In a few years, this book will be a Guiding Light to lead us to days in the past. It will help us remember all the people, all the events, and all of the fun. We will also think back to how the adults of the time were worried about All the Children being lost in Another World. How they thought we were just too Young and Restless. While they worried about keeping us out of General Hospital, we Senior. John Benko, and sophomore. Chris Moss relax and enjov some pop on their lunch hour. worried more about Capital for that new car, those new clothes, or that big date. Regardless of the memories it brings back, it will no doubt remind you of how much school is like one big soap opera. That is why the yearbook staff used the idea of the soaps for a theme. And now, for the Days of Our Lives.... Jacie Levitt. Brian TorzewsKi, Mike Black, Dave Miller. Jenny Wall. Holly Pitrago, Lon Ebner, ana Lvnette Hurst stay tired uo after the footoali oame.

STUDENT LIFE 4 The Young And The StucUnti. On A student s life mav be thought of bv many as irresponsible and carefree. Actually a student's life can be very complicated and busy. We constantly have decisions to make, ranging from the simplest (What to do on Saturday night?) to the most difficult (What career to pursue and or what college to attend?). For most students this is the hardest decision to make. We have to discover what our interests are. choose the classes in high school that will help us the most, study hard, and eventually narrow our choices down to one career. As far as being busy goes, students are always on the run. Sometimes our schedules mav be routine though, we get up early in the morning ivuk!), get ready to go to school, slave through six hours of grueling tests and quizzes from 8:45 a.m. to 2:55 p.m.. go to our various jobs, athletic practices, and meetings, then we go home to do all those homework assignments. Despite these tedious tasks we must perform, there are the fun times too. We students always welcome a break in our classes when teachers Plan Pizza parties, free davs. or maybe something unusual, like a movie. Something we always look forword to are after school events. Maybe it's driving to Richmond on a school mqht to see the guy's basketball team Play, and then stopping at Restless McDonalds afterwards, or mavbe it's going over to vour boyfriend s house to nelp him with his homework. Weekends always seem to lift everyone's spirits. There are football games or basketball games on Friday nights. Most importantly though is that most of us get to sleep in. Some of us have jobs to go to. but we do enjoy the extra money. There are dates to go on. parties, movies, and concerts to go to with our friends. A student's schedule does get overloaded at times, and parents wonder how and why we keep going. It s because we are The Young and the Restless.

At whit other time cm you come into school and see so many people looking so strange ? Although spirit week oarticipation was down from last year, many students still got involved. Said senior, Julie Wilkinson, I thought it was pretty good, a lot ot people got out and tried. Junior, Duane Kautz brought up a common complaint with his comment, 'There was less participation because the days were harder to find costumes tor.1' The Spirit Week days were: collegiate, twins, clown, nerd, beach bum, cartoon character, ano the traditional blue and white day. Although the competition at times was close, the senior class did end up winning the spirit award by placing second with tneir -float. Junior, Dawn Dennison, and senior, Mike Suiter show their spirit during Homecoming week by dressing up as Mickey ano Minnie Mouse. The two were dressed up tor cartoon character day. First place winner, Steve Bradley, senior, really went all out -for clown day. Many people didn't even recognize him. SPIRIT WEEK 6 Seniors. Gary Ginther, Lewis Jewett, ana John Siemen wait anxiously to De judged tor cartoon character day. Lewis added an extra touch to his Smurf costume by painting himself blue with a bingo dotter. Junior, Brian French, kicks back in his lawn chair and waits to be judged for beach bum day. Brian, equipped with pop, chips, radio, life jacket, and lawn chair won first place for the day. SrlnlT WEEK 7 Disney Theme Makes Float Building Exciting One of the most exciting parts of spirit week was, of course, float buiiding. The floats, all keeping with the Walt Disney theme, were designed by Mr. Randy Simmons. Each class chose a design and went to work to make their float the best. After two weeks of making flowers, eating junk food, spying on other floats, late nights, and wondering if you would ever get done, the floats were judged. The next night when the winners were announced, there was the usual reaction from the crowd. Some students got angry or disappointed, some were very happy, and some, thinking that spirit week was over, got sad. Then they remember that the dance is Saturday night, the float burning party is next weekend, and of course, we're winning the game. Then they realize that the spirit never really ends. The freshmen float, although it placed last, showed a lot of effort. Now that they have the hang of it, watch out! SPIRIT WEEK s Senior float builders gather around the wagon to ham it ud tor the shot. Pictured with their second place float are (top) Jeff Dawson, Travis Campbell, MarK Levitte, (middle) Lewis Jewett, Dave Cerny, John Wyett, Brian Warner, Steve Soper, (bottom) Don Harbour, and Frank Salvatore. The junior float, “Victory Castle , took first place in the judging. It wasn't enough for the juniors to pull off the spirit award though, they placed second. Sophomores Ann Kautz, Jean Huepenbecker, Jenni Levitte, Nicole Ohl, and Micnael Kluczyk work hard to get their float done. They placed third with their float. 5P1RIT WEEK 9 Varsity cheerleaders� Cathy Vitaie and Tiffany Duncan get tired ud tor the pep rally. Cathy wasn't in uniform as she had dressed up -for cartoon character day. Jesse Fuentes. junior, got a big surprise when he found his mother, not a cheerleader, on the end of his licorice stick. PEP RALLY 10 Pep Rally Sparks Pioneer Spirit Snke up another tight song! That s what happened to start up the spirit week pep rally with a bang. The rally, which was neld on Thursday during sixth hour, was organized by the varsity cheerleaders. It included the introduction of the court members, talks from the coaches, skits, and a dance routine. There were also two competitions, a competition cheer, won oy the sophomores, and a tug of war, won by the seniors. The spirit week pep rally was designed to get all classes involved and tire up the football team. Said varsity football player, Mike Hall, senior, It gets us excited about the game. The pep band gets warmed up tor the Homecoming pep rally. The Dana, made up of mostly new Dane memoers. Old a great job. Juniors Chip Dennison, Dave Miller, Tod Loeoing, Rod Liebler, Brian Frencn, Jesse Fuentes, Bill Krause, and Mike Black tug a victory over the freshmen to win extra points toward the spirit awaro. PEP RALLY 11 Towns Come Alive Anyone who drove through Lexington or Crosweii on the morning of October 10, 198c. might have thougnt it was just another normal day. They were wrong! Little did they Know tnat that very afternoon those towns would be alive witn bands, floats, and speeches. Put all of this together and you get, of course, tne 19 o Homecoming parade. The Croswell-Lexington Pioneer Marching Band led both parades playing a number of tunes. They were followed by the court members, floats, fire trucks with players and cheerleaders, and in Crosweii, Mayor, Gary MacKlem, Athletic Director, Tom Regan, and foreign exchange student, YuKo Uenara from Okinawa, Japan. in Lexington, the announcer was Mayor, Mr. Joseph Rzepka. Mr. Donald Harbour, high school coach and teacher, did the honors in Crosweii. At both parades, the welcome was given 0y student Council President, Amv Falls, senior, followed by introductions of court by the announcers, introduction of new coaches by Mr. Regan, captains speeches, given by seniors Brian Torzewski, Bill Forro, Steve Forro, Jeff Dawson, Doug Maher, and Steve Turner, coach s speech given by head varsity coach, Mr. RadsKe, comments by Mr. Gary Davis, Superintendant, and closing comments by the announcers.

