supporting the Dukes, and cheered the Duchesses on their way to Sectionals. They even helped the band entertain the crowd in the halftime shows. Being involved in the play and student council was also a part of these soph- omores' participation during this year. The students of the class of '90 will soon be at the top of the ladder looking upon the rest of the world.

A fine example is de- picted on the next few pages. Dixon High School staff members take their lines quite seriously. Much concentration and dedication are put into their work and the results are often pure aggravation. They're simply not people who do nothing but wait for payday. They're educators who know that the knowledge instilled into a student's mind during his high school years is often useful later in life. Lines at Dixon High sometimes take on new mean- ing!! This is a map is Mr. Morss' way of helping students learn the difference between maps and other objects in his classroom. I don't know is simply not uttered in Mr. McClintock's class. Straying away from the tangent is purely accidental in Mrs. Hepner's class. Mrs. Anderson never fails to let her students know that she does not approve of asinine be- havior. And when Mr. Willard says, You don't think I know what goes on around here, students are led to believe he follows them through the halls. Kent (ohansen Principal Michael Brunick Asst.

(Mr. Nightlinger) Sports at Dixon High School this year were anything but a trivial pursuit, the games, the meets, and the tournaments showed just a small portion of the effort these athletes put into their particular sport. Even though it was these events that counted on paper it was in practice that one could see how much dedication these young men and women had. The fans also deserve credit. They packed into the stands for every football and basketball game. Many went as far as Dewitt, Iowa to see the football team open up the season. It is this kind of dedication that makes sports great. Although some teams wer- en't as successful as some would have liked them to be, whether winning or los- ing they all played like champions. Football players bust out for the homecoming game against Streator. Varsity Volleyball The Varsity Volleyball Duchesses fin- ished an up and down season at 13 wins and 16 losses. This record doesn't show the hard-fought matches lost only by a few points. The team had depth; and despite in- juries they were able to generate hard- hitting aggressive play on the court. The climax of the season was post- season play. The team used strong net play to capture the regional title. With high hopes they moved on their own sectional, but were defeated in the final round. This team deserves credit for a thrill- ing season. Row 1: Jenni Holland, Krista Bollman, Colleen Lahey, Laurie Fane. Row 2: Tammy Vail, Anne Bell, Kathy Schrock, Mary Melvin, Trisha Thompson.

Their record was 2-7 but that didn't show the work they put into it. The players spent their summer lifting weights preparing for the season. With a little luck on their side they could have easily been 4-5. A tough schedule also hurt them. Two of their losses came from teams who eventually made the playoffs. It was nice to see them finish with a win. They showed everyone what they could really do by destroying Rockfalls, who were a playoff caliber team, after the season ended. Four play- ers were named to the Dixon Tele- graph's all area football team. Scoreboard DeWitt.

Dukes Move to Grand Detour For the first time since the soccer program began here at D.H.S. our soc- cer team could walk off the field win- ners more often than losers. Their big winning streak all started when they won the Dixon Invitational. With the help of the new coach, George Weinert, and some underclass- men there was a big turn-around when the Dukes tied and defeated teams that embarrassed them last year. As newcomers Mike Beevers, a jun- ior, and Troy Dayton, a freshman, great- ly contributed to the team this year. Our defense was anchored by a bunch of hard core seniors (Wayne Lengquist, Fred Zbinden, and Mike Snyder) with the addition of a junior (Mike Beevers). The half-backs consist- ed of two sophomores (Sie Singmoungthong and Eric FHigby) and a freshman (Troy Dayton). The forward line, of two seniors (Don Abell and Matt Snyder) and a sophomore (Steve Califf), provided a better attack than the pre- vious years. Theron Harderson and Bri- an Dixon anchored the net with many fine saves. With this mixture of talent, the Dukes surprised many powerful teams, such as the Rockford East E-Rabs, whom had defeated the Dukes 9-0 in the previous season. At the conclusion of the campaign Fred Zbinden and Mike Beevers were selected co-captains. by Theron Hardersen Mike Beevers takes a penalty kick. Don Abell takes a corner kick.

BOYS’ CROSS COUNTRY The boys varsity team compiled an 8- 6 dual meet record for the 1987 season. The varsity team came in 2nd at the Rockfalls Invitational, 4th at the Dixon Invitational, and 3rd at the NCIC meet. The team's leading runner this year was senior Rob Dowell. Dowell finished first at the Newman, Rockfalls and Free- port Invitationals, and at the NCIC meet as well. Dowell qualified for the sec- tional meet along with Sophomore, Paul Spangler, but only Dowell continued on to the state meet. Dowell came in a respectable 31. The team was led by its captain Chris Apple and Seniors Carl Johnson, Eric Zimmerman, and Rob Dowell. Three Fresh-Soph runners also ran on the var- sity squad. These were Sophomores Paul Spangler, Chris McBride, and Freshman Mark Swim, (by Pete Woh- rley) Right: Eric Zimmerman moves to pass two of his competitors. Chris Apple sprints ahead to help his team.

