Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1981 volume:

¥ 10 - 1981 TIGRE In Years Gone By . . . In 1951 William E. Reynolds graduated from Dupo High School. After college and a stint in the Air Force he returned to Dupo and by 1961 was teaching Industrial Arts and junior high science. He continued to teach in 1971 and had become junior high principal. Mr. Reynolds, now in 1981, is principal of D.C.H.S. 1951 was also the year in which Patrick Mudd graduated from Dupo High. He began teaching at D.C.H.S. immediately after college. He taught history until he became Superintendent of District 196 in the late 1960’s. These two men have many years invested in the development of Dupo High. Dupo Community High School was begun in 1915. The entire enrollment at this time consisted of only fourteen students. In 1931 Dupo High School received the All-Conference trophies in football, baseball, and track. The enrollment was a whopping 200 students. The year 1941 brought with it a bond and building issue to have a new gymnasium added on to the school. By popular demand of the students, the first Coca-cola machine was installed through the efforts of Student Council. In 1951 the fun-loving, fiscally responsible Patrick Mudd, and the sweet, adorable William Reynolds graduated from D.C.H.S. Mr. Reynolds was class vice-president and was known as the “blushing, blue-eyed blond.” Mr. Mudd was quoted, “He was ready, willing, and able ... when it came to football.” Twenty-one teachers, and a mind-boggling four hundred students composed Dupo High School in the year 1961. That same year brought the addition of the Junior High building. In 1971 beautiful shrubbery graced the high school campus, and mini-skirts were the trend in the hallways. Kim Kelly, who presently teaches at D.C.H.S., was a member of the freshman math team. Mike Ferry was named a National Merit Scholarship winner. The enrollment in 1981 is 454. Dupo High was visited by the North Central Evaluation Team who agreed that for the age of the school it is in excellent condition. Sports saw the addition of new lights for the football field and a new synthetic track. Nobody will ever forget the musical, “The Sound of Music,” which was said to be one of the best ever. 2 The main building of Dupo Community High School was completed in 1929. In 1941 came a bond and building issue for a new gymnasium. The gym was built with many modem features. In a few years the vocational building was added on to the school. It housed the business, art, home economics, and industrial arts departments. Finally in 1961, the Junior High School building was completed. D.C.H.S. has been kept atractive and in fine conditions many years. 3 Seniors Remember. . important things that happened during their four years at DCHS. The most embarrassing thing was .. . when the physics class went for a swim — via me. — Dee Vanover having to wear the diaper in the skit my senior year. — Randy Bolle walking into U.S. History with my pants unzipped. — Lori Hunt getting my gym shorts pulled down in front of Ms. Raker. — Scott McCracken The funniest thing was... the “hairfight” in physics which got Mr. Kinder wet; the water ran down his little, pink nose. — Chris Stanfxll when Lori Hug and I crawled out of the bathroom window by Ms. Solomon’s room, ran down to her window, acted as if we were hanging on the ledge, and yelled for help. Boy was she mad! — Laura Arnold fdling Jim Watkins trumpet with hair conditioner. — Tim Haven The worst thing was ... being a freshman. — Harold Babcock our senior skit finishing second when it deserved first place. — Beverly Fuller Crutches seemed part of a current fad around school. 1.

These courses help the students specialize in in Mock United Nations debates, job preparation. David Hardin and Jon Doolin are working steadily on the El Tigre yearbook in activity class. 7 Community Representation School board members are the voice of the community. Each member is elected for a 3 year term. Many board members serve for several terms, on a volunteer, often time-consuming, basis. They perform an important service, for they represent all registered voters, whether they have children in school or not. When critical issues arise, it is not unusual for a board member to sacrifice income, family life, and leisure time to fulfill his or her commitment to education. The board members determine school policies and philosophy. They make the final decisions on everything from the price of school lunches to faculty salaries. Sometimes the issues they are called on to resolve are difficult, expelling a student or firing a teacher, but the board members soon learn it’s all a part of the job.

