The trial and error phase of this time was very difficult. We had to find out not only who we were, but where and how we were going to fit in. The strong persevered, found themselves, and moved on. Al- though this transition was a small step in life, for freshmen it was a very large one. We were very proud and excited at the end of the year when finally we were promoted to sophomores. As sophomores, we were no longer “low” freshman, but one step higher on the educa- tional and social ladder. Sudden- ly new responsi- bilities and free- dom were presented to us and we were forced to learn how to success- fully cope with them. Learning to drive, getting a license and driving the fam- ily car assumed top priority in our lives. Our enthusiasm and spirit were apparent this year when we scored 1,455 points during the Spir- it Week class competition and won the school championship. But several lingering questions still remained: would our enthusiasm, class spint and motivation carry over into our junior year? We were determined that it would, but only time would tell.

It also included how wc spent our summers, weekends, the cars we drove, and the latest fads and fash- ions. The year flew by quickly. Weeks seemed like hours, months seemed like days. Mon- day. signaled the end of summer and the beginning for freshmen. Tuesday, was the beginning of fall sports with everyth- ing from fun- draisers to the start of great friend- ships. Wed- nesday. was Spirit Week where wc re- newed our pride and spint. Thurs- day. was the Spring Dance which re- united old and new acquaintances. Friday, wc expressed our opinions and enriched our minds. Saturday, was the end of twelve years for seniors and the beginning of adulthood. Sunday, signaled the beginning of the rest of our lives.

First we had Sweatshirt Day with everything from Run DMC to bunnies and pen- guins. Also on Monday was a Spelling Bee that was dominated by the Freshmen class. Tuesday followed with Mix- Matched Day with everything from stripes and plaids to wearing two different shoes. The cafe- teria also got the act by featuring a Pie Eating Contest with entries from each class digging into ei- ther chocolate or strawberry pies trying to be the first to finish. The sophomores managed to take the cake. “This was the best of the two Spirit Weeks I’ve ever been in. I wish we had them more often” exclaimed Sopho- more. Leslie Templeton. Junior Jamie Vallairc re- plied. “Spirit Week was exceptionally nice this year. I participated to the fullest. Wednesday was Twin Day with the halls filled with look ahkes making sure they were together as much as possible so they would be recognized as twins. Down by the track everyone had to stay alert or chance getting run over by a tricycle. Tricycles? Yes, tricycles. The junior class was the first to cross the finish line as the con- testants peddled on their three wheeled bikes for the tricycling contest. As you walked through the halls on Thursday, guys passed by dressed like girls, while girls were dressed as football players. Even teachers were dressed as witches and clowns. You knew it had to be Halloween. Then on to the gym to sec a basket- ball shootout which was dominated by the fresh- men as they demonstrated the most skill in this tense contest. Freshman, Susan Machray energetically re- plied. “It was the most en- thusiastic week of the school year.” The first four days were filled with fun and excite- ment as we geared up for the culminating event which we had all been waiting for! ...

Indian Spirit and Pride ■w h e per- fect end- ing to a fun- filled and exciting week had arrived. “Red Black Day with a Pep Rally 3rd hour gave the Varsity Football team encouragement and support for the big game against arch rival North- ern High School. Connie Shaw, a junior replied, “Pep Assemblies are so much fun. we should have one every friday before the game.” Hordes of students com- peted for seats next to their friends. The fresh- men. sophomores, juniors and seniors were formed into cheering sections to see who could cheer the loudest. As the gym con- tinued to fill, the spirit and enthusiasm began to overflow. “Go! fight! Win!” yelled the Fresh- men. “We’re going to fight to the end!” shouted the seniors. Each class was de- termined not to be out cheered. The gym was a mass of red and black, as the fans displayed their Indian Spirit and Pride. Adding a new and special touch to the excitement were powder puff cheer- leaders and mock football players. When the football team entered the room, they were wearing serious expressions and displaying a “strictly business” atti- tude. But, before the as- sembly was over, they had moved into their perspec- tive sections and were cheering wildly with their class. Reflecting on the rally, senior Jackie Frank- lin replied. “The pep as- sembly was very exciting but it was also a little sad because it was the last Pep Assembly at Central for me and the other seniors.” Cheering the team on. Sophomore, Monica Villarreal bragged. “I sat in the senior section be- cause it was more ‘alive’”. Smiles sparkled and the laughter roared. The spirit of winning engulfed us all. Next, the band put on a special show, not only playing, but dancing to a special “Wipe Out” beat. The crowd went wild. Sophomore, Paula Hood stated. “The best part of the Pep Assembly, in my opinion, was the band and the cheerleaders. The beat had the whole gym rockin’”. The Pep Assem- bly turned out to be everything we had expect- ed and more. The only thing left was to defeat Northern at Atwood Stadium. Sonya Martin Give Me AC.

Already we missed our friends although we were in the same room to- gether. Even though many of us promised to keep in touch and never grow apart, we real- ized that most of these friend- ships would fade. After remarks were given by the principal, Flint Board of Education Re- presentative, and the Superin- tendent of Flint Schools, proud parents and rel- atives eagerly awaited for “their graduate to walk across the stage. The event we had anticipated for years left us with mixed emotions. Some cried tears of joy while others cried tears of sadness. We re- alized that we were graduating from childhood and commenc- ing adulthood with all its re- sponsibilities and challenges. Graduation turned out to be the happiest and saddest day of our lives.

Season of Seasons II eyes are on the clock. Feet are tapping in anxious anticipation. Students are exchanging secret smiles. Finally, the bell rings and everyone charges out the door to begin summer vaca- tion! Each summer holds a different promise for each student, but al- most all agree it's their favorite season of seasons. No home- work, no responsibiliti- es. and just plain hav- ing fun are a few things students will mention when asked why they love summer. Sophomore Melissa Cooney claims. “I like summer because you can stay up late, get up late, and wear your bathing suit all day long. Andrea Sima, also a sophomore, revealed she likes summer because. “I feel real laid back and I don’t even have to think at all. Some students, when asked why summer is their favorite season got a little more specific, such as Dale Murray, a very free-spirited senior. Dale insisted that he likes sum- mer because. I can go waterskiing, wear my Bermuda shorts, and I can go get the paper in my un- derwear without freezing to death! No matter what plans are made or even if no plans are made at all, almost every student goes through the school year looking forward to sum- mer for their own special reasons.

A best friend, of course. Everyone knows the importance of friends. Some people have lots of friends, while others have only a few. Some students even have dif- ferent friends for dif- ferent occasions. Yet the highest and most prestigious friend is the best friend. A best friend worked extra hard to earn this es- teemed reputation. “A best friend is someone who likes you despite your differ- ences and problems. and will always be there for you. no mat- ter what.” commented junior. Katie Holm. Senior Chase Heath jokingly replied. “If you fall down a flight of stairs, a best friend is the person standing at the top laughing be- cause he knows he can get away with it.” “Me and my best friend have been to- gether since junior high school, remarked senior Deamphra Jones. Best friends have made up the best parts of our lives. Our memories will always include them. Best friends were there during the good times and the bad times. They helped make life grand.

Todays fashions are ... ANYTHING GOES re you c o m - polled to wear straight- leg jeans. Do your friends dictate to you what’s in, what’s out, what's hot. what’s not? Fads enter our lives, whether we are trying to mock someone else or implant our own style. Some of the most note worthy fads this year were, Louie Vuitton hats and clutch bags, friendship bracelets, col- lege sweatshirts, and Guess jeans. Junior. Kim Hughes comments, “Regular blue jeans are definitely out and acid- wash blue jeans are in.” The clothes we wear tell others a lot about our per- sonality as well as our lifestyles, whether we are very quiet and mild or wild and entertaining. In the past, we found our- selves falling into certain fads and finding it very difficult to climb out. Even though her mother disagreed, senior, Shelean Williams confided, “When everyone started getting two or more earrings in one ear. I decided 1 had to as well.” Eddie Baker, a junior, re- plied. ”1 fell into the fad of carrying a Louie Vuitton handbag, with the hat to match. On the other hand, we of- ten find those who dare to be different. Sitting Indian style in a school chair with a blue denim jacket with safety pins down her arms and across her back, senior. Kim Brown, who calls herself a non- conformist, confided. “I never fell into a certain fad because I like to be different. Years from now, when we look back in this year- book. we’ll probably laugh at all of the hairstyles and fashions and wonder, “did we actually wear that?!” In many ways we will see how fads changed and influenced our lives. The main question will be did fads control us? Sonya Martin LEADING THE PACK, are three of the hottest styles in shoes this sea- son— Troops. British Knights, and Bass Deck shoes.

