Boys’ and Girls’ State June not only proved to be a fun vacation, but for some, it was educational as well. Boys’ State and Girls’ State took place dur- ing the second week. Sponsored by the Lion’s Club and Rotary Club, nine students learned about local, State, and national governments. Both mythical states’ were divided into counties and cities. The ‘citizens’ ran for offices on all levels of government, from the governor to city dog catcher. Problems of society were presented to the cities, counties, and State. It was the job of the participants to create solutions for the problems. Free time was given to participate in volleyball, softball, racqu- etball, and swimming. There was even a quiz bowl team for those not athletically inclined. Pat Ropp, Paul Erbe, Matt Ayotte, Bryan Taylor, and Nick Groch were delegates to Boys’ State which was held at Michigan State University. All 900 boys walked to the State Capitol to visit their congress- men and listen to a speech by Governor James Blanchard. Cheryl Sulkowski, Kathy Dawson, Tina Balinski, and Anne Connors were delegates to Girls’ State held at Central Michigan University.

Freshmen Float Sails to Victory The freshmen class cheers as they hear that they are the winners of the 1986 Homecoming float building contest. Dianne Cassin said, ' It was a lot of hard and time consum- ing work, but it paid off.’ This is the first time that the freshmen class has taken first place in many years. ‘If it wasn’t for all the hard- working people, we would never have won, ' said Kevin Quinlan, one of the many students who worked on the float. The float was a Viking ship that said, ‘Saints Take a Dive.’ This prize-winning float was assembled at Toni Mumford ' s house. Kelley Cruickshank said, ' It was very difficult work, but it was fun!’ Everyone in the class seemed to agree. It was a great start to a great year. Freshmen 9
