Another success at Central started with the many involved students in the arts department. The Drama Club put on two plays throughout the year. Both plays had a big turn-out. “Our second play is very popular and so we are working very hard and are having many practices, so we got it all perfected for opening night,” said Debbie Dockett, who played major roles in each play. Drama teacher Mr. Serresseque and one of his loyal students, Mike Kegley, both played important roles in the Bay City Players, version of “On Golden Pond.” They did a tremendous job. The Art class also showed they had the BCC spirit as they participated in the Studio 23 Art Show. They also sold buttons during the week of Valentine’s Day and for the nurses when they were striking. They’ve done many other activities including the paintings on the windows uptown for Halloween and the sets for both plays. They did the backdrop for Band Bounce too. Next year they plan on painting walls at Washington School. Band members got into the swing of things by selling jackets to raise money for new uniforms, which were needed badly. They hope to have the new uniforms by next fall. It took music, acting, dance and a lot of know how to make the annual Band Bounce a perfect achievement. This year’s theme was “Music U.S.A.” There were many memorable moments for all who took part, but especially for those who are seniors. It was their last time to really get involved with the happenings at Central. 1. Eager band members practice for the upcoming Band Bounce. Mr. Neal Everson, Mrs. Lois Hodges, Mr. Frank Serresseque, and Mrs. Pat Serresseque were the teachers that have really helped the students a lot. 4 Arts

The only major set back there was during the year was the Zilwaukee bridge accident. During construction one section of the birdge sank several feet, causing a delay in completion of one year. Among the many great movies of the year were E.T., Tootsie, Gandhi, Sophie’s Choice, and Return of the Jedi, all of which millions of persons saw in the U.S. Some of the hot fads of the year were the Preps, Punkers and the New Wavers. It was cool to walk around with untied shoe laces and a stand up collar, while some persons tried to see who could wear the most shirts at one time. One highlight of the year that no one will forget was the mild winter. The only thing the students regretted about this was the lack of snow days. Many regretted waking up on Christmas day to a sunny 65 degrees. Michiganians were barbecuing and going for walks. As school closed for summer vacation, the spacecraft Pioneer left the solar system for its voyage in outer space. It may reach another star after the year 32,000.
