Students who attend Beck receive hands on training in many different fields. Some of the courses offered are Accounting, Child Care, Office Procedures, Horticulture, Welding, and many others. Our school offers two sessions of Beck. The first session leaves school at 8:00 and returns at about 11:15. Second session students leave at 9:50 and return at 1:15. The students enrolled at Beck really like the program and feel that it is a break from regular school while still learning something.

Kristin Marlen tanks up for a long drive Debbie Daab gets ready to put the pedal to the metal. Shari and Todd look confident Even though Mr. Cox considers Driver Education to be a dangerous job. he has been teaching the course for 10 years. He is proud to say that there have been no serious accidents in those 10 years. At the present time, the State of Illinois requires a person sixteen years of age to pass a driver education course in order to receive a driver’s license. Students spend 30 hours in the classroom and 12 hours behind the wheel learning the fundamentals. In addition, they learn about defensive driving, attitudes, and cooperation with other drivers. Practical experience in checking the oil, changing a tire and filling the gas tank are also a part of the course. 10 Driver Education Guidance Department They’re Here To Help You Laverne Odum Guidance Secretary Mr Brillhart teaches student worker Stacey Furlow how to use the department’s computer. A student counselor is someone who is specially trained to encourage students to make choices that wili improve the quality of their future. He helps students to understand themselves better, and provides information about jobs, careers, colleges, and vocational schools. In the spring, our counselors are responsible for registering students for the following school year. It is a major task for them to avoid conflicts in scheduling while pleasing everyone at the same time. The counselors can also help with family problems or any kind of question you may have. These advisers are here to help you. Take advantage of their experience while you can.

Chris Ragsdale works as a ‘’bagman at Kroger. “Earn As You Learn” School might be more appealing to some if all courses were set up the same as Co-Op an “earn as you learn” situation where students have real jobs and earn real money. In Co-Operaion with area businesses, classroom instructor Don Gericke seeks job openings for his students; and, refers students to employers who have called the school in need of applicants. The in school portion of the course requires students to attend class one hour per day. One credit is earned for classroom attendance, plus an additional two hours for working. In the classroom, prospective employees learn how to fill out a job application, how to get through an interview and be hired, plus many other aspects of finding a job suited to each individual. Students are free to work in the afternoon unless they must stay at school to take classes required for graduation. If a student loses his job because he quits or is fired, the student automatically loses the credits for working. Approximately 25% of the students remain working at their job at the end of the term. Most go on to use their experience to find better paying jobs. Mr. Gericke has taught this course from the beginning of its addition to the curriculum. Rose You deserve a break today Hebei. Darrell Taylor found his job close to home. 16 CoOp Dawn Bradley Bryan Brewer Vicki Brewer Mary Brooks Yvonne Brooks Tony Bruce Karen Bucher Stacy Bumgarner Bryan Chastain Todd Clasquln Leslie Cort Connie Crippen 18 Seniors Ken Cunningham Suzy Dahlhelmer Fred Davenport Matt DeJarnette Kent Dell Bill Diuguld Jonathan Doolin Jeff Dossett Richard Durham Darrin Dutton Mark Dyroff Wayne Easton Seniors 19 Class Of ’83 Most Talented: Randi Ingram and Robin Wilson k Most Talkative: Lynne Poettgen and Jeff Dossett.

Dedication We, the class of 1983, would like to dedicate this issue of the El Tigre to Mr. Richard Bright (pictured at left). He has been our class sponsor these past four years. He has shown much dedication by working very hard for our class. He is one of those unique people who, through sun, rain, sleet, or snow, is always there to get the job done or help out. Mr. Bright led us to win the overall Homecoming trophy both our Junior and Senior years. We also feel he has set an excellent example for us on how to be a successful adult by his hard work, dedication, and his responsible way of handling a difficult situation. We feel that you, Mr. Bright, have made us into the best class that has ever graduated from Dupo High. We, the Class of ’83, thank you very much for all you have done. 28 Seniors We Are Proud Sen� or$ 29 Terri Stovall Terry Thomas Tim Thomas Scott Tilley Gary Turner Kendall Vanover Stanley Whitaker Dana Wllkerson Helen Williams Kelly Williams Robin Wilson Mary Wuerffel 30 Scniors Pam Yuengel Linda Zaricor Seniors Not Pictured John Darnell Jeff Ford Judith Kangas Tim Lewis Robert Link Donna Paz Brad Stein Greg Stein Darrell Taylor James Toppings Roy Toppings From beginning . . .

