Eagle Star Deckerville Community Schools 2633 Black River Street Deckerville, Michigan 48427 SLIPPERY WHEN WET. Not only can the halls here at DHS get slip- pery. but life in general can be a slip- pery course. Some will fall into the path of not doing homework; others may fall into the good pattern of studying and getting good grades. No matter what path you slide into, it is hoped you don’t slide too far in the wrong direction. Photo by Becky McCully. Volume 41 (313) 376-3875 I Slippery When Wet Be careful. Don’t slip. The slipperiest course of anyone’s life is their high school years. Everyone here at DHS slides into their own lit- tle pattern of doing things. For some it may be a good pattern, but for others it may be a bad pattern. How many of you can truthfully say school is an easy course? If anyone out there can, they are a better person than most of us. We picked our theme from the title of a very popular tape by Bon Jovi. This tape conveys a general feeling that is current- ly among the students. It is hoped that this theme will draw you into our book and help you feel a part of it. For many of us, school is a cautious trip. Everyone wants to take the right path whether it be in our studies, with our friends, or just doing what we want. But the main thing is doing good in school, for in- stance, keeping our grades up and always trying to do better than the time before. This may come easy to some but may prove to be a real chal- lenge to others. The most important pattern for many of us is to deal with peer pressure - doing what is right for us not what others think we should do. Friends can make you do a lot of things you don’t want to do and you would never have done before. If you do happen to slip the wrong way, it may be hard to get going on the right path again. Also, for a chosen few, they may have a hard time trying to decide what to do after graduation. Some may want to go to college, get a job, get married, or go into the armed services. Just deciding on one of these can be a slippery procedure. It is hoped, however, that no matter what path you are taking, you are going in the right direction. If for some reason you’re headed the wrong way, you can soon turn back to the right way. Just be careful not to slip into a slump as sometimes we often do. -Teresa Mosher BRAIN IN ACTION.

Thumb area deluged with rain this fall. Rain was the dominating word of this fall. For 24 straight days, rain continued to pour, flooding everything in its path. Lower Michigan was in a state of ruin, and many farmers were unable to harvest their crops. Months later, the farmers were still recovering from the economical and emo- tional shock of the flood. Due to the crunch in the economy as the result of the flooding, the proposal to in- crease the millage in order to build a new wing on the school failed. Voters dismissed the proposal by a two-to-one margin. Though the year was started with some gloomy news, the year had its glorious moments too. The Deckerville Eagle football team had a 9-0 season and captured the NCTL cham- pionship title. School spirit soared and many fans came out to support the team and lead them on to victory. This past summer had its moments too. All the pleas for funds to complete the school swimming pool finally paid off. The pool was finally com- pleted and was in full use. Many people, young and old alike, enjoyed the benefits of the pool; and they learned to swim, improved their swim- ming skills, and had a great time. What else was happening in the 1986-87 school year? Many trends loomed over the school year. The word was that if you were planning to be hip, baggy was definitely in. Mid-thigh sweaters with bold colors or designs were hot, especially when worn with leggings or Guess jeans. In the matter of hair, banana clips were a definite must. For a spark of interest, many peo- ple even added color to their hair. -Lisa Howard SCHOOL SPIRIT SOARS!!

Here it is another week full of tests and reports all due on the same day; the major attitude is, ”1 can’t wait for the this day to end or the weekend to come!” What goes on in a student’s life after hours is as an integral part of that stu- dent’s education as the actual course work in school. Friendships are created. Indivi- dual styles are developed. The student becomes a thriving part of the human exis- tence-good or bad, he goes thundering on. Student life is that first step out into the world of adults. Arriving at adulthood for some can be a very slippery course! It can be full of many pitfalls and hazards. Peer pressure, trying to fit in, and making mon- ey are all crucial areas in a student’s life. On the lighter side of things students do exist also for fun! Looking forward to events such as dances, games, spirit week and homecoming, the winter festival, and just getting out of the house for the evening can make the everyday drudgery of school tolerable for a student. It more or less completes the student’s education. -Kelly Vogel LOOKING GUILTY, seniors Jody Goller and Tracey Peruski try to smile their way out of getting caught snceking snow into school!

It’s a mad dash, for many, to get home, grab a quick bite to eat, run back out the door, and make it to work by 4:00. For many students in the 11th and 12th grades this is a daily routine. Why do they do this? ”1 got a job so that I could have the extra money I needed to buy things I couldn’t talk my mom into buying for me,” stat- ed senior Christine Falk. Students who have jobs will spend working an average of 20 hours a week. This may not seem like much, however; when they spend approximately 6-7 hours in school and then go to work until late, it leaves little time for homework and school-related activities. Some students, however, want a job for more reasons than just money. ”1 wanted to ex- pand my responsibilities and at the same time prepare myself for a fi- nancially successful fu- ture,” said senior Tammy Warczinsky. Planning for the future has a big part in many students lives, and that will have a lot to do with them getting a good job. Life isn’t all fun and games; and for many, they will learn this after they get their first job. Not many young employ- ees enjoy working, but when pay day comes, it makes working all worthwhile. -Karen Woodard WORKING FOR A LIVING is jr.

