Senior Will Odum plays for hit last homecoming game at Dupo High. The 1983 Homecoming football game was once again played against the Red Bud Musketeers. With Homecoming Week keeping everyone’s spirits high, the Varsity Tigers had no plans for ruining the excitement filled week. The Tigers came out of the locker room, ready to face the Musketeers, only to find a tunnel, formed by the great fans, stretching from the goalpost to the fifty yard line. The Tigers wasted no time and scored two touchdowns in the first quarter. Jim Hoge scored the first TD from three yards out; and Chris Cobb caught a 36 yard pass from Jim Jarvis for the second score of the game. At the end of the first quarter, the Tigers were leading 12-0. Second quarter action proved to be even better as the team racked up 15 more points. Hoge scored his second touchdown, with Mike Long catching the 2-point conversion pass from Jarvis. The scoring continued as Cobb caught another Jarvis pass for the last touchdown of the half. Colin McClenahan kicked the extra point, making the score at halftime, Dupo 27 and Red Bud 0. During the halftime resting period for the Tigers, winners of the float competition were announced. Freshmen won first place, Seniors placed second and Sophomores and Juniors got a pat on the back as each class deserved some credit for all the time and effort put forth on the floats. Also featured during halftime was the traditional presenting of the Homecoming Queen candidates and the retiring queen, as each girl circled the track, riding in the neatest car made available to her. When the halftime festivities ended, the Tigers came roaring out of the locker room. On the first series in the second half, the squad put together a drive that was capped by Hoge’s third touchdown of the game. While the offense was busy making touchdowns, the defensive unit was recording their third shutout in the first five games of the season. The defense even scored a touchdown as Mike Simmons intercepted a pass and ran 39 yards for the score. Robbie Schmitt kicked the extra point which turned out to be the last point of the game. At the end of the third quarter, the Tigers led by a whopping 40-0 score. During the fourth quarter, the Sophomores and Freshmen played to earn valuable game experience. This made the 1983 Homecoming even more fun as every class was represented in the game. Although no scoring occurred during the last quarter, the game remained very exciting and spirited. The final score was Dupo 40 and Red Bud 0, proving once again that homecomings at Dupo High are Tiger property.

The play-offs, known as the “Second Season,” began on a disappointing note as the Tigers were placed in Class 3-A for the first time in the school’s history. No matter, the Tigers refused to let the tougher class affect their play. The first play-off game was played at home in a steady downpour. The Tigers impressively beat the Carlinville Cavaliers to record the soggy win. The team then jour-nied north for their quarter-final matchup against a powerful Pittsfield squad. Although the Tigers were not in total control of the game, they managed to pull out the victory that, by the end of the game, was being played in snowfall. Next, the team traveled south to face Anna-Jonesboro, where the Tigers’ successful season came to an end. Nonetheless, the fans’ relentless support did not end in Anna-Jonesboro. The team returned home to Dupo where a parade had been formed to escort them to the school. Students, parents, and townspeople then assembled in the gymnasium for one last show of support for the record-setting 1983 Varsity Fighting Tigers.

Regardless of where Dupo finishes In the Class 3A competition, the Tigers are champions in providing their fans with an exciting. Intense brand of football When I first saw the Tigers I assumed I d be following the efforts of quarterback Jim Jarvis, a four Car starter and pn .ihl compare i efforts to those of his coach Gary Mauser who was outstanding at the same position during his playing days at Belleville West But a the Tiger dismantled Carlmville in the mud and rain I found mysell just as interested in running backs Jim Hoge. a 175 pound senior and Scot!