Entered into the parade were vehicles decorated by organizations, clubs, and activities. Devoted Tiger fans such as majorettes, cheerleaders, band members, and clowns marched the entire length of the parade. Each class built a float for the parade and competed for the Homecoming Trophy. The senior class of 1981 received first place. 19 Time To Build And Burn Chris shouts with excitement in competition for the Loudmouth Award. 20 ’Where is the hammer? Jonathon, Terry, and Suzy pomp the float to its bright colors. Matt takes a rest before finishing the float. Theme week began with top ’em day, each class wearing their own style of hat. That afternoon the Seniors came face to face with the Juniors in the annual Powder Puff game. Tuesday, dress up day, the students dressed in their best threads in honor of the Tigers. Work began on the class floats that afternoon. Wednesday was pop ’em day. Suckers were sold and a prize of fifteen dollars went to the Freshman class for sucking the most suckers. After working on the floats, tennis shoes, penny loafers, and suedes made their way to a pile of wood on the baseball field for the bonfire. The big mouth award was given to the Junior class. Thursday was shoot ’em down day, students dressing in western duds. Craig Hood was the talk of the school passing as Clint Eastwood’s twin. Friday was spirit day with every body dressing in maroon and white. After the assembly everyone rushed out to finish the floats for the parade. Jeff Dossett thinks deeply about plans for his float. 21 Time To Act Crazy An air of excitement hung suspended over the school during Homecoming week until finally it burst into chanting and cheering, instigated by the flashing blue light of the Homecoming Assembly. The spirit of the assembly was altered long enough for band performances, cheerleading routines, and skits. The skits varied from the Blues Brothers and Cheech and Chong by the seniors, the Love Boat crew of the juniors, Snorky attacks during the sophomore skit, to Charlie the Tuna of the freshman class. 23 A strategic thought comes to Dennis. Tim coaches the seniors to victory. Seniors attack a junior running back. Seniors movin’ on. Mitzi passes the ball to a fellow junior. 24 Powder Puff Coaches shouted final orders from the bench as the shrill whistle put the 1980 Powder Puff game into motion. The girls of both junior and senior teams took to the field with enthusiasm while complicated plays rattled in their brains. After the first quarter of action, the girls pretty well had their offenses and defenses coordinated enough to get the job done. The hard fought game resulted in a senior victory of 14-0, and proved to be one of the best in years. The threat of Powder Puff cancellation made the students more determined to make a success of the game when permission was granted. The game provided for an exciting fun-filled afternoon.

Entertainment by “Main Thrust” was especially appreciated since Dupo’s own Bill Barnett played in the band. Spirits were high, but not too high, since a “breathalizer machine” was available to test for alcoholic beverages and police officers were on duty and ready to prosecute. The climax of the evening was the coronation in which Miss Lori Bivins was crowned queen. The evening was enjoyable for everyone who attended.

The 1980 varsity football season proved to be a new experience for many of the players, now under the supervision of Head Coach Gary Mauser. Posting a 5-4 record, Dupo played well throughout the season, winning their opening game 34-6 over Chester. They then suffered two losses to Orchard Farm and Triad. They went on to defeat Central, Cairo, Columbia, and romped over Madison, 42-0. Their final two games were two tough losses to Freeburg and Assumption, the final game deciding the conference championship. With a year’s experience coaching at Dupo under his belt, the 1981 season looks promising for our new coach. Seniors Captains: Rick Doerr and Rudy Martinez.

Majorettes, cheerleaders, and band members built up the excitement as the fans anxiously awaited the arrival of the Dupo Tigers. As soon as both teams hit the field, the fans agreed it was worth the wait. The Tigers played the Cairo Riverboat Pilots in an exciting game. Dupo earned a well-deserved victory of 42 to 22, adding a big highlight to the homecoming week’s activities. 31 Sophomores Go Undefeated Once again the Dupo Tiger Sophomore football team won it all in conference play, ending the season with a perfect 7-0 record. The sophomore Tigers performed well under the command of Coach Richard Bright, shutting out Madison, Columbia, and Freeburg. The Tigers played the type of football that determines a winning season. Being undefeated in both their freshman and sophomore seasons, the Tigers may just be looking ahead to their junior year and going to state.

