The year of 1986 never cooled down SIZZLING, BURNING, SCORCHING: The year of 1986 was definitely the HOTTEST YEAR YET! Students sizzled at the dances, in the classroom, on the job, and on the athletic field. They burned with curiosity, ambition, and hardwork. The scorching took place as Byron students competed with other schools, cheered at pep assemblies, and fought new school rules. The heat started with the opening of the school year as students registered for their classes in 90 degree tempera- tures. Even though school officials fixed the air conditioning to cool the air off, Byron students kept the heat on through the rest of the year. Even though the weather cooled for fall and winter, happenings around Byron didn’t cool down. The sports continued at a frenzied pace, the dances melted everyone’s resistance, the classroom temperatures soared with knowl- edge, and just hanging around in the commons or in the parking lot meant suffering under high temperatures. As spring arrived, not only did the sizzling continue, but it became even hotter as the end of the year approached. Each student’s tolerance of the high energy output was torn away as graduation day and last day of school neared. Outside temperatures warmed but Byron students kept the heat on with inside activities. The spring musical “Grease” kept everyone’s temperatures high, as well as Cabaret Night, and wrestling and track qualifiers for downstate competition. The school year 1985-1986 was the hottest year yet! — Introduction