A stunned Sandi Roggenbuck is crowned 1986-87 homecoming queen. ’’Tonight’s the night!” That’s exactly what every student thought as home- coming night finally rolled around the comer. Having rained all week, there were many sighs of relief as the sky cleared on Friday, October 10. Naturally, we were ex- pecting rain or snow as it had done this for the last few years. To serve on the home- coming court two stu- dents were elected from each class. From the sen- ior class there were six chosen, but only two of them would become king and queen. All represen- tatives were chosen a week before so they would have plenty of time to prepare themselv- es for the actual moment that they were to repre- sent their class on home- coming night. Of the three senior boy repre- sentatives, Joel Bowerman was an- nounced king earlier in the day at the pep assembly. Much hard work and thought were given to the floats as each class chose a theme and built from there. The finished pro- ducts of the team work were a big part of the pa- rade held before the game. The juniors pulled it off with the winning float. On that evening, the homecoming court and cheerleaders were lead through town by the high school band. The game had a great start as the Eagles piled up points against the Owen-Gage Bulldogs. During the first half of the game, the senior re- presentatives waited very patiently for the queen to be announced. When the time arrived, everyone cheered as they watched Sandi Roggenbuck be crowned the 1986-87 Homecoming Queen. All of the hard work and patient waiting paid off when the game was over. The Eagles won against the Owen-Gage Bulldogs, 41-6. -Candy Durham WATCH OUT as you enter the Danger Zone ! That’s how the Juniors put it with their prized possession, the winning float.

Homecoming - 11 All the wrong things done all the right ways Cheating is sometimes the easy way (but the wrong way) out. ’’The test is today?” How many times have you heard this? For some students, the easiest way of getting around forgot- ten homework and tests is the good ol’ fashioned way of cheating. For some students, the so-called ’’joint project” is attempted. This is when one person, usually a student who studied, passes the answers around the classroom. Sometimes a teacher, not knowingly, will throw away tests after running them off. The lucky stu- dent who finds the dis- carded test will then distribute them to all of their friends, and then they in turn to their friends, and so on. Other common ways of cheating are to write answers on desks, folders, clothing, and skin. But probably the most com- I’VE GOT AN A” in science . SOLD!!

This is when students write the answers on a tiny sheet of paper to aid them during the crisis of a test. Cheating can also be expensive. Some people pay a good typist to type their term papers and to correct their grammar and misspelled words. Students have also been known to pay a pretty penny for upcoming tests and old exams. Education is important and should be taken seri- ously. Even though we sometimes fall behind, it is still no excuse to cheat. What we learn in school is taught to us for a reason. It would be nice if we could keep this thought in mind the next time we are tempted. -Lisa Spaetzel SNEAKING A PEEK.

Hitting the town! — The weekend has arrived, at last!! At last!! The weekend has finally arrived. It’s time to PARTY! I’m looking good as I head out the door. ’’See ya later, ma.” I yell over my shoulder. I’m ready for a hot night on the town. As I hop into the drivers seat of my parents’ car I am feeling on top of the world. I’m my own boss for the night. Everyone lives for the weekend! Isn’t that a fact. It is a time to get away from our problems of the week and have some fun. Whether you’re on a date with that special someone or just out with your friends, you’re bound to make this night a blast. I’m not so sure about this date I thought to myself. I sure do wish that he would say some- thing. Finally! I think he is going to speak. ’’There is a great mov- ie on at the show,” he says, ’’and would you like to go?” ’’Sure,” I say. 1 just have to make this date perfect; he is the most gorgeous guy I have ever met, and I just have to go out with him again. While at the same time he is thinking--Why did I ask her that?? She prob- ably hates the movie that is showing. I’ll never get a date again, she will go back and tell her friends what a nerd I am. But in the end everything works out and later you laugh about your first thoughts about that date. What can be more fun than spending the weekend with your friends? ’’Hop in every- one.” I say to my friends. ’’Let’s take a couple of laps around town and then stop at McDonald’s for a big mac and fries.” We talk and laugh together for the rest of the evening. ’’Well, it’s time for me to get home now. I’ll see you next weekend for sure!!!!” What a blast! The weekend is over. But I had a great time and 1 am ready for NEXT WEEKEND!! -Karen Woodard Weekends - 15 What’s going on?? Relax, it’s only spirit week. ’’Would you wear that to school??? I wouldn’t be caught dead in some- thing that looked like that!” my friend said to me, pointing at a person walking towards us dressed as Madonna. ”Oh my! Look at that! Who would wear a mask to school?” she asked. ’’Don’t get so excited,” I exclaimed!! ”It’s spirit week. People are allowed to do that. We are all getting ready for the big game Friday night. And to get everyone fired up we have spirit week, which is where each day of the week we dress up to show our school spirit.” During the week each class decorates their hall- ways with bright stream- ers and colorful balloons. Also starting Monday night each class gets to- gether at somebody’s house and starts to build a float representing their class. Spirit week also gets the team fired up for a victory and makes every- body let lose and get crazy, even the teachers. During this time many new friendships are created and old friend- ships are made stronger. -Victoria Moeller WHO IS THAT HAIRY CREATURE? Oh, that's just jr. Kevin Pozsgay dressed up on costume day.

