Interaction Builds Rapport The relationship of student and administration was not always one of Where are you supposed to be this period?! or How did you say that got there?! During lunch, stu- dents and faculty members min- gled to associate on the same level. Students and faculty also co-oper- ated with each other when the fac- ulty chaperoned various dances, or at the Beta Club Tea for members of the faculty and students who made the honor roll for the semester. On field trips, preparing assem- blies, or just staying after school for tutoring, students and faculty members improved rapport. Decorating for Homecoming, Prom, the Miss D.H.S. Pageant, the Banquet, and class parties also strengthened the bond between students and faculty. There was something disarming about a dis- tinguished D.H.S. faculty member attired in blue jeans, mouth full of nails, perspiration streaming, as he bent to the task at hand.

The Spirit Of D.H.S. Continues Despite Consolidation With the passage of time, changes occur within any given framework. So it is at Dublin. Dub- lin High School has expanded from a small rural school to a large one. It now encompasses students from Fairlawn to Draper. D.H.S. has been in existence for over sixty years. During these years many generations have graduated from Dublin. The last year at Dublin was full of fun, spirit and pride. The closeness between students and faculty that has lasted through the years was more evident in 1973-74. The promises of the Administra- tion to help make the last year the best ever were superbly carried out. Mr. Lindstrom, in his opening remarks to the student body in September, commended D.H.S. students on their past accomplish- ments. He also urged the students to do their part in creating a suc- cessful school year and pledged his support. Since 1969, when the school bond issue was accepted, plans for a consolidated Pulaski County High School had been in the fore- ground of any educationally-ori- ented gathering. Pulaski and Dub- lin High Schools coordinated curriculums in 73-74 to ease the transition. Faculty and students of the two high schools, eagerly anticipated the opening of P.C.H.S., but remi- niscences of the past brought tears of happiness and sadness. Dublin High School ceased to exist as of June 1974, but the spirit of Dublin High, the real Dublin High School, will exist forever. Mr. Norman Crook checks arrival time for bus 18. 3