Stu- dents with am- bition and an empty bank account pursue all possi- ble help wanted notices. Whether in the newspaper or a shopping mall, teen- agers seek jobs ranging from stocking shelves, to selling clothes. No matter who you talk to. students had basically the same re- sponse. Senior Lori Kluender. who worked as a telephone solicitor, said she hated repeating. “Hi, my name is Lori. I’m from the Exchange Club of Flint, how arc you tonight?” Monique Wallace a soph- omore who works at Ra- dio Shack remarked, “I hate it when people expect you to read their minds and know what they want.” Sophomore Jenny Hulbert, who worked at Ron’s Ice Cream Parlor commented, “It was fun, except on weekends when there was a crowd of peo- ple.” Central’s Job Training and Career Planning program, headed by Mrs. Patncia Atwater and Mrs. Billie Fisher help students in their quest for jobs. Stu- dents obtained jobs in the private and public sector according to State Government Income Eli- gibility Requirements and their own personal needs. According to Mrs. Atwater, “The program’s goal is to help students maintain their grades, while working at a pan time job. With an average number of seventy students, the group meets after school twice a week to review resumes, applications, interviews, etiquette, self- awareness, and values. ' ’’The most important thing for a young person to learn while attending school is responsibility. A part time job often helps in this process.” com- mented Mrs. Billie Fisher. There are people working at the Social Security Of- fice. Buck’s Flowers, The 68th District Court and the ever popular, McDonalds. “If you have the patience, determina- tion. and you let the em- ployer know you want the job,” states senior John Hill, “it’s easy to get a job.” If you arc willing to work and need some extra cash, you may want to visit the Job Training Program As- sociation Office (JTPA) in room 301A and get some information; it will help you edge out the competi- tion.

The time we have all been waiting for. Now you are found with the question of where shall we go? What shall we do? This has been the important question for Hint teens since many of the teen attractions were closed last year due to violence and fi- nancial difficulties. Teenagers were able to go to International Skating Rink. Hall Parties at the Ukraman or Kishmagrotto. dances at Our Lady of Lebanon Church and various other teen activities until they folded, leaving students asking what can we do? This year Hint area businesses have set out to reverse this situation by creating clubs exclusively for high school students. Central students attend the Mikatam Teen Connection which has video screens and dance floors, the CLC Express skating rink which also has a dance floor, the county wide high school dances at the Capitol Theatre on Saturday nights, or concerts at the Capitol Theatre called Hall Shows. Different students have different places designated as their hang-out and others attend all freely. Lori Mayo stated The Mikatam can be fun if you go on Friday night with a lot of friends. Senior, Darlene Tolbert prefers the CLC Teen Express. She remarked, Everybody's there on Sunday nights from 7:00 p.m.—12:00 mid. plus they have a dance floor as well as a skating rink,” Shannon Tolbert, a junior agreed, I like the CLC because there's always lots of people there. Other students attend the All Area High School parties at the Capitol. They are dcc-jayed by a Central alumni and a wide variety of people attend them. Sophomore Jay Joseph stated. “They always play the kind of music I like and there is always a lot of peo- ple. It’s just a good time.’ Junior DeDe Phillips likes to go to the Hall Shows. “On occasion when the Capitol isn’t being used for Def Jam teen dances they have shows. I like the live music and hey. it’s where all the truely groovey people go. Some students prefer to avoid the whole teen music concept. Sophomore. Russell Carson remarked. “I just like to go to the University of Michigan-Flint campus and play basketball.” Senior Kim Brown also shuns teen dances. She says whenever she tries to think of something social to do. she usually chooses to go to Showcase Cinema and sec a movie. She slated. I like to sit m the dark. Movies are entertaining and they help me forget about the bordem that lurks elsewhere in the city. Although students still express the need for more teen outlets, they all agree that the current ones are a welcome alternative to sitting in front of the television for the entire weekend.

Cafeteria Shaping The Mold For those who love the taste of homemade meals, country fried chicken, potatoes topped with gravy and hot vegetables, the cafeteria will ... Fit The Hitt omc and get it! These words arc heard ev- ery after- noon before lunch. Lunch periods arc divided into three schedules, A.B. and C, and they provide stu- dents with everything from tacos to coney dogs. English teacher Mrs. Ma- jor claims to enjoy A lunch much better be- cause. “I get too hungry by C lunch and by then most of the food is gone.” A calendar lists the menu for the month. Extras sup- plied on special days consist of cookies, ice cream, fruits and some- times even candy. A variety of salads are provided for the light eat- ers. with fruit cups as side dishes. “I like the cafeteria mainly because of the wide selections of foods that are available.” sopho- more Michelle Miller commented. For those who love the taste of homemade meals, country fried chicken, po- tatoes topped with gravy and hot vegetables the cafeteria fits the bill. Hot fnes arc usually sided with hamburgers, tacos, ham and cheese sandwiches, fish sandwiches, and even lasagna. New this year were the cold sandwiches and the tossed salad. “I just like the salads and (Linda’s) coneys,” ad- mitted English Teacher Mr. Salmon. Regardless of your tastes, the cafeteria offers some- thing for everyone.

SANDWICHED IN A TIGHT parking spot in an attempt to get to class on time is senior Dennis Weaver. Although driving carries a great deal of responsibility, we would be nowhere without. . . A Set Of Wheels Whether in school or out on the town, students agree that cars are a neces- sity in life. Driving has be- come very important be- cause of the many responsibilities required during high school. Some students attend the Skills Center or other magnet schools and do not like to nde the bus. Others have jobs or participate in ex- tracurricular activities. For these people, a car means everything. What- ever the case, we're all aware of the importance of transportation. For those who drive to school, there is a sense of adulthood associated with getting the car instead of rushing to the bus stop. Although driving is plea- surable. it can also cause pain and grief. There arc obstacles such as limited parking, and car pooling which can make you late for school. The student parking lot is generally filled by 7:25 a m. A num- ber of students have been involved in traffic acci- dents in the parking lot re- sulting from rude and careless driving. 1 was shook up and afraid to drive for two weeks after being hit in the parking lot. 1 don’t think that I will ever drive up here again. explained sophomore Lori Mayo. Senior Robert Smith re- ported “While I was in class, a hit and run driver ran into the side of my car causing over a thousand dollars in damage and I never found out who did it. Many students complain about the teacher’s parking lot. which is close to the door and never filled to capacity. Junior. Kaycc Shepard complained, One day 1 was late for my first hour class so I was forced to park in the teacher's parking lot because the student’s parking lot was filled. At the end of the day when I went out to my car there was a huge sticker plastered over the driver’s side of my windshield. It took me over two hours to scrape it off of my window.” Although driving carries a great responsibility, we would be nowhere without a set of wheels. So don’t be irresponsible, learn the rules of the road and drive carefully before you arc struck by the MTA Blues. Sonya Martin Transportation Shaping The Mold!

OIn the past, teenagers were ste- reotyped as lazy, potatoe chip eating, pop driking. junk food junkies. Today, with the recent health food craze sweep- ing the nation. Central’s students are ’’thinking thin”. Students are just as concerned about develop- ing their physical appear- ance as they arc about their mental capabilities. Junior. Melody Fowler stated. “Even if diet and exercise doesn’t help me physically, it gives me mental reassurance.” STOPPING AT THE LO- CAL 7-11 to buy a Super Slurpee and a bag of potatoe chips is magnet student Mark Murphy. Diets and Exercise Shaping The Mold! Keeping fit is not simply for personal satisfaction it has also become a vital part of school activities and extracurricular in- volvement. Whether for sports, dance, drama, or simply to feel good, stu- dents are doing what they must to keep in shape. Junior Mike Panoff who is a member of the Soccer, Swim, and Tennis teams emphathized, “One must put fourth a daily effort if they want to excel in sports.” Mike uses proper diet and exercise to keep up his pace. Magnet student, Mike Rensburger, also on the Swim team, follows his coach’s diet of bran muffins, apple juice, granola, fresh fruits and of course Halo Burgers. He says. “To swim 5000-6000 yards a day at practice, re- quires proper nutrition.” His favorite meal before a meet is Lean Cuisine Chicken Oriental. Sophomore Dana Cooper who is also a dancer, prac- tices four hours a day, four days a week to keep her muscles in shape. She pointed out, “It takes time and discipline to put on a quality performance in front of an audience.” Senior. Bill Yoder had to lose thirty pounds for his portrayal of Hal Carter in Central’s production of “Picnic . Bill expressed, “To an actor, physical ap- pearance is just as vital as his interpretation of a character.” Since that per- formance he has kept the weight off successfully. When asked how he did it, he simply stated. ”1 do what I have to do to look good.” No matter what the reason for dieting, stu- dents agree that good health is the key to a bet- ter you.

Finally, turning off your alarm clock, you make your way to the bathroom, only to discover that the hot water is gone and has turned ice-cold. You’re wondering what else could possibly go wrong.

You put on your coat, grab your books, and run towards the door, only to discover that everyone has disappeared and you have missed the bus. Although there arc complaints about over- crowded buses, everyone has to admit that buses are probably one of the easiest and most efficient ways of getting to school. Yet, there are people who prefer not to ride the big yellow school bus. “I hate riding the bus be- cause the bus driver al- ways takes off before you get a chance to sit down. She rides over every curb and hits all of the bumps in the road making your books fly all over the place.” complained senior Anita Riley. Expressing an opposite view point was sopho- more Dawn Price who staled. “I enjoy nding the school bus because my bus driver is so cool. I joke around with him a lot and it’s fun riding to and from school talking with my friends.” Sophomore Tim Eckel commented. “I like the bus because sometimes I can sleep on the way to school.” “I only ride the bus about once a week.” admitted sophomore Alphonso Talley, “all of the other times I get a ride with one of my friends.