HERE COMES PETER COTTONTAIL hopping down the bunny trail bringing eggs and candy to all of the children who have faith in him. How old were you when you lost faith in the Easter bunny? Photo by Karen Woodard. Believe it or not! When did you stop believing? T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Remember that Christ- mas Eve when you laid awake in bed all night waiting to hear those sleigh bells in the snow? You listened through the whole night but there was nothing. In the morning you ran out to the Christmas tree to find all your presents from Santa. You knew he didn’t land on your roof top last night so how could this be? That’s when most chil- dren start to suspect that something just didn’t fit. The one day that is never forgotten from your childhood is the time you were sitting on Santa’s lap when you hugged him, and his long white beard fell off to re- veal a short black one. You stared at this man in awe until you identified him as your next-door neighbor. That’s the day you found all your suspicions true. After that you won- dered about the tooth fairy, Easter bunny, and boogie man. Do you recall the time when the tooth fairy for- got to exchange your tooth for a quarter and your dad said, ’’Leave your tooth under your pillow again and I’m sure that I, I mean the tooth fairy, won’t forget it tonight.” How about the time when the Easter bunny stored the candy he was bringing for you in your parent’s closet, and you found it a week before Easter. Those three imaginary figures were fun to believe in when you were a little kid, but what about the boogie man? He’s the scary guy that hid in the closet or under the bed that your babysitter threatened you with. Can’t you just hear her saying now, ”If you get out of that bed, the boogie man will get you for sure!” So you didn’t dare get out of bed; instead you laid there very still with your eyes wide open. Finally, after a year of sleepless nights with the babysitter, you realized that there couldn’t possi- bly be anything in the closet or under the bed, because if there was, it would have gotten you by now. Now that you’re a teenager, isn’t it great to look back and remember how much fun you had believing in these imagi- nary figures? It almost makes you wish you were little again, doesn’t it? -Candy Durham When You Stop Believing - 19 Beat the winter blahs Winter festival helps to break the monotony. Taking a three-day break from the winter blahs is what the DHS students do during their annual winter festival. From funky sunglasses to the wild jams, the rowdy students show their spirit. This year the winter festival was held on Feb- ruary 25-27. One of the many activities that the students participated in were the choosing of the Prince and Princess of the senior class and the Sweetheart Court from HOW SWEET IT IS! Here are seniors Kelly Vogel and Dennis Philpot representing the prin- cess and prince of the senior class for the winter festival Sweetheart Court. Photo by Kelly Kcrbyson.

This year’s Prince and Prin- cess were Dennis Philpot and Kelly Vogel. Repre- senting the Sweetheart Court were juniors Kevin Pozsgay and Penny Hammerle, sophomores Richard Barker and Tonya Klaus, and fresh- men Dan Brown and Dana Nutzmann. This annual festival also helps to spice up the boring everyday routine by allowing the students to dress in an unusual manner. As for the two dress up days, Wednes- day was punk and concert T-shirt day, and Thursday was beach bum day. On the lighter side of things, Friday was the day to go all out and dress in your best clothes. No one knew who would be on the Sweetheart Court, which would be announced that day at the pep assembly. Some of the other ac- tivities that took place during the pep assembly were a skit performed by the cheerleaders and the ever-so-popular tug of wars between the grades. The 8th grade dominated in the jr. high pull, and the seniors took the championship for the high school. Not only did the win- ter festival turn out to be a huge success, but it most of all helped to break the monotony of the winter doldrums. -Kelly Kerbyson PULLING WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT are juniors Tom Thorold.

