Mr. Wesley, now deceased, was one ofthe best-liked teachers in D.C.H.S. Dedication We, the class of I969, wish to show our appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Daugherty for making such a valuable contribution to our school. For the past four years, we have come to understand and appreciate their remarkable leadership and outstanding characteristics. Mr. Daugherty graduated from Knox College in Galesburg. He also did graduate work at the University of Illi- nois and the University of Iowa. Mr. Daugherty started officiating at football and basketball games and finally reached the goal of all high school officials when he was appointed to officiate in the Illinois State Basketball Fi- nals at Champaign in I 938 and I939. His officiating continued until I942. In I943 Mr. Daugherty came to Dupo as principal of the High School and served until I956 in this position. When Unit District I96 was formed he was appointed superintendent, a position he held until the end of the I967-1968 school year. Mr. Daugherty belongs to Kappa Delta Pi and Phi Delta Kappa, which are professional honoraries. He is listed in Who's Who in the Midwest and Illinois Lives. He has served as president of the St. Clair County Teachers' Association and the St. Clair County Administrators' Association. He has served in Kiwanis, Rotary, and Lions Club. He is also a Mason. Mrs. Daugherty received a diploma from Chicago Musical College. After teaching at two different high schools, she then decided to enter the Library School at the University of Illinois. In l948 Mrs. Daugherty was hired as the Dupo High School librarian, and held this position for twenty years. Included in the many organiza- tions in which Mrs. Daugherty participates are Federated Women's Club, Dupo Women's Club, Zonta Club, and Volunteer Service Organization of Christian Welfare Hospital. In I 959 Mrs. Daugherty received the International Service Roll Citation from Gamma Phi Beta, and in l968 received honor for more than five hundred hours of service as a pink lady at Christian Welfare Hospital. y 3 Foreword The D.C.H.S. Tiger is introducing the first graduates, Mrs. Esther Dyroff Barrett and Mrs. Hilda Dyroff Dodson, class of 1919, to Rita lvy and Gregg Groce, class of 1969. This year our book, with pride in our school, commemorates the graduation of the fiftieth class from D.C.H.S. This class continues the story of progress that started on May 29, 1919, when the first two grad- uates, Miss Hilda Dyroff and Miss Esther Dyroff, received their diplomas from Mr. Arthur Goley, presi- dent of the board of education. We will attempt to relate our achievements in many areas: the academic, the athletic, and the social. Through the past fifty years hundreds of students have attended D.C.H.S., studied in its many class- rooms, participated in its various activities, and enioyed the warmth of friendship. Each one has contrib- uted in his own way to its history, while growing in knowledge, understanding and maturity. We hope that our future graduates will attempt great things, achieve great things, and that the world will be a better place because of them. 4 i'No more teachers, no more books . . the Dupo Grade School children shouted with tradi- tional glee as they faced their sum- mer vacation one afternoon in May, l9l5. The last day of school held no significance for the members of the eighth grade class for it marked the end of formal education. There was no high school, and entrance into college meant a stiff examination for which few were qualified - to say nothing of the cost which few could afford. This was the situation that warm evening in June when the Board of Education convened for its regular session. Times had changed, and now more and more education was being required for the better iobs in which teenage boys and girls could gain greater advancement. Tiger Tales l 9 l 9- l 969 i 4 F 5 ROW ONE: left to right: Melba Vallowe, Adela Reichert, Ruth Hamilton, Alfred Muskopf, Elizabeth Hume, Isabella Watkins, and Mr. Frank Wildy. SECOND ROW: left to right: Opal Kysor, Grace Cun- ningham, Esther Dyroff, and Adele Kruse. Members of the board, including Principal F. R. Wildy, President H. W. Schwartz, and Secretary F. G. Fischer, resolved that higher classes of learning were essential for the welfare of Dupo's children. Wildy was then authorized to proceed immediately with Dupo's first two-year high school. The first classes of Dupo High School were held in a room on the second floor of the old part of the Dupo Grade School. The high school and seventh grade shared this room, which contained twenty-five seats and a stage built ' CICFOSS One COFFISF. When classes began the next year, the board's enthusiasm was not completely shared by Dupo's citizens, for only fourteen students enrolled in the newly established high school. In l9l 7, the third year's work was added, and Dupo High School neared the Board's goal of a full-fledged, full- accredited