Arriving in the rain became a common occurence during the fall. Holly Sullivan, Lori McCully, Ericka Wiensch, Jenny Newman and Renee Stephenson try to make it into the building without being soaked on October 3. Being there . . . With a new look, marching squad members debuted in their new uniforms at the September 19 game. After 18 years, the uniforms needed to be updated both for style and for wear and tear. As a result of the successful millage in June, 1985, a review committee was established with the decision to award the $35,000 contract to Nicsinger. The original contract called for the uniforms to be delivered prior to the September 5 game. Mr. Reed realized that they weren ' t going to be delivered on time without some help. A bus was sent to Detroit to bring back the ship- ment. Road constrution delayed the ar- rival of the uniforms until 3:50 p.m. With the changes, band members sparkled under the new lights. As Erick Senkmajer said, It ' s been a long time in between uniforms and I ' m just really glad our class could be around to see the new uniforms. Freezing was a sidelight of marching season. With temperatures in the 30 ' s, band members Lester Farley, Tom Coppola, Jennifer Kloeffler, Kent Yaney and Bill O ' Grady kept warm while cheering. Keyboarding entered the electronic age. Todd Jackins spent the first week of school learning on a manual typewriter, before the late September installation of the electronic equipment. Introduction — 3

A day without rain was unusual in the midst of 25 days of wet weather in September . . . breaking the 16 game losing streak and placing second in the SCAL in football . . . cross country ranked 7th in the state . . . All of these activities worked together to make ' 87 unique. Cross Country returned weekly with trophies from meets. As Coach Avers stated, We work together as a team, that ' s why we are so successful. 1 987 was a year of unique happen- ings. Each day brought new events and dramatic differences. From the changes in requirements to the winn- ing sports seasons to the excitement of homecoming, to really live ' 87 . . . You had to be there Muskrat, Scott Dupie takes a welcome break during the October 17 game. The Muskrat is a favorite person among children at sporting events. Arranging cob webs Matt Nowicki and Jay DeBoyer help turn the junior hall into a spooky halloween scene. Students worked from 2:30 to 6:00 on October 15 for the coveted first prize. 2 — Introduction

f ' V What is Black Wednesday? Why do College Comp students cringe when Mr. Holmes explains the big day ? With this being the biggest test during the marking period, students start hitting the books two weeks before. It ' s a day that all students fear said Cindy Angers. Throughout the day on October 8, College Comp students were filling their yellow sheets in hopes of hav- ing the right notes to do well on the test. As Mr. Holmes said, It ' s the chance to prove whether you are college material or not. For a short time in the fall, a preying mantis was a resident in Mrs. Redeiss ' science classes. Jill Gracki, Tina Mangiapagne and Krista Hansen observe the insects activity. Being there . . . Quiet time in the library is exactly what Kim Hallum needs to finish studying for Black Wednesday . Like many College Comp students, Kim crammed as much information as possible onto the yellow sheet. Research is a major part of College Composition. Maggie Barker searches the card catalog for the piece of information she needs to complete her consumer survey project.
