Back In Black By Tania Armstrong Students at GJHS began preparing for Friday's catfight against Bloomfield by wearing Tiger T-shirts on Monday. They threw on their safari gear Tuesday speculating on the killing of the Wildcats. Students displayed their patriotism Wednesday as they dressed in red, white and blue. Before the day was through the rock stars of GJHS took the stage to perform for airband '87. Thursday morning introduced us to a very-rainy day: Not the weather mind you, but the puddle jumpers of GJHS. As Spirit King K.C. Tubbs commented, ' Hey, it didn’t rain! Finally, Black Friday came. Cheerleaders and poms led that Tiger spirit to an all time high at the p.m. assembly. GJHS students, after much hard work, were able to show off floats, banners, chariots, not to mention their experienced teams, during a parade down Main St. None, however, could compete with the seniors who placed first in all events! Then on came the renowned Tiger band followed by several clubs and organizations that added color to the event and support for the Tiger team’s fight Friday-night. and Rhonda Spangler If the school’s spirit wasn't up yet then the car rally certainly got everyone going. Grabbing soap, shoe polish, balloons, streamers, and making sure the horn was good and loud Tigers were ready to be escorted by the police down North Ave. They made their way to the stadium. All students and faculty arrived in good time except for Mr. Tom Gleason, history teacher. His car, old blue” experienced fatalities along the way. Friday night Tiger fans, dressed in black, presented a frightening sight for Bloomfield. It was not only the stands that intimidated them but the class radiating from 87 royalty. Michele Bemis, Homecoming Queen, showed her spirit by dressing in black for her crowning during halftime activities. The victory celebration continued with a dance Saturday night. The line to get pictures, which were taken in front of a graffiti wall with trashcans as props, stretched half way across the barn. Homecoming ’87: the things we did, the fun we had. the memories that were made will be held in our hearts forever. ; The Tiger band gets ready to attack.