Boredom never had a chance to set in for the students involved in organizations at DHS. From National Honor Society to being an office aide, students find some- thing to dive into, to occupy their time. DHS started some new organizations for the students this year. They are the Home Economics Program, the Thespian Troupe, and the Amateur Design Club. A lot of time and effort goes into the clubs and organizations. Many students stay after school, miss lunch hour, and take part in weekend activities to make their club work. The Amateur Design Club, a new club, meets one day a week to work on various art projects. Another one of the new organizations, the Thespian Troupe, has a meeting once a month. This is a national troupe, and you must participate in two school plays to be- come a member. Among school organizations are the those that have been around for many years. These clubs have been an important part of the students’ extra-curricular activities. Business Office Education Clubs (BOEC), National Honor Society, and the math team are a few of the older clubs and are all well represented clubs by the students. These and the other organizations make a student feel important and can even make school fun at times. So dive in and join an organization and see the lighter side of DHS! -Kelly Broughton LET'S GO GOLD! GO MAROON!! Represent- ing the Deckerville marching band is freshman Margo Jones.

At DHS three years of English are re- quired—teaching stu- dents punctuation, sen- tence structure, and grammar usage. If the student is brave enough, he she may choose to take a fourth year of English, College Prep English. It is not a required course, but it is available only to sen- iors so there is as little time as possible be- tween this course and when they attend college. English is important to all students so that they will properly develop their language use, which will be reflected greatly in their speech. The speech class Is also a required course for all students. Being able to speak to the public In an influential way is Important. Students are graded on all types of speeches, from im- promptu to debate speeches. One way students are able to develop their skills in English and speech is through the Business Office Educa- tion Club, BOEC. Busi- ness class students may join this club. Students who are in BOEC compete in all areas of business, as well as in English and speech. No matter what you do In life, your speech and language are very important. They will greatly influence others In the world of jobs and opportunity. -Karen Woodard MARCHING PROUDLY In the parade of presidents, seniors Teresa Mosher and Tammy Warczlnsky represent our school at the State BOEC Con- vention held In Detroit.

FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE A break from the teachers lecturing and assigning homework Is every student's dream. That's exactly what the students get when home economics, agri- cultural, art, or Industrial education classes are Included In their school day schedule. Instead of sitting be- hind a desk for an hour, the students get to make projects with their own two hands, and what better way to learn than by first-hand experience. Home economics has been recently brought back Into this year’s curriculum. It Involves students In cooking, sewing, and learning about living skills. CHIPPIN' AWAY piece by piece of his art project is fresh. Brandon Slater. Only an art student in Art Design could make something out of this piece of wood. Photo by Becky McCully. The students that par- ticipate In agriculture classes do a variety of projects. One project Is to raise livestock, which most students use to show at fairs. FFA, the youth group for agricul- tural, has a tractor field day, In which there are many different types of contests. FFA members also actively partici- pate In local and state competition. Some FFA members take a week- long trip to Kansas City for an annual National FFA Convention. Students get to prac- tice their drawing skills In art class along with painting and sculptur- ing. The students make all kinds of projects with paint, clay, and even macrame. Everything that’s made by the stu- dents Is either dis- played In the school hallway or taken home to enjoy. Anything from kitchen cutting boards to book cases are made In Industrial education classes. Many different machines are used In this class, but the stu- dents learn how to use them safely and skillfully both at the same time. The only way to learn from any of these four areas Is to experience doing It yourself, not by reading from a book or doing written homework I -Candy Durham Ag., Art. Home Ec.. and Ind. Ed. - 27 ACADEMICS CAN BE FUN When most people think of academics, they think of ”bor-r-r- rlng ; but academics can be fun, as the Na- tional Honor Society and academic games teams clearly Illustrate. Through most of the school year, the Nation- al Honor Society’s time Is spent raising funds for the annual trip of their choice. To raise money the members sell can- dy, sponsor dances, and have bottle drives. All of this hard work doesn’t seem that bad when the members are able to look forward to a weekend trip to Toronto. The National Honor Society also helps many people during the year. The members take a day from school to help out with the Special Olympics, and they Christmas carol in the elementary school. They also take some of their own time to tutor some of the high school students who need help with their studies. One competition that our school participates In, other than sports, is the academic games. There are math, English, science, and social studies teams, each consisting of four players and one back- up player. These stu- dents study hard for the competition and are re- warded by either a win or just the pleasure of participating and knowing that they did try. At this year’s aca- demic games Deckerville students came away champions In both science, beating Carsonville-Port Sanilac 4-2, and social studies, edging Marlette 7-5, In very close matches. The math and English teams had strong performances, but neither reached the final round In this single elimination tournament. -Candy Durham LISTENING TO MUSIC IN TORONTO are seniors Karen Stone and Jennifer Slngler.