Winning City, Re- gional and State Championships has always been one of the num- ber one priorities for the Indians. Every team gave it their all to retain or capture trophies and bnng them to their rightful resting place, at Central High School. Our victories would not have been complete without the support of the fans who cheered the team on to victory. Al- though many supporters did not know the difference between a field goal or a slam dunk, they certainly knew how to show their the end zone for the winning touchdown. Another incident occured during the City Swim Competi- tion at LaVoic Ficldhousc. The battle this time was between Central and Flint Southwestern. The meet was close when suddenly the Central swimmers be- gan to rocket through the water, inspired again by our spirited fans. As we fondly look back on these exciting events we realize how much sports activities have intensified our school spirit and our lives.

Girls Varsity Softball The 1987 Varsity Softball team has set some goals for their new season which begins on April 7th. Coach Calvo said that the two main goals were “to be able to win a district and place among the top teams in the Valley. The team is very confident on winning the city title, which, by the way. they have won for four years straight. This season, their toughest opponent was Bay City Western, because they de- feated the Indians in the Valley playoffs and they have many veteran players on the team. Central’s team is very fortunate to have a coach who has a lot of experience. Coach Margania Calvo, who lived in Cuba, grew up surrounded by softball. Her family members encouraged her to play when she was very young, and she continued to play through high school. Coach Calvo is very proud of her coaching. She stated, “Pm very happy just coaching softball. I'm not into it for the money therefore, I would only coach a sport where my knowledge would be passed on to my players so they can profit from their experiences and do better elsewhere.” She also ex- plained. “I select my players through open try-outs for everyone interested in joining softball. And each player must meet three main criteria: Good Grades. Good attitudes, and Ability. Mental preparation is as important as physical preparation and each player on the team has a different strategy for mentally preparing themselves. Senior Maureen Lyon, who plays second base, said, “loosening my muscles and eating as much as I can, mentally prepares me for my game. Senior Lisa Tomai, who plays right field takes another approach for men- tally preparing herself. “Sitting down and telling myself what I have to do and what the team has to do to win.” Leadership on a team is very impor- tant. The role of the captain is to provide that leadership. If one is to do this, one must have a good and positive attitude, motivation, encouragement of the team, and the ability to build confidence in the team members. If the Central Softball team combines its talents with Coach Calvo’s require- ments, this season should be extremely rewarding.

Varsity Baseball Strengthening The Mold! Varsity Baseball With a new coach and new players, the Varsity Baseball team was in the process of reorganizing. Because the 1986 team was comprised solely of sen- iors, the coach, Jerry Lane has to cope with players of whom only a few have varsity experience: Vince Bisbee. Larry Birmingham, and Junior Molina. The Indians were not favored to win the city title, but in a close game with Northern, the Indians managed to sweep the Vikings 10-3, 9-5, and won the city championship for the seventh year in a row. The team’s primary goals were to win the city title and end the season with a winning record. The team deals with defeat by putting the defeat behind them. Moreover, it deals with setbacks by realizing its mistakes vow- U ■ f V ing to correct them. Most of the players agree that their toughest opponent was themselves however, in reality. Midland Dow proved to be the tough- est year each year. Although the task was difficult, the Indians pulled through and helped the Varsity Baseball team continue the tradition of excellence.

The Flint Central boys track team had high expectations after the previous sea- son when they were the city champs and runner up for the Saginaw Valley Conference Title. They lost key runners from the city champion team of 1986 and had to rely on runners with little competitive experience. Due to this fact, the track team's record was 4-1 in dual meets and it lost the city title that had been held by Central for the last three years. Adrian Robert- son was the best runner of the 1987 team. Robertson was the only runner to qualify for the state track meet, he was the runner up in the city championship in the 800 meter run. and he was the team’s leading scorer. Nate Lewis was runner up in the 300 meter low hurdles. Lamell Sykes was the runner up in the 110 meter high hurdles, and Robert Munoz was runner up in the 2 mile. The 1988 track season will be another rebuilding year for coach Mike Vance because key members arc graduating this year. But the team has up and com- ing runners that are very talented. Look for the Indians to regain the city title in the very near future. Lori Mayo 5-1 Record Us Them Sag. Arthur Hill 83-54 Northern 73-64 B.C. Central 71-65 Pon.

Every ball that came over the net seemed to go straight through the hole in my racket. But this was still the first set—we had a long time to come back. The first set score was 2-6, favoring the opponent. We took the second set with a score of 6-3. The third set would decide the win- ner. After a ten minute break. I returned to the court with a loose, sweaty grip on my raquet. My partner and I gave each other a hug for good luck and took our places. As we looked around, we saw that our other teammates were all fin- ished. The team score was 3-3; our game score would win or lose the match. As the pressure of the game increased, so did the clouds. After two games— with the score tied at 1-1, it began to rain. We would have to wait, and play on the first day that both teams would be able to play. It seemed this happened a few too many times during the 87-88 ladies ten- nis season. Some games were left unplayed, others were played and won. and still others were lost. The ladies season ended with the Indians capturing the 1987 City Championship. The tennis team seems to have a sense of “family”. As fresh- man Kathy Myatt said, “Everyone made me feel like pan of the team.” Team C aptain Katen Kerwin felt the team “stuck by one another through thick and thin.“ Winning awards at the banquet were: katen Kerwin—Most valuable player.

CHEERLEADING Waking up early everyday and working extremely hard to attain physical fitness, positive attitudes, and wonder- ful friendships aided both the Varsity and the Junior Varsity cheerleading squad for another year of fun and ex- citement. Anticipated victories and tru- ly outstanding spirit added to the plea- sures of the season. After try-outs, the new 1987-88 cheerleaders had to imme- diately begin preparing for the new sea- son by attending a cheerleading camp at Michigan State in July. The fun never stopped although sweat and exhaustion soaked through their bones. They walked to the practice area with weary bodies and aching feet where they worked out strenuously in the cen- ter of the huge Spartan Stadium. After the long. hard, energy consuming week of camp, the final day ended with an intense competition. Resulting in Cen- tral’s Varsity and J.V. squads placing fourth overall. The school year began with a team of veterans as well as rookies which brought tension as well as expectations of a promising future. Although there were cold and dismal games the spirit warmed the squads. While on the subject of warmth, this year the Varsity squad was blessed with brand new uni- forms which not only looked good and matched perfectly with the boys basket- ball warm-ups. but also managed to keep the cheerleaders warm on chilly winter evenings. After cheering endlessly for football teams, the squads gave additional support to the Girls Basketball team Sound exhausting? It was, yet the squads maintained the energy to keep the Indian Spirit alive throughout the entire basketball season. When asked about the most exciting thing that hap- pened during her first year on the squad, sophomore, Carrie Taylor repli- ed, “Well there were so many exciting moments. I can’t really distinguish be- tween them, but the van rides to and from the away games were very special.” Although this year was strenuous and seemed to last forever, the lrreplacable memories, both good and bad. always linger on and will never fade.

It was the last game of the season with the city championship title on the line. When the game got underway. Senior Daniel Lay returned the opening kick- off for a 30-yard gain. The fireworks started in the second quarter when the defensive team held the Vikings to only 20 yards. In the first three minutes of the second quarter, Senior Robert Smith heaved a “hail mary pass that was short. Sophomore Jay Green doubled back, caught the pass, and ran the last 25 yards for a T.D. Late in the third quarter, wide receiver Jay Greene caught a 5 yard pass, started up the sideline, and was hit by a Viking linebacker who caused him to fumble the ball. This turnover gave the Vikings new life. They were now on their 25 yard line and quarterback Terrence Jones handed off to Brent Dulany who then scooted around the right end for a 25 yard touchdown. Late in the fourth quarter, as Northern drove toward an apparent touchdown. Jones went back for a pass. He threw the ball in the di- rection of Chad Brown, but he didn’t notice the Indian, senior Laron Bums, who stepped in front of the pass for an interception which gave Central’s team new life. After that, the team ran a cou- ple of unsuccessful plays. It was now 3rd and 8, Robert Smith threw a com- pleted pass to junior Harold Hale for 15 yards and a 1st down. Next the tribe tned to run a trick play, Robert Smith attempted to throw a lateral pass to Jay, who then threw it to Harold, but the ball was over thrown. On the 4th down with 18 seconds left, Robert Smith amazingly threw a 36 yard touchdown pass. Flint Central then became City Champs and Flint Northern became City “Chumps .

It was a rebuilding year for the 1987 Varsity Soccer team and Coach Tom Saxton was replaced by Coach Mike Wilson. The season, which started in March and ended in May, was a little shaky because there were not very many returning lettermcn. Kendra Porter, a senior and the goalie for the team, commented. “My most exciting moment was when we played against Saginaw Eisenhower. I saved a lot of balls and got kicked in the eye. I was injured and could not finish the end of the season, causing coach Mike Wilson to switch people around to fill the positions.” Midfielder, senior Sabrina Tinsley, commented, “While I was playing, all of my schoolwork and stresses were for- gotten. and I was able to keep in shape and have fun.” Expressing her opinion on the team. Lisa Rolison stated. “I think the team has the potential to take it all the way to state next year.” “Since the girls are young, they will have a chance to rebuild and learn to play as a team,” coach Mike Wilson added. “Our season next year looks very promising.” Tracie Tremewan KEEPING DEFENSIVE PRESSURE on two opponents from Grand Blanc are seniors Cindy Taylor and Peyton Manley.

