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.

ihxim Dixini had two editors this year and two sponsors as it began publication for the 1987-88 year. Christine Harshman and Jennifer Wermers served as co-editors and Nancy Clarckson and Otto Dick began their second year as co-sponsors for the Dixini.

Traci Brimm edited the double page of each issue. Features directed by Trisha Thomp- son, was staffed by Eric Brunick and Kor- rine McClain.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUB The Foreign Language Club was back for its 3rd year. This year they were as busy as ever. 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.
