We are not talking about Bach, Beethoven, or Model T's. We are talking here and now - the times that made 1987 at DHS a CLASSIC - somewhat different but overall the same. Where did the crowded halls go? ls this Dumas High? With the transfer of the Freshmen class back to junior high, we all felt a sense of a little more freedom and space. . . . Here's to you Alma Mater true. Mr. Reding is one of the constants of Dumas High School. The Dumas vs. McGehee game drew the biggest crowd since 1983. 2 The Bobcats, along with their fans pinned their hopes on a 10-0 season with revenge early over Dollarway, McGehee. and Dewitt. Though some changes seemed unimportant or trivial. they made this year one that will get better for us as time passes. Time. effort, and energy made DHS what it is, but it is really the people here that make it unique. Anyone that had classes with one of the three exchange students will always remember them. Those that were unfortunate to experience Alternate Classroom, will certainly have that memory. But the Germanburgers were still there along with Bar-B-Q beef on bun. Some things never change. And we were here, we lived our classic year, there will never be another like it But we can remember. ,C sv'-f' NN v Owls f :...' LAW 1 5,1 'uf X 'C A 'X . I :- A . , ' H' '- ' Y?.A LQ- A Q' F r f!'

Mom! There's just nothing for me there. lt will be the same old, boring school! Why go? Nothing's changed! WRONG!!! With the opening of the 86-87 DHS school year things definitely were different! What?! No freshmen?! Correct! Due to the crowded classrooms and hallways at DHS. 9th graders got to spend another year at Junior High before leaping into the fast paced life of High FAME proved to be a real change, including only one oversized backdrop and a theme that fit today's modern life styles. Are we having fun yet? Not Mr. McHan's normal style. but very appropriate for registration day. Spirit filled the stands on Friday nights as Brad Chambless showed off his Bobcat paw . 4 School as sophomores. This not only gave upper classmen a little more freedom, but students could actually see their feet as they strolled through the halls. Another change made at DHS was Alternate Classroom a.k.a. as prison . Added to fulfill one of the requirements of the standards. students who otherwise would have been suspended were assigned there to spend their school day in isolation with tons of work to keep them busy. For the first time DHS'ers were confronted with the term Basic Skills . and told they MUST master them if they were to pass courses. As with many things. these skills were not new but simple the first time most had heard them identified as such. Teachers, busily and with many groans. compiled all the corralations to texts. student check sheets, and sponge activity sheets to get us through these and Mat-6.

'r , n .en H L4 S Q Coming Llp With The Big Bucks! The Basics May Be Free But Those Extras Cost! ith a Classic year comes those Classic thoughts. Club dues have to be paid by Friday. Mr. Kell will be here Tuesday, you must have your S30 deposit. Tomorrow is the last day to buy a year- book. Now, more than ever, stu- dents are realizing that money doesn't grow on trees. Sophomores have it a little easier than others. They only have to pay for school pic- tures. test fees. club fees, and spirit ribbons. Juniors get into BIG bucks with their class rings. They also dish out for school pic- tures, ACT, PSAT, and NEDT tests and club fees. But as your Senior year rolls around. so must the money. The last year in high school is Shane Riley found that sacking groceries at Mad Buther helped put those extra bucks in his pocket. 5' e definately the most expensive. Senior pictures, graduation an- nouncements, cap and gown and name cards, as well as cap and gown pictures are just some of the expenses during that last year. Plus, there are the expenses of PROM to add to everything else. Something all students must worry about is taking care of the new social studies books. When students person- alized their books. they found had the cost had risen drasti- cally. from a measley 50C to full price for replacement of the book. Another option that was a MUST was the yearbook. These expenses all seem to come at the same time and many found that their financial condition suffered. Many DHS students found that while mom and dad would pick up some of the slack, they were expected to come up with their share as well. Pay- ing your own way can certainly make you check your priori- ties AND the price tag. After school jobs helped stu- dents learn responsibility. be- ing on time for work. and pride in doing a good job. All of that sounds very no- ble, but if you asked any one of the student workers. they would tell you that they would rather someone else paid the way. But alas. that is not to be. and since counterfeiting is il- legal. get a job and start sav- ing those bucks. You are going to need them! Juniors get the bad news from Mr. Kell about the cost of those all important class rings. 45 Ei Y Za 3.3 5 lllif Yll-'I .JR .pf Yagi' X ,J Y . an-f ' H, .

Six hundred students pushing and shoving to get to one table for one class. no doubt offered one period. was enough to give anyone gray hair. But there was some good with the bad. The absence of 250 freshmen. not knowing what in the world to do. made this year's day of reckoning somewhat smoother. As usual, many students found that they had to alter their schedules because class such as psychologyfsociology, biology, Algebra ll, and typing filled up quickly. But in the end everyone was put into five classes and no one was sent home because there was no room for them. A classic beginning to a classic year! Seniors line up for social studies classes.

Business courses offered at DHS have increased in popularity and demand within the last few years. Accounting is often a starting point for building a career. lt teaches the student the basic skills useful in gaining entry into the field of accounting. This course not only helps the career bound or college bound student, but also prepares for individual record keeping in the family unit. If you enjoy working with numbers and can keep records accurately, accounting is your class! The intent of business math is to prepare students for today's careers in the business field. The course is divided into three parts. Part one covers the essential arithmetic skills necessary for most business computations. Part two deals with the most common problems requiring computation in business and part three deals with consumer problems with emphasis on such topics as rate of interest on installment credit, personal 32 investments. taxes, and automobile and life insurance. Computer was offered to anyone with a previous typing course and taught the basics in computer. Typing l covered the basics in typing. Class time was spent developing typing skills and speed. The student learned to type business letters, reports. envelopes, tables. and other office forms. This course is offered to 10th, llth, and 12th graders. Typing ll was an advanced course of typewriting that helped the student improve their skill levels and their speed. The student did extensive typing of different types of business forms and material. The office technology lab course taught the student the basic skills needed in the modern office world. Word processing. preparing letter formats. and business reports were a few of the tasks covered in this course. After missing the instruction from the teacher. Chris Wiley sought additional help from Chandra Fleming in Typing ll. Home row keys were like family to Jennifer Dancer. 1 '37 S E lf Kelly Smith stared in bewilderment at this complicated machine - the typewriter in Office Technology Lab.

But when we look ack years from now, we will member the many changes hat made it a CLASSIC r us. Beginning our year ith a first time 100 season llowed by home field dvantage in the State Play ffs. the mightly Mud ats ruled the 8AAA onference. Being one of only four rkansas teams invited, the oys basketball team won wo out of three in the King otton Classic. Activities at DHS were an ntricate part in making 86- 87 a CLASSlC. The blood drive sponsored by HOSA once again led our county. The Student Council speakers from nearby colleges informed on future opportunities The major change was, of course, the removal of the freshmen to their real place in society - Junior High. New standards introduced by Governor Clinton and First Lady Hillary brought new classes and new face to head them. But two major cuts in school funding put districts on the spot as to where to find the money. l --'-Q-Q,-..,,t -N get if .mv M W., 4 4 '9,744?4 4 J' -' ..e.1i'fmf.

Another change in the making for us was the retirement of Superintendent Harold Tidwell after years at the helm of Dumas Schools. A successor had not been selected as this book went to press. The 1986-87 experience had to be lived first-hand. Those who were not here will never know what it meant to be a part of this school year. lt wasn't just another year: it was a CLASSIC!