SPORTS 15 Record Setting Tigers Have First Undefeated Season The 1983 Varsity Football Tigers will long be remembered as the greatest team in DCHS history. The Tigers broke numerous records and provided the fans with an exciting brand of football. Some of the records that were broken were: most wins in a season (11), first undefeated season (9-0), and most shutouts in a season (6). These records indicate why the Tigers were one of the most powerful teams in the area. The Tigers opened the season with a victory over Orchard Farm in 90° heat. Although the Tigers were not too impressive, the game did start the most successful season in the history of the school. Next in line for the Tigers were arch rivals, Columbia Eagles. This game is traditionally a tough, hard hitting match up; however, the Tigers established control early and dominated the remainder of the game. The Central Cougars were a possible threat for hopes of winning the Cahokia Conference Championship, but they didn’t stand in the way for long as the varsity squad rolled to an easy victory. The team’s next opponents were the Waterloo Bulldogs. This was the first year that the Bulldogs competed on the varsity level, and the Tigers taught them a few lessons about football. Ironically, Waterloo was the only conference team to score on the Dupo defense. The Homecoming game pitted us against Red Bud. Once again, the Tigers proved to be too awesome as they easily won. The Assumption Pioneers were the toughest opponent played during the regular season. The Tigers needed a fourth quarter touchdown and a 2-point conversion to pull out the come-from-behind victory. A week of steady rain set the stage for the Mud Bowl match against Madison. Dupo was the superior team but Mother Nature helped to even the odds and the Tigers had to hang on for the close victory. After seven games, the Freeburg Midgets came to town with visions of winning the Cahokia Conference Crown themselves. No such luck for the Midgets as the Tigers had visions of their own and defeated Freeburg in fine fashion. Then, only the Pinckneyville Panthers stood in the way of the first undefeated season. The Tigers jumped out to an early lead and held off a fourth quarter rally by the Panthers to win the game and capture the perfect record for the season. Jim Jarvis and Don King were co-captains for the Fighting Tigers. As a result of their outstanding achievements during the 1983 season, the Varsity Tigers received many honors, both as a team and as individuals. Team honors included the Cahokia Conference Championship, advancement to the Semifinals in State Play-Offs, KMOX Pepsi Cola Team of the Week, and a number one rating in the Belleville News-Democrat’s Power Rating Poll. The Tigers were voted one of the top three offensive teams and one of the best two defensive teams in the area. Individual honors included spots on the Cahokia Conference First Team for Jim Jarvis, Don King, Jim Hoge, Chris Cobb, Tim Weber, Mike Simmons, Lloyd McDonald, Jeff Snider and Colin McClenahan.

The mighty Tigers started the action packed season by overpowering their arch rival, Columbia.

The next test for the Tigers were the usually tough Central Cougars. However, the Sophomores were well prepared and won by an overwhelming 65-6. The Waterloo Bulldogs were next in line for defeat. The visiting Tigers easily rolled over the Bulldogs and increased their record to 3-0. After Waterloo came the Red Bud Musketeers, and again the mighty Sophomore team cruised to victory. The team then traveled to Assumption to meet the Pioneers in an important nonconference game. The Tigers played their way through another shutout as they manhandled the hosting Pioneers. The Madison Trojans came to town next for another non-conference game. The Sophomores increased their record to 6-0 as they romped over the visiting Madison squad. The final game of the season was played against a tough Freeburg team. The Tigers and the Midgets battled for four quarters on a muddy field and ended the game in a 6-6 tie. Coaches for the undefeated Sophomore team were Richard Bright and Jon Rehg. Robbie Schmitt and Chuck Illig were the co-cap-tains. Back Row: Coach Bob Mason. Jackie Graham. Mike Ryan, Charlie Meyer.

Freshmen Hold Opponents Scoreless In 1983 The 1983 Freshmen Tigers football team put their names in the record books as they went the entire season without surrendering a single point. The Freshmen started their season at the Belleville West Jamboree, which is always a challenge because the Tigers play much larger schools. However, in spite of the odds, Dupo was unbeaten by their three opponents-Belleville West White, Belleville West Maroon and the Sparta Bulldogs. The Dupo Jamboree followed and once again the Freshmen won over three opponents. Waterloo, Madison and Pinck-neyville fell to the fighting Tigers. Regular season play began with a victory over the Central Cougars, followed by an easy win over the Waterloo Bulldogs. A tougher challenge appeared to be with Triad, a traditionally hard to beat team. However, the Tigers forgot about the Knights’ tradition and went on to win their ninth game of the season. The squad’s next opponents were the Madison Trojans, a team the Tigers faced in the Dupo Jamboree. Once again, our Freshmen were victorious. The Freeburg Midgets were the only team that could keep the Freshmen Tigers from having an undefeated season. This final match of the season was played in the rain and in almost total darkness. The game ended in a 0-0 tie, leaving the Freshmen with an unbeaten, unscored on record for 1983. This winning squad was coached by Robert Mason and Jon Rehg. Cocaptains were Jeff Plunkett and Mike Ryan.