The last Homecoming game that ended in a victory was in 1983� to everyone was preparing tor a win over Algonac. Senior, John Siemen said, I think more intensity and preparation was put into practices during Homecoming week than in others. Although the weather had been wet and miserable, Friday turned out to be clear and sunny, but quite cold. By the time the game had started, the temperature had fallen to 45 degrees. However, this did not keep the fans, parents, alumni, and students trom coming, wrapped up in olankets, to cheer their team to a victory. After two touchdowns, one by Roger Bosnaw and one by Bill Forro, and a field goal kicked by Nick Serra, the Pioneers defeated the Muskrats 17-0.

HOMECOMING GAME 15 Royalty Is Honored To be chosen by your classmates to represent them in any court is quite an honor, but to serve on the Homecoming Court becomes very special. This is especially true tor the seniors who have the chance ot becoming Homecoming King or Queen. in orfler to become King or Queen, every senior must go through a grueling process. First, each class votes tor one guy ano girl to represent them on the court. The ballots are counted by Student Council , and the top six young men and ladies are announced tor each class. The -freshmen, sophomore, and junior classes vote tor only one couple in their grade, whiie the senior class chooses three couples. HOMECOMING COURT 16 The ballots are counted again and the underclass representatives are chosen before the Homecdoming Week begins, and the senior candidates are only narrowed down to three couples. Next, the whole student body votes for one of the senior class couples, and Mr. Sprowl counts the ballots himself. He is the only one who Knows the results until halftime of the game. There were several other young ladies and gentlemen, not pictured here, that were chosen by their classmates to run for the court. Although they were not chosen to represent their class, they should be congratulated for their achievements. 1986 Homecomin court members: (top; John Eberwein, John Siemen, RicK Gutierrez.

HOMECOMING DANCE 20 Record Attendance Makes Homecoming A Smash You got out of the car and walked through the darkness to the door. Walking in, you were hit with the brightly lit hallway, loud music, and the clamor of too many people all in one place. Where else could you have been, but at the 1986 Homecoming Dance. The dance, held on Saturday, October 11, was so crowded that it set and attendance record! There were people inside, outside, in the hallways, everywhere! All in all, most people gave positive comments about the dance. Sophomore, Angel Ryan, thought the dance was okay. This one was more exciting than last year. Everyone was dancing more and screaming. Freshman, Michelle Wilcox, and senior, Mark Levitt appear to be having a good time although it was so crowded you could hardly dance. Senior court members take a Iook around after the crowning of King and Gtueen. It was especially exciting for King, John Siemen because he had not been crowned at the game as he was on the football team. HOMECOMING DANCE 21 Jitterbuggers, Witches, Maniacs Tne Fine Arts Department's tall production was “Bats In The Belfry. It was performed on Novemoer 14 and 15. The play, a comedy, was set in Brooklyn, New York in a music conserv atory run by four old ladies. After a long series of events, in which it was revealed that the ladies were witches, the ladies' imaginary friend oecame real and visible, their niece was turned into a cat, and their friends were put in suspended animation, the ladies got out their book of magic and turned everything back to normal. The play was directed by Miss Jane White and assistant director Mrs. Sharon Fails. The cast members and stage crew included seniors, Lori Ebner, Amy Falls, Beckv Turner, Wendy Jackson, and Jason Stubbe, juniors, Mike Black, Chris Jacobs, Holly Pitrago. Aiycia Sykora, Rudy Lara, Heather Blackwell, and Barry Kluczvk, sophomores, Robyn Kredell, Jenny Wall, Danielle Mastej, and Michael Kluczyk, and freshmen, Mike Falls, Angela Agnello, Angelia Coburn and Allan Volker.