intermediate school. ln two more years, the enrollment had grown to thirty-one, and the Board of Educa- tion was proud of the fledging high school they had nourished. On Moy 29, l9l 9, Dupo's first two graduates received their diplomas from Mr. Arthur Goley, School Board Presi- dent. lt became apparent at this time that the high school was too limited in its facilities. Yielding to the demands of progress, the board decided that establishment of a community-wide high school district would provide the correct answer to the financial problems. Such a district would make it possible to raise more funds, serve more people and pupils, have a better building, and offer a larger variety of courses. lt was a great day - then May l5, l92O, when a petition signed by 56 legal voters was presented to the county superintendent of schools, W. A. Hough, and an election was called for June 5, l92O. 5 An election was called for March 26, 1921, to vote on whether or not to issue i13l00,000 worth of bonds whose That day, an overwhelming majority cast in favor of the organiza- tion of the Dupo Community High School District, the tabulation being l6l votes for and-a mere 22 against. The district was duly organized and comprised approximately 25 square miles, with a valuation of about S3,000,000. An election to select members of the first Board of Education of Community High School District No. T95 was called on June TO. Elect- ed were H. W. Schwartz, president, Fred G. Fischer, secretary, L. J. Parrin, J. A. Wiselogel, and J. D. Schellhardt. Fortune smiled on the local area when large industries were estab- lished to the south of East St. Louis, and the founders of the school dis- trict exhibited great wisdom in incorporating the area which now in- cludes Sauget and ,Cahokia into the district. That wisdom paid off when D.C.H.S. remained as one of the best in the state and aloof from financial distress which had struck nine out of ten school districts in the state because of the post-war rise in operating costs. The rapidly growing grade school and high school soon crowded the eight-room building, erected in 1915, and it was deemed neces- sary to make further provision for housing the high school. iggwrt ,.,, 4 f' ' Esther Dyroff Barrett Class of l9l9 proceeds were to make possible the purchase of a site and erection ofa new building. It was then that the infant dis- trict received its first set-back, for the voters rejected the proposition, 527 against and 352 for. Hilda Dyroff Dodson Class of T919 lngenuity was called upon, and the board caused the erection of a four-room portable building for the high school, which opened in Septem- ber with an enrollment of 45 pupils and four teachers. The district faced its second major test in l 922, when quo warranto pro- ceedings were filed against it. However, this resulted in the court's decision that the district had been legally organized. Then an election in August, on the question of abandoning the district, failed of sufficient majority, and the district remained intact. Wildy resigned at the close of the T922 term, and his position was filled the next year by Williard G. Wright. However, when the board unani- mously decided that a fully-accredited, four-year high school should be established, Mr. R. K. Purl then filled the position as principal for the l923- 24 year. Owing to the already crowded portable buildings and the opportunity to purchase a suitable site, a legal adviser was employed, and plans were made and an election was called for the approval of the site and for erec- tion of a permanent building. The election, held June 20, 1925, resulted in a vote of 441 for 155 against. The site selected by the board consisted of 8.91 acres, well situat- ed, just outside the city limits of Dupo, fronting on State Highway No. 3. The site was purchased at a cost of 51,000 an acre. When school opened in September, there was an enrollment of 66. The portable building was seriously overcrowded. ln order to meet the needs temporarily, an additional room had to be built. The time had arrived when a new, larger, permanent building should be provided. Upon petition of over 300 legal voters, another election was called on December 12, 1925, and a S125,000 bond issue for building purposes carried, 452 to 112. Plans were immediately put into effect. When school opened in September, 1926, part of the pupils were l housed in the new building and the remainder in the old one. However, by , , , , October 1, all were in the new structure, with an enrollment of 102. Frank Wildy, First Principal of DCHS On November 12, 1926, the dedicatory program was held. Dupo prac- tically declared a holiday the day the keys to the new building were pres- ented to the Board of Education. Secretary Schellhardt prophesied in his speech at the dedicatory services that school enrollment would have out- stripped facilities by 1931 or 1932. That prediction was well-founded for by 1931 , it was