Y' Dedication While most of the people of Marion were asleep in their homes on September 8th, tragedy struck the DeGelleke family. A fire in their home claimed the life of Mrs. Judith DeGelIeke, and severely injured a man held so dearly to many of us. What most of us did not realize was that never again would we walk down the halls of Marion to see the familiar scruffy beard and lovable pot-belly. Never again would I be kidded about all the money his wife spent at the darn hairdresser's. Twelve days after that terrible Saturday morning, Mr. DeGelleke left us to join his wife in what we wish to be their eternal happiness. This tragedy has deeply touched each of us in a different way, yet the community has come together to create a lasting memory. The DeGelleke Memorial Scholarship fund has been established, and the Wayne County tennis coaches developed the John DeGelleke Sportsmanship Award, which was awarded to the Marion team this past season. Mr. DeGelleke taught at MCS for 23 years, and served as advisor to Student Council, Ski Club, coach for boys' and girls' tennis, and was chairman of the Social Studies Department. Getting used to his absence has not been easy. Mr. DeGelleke, though you are no longer here with us, we hope that somehow you know that your presence is still felt. Your life was not without meaningg it is only unfortunate that others will not be able to know the Mr. DeGelleke we grew to love and respect. Lisa Schoonerman, Editor-in-Chief