This is Jason's third year in the drama club. SPRING PLAY 24 Saves Dogpatch Despite these difficulties, and a few more on the nights of performance, (lights going out, people on crutches, zippers coming down) the play went very well. Daisy didn't have to marry Earthquake, Bullmoose ended up In jail, and Abner saved the day with his Yokumberry Tonic. Senior, Andy Oliver, who played Abner, commented on his feelings about his first play. I was happy, and proud of mvself. But, I realized the huge responsibilty I had. Sometimes I got really tense, but 1 made it! When it was all over, senior, Wendy Jackson, four year actress and drama member, summed up the feelings of most of the seniors. I felt really sad. I will sure miss all of this. We were like family! The Scragg's (Chris Jacobs, Tim Miller, and Duane Kautz) sing their part in A Typical Day. Lil' Abner (Andy Oliver) listens to Daisy Mae (Holly Pltrago) as she sings to him that she is the girl for him. SPRING PLAY 25 All Shook Up J.V. football players, cheerleaders and coaches got quite a surprise on the way to their game at St.Clair. While going through an intersection in Marysville, a semi tractor-trailer ran a red light and crashed into the bus. The bus driver, Ed krajewski, saved the busload of 3? people from serious injury with his quick thinking. When he saw the truck run the light,he turned with the truck and prevented the bus from being hit broadside. Only two people were injured, one with lacerations and the other was quite shaken up. The bus could not finish it's trip so a Marysville bus took the teams to the game in St. Clair. The accident must not have shaken up the team too much, as they won the .game 31 to 0. Rain Causes Considerable Damage The month of September proved to be a rather wet one. It seemed to have rained almost every aay. As a total, there were 13.5 to over 23 inches of rain that fell, depending on where you were in the countv. in just those thirty days. Heavy rain began Wednesday evening, September 10, and bv Friday, the 12th. mostly within a 24 hour period. 8.7 inches had been dumped on Sanilac countv. Many farmers faced the possibil- ity of losing their entire crops as a result of the flooding. Agricultural officials estimated crop losses in Sanilac county, to dry beans, sugar beets, corn, and others, at 12.5 million dollars. The rain also cause’d the erosion of lakeshore properties, flooding of basements, and damage to furnaces, freezers, roofs, and foundations. Farmers suffering from losses were able to qualify tor unemployment. Croswell Park was completely flooded when the river overflowed in the fall. Jinxed Room Gets Struck Again Five high school students were involved in the destruction of the east wall of Mr. Jackson's classroom. The passengers included Anna Paraghi, 10th grade. Jim Phillips, 10th grade, Travis Campbell, 12th grade, and Mike Hall, 12th grade. Driver. Mark Hall. 10th grade, was driving carelessly in the parking lot. on Sunday, January 18, 1987. The front tire on the driver s side blew which caused them to lose control of the car. Because of the ice on the pavement they could not regain control. The car slid into the high school wall at 45moh. It scared us ail real bad. said Mike Hall. Half of the rront bumper was in Mr. Jackson s room. Mike Hall suffered trom a bump on his forehead when he hit the windshield, and had a headache for a tew davs. No other injuries were reported. Mr. Jackson stated that he was auite upset about the whole thing. This isn’t the first time that oart of his room has been destroyed . He has also nad the glass in his door shattered to Pieces as the result of a student. As tar as I'm concerned it never should have happened. said Mr.Jackson. A crew from Vandergraaff Construction works to fix the hole in the wall of room 105. The wall was hit by a car and the damage went all the way through to the inside. • t ■ The water in the Black River neariy reached the bridge on Sanborn Street. The water level reached record levels all over the thumb. NEWS 27 Styles Of The Year Stvles, like everything else, change very quickly and sometimes dramatically. This year there were many new styles that were introduced throughout the vear. Probably the most talked about trend was the shortest trend, In more than one wav. Some of the guys, mostly on the wrestling team, decided to get mohawks. It caused quite a bit of laughter, surprise, and attention, but as soon as their hair had grown out, the style was over. Bobbed hair cuts became very popular with the girls and lasted all year. There were a lot of extremes in the styles of clothing that we wore. They ranged from oversized shirts, sweaters, and pants, to close-fitting mlnl-jean skirts and long jean skirts. Jean jackets covered with button-pins were also frequently seen in our halls. It will be quite interesting to see what will be walking through the school next vear. Jean jackets were quite popular this year, and are being modeled by: front row, Angela Hoppenworth, Larry Anderson, Lisa Fetter, Tracy Stevens, Kim Todd, Kris Alexander, Julie Wilkinson, Chris Jerleckl; back row, Debbie Weller, Stacy Lewis, Roger Boshaw, Kathy Vassallo, Becky Turner, Andy Oliver, John Slemen, and Brian Torzewskl. Juniors Laura Partlo, Heather Blackwell, Dawn Dennison, and Michelle Harbour show different ways to wear the black boots and mini skirts that came in style this vear. FEATURES 28 Sports Banquet Mr. Regan and the Athletic Department tried something new last year concerning the sports awards ceremonies. In the past there were three sports banquets(Fall, Winter, and Spring), where the parents would bring in dishes of food for a carry-in-dinner. After everyone had eaten, the awards ceremony would begin with each coach introducing his team, talking about their season, and then handing out specific awards. Mr. Regan decided that three banquets each year was a lot to take on and they lasted too long, so he cut back to just two. Now there are two sports banquets and one awards ceremony. The awards ceremony is held in the high school cafeteria instead of the junior high. The teams are simply introduced and awards handed out. After all the teams are finished, refreshments are served. During the Fall Sports Banquet, Mr. Groner, coach of cross country, hands senior team member Rick Gutierrez his captain's award. Mr. Radske, head varsity football coach and freshmen boy's basketball coach, is busily feeding himself during the Fall Sports Banquet. To the right of him is Mr. Fracassa, offensive coordinator for the freshmen football team. Changes Made This vear the Fall sports teams had a banquet on December 2, 1986. The meal was served and then the football teams, girl's basketball teams, golf, cross country, and equestrian teams were recognized. The Winter teams simply had an awards ceremony this year. All teams, which included volleyball, wrestling, and guy's basketball, were still given the recognition they deserved for their great seasons, even though it wasn't a banquet. A banquet was held for the Spring teams, which are girls softball, baseball, girls and boys track, and tennis, on Thursday, May 28, 1987. These teams were introduced and given their individual awards after the dinner. FEATURES 29 Mrs. Stover Greatly Missed Alter 34 years of teaching, Mrs. Stover decided to retire. She lived in Ann Arbor and graduated from Ypsilanti High School. She went to college at Eastern Michigan University. She began teaching at Cros-Lex in 1950. While here, Mrs. Stover was very involved sponsoring senior trips. Homecoming activities,and dances. She was also NHS advisor for many years. December 19, 1986 was Mrs. Stover's last day of teaching. She earned a lot of respect and appreciation while she was here, and she will be greatly missed. Students Show They Care On October 2, 1986. the Red Cross Blood Drive was held in the school library. Participation was better than ever. The event was organized by NHS president, Kim Todd, senior. She kept things moving with the help of several student volunteers. 47 pints of blood were given, and over thirty people were still waiting to give when the time ran out. The drive was open to students 17 and older and also to any member of the community who wished to stop. Some teachers helped to push the drive bv offering extra credit to any student who gave blood. Usually the fall drive is down because of the heavy sports schedules, but we even outdid the 1986 spring drive, said Todd, who was very pleased with the turnout. “In a school on our area, 30 Pints is usually tops. I think it's great to see the student participation. The top ten most popular T.V. shows of the year were: 1. The Cosby Show 2. Family Ties 3. Cheers 4. Murder, She Wrote 5. The Golden Girls 6. Night Court 7. 60 Minutes 8. Moonlighting 9. Growing Pains 10. Who s the Boss? Some of the more popular movies of the year were: 1. Top Gun 2. Crocodile Dundee 3. Mannequin 4.