necessary to prepare plans for a vocational building to supplement the original plant. A bond issue election again was called and approval was given. The structure was completed that same year. In 1935, after 13 years as principal, Purl resigned. Charles Allen, well-known in educational circles throughout the state, accepted the position. Allen served the school until 1939, and Assistant Principal John P. Minier became acting principal. A special election was held the year before at which the voters reiected a proposal for a new field house and a swim pool. The field house was considered too elaborate, although a similar structure since has been added - minus the pool. ln the meantime, enrollment in recent years had grown by leaps and bounds. Again facilities became too crowded, and for the third time in its 20-odd years of existence, the highschool district again faced an essential building program. The result was todays fine gym- nasium. That building was completed in 1941. Allen returned for another year as head of the faculty, but again resigned, and in 1943, A. C. Daughtery was employed by the district. The school continued its growth with enrollment being 690 in 9 through 12. ln 1945, a bus garage was added with storage space for seven buses, a washroom, and a repair shop. In 1949, an athletic field was built with provision for night football and a quarter mile cinder track with a 220-yard straightway. Permanent bleachers are on each side of the field. Later a field house was built with two large dressing rooms, a storage room, public toilets, and a concession stand. ' R. K. Purl, Principal of DCHS for 25 Years .iw 1' ygggc . 1 C ..,.,., g Q.

At this time, Mr. A. C. Daughtery resigned as principal of the high school to take the position as superintendent of the new district. Mr. Charles Faulkner then filled the position as principal of the high school for the next two years when Mr. J. R. Allen replaced him. To relieve crowding in the Elementary Schools, a Junior High School was organized and all seventh and eighth grade students of the area were brought together in the high school building. This same year, Mr. Hewey Tweedy was employed by the board as the new high school principal. As the enrollment increased, the building became overcrowded. A bond issue of S400,000 was noted to build a iunior high building, to remodel the vocational building, and to add on to the elementary schools. Junior High School students moved into a modern ten-room building in January of 1960. DCHS dedicated on November 12, 1926 Four years later, Mr. John R. Biby filled the position of principal after Mr. Tweedy resigned. At the close of the 1967-68 school year, Mr. A. C. Daughtery retired after 25 years of service to the district. Mr. . Patrick Mudd, U.S. History teacher, was hired as the new superintendent of the district. Mr. Biby also left the high school that year and Mr. Everett Parkhill, Math teacher, replaced him. Districts 196 and 187 now have formed a joint district tor Special Edu- cation. A certified staff of approxi- mately 71 teachers and administrators serve the Unit District 196. Vocational building completed in 1931 During the first year of Dupo High School, one man, Mr. F. R, Wildy, accepted all responsibility. He served as the only teacher and also the principal for several years. In l92l, when the board purchased the portable buildings, the enrollment increased, and therefore, made it necessary to add to the teaching staff. The board then employed three more teachers to assist Mr. Wildy. The year the board unanimously decided that a fully accredited, four-year high school should be es- tablished only those teachers whose qualifications met the requirements for fully accredited high schools were considered for the l923-24 school year. The faculty consisted of Miss Lottie Gascho, Miss Ethel Helmkamp, Miss Lois Weeks, and R. K. members of ,he j935 focujw, Purl, also as principal. During the next two years the staff grew to five teachers. When the school moved into the new structure in l926, there was an enrollment of lO2, seven teachers, and a librarian employed, contrasting with todays enrollment of almost 500 pupils and ci faculty consisting of Principal E. C. Parkhill, 33 teachers, one librarian, two secretaries, 5 janitors, and 5 specialists. The early curriculum of D.C.l'l.S. consisted of only the basic subjects. In l93O, physics and advanced math were offered on alternate years and three years of drawing and shop were added. During this same year, the class periods were lengthend to 60 minutes, District T95 started a two-year high school at Maplewood that year with five subjects taught, but the next year it disbanded and the students were again bussed to Dupo. No major changes were made until l942 when a course in pre-flight aeronautics for seniors was started to give students basic training in the principles of flight as well as an understanding of weather conditions, instruments, and