The 1980 Freshman football Tigers played well under Coach Don Gericke. Although the season had its ups and downs, they have proven themselves worthy of wearing “Maroon and White.” The young Tigers, who ended their season with four wins and two losses, had some bright moments, such as the game in which Dupo walloped Assumption, a school with an exceptional varsity team, by a score of 30-12. The Freshman football team of 1980 should stand proud and look forward to the 1981 Sophomore season.

Kim Kelly, first year coach of the Dupo Volleyball team, was “willing to learn” according to a team member. This “willingness to learn” must have been the key as the much improved Tigers bettered their dismal record of last year with six wins against sixteen losses this year. They finished with four wins and seven losses in conference play. In the district games, they won over Gibault in three games, only to lose to Wesclin in two games. Although their record did not reach the five-hundred mark, improvement this year was clearly shown. 34 Volleyball Team Much Improved BACK- Chris Stanfill, Kim Edwards, Kelly Yerby, Chris Wilson, Gina Tolbird, Dee Vanover, Edwards, Kim McClanahan, Julie Keys, Krista Jill Kelling Sloan, Coach Kim Kelly FRONT-Lisa Jines, Gayle The Junior Varsity volleyball team, although young and inexperienced, finished the season with a much improved record over last year. The players, who never gave up without a fight, bettered last year’s record of ten wins and ten losses. “The team was enthusiastic and eager to learn,” coach Kelly said. She also said that the team was quite pleasing to her, and, that the team will be better next year. 35 Seniors: Francis Olsson, Allen Bray, Rick Doerr, Clyde Satterfield, Tim Stanberry, Jim Hebei, Todd Stoner.

The shaky season was highlighted by winning efforts over Trico, New Athens, Valmeyer, and Welston. Entering the Dupo Tourney with a four and eight record, the Tigers went on to defeat St. Henry 78-51, then lost to Pattonville 72-66. In their final game, they topped Columbia 55-54 in the last second thriller. After finishing third in the Dupo Tourney, the Tigers then lost six games in succession before finally snapping the losing streak with victories over New Athens and St. Henry. They then lost to Venice 52-41 in the Columbia Regionals to end their season. 37 Junior Varsity Has Rough Season The young junior varsity basketball team, led by Coach Jim Harres, posted what some might call a disappointing season, landing a 3-15 record. “They were inexperienced,” said Coach Harres of his young team. He also said the team should be better next year. There were eight freshmen on this year’s JV team and only four upperclassmen. Based on this fact, the junior varsity team of 1981-82 should be much more experienced with those eight freshmen getting one year of basketball under their belts. So the season of 1980-81 could possibly be considered a rebuilding season for the JV. Back: Coach Harres, Robin Wilson, Vernon Ferry, Joe DeJarnette.

Front: Linda Dasch, Cathy Brooks. There is not much you can say about the girls junior varsity basketball team. Nothing but that they are the best JV team in the area. The team pulled off a remarkable feat this year by compiling a perfect 13-0 season. Besides some outstanding performances by Kim Edwards, Beth Doerr, and others, the team played breezing through most of their games and still coming out on top in some of the tougher ones, such as the Woodriver, Chester, and Madison games. With most of the team made up of freshmen, coach Jennifer Wiechert can start planning for next year’s team. 39 Varsity Girls Win First Trophy Ever!

The Dupo varsity girls, led by head coach Vicki Sheets, ended their season with the record of twelve wins and eleven losses. The team, which bettered their win record almost twice as much as last year, never gave up a loss without a fight. The girls were in two tournaments this year, getting to the semi-finals of consolation in the St. Paul Tourney, and getting a third place trophy in the Sparta tournament. This trophy was the first for the girls’ team, but we hope not the last. 41 The baseball Tigers roared into the season with five straight wins in non-conference games. However, when the conference play began the boys started experiencing difficulty with their hitting. The final record ended up with eight wins and eleven losses. They were defeated by Freeburg in the regional in a close game, 3-2. Coach Rehg, first year varsity coach, says he is anticipating a better season next year. The junior varsity players show a lot of promise and many of the varsity players will be returning with another year’s experience and maturity. He says, “If they can just get their hitting to equal their pitching and defensive play, they’ll have a very successful season.” Seniors Tony Bradshaw, Tim Stanberry, and Mike Bilzing.