Wardrobe by J.C. Penney. Too pooped to party. Babler State Park Arnold Drive gang and friends. Mrs. Lindner and Ms. Sheets soaking up some rays. The Senior Class of 1983 chose to go to Babler State Park in St. Charles, Missouri for their senior trip. They loaded the buses in the circle at 7:00 and left by 7:15 for a day full of fun. Once they arrived, everyone unpacked and settled in at a picnic table, and then left to explore the grounds. Around 1:00, they played a game of soft-ball. Then came more games — the 3-legged race, water balloon throwing, egg tossing and sack races. After supper at 4:00, the day ended with a talent show, class prophecies and class wills.

Enter the graduating Class of 1983 led by sophomores Colin McClenahan and Lisa Kish. The girls are carrying a white silk rose; the boys are wearing a boutonniere of the same. The last senior to enter is followed by Alice Vance and Kim Betz. With everyone at their seat. Pastor Robert Kennedy begins the program by giving the invocation. Graduation exercises were officially underway. Class President Kelly Edward’s welcome to the audience was followed by two selections from the band. It was then Mr. Bright’s turn to congratulate the class and present awards to four of its members. Leslie Cort and Lynne Poettgen received Service Awards; Kelly Edwards and Eric Hofstetter were given awards for their outstanding achievemnts in athletics during their four years of high school. No rest for Kelly Edwards during this program. She took the stage again, this time to give her Valedictorian’s speech. She was followed by Salu- tatorian Kelly Williams, who also had prepared a speech. Superintendent Patrick Mudd was next with his congratulations to the class. He commented that this was a night when “ parents are happy and in some cases relieved.” Mr. Reynolds then presented the Class of 1983 and commended them on their fine progress and pulling together as a class over the four years. After music selections by class members Terri Stovall, Vicki Brewer, and Mary Wuerffel, Mr. Clyde Satterfield, President of the Board of Education, rose to congratulate the class and begin the conferring of diplomas. One by one, the graduates were called to receive their diploma. After the last diplomas had been conferred, Pastor Kennedy gave a short benediction. Then, acting as Class President for the last time, Kelly Edwards appeared before the class. On cue from Kelly, the graduates moved their tassels from left to right then threw their caps into the air. The ceremony now finalized, the class marched out, again to the tune of “Pomp and Circumstance.” 9:30 p.m.: “It’s over!” “What a relief!” “Let’s get out of here.” Four years of pulling together ended here tonight for the Class of 1983. Congratulations from Mr. Reynolds. 38 Seniors Graduation, May 27 Some are ready early. Some need help getting ready. Gene Stark takes charge of the mirror. Am 1 late?

The majority head for the cafeteria, while small groups of others go to “Snaps,” Dairyland, or to one of the local markets in search of so-called “junk food.” Still others line up at the candy machine for a 30c paper wrapped lunch. When asked the question, “Where do you eat lunch and why do you eat there?,” here are some of the responses we received. “In the cafeteria, because my mom makes me.” “The cafeteria because they usually have good food.” “At home, so I can sleep for awhile.” “I get chips in the lunchroom and I eat in the gameroom.” “Snaps, their snacks are fit for a king.” Eighth Graders Not Pictured John Bright Rick Massie Jeff Price Edna Youngman Lisa Wilson Deana Zdroj Dan Howell, Morgan Massie. and Marc Godare don’t always take school too seriously.

Watts!!!! 66 Eighth Grade On Again On May 10, the 8th. grade class made their annual trip to Springfield and New Salem. They were joined by several teachers and many untiring parents. The day started at the Lincoln’s Visitor Center and progressed with a tour of Lincoln’s home. After lunch on the grounds of the State Capitol, students were given a guided tour of the Capitol Building. They then walked to the Illinois State Museum where students viewed the exhibits at will. The Governor’s Mansion was the next stop on the tour. Here, the class was conducted through the public areas of the Governor’s home. After a 30 minute bus ride to New Salem, students and chaperones wandered through the park for close to an hour. The day ended with a “peaceful” dinner at Pizza Hut before the inevitable return to Dupo. Students ate lunch on the Capitol’s grounds before going inside for a guided tour. Museums are boring! Students were on their own at New Salem. Come on! You know which Are we home yet? one’s the horse.

The team won 15 of their 25 games for an average of .600. One of these wins was a 58-57 victory in a doable overtime thriller against St. Mary’s of Belleville. Tri-captains for the team were Mark Gean, Dan Howell, and Scott Tieman. All Tournament Honors were awarded to Mark Gean and Scott Tieman at St. James, Mill-stadt. Scott won the same honor at SS Peter Paul, Waterloo, while Dan Howell was voted MVP. Congratulations Coach and to our future varsity players. Seventh Grade The 1982-1983 Seventh Grade season was impressive in spite of their 6-10 losing record. This team gathered more wins than last year’s seventh grade. Derek Tieman and Joe Brown were surprising members of the team, especially as 6th. graders. A late starter, Paul Morris, was a welcome addition and strengthened the team. This squad comes from the smallest seventh grade class to enter the Junior High in many years. 74 Jr. High Sports Eighth Grade Basketball Team Back row: Deanna Gean, Scott Tieman. Mark Gean.