Music Is the univer- sal language that makes the world go 'round. Music cele- brates life and brings Joy to some, sorrow to others. Music engraves our minds with memo- ries that last forever. Music Is an experience nothing else can touch. The students In the Deckerville band program have felt the thrill of music through their many per- formances. The senior high band kicked off the year with marching season. They performed half-time shows at all home foot- ball games and marched In the Hallow- een and homecoming parades. As all things do, marching season came to an end, but concert season was Just around the corner. The Junior high band was equally busy. In or- der to march In the Hal- loween parade, the Ju- nior high members had to learn the steps and techniques used In pa rade-style marching, which was very hard work. Both the senior and Junior high bands par- ticipated In solo and ensemble, and they came home with excel- lent ratings, which they worked very hard to achieve. Both bands are under the direction of a new band director, Miss Jean Gaertner. She is doing her best to make the bands the success they once were. The senior high band council also presides over activities of both bands. Band council members Include presi- dent Joe Clor, vice president Charlie Cook, secretary Janet Clor, treasurer Ken McVittie, Junior representative Lisa Howard, sopho- more representative Tony Dunlap, freshmen representative Tonya Kamen, and in public relations are Tina Rudduck and Michelle Miller. Both bands participat- ed In many other events Including honors band, mass bands, festi- vals, and pep band. -Lisa Howard GIVING IT THEIR ALL Is the 1986-87 Junior High Band as they pertorm at the annual winter concert.

Band - 31 PLAY IT COOL When you think of fun, do you think of rac- ing down the side of a mountain at an uncon- trollable speed? Perhaps when you reach the bottom, you are unable to stop and end up doing a flip or two before you find yourself lying In a heap of bruised bones at the bottom of a hill. This may not always be the case, but for some new members of the ski club, it may sound a lit- tle familiar. At 3 a.m. on the morning of January 31, members of the ski club headed toward Crystal Mountain for two fun- filled days of skiing. Members who had gone in previous years were able to further develop their skills in ski- ing; and for those who were going for the first time, many memories were made of the first LISTEN TO MEM Coach Longacre, played by Mr. Karl Buhl, states his opinion to Miss Brooks, played by sophomore Nichole Richmond, about her taking his star athlete to par- ticipate In her play.

Another extracurricu- lar activity offered to the students is the dra- ma club. Focusing In on the play Our Miss Brooks,” directed by Miss Jerl Mosher, we find ourselves a teach- er by the name of Miss Brooks who has plenty of teacher troubles, and her escape is in dreaming of a Caribbe- an cruise. She discusses her Ideas with the athletic coach who owns his own sailboat. Miss Brooks suddenly re- alizes that perhaps he is the man” for her. She is happy that she Is not responsible for putting on the play this year. Then it happens! The play Is forced upon her. A battle develops. The coach's star athlete gives up the team to play the leading boy's part. The school board president’s daughter Is determined to play op- posite him, but she reads her lines so poor- ly that Miss Brooks gives the role to a nobody with real talent. Soon after, romance develops between the nobody” and the star athlete. However, the only thing developing between Miss Brooks and the coach is a lot of arguing. By opening night, everything is In shambles. But the play goes on, and everything works out In the play and between the coach and Miss Brooks. -Karen Woodard IT JUST ISN'T FAIR for Faith, played by junior Tina Rudduck. and Elaine, played by sophomore Margo Jones, as they express their grief to each other about not getting a part In their school play.

These faces extend to the seniors, who are desperately wanting out, and their days of counting down are finally coming to an end. And, it continues down to the seventh grade, who so badly want to fit in with everyone, and they are making their transition into high school. We have grown up in these very halls of our school. So much of our lives have changed or will be changed throughout the transaction of becoming a seventh grader to the final moment of graduation. We are making the most of it, and more or less getting a splash out of it! We, in the intention of having fun, have taken advantage of not only our education but of the future that awaits us. We owe great respect to the teachers that we have harrassed every day and to the administra- tion who have given us rules, for our own good, that we have so often broken. In the very walls of this little school that we have here lies a relationship that makes us one big family. Each person, no while enjoying a late summer importance of grade or popularity, adds breeze, you’d never guess that these two their own joy and excitement to one an- JunKKV Staar Du,cber and Kcv,n are th-r’c i;V(� c attempting to escape the doldrums of school while taking a break in the school courtyard. -Lisa Spaetzel Photo by Tom Thorold. People Division - 35 Closeness is the Key for the Class of ’87 Anyone who knows this year’s seniors would definitely have to agree—closeness is what makes this class so special. All throughout the years, the seniors have been the type of group who likes to know what the rest of the gang will be doing before they make their own plans for the weekend. They have done many things together to show their comradship, some of them go- ing back as far as the fifth and sixth grade when the whole class would play togeth- er at recess and pretend they were one big family with moms, dads, brothers, and sisters. During their high school years, they have also done many things as a group. They have held snowmobile parties at Bowermans and Gollers, and many other parties just for the fun of it. This year during Christmas vacation, they even gathered together and went caroling to parents’ and friends’ houses. Along with laughing and having fun together, they have also cryed together. Such a time was when at the begin- ning of their senior year, a very special member of their senior class, Rodney McConnachie, was killed in a tragic auto accident. During this time, when no one want- ed to be alone, the class stayed together that tragic morning. Everything that they do seems to somehow make their friendships stronger. Long after this class has graduated, people will remember them as the class that really cared for each other. -Shellie McVittie THE GUYS.” as they're known to the senior class, enjoy another lunch together.