Sno-ball. the second biggest event of the vear sponsored bv Student Council, was held in the middle school cafeteria. Student Council and the students that attended the dance sure can be proud.

This car shows the typical senior spirit shown on the last day of school. Senior Spirit ! As usual, the class of 198? kept alive the many traditions of the seniors' last dav. The cars were painted, the water Dalloons were flying, and empty shaving cream cans filled the parking lot. Seniors began arriving at the school long before classes were to begin. As you drove your car into the parking lot, you were met with water and shaving cream before you could even get out of your car. A few minutes before the exams were to begin, the seniors rinsed off and went into the school to change before they went to class. After school was out, thev continued the water fight for a while and then they tapered off until it was finally safe to walk out In the parking lot without getting hit. After thirteen years of working together, a day to play together only seems fair! Senior, Tracy Studaker, sits down with a wet head to take her exams.

Many things have got to he considered in order to produce a good, quality newspaper that is going to catch the readers eye. In newspaper class the first semester there were six people who were responsible for the issues, while the rest of the class was taking the theory part of the class. When second semester rolled around there were then eighteen people who shared the responsibility of producing the newspaper. Each student was responsible for their own copy, roughdraft, photos, and the layout of the paper. Most people don't realize all of the work it takes to produce a good newspaper and the expense that it cost the school. Anyone can be on the newspaper staff provided they pass the theory class. So, if you think you have the ability of writing and organization you would be a good prospect for the newspaper class. Wendy Jackson, senior, puts finishing touches on a school newspaper layout.

Jerry Kaczor, Kim Phillips. Wendy Jackson, Tracy Studaker. and Mike Black. NEWSPAPER 91 Organization And Hard Work What does it take to produce a good yearbook? More than most people realize. First of all, the staff has to be chosen very carefully. In order to become a member of the staff a person has to be experienced in a number of areas. Thev have to be able to work on a computer, be outgoing when it's time to sell ads, able to make layouts for the yearbook pages, and also have knowledge in taking pictures. Mr. Mageski, the yearbook advisor, picks the members of the staff according to these experiences. After each member is chosen, they are then picked for a position on the staff, and then that person is expected to fulfil their position. At the beginning of the year, everyone is spilt up Into groups to sell ads to help support the yearbook. When this is done, the staff is split up into teams and they are assigned different pages which they are expected to complete by certain deadlines. This is what is worked on during most of the year. Being organized and meeting the deadlines is what makes a good yearbook staff. «2 Bernadette Nawrocki, senior, keeps busy typing In copy for the first deadline.

Hardworking Young People They are hard working young people, and they represent their classes well, says Mr. John Sprowl, Student Council sponsor. He was very pleased with the way the Student Council worked this year. Since Homecoming was in early October, the Student Council began work as soon as school started in the -fall. They planned the spirit week activities, the parades, the halftime events, and the dance. Participation for spirit week was high, the parades ran smoothly, and the dance set the attendance record for all Homecoming dances. The Student Council was happy with the outcome of the event. After Homecoming, the next event for Student Council was decorating the school for Christmas. They have many decorations that they use each year in the lobby, cafeteria, and this year, the teacher's lounge. They also sponsored the window decorating contest. As soon as Christman vacation was over, it was time to organize the Sno-ball activities. For Sno-ball, there is a mini spirit week and a short assembly to introduce the court members. The king and queen aren't announced until the dance. Sno-ball went over very well, setting the attendance record for Sno-ball dances. On April 7, 1987, sixteen underclass Student Council members attended a leadership motivation assembly at John Glen High School in Bay City. It was really good, said Patty Davis, freshman, I wish that more people could have gone. Besides all of these organized activities, the Student Council was also responsible for running the malt machine during lunch hours throughout the year. Towards the end of the year, the Student Council chooses its new members.Those new members have a meeting before the end of the year to choose their new officers.

The Drama Club is made up of people who are interested in theatre. They help the advisor and director. Miss White, choose the plavs by offering the student's point of view. They also are in charge of keeping the backstage and the storage areas clean. This year the Drama Club also set up a Point system by which members can earn pins and bars for participation in activities.

On April 16, TV Channel 4 taped live these students to be presented on public TV with a message from the Cros-Lex students reminding everyone about Prom and not to drink and drive. These were all designed to help make Prom safer and enjoyable for all. Radio advertisements were sent out bv S.A.D.D. members on WMIC In Sandusky concerning the alcohol hazards. Many efforts were made bv the S.A.D.D. members during the year to help make the program better and hopefully make more students and the public aware of the dangers related with drinking and driving. They also urged people not to take drugs, although it was not part of S.A.D.D.'s contract. (back) President. Michael Cadotte. Vice-President. Hollv Pitraqo, Laura Vanderwalker.