The girls team, whose season started Aug. 17 and ended November 2, knew that their toughest opponent would be Northern. The team also knew how to prepare themselves for the worst—defeat. If the team was defeated, they would try to recognize their weaknesses and mis- takes and then correct them. At the end of the season. Earnesto Wil- liams was voted most spirited and most valuable. Lisa McElwain was voted most dedicated, and Carrie Lee was voted most improved.

There isn’t much in the way of a team pep talk, runners have to give them- selves their own personal pep talk since Cross-Country is an individualized sport.

Junior Cindy Henderson replied. “Our toughest competition was against Hint Northern.” “The reason I enjoy playing Volleyball so much,” replied junior, Eamesto Wil- liams “is because it's fun and exciting.” Amy McElwain added. “Volleyball is very challenging and competitive.” Team work and tough practices were the key to our success. As long as we stick together as a team it will always remain fun and exciting. Loni Mayo 10-3 Record B.C. Western B.C. Central Southwestern Northwestern Northern Midland Dow Sag.

However, the Indians did manage a share of the City Title with a 5-1 record. Leading the team in scoring were senior Greg Houston and sophomore Jacquonc Greene with 505 and 363 points respectively. Serving as a main- stay in the line-up was sophomore. Cal- vin Bransford who gave strong support in the rebounding department. Senior Reggie Batson and Jacquonc Greene alternated point-guard responsibilities, leading in assists. Receiving All-State Honors was senior. Greg Houston. After two wins over Northwestern, the Indians came up flat for the third meeting with the Wildcats, losing in District Play. This was the earliest exit from State Tournament Play in over 10 years. This was a big disappointment for the players, but the team will benefit by having three of the starting line-up returning. Sonya Martin 15-7 Record Us—The Carman Ains. 90-42 Powers 84-66 B.C.

You think to yourself, how can I do this and maintain a social life? The answer is Cliffs Notes. Cliffs Notes have been a way out of the literary bind for years. Genera- tions of high school students have passed their Cliffs Notes on to un- derclassmen. Those who don't fall in line to inherit the legacy of Cliffs Notes begin their own legacy by go- ing to their local bookstore and purchasing a copy of the yellow and black genius for a mere $3.75. The fortunate holders of the “legacy” get the added bonus of highlighted pas- sages and notes of interest. Cliffs Notes can be more or less helpful depending on how you use them. Junior, Stacy Garland remarked, “Cliffs Notes are very helpful if you have trouble comprehending a book. Kari Neil, another junior, agreed. “They’re great! They help a lot!” As students discover the benefits of Cliffs Notes, the obvious abuse of Cliffs Notes follows closely. Junior, Dana Cooper stressed, “Cliffs Notes are no substitute for the actual literature.” Melody Fowler agrees, “Cliffs Notes arc dumb! If you’d just read the book, you’d know what it was about!” Junior, John Fineten argued, “Cliffs Notes are not meant as an escape for reading the book but to enhance it.” To others. Cliffs Notes are a way of life. Senior, Mike Rensburgcr laughed as he replied, “I should get a subscription to Cliffs Notes the way I use them.” Cliffs Notes may be used by differ- ent students in different ways, but all agree, when in the literary bind, they’re a lifesaver.

This phrase echoes throughout the halls when the weekend arrives. Friday marks the first day of partying, movies, basketball games, or simply lying around the house. The weekend gives students two days of relaxation and time to do things that arc impossible to do during the week. Sophomore Kenta Davis enthusiastically replied. “On the weekends I go out and party, or just hang around with my girlfriends and talk about boys.” Junior Kon Carson commented. “I like weekends because it gives me time to relax, spend time with my friends and family and watch car- toons on Saturday mornings.” ”1 enjoy the weekends because it’s the only two days of the week that I don’t have to think!” expressed sophomore Tangie Fry. Cynthia Eaglin. also a sophomore admitted. “I like weekends because it gives me a chance to go shopping with my mother and spend her money.” It does not matter whether you spend your weekends partying or just using the time as a relaxation period; weekends are always some- thing to look forward to!

Some call it annoying and ugly, some call it original artwork. But whether it is simple doodling on a school desk or flat out spray painting a wall, everyone agrees that grafTiti has become a way of life. Everywhere you look there are always interesting drawings, most often as- sorted and sometimes distorted faces. Or there’s the infamous matter-of-fact statements of “John loves Jane, or Bill was here.” Sometimes these deve- lop into famous quotable poems that you can simply fill in with your name. Then there’s always the philo- sophical graffiti protesting either po- litical or social situations. No matter what form, most people will agree that graffiti is fun, origi- nal, and sometimes even mysterious, considering the fact that most grafitu is anonymous. Sophomore. Nattaly Adams has an ultimate dream about grafitti; “I think it would be real cool if one day they let everyone bnng a can of spray paint to school and let us decorate the walls as long as we didn’t write anything obscene, that would be so beautiful.” Others have more negative opinions about graffi- ti. Senior, Craig Neumann replied “it’s tacky, and disrespectful to oth- er students. It seems as though they are just trying to get back at someone.” Robert Kirk, a junior, considers himself more neutral on the subject. Robert stated, “Basically, it's just a way for people to express their opin- ions.” Although graffitti will continue to be a controversial subject, most people will agree that graffiti will just plain continue.

Even though you worked hard those last few days of class, you were not sure if you were able to pull up your grades. As a means of buffering the shock, sophomore. Vickie Griesc stated. “Whenever I know my report card is coming. I start preparing my mom for my grades”. Tom Hall, a junior commented, “I'm in full anticipation to see how I compared with my peers”. Jennifer McCann, a sophomore add- ed. “I always get to the mailbox first, and if my grades arc good I’ll show my dad, if they are bad. I’ll show my mom.” Expressing his opinion, freshman George Wolbcrt remarked. “Nobody will believe it, but I don’t really care. The grading system is just someone's opinion of how I perform!” You know the feeling you get when your report card arrives in the mail. So ask your teachers to tell you your grades before the death slip amves. But the most important thing to remember is. don’t let your parents get to the mailbox before you do.

Can’t live down A BAD REPUTATION yoT as long any of us can Mm remember. Mondays have M w had a reputation as the JL worst day of the week. Whether it’s missing the school bus. failing a test, or getting detention, it seems like the worst events always occur on Mondays. What makes it such a bad day? Could it be because it’s the beginning of another week of school? Is it because you can’t get to sleep until late Sunday night, which causes you to be very tempted to just stay in bed? “Everyone always looks so sleepy.” replied junior Quita Turner, “all you can do is just sit and listen. Sophomore. Jenny Beck comment- ed. “Mondays are the start of a five- day reality.” This seems a fitting de- scription. On weekends you are free to do as you wish, without having to worry about being in class, taking a test, or answering a teachers impossible questions. On the other hand, the freedom of weekends seem to cause an even more negative reaction to Mondays. As Amy Durga puts it, “I hate Mondays because you’re always really run down after all that partying over the weekend.” Melissa Cooney also voiced an opinion shared by many others when she stated, “Mondays are sim- ply the longest day of the week; they seem to go on forever.” But no matter how rough it gets, hang on. because in ninety-six hours, friday will be here again!

You’re awaiting the test that may determine your educa- tional future ... The ACT Test. The American College Test, or ACT, is a college entrance examina- tion required by most colleges for admission. It’s a test based on the compilation of everything learned in high school. The scores arc graded on a scale from one to thirty-five, with thirty-five being the highest. Students have varied views on tak- ing the ACT test because test results arc not always true to academic per- formance. Nevertheless, the four hour ACT test which covers English. History. Math, and Science is used by more colleges than any other. Senior. Kim Scott expressed, “It was a grueling experience, all those bubbles were mind boggling. I think it drained me of every bit of knowl- edge I’ve gotten out of high school.” Senior Tonya Jackson agreed. “The test was hard. Some of the things on it were things we never learned.” Many schools in the Flint area have set up a series of workshops to help students successfully pass the ACT. Junior. Eric Farr claimed. “Without the workshop I would have been lost. It gave me the confidence I needed to get through the test. Sen- ior Ann Prokos expressed another view. “So much of the test was triv- ia. I just wanted to get finished and go home. To me it was no great challenge.” The ACT test has become more im- portant to students as the years progress, with the number of stu- dents increasing who attend college, the competition is greater and the higher your score the better your chance. One good thing about the ACT test is you can take it over as many times as needed. For some, it is the ticket to your future.

Get Smart Quick Schemes jm s you glance up at the clock, you realize that it is now 1:30 a.m. and you're JL JL not even midway through the two hundred pages of notes you had to memorize for the Social Studies test tomorrow. Realizing this, you once agains curse yourself for not having studied in advance and letting everything pile up. There seems to be a universal trait among teenagers to cram for exams. Why do they do it? Melanie UpdegrafT. a junior, says her problem is. “Even though I know it’s better to study in advance. 1 always end up cramming due to lack of time. Some students believe that cramming for exams can actually be to their advantage. “I have to cram for some tests be- cause I know if I study before hand. I'll never remember it all,” says ju- nior, Amy Eiscn. Benjamin Cain insists. “When I cram, I feel like my brain is working faster and I have the ability to learn more.” Well, to each his own!