Although unable to accomplish this goal, they did finish with a 6 and 3 record, which proved to many that the Dupo Tigers were still a team to be reckoned with. The Tigers began their season on a winning note coached by Gary Mauser, assisted by John Brillhart. The varsity squad won their first two games impressively with victories over Orchard Farm and Columbia. Their first game was a 34-14 rout over a decent Orchard Farm club. After coming off this win, the Tigers were faced with the tough task of defending their home turf in Dupo’s annual Homecoming game. The game, which began on a Friday night under partly cloudy skies, was quickly postponed just before the 3rd. quarter due to the heavy rainfall that soaked the field. The weather shortened game found Dupo with a 7-0 lead after two quarters of play. The Tigers and the Columbia Eagles met the next evening to finish the game. Dupo played well and shut out the Eagles 7-0 in a finel defensive battle. Following these two wins, the Tigers faced a tough Triad team and lost that game 35-14. Their next game resulted in a loss to Central 12-7. Then the Tigers began to turn things around. They defeated Red Bud 25-6. They went on to play Assumption and lost that battle 27-14. Assumption ended their season as Quad-County Conference champions. After the loss to Assumption, Dupo, which held a 3 and 3 record up to that point, never gave up and ended the season by winning their last three games. They defeated Madison 41-6, Freeburg 8-7, and Pinckneyville 31-19 in the season finale. As far as individual honors, Eric Hofstetter, Tony Bruce, Jeff Harres, Scott Tilley, Kent Dell, and Jim Jarvis were all voted to the All-Conference team. Kent Dell finished second in the area in scoring and led the team in tackles and interceptions. Eric Hofstetter led the team in pass receiving. Scott Tilley was first in quarterback sacks and Matt DeJarnette led the Tigers in fumble recoveries. 80 Sports Jim Jarvis avoids the rush. 1982 Varsity Football Orchard Farm Won Columbia Won Triad Lost Central Lost Red Bud Won Assumption Lost Madison Won Freeburg Won Pinckneyville Won 34-14 7- 0 14-35 7- 12 25- 6 14-27 41-16 8- 7 31-19 Sports 81 Freshmen And Sophomore Teams Sophomore Football Back row: Jeff McClanahan, Gary Zilafro, Mike Hofstetter, Paul Hoock, Jeff Hudson, Todd Wallace, Bob Carroll, Tim York, Coach Richard Bright; Middle row: Scott Warren, Lloyd McDonald, David Thorne, Lee Mitchell, Jeff Snider, Harold Kunkel; Front row: James Hannah, Tony Thurston, Tim Appel, David Gean, Mark Stanberry, Colin McClenahan.

The Sophomore gridders entered the season fired up and proved their dominance in conference play. They began the season with a 14-0 shutout over Waterloo. Their second game found the young Tigers facing their arch rival-the Columbia Eagles. This game also ended on a winning note as the Tigers won handily 28-3. With two wins under their belt, Sophomore Coach Richard Bright kept the pressure on and the Tigers went on to defeat Central 12-6 and Red Bud 28-0. The following win over Assumption, 14-12, was probably the highlight of their fine season. Holding their perfect record, the Sophomore squad destroyed Madison 46-14 and ended their season with a 8-6 win over Freeburg. The young Freshmen Tigers played well throughout their five game season. Their first game found the Tigers facing a tough Triad team and they lost that game 12-0. The remaining four games proved to be a progressive turnaround for the Tigers as they went on to defeat Central in a 34-0 rout, Waterloo 22-12, Madison 14-6, and ended their season with an impressive victory over Freeburg 14-6. The Freshmen wound up their season with a 4-1 record which would indicate great promise in the upcoming years for Dupo football.

The varsity volleyball team finished their season with a record of 5-8, with help from their rookie coach, Linda Ragsdale. Like every other team, Dupo has its ups and downs. Some highlights of the season were beating arch rival Columbia twice and Gibault once. Columbia played at Dupo on September 2nd. This was only the Tiger’s second game of the season. Although both teams put up a tough fight, Dupo ran away with a win of 15 to 12 in the third game. Later, on September 23rd., Dupo played at Columbia. Dupo once again reigned as victors. Another high point in the season was defeating Gibault. Gibault was one of the best teams in the area. They were undefeated until Dupo ended their winning streak. Dupo edged the Hawks lb-14 in the final game. Due to injuries, at one time during the season the Tigers had only eight players instead of the regular eleven. Coach Ragsdale was pleased with how smooth the season progressed. The team would like to thank Kim Betz for keeping score and Gary Turner for always helping to manage the team.