the physical qualifications for fliers. lt did not attempt to give any actual practice in flying. In T966, however, an aerospace education class was introduced to Dupo. This was the first of its kind in the state which gave experience in flying as well as ground rules. Also, in l966, a vocational metals program and driver's education were introduced. The driver's education course includes Ubehind-the-wheel training and also the book work on rules and regulations. The present curriculum is well balanced between vocational and academic subjects and makes it possible for a student to get an adequate foundation for college, trade school, or job. Mr. John Laurent and Mr. Erwin Dyroff Activities Develop Responsibility An early yearbook staff under the guidance of Miss Sue Crain. For the past fifty years students at Dupo Community High School have participated in over sixty different organiza- tions ranging from mathematics to music. Students have given their time, effort, and ideas to school-sponsored groups, improving not only themselves, but also the school as a whole. Through these activities they have become bet- ter men and women, fostered friendships, and developed a sense of responsibility and cooperation. Under proper su- pervision school has become good clean fun instead of work. Creative abilities, imaginations, and leadership were brought out during these school activities. D.C.H.S. has had honorary clubs as well as social and hobb-y clubs. ln l936, the list added' up to 24, in l943, it was 29 and made up 807-J of the student body. V Many of our activities originated in the late '2O's and early '3O's. In l927, for example, the first faint strains of music echoed down the halls, when choruses and an orchestra llater called the bandl were organized. In 1931, after reorganization, the chorus presented its first operetta, The Gypsy Rover, and in l932, Miss Cherry Blossom. Additional musical groups were the Drum and Bugle Corps formed in l937, the Glee Club, different quartets, vocal and mixed ensembles, and a dance band, In l934, Mr. Murfin took over the music department and later Mr. Young became the head. In l966, Mr. Ziegler reorganized the high school into two groups - Mixed Chorus and Girls' Cho- rus, while Mr. Young directed the band at football and basketball games, assemblies, and open house. Since l 955 the drum maiorettes have marched with the band on special occasions. Classical, popular, and religious music have been played at open house, Christmas concerts, musicals, and commencement exercises. l0t 4,v !f . f f- ,,,,-'f ft YV It I ' :mfg IU-A A 5191, f In l929, the D Club wasorgddnized with ten charter members with the purpose of upytold'ing.'cfl'darl sportsman- ship in all phases of athletic activity. 'i-- Our Varsity Club' formed in T947 is much the same. ltspurpose is to estfdb- lish better relationships between the different type ,of sports. All the boys who earn a letter in a maionsport-age eligible for membership. Also formed in l929 wa3 l'he Jacket Club llater called the Pep Clubl formed to create pep at games. Just like today, they cooperated withgthe cheerleaders in maintaining pep at games, and assem- blies. Among our list of cheerleaders at DCHS from fl 932 and T945 were three boys Our Tiger mascot has become a tradition since T932 ' .ii Qi The Home Economics Department became affiliated with the National Home Economics Association in l93O, and a club with l9 charter members was formed that is much like our present FHA. During the war years differ- 5 5 ent groups were formed to help the cause. There was the ,L ri, at Girls' Home Mechanics Club, The First Aid Club, the Knit- ting Club lwho helped the adult knitting group in supply- ing the Red Cross and British Reliefl, the Surveying Club, the Maintenance Club, and the Aircraft Spotters Club lformed as part of a national defense programl. School ph otog raphers l 960 Hobby clubs included such areas as photography, radio communication, electrical construction, airplanes and air- craft procedures, crafts, ground observation, and in T964 the formation of the Industrial Arts Club. Radio Club won first place in a national contest sponsored by Ohio State University in l945. Girls' Reserves ll 93Ol promoted cleaner and better lives among the girls. GAA ll 932l included such activities as golf, tennis, basketball, softball, hikes, soccer, stunts, bicycle riding, field hockey and bombardment. Other active groups were tumbling class, stunt club, and square dancing. Leaders' Club was organized in l944. I l : .. IQ1-.BAND The first orchestra in l932 T932 was a big year for our school. Minds and typewriters started clicking to put together our first El Tigre. In the spring, a tradition was started that will be hard to stop - football. The first Honor Society, under the supervi- sion of Mr, Faulkner and Mr. Frank Kipfer, was begun. Its first officers were: Edward Rose, President, Myrtle Kott- kamp, Vice President, and