Our World Of Entertainment Bands, pom-pons, flags, cheerleaders, sports, drama, skits, assemblies, and more. It's a world of entertainment at the Traverse City Senior High. During the course of the year special activities were held to promote school spirit and to get more people involved with school functions. Pep assemblies started the enthusiasm before a sporting event, while the dances after the games kept the spirits pumping. The marching band first filled the gym, then the football field with a terrific beat for the pom-pons, and cheerleaders to move in rhythm with. Once the weather started to get too cold to be outside, the entertainment was moved indoors. First came the excitement of the basketball games. Then the wrestling matches, volleyball games, gymnastic meets, concerts, the talent shows and plays. The ’85-’86 Drama Club presented ‘Carosel’ during the month of May a crowd pleaser to everyone. After the marching season ended the band and orchestra began concert season. That’s not all folks the Talent show, which was a big hit, was put on by NHS, featuring a variety of acts by the students. For the more romantic people, there was the ballroom event of the year Prom. If none of these ideas were appealing, there were always the local theaters, or a party at the 80’s. Graduation and Senior Night were the final farewell performance for the seniors. There you have it a short look at “Our World Of Entertainment.” It was a full year of excitement.

Jackie Wessell and Jill VandenBerge kissed the dummy one last time before he was burned in the homecoming bond-fire. Was it the kids by the fence or the mud puddle that Shawn Schmidt and Matt Bartone had to walk through homecoming night, that made their smiles so wide before they walked onto the football field? Our World Of Friendship Some of us have been friends from the first day of kindergarten. Others may have just met during the past year. No matter when the first sign of friendship began, a bondage of memories will someday recreate the times we’ve had together. One of the advantages of attending the Traverse City Senior High is the opportunity of having many varied friends. Many students first get acquainted in the classroom. Some classes last for eighteen weeks, while others last the whole year. Each time a new year begins or a new semester of classes start, students often find unfamiliar faces around them. Because of the population in the school, it’s not unusual to walk into a classroom and know only about half the class. Sometimes it’s discouraging to not know everyone, because the chance of having your best friends in a lot of your classes are slim. But the teachers do a good job of getting their students to do things that will help to get them all acquainted. After the stage of getting to know each other is over, the disappointment of not having your closest friends in class seems to disappear. Two other major opportunities to meet people in school surroundings are on athletic teams and in extra-curricular activities. The beginning of very long friendships sometimes starts at tryouts. Such friendships created school spirit and helped to make the TC Senior High a strong academic and athletic school. We worked together as friends to create a school of Trojan teamwork. 9