The team had several players who will be very helpful next year Kendra Pratt, Ramona Sloan, Beth Keys, Laura Wood, and Susie Watts, all of whom played on the freshman team. Next year, since these girls are basically beyond the learning stage, they will be able to start perfecting their skills. Coach Ragsdale added, “There is still a lot of learning going on and they work hard.” Good luck next year Tigerettes!

The Tigers’ losses were to Trico 54-48, Freeburg 68-56, Gibault 70-43, Columbia 66-53, and Red Bud 51-42. The Tigers then found themselves facing New Athens in the Christmas tournament at Freeburg. Dupo lost the first game to New Athens 64-44 but rebounded in the second game to edge Bethalto 76-75. The Tigers were knocked out of the tournament by Red Bud 54-46. Next, the Tigers were beaten by New Athens 43-41, and Wesclin 73-44 in conference games. The Tigers then hosted the Dupo Round Robin Tournament. In their first game of the tournament they fought hard against Venice before losing 57-51. The varsity squad then played a tough Madison team and lost 87-47. The Tigers battled back in the third game and defeated Valmeyer 60-45. Dupo finished in 88 Sports third place. After the Dupo tournament, the Tigers began to pull together. After being beaten by Assumption 74-57, Dupo defeated St. Henry 55-48 and crushed Valmeyer 71-47. Next came losses in conference games to Marissa 56-39, Central 65-57, Lebanon 66-56, and Freeburg 68-63. Probably the most exciting game of the year was against archrival Columbia in which the Tigers won a hard fought game 66-65. Varsity finished their regular season play with a loss to Red Bud 57-45, and a victory over Waterloo 79-62. Dupo played in one regional game against a much taller Lovejoy team and were beaten 98-52. The varsity Tigers ended their season with an overall record of 7 wins and 18 losses, and 3 wins and 10 losses in conference play. Jeff Harres led the area in free throw percentage.

Three inside players, Kelly Edwards, Krista Sloan, and Kim Edwards were close in point average throughout the entire season. Senior Kelly Edwards had the highest field goal average of the team; and Juniors Krista Sloan and Kim Edwards managed to pull down most of the rebounds this year. Dupo’s Lady Tigers placed second in tournaments at Dupo and Sparta. They also placed second in the State Regionals. For the first time in the history of girls basketball at Dupo High School, varsity defeated Woodriver and Madison. Finally, Madison’s dominance over Dupo has ended. Dupo also triumphed over Wesclin after suffering a twenty point loss to them in an earlier game. Dupo's Senior Tiger, Kelly Edwards. 90 Sports Krista works hard to pull down the rebound.

Although the junior varsity team did not win any games this year, they came very close on several occasions. The JV team showed vast improvement in their abilities as individual players and as a team. “This season the team had good spirit and a never say die attitude,” says Coach Sheets. The freshmen girls on the team this year participated in most of the games. This early experience will pay off when they are juniors and seniors. Coach Sheets said that she was proud of their willingness in tough games. Coach Watters, Melissa Massie, Carrie Darnell.

This is true because this Dupo team was probably one of the best baseball teams Dupo has ever had. At the beginning of the season, the players hopes were high; nothing short of a Cahokia Conference championship would satisfy them. After defeating three non-conference foes, which included the large and mighty Althoff, the Tigers started their conference season. They finished their season with a conference record of 10-3, which was good enough to share a cochampionship in the Cahokiq Conference with Central. Dupo was seeded number one in the Freeburg Regional, a high honor for a team. After receiving a first round bye, they defeated Madison 10-0 in five innings. They then lost to Freeburg 5-4, however, to end their dreams of a regional championship. Their final record was 16-5. The varsity team had the great quality of high-spiritedness. Their constant chanting and wearing of “rally hats” will long be remembered; and so will their manager, Dan “Danno” Gargus, who sometimes kept the spirit alive. Seniors on the team included Todd Clasquin, Jon Doolin, Clinton Griffin, Dave Hardin, Jeff Harres, Scott Tilley, and Robin Wilson. The J.V. team finished their rain-shortened season with a record of 4-2-1.