Riley Smith, Secretary-Treasurer. Our news staff started writing a section for the Dupo Herald Tribune concerning the high school newspaper, the D.C,H.S. Echo. T933 brought the election of our first Student Council. In those days, each member was elected for one semester only. By T958 the members were elect- ed from second hour class and had a term of one semester and stayed in office until seniors. Activities in Penmanship Club, Stage Craft, National Forensic League, Discussion Club, Readers Club, Drama Club, Speech and Debate Clubs, Art Club, Expression Club, Public speaking club, spelling club, and the classics club kept those busy who were interested in literature, writing, and the arts. The 6O's brought many of the present clubs into our roster. Mu Alpha Theta accepted the Dupo Math Club as a charter member. Today Mu Alpha Theta is composed of juniors and seniors who have had one year of algebra and one year of geometry and are enrolled in either advanced algebra or trigonometry. F.N.C. formed in T963 has received the Youth Group Achievement Award from the Parents' Magazine for the past three years. Composed of girls interested in nursing, F.N.C. members do a lot of hospital work and many are candy stripers. French Club, Future Teachers, and Biology Club were also organized then and are active today. F.T.A. members tutor younger children and teach classes at local grade schools and in the iunior high. Biology Club was recently reorganized in T968 under the supervision of Mrs. Hoepfinger. This group is a modern-day version of the former clubs like Nature Study, Science, and Crystal Clubs. Looking back over the past fifty years and all the activities Dupo has seen, it is obvious that the students graduat- ing back in T9T 9 are basically the some as those who will be graduating in T 969. Their interests and achievements were brought to the surface through the activities made available to them. Those fun-filled hours and days will soon melt into pleasant memories when in fifty more years, we the fiftieth graduating class of D.C.H.S., look back. f N NS? -2 FHA officers work on prize-winning yearbook under the sponsorship of Mrs. Frazier and Mrs. Best. From Oilers Through The years the Tigers have come to be a formidable opponent for all the teams in The area. In each of The maior sports in which our Teams have participated They have won the conference championship aT least once, and earned numerous other awards. The first Dupo basketball team started playing in T924 at Hall's Hall, The second floor of a theater. The coach was R. K. Purl, the principal. The team at that time was called the Oilers In T933 our team won its third consecu- tive Cahokia Conference championship. Dupo continued to dominate the Cahokia Conference throughout the succeeding years until the Midwestern Conference was formed. The T950 teams 26 and 2 record was the best in the schools history. It won the District and Regional tourna- ments and advanced to the Sectional before losing. ln T956 Glenn Graff set a conference scoring record for a sin- gle game with a 75 point effort. He also set 3 records and tied another at the E. St. Louis Holiday Tournament. The highest season scoring record goes to the T966 team for netting T969 points. Llp tothe present the Tigers have won almost twice as many games as their opponents. Our first football team took the field in T932. Although it lost all but one game, that victory was over Belleville, a local power. Since then we have won several championships. The most notable was in T958 when we won eight games and lost only one. In T957 Bill White broke a school record by gaining T66 yards in one game. The some year he was elected to the All-Southern Illinois team and the District All-Star team. This is the first Dupo basketball team, named the Oilers They are: Harold Fischer, George Drury, Felix Ship, Joerda Melton, Erwin Dyroff, Donald Bucklin, James Hukshold, Russell Petitte, and the coach, Mr. R. K. Purl. to Tigers Nineteen thirty-one produced two championship teams: one in baseball and one in track. Nineteen thirty-three also turned out two champion teams, this time one in basketball and one in tennis. In I957 the Cross Country team won the Troy Invitational and the Dupo Invitational meets and won the Mid- western Conference title. In I958 Allen Williams ran a 2-mile cross-country course in a time of lO:O2.9, breaking school and Dupo Invitational records. But in l966 Chuck Rice set a conference record of 9:45. In I967 Chuck bet- tered his time to 9:l7 and went to the state meet where he finished 35th in a field of 350. Our first conference championship in track came in l93I. In I958 the track squad won 6 out of 7 meets. In I959 Allen Williams broke school and conference records in the half mile and qualified for the state track meet. In I967 Chuck Rice set a record in the 880 by running it in 21OO.7. Bill DePriest set a record in the low hurdles with a time of 20.7 seconds.