The junior varsity Tigers began their baseball season with four consecutive losses. After determining the cause of these losses, Coach Jim Harres confronted the team. The problem seemed to be the attitude of the players which was steadily declining. Then, after evaluating the situation, Coach Harres attempted to form a unity between the players. After defeating Red Bud they suffered a loss to Wesclin. Then a reversal occurred. They won three games in a row. The team then lost to Columbia, but rebounded to beat Red Bud, 6-4. They finished the season with a 5-6 record. Quoting Coach Harres as to what his feelings were toward next year’s season he replied, “Hopeful.” Dupo’s track team finished their season fifth in the conference. Led by seniors Craig Hood and Scott Dopmeyer, and juniors Rick Johnson and J. D. Groves, the team ran wild setting school records in the 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 meter relays. The 400 meter relay team, whose members are Rick Johnson, Eric Hofstetter, Mike Jerashan, and J. D. Groves, finished thirteenth of 32 teams in class A competition, and second at district. Rick Johnson finished second at district in the 100 and 200 meter dash. Rick suffered an injured leg before the state competition and could not compete. The girls’ season was highlighted by shotputter Lori Hunt, who finished second in district and qualified for state. Ruth Leyerle was fourth in long jump and high jump in conference and set a school record in the high jump. The track girls named themselves the “nifty nine,” because they were few in number but were dedicated. They finished sixth in the conference meet.

The Juniors and their sponsors worked long, hard hours to make the dance a spectacular event. They built walls and a ceiling of dark blue strips and suspended large silver stars and moons. A giant crystal ball hung from the center of the room, reflecting sparkles of light across the dancers. 79 A Midweek In-school activities meet every Wednesday from 10:22 until 11:06. Each student chooses his or her own favorite class from the wide selection offered each semester. Not only do the activities provide an interesting change of pace, they are also very rewarding. 1. Chris Lewis designs posters to help build school spirit. 2. The arts and crafts activity class brings out the domestic side of Carla Johnson. 3. Jim Hebei signs his John Hancock on the activity class of his choice. 4. Kim Smitt and Melissa Schanuel take time out of their art typing activity to pose for their fans. 5. Bryan Chastain reserves his intelligence for backgammon.

The Model UN, operating with formal New York UN procedures, debates important world topics and crises. The six committees, General Assembly, Political, Security Council, Economic-Social Council, Social, Cultural, and Humanitarian council, and AdHoc, act on specific agenda topics, such as the Middle East, nuclear proliferation, famine, Iran, and so forth. Dupo students represented Zambia, Australia, Jordan, and South Africa with the ambassadors from South Africa to the General Assembly receiving the Most Effective Outstanding Speaker award. Students prepare year round by studying world problems and their relations to their newly adopted countries. At the conferences students then role-play ambassadors in crisis situations, discovering the knowledge, patience, frustration, and diplomacy necessary to solve world problems.

During recent years, the students have turned Student Council from merely an honor organization into a service organization to which it’s an honor to belong. Student Council provides leadership training for its members and activities for the whole student body. Our Student Council is a member of the Kaskas-kia District of Student Councils and the Illinois Association of Student Councils. Under district activities our council attended the Leadership Training Conference in October, the Consultant Workshop in March, and they took on the extensive responsibility of hosting the district convention in April. Becky Branson served as the KDSC Convention Secretary and Beverly Fuller held the office of recording secretary. Under state activities, Student Council attends the IASC Convention in May, held in Chicago. Several members are elected by the local council to serve as delegates. This years elected delegates were Leslie Cort, Kelly Edwards, Lynne Poettgen, and Kelly Williams. Some activities sponsored by the Council during the year were: 1980 Homecoming, a Christmas dance, and assembly, the Snowball Dance, Val-o-Grams, calendar and pizza sales, a co-rec, power-play assembly, student exchange with area schools, and class elections. Student Council means much hard work for its sponsors, Mr. Thomas and Mrs. McDannold, and all its members but as anyone can see by its success, the work is certainly worth it! 90 David McFarland makes a terrific sugarplum. Instead of chimney-climbing St. Nick, it was Mark Stott getting covered with ashes and soot. At the Christmas assembly, Angie Chartrand, Ginger Crook, and Carol Stanberry showed the only ability they have: clowning around.

