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.