Nm Mathematics today is vitally important to scientists, engineers, other specialists, who use mathematics in their work, as well as to the intelligent laymen in everyday lite. It is necessary that mathematical education is kept vital and up-to-date. Geometry affords practice in developing the habit ot establishing correct conclusions from accepted statements. lt provides op- portunities tor original and creative think- ing and develops an understanding ot the process ot deductive reasoning in mathe- matical and non-mathematical situations. To Prepare for Future V, Addison and R. U The applications ot Trigonometry point up the need ot mathematics in various trades and professions. lt is necessary tor anyone who wishes to make an extensive study ot mechanics, heat, light, sound, or electricity. Elementary analysis is a pre-calculus course in which studies are made ot the ele- mentary tunctions based on examination ot the properties ot number systems. Concepts ot logic are studied and their use in mathe- matics is stressed. hrhan are explaining probability to the class. R. Zimmerman is explaining an equation tor trigonometric functions to J.

First year students are introduced to sheet metal, welding, metallurgy, heat treatment, and torging ot metals, Industrial Arts courses are designed to give boys the necessary skill and exe perience needed for lite in todays mechanized world. Included in this cur- riculum are mechanical dravving, wood and metal shops, leather cratt, electric- ity, and printing. ln printing class, Roger Swanner is selecting and setting up type. Physical Fitness - Goal of P.E. Under Mrs. Wilsons supervision, Maxine Strauther and Toni York prepare to bully . Waiting for the game to start are Janet Upchurch, Jeannie Metz, and Lynn Fluchel. Through all their four years in high school, stu- dents are required to take physical education, but no one has to be forced to goto gym. To students, P.E. offers an enioyable break in the daily classroom rou- tine, along with exercise. Through the daily activi- ties, students develop stamina and co-ordination as well as good sportsmanship. Mr. Brubaker and Mr. Neeman supervise the boys in playing games like football, soccer, volleyball, softball, and basketball. Mrs. Wilson guides the girls through field hockey, basketball, softball, volleyball, and gymnastics. In Mr. Neemans gym class, Jerry Brown demonstrates how to head a soccer ball. 64 New Librarian - New Driver Ed. Car xii Mr. Brubaker demonstrates to Terry Paige and Judy Price the laws governing intersections. We started oft this year with a new librarian in that big old room on the top floor. Mrs. Moore took over a big iob keeping all those books in place, but she has experience from another school. During the summer some new books came in, so the walls are starting to bulge. Next year a new law stating that a person has to have driver education to get his driver's license at l 6 will go into ettect. As a result, Mr. Brubaker's job as driver education instructor becomes even more im- portant. In addition to driving experience, the stu- dents learn state laws and the handling and mainte- nance ot a car. Once a year, all the sophomores at- tend a demonstration of reaction time and stopping distance. Mrs. Moore helps Roger Bieber find a book in the library School Board Strives to Provide Quality Education for All Students During Dupo High School's fifty years ot existence, titty-one citizens ot its district have volunteered their time and effort to the advancement ot the school. It is to these outstanding men along with the two superintendents and twelve principals that we owe praise For securing and maintaining a fully accredited school. In l923 DCHS received tull accreditation trom the State of Illinois and has maintained this high standard ever since. ln l928 DCHS was recognized as a member ot the North Central Association ot Colleges and Secondary Schools. In 1967 DCHS carried outa thorough evaluation of all aspects of our school's program and again met the re- quired standard tor membership.