Let’s go for it! Varsity Tigers Suffer Through Dismal Season Winning Only 5 The Varsity Tigers were led under the direction of first year coach, Robert Mason. The Tigers opened the season on a high note and with a new look as the “run and gun” Tigers. In the first game, the Tigers out ran the Valmeyer Pirates and the team looked like they would improve on last year’s record. However, things didn’t work that way. The Tigers fell into a horrendous slump losing seven games in a row before finally defeating the Valmeyer Pirates again. This was the team’s second victory in nine games. After the Valmeyer victory, the Tiger cagers began to play much better basketball. They went on to win two of their next five games including a Cahokia Conference victory over the Marissa Meteors. This was the first time in four years that the Tigers have beaten Marissa. The team then lost three conference games in a row before rebounding against West County (St. Louis) in a game the Tigers dominated from the start. The Varsity team closed out their regular season by losing their last three conference games. The Regional Play-Offs followed, and the Tigers were defeated in the first round by the Lovejoy Wildcats for the second straight year. The team ended the season with 1 win and 12 losses in conference action, and 5 wins and 17 losses overall. Back Row: Coach Mauser. Wade Hull. Joe Moore. Jeff Hudson. Tim Carpentar. Scott Warren.

From there, the defensive-minded Tigers lost two straight to Freeburg and Trico before defeating arch rival Columbia. After the first four games, the J.V. squad was at .500 and things looked promising. The Tigers lost the next two to Red Bud and Waterloo and then defeated Valmeyer for the second time this season.

Freshmen Rebound After Slow Start After losing their first five games, the Freshmen players began to play the kind of basketball that they are capable of. The Freshmen Tigers recorded their first win of the season against the New Athens Yellow Jackets. From this point on, the young team played .500 basketball. The Freshmen could have had an even better season if some of the players had not been needed on the Junior Varsity squad. Another factor that kept the Freshmen from winning more games than they did, was that the team suffered from numerous injuries and cases of the flu Number 23. Mike Ryan, appears to be sleepwalking during this game. by many key players. The Freshmen Tigers’ season was ended by arch rival Columbia in the second round of the Cahokia Conference Freshman Tournament. The team was coached by Richard Bright.

Girls Determined In Spite Of Losing Season Although the Junior Varsity team wasn’t successful in winning this year, they had a lot of enthusiasm and came close to victory on several occasions, losing only by a couple of points. The team ended the season with the determination to start with a winning streak next year. The squad consisted of mostly Freshmen, with only two returning starters from last year, Kendra Pratt and Sheena Bryant. As the season progressed, the team showed a lot of improvement in their abilities as individuals and as a team. Looks like Ramona will get this jump ball.