Loose Change Got change for a dollar? Can I borrow a quarter? Would you loan me 50 cents? These arc ques- tions heard by students as they head toward the vending machines—a remarkable innovation for providing quick snacks. Most students use the vending machines and are happy that they are available. Students say the machines are quick, convenient, and contain the snacks they like Many people say they use the machines on a regular basis, like sophomore Bruce Jarrard who claims. “I use them twice ev- eryday. ’ The most popular item among stu- dents are pop. candy, chips and cakes. On the other hand, teachers such as Mrs. Major and Mrs. Parola admit that they frequently use the juice machines but rarely use the snack machines, except when a chocolate attack strikes. Although the vending machines have generally pleased students, neg- ative comments are sometimes heard. “I like the vending machines but they are always so crowded.” ex- plained sophomore Gina Conrad. “The machines won’t always take dollar bills.” shouted sophomore Lori Mayo. Adding to the complaints, sophomore Annette Powers remarked. “I wish they would add diet 7-up.” In spite of all the negative com- ments vending machines are still ex- tremely popular. So ask your parents and friends to save their loose change for you and remember, don’t leave home without it!

Sophomore Trina Lewis admitted, I have a bad habit of laughing too much. I laugh at everything, even when it’s not funny.

Vet. there is w W one test that means more to us than any other; the Pro- motion Graduation Requirement or PGR test. From the first through the eighth grades, the PGR test deter- mines whether or not we are re- tained or promoted to the next grade. After we enter senior high school we are only required to pass the PGR test once in order to gradu- ate. Senior Annette Carson expressed ap- prehension when she replied, “I was more worried about passing the PGR than I was about the American College Test or ACT Test. You have more chances to pass the ACT than the PGR.” Junior Lanique Banks, replied. “I was nervous about taking the PGR Test because 1 wanted to graduate with my class and not be left be- hind. The PCJR Test requires students to pass minimal requirements in Eng- lish and Math. If you learned and mastered the skills taught in the last eight years of your education, you will not have any problem passing the Promotion Graduation Require- ment Test. So just relax, take a deep breath and get a good night sleep be- fore you tackle the PGR test. Sophomores Making The Mold! ast Minute Looks! Did you ever wake up late, look in the mirror, and ask yourself, do I really have to go to school today? You search through your closet and drawers, only to dis- cover that you have nothing to wear. The last thing you want to do is go to school, but you realize that you have six tests and twelve papers due and if you skip you’ll flunk. You throw on the first thing in sight and go to school. When asked. “What is your favorite last minute attire?” senior. Lisa McLean replied. “I wear black be- cause it matches everything, it’s safe that way.” Other students prefer a more common match, like jeans and a sweatshirt. Junior Amy Eisen stat- ed, “I wear jeans and a sweatshirt and throw my hair up in a pony tail so no one knows how it really looks.” John Finiteri and Kim Love agreed. “Sweatshirts are the easiest because you don’t have to iron them.” Some students take less fuss with their last minute look than oth- ers. Freshman. Dan Shulman repli- ed. “I wear whatever’s on the floor, even if it’s yesterday’s, but 1 always wear clean undershorts.” Senior Paxton MacDermaid had a more original approach. He boasted, “Whether it takes me five minutes or five hours. I’m still my rugged self.” Junior Dan Collick hastened to say, “I just wear Levi’s and a skate shirt.” We can conclude, after exploring various students wardrobes that it’s important to have jeans and sweatshirts available if you insist on ignoring your alarm clock to get those few extra minutes of sleep.

Some follow the trends, others are more conservative, but the ones who get the most publicity and criti- cism are those who are eccentric and out of the ordinary. Mel: OK Muffy.—so what if they can't understand my clothes! I never asked them to. The way I dress is me! Tracey: Some people express their dissatisfaction with the way things arc by being violent or destructive, I don't understand that. If we do dress strange or have strange hair- cuts. I don’t see anything wrong with that. By being different, we’re just expressing discontent with things. If people have problems with that. I’d say they have severe prob- lems that go way beyond narrow- minded opinions. Mel: Why complicate life any further? Just accept. The dialogue you have just read was between juniors. Mel Fowler and Tracey Nelson who are just two of the “usual” people walking down the halls. There is more to it than just expressing yourself. It’s fun and ex- citing. It's the ultimate way to achieve freedom, and after all, isn’t that what all teenagers want? The favorite hang-out for the “usu- al” people is at Hall shows—small parties where hordes of those stu- dents go to socialize, slam- dance thrash. and listen to under- ground bands. Even if there is a difference in their appearance, they are still people too. So. don’t snicker at them when they walk down the halls, who knows, your kids might turn out just like them.

Freshman Follies Each September you see them wan- dering the halls aimlessly. Clutching their schedules desperately in their hands, you can tell by the blank confusion on their faces that they’re freshmen. Each year upperclassmen are given a chance to see history made. To cre- ate or simply witness the ultimate freshman blunder. As we look back, we can think of the time Mark Grossman accidentally set a trash can on fire, or the time James Griffle wiped out twenty minutes of dialogue in “Butterflies are Free” during the play because he forgot to ring the phone! Others re- member the expression on Mike PanofTs face when he woke up in the wrong class but didn’t realize it for almost ten minutes. These are just a few of the mistakes made by freshmen that will always be remembered. Other times, upperclassmen instigated the blunders. Magnet stu- dent, Devon Shurte divulged. “I once told a freshman that only sen- iors could use the swimming pool and sold him my SENIOR POOL PASS for a dollar because I needed gas money.’’ Junior. Mel Fowler re- vealed. “Our freshman class hid all the chairs in Mr. Nassifs room and sat on the floor.” Other class pranks included an unknown who replaced Mr. Ramsdell's video of World Culture with “Pee Wee’s Big Adven- ture.” Junior. Brant Shimko shared, “At the Mt. Morris swimming relays earlier this year, a Southwestern freshman fell into the pool during the National Anthem.” Now that the year is over, you can look back at your mistakes and laugh. A new group will arrive in September and their chance will come.

Lock It Up! Lurking inside students’ lockers, are gym shoes, popcans and last year's book repons. For some, it’s a neat storage area for your belongings and occasionally your friends. For oth- ers. it's simply a metal box with a door. Many students stuff the strangest things inside their lockers. Junior Patncia Bergquist admitted. “I hid a gcrbil inside my locker for three days without anyone finding out.” “My Cabbage Patch doll was missing for two weeks. confided, freshman Nicole Yarbrough. “I finally found it under a pile of books in my locker.” Many students complain about the lack of space in lockers. Others com- plain that there are too many people in their lockers or they are too far away from their classes. Sophomore. Sonya Wallace replied. My locker reminds me of my purse, it’s just too small to hold everything I want. Junior, Chense Key admitted My locker is so far away, it makes me late for most of my classes.” Sophomore, Cherise Blake, complained, there are four people in my locker and with only two hooks for coats, two coats don’t fit.” So whether you use your locker as a storage shed or you have to go to the main office to find out your combination, lockers are still a good place to keep your belongings.

Only a few more weeks and it’s PARTY TIME! It’s unbelievable that we’ve attended school for so many years. We’ve heard and wit- nessed all of the good things that happen when you become a senior. Taking senior pictures, ordering announcements, the senior prom, commencement and graduation. But we have also heard rumors of an affliction called SENIORITIS. For some, Seniontis strikes in the last year of high school. But for others, it attacks when they enter high school. Senior Dale Schaupp confided. “I’ve had senioritis every since the end of my junior year when I realized I was going to be a senior. You feel like you just want to quit!” “Senioritis forced me to find my split ends and take overdoses of Vivaren to stay awake in my fourth hour English class.” confessed senior Virginia Woodman. “I felt com- pelled to attend first hour McDonalds class, and make fifth hour optional. If you find your self unable to con- centrate and getting the urge to skip your classes you might be a victim of senioritis. But hang in there, be- cause June will arrive sooner than you think.

Freshmen Making The Mold Keeping The Peace jm Ithough detention is an ef- SW fective method of punishment for minor JL JL offensives, some students believe that many of the rules are taken a little too far. Here are a few accounts from stu- dents who felt that they were unjust- ly punished. Junior Dana Cooper re- called. “Last year Mrs. Parola gave Velda Garcia and I three days in de- tention for talking in class. I tried to explain to both her and Mr. Willey, the Assistant Principal of Students, that all 1 was asking for was a pen- cil. We were used as an example, be- cause they felt Magnet students should set a good example for the other students. After sitting in the Community Room for 15 minutes I decided from now on. no teacher will every- catch me without a pen- cil.” Junior Mike Panoff felt he was un- justly punished as well. “I stayed after my sixth hour Model United Nations class to work on some re- search. When I left the room. Mancc Broom, a Security Aide, stopped me and gave me detention for not being out of the building by 12:50 p.m. I feel so guilty. I just hope my fellow classmates, my school, and the com- munity can forgive me.” Reporting a similar experience Mag- net student Beth McGraw replied. “I was buying some Fritos from the vending machine when the bell rang. Mr. Willey argued that the reason I was late was because I didn't have the proper upbringing. I just thought I was late because I was hungry. I didn't realize the Frito- Law at Central was so strict. Boy, I’ll never do that again.” “I got detention once for sneaking out of Mr. Gleason’s Art class ear- ly. Confided senior Dan Collick. “I discovered that when you’re tired, it is possible to sleep through deten- tion. Just pull out a book, close your eyes, and appear absorbed.” We all have different views on de- tention, and through experience we've learned different lessons. But fair or unfair detention is still the most effective method of keeping the peace. We just have to learn to keep a low profile and live with it. Lon KJuender Freshmen Making The Mold! Upward bound f anyone had told you that there was a program that would provide you with a free tutor, financial aid for college, and a $40 monthly stipend, what would you think? You would prob- ably wonder. “What's the catch?” There is no catch. The program is called Upward Bound. “Upward Bound is a federally fund- ed project mandated by the U.S. De- partment of Education,” replied Don Truesdell. Science instructor for the Upward Bound Program. “The program provides federal fi- nancial assistance to students to help generate success in post-secon- dary education.” “Perhaps the most valuable function the Upward Bound Program serves, is its orientation towards preparing students for college.” replied Sonja McKenzie, an English tutor for the Upward Bound Program. When asked why she liked the Up- ward Bound Program. Kimberly Butler, a sophomore replied. “I like Upward Bound because it’s prepar- ing me for college.” “I enjoy being able to use all of the facilities at the University of Michi- gan-Flint.” commented sophomore Jaime Rodriguez. Junior Danielle Brown stated. “Up- ward Bound has helped me to improve my grades so that I will be able to go to college.” Carrie Wise, also a junior replied. “Upward Bound has motivated me to go on to college.” If a student wants to become a par- ticipant in the program, he or she must fill out an application, meet federal income requirements, and pass an interview with Phyllis B. Cunningham, Counselor- Coordinator and Eddie White, Di- rector of Upward Bound. Applicants must also get a recommendation from two teachers and take classes on a college preparatory program. Once accepted into the program, participants are required to attend after school tutoring sessions, and Saturday tutorial sessions from 8:00 A M. to 4:00 P.M. at the University of Michigan-Flint. “The Upward Bound Program has been operating in this area for slight- ly over a year, and it appears to be successful, stated Don Truesdell. For those in need of financial assistance or a little extra help in preparing for college. Upward Bound is the program for you.