Photo by Louise Walker. Never Say The best known remedy for the senioritis syndrome is graduation. It's that time of year when the seniors just can't wait to get out of school. Instead of saying good-bye, everybody promises to keep in touch and always remain friends. They look forward to the good times in the future with each other. The seniors also try thinking of what sum- mer jobs will give them the money, but also the flexibility, that they will need to be with their friends. Many feelings go through each senior’s mind at gradua- tion. As the poem ’’Hold onto the Moment” states, ’’Though we don’t know where we’re going, we will cherish where we have been.” Of course, as everybody knows, graduation is a time of Good-Bye happiness, achievement, and sadness. However, instead of dwelling on the ups and downs of graduation, here are a few statements from 1987 seniors on what they will or will not miss from school: ”1 will not miss the class- es.’’--Tracey Peruski. ”1 will miss sports.”-Trevor Wagester. ”1 will miss 5th hour when all the seniors get together in the office and all of the food fights!”-Jody Goller. The most common response of most of the seniors questioned was that they will miss their friends the most. -Kelly Vogel WARM WISHES OF CONGRATU- LATIONS were given to the graduates by the junior honor guards in the re- ceiving line after the graduation cere- mony.

Even though this year’s sen- ior trip was rainy and wet, it didn’t dampen the spirits of the 43 seniors who traveled to Florida for their five-day vaca- tion. The most popular pur- chase at Disney World was not t-shirts or Mickey Mouse ears; it was RAIN PONCHOS! Everyone tried to make the most of the weather and still had a great time at the Magic Kingdom. When they tired of the rides and shows, the seniors enter- tained themselves by splashing each other in the rain puddles. Nobody minded the extra wa- ter since they could already ring the water out of their shoes. After landing in Orlando and checking into the Super 8 Motel, the class headed over to Wet-n-Wild to enjoy their only day of warm weather. The next morning these tour- ists were Disney-World bound. Trips to Epcot Center, Daytona Beach, and Sea World made up the rest of the week. Wednesday at Sea World was sunny, and a few of the girls made the best of the sun and laid out on the hill by the water ski show. By this time everyone was desperate for a tan to prove they had actually been to Florida! A good time was had by ev- eryone, memories were made, and more were created as the classmates shared some of their last moments together! -Kelly Broughton 1 CAN’T WAIT. says senior Joel Bowerman as he and his fellow classmates wait for Shamu the whale to make her appearance.

How can you put into words the feelings for someone that has been a friend, a counselor, and more than anything, a mother. For 74 seniors, Judy Bowerman, the high school secretary, is that special someone. When asked why she is this way, Judy said, ’’The kids make me a caring person; when they hurt, I hurt,” and Judy has proved that over and over again. Throughout the ENJOYING A PEACEFUL MO- MENT. which is rare, is Judy at her •desk. It’s hard to be a mother to the entire senior class! Picture by Tom Thorold. seniors’ six years of high school. Judy was there to offer advice, to listen, to laugh in our happiness, and to cry in our sadness. Judy is one special lady that we will always remember with fondest thoughts. If there’s one thing that the senior class of 1987 will miss at DHS, it will be Judy. We all love her a great deal. -Lisa Spaetzel WITH A LOVING SMILE AND A WARM HEART, Judy Bowerman is surrounded by her 74 children. Picture by Tom Thorold. I CAN SEE HEAVEN IN YOUR EYES!

Junior-Senior Prom A Night of Mystery This year’s prom was an ex- citing event for all who came. The juniors did a fine job decorating the gym. The theme was ’’Heaven In Your Eyes” and the colors were roy- al blue, black, and silver. Putting all this together was just as much fun as the prom itself. The junior class pulled together as a team, and every- one did their share. DANCE, DANCE. DANCE! That’s what was on the minds of senior Kel- ly Vogel with her date Kyle Wagester and junior Missy Muilett with her date C. J. Mosure. Photo by Louise Walker. They started decorating the gym Wednesday night with working on the ceiling and by getting organized. Thursday night the juniors put up the streamers and started decora- tions on the walls. On Friday they had the whole day off from school to work on the prom.