The 1984 Varsity softball team had a very successful year with an overall record of 13-8 and a conference record of 7- 6. The team was led by six seniors, four of them returning starters. This year’s team voted Ramona Sloan as MVP. Kim Edwards and Gina Tolbird were named to the All Conference 1st team, and Jenny Hobbs, Krista Sloan and Ramona Sloan were named to the All Conference 2nd team. During a game against Columbia, Kim Edwards suffered a severe knee injury which required surgery. She was unable to play for the remainder of the season. Freshman Rochelle Knox took her place and did an outstanding job. The softball team was ranked 5th in their conference. In the first round of the regional they defeated Steeleville 14-3. In the second round they upset 4th ranked Red Bud 8-6. In the semifinals of the regional tournament, Dupo Varsity was defeated by Marissa 7-3. Track Tigers’ Future Looks “Bright” For 1985 Season Mike Hofstetter grits his teeth as he endures his turn in the 3200 meter relay. The 1984 Varsity Track Tigers added to the collection of successful sports teams during the past school year. The Tigers, guided by coaches Rich Bright, Vicki Sheets and Ron Malone, placed second in the Cahokia Conference meet at Red Bud. This was the highest a Dupo team has placed in several years. The Tigers placed fifth in the O’Fallon Relay an honor that may not seem so great. Considering that Dupo was the smallest school at the meet, and the schools they competed against had over 1000 students, fifth place was an excellent finish. Another highlight of the season was a first place tie with Freeburg for small schools in the St. Clair County meet. The Freshman Sophomore team finished fourth in the annual Dupo Freshman Sophomore Invitational. These results are a good indication that the Tigers will be definite contenders for the conference title next year. The team will lose only two members, seniors Bob Jerashen and Jeff Thielemann. The Tigers had many individuals who earned high honors as two school records were broken. The record breaking team of Dale White, Carlos Foster, Jim Williams and Brian Mehrtens posted a time of 3:29:00 in the 1600 meter relay. The 3200 meter relay team had the most successful season for the Tigers. The four man team of Jeff Thielemann, Jim Williams, Mike Hofstetter and Brian Mehrtens posted a time of 8:28:02 to break the school record. They were also the All Conference squad and qualified for the IHSA State Track Meet at Eastern Illinois University. With the experience the team got this past year, they should be one of the top teams in the area next year.

The winning team compiled a conference record of 12 wins and only 1 loss. Their overall record was an amazing 23 wins and 5 losses. The Tigers opened the season with a victory over arch rival Columbia, then split a doubleheader with large school powerhouse East St. Louis. Next, the team easily defeated the Madison Trojans, then beat New Athens before sweeping a doubleheader from Carlyle. After giving up their only conference loss to the Waterloo Bulldogs, the Tigers ran off thirteen consecutive wins. A rematch victory over Waterloo got the Tigers some revenge. The Althoff Crusaders snapped the Tigers’ winning streak by sweeping the doubleheader. The Regionals began and the number one seeded Tigers were ready to face the Love-joy Wildcats. However, Lovejoy must have 30 VARSITY BASEBALL forgotten about the game as they failed to show up thus giving the Tigers the forfeit win. The team’s hopes for a trip to the state tournament were crushed in the semifinals of the Regionals as the Freeburg Midgets upset the Tigers. However, the Tigers had two conference games left in which they could wrap up the conference championship. The varsity squad easily defeated Freeburg, the team that knocked the Tigers out of the Regionals, and secured at least a cochampionship. But the team had no visions of sharing the title and defeated Columbia to win the conference championship. The Tigers will be remembered as one of the most hustling and exciting baseball teams Dupo High has had for many years. The Varsity also compiled one of the best records in a long time. Seniors on the Tiger team were Chris Cobb, Randy Blakely, Keith Meagher, Glen George, Don King, Jim Thompson, Mike Simmons, Mike Long, Jim Jarvis, Bill Gooch and Tim Weber.

The squad started out the season with a bang as they easily defeated the Columbia Eagles and the New Athens Yellowjackets. Then, the East St. Louis Flyers defeated the Tigers, who were at a large disadvantage. All of East Side’s players were sophomores, while the Tigers had several freshmen on their squad. The Tigers then soundly defeated Red Bud and then nipped the Lebanon Greyhounds. The Windsor Owls defeated Dupo before the Tigers bounced back to clobber Red Bud again. After splitting a doubleheader with Waterloo, the team lost to East St. Louis in the season finale, in a game that lasted almost three hours and saw 33 runs cross the plate. The Freshman-Sophomore Tigers were coached by Robert Mason.

