Ross Focht chug-a-lugs his rootbeer in record breaking time to win the event. Laughs, Crazy Antics and Fun Motivate Sales Campaign Attempting to create enthusiasm for the ’84 book, REMEM- BRANCE staff members sponsored their second annual yearbook assembly to a sell out crowd. During the course of the assembly, the classes competed for points. The outcome was quite close with the Seniors and Juniors tied for first, Sophomores second and Freshmen third. All of the classes got involved and everyone showed spirit to cheer their class. One of the most exciting events was the tug of war with the Juniors taking on and defeating all challengers. Another highlight of the assembly was the tricycle race which helped show that high school students are also kids at heart. The crowd roared with laughter as one member from each class rode a IY 2 foot high tricycle in a figure eight obstacle course. The winning time was 48 seconds by Debbie Drummond for the sophomores. Time flew by during the hour and the following day, yearbook orders resulted in another successful sales campaign. “I thought the yearbook assembly was one of the better ones because everyone got involved.” (Pattie Kenny) Sheri Gulette announces the names of the next contestants, while Kim Gontarek and Gia Leon prepare to draw the next set of names. Bill Hogsett pedals the seniors to the finish line negotiating the course skillfully. 10

Scenic Beauty Surrounds Living on the water provides daily experience with scenic beauty. Cities that date back to the early history of the area are found all along the river. So often, landmarks and beauty are taken for granted. People drive for miles for a weekend spot at the State Park to view the St. Clair River. The Colony Tower and St. John’s Marsh are part of the tourist sights on the scenic M-29. Downtown Algonac is changing with the riverfront park, the sculpture, the fountain and the boardwalk. Yet to each resident, international freighters, spectacular sunrises and dynamic fall days are a part of daily existence. City and country living provides the best of both worlds.
