Dover High School in 1986 was a unique experience. Many claim high school is the same every year, but not at DHS. There's a certain feeling, maybe good and maybe bad, but it's there. We began the year with some unique changes. This was the first year that students were allowed to wear shorts during the hot weath- er. Freshman Jenny Wheeler explained, “I thought it was great that we got to wear shorts — it helped everyone stay real cool. We also saw the new office formation, combining the attendance, guidance, and main offices. Office girl Beth Harmon said, The new offices make everything seem more business like. In the cafeteria, new additions included the salad and taco bar. This allowed students to have additional choices in food. “The salad bar is healthier food to eat. and it gives everyone a dif ferent choice. explained senior Sherry Eiler. Another Unique situation to the school year was the loss of electricity during most of school one day. It was chaotic in the cafeteria at first, because there are no windows, but after everyone got used to it, students and faculty successfully survived that unique school day. Introduction 3