Mr. McFall, you have done a lot for our Senior Class and we owe our sincere thanks to you for all the years and long hours you have worked with us. Our class was always different from the others because you believed that everyone should be his own leader and set examples for the younger generation. We set our goals high and without your loyalty we could nit have achieved them. Not only were you our teacher, you were our friend whenever we needed you. We have learned a lot from you and in the future we will look back and remember the things you taught us. We will never forget you, Mr. McFall, or the many things you did to help our class. 44 SENIOR OFFICERS AND SPONSOR It was 1980 in the Fall When our class gave you the call. We needed guidance and leadership, We needed an adult who was still hip. He was young at heart and very good looking And had good ideas that got our class “bookin’.” Our ideas about money were really nice; We took everything and “doubled the price.” Our ideas were different, many would say. Instead of in the gym, we held prom away. Our class was successful, maybe the best. Our wonderful sponsor helped us pass each test. Compared with other classes, ours will stand tall. And we owe it all to Mr. McFall.

Lots of luck staying awake during lectures, Juniors! In an unofficial survey of classes, 78% of the Juniors have a TV in their room at home. Let’s hope they get to take it to college. 70% have been given a discipline referral and 4% don’t know James Hannah. See page 59 if you are one of the 4%. Seven people in the class have never been on a date. Find out who these people are immediately. They may be waiting for the right person. More Juniors were born in May and July than in any other month. According to the survey, well over half the class was born in Illinois, with Missouri being the runner-up state. 57% of the Juniors have been in this district since kindergarten, and 63% eat in the school’s cafeteria. 88% have their drivers’ license,and 60% come to school via a car. Nineteen Juniors have had braces on their teeth and 62% perfer Pepsi over Coke. Probably 100% wish they’d never answered this survey. David Thorne. VicePres.; Shari Young.

JUNIORS 63 Foreign Language Is Favorite Sophomore Subject One-fourth of the Sophomores chose foreign language courses as their favorite subject area, with business classes being the next popular. Only fourteen percent selected P.E. as their favorite. Physical education was the overwhelming first choice for Juniors and Freshmen. Is there a message here? The El Tigre’s poll shows that eighty-seven percent of the Sophomores have been on a date and thirteen percent are still hoping. Eighty-eight percent know James Hannah and sixty-two percent prefer Pepsi over Coke. Two-thirds of the class have been in the district since kindergarten and three-fourths were born in Illinois. Sixty percent say they have been given a discipline referred and fifty-two percent have been on the honor roll this year. Sophomores led the falling asleep in class category with seventy-four percent saying they have. According to the survey, more Sophomores were born in September than in any other month. The lucky day of the month for Sophomore birthdays is the 13th. Fifty-two Sophomores have a TV in their room at home, and seventeen have a drivers’ license. The cafeteria is their favorite (?) lunch spot and forty-five percent of the class ride the bus to school. No one in the class described themself as boring or ugly. Most said they were the “studious” type presumably when they’re awake in class. Sophomore Class Officers Top: Rhonda Duncan, Sec.; Middle: Donna Hood. Vice-Pres.; Front: Ramona Sloan.

SOPHOMORES 69 Two Freshmen Describe Themselves As Boring Since students were asked not to sign the El Tigre’s first unofficial, official survey, no one knows the identity of these two boring Freshmen. You’ll yawn when you meet them. And there’s more bad news for Junior James Hannah. Twenty Freshmen do not know him. James claimed that everyone knew him. The survey proves differently. Although P.E. ranked first for favorite subject, math came in as a strong second. More Freshmen were born in April than in any other month, and the most popular date for arriving was the 18th. Eighty-eight percent say they have been on a date. Perhaps they didn’t understand the question. Standing next to someone in the lunch line is not considered dating. Sixty-two percent prefer to have lunch in the cafeteria (and go on a date at the same time?). Three-fourths of the Freshmen have TV’s in their room at home and two-thirds say they have fallen asleep in class. Fifty-six percent have been in the district since kindergarten and 58% ride the bus to school. Freshmen chose Pepsi over Coke, making it unanimous.

To it should come all children and these should remain in attendance until they have completed a curriculum appropriate to their needs. Special schools should be provided for the atypical individual. Major support for the school should come from the state with the local community support being on the ability basis and the federal government on an equalization basis. The culture in which such an institution will be most valuable will be one in which all individuals have equal social and economic opportunity. Private enterprise is the basic economic organization but exploitation of neither man nor nature should be permitted for private gain. The school should consider each child as an individual differing from other children socially, mentally, physically, and emotionally. The curriculum of the school should, in so far as is possible, provide for the individual needs and interests of each child as determined by careful analysis, cooperatively made by the teacher and the student. Close cooperation should exist between the community, the local board, the faculty, and the pupils as they plan and carry on the program of the school together. The school should make its facilities available to the community often and in varied ways. Board of Education: Back Row: William Melican, Clyde Satterfield. Nathan Price; Front Row: Mark Varner.