X; What is an ordinary day for $: a junior? Well, for some $: juniors it may be the thought •x of becoming a senior or the :£ anticipation that their years at DHS are quickly coming to an : end. Many juniors are striving for better grades to prepare :•: them for college, which is just around the comer. Much like the seniors, the juniors are preparing for their future, but unlike today’s seniors, they $ have more time to make these decisions and plans. X; What else takes place in an ;jij: ordinary day for a junior? Money is definitely an ordi- nary occurrence. Most of the g: money that today’s juniors §: make goes for after-school ac- tivities and weekends. Tomor- g row’s expenses and the coming year’s debts seem not to both- •i£ er them in the least. A lot of juniors have been known to be somewhat unruly. Maybe, this is because most of the juniors are free spirited and rowdy. They seem to car- ry this out-look on life that says, ”Hi world! I’m going to do just fine.” It’s not uncommon to see many juniors uphold varsity sports. Their participation was deeply appreciated for the win of the North Central Thumb League football title for the third year in a row. They also played a big part in the boys basketball team’s success this year. As the year quickly slips away, enjoyment is what most of the juniors hold in store for the rest of the year. Their sen- ior year is quickly coming-a time of frustration, actuali- zation, and realization. -Shellie McVittie TOGETHER AS USUAL are juniors DIGGING IN are juniors Scott Penny Hammeric and Tim Stolicker.

A great way to relax and for- get about all of your troubles is to escape into the land of music. Whether you prefer watching videos, listening to a new compact disc, or dancing to the tunes of your favorite rock group, you can have a good time. Many students have to take time out from a busy day just to listen to their jam boxes. After getting down and even being yelled at for making too much noise, you feel more relaxed because you have re- leased the day’s pressures with music. No matter what kind of mu- sic you like, it is almost certain that the best way to listen to your favorite band is to jam down at a concert. Ju- nior Rick Davis stated his views of a concert as, ”Fun, but they could be hazardous to your health.” The saying ’’music makes the world go ’round” is the best way to explain why your favorite song brightens up your day! -Kelly Vogel JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Front: Pres.

Sophomores Yvonne White and Kim Bulgricn don’t know, but there’s still work to be done. Photo by Becky McCully. According to RANDOM HOUSE DICTIONARY, the word sophomoric means of or like sophomores and intellec- tually pretentious but immature. WHAT! Immature! Who’s immature? Well, according to the dictionary, it’s you sopho- mores! But is the dictionary, or whoever wrote it, correct? Sophomore Chris Kipp doesn’t think so. He states, ’’Not all sophomores are childish. Some of us act ma- ture. I think sophomores got stuck with a bad name.” But sophomore Gail Roggenbuck thinks a bit dif- ferently. She says, ’’This is more so at the beginning of your sophomore year. Usually, at the end everyone is settled down to work really hard for their junior and senior year to prepare for college or their chosen profession.” Yet, some may think that sophomore Tammy Doerr should rewrite the definition. She states, ’’Most of the girls in the sophomore class are quite mature, but the guys need a little help. The guys have an excuse though, girls mature faster than guys.” But no matter what the definition, sophomores are in- dividuals and each one is dif- ferent. Whatever the case may be, they might as well enjoy their last few years of high school because they go too fast! -Diane Hillaker SOPHOMORIC YOU SAY?

A poll was taken of the sophomore class, and the results were rather shocking. Who would have known the many responsibilities the soph- omores are now facing? The question that was asked to all sophomores was: ’’What are the most pressing prob- lems that are now occurring in your life?” The answers are as follows: The majority were worried about college.

Most of the students at DHS travel to the nearby town of Sandus- ky to watch their favorite movies at the theater or drive- in. Some of the popular mov- ies this year were: TOP GUN, KARATE KID II, CROCO- DILE DUNDEE, and THE COLOR OF MONEY. A lot of kids prefer the drive-in to the theater because they can stay out late, meet new people, and can often get their friends together to party in each other’s car. There is $ also the ever-so-popular trick 8: of seeing how many people you can get in free by hiding them in your car. 8 On the other hand, there Si- are those who prefer going to the theater rather than the 8 drive-in. The theater is a lot warmer and a more comfort- 8 able place to watch a movie, g and you never have to worry about getting attacked by pesty mosquitoes or june bugs. 8 Whichever you prefer, the 8 craze for seeing movies will be :8 around for a long time to come and will always be 8 remembered as a popular 8 pastime on weekends. -Lisa Spaetzel Sophomores - 63 WHETHER OR NOT THEY’RE CALLING HOME or a friend from school, freshmen Tammy Tenbush and Lori Nix arc always on the phone.