The varsity softball team finished their regular season with a record of 11-7. As a team, the girls hit as well as expected. There were doubts about the team because they had a freshman pitcher, Ramona Sloan. Nevertheless, Ramona did an outstanding job of surprising everybody the coach, teammates, and even the spectators. After two players, Jenny Hobbs and Gina Tolbird, were transferred from the outfield to the infield, the team pulled together well. Mr. Gericke said, “I was disappointed in the team’s execution and they had too many errors, but overall they did not do too badly.” They placed fifth in the conference with a 7-6 record. 94 Sports Track Team Led By Seniors Back Row: Coach Stewart, Rich Peters.

The 1983 regular season record stood at 18-7. The track team had many senior leaders this year, Matt DeJarnette, Eric Hofstetter, Rich Peters, Bryan Chastain, Randall Prior, Fred Davenport, and Tony Bruce. Matt DeJarnette was a fine leader. He placed second in the pole vault event at the conference meet with a 12’ vault. In the district meet, Matt placed eighth with 12’6”. Eric Hofstetter was the team captain this year and was another of Dupo’s leaders. Eric participated on the sprinters relay team and did a tremendous job. Rich Peters gave an outstanding performance this year as a sprinter. Rich also led the 1983 team. Dupo finished sixth in the conference out of ten schools. In the district meet, the freshman and sophomore team won with 71 points, leaving the closest competitor trailing Dupo with 41 points. Jeff Hudson placed fifth, throwing the discus 121’. Coach Bright said, “Although the seniors this year were good leaders, the strength lies in our sophomores. Next year, we should be real strong.” Bob Jerashen and Jody Sronce head for the finish line.

Not pictured: Karen Bucher, Treasurer. During the year. Drama Club presented two plays “Grandma’s Best Years” and “Blithe Spirit.” Every year, Mrs. Evans and the students involved in the play work very hard for that first night of the play when the stage curtain opens. Many committees are formed to get every job done. One of these committees is publicity which is in charge of posters, tickets, and programs. Stage crew builds all the sets and other props for the play. Other committees include light, sound, and special effects crews which work on the technical aspects of presenting the play. On the night of a performance, crews are needed to sell tickets and refreshments, and ushers are there to hand out programs. Behind the scenes, helping the cast, are make-up, wardrobe, and prop crews. As you can see, it takes a lot of people, working hard together, to do a job well done. This is Mrs. Evans’ eighth successful year working with Drama Club and Thespian Society. Drama Club Top row: Randy Blakely, Mike Gummersheimer, David McFarland. Kevin Bush.

The K.D.S.C. convention held at Greenville College, hosted by Kinmundy-Alma High School, turned out to be a very successful day for Dupo this year. With a lot of support from Dupo and many other schools, Kelly Kujawa came home as the new vice-president of the Kaskaskia District of Student Councils. Not only did Kelly succeed, but also Karen Ferry, Kim Betz, and Kelly Stumpf. They won honors for their display on charity. Their project corner featured the Amy Lynn Hardin “Pie-In-The-Face-Contest” and our council’s visits to the New Hope Living and Learning Center in Waterloo. During the month of April, several Council members attended the annual Illinois Association of Student Councils Convention in Chicago. Troy Whaley, Kelly Edwards, Lynne Poett-gen, Kelly Williams, Leslie Cort, Kelly Kujawa and Kim McClanahan represented our school as Out-Of-Quota delegates. Along with these seven, four In-Quota delegates were chosen by the entire Student Council. Those selected were Karen Ferry, Patty Mallett, David McFarland and Becky Tilton. Student Council is sponsored by Mr. Thomas, who spends many extra hours throughout the year working with council events and projects. According to one Student Council member, “Dupo has a successful student council because we have Mr. Thomas.” Amen.

During that time students have represented us well in many tournaments in the area, as well as in Carbon-dale and even in the state tournament in 1982. Along with practicing for their tournament entries, students are assigned to read the daily bulletin every morning over the intercom. Even though it is one of the most difficult and time-consuming activities, they receive many rewards when they meet with the elite members of other participating schools.

In addition to football games, the pep band plays at all home basketball games. Add to this a couple of parades and assorted assemblies, including the annual Christmas assembly held on the last day before vacation. Also during December, the band joins forces with the chorus to present an evening Christmas concert open to the community. And still the band marches on. After Christmas, emphasis is placed on practicing for the County Music Festival held in the spring. Stage band warms up for the four or five programs scheduled for them, and preparation for the season finale begins. Graduation marks the end of another year of a job well done.