Cooperative education is designed for students who have the need or desire to work while attending school. Juniors and Seniors enrolled in the course attend school one-half day and then work the remaining portion of the day. The training sites provide the students with an opportunity to adjust to employment and provide experience to prepare the student for increasing responsibility and or advancement. 84 COOP Filling orders is one of Ron Ragsdale’s jobs at Superior Fastener. Zk vezd’ i£ Sophomore Kendra Pratt takes a backseat to Grandpa. Driver Education is an important class to almost every sophomore student who is interested in getting a driver’s license. In this class, there is plenty of homework; luckily, it lasts only one quarter. Not too many students fail this class because successful completion of the course is required by law in Illinois for sixteen year-olds seeking a license. Once the book work is out of the way, each student drives twelve times with Mr. Cox who is currently the Driver Education instructor. Learning how to drive is impor- but also learning what makes the car run is something else students learn in the class. Before getting behind the wheel of the driver education car, students learn how to check the oil, how to put gas in the car and how to change a tire. They also learn where and what the parts are of the car. Ask any student that has survived Driver Education and you’ll more than likely find that all the homework and study is well worth the effort. I won’t get oil on my hand, will I?? Gas her up girls and let’s go! DRIVERS’ ED. 85 Beck Area Vocational Center Offers f % qNa .

No way, baby! There’s no frog in my blender. Several Juniors and Seniors from D.C.H.S. attend Beck Area Vocational Center, located near Red Bud. Students divide their day between classes at the high school and at Beck. There, they can take their choice of several different courses. The courses offered range from welding to child care to office procedures. The students who go to Beck seem to enjoy the experience. When asked what they thought about the Beck alternative, the usual responses were, “I like it. I think it’s great.,” or “It’s a lot better than staying at school.” One student even admitted that, “It’s good because I really learn a lot there.” For whatever reasons students like Beck, the best reason is clearly that students are able to take courses that smaller high schools like Dupo cannot afford to offer. Dennis Phelps and Brad Rooney are partners on this job. It must be Dennis’ turn to be the apprentice.

With the more experienced band members giving helpful suggestions to the new Freshmen, the band was in shape for a few parades between football games, including the S.I.U.- Carbondale Homecoming. At the end of the football season. Pep Band practiced quickly to get in shape for the basketball season. While Pep Band was playing at home basketball games and pep assemblies, Stage Band began their practices for coming engagements.

This session, Dupo students represented the nations of Afghanistan, Japan, and the Soviet Union. The Friday afternoon awards ceremony represented the culmination of months of research and study by Dupo’s delegates. Dupo received a remarkable total of eight awards this session. Jim Thompson (representing the USSR in Committee II; Disarmament) was awarded superior delegate in committee and a $1000 scholarship to McKendree College. Bryan Cort, USSR delegate from the Political Committee, received superior delegate in committee and alternate $1000 McKendree scholarship. Troy Whaley (USSR in Committee IV: Economic Development) took superior delegate in committee. Kelly Kujawa (USSR in Committee V: Ad Hoc) won superior delegate in committee. Tammy Smith was recognized for her superior Position Paper. Dupo’s Soviet Union delegation was presented with the overall Outstanding Delegation award-the highest honor given at the Model United Nations. The pages had a tough time this session, but they all worked hard and helped the delegates immensely. All this was made possible by Model U.N. sponsor Ms. D.S. Raker.

This involves planning the book, arranging photos, art and copy on the pages in an eye-catching manner, and writing copy, which seems to be last on every staff member’s list of what they want to do. Many of the candid photos in the yearbook are taken by staff photographers and developed and printed in the school’s darkroom. Although our darkroom leaves much to be desired, the photographers work with precision and good timing to produce good quality work.

