Trying to choose one person to dedicate this year's annu- al to was hard until we learned of the fact that Dodge- land was losing one of its Greatest Hits '' Mr. Roberson, D.H.S. band director, has been an extremely dedicated leader for eight years; he has now decided to expand his horizons and make a career move. One of the aspects of Mr. Roberson's personality that the students will miss the most is his ability to relate to the students on a one-to-one basis. He treats students as commrades, making them feel as his equal. Mr. Roberson's devotion to the school was shown through his busy schedule. Not only did he organize high school activities, but he also taught elementary students. When much of the faculty spent their summer months vacation- ing, Mr. Roberson spent his summers preparing the march- ing band for concerts and competition. Many long, hard hours went iinto making his band a success. A typical stereotype of a band director is seeing him or her as the band leader, and the band leader only. Mr. Rober- son was an exception to the rule. Involvement in Junior Miss, the musicals, and every other activity or event that included sound kept this loyal musician busy throughout the school year. Roby's abilities at directing many talented students resulted in special honors for these pupils. He brought out musical inclinations in his students which helped them to achieve great awards. I believe that I, as a music educator, must clear the pathway and guide my students through the realms of music and develop in them a clear understanding of musical elements. In addition. I must allow them every chance possible to experience the ex- pressiveness in music and lead them to the development of appreciation and feeling. -Mr. Roberson. Many thanks goes out to an excellent band leader humanitarian for his eight years of service at Dodgeland High. Good luck in the future, Roby we'll miss you!!! 2

In composing this editor's note, we have found it hard to put our many feeling into words. We can always laugh at those “funny situations, but putting them into a meaningful organization of sentences is the difficult part! We will always remember all of the deadlines that we needed extensions on. or the pictures that we either forgot to take, or those pictures we borrowed from the Independent, but we tried our darndest. and we hope everyone notices the improvements in the '87-'88 addition of Reflections. We'd first like to thank Ms. Henthorne (Lucy) for not strangling us when she really wanted to (patience is a virture. Lucy!), we couldn't have done it without you. baby! We must thank Mr. Roberson. Without him. who would we have dedicated our yearbook to?!? Miss Lemke deserves our thanks for keeping the computer lab open those extra ten minutes or so for us to finish-up! A new- commer to help D.H.S. J. Little, was very generous in taking the Senior class picture-thanks to him. Another photographer. Mr. Walcott, deserves our thanks for taking Prom and large-group pictures. Without the help of the Independent newspaper, many of the yearbook pages would be blank; we truly appreciate all of the Independent's help. We'd also like to acknowledge Juneau's Piggly Wiggly for its friendly, speedy service The processing of our photos is of the utmost importance to our yearbook. Finally, thanks to the rest of the Reflections staff for all of their work (and good luck next year)! We hope that this book has captured some special memories for each one of you. It's not easy trying to please everyone, but we sincerely tried. We've also tried to pull some of the emphasis off traditional subject matter and place it on the fine orts-especially the music aspect All of us know that the district needs some revolutionary changes. Hopefully, this yearbook has been instrumental in showing that changes are not only good, but necessary. We hope our district can pull together and unite as one. We think a new school would give the students a sense of belonging and a new feeling of pride. But enough said on the school issue (that's reserved for later pages!!). We'd like to leave you with these final words of wisdom: Music must take rank as the highest of the fine arts-as the one which, more than any other, ministers to human welfare. -Herbert Spencer, from On the Orpin and Function of Music. 4