Freshman Team Scholar Quiz was a new activity at D.C.H.S. this year. The meets with area schools were modeled after quiz programs where the first person sounding a buzzer is allowed to answer a toss-up question. A correct toss-up answer entitles the 5-man team to a bonus question. The team accumulating the most points wins the match. The questions cover a wide range of subjects, including such areas as typing, agriculture, and nutrition. The degree of difficulty of each question is different for Freshmen, Junior Varsity and Varsity teams. We hope our school will continue to participate in this mental sport. For those few who were spectators, it was as exciting as some sporting events. They even had halftimes! Freshmen scholars at work!

The activity program that is offered to students at Dupo Senior High School is designed to give the student additional opportunities for socialization and exploration. These are two important functions for which a high school should make provisions in its curriculum. The scheduling of activities during the school day allows students to participate in activities without having conflicts with buses or other after school commitments. Time for this program is allotted during a scheduled period every Wednesday. Student registration is designed using the seniority system with grades twelve, eleven, ten, and nine signing up for activities in that order.

You’ll be able to see how “funny” everyone looked, including yourself. Your children will have a good laugh about your hair and clothing styles. It will help you to remember if someone is older or younger than you. and who your best buddies were. Most of all, it will bring back the memory of some of the best years of your life. Yearbook staff works hard to preserve all this for you. Yearbook Activity Si.df members meet during the activity period on Wednesday and in the evening at least once a week. Drama Club Presents . . . Special Events Special Events Special Events Special Events When Grandma Simms comes from the farm to visit her daughter, she finds a situation which is not to her liking. It seems that her daughter, Mrs. Abbott, has become a social climber since the death of her husband, and the three Abbott children and Sadie, the maid, are having a miserable time. The very day Gram arrives, Mrs. Abbott is bringing three upper-crust guests home for the weekend. One of them is rich and snobbish Edwin Carlson, who Mrs. Abbott insists, her daughter Joyce must marry, although she loves Jim Meyerson, a local telegraph operator. Another of her guests is Miss Quelch, an unlikeable spinster, who runs an exclusive girls’ school, to which Mrs. Abbott intends to send Marion, her fifteen year old daughter. Willie, the thirteen year old son, is also suffering, because his mother won’t allow him to do anything he wants, and insists that he practice on his violin so that she can impress people with her culture. Well, Gram is determined to put a stop to all this, and she comes up with the brilliant scheme of inviting the family blacksheep to Mrs. Abbott’s weekend party. She thinks this ought to sufficiently disgrace her social-climbing daughter and set things straight. This scheme doesn’t come off quite as planned because since she has never seen Cousin Oscar, the family blacksheep, Gram mistakes a criminal for her long lost relative and he, needing a hideout, accepts her invitation and brings his wife and daughter. Naturally, the weekend party is hardly what Mrs. Abbott had hoped for, but neither is it exactly what Gram wanted, for the criminal “relatives” find it necessary to get rough, causing plenty of exciting complications. But when Gram gets ahold of her trusty shotgun, she emerges the heroine of the situation. The police nab the long-sought gangsters, Mrs. Abbott begins to see the light, allowing her children to follow their true inclinations and Jim and Gram get handsome rewards. Gram (Diane Snellenberger), Mrs. Abbott (Dawn Zdroj) and Joyce (Tammy Miller) try to make the guests.

Drama Club Presents Special Events Special Events Special Events Special Events On April 30 and May 1, the Drama Club presented “Blithe Spirit,” a comedy by Noel Coward. The igenious plot tells how a novelist, Charles Condomine, invites into his placid country home an eccentric, breezy lady medium in order to learn the language of the occult for his new book. Little does Charles or his lovely second wife, Ruth, dream that the seance staged by the medium will summon back Charles’ first wife, now “passed over” for seven years. But the lady from beyond, still beautiful, still mischievous, appears — a wraith who torments Charles by reminding him of their days and nights together. Only Charles can see or hear her, which further complicates the situation for Charles. A floating vase, handed to her out of thin air, finally convinces Ruth that Charles is not losing his mind — that his first wife is indeed in the room. The first wife has a ghostly plot in mind: if she can get Charles into an automobile accident and make a ghost of him, life in the spirit world will have more appeal for her. Mistakes occur, however, and the results create a hilariously funny situation for all the characters.

The evening began with a buffet supper at 7:00, followed by dancing at 8:00 with radio station KY Radio disc jockeys Phillips Wall providing the music. The atmosphere in the softly lit dining room was quite different than the oh so familiar setting of the high school gym. The mood was indeed “magical.” Families and friends began arriving early, with cameras in hand, for the crowning ceremonies at 10:30. The evening came to an end at 11:00 after the crowning of the 1983 Prom Queen, Julie Rhoads. Retiring Queen, Mitzi Miller, and escort Clyde Setter-field.

