THAT SPECIAL GIFT. While shop- pine for Christmas presents, freshman Madeline Reed looks at the Higbee's downtown store. The whole store was filled with holiday decorations. ROCK 'N ROLL. On New Year's Eve, Mark Tumnev accompanies the band You Tell Me. Mark has been playing the bass for 4 years. — M. Zukowski Early in the morning, the Red Cross Blood- mobile pulled into Bay High School. Its volunteers were ready to collect blood from students to help people in the Cleveland area who desperately needed it. The project was sponsored by the Student Council so members helped the Red Cross register donors, take temperatures, and sit with the donors to make sure they were okay after they gave blood. At first I wanted to chicken out, but then I got the guts up to do it. It didn't hurt when they put the nee- dle in my arm; it just felt un- comfortable. It seemed to take a million years to fill a bag up. The only person I saw who got sick was Scott Loomis. He fainted because he had to carry all of the blood people gave out to the truck. -Brenda Harris DECEMBER FRIDAY To celebrate the beginn- ig of Christmas vacation, le yearbook homeroom had a tacky gift exchange. Everyone brought in one tacky gift and all of the gifts were shoved under the tree. Here, Scott Troia, dressed for the holidays, fights with Carolyn Fain over one of the gifts. One of the gifts was a Partridge Family album. Jill Carsten got a Raggedy Anne kaleidoscope. It was just the coolest thing! I got a pez machine with a whistle on top! -Carolyn Fain — M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski Student Life DECEMBER FRIDAY At the Avon Lake basketball game, senior Jim Dowling, better knowr as Bubbles” led the fans in cheering for the Rockets. The following Monday, Jim received a pass to report to the of- fice. There, Mr. Loomis told him that because of his obnoxious behavior at the game, the administra- tion felt it was best for him to not attend anymore basketball games. Feeling that this treatment was unfair because others were involved, senior Bill Hartranft wrote a 'paragraph about what had happened along with a petition to get Bubs back and hung it on the Student Activities Board. A few days later, the petition was taken down. Senior Joe Bernecker along with junior Bob Reed then got the idea to hand out fliers using Bub's senior picture. After missing only two basketball games, Bubs was back. The administra- tion let Jim return as long as he promised to promote Bay in a positive way. Half of the campaign was done as a rebellion against the administration because we thought the punishment for what Bubs did was too harsh, especial- ly when other people were doing the same thing. He only had to miss a few games, so I guess the cam- paign was a success! Just in case Mrs. Dowling reads this, your son didn’t do anything, I swear! -Bob Reed DECEMBER 15 MONDAY

The Yearly Christmas Rush Started Every year, Christmas decora- tions seem to pop out earlier and earlier. This year stores set out candy canes, snowmen, pictures of Santa and his reindeer, and even Christmas trees at the beginning of November, before Thanksgiving! Though some people enjoy buying Christmas presents, there are others who dread the holiday season. I hate shop- ping! I always wait until the day before Christmas to eet it over with. Everyone calls me a Scrooge, but, if I could I would order everything from a catalog! said senior Jason Johnson. The Choirs took the Stage Although chorus practice began on the first dav of school, practice for the Christmas con- cert started in October. At first, practice was really easy, but, about a week before the concert, Mrs. Hanson took away the chairs, commented junior Stephanie Vanskoik. A few days before, the group held a dress rehearsal. For the actual performance, the girls' chorus took the stage first. The freshman chorus came next, followed by the concert choir and the choraleers. The acapella choir, made up of a select group of singers, then sang carols while standing in the shape of a Christmas tree and holding lighted candles to represent the ornaments. For the finale, Mrs. Hanson then called up the alum- ni choir to sing the Hallelujah Chorus . Junior Sheridan Pagan said, We put a lot of work into the performance and it really paid off. The only difference from last year's concert was that the show choir didn't perform because they didn't have enough time to rehearse. PARTYING IT UP. At the 2nd annual New Year's Eve party, sophomores celebrate as they bring in 1987. Bay High Brought in the New Year Two bands were set up in the East gym. There kids could dance to the great music. At midnight, confetti came down and Baby New Year, played by Scott Anderson, came out of Mr. Scott's office. The West gym was open and students could play virtually any sport they wanted. Movies were snown in the back of the auditorium while those who got hungry could get free food from the concession stand. Key club, T.I., the Laurie Wilder Fellowship, FCA and C.A.R.E. all sponsored this non-alcoholic approach to New Years. Each group had its special part in organizing the party. It was a good way to spend New Year's Eve. We all had lots of fun. It was worth all of the effort everyone put into it. said junior Jennifer Willis. WAITING TO TAKE THE STAGE. Before their December 16th Christmas concert, freshman Carri Kikol and sophomores Amy Caldwell and Jackie Rekstis discuss last minute details about the performance. December

 7fla©QQ Genesis Invisibly Touched Its Fans Genesis songs were in the air the night of the Invisible Touch concerts at the Coliseum in late January. Originally scheduled to perform only one night, the band added two extra performances to accommodate the number of fans who wished to attend. Because of the Super- bowl, the concert was post- poned for one hour on Sunday, the opening night. The band performed for two and a half hours each night and played a variety of old and new songs. During the second en- core, Genesis played a variation of Turn it On with excerpts of older songs by the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. It was a great way to end a great con- cert, remarked Julie Tomlinson. Concert souvenirs were sold for prices ranging from $3 for a button to $35 for a sweatshirt. By the second night, concession stands had already sold out of certain items. Whether students bought a souvenir or not, this was a concert that they would not forget. Broncos Bit Dogs Look who almost made it to the Superbowl . . . those bad, bad Cleveland Browns. Unfor- tunately, the Browns were leash- ed by the Denver Broncos in overtime. Although the Browns were winning in the fourth ?|uarter, the Broncos scored a leld goal to tie the game. Going into overtime, the Browns had THAT SPECIAL TOUCH. The day after attending the Invisible Touch concert, junior Mike Smith wears a Genesis t- shirt. Mike purchased the shirt for $17. possession of the ball. Unable to move the ball far enough down the field, the offense was forced to punt. After receiving the ball, the Broncos worked their way down the field. Once into field goal range, they kicked the win- ning goal ana won by three points, 23-20 Getting into the full Browns fever the day of the game, students either went to the stadium or had Browns parties at home. Senior Tom Germuska commented, I watched the game at Krissy Baird's house. I was all decked out with dog biscuits and a rubber dog nose. The cheering in her basement was louder than some basketball ames. I loved it, even if my eart was shattered that we lost. — M. Zukowski THE DAWG DAYS OF WINTER. Senior Chris Beckerman cheers on the dawgs during the final quarter of the Cleveland-Denver football game. This all-senior party was held at Krissy Baird's house. January