The story that we always hear from our parents is the way that school used to be when they were attending. This statement holds some truth and some fiction. Our school has changed in many ways. Things are different today than when our parents went to school. More classes are being offered and widening the opportunity for each student. There have been many changes made, but all of them were made with the intention of making our school able to give the best education possible. Sometimes parents don't always feel that the school is trying their best to do the right thing for everyone involved. Many classes have been added to the selective list the last couple of years. Every area, such as math, science, English and social studies, have been added to in different ways. In the business area, we have picked up accounting, office procedures and many typing classes. The science department has concentrated on preparing career-bound students. The English department has begun offering advanced classes to better prepare you for college. In the math area, we have become more informed and updated. Languages have also been offered making it easier to learn a foreign language. Many more areas have been improved upon. With the students' desire to learn and the staffs' desire to teach, our academic program can only get better. During his history lecture, Mr. Regan wonders what he snould cover next.

It is a class where progress can actually be seen within students. An art gallery was started in the library this vear with a variety of different artistical drawings from advanced art students. This gallerv gave students a chance to show their work and at the same time show others the beauty of art within our building. Sophomore. Lynette Brown, an Art 1 student, has done an excellent job according to instructor, Mr. Randv Simmons. To me, art is a wav to express yourself; not in words but visually. There are things 1 can put into a picture that I can't explain, but others using their imagination can find their own meaning to my composition. This is very important to me to be able to communicate to others without speaking. I hope that 1 can continue with this in my later life, and make a career out of something I really enjoy doing, said Lynette. Senior, Debbie Kandler, an Art 4 student who has done a great variety of school and community related art drawings says, To me, art is very exciting and yet challenging. At the same time, art savs a lot about a person. It shows all vour creativity and imagination which everyone has. Art is a very important part of mv life because I am persuing a career in it and 1 hope I become very successful at it someday.

ACADEM1C5 IP Number 1 Band Makes Cros-Lex We re awesome! said Jenny Wall, sophomore. That sums up the attitudes of most of the members of the 1986-87 symphonic band. At band camp, which was held at Northwood Institute, the veteran band members brushed up their skills and taught the rookies how to march. Said Erik Sacco, freshman, It was kind of scary, because we didn't know what to expect. But, by the end of band camp, everyone was well on their way to feeling comfortable. It was great, because I made so many new friends, said freshman, Jeff Roe. During marching season, the band members rehearsed every day during class and on Wednesday nights. Often, the majorettes and flags could be found working after school also. Once marching season was over, the band had just a few weeks to prepare for their Christmas concert. The jazz band, which was started by Mr. Bush in October, also performed at this concert. Both bands were well received. With the Christmas concert behind them, the band began preparing for the most exciting part of the year - festival. The band attended district festival in Mayvillle, where the hard work really paid off. They performed three concert numbers and two sight reading Pieces. After the performance, the band members crowded around the score sheet to wait for their marks to be posted. It was surely worth the wait, as they were awarded the highest score possible, straight I's! When asked how she felt, freshmen, Jill Brach said, “I was honored to be playing with upperclassmen who had so much experience. I realized they weren't just 'in band' they were 'musicians.' With this thought, the band began preparing to make Cros Lex history - to get a I a state festival. On April 25, 1987, the band did just that! Thev not only got a I, they got straight I's!

On May 6, the jazz band attended their first festival. They performed three pieces for which they received an overall II rating. They felt it was a good learning experience for the group. To wrap up the concert season, the band had one last concert on May 13. During this concert, some important band awards were given out. First of all, the senior flags and the senior majorette were recognized for their work. Secondly, the four Taton scholarships were awarded to Josette Rechul, Carrie McGhee, Lisa Fitch, and Amv Falls. The next award, the Amy Taton spirit award, was given to junior, Holly Pitrago. And lastly, the John Phillip Sousa award was presented to Josette Rechul.

VARSITY FOOTBALL 124 Varsity Plays Toughest Schedule Ever Varsity Football ended the season at 3-6 overall and 1-4 in the league. Starting out with two consecutive victories over Yale and Sandusky, the league schedule was found to be a little tougher until a big win over Algonac during homecoming week. The toughest schedule in the state was played by playing two eventual state champions. Marysville and Detroit Country Day. Personal achievements happened daily. Each player grew and developed throughout the season. Prospects of next year make you excited about the next challenge. A strong showing by the J.V. and 8th grade teams promise a bright future for the football program at Cros-Lex, said Coach Radske.

VARSITY FOOTBALL 125 New Ideas For ’86 Beginning a new program is especially hard on seniors who return tor their last year of competition. They not only have to learn new techniques and processes, Out forget the old, which may Oe the hardest thing to do. The new system Coach Radske initiated here was the I Formation of offense which utilizes one strong runner. This runner needs time to develop to read keys. Our varsity tall Oacks had this problem throughout the fall. The expense to read their blocks, and then to cut back against tne grain. The 6 Detense was used. This is a tour man front using two tackles, and two ends, it also utilizes four linebackers and a three deep secondary. I thought detensively we played well throughout the tall. Our inability tor proper secondary rotation caused many cheap touchdowns. But our constant practice on basic s kept improving our detense as the season went on, said Coach Radske.

Highlighting the season was a 31-0 victory over St. Clair after a Ous-semi accident, and a 28-28 tie with Detroit Country Day scoring fourteen points In the last three minutes of the game. This season was definately an exciting year because of our record and we gave our best effort to reach the goals that Coach Motte set for us. We proved this when we tied Detroit Country Day and shut out St. Clair 31-0 after our bus accident. Next year we'll definately be at our best, said Ed Lara. The defense was led by Mike Hinjosa, Dommc Serra, and Tom Hurley as the teams leading tacklers, allowing 11.5 points a game.