Unusual won. What resulted was perhaps the most non-traditional prom in the history of Dupo High. Having the dance on a Friday night, at a location away from the school, met with skepticism from both junior and senior class members and their parents. Plans to serve a buffet dinner before the dance was unheard of until now. Proceeding with their “try it, you’ll like it” attitude, the juniors hired popular KY Radio disc jockeys Phillips Wall to replace the traditional live music. And what did everyone think when the “magic” came to an end? They tried it and overwhelmingly, they liked it! Class of ’84-they dared to be different. 126 Special Events And Fischer’s Restaurant Special Events Special Events Special Events Special Events Relax? No problem!

Special Events 127 Spring Arts Festival Special Events Special Events Special Events Special Events Art, Industrial Arts, Vocal Music, Band, Metalworking, Home Economics. “Saving the Best for Last” could have been the theme of this year’s Spring Arts Festival. Due to a decrease in state funding, it was necessary for three programs at Dupo High School to be cut a problem shared by many schools throughout the State of Illinois this year. Art, Home Economics and Vocal Music will not be in the curriculum next year. It is hoped that these courses will be reinstated at D.C.H.S. when Illinois’ economy allows an increase in spending for education. This year’s festival was exceptionally well-attended by students, parents and the community. The photos on this page give you an idea of the many student projects on display. In addition to performances by the chorus and band, Mrs. Edwards’ eighth grade home economics class presented a style show, with the girls modeling their own class project. Talent abounded throughout the gym on the evening of May 18. As the evening came to a close, so did an era of the arts at Dupo High School at least temporarily. Classes Compete At The Top R-I-N-G! The students rush out of their classes and run to the gym. It’s time for the annual Homecoming Assembly!! Our theme was “TV and TV Commercials.” The freshmen did their skit with a 50’s theme. The winning skit, done by the sophomores was about “M.A.S.H.”. “Rocky” was the junior theme and it won them second place. The senior skit was mainly centered around “Fantasy Island” but it also starred Tarzan, the Smurfs, and Laverne and Shirley. The skits were all enjoyable to watch. During the whole assembly when the students were given permission, they all yelled in honor of their classes hoping to win the spirit stick. Everyone yelled loud, but the seniors yelled most and won. The Homecoming Queen candidates were introduced to the student body. The band played a few selections to close the assembly. Another Homecoming assembly well done-CONGRATULATIONS!! What in the world?

Happenings 131 Scenes From Homecoming Week’s Homecoming week this year started on Monday, September 13, with Dress Up Day. Each student wore his best clothes in honor of our Fighting Tigers. Then after a long, hard day of grueling school work, float decoration began. Each class started working on their float hammering, pomping and whatever other duties they had. Tuesday was Hat Day. Each class wore their idea of the perfect hat. This was the day many girls liked as there was no need to fix your hair. After all, who could tell under a hat? Candy Day, an old favorite, was celebrated Wednesday. For some strange reason everyone goes to visit their family dentist after Homecoming week. Thursday was the newest of the Homecoming days TV Day. Since TV shows and commercials was this year’s theme, everyone dressed as their favorite TV heart throb. Many stars including Dolly Parton, Smurfs and Harpo Marx visited our school. That night at the bonfire, the classes tried to out yell each other for the Loudmouth Award. Finally the day everyone looks forward to came. Friday’s activities included Spirit Day, the assembly, parade and finally the Big Game. On Spirit Day students are encouraged to wear maroon and white to honor our school’s colors. After the day came to an end, everyone must agree it was a Homecoming never to forget. 132 Happenings TV Dress Up Day “. . . stars including Dolly Parton, Smurfs and Harpo Marx visited our school.