Making A Good School Better! For some. Friday the 13th denotes an omnious. threatening day. But for Central’s faculty it was the be- ginning of a series of Effective School Inservices for “Making A Good School Better!” The purpose of the year-long Inserviccs was to help the entire stafT improve its ability to help stu- dents achieve and cope with Flint’s economic troubles. Mrs. Susan J. Gocring. an English and Humanities teacher, was the re- cipient of the U.S. Department of Education Christa McAuliffe Fellowship. The fellowship allocated funding to each of the 50 states to recognize outstanding teacher per- formance.

Mrs. Goering was one of four teachers in the state and 115 nation wide selected for the fellowship. The $9,000 Mrs. Gocring received for the fellowship was used to train Central’s teachers in the Effective School Method.

Mrs. Goenng was inspired to help Central’s students because of the effects the General Motors factory closings had and will have on Hint’s citizens. According to Mrs. Goering, the economy is expected to lose about S352 million as a result of the factory closings. ’’There’s not a lot teachers can do. but we sec students who come from families in these discouraging times and it is affecting the kids.” The group will use Inservice days to view the video tape, When The Doors Close, which details the effects of factory closings on Hint’s economy, tour the various neighborhoods where Central stu- dents live, and listen to a Detroit School District-Principal who used the Effective Schools method suc- cessfully in his high school. Other workshop sessions will be held throughout the school year.

These terms sound familiar to you now, but think back to the time when they seemed like a foreign language of their own. It seemed as though there were just too many rules to follow! But many students agree that it is worthwhile to learn all these rules. English courses are not simply elective classed that students can just skim through. English rules are required no matter what path you pursue in life. “Unlike some classes which seem irrelevant to real life, English is a class you’ll use the rest of your life.” Replied senior Sonya Martin Agreeing with this same line of thought, sophomore Annette Powers replied. “English is necessary because communication is survival; without expression we are lost.” Expressing a similar view about Social Studies, senior Angie Moxam replied, “Social Studies has taught me about the norms and values in the United States. It helps you because it scratches the surface of everything; family, money, politics, and law. Junior Tracy Nelson explained. “Studying the past gives you a better perspective on the future. “Studying the past gives you a better perspective on the future. We can learn a lot by looking back on our past, our mistakes and our victories.” After taking Economics, junior Robin Kach commented, “The stability of the United States is frightening. I was totally unaware of our situation before taking the class.” No matter what your feeling regarding English or Social Studies, you are still required to take eight semesters of English and six semesters of Social Studies.

A Program that providing students an opportunity to develop a positive self-concept and pride in their cultural background. The Bilingual-Multicult - ural Department For some it is a new and exciting dive into a different culture, but for many it is an extension of family expec- tations and personal understanding. The Bilingual-Multicultural Program is an instructional approach rather than a separate content area. The program takes into consideration the cultural and linguistic diversity of each student and gears the program to accomodate different cultural values and ex- pectations. “Learning Spanish was easy for me because of my Mexican background, commented junior Kathy Hernandez. friends since enrolling in the Bilingual Program. Junior. Gloria Guajardo remarked. “Writing and speak- ing English is very difficult because everything is back- wards.” The Bilingual-Multicultural Program provides students an opportunity to develop a positive self-concept, pnde in their ethnic or cultural background, as well as an un- derstanding of other people and cultures. All students agreed that Mrs. Margarita Calvo, the Coordinator of the department, is an excellent teacher and she always goes out of her way to help students. Many commented that she was like a “second mother.” Sophomore Vicky Lopez admitted. “I was able to under- stand more and communicate better with my family and Tammy Scott ASSISTING STUDENTS with correct Spanish pronunciation as she writes the lesson on the board is Margarita Calvo.

You walk into your first hour class and find a sheet of paper and an orange book silting on your desk. Your teacher walks in and instructs you to turn to page 137 and work out the first ten prob- lems. After looking up the page, you say to yourself. , I can’t do this!! Many formulas, monomials, and inequalities, appear too difficult for some students. According to junior Arnica Bracy, “Math is not hard, and then again it’s not easy. You just have to apply yourself.” A new addition to the Math Department this year was Pre-Algebra. It was added to bridge the gap between General Math and Algebra I and to stop so many stu- dents from failing. Senior Annette Carson confided. “I learned most of the theories and formulas in Pre- Algebra which really helped me through Algebra I”. In the Science Department, many students expressed a dislike for disccting animals in Biology class, but junior Tammy Callaway expressed a different viewpoint. “At first, I thought I was going to be sick when I cut open the pig. Then I discovered it wasn’t so bad after all. ac- tually it was kind of fun.” Attitude seems to be the key to enjoying your classes or looking at them as boring, or a waste of time. In order to be successful it is essential to have a positive attitude. Learning really can be fun.

THE NAVAL JUNIOR RESERVE OFFICERS’ TRAINING CORP An exciting an educational adventure began on Novem- ber 16. 1987, when thirty-nine Naval Junior Reserve Of- ficers’ Training Corp (NJROTC) Cadets embarked on a field trip to the Naval Installation in Norfolk, Virginia. The trip began a little precariously, when the Cadets en- countered a few problems with the jet plane. But, things managed to work out and everyone arrived safely in Norfolk to explore and observe the real Navy. The Cadets had a full week of participating in fighting real fires, going aboard submannes and LCVP Boats, and exploring Navy jets and helicopters. They learned first hand about the duties and responsibilities associated with those areas. The Cadets also visited a museum and learned about the history of the Armed Forces. The week was not all work, the cadets were provided with plenty of time for fun. There was freetime for shop- ping in the Navy Exchange, tours of the city and local attractions, as well as many exciting and fun times in the barracks. Brandy Scofield a sophomore commented, “I really enjoyed the trip to Norfolk. It was a lot of fun. and we really learned a lot.” Paul Francart, also a sophomore, who plans on making a career in the Navy like his brother Kevin, replied “I plan on joining the Navy after high school and earning credit for being in the NJROTC.” Freshman Sheila Dean who is a Seaman Apprentice stat- ed, The hardest assignment that I ever had was learn- ing how to march and carry a rifle. I plan on staying in the NJROTC for at least three more years then I’ll join the Navy after I graduate.” If you have a positive attitude and are not afraid of hard work. The Naval Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corp is the first step toward a career in the Navy or Marines and the ticket to a new. exciting and rewarding way of life.

Driver's Education Molding Our Future! There is more to getting a license than merely driving a car around the practice range. It also takes ... DETERMINATION AND SKILL Oh. no! Not again! Here they come. Every nine weeks its the same old thing. Riding on my brakes, popping my hood, slamming my doors, and running into things with my bumper. Why doesn't someone stop them?! Give me a break!! I need a rest!! Driver’s Education is a major part of many students' lives. Getting behind the wheel is one of the most im- portant things to a teenager. For some. Driver’s Educa- tion is fun and easy. Others end up hinng a private teacher in the summer. The odds of passing Driver's Education is I out of 3. You could possibly be a good driver and still fail the course. There is more to passing the class than just driving a car around the practice range. You are required to pass a written test twice a week, in addition to learning the laws governing Michi- gan's roads. Students are also responsible for learning the parts and systems of the car. and how to handle the car in an emergency situations. Sophomore Jose Ramirez, who felt he passed Mr. Taylor’s class replied. “I just knew I passed. All you really have to do is study hard and do what you are told. That alone doesn't make the class any easier though. Sophomore Tomiko Marks commented. “Driver's Training is the hardest class at Central. If you miss more than two days of class, you fail. If you flunk more than two test, you fail. And, if you get too many violations on the range you fail. It seems like you can’t win for los- ing! In order to pass Driver's Education class, you have to read the manual every night, pass the required weekly exams as well as a driving proficiency test. It really is not so difficult. It just takes a little determination and skill. So hang in there and don't give up. Sooner or later you’ll be able to drag down the street with the best of them.

