After four years of five-hour days things changed drastically. New schedules were sent in July to all students to prepare for the added sixth hour. “ I took Business law for my extra class, because it seemed like the practical thing to do,” answered Cheryl McLean when asked what she took as her added class. “I took French because I wanted to learn a different language and I wanted to go to Europe again,” stated Cheryl Scott. (Cheryl traveled with Mr. Trotter’s tour, July, 1985.) Of course, with the addition of new elective courses, some new requirements must also be made. Effecting the Class of 88, the new requirements are single semesters of: Speech, Computer Science, and Physical Education, and four years of Social Studies . Variety in events and activities continue to make living in Algonac interesting. Bright summer days found many students on boats relaxing and perfecting tans. Summer, 1985 also found many students at various camps. Band members spent a week in August at CYO camp in Lexington.

Student activities... fun filled days S-P-I-R-I-T .he 8ym actually shook as students screamed frantically for their teams in the annual tug of war during homecoming week. Although the Seniors put up quite a fight, the Juniors came away with victory. An overwhelming response to the dance led the dance committee to finally secure the gym to have it in. Although no street shoes could be worn on the new finish on the floor, most of the students were in such good humor that it really made little difference. There were other obstacles to homecoming activities, such as, the unfortunate clash of band competitions and hall decorations. The tie of Chris Castiglione and Sandy Placencia for queen made things at least a little complicated, but interesting for all involved. Domination continued in areas — Marching Band captured ones in the annual Marching Band Festival on October 9 for the fourth year in a row. Yearbook and newspaper staffs journeyed to Bowling Green University in Ohio for the 33rd Great Lakes Interscholastic Press Association. For the third year in a row, Remembrance received first place in judging. Assemblies added spice to the day. Free Fair returned with a concert that shook the gym. Unique happenings, unique year . . . there ' s no stopping us now. Preparation is a key to any sport. Varsity football players warm up before the October 1 1 game against Cros-Lex.