Happenings 133 Citizens Take A Break For The Clowns It was a time to put on your old, trusty, Dupo Tiger jacket and head out to the sidewalk. Grabbing their dogs and their favorite lawn chairs, many of Du-po’s residents set out to enjoy a fun filled homecoming parade, complete with a marching band, floats, fire trucks, and a clown or two. Before the parade, each class presented their float for judging. The sophomore class won the competition and received 25 points in the homecoming standings. The parade concluded where it had started, on the school parking lot in the rear. All floats were then towed around to the football field where they were displayed at the game that night. As usual, it was a high spirited homecoming parade. When it was over, the Dupo residents got up off their lawns, stretched out, and trudged back into their houses and back to their usual afternoon activities. 134 Happenings Senior officers. Steppin out. Rear View. This float won!? Juniors go to pot. Seniors are Wild and Crazy. Ring around the Tiger. Juniors cruzin for a victory. Confidence! I’m tired. Happenings 135 Annual Powder Puff Game Is A Close One _____________________________ Pretend you’re a Senior girl. There’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news is that the Junior girls scored only one touchdown during the annual Powder Puff football game held on Wednesday of Homecoming week. The bad news is that the Senior girls didn’t score any touchdowns. Final score was Juniors 6-Seniors 0. The annual event started with several off campus practices held at secret locations. No need to let the opposition learn each other’s game plan! Coaches for the teams were “real” football players and any other guy who volunteered. Imagine trying to teach 20 or 30 girls how to play football. Sort of like trying to teach 20 or 30 guys how to make cream puffs. An hour or so before gametime, the girls began arriving to “suit up.” The Seniors arrived wearing maroon T-shirts bearing such intimidating names as “Crusher Crippen,” “Kelly the Kid,” “Powerful Poettgen” and “Combat Cort.” The pregame scene in the opposing locker rooms ranged from complaints about ill-fitting helmets to loud, rowdy cheering. As gametime arrived, the girls came on to the field with all the confidence of the Dallas Cowboys. The game was played, the score was made and finally the game was over. Was it worth it? Is Dallas in Texas? 136 Happenings Happenings 137 Before we go out on the field, we take it off with Neet. Yuk! Gatorade tastes awful! Senior girls take flying lessons before game. Suzy, put your arms down. We don’t surrender until after the game. Homecoming Game Sets Record Football and homecoming . . . two words that go together at Dupo High. These two words mean victory most always. In the 1982 Homecoming game, the proud Tigers of Dupo played Columbia in what turned out to be a low scoring, twenty-four hour affair. The Tigers scored the game’s first and only touchdown early in the first half. Jim Jarvis hit Eric Hofstetter with a pass and Eric took it down the sidelines for the score. Halftime came and had nearly passed when, suddenly, an innocent little thundershower arrived as the band was playing their final selection. Simultaneously, screams were heard when the lights went out on the field. After a few moments, however, they realized it was just a simple power-outage and expected it to be corrected shortly. Their expectations became a reality, but little did they know their troubles were just beginning. In a matter of minutes, the entire crowd was drenched by that seemingly innocent thundershower. Ferns huddled in small groups under the dubious protection of the bleachers. Others headed for their cars, while still others headed for home. As the rain, wind and lightning increased in intensity, chances for the second half decreased. After several minutes of indecision, the officials decided to postpone the game until the following evening at 6:30. In the concluding half of the game, Dupo held off Columbia for the 7-0 victory. The rain caused problems for other Homecoming activities as well. The traditional Homecoming Queen candidates’ Corvette ride around the field went almost unnoticed as fans ran for shelter. The floats turned into great masses of wet crepe paper. Luckily, they had been judged beforehand. The Saturday night second half caused many students to be late for the dance scheduled to begin at 8:00. Most assuredly, the 1982 Homecoming game will be remembered as the game that lasted 24 hours, and, as a game that once again gave the Dupo Tigers bragging rights over the Columbia Eagles.

Student Council Presents Under the dance category this year, Student Council thought they would try something new. It was a new type of dance, held in a new type of place. The dance, held on November 12, was called “Music Mania.” The idea was to dress up accordingly to one’s favorite kind of music. The new place was the High School cafeteria. Even though there were some doubts about the setting, the dance was a big success. While everyone was either “punking out” or clapping and stomping to a good Country Western number, Kenny Hunt was deciding what would go on the turntable next as he was hired to be the DJ for the evening. Later on, when everyone had their feet in high gear, the warm up song for the dance contest was announced. Everybody grabbed a quick drink of soda and got back on the dance floor ready to boogie. The faculty judges roamed the floor as the real contest got underway. The contestants danced to four very fast songs and were ready to keel over when it was all over. Prizes were awarded to best dancers and best dressed couples and singles. The dance had a good turnout and was a lot of fun for everyone if you were dancing or just watching. 140 Happenings “Music Mania” Climax Of An After all the Homecoming hoopla, it was finally Saturday night and the Homecoming dance was next on the agenda. Attendance at the dance was excellent. The Senior class won the attendance prize and gained 25 points in the Homecoming standings. Before the night was over, the Seniors were crowned Homecoming Champions. The stage was decorated accordingly with the theme, Television and Television Commercials. Along all sides of the stage were decorative T.V. sets and brightly colored balloons. The backdrop was a giant paper T.V. screen, and the queen’s throne was appropriately a studio chair. Shari Young was crowned the 1982 Homecoming Queen by retiring Queen Randee Gunn. Shari was escorted by Eric Hofstetter. Entertainment for the dance was provided by the Jay Berry Band.
