Junior Class Officers Lead the Way Dusty Hondzinski President The Junior year is very im- portant to every class because it requires good leadership in order to make the Senior year a year that everyone in the class will remember. This year’s Junior class officers have absolutely lived up to all hopes and expectations and then some. The Senior year seems destined to be great. As president, Dusty Hondzinski had many jobs which included organizing homecoming and the Junior Katie Jackson Vice-President Prom, setting up and leading the steering committee meet- ings, starting fund raisers, and directing the operation of the concession stand at home varsity football games. Dusty commented, ‘I really enjoy being president and having all the responsibilities I have, even though it’s hard, but the results usually pay off.’ Dusty receives a lot of help from the vice-president, Katie Jackson. ‘I really don’t have much to do because the Tammy Duncan Secretary president does so much of it. All the officers help out a lot, though,’ Katie said. Tammy Duncan, the class secretary, also contributes much of her time to organizing within the junior class activi- ties. She does everything from sending out invitations and writing thank-you notes to tak- ing attendance at meetings. Tammy said, As secretary, I really appreciate all the help I’ve received from the teachers and administrators, Jennifer Toles Treasurer especially during Homecom- ing and the Junior Prom. Also, many people in the community are always willing to help us.’ Jennifer Toles, the class treasurer, also helps out con- siderably by keeping track of all the class money and assist- ing the other officers. ‘I really like being an officer, and I think it’s a lot of fun,’ Jennifer commented. For the 1986-1987 school year, the Junior Class was in good hands. Fundraising Prepares For Senior Year The Junior Class has raised quite a substantial sum of money this year. This will be used next year, the senior year, to fund the Senior Prom and other activities and needs that the class will have in its final year. The money was raised in various ways. This included everything from operating the traditional Junior Class con- cession stand at home football games to selling Christmas ornaments shortly before Christmas. The class president, Dusty Hondzinski, had the respon- sibility of managing the con- cession stand for the entire game and making sure that all the classmates helping her were doing their jobs and showing up on time. The concession stand plays a major role in the Junior Class fundraising for the year. ' The job was done correctly, and everything ran smoothly and efficiently,’ said Deanne Gkekas. The Junior Class future looks bright because of all the efforts extended by many dur- ing the course of the year. Mr. Bill Goetz was the class sponsor. 12 Juniors

Christmas Fundraiser Successful Class Officers Display Leadership The Sophomore class, like all classes, had to raise money for present and future class needs. This year the sophomores put their energy into a fundraiser that involved selling elegant Christmas candles and bells. The bells were primarily designed to be displayed on a Christmas tree. Money prizes were the incentives offered to any student who sold more than $75.00 in sales. This proved to be a popular motivator. The fundraiser increased the class bank account so that they are well on the road for their future financial needs. Junior Prom and other activities in the future will be the benefi- ciary of this money. Class officers are elected to do a job that takes some essential qualities. Leadership is a very important characteristic. Another is patience. With this in mind, the Sophomore class elected four people as class officers who displayed these qualities. These people crea- tively and with hard work led them through the 1 986-1987 school year. This year, the officers were: President Laurie Sanders Vice-President Kim Allen Secretary Dawn Jozwiak Treasurer Gayle Emigh Back row: President Laurie Sanders. Vice President Kim Allen.

Great American Junior Prom: Authors Hold Me In December, the Junior English classes went to see a play at the University of Michigan Theater in Flint. The play was entitled Great American Authors’. It helped the Junior class learn about famous American literature authors and see main scenes from each of the author’s stories acted out. It was interesting for the classes in the way the performance was done. There were only four actors and actresses that portrayed over twenty-five characters throughout the presenta- tion. The props were very simple but effective. Much of the scenery was left up to the imagination. A scene from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ' was the last act. It was very well done, and the humor added a great deal to the acting. The class supervisors were Mrs. Lou Kiefer, Mrs. Marilyn Gorham, and Mr. Mike Patterson. The trip was both fun and educational. It was nice to have the opportunity for such a different learning experience. The Class of 1 988 held its Junior Prom on January 24, 1 987, in the Washington Elementary School gymnasium. The gymnasium was decorated in mint green, peach, and silver. The theme of the prom was Hold Me’. The title was based on a song by Whitney Houston and Teddy Pendergrass. Many people came to the prom. The Junior Class was well represented at this memorable occassion. The presence of many teachers was both a surprise and very pleasing to those in attendance. This was appreciated. Everyone involved had only praise for all of those who worked so hard to create such a wonderful experience. Tammy Duncan, the class secretary, commented, ‘It was hard work, but we had a lot of help from Mr. Goetz and Mr. Skzyniarz. All in all, the steering committee pulled together and did a great job. Also, it was a lot of fun and really brought our class together. The Junior Prom was one to remember. There were many memories for all to ‘hold’ on to for the future.