Aletha is thank- ful that Central offers classes that provide special atten- tion and assistance to their needs. Aletha is most thank- ful to Ms. Debbie Winchester, her Math and Social Studies teacher. She feels that Ms. Winchester cares for her students, both personally, and in regards to their education. As a teacher. Ms. Winchester provides guid- ance to her students for problems that arise outside of school. She takes many factors into consideration when she sets up the expectations for her classes. The small classes give Special Education students more freedom to develop and learn at their own pace. With the pressures and disturbances from other students lift- ed. students are able to excel in there program. Aletha is the first student in her program to attend the Genesee Area Skill Center.

If you have a special interest or talent, or just desire a stimulating education, then take a little time to investigate ... The Magnet Programs To the average person a magnet is used to lack kindergar- ten artwork to the refrigerator. But to Flint students it’s a chance to meet new people, pursue new interests, and further their education. The Magnet Program began in the Flint Community Schools in 1976 as a way to avoid forced busing due to segregation. The program exists in the elementary, middle schools, and high schools with each school specializing in a different area of study. The senior high Magnet Program students are given the opportunity to travel from their home school and participate in magnets of their interests. Central offers a Bilingual-Multicultural Magnet. Industrial Arts Welding Magnet. Naval Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corp. a four-year Humanities Program, and a Fine Arts Magnet which includes An. Drama. Orchestra, and Vocal Music. All Flint students arc encouraged to participate in these and other programs throughout the Flint schools on a shared time basis. Two hundred and fifty students from Northwestern, Southwestern. North- ern. and The Flint Academy participate in Central’s mag- net programs. Northern junior. Elizabeth McGraw who is involved in Drama stated. “1 enjoy working in the theatre because it gives me a chance to work with people who’s interests lie in the pursuit of similar goals, the magnet program provides me with this chance.” Robin Koch, a Northern junior involved in Central’s Humanities program emphasized, “the program’s main goal is to prepare high school students for their future education. I feel I’ll have an edge on students who haven’t had the same background.” Where space permits students who attend magnet pro- grams at two or more schools other than their home school have the option to apply for home school status at a high school outside their area. Central junior, Tom Hall commented. “The magnet program is an intricate part of the diversification of one's academic base. The courses provide excellent preparation for education in future instructional institutions.” Chris Fowler a sophomore who was in a similar situation stated. ”1 applied for home school status at Central because 1 wanted to attend both Northern and Central yet avoid the conflict of graduating from Southwestern where my only class was homeroom.” Central students have the opportunity to attend other area schools and participate in their magnets as well. Northern offers programs in Math. Science, Engineering and Graphic Arts. Northwestern’s specialities are Accounting and Computing. Business Data Processing, Math, Science—Health Professions, and Plant and Building Maintenance. Careers in Government along with Market- ing and Distributive Education are available at South- western. The Hint Academy offers courses in Autobody Repair as well as the Skills Center, that offers too many programs to mention. Regardless of where your interests lie. the Magnet Pro- grams will provide you with all the assistance you need in order to pursue any career you desire and successfully car- ry out your goals. Lori Kluender Magnet Programs Molding Our Future! 157 II students arc provided with an opportunity to belong to a group or organization, yet not many people take advantage of the op- portunity. Central only has a few active clubs and organizations due to low student participation. In an organization, you not only become a part of that group, but often develop many lasting friendships. Perhaps you were a pan of one the Fine Arts organiz- ations such as The A Ca- pella Choir and the Mad- rigal Ensem- ble who were the featured onstage at- traction at Carnegie Hall in New York City. New York. Or maybe you were a mem- ber of The International Thespian Troupe 575. Members of that organiza- tion are re- sponsible for producing all the plays and musicals for the Flint Community Schools. They also went to Stratford, Ontario in May to watch a production of Shake- speare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”. Even farther away than Stratford and New York City is Pans. France, and London. England, where the French Club toured during Spring Break. Now that’s really going to the source of a club. Organizations and clubs, are more than just going places. It’s meeting with similiar interests, making new fnends, learning cooperation, and helping one another. .An example of this is the National Honor Society who planted trees for the United Way, helped with a phone-a-thon for the Flint Institute of Music, and assisted with the summer Art Fair at The Flint In- stitute of Art. Clubs and or- ganizations are an oppor- tunity to be involved in activities out- side of the rc- gular class- room atmos- phere.

Do you recall the strange looking peo- ple wandering around wearing costumes and blue and yellow beanies? To most students, this custom appeared ex- tremely outrageous but to theatre stu- dents, it was an accepted tradition for inducting students into the International Thespian Society. The Thespian Society is an honorary organization for drama students. To be- come a member of the Society, drama students must earn points by doing various tasks either on or off the stage. After completing 10 hours of work. Theatre students are inducted into the Troope. Initiation day is fun and exciting for ev- eryone. Each Thespian is assigned an initiate and prepares something outlandish for him or her to do. Aaron Shell, a sophomore who was in- ducted last year as a Thespian, and had to dress up like a girl all day long claimed. “The initiations are humiliating, but it's definitely worth it.” Elaborating on this, senior Paxton MacDermaid, known in the Theatre Department as “The Pacs-man . com- mented “It makes you feel like a big deal because you're part of an International Organization for Theatre students.” Thespians take pride in their work, and they are always willing to help out any new person who comes into the depart- ment. Being educated in the world of Theatre. Thespians desire to share their knowledge and increase their ranks. When asked why it was worth it to be- come a Thespian, Aimee Heddy, a sen- ior who has been actively involved in the department since her freshman year, replied. “It gives you a sense of accomplishment and pride to know you’re a member of the most elite group in the Theatre. So next time you see one of those “weirdos walking down the hall in a blue and yellow beanie, take time out to congratulate them on a job well done and most of all for all the hard work it took to make the Theatre Department what it is today—number one.

Carrying On The Tradition Despite the surprise blow the band re- ceived this year when their director ob- tained a teaching position at another school, band members arc attempting to carry on the tradition of excellence under the new direction of Mr. Steve Craighead. Although the band once consisted of over two hundred members, this year that number decreased to approxi- mately fifty members. Mr. Craighead commented, “These hard times have really shown who is dedicated and who is not. Most band members don’t seem to mind the small number of people. It has provided an opportunity for more individualized instruction. Lujanna Tipton, a freshman remarked. ‘It makes us closer and gives us more in- dependent training.” Upholding traditional standards, the band received a superior 1 rating at the District Band Festival. In order to prepare for this competition, freshman Jason Anthony revealed, “We had many afterschool rehearsals to make sure we would be prepared.” When asked how she felt about attend- ing the Band Festival, freshman Steph- anie Cannon responded. “I was nervous, and excited about the Festival at the same lime, but I had confidence that we could do it.” “The band is coming along slowly but surely, replied junior Brant Major. We still have quite a way to go!” Although the band lost an excellent leader as well as many excellent musi- cians. there is no doubt that the band will rebuild its membership and contin- ue the tradition of superiority that it has always enjoyed.

MEASURE BY MEASURE Though this has probably been an average uneventful year for most organ- izations. the A Capella Choir and the Madrigal Singers have experienced an out of the ordinary year as they pre- pared to sing at the world renouned Carnegie Hall. This all began in January of 1986 when the choir gained recognition after performing at the Midwest Music Con- ference. After that performance. Mr. Helmut Petrich, the choir director, was contacted and invited to perform at Carnegie Hall with six other choirs from across the nation. The trip is being funded through public foundations, donations, and various fund raisers the students have spon- sored. The Choir members as well as Mr. Petrich are nervous and excited about the trip. Jason Gluck, a junior, enthusiastically replied. “It's a once in a lifetime chance, and something I'll al- ways remember.” When asked how being invited made her feel. Katie Holm, also a junior re- plied. “Out of all the schools across the country. I feel we were very lucky to have been chosen.” The choir has prepared for the big event with exhausting rehearsals and invigorating concerts and performances. Even though the choir has been prepar- ing for this momentus event, they still have taken time out for other outstand- ing accomplishments. Karen Petrich. a member of the A Capella Choir and Madrigal Ensemble, has been selected to the State High School SATB Honor Choir. Sharon Brooks, a freshman, was named to the Ninth Grade State Honors Choir. The choir has also performed along with the Flint Symphony Orchestra before sell- out crowds at Woodside Church. Every little bit has helped to prepare them for their trip to Carnegie Hall. For some students this trip means much more than just a chance to perform. For Cassandra Gilleylan. a sophomore, its meaning goes much deeper. “I want the people in New York to realize that the students in Michigan aren't all on drugs. Many kids have real ambition and real talent.” replied Cassandra. Members of the choir realize that this is an opportunity not many people have and one they are not likely to forget. Mario Thomas, a junior commented, “New York will never be the same after Central leaves!” We can be certain that this will be an event that will be recorded as a mile- stone in the choirs as well as Central's history. Choir members will always look back on this occasion as a once in a lifetime opportunity with pride and admiration.