The 1981 El Tigre staff began working last summer when 3 members and the adviser went to a«vorkshop held at Quincy College. Brenda Bush, Beverly Fuller, and Linda Zaricor spent June 29 to July 1 learning all they could. Brenda was chosen the Most Spirited student in her group, and won a Star Student Award, a meritorious award for a copy contest, and an honorable mention for her layout design. Soon after school started, 25 members of the staff went to an all-day workshop at UMSL, put on by the Sponsors of School Publications. Our co-editors and adviser served as chairmen of a session on faculty sections. Lori Hunt won an honorable mention for her cover design in the contest there. Beverly Fuller pours over old yearbooks to get new ideas. The staff began the planning of each page in the first weeks of school. During the year students accumulate the pictures and copy necessary to fill all the pages. Most staff members put in 3 to 4 hours a week throughout the whole year. The staff meets for 2 hours on Monday nights, during activity period, and after school from 3 to 4 o’clock on Wednesdays. The members pride themselves on their layouts, copy, and most of all, meeting their deadlines. While suffering the frustrations of meeting the 1981 deadlines, the planning of the 1982 yearbook has already begun. Working on yearbook tends to build up a big appetite.

Penguins Visit Snowball 94 The 1981 Snowball was conducted differently from previous ones. This year the dance honored the girls basketball team as well as the boys basketball team, and entertainment was supplied by a disc jockey from the radio station KADI, instead of a live band. These changes definitely helped to create a new enthusiasm that added to the success of the evening. Several penguins took time out of their schedule to get on a Boeing 747 to attend the D.C.H.S. 1981 Snowball. They announced that they were more than willing to help out those with partners who would not dance..

The eighth grade team won most of their games and came home from the Blessed Sacrament Tournament with a loss in the semifinal game. Mr. Leonard said, “Basketball is a game for giants, and this year’s team proved that the size of heart can make up for a lack of physical height.” Mrs. Edwards sponsored her first cheerleading squads this year. The seventh and eighth grade cheerleaders practiced during activity period, after school three days a week, and on their own time. Standing: Kristen Marlen, Tracy Satterfield, and Chris Ruiz.

Vk tigers tigers TIGERS TIGERS JIGERS IGERS TIGERS, TIGERS TIGERS Highlights Of The Class Of '81 In 1977 the Class of ’81 became high school Freshmen. We knew that we were at the bottom of the totem pole, and realized that we had four long years to struggle through. The first thing that had to be taken care of was the financial situation. After selling leather bracelets we were ready to tackle our first Homecoming. Our class took third place in the over-all standings. That wasn’t too bad! With our Sophomore year came Drivers Ed. Everybody was ready to get behind the wheel, and put the pedal to the metal, however, Mr. Cox quickly put the brakes to that idea. We survived another Homecoming, and received third place in the standings. As Sophomores, we were on the second step to the top, and as a symbol of our progress we ordered class rings. One of the important parts of our Sophomore year was dissecting those little critters in Biology, and if you were really fortunate, you had it right before lunch. Our Junior year brought with it the toils of being upper classmen. Homecoming brought our first Powderpuff game, and we were VICTORIOUS! During Homecoming we placed in the skit, float, and tickets competition placing second in over-all standings. We worked hard all year long to raise money for the Prom, which was the highlight of the year. Our theme was “A Mirror of Elegance.” Everyone worked hard to make it a great ending to our Junior year. The 1980-81 school year finally arrived, and along with it came the realization that we were becoming adults with many responsibilities. We proved we could handle it by working our buns off during Homecoming. We placed first in float, first in ticket sales, and second in skit. We also won our second Powderpuff victory! All of the hard work paid off when the Class of “81” tied for first place. “Nerd Day” was observed by many of the Seniors, a few of whom didn’t have to dress up. On the Senior trip everyone had a blast! The buses were chock-full of food, clothes and people. The canoe trip down the river was exciting and wet. It wasn’t uncommon to see everyone who had wiped out thumbing for a ride. When we arrived at Pulltite Park, everyone “munched down”, and enjoyed a friendly game of water football. We’ll never forget our senior trip.