Under the guidance of first year Coach Barb Franklin, the boys' golf team had their moment in the spotlight as they opened the season with a triangular victory over Rock Falls and Oregon. Even though competition was tough, the team faced it with skill and expe- rience. Outstanding performances were given by Rob LeSage and Curt Fiargrave. Challenge and determination built up the team's confidence and talents. The team's enthusiasm for the game of golf inspired other teammates to do their best during the season and keep it alive until the end. Kewanee Roc k Falls Mt.

As always, there were those players who showed admirable talent and for- titude throughout the season. These Dukes were Bill Wilson, who led the Dukes in scoring with a 13.4 average; Drew Schilling and Jay Schaab, who also had hot hands this year; Roger Can- non, the big man on court; Rex Paisley and Robert LeSage, two first-rate guards; and several others including Ryan Reed, Chris Barnhart, Marc Nettz, and Dan Newman.

A few breaks at the right time would have made a big difference in the win-lose column. Their season ended at 11-14. The team competed in the Limestone and Dixon Invitationals. Also in the Rockfalls Regional the Duchesses were defeated in the first round by a powerful Rochelle team. Three seniors, Kim Deatherage, and co-captains Jill Mes- samore and Sherri Dixon, were honored before the last home game against Lesalle-Peru. Two fourth-quarter three point shots, newly adopted this year in high school games sent the game into overtime. The Duchesses were coached by Miss Spencer for the third straight year.

The people and the organ- ization inspired Mark to set up an interview with Up With People. In December he was invited to join the cast. I like singing and dancing — that was part of it. I want to get into the world and see it, he said. Armed with 2 years of Spanish, Mark will be visiting many placed including Mexico, Japan, Western Europe, Brazil, and Canada. From July 1988 to June 1989, Mark will be har- monizing around the world. Melissa Bloemker and Aaron Shippert shined for the music department at Dixon High School this year. Melissa, a junior, represented the choral department by earning a position on the All-State Jazz Show Choir. She succeeded at the auditions in Rochelle and DeKalb before she joined 32 other voices in DeKalb. Aaron had to undergo similiar steps to receive his honor. He first went to I.M.E.S. and then districts. At district competition Aaron was awarded second chair trombone in the All-State Band. Melissa performed January 28 and Aaron played on the 30th. Bradley University hosted the All-State, gathering the best high school musicians together for three days. Aaron and Melissa represented Dixon with their talent. f.ongrat illations KIOIAK� GUISE AM� 'HS Git ADS AGKO PRO WOOSUAG, IE IT HAPPEN JAZZ BAND: Row 1: Brent Bowman, Krista Bollman, Tammy Zim- merman, Kellie Aiken, Liz Anderson.

During his first year at Dixon High School, Kent Nightinger has added a new beat to the music department. Innovative performances and a new jazz band were two of his new ideas. The band also created a stir when the Pep Band was chosen as one of the eight school bands of seventy-three bands to play at the boys Class 2A state final bas- ketball tournament in Champaign's Assembly Hall. The first per- formance of its kind in the school's history was met with enthusiasm by the students. Firsts in IHSA Contest were earned by Grim's per- cussion solo; Bowman's bass clarinet solo; Burrs, Pettenger, M. Keeley, Shipped, Keith Bollman, and Mark Gusse's brass sextet on March 5 at Sterling.

Nine teams gath- ered in a battle of the brains. This mesh- ing of the minds occurred at Dixon High School. Dixon was triumphant over the teams in their group including a for- midable Streator. Erik Brunick, Lucas Como, Christine Harshman, Mike Keeley, Pat Kirk and Matt Sandschafer formed the Dixon team. Determined by the average number of tossups answered per game, an all- conference team of ten members was selected. Three people represented Dix- on, placing 5th, 6th, and 7th respec- tively: Lucas Como, Christine Harshman, and Matt Sandschafer. The team was coahced by Mrs. Wea- ver and Mr. Willard. The choral department livened up the long days of winter with the mid-winter choral concert on Sunday, February 21. The community gathered in the audi- torium to listen to the voices of DHS Madrigals, Treble Choir, Boys Chorus, J.W. and Co., Girls Chorus, Mixed Cho- rus, and Robed Choir performed. James Wiltz cultivated the many voices into yet another enjoyable concert. Back: Matt Sandschaffer, Mike Keeley, Patt Kirk.