SCHOLAR QUIZ 99 Chorus Grows This was a transitional and reorganizational year for chorus at DCHS, seeing the enthusiasm for vocal music grow from a single spark to a viable, powerful ensemble. At the beginning of the year, ten dedicated students attended rehearsals after school and prepared forthe festive Christmas concert, given jointly with the High School Band. As interest grew, so did membership in the choir, growing from ten to twenty-three. Meeting during the weekly activity period once a week and in extra rehearsals after school, the choir devoted their time to developing vocal skills, sight-reading and gaining exposure to a wide variety of musical styles. Preparation was geared with sights on the Spring Arts Festival and Baccalaureate. We bid a fond farewell to our graduating seniors: Shelley Bird, Pam Gold, Deana Hudson, Dawn Linke, Kim McClanahan, Denise Miller and Tammy Miller. CHORUS Front Row: Susan Coff, Melissa Cole.

Junior Achievement is an organization that teaches high school students about the free enterprise system. At Dupo High, students meet every Wednesday evening from September to April. The J.A. “company” sells stock, buys raw materials, makes a product and sells it. Salaries and wages are paid from the profits, and at the end of the year the “company” is liquidated. Stockholders are paid according to the success of the year’s sales. Wooden chairs and cars, Christmas wreaths and plaques made by the students boosted total sales for 1983-84 to $1120. All of the officers made it to the semifinals of the “Officer-Of-The-Year” contest, and J.A. president Diane Snellenberger advanced to the finals.

Student Council Works Hard To Student Council members continue to stay involved in workshops scheduled throughout the year. Student Council Officers Cathy Wiechert, Points Sec.; Shari Young, Sec.; Karen Ferry, Pres.; Beth Radentz, Vice Pres.; Troy Whaley, Treas. Student Council works very hard to help the students and the school as much as possible. As usual, the beginning of the school year began with Homecoming. Committees and a theme are chosen the preceding year, and work begins over the summer. Student Council had much success with assemblies this year. They included Homecoming, holiday assemblies, sports assemblies, the Senior Honors assembly, and even some extras. The council members also try to help others. This year the council held a fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy. They collected canned goods for the needy in the community, and toys were collected for the children at New Hope in Waterloo. Student Council is responsible for providing information on the school’s marquee and in local newspapers. The organization is always ready and willing to help not only the students but the faculty as well. 104 STUDENT COUNCIL Members discuss assembly plans before it begins.

As a parent in Unit District 196, her own concern and love, not only for her sons but also for all students, was an example to all teachers and parents as she urged and demanded the best education possible. As a person, she demonstrated the humanity and courage needed as an example of Living for her students. We will remember Mrs. Earhart as an outstanding teacher who brought credit to her profession, school and community.

JR HIGH PARTY 143 Qt oommodora CBM JUMIQR HIGH STUDENTS FIRST TO BOOT UP COMPUTERS IN NEW COURSE Dupo Junior High has added something new to their curriculum this year, an “Introduction to Computers” class. Do you remember Mr. Strobo’s former Algebra I room (101)? Well, take out the desks, put in a few tables and chairs, add thirteen computers and you have the new Computer Education Room. The course is taught by Mr. Joe Stewart and is offered only on the junior high level this year. During the quarter-long course, junior high students are being taught to become competent users of the computer. Plans are being made for a senior high class next year. Even though the class is taken only by seventh and eighth graders, the computers serve the entire school. Independent Study credits are earned by students after school. Before 144 COMPUTERS school, during lunch, and after school, freelance “computer wizards” do everything from playing Space Invaders to doing Industrial Arts homework. The Guidance Office, Attendance Office, High School Office and the Superintendent’s Office use the computers for record keeping and statistical reports. On the high school level, the Office Practices class has a word processing unit at its disposal. Many teachers throughout District 196 learned about the basics of using the computer in a course offered after school during the first semester. Many of these teachers are now using the computers frequently. So, as you can see, we are entering the Computer Age at Dupo and thus, giving an “apple” to the teacher has taken on a new meaning at our school.