JV FOOTBALL 129 Unity Shows In Freshman Team Coach Larsen and Coach Fracassa had their work cut out for them this year. With a new head coach coming to our school this meant a new system of offense and defense had to be learned by both coaches and players. Their record was 1 and 4 for the year. They started off against arch rival Marysville and lost by a score of 12 to 10. The closest they have come in many years beating Marysville. Coach Larsen said, Our main goal was to teach the new system of offense and defense and disipline, good sportsmanship and to beleive in themselves as a team. I think most of the above had been accomplished. They never gave up when the chips were down, and 1 think next year they will show a lot more because of this year's experience. Coach Fracassa said, “It was important to stick together as a team. No matter how good an individual is, if team effort isn't there, we can't win. Considering the Freshman Football team had some tough JV teams on their schedule, overall they did well and next year will be a better team for it.

Dedication was a major part of our season. When our coach broke his leg he only missed one meet of ours , said Jim Matthews. This year Cross Country wa3 lacking a girls team. Although there were three girls who ran, they could not compete as a team and therefore ran individually winning their own seperate awards. Coach Groner said, The league was extremely tough. There are two schools ranked in the state who we competed with, and we did a good job. Cross Country placed 0-3 in the league, partially because of having no girls team.

Hustle, Rebounding, and Desire Highlight Season borne of the team's strong points included good free throw percentage, good team balance in all areas, hustle and desire. The weak points were poor shooting percentages and turnovers. The senior leadership has been good, said Coach Harbour, “and the co-captains Rhonda Shell and Jenny Linhard represented the team well. Besides being a co-captain. Shell also averaged five rebounds per game, making her the team's leading rebounder. Besides Linhard and Shell, other team leaders included junior Becky Lacy, the most improved player, and senior Traci Stephens, who led the team in steals, averaging three per game. There wasn't any one person that was the best—we all put in a little bit, said Stephens, adding, we all could get along as friends, and that's what counted. Coach Harbour added that, It is the coach's desire that the athletes have learned, improved, and enjoyed themselves. He also noted that the biggest thrill of the season was defeating Algonac at home on Parents' Night.

Although their record was two wins and thirteen losses, Mr Roberts, who coached the team, said, Even though some of the scores were one-sided, I feel we never stopped trying to compete. He also noted that everyone gained experience, because anyone who was not injured played a minimum ot forty quarters, which is better than half a game each. Team leaders throughout tne season were Dee Peters with twenty-one steals and ninety points, Ann Kautz with sixty-eight rebounds, and Sue Linhard and Shelly Coon who each had three blocked shots. Team strengths included forty-six percent at free throw shooting, hustle, and the love ot playing the game.

Golfers Drag Through Their Wettest Season Mrs. Trepod, Chip Dennison, John Wyett,Steve Soper, Geoff Mee, Matt Tabin, Chad Wilson, Tod Johnson. Birtties, bogeys, and bad weather were all major contributors to the 1986 golf season, with bad weather being the most major of the three. Most of the season was played during the month of September, in which record amounts of rainfall were recorded in this area and other places. This gave the team only one opportunity to golf on a sunny day; all other meets were played in dreary weather. Miss Trepod was the coach of the golf team this year, taking over for Mr. Erich Haunstein, who was coach for the 1985-1986 season. Most of the golfers felt that the change of coaches didn't effect the performance of the team as a whole. Miss Trepod commented on the team, saying, “1 appreciate their efforts, and would like to congratulate them on their results. She was also happy with the win over Algonac. Cros-Lex 258 Pt.

Senior Leadership Helps Cheerleaders Have A Good Year Because only four of the ten members went to cheerleading camp,the year started out slow for the varsity cheerleading squad of 1986-1987, The the girls spent a lot of time practicing for games and working on other projects, such as preparing pep rallys, making the football players spirit presents , and sponsoring a cheerleading clinic for grades K-8. The cheerleaders practiced once a week during the football season. When they went to competition at Central Michigan University on November 1, 1986, they practiced from 6:00-8:00 a.m. and from 3:15-5:30 p.m. Even after all of this hard work, the squad didn't place. After competition, the cheerleaders began preparing for the basketball season, but ran Into many problems. Some of the girls were getting sick, and senior Carrie McGhee injured her knee at a St. Clair game at the beginning of the season. She was not able to cheer again until districts, and the squad had to make many last minute changes to cover up holes in the formations.

CHEERLEADING 148 Cheerleaders Get High Honors At Camp Being a cheerleader takes a lot of hard work and determination, but the girls on the J.V. and Varsity squads at Cros-Lex were well-rewarded for their efforts. From July 27-30, 1986, the Cros-Lex 86-87 cheerleaders stayed at Central Michigan University to attend the Dynamic Cheerleaders Association camp. During these four days, the cheerleaders spent most of their time learning new cheers, mounts, and routines from the DCA staff. All of this effort finally paid off for the girls when they took almost every first place trophy and ribbon that the camp has to offer. Some first place awards taken by the squad included dorm decorations, squad unity, super squad, and a first place win over seventeen other squads for talent and ability In cheerleading. Unity awards are given to the squad that shows the most concern for each other, encourages each other, and who work together best as a team. Getting the unity award was overwhelming to me, said Coach Larsen, because It Is a very important award at camp. She also commented that, It's a once In a lifetime thing to win the trophy. But, she wouldn't mind if It happened every year. This Is the first time In six years that Cros-Lex cheerleaders have received a first place trophy.

Actually, said Danielle Haste j, captain of the squad, I thought we were pretty good. This is the best year we've had in cheerleading.

At the regional competition, Jerry Woodruff showed off his wrestling skill by placing in the top four. By doing so he became the only wrestler in Cros-Lex history to ever make It to state competition. Woodruff come home from the state tournament with sixth place, a great accomplishment. The all area wrestlers, selected by the Times Herald each year, were Jerry Woodruff, Tom Lamere, and Brain Torzewski.

