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.