Did you ever really pay attention to your yearbook? Have you ever considered who put it together for you and how they did it? Or did you just lake it for granted that it arrived completely put together ready for deliv- ery. This may come as a surprise, but there is an actual real live staff that takes and crops pictures, writes and edits articles, draws layouts and works together as a team to put the yearbook together. Under the direction of Mrs. Anita Ma- jor, the Journalism Yearbook staff put in many long, dedicated hours to produce the book you see today. This was the first full year that Mrs. Major and her staff had for completing the yearbook. It was a difficult task consid- ering that there were two different groups of students first and second se- mester. “There were a lot of problems with class scheduling and getting students who wanted to write and put in the ex- tra time required to complete the year- book. It is impossible for the yearbook to survive with a new staff every semes- ter. stated Mrs. Major. Senior, Sonya Martin. Prospectus Com- puter Editor who did all of the typing Journalism Publications Making The Pieces Fit! for the yearbook on an Apple lie com- puter commented, I never realized that the yearbook required so much work. I spent an average of twelve hours a week working on the year- book. Mecca Nelson senior Copy Editor repli- ed. “Producing the yearbook requires a lot of quality time and effort. Only stu- dents with good writing skills should consider the class. Mrs. Major hopes to send five staff members to Michigan State University this summer for a week long Journalism Workshop. Staff members will receive training in feature writing, caption writing, layouts, headline writing, photography and interviewing techniques. This will help the staff get an early start on next years’ yearbook. From writing stories, to developing pic- tures, or drawing layouts. Yearbook publications offers a challenge for any- one.

The Model U.N. class at Central con- sists of a loosely structured but de- manding curriculum of which research and public speaking play key roles. The various skills that the students acquire are culminated in the Great Lakes Invitational Model United Nations (GLIMUN) Conference held in Kala- mazoo. Michigan. The Conference sim- ulates the real United Nations and. therein, students become delegates from participating countries to debate the is- sues.

The majority of students who are in- volved in Model U.N. deem their ex- periences as extremely beneficial. Shannon Rennie, a Northern senior and three year veteran of Model U.N. relayed the insights that she gained via the program when she replied. “The ability to speak well and influence oth- ers is essential to any serious minded delegate. Model United Nations is the perfect place to expand your knowledge of other political systems as well as oth- er cultures.” Kimberly Love, another Northern sen- ior and four year veteran of the program remarked of her experiences. “Once 1 plowed my way through parliamentary procedure and all the red tape I was able to discover how inter- esting and exciting world politics and the U.N. can be.” Most students involved in the Model United Nations class remain in the program for the extent of their high school careers and feel the experience is uncomparable to any other.

They de- parted from Detroit on Wednesday, March 30. 1988 and returned Friday, April 8, 1988. French teacher and fear- less leader Mrs. Coleman exclaimed, “the trip was Fabulous!” Only one mis- hap occurred with no injuries reported. The group spent five days in Paris tak- ing in all the major tourist sights. They went to the top of the Eifle Tower, visited the Notre Dame Cathedral, and toured the Dorsay Museum. Then it was on to the Mont Martre. to see the thinker at Robin Museum. Next, they saw the tomb of Napoleon Les Invalides. the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, the Latin Quarter, and Mont St Michel. Free time became no more than a fig- ure of speech. Gcordie Calhoun protest- ed. “Our free time, was nearly nonexistent. Our only true ‘freetime was broken down into things to do. We did get ‘free time at night but our cur- few was 10:30 p.m. All other ‘free time was given to us at shopping centers or on the streets. Other than that we were always on the move.” Mrs. Coleman explained. “The trip is not a vacation, it is an educational tour.” After covering France, the tour moved on to London, England. First on the agenda was the Tower of London. Then they viewed the Crown Jewels, shopped at Harrods Department Store, and went to Madame Toussaud’s Wax Museum which houses the actual blade that decappitated Marie Antonette. After visiting the original Hard Rock Cafe, they rode the double decker bus and subway of London. The ten day tour was obviously packed full of things to do. Each attraction was a walking trip and many complained of aching feet. Felecia Sawyer confided. “I had to be carried because of excrutiating pain in my feet and legs. The only major disaster occurred when the group returned to the United States. Geordie Calhoun explained, “After rushing to get ready the next morning I discovered at the airport that my pass- port was missing.” After settling this problem with the proper authorities, they boarded the plane to Boston. After proving that Geordie was a U.S. citizen, the group headed home. Senior Tonya Jackson confided. “I real- ly don’t like Paris. Many people were rude and the city had an odor to it. I was surprised to see dogs were allowed inn restaurants. I didn't think that was very sanitary.” Senior Lisa McClean expressed. “It was an experience I’ll never forget. Europe is beautiful. I hope to vacation there someday. Then I won’t have to walk so much.” For each student the trip was a true learning experience. Each student left with a better understanding of the lan- guage. the culture, and the people. Next year, the French Club plans on touring Quebec. But for now, Au Revoir!

Central's Community Council made up of adminis- trators. teachers, and concerned citizens, meet once a month to organize seminars and events of benefit to the community. This year the Council held sui- cide information seminars, drug information pro- grams and arranged athletic activities and events. The Community Council also coordinated a beauti- fication project with Mr. Gary McDaniel’s Environ- mental Studies class to plant trees and flowers around our campus. The Community School Director. Mr. James Bcau- bien was responsible for planning recreational activ- ities afterschool, working with the Big Brothcrs Big Sisters program, and representing Central in the Community Crack Down On Drugs Program.

The first major activity that the members conducted was the Spirit Week activities during the week that Central’s football team would meet its arch rival—Flint Northern High School! The students of Central High School participated enthusiastically in the week’s activit- ies. such as the tricycle race, the pic eating contest, and the tug of war. The weekend activit- ies culminated in a pep rally in which Central stu- dents exhibited spectacular spirit. The sopho- mores were the overall winners of the Spirit Week competition. The student Congress collected canned goods at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Members personally delivered the Thanksgiving baskets to needy families and the proceeds from the Christ- mas collection were donated to the North End Soup Kitchen. Student Congress is required to create a theme each year. This year’s theme was titled. Living the Dream . The essential goal of this theme was to take advantage of the ethnic diversity at Central High School in order to build better un- derstanding and open communication lines among our students. In addition, the Student Congress committed itself to fighting the war against drug and alcohol abuse among teens. The Congress worked with the SADD chapter here as well as participated in independent projects to achieve this goal. In fact, some of the Congress members were very instrumental in planning a drug awareness program that aired on the Hint Board of Education Public Broadcasting radio station, WFBE. All in all. this year’s Student Congress had an ex- citing and productive year in which all Central students benefited. Mecca Nelson STUDENT CONGRESS—Left to Right Mecca Nelson. Shelaen Williams.

Richard (42.136) The National Honor Society The National Honor Society Chapter at Central is unique among the Hint Community School chap- ters due to the fact that its membership is exclu- sive to members of the senior class. Members are nominated in the second semester of their junior year on the basis of their grade point average, which must be at least an accumulative value of 3.0. Near the end of their junior year, students arc inducted into the National Honor Society via a ceremony to which relatives and friends are invited to observe this “rite to passage . This year 45 members were in the Society. The essence of the National Honor Society is ser- vice. s a louu, mciiioers are required to perform service projects, to earn points that will permit them to remain in the Society. This year, members tutored students at Lowell Middle School and took inventory at the Best Catalogue Store. They shared their time with senior citizens, and participated in various fund raising projects. Although members must earn points, another es- sential goal of the National Honor Society is to encourage students to learn the value of serv ing others and to continue to engage in service projects in their adult lives.

Dec. 14 at 8:30 p.m. on Channel 28 since last year. The Quiz members were eagerly awaiting the announcement of their first oppo- nent when, coach Richard Brown informed them that they would be playing Lapeer East, the overall champion of the Challenge Team Tourna- ment for the last three years! However, the team was ready because they had recently participated in the Genesee High School Invitational Tourna- ment in which they were the first runner-up. The team was confident and ready for the challenge. Unfortunately, the team suffered a defeat at the hands of Lapeer Easts’ tnvia machine with a score of 325 to 200. In spite of the results. Cen- tral’s score was one of the highest scores thus far. This provided an opportunity for the Indians to reenter the televised competition. However, Murphy's Law was against the team be- cause at the very last moment, two teams lost with scores of over 200 points. Alas, the Tribe was out of the running for a Wild Card Selection. All was not lost because the team had three other tournaments to look forward to: the City Tourna- ment, the Genesee County Invitational Tourna- ment. and the Consolation Tournament. Hopeful- ly fate will be on their side for the remainder of the season. Mecca Nelson HIGH SCHOOL CHALLENGE—Front Row: Brian Haggard. Mecca Nelson. Captain Matt Robinson.

Antionette II (105) Gifted Students Club The Gifted Students Club is a extracurricular ac- tivity that allows students to explore subjects that arc not usually a part of the normal classroom curriculum. Mr. Raymond Bearden conducts these biweekly seminars. The students who par- ticipate in the club are either juniors or seniors. The topics that arc explored are very diverse, ranging from the life of the artist Vincent Van Gogh to an analysis of foods eaten in various cul- tures. The seminars are an excellent excursion for students of inquisitive natures to become familiar with new ideas and to thoroughly examine sub- jects and ideas which arc normally taken for granted. Students who attend the extra curricular learned a great deal from them. Although Mr. Bearden choses the majority of the topics to be explored at each meeting, he readily accepts sug- gestions from students for future topics.