SEATED: left to right: Thomas Pulcherg Adam Mernick, Jr.g Al Ferryg Melvin Bush, David Korn, Scotty Marlena William Harris, The School Board of District l 96 is a very busy organization which is constantly striving to provide a quali- ty education for the students and to prepare them for a successful life. The District's promotional policies were revised placing more value on a pupil's daily work and teacher iudgment and less emphasis on exam scores and standardized tests. Exams and standardized tests will still be used but for diagnostic purposes rather than class grades. In T968-69 the district took part in an Immunization Program. This program was planned to help the young people of the district meet a new state law requiring immunizations. Over 2800 immunizations were given without cost to the pupils in the program. This program was set up through the cooperation of the local doctors and Illinois Department of Public Health. A When a school district has 32 or more of its enrollment who are children of federal employees the district can apply for Federal Impacted Area Funds. This is the first year that this district has had enough eligible pupils to take part in this program. This could mean federal funds of about S140 for each eligible child. Under the gifted child program a district may establish a special program for no more than 5'Zs of the en- rollment. The program must be in an area of special talent or skill. At Dupo we feel that one of the best areas for such a program is art. The school hopes to start this program September, l969. Last year the school district made a year long study of the English program in order to update and coordi- nate the total English program. This year the district is conducting the same kind of study in the field of math- ematics. lt is our hope that this will make the subiect more meaningful and the total mathematical program more useful to our students. We recognize and appreciate their efforts in bettering both our school district and D.C.H.S. The Student Body Wishes Our New Nefe i i 11l t , ... Fmt ff M s . ., CNR-' firm rf MR.

MR. AL FISCHER School Specialists When an accident occurs, a student turns to Mrs. Struckmeyer tor medical assistance. This year, in cooperation with the Illinois Depart- ment ot Public Work, School District 196 planned an immunization program tor all pupils ot the district. Mrs. Struclcmeyer is a registered nurse and a school nurse. She is also a Certified Visuometric Technician with the State ot Illinois Department of Public Health. She received her training under Dr. John O'Neill at the University ot Illinois at Cham- paign. .i.. -we xp '-,X lei' N Mrs. Struckmeyer, the school nurse displays some ot the first-aid equip- ment. 4 Mrs. Laurent is explaining the importance of correct tongue placement for the er sound to Marlene Krause and the s sound to Gail Harvell. 96 Once the student can make the correct sound by himself, he then practices the sound in the'beginning, middle, and end ot words. Once this is mastered, the speech students work on sentences, followed by oral speeches to the rest of the group. Students needing help in other phases ot speech therapy, such as stuttering, clett pal- ate, and hearing therapy, are also included in the speech program. At the present, 80 students ot District 196 are enrolled in speech therapy sessions. Underclassmen Class of l958, Sophomore Class Officers: Mrs. Wohlwend, sponsor, Dan Bradshaw, President, Bill White, Vice President, David Dyroff, Secretary, and Bob Fritts, Treasurer. During a student's stay in high school, his years as an underclassman are the most productive and vital ones. In these years, he works to attain greater knowledge and enioys earning money for his class. The money earned is used throughout their high school years to pay for parties, their first two years, the prom, their iunior year, the yearbook, their senior year, and homecoming floats, all four years. 'ish Underclassmen help to fill the junior coffers during football games. The underclassmen of DCHS make valua- ble contributions to the organizations, classes and school spirit of our school. They were especially active this year in the home- coming activities. --. ' .wi Lf r rs . rr ,I fs. --fk. sau f - .rw L. Adams B. Baize Juniors Sell Refreshmenfs . Z er L fm 1 . Vw. . Y '47 X I V.

Cheerleaders Symbolic of CAROLYN WEBER JANICE THRASHER KAY MCKINNEY lcaptainl lco-captainl FAITH SEQUIN SUSIE MOSBACHER ELLEN STANGER An essential part of almost every athletic event is the cheerleaders. As one walks into the gym, the chant of the Big Apple is no longer heard. Cheers such as Varsity Go and Movin' Groovinm have taken its place. Even though the style has changed, the job ofthe cheerleaders is still to encourage and practice good sportsmanship and to keep the students' spirit high. This year's varsity cheerleaders attended camp at Illinois State University, where they received several awards including the spirit stick which is awarded to cheerleading squads with the most spirit. Both squads abide by their traditional constitution and must maintain a HC average in their academic subjects. l spirit Qi DCHS l i JR.

The l968 Varsity football season gave Dupo one of the finest records in ten years. Twenty of our best players, under the coaching of Paul Stewart, led the Tigers to win 7 out of 9 games. The two team captains, Dennis Mernick and Wade Teeter, and this year's most valuable player, Paul Weber, were all outstanding. The students and townspeople alike were enthusiastic supporters of the fighting Tigers. I32 CO-CAPTAINS: Dennis Mernick and Wade Teeter 68 Jun or Varsty th Coach Wuerffel.