Although the Cros-Lex team was the most exciting team in recent years the St. Clair league overall was the strongest it has ever been. There were no weak teams In the St. Clair league and most matches were very evenly contested. The Pioneers had four five set matches. They managed to defeat the St. Clair team in a five set thriller at home. The team won six non-league matches with the highlight of the year being the teams performance in a tournament at Dryden. During that tournament, the team won their way Into the semi-final match where they were defeated by the Capac team 15-13, 15-12. They defeated the Armada team, who were the eventual winners of the tournamnet. Cros-Lex was the only team to beat Armada which they did by the scores of 15-8, 15-7. No other team even won a game from Armada. The Pioneers were led by veteran seniors, Jenny Llnhard and Captain Kim Todd. Newcomers to the team who played extremely well were seniors, Roberta Romero, foreign exchange student, Yuko Uehera and first year varsity player sophomore, Amy Slemen. The loss of junior, Denise Edwards, due to an ankle injury was a very damaging blow.

It's cold outside and there is nothing to do with yourself. Soon your favorite television programs become a real bore. The people around vou start to get on your nerves and everything becomes too routine. It's time to find something fun and exciting to do for entertainment. Well, the 1986-87 Croswell-lexington Boy's Basketball Team offered just that. Fun and exltement were just a few things the basketball team had to offer. Since five regular-season games went Into overtime, the crowd had many nights on the edge of their seats. Every game was fast-moving and filled with action. The 1985-86 team had a tough time competing in the league last season because they were such a young team, but that was not true this year. Our team was ready to show the other area teams that we aren't just anynody—we are the Cros-Lex Pioneers. The dedication and determination contributed by all fifteen members was sure to lead them into an awesome season. The season was definitely nothing short of awesome. Early in the season we had a victory over Peck scoring ninety-two points during the game. During the Yale game Steve Soper jammed it which showed that Cros-Lex was going to be tough. Tough is what we were when Brian French had a game high thirty-two points against Algonac. After defeating St. Clair twice in overtime, the Pioneers were soon labeled the team to beat. These are just a few of the highlights that made the season so rpemorable. The varsity team this year made our school, our community and other area teams very proud. We were well-represented and the team was supported by all.

Right from the beginning everyone knew we were going to go far, and that's exactly what happened. The team went into districts very confident and this confidence made them district champions. The Pioneers travelled to Oxford for the regional game against Flint Beecher. An outstanding performance and an attitude that they could do very well against Beecher created a lasting impression. Although Cros-Lex was defeated bv two points, 47-45, in overtime, the Pioneers were looked upon as the real winners bv manv. The team finished with a 20-4 record. They took second place in the St. Clair Area League with a record of seven and three.

VARSITY BASKETBALL 165 They Never Gave Up The Junior varsity team's record didn't show the amount of effort that was put forth, but effort is what they gave. All fourteen team members were more than wiling to work hard and to be dedicated players. Although the team came up with more losses than wins, they never gave up. Their attitudes were the key to their positive outlook during the season. They never were willing to settle for anything less than the best that they were capable of doing. With all of the enthusiasm that the team showed, next year should be a year of improvement. It will be another brand-new year to start fresh.

The team worked hard and played better each week, said Mr. Radske, who took over the coaching position held last year by Mr. Hauenstein. Although the team's record was seven wire and twelve losses, they put a lot of effort Into their playing. Four of the nineteen games were lost In overtime; those teams were Port Huron Northern, Deckervllle, St. Clair, and Marysville. Many of the other games were lost by five points or less. Some kids played an Important role In making an exciting season. Dan Torzewakl, the leading scorer, was helped out by Chris Smith, leading rebounder, Tim Tabln, team leader In assist, and Fidel Mendoza, who led the team In steals. These players were a major contribution to the team. The freshmen players will move up to Junior Varsity next year, and will be striving for an even better season than this year.

VARSITY SOFTBALL 171 Varsity Softball Team Makes Improvements From Last Year The softball team of 1986-87 spent most of their season trying to improve their record from last year. Although the girls' record didn't improve as much as they would of liked, Coach Hegyan says that they vastly improved from last year scorewise , which is the start of building up a good team with a strong offense and defense. The girls didn't have much to build on this vear—of the eleven people on the team, there were only four returning seniors to offer their experience to the other girls. Senior Julie Wilkinson, captain of the team, said, We had a lot of fun working together, but with a lot of voung players, we didn't have the experience it took to win. One of the weaknesses that the team encountered this year was the inexperience of the Pitchers. The Pioneer girls weren't able to compete speed-wise with the other league teams because we are not involved in softball vear round. The major factor that brought the team down was the amount of careless errors they had. The girls usually had one bad inning per game, and often could not recover and make a comeback. This attributed to the number of losses the team experienced. With the large number of young players on the team this year, the girls should improve their win-loss record greatly in the coming seasons, because they will have experienced players returning to the team. Senior Kim Todd agrees: This year everybody worked together to build a team that will be a lot stronger next year .

Softball Tries To Build Defense The Junior Varsity Softball team of 1987.made some improvements each game they played, and although Coach Don Roberts anticipated they'd get better, the girls couldn't seem to pull it together enough to win even one game. In the beginning of the season, the girls didn't have much practice time together, because many of them were busy with work and other school activities, which was a factor in the large number of losses. Coach Roberts noted that the girls improved scorewise after the first of Mav because the good weather allowed them to be outside more, and being in the sun caused them to have better attitudes toward playing. A big factor that hurt the defense was the team's pitching. A fast pitcher is one of the strongest points a softball team can have. Although the J.V. pitchers were accurate, they did not have the speed it required to defeat other teams with fast pitchers, noted Coach Roberts. Commenting on the girls' attitudes toward softball, Coach Roberts said, I couldn't ask for a better group for wanting to learn and wanting to be coached. Beth Sylla, sophomore, and Trlcla Hitchings, freshman, are ready for the next play. JV SOFTBALL 174 Jenny Cutler, sophomore, is called out at second base.

JV SOFTBALL 175 Tennis Players Experience A Learning Year The Cros-Lex tennis team of 1987 was a very young and inexperienced group of students who put forth a lot of effort and hard work. Only three seniors returned to the team this year to offer their experience, which made it difficult for them to compete in the tough St. Clair Area League. Ronda Shell and Jenny Linhard, two of the returning seniors, were competing in a boys league, along with the rest of the team. Although their results weren't what they would have liked them to have been, these two girls played very well and put forth a lot of effort. Kraig Nadjkovic, junior, concentrates on his return during his singles match. Scott Hogan, the other returning senior, highlighted the season by playing at the always-tough number one singles position on the team. Scott had a good season, playing very well and winning several tough three set matches. Coach Jack Overpeck noted that Hogan was very competitive, even in his losing efforts.

These two will be back next year to help bring the team to the end of a successful season. Coach Overpeck also said, Contributing to the team were several new players who gained valuable experience. They Included one junior, three sophomores, and three freshmen, all of them earning their varsity letter their first year of tennis. The team also had several freshmen on the Junior Varsity squad gaining experience, so things should look brighter for the Cros-Lex tennis team in the future. Coach Overpeck goes on to say, Overall, this was a very cooperative and enthusiastic team and 1 am very pleased with their attitudes. He feels that they have learned some valuable lessons that can be applied not only to tennis, but to life. too. After all, isn't that really the most important reason for sports?

The girls finished their regular dual meets with a 3-3 overall record and were 2-3 in the league for a fourth place finish. When the season began, there were twenty-three girls on the team. Twenty-two finished the season, and of these girls, nineteen of them earned their varsity letter. In order to earn a varstly letter, the person must make at least five points for the team. This is done by scoring five points for a first place win, four points for a second place, three for a third, and so on. The team can look back on a season that had many top performances. First, the team was undefeated the whole year in the mile relay. The junior, sophomore, and freshmen girls that ran this race included Laura Partlo, Debbie Dennison, Becky Lacey, Elesha Carlo, and Ann Kautz. Also commended for an excellent record was Elesha Carlo, who had an undefeated season in the 440 run. Leading the team point-wise was Mari Lockwood, one of the two seniors, who had an outstanding season. She was the overall top point scorer, and ended the season with a 4-2 record in the two mile run. Coach Trepod goes on to say. “This team will be remembered for their cooperation and effort. They helped to demonstrate teamwork, sportsmanship, and a desire to give their best.

TRACK 181 Boys' Track Team Improves Over Last Year The 1987 bov's track team showed enough potential and determination to improve their record over last year. They did this with the help of Coach Glenn Groner. Earlier In the season. Coach Groner stated, 1 hope that by the end of the season we will be able to compete with the teams that will donlmate the season, but realistically, I feel that we will finish towards the middle of the pack. The Pioneers did finish toward the middle of the pack, ending the season with a record of five wins and three losses. Mr. Groner also went on to say, If we could win meets on desire alone, we'd be champions, but as long as the team works hard I'll be happv. The boys had eighteen people on the team. They were led by seniors John Bento, John Slemen and Rick Gulterrez, who all put forth a good effort to lead the team to a better season.

The season highlight for the vear was wlmning the Sanilac County Baseball Tournament on May 2. Up until May 11 we had a shot at winning the league title, but due to some unfortunate circumstances, that goal cannot be reached, says Coach Jackson. The old phrase 'wait until next vear' is applicable. Over all there has been a lot of improvement over last year. Mr. Jackson also said this was the best season he's ever had as a coach, 15-6. We were extremely competitive In Sanilac County, but once the league started the competition was tougher, 6-4. Rudy Lara, junior, said, It was a good season with a winning record which included a lot of improvements over last year. It was just great to be part of It. Pitching was very good during most of the season. John Wyett was 7-2 with five shutouts and an ERA of 1.03. Batting average for the team was a respectable .290, fifty points up from last year. Two outfielders led the team with Craig Lentz at .386 and “Most Improved Player, Steve Turner, at .370. Mike Suiter was right behind them with a .328 average. On the negative side the defense fielding average was .859 when .900-.950 would be respectable. Errors hurt us In key situations. We got a real boost from ex-Michigan State pitcher Tom Wilson who worked with us the last half of the season and helped us greatly with his expertise. (Back row) Coach Mike Jackson. Mark Levitt.

By putting It all together, we came out on top, said Rudy Lara, Junior. After Cros-Lex defeated Deckervllle on April 22, they qualified for the Sanilac County Tournament. During Deckerville's game, John Wyett had his third shutout and one hitter. He also had a double, triple, and two RBI's. At the tournament John Wyett had fourth shutout. Both Steve Soper and Steve Turner had two RBI's In the Carsonvllle-Port Sanilac game. Rudy Lara had seven strong innings in the Peck game and Steve Soper had four RBI's during this time.

BASEBALL 188 J.V. Pioneers Have A Strong Season The Junior Varsity baseball team had a very good season in 1987, ending up with a record of 7 wins and 6 losses. The team proved to be very successful when using the concept oi every player playing in every game, said Mr. Motte, coach of the team this year. This allowed each player to gain experience and playing time, which will be helpful to the team next year. The team depended on some very good and reliable pitchers to help lead them to a successful season. Leading the pitchers was sophomore Michael Hinojosa, who had eleven strikeouts against Marine City, twelve against Yale, seven against Marysville, five against Algonac, and eleven more against Marine City. Following up Hinojosa was Chip Dennison, junior, who had five strikeouts against Yale and fifteen against Peck. Mike Ebner, sophomore, also had a good season, with thirteen strikeouts against Richmond and seven against St. Clair. As a whole, the team averaged ten runs a game and had a .456 batting average. These were major contributing factors in the number of wins for the season. The team also experienced some tough losses. Among these were a 9-10 defeat by Algonac, and a 9-16 loss against Marysville. Highlighting the season, though, were two sweeps against Yale, with game scores of 15-1 and 16-0, and a 16-6 victory over Marine City.