If you can’t find the fresh- men in the cafeteria or up- town, you might find them in one of their favorite teacher’s room eating lunch with them. In the warmer weather many of them go out in the courtyard and eat their lunch. Usually after they get done eating, the guys and girls go and play basketball in the gym and let off steam after four hours of classes. Now, all they have to do is get through the remaining three hours! -Victoria Moeller Freshmen - 67 THE CASUAL BUT COMFORT- ABLE LOOK is sweat pants and sweat shirts as freshmen Treasa Dutchcr, Jamie Arnold, and Karen Williamson show.

Among the popular styles this year are: tight or straight STANDING AROUND LOOKING COOL is Freshman Tim Stolicker in his fashionable outfit.

However, there is more to fashion than merely the cloth- ing styles. Many guys are experimenting with shorter hair styles and are daring for the spiked look. The newest look for a girl is to put her hair up in a mane comb. -Kelly Kerbyson i Jamie Patterson Robbie Pattullo Lynn Pelot Linda Pohl Randy Raines Renee Raines Lyn Rosario Amanda Sheldrake Jonathan Simmons Brandon Slater Joe Sousa Tina Srock Timothy Stolicker Paul Stone Ben Willerton Nancy Willerton Valorie Williams Becky Williamson Karen Williamson Missing: Tammy Bauman Michael Kappel Aaron Mitchell Tony Morton Tammy Tenbusch Insr Yillafrafir3 - Coralee Wagester Tammy Warczinski Todd Wedyke Annette Welsh Adam Wendt Freshmen - 69 AS YOU CAN SEE by looking at 8th graders Larry Wolfe and Dave Willing, students sometimes pick the strangest places to take a nap.

According to the seventh graders, they have been or should be yelled at for these bad habits among others. Bad habits, we all have them, and we all wish we could get rid of them. Hard as we may try, it just seems impossible. Oh, but there are those few who are sure they’ve gotten rid of a bad habit. When low and behold, they haven’t gotten rid of the old one; they’ve just replaced it with a new one. A poll taken by the seventh graders showed that what some people think is a bad habit may just turn out to be a plain old habit to someone else. There will always be bad habits; because if there weren’t, what would our parents have to nag at us about. What would we have to do if we didn’t have to keep running in the vicious circle of ’’bad habits.” You don’t have to wait until New Years to decide to break a bad habit.

The Beach Boys, the Out- field, Loverboy, Bon Jovi, and AC DC--where else could you get such a variety of popular music other than at your high school dances? The lights will be low, the music will be loud, and your friends will be wanting to boogie to the beat. Going to the dances is one of the more exciting things about going into Junior High. The dances are where you get your first taste of teenage socializing. The dances are where it all happens; the guy makes his first move to show he likes a girl. He shyly comes over and asks her to dance; while at the same time she is just standing in the comer hoping he’d ask her to dance. Then when he does ask, she is so excited she doesn’t know what to say or do. Although dances are popular throughout the entire school, they seem to be most popular with the junior high. This in- terest may be due to the lack of ’’wheels,” and due to the fact that most parents won’t let their junior high children date. This is their time to get out of the house, to socialize, and to get a taste of the ’’weekend life.” -Margo Fink Jr. High - 73 $ 2; I; I Si a 1 1 RACING TO THEIR LOCKERS is one of the harder trials of these seventh graders.

Kids look down on •iS you, trample you, and literally shove you out of the way. :•:$ The playground was mellow compared to the changing of ■g classes! Back in grade school :$• the teachers always tell the kids what to do; now the stu- l : : dents are more or less their own bosses. There are many changes in- volved for the junior high stu- dents when they move up to the high school. These are some comments of how junior high students feel about this change. It’s awesome. It’s decent. It’s great. I love it.’’-Brent Marquardt. ”It’s pretty cool. I love the freedom. You don’t get treated like a baby anymore. I’m glad we have junior high because I would be lost in 9th grade without it.”—Tricia Hillman. ”It’s okay, but the halls are terrible!”-Samantha Gillyard.

The seventh graders never know any of the cheers; however, the cheerleaders try to help them out. They always get a big laugh from the rest of the student body.

From dressing up during spirit week to participating in the many skits during pep assem- blies, teachers like to have fun, too. This year one daring teacher, Mrs. Karen Travis, dressed up as the character Gizmo from the movie ’’Gremlins.” Another teacher, Mr. John Nezworski, had fun dressing up as if he were back in the fifties again. Even Mr. Alan Broughton, the high school principal, kicks back and takes it easy once in a while! All of the teachers have a lot of fun throughout the year and especially during extra ac- tivities like spirit week and the winter festival, as it gives them the chance to relate more to the students (crazy) and show that teachers are hu- man, too. -Kelly Kerbyson TRYING TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE is 7th grader Michelle Mosure.

Many students at DHS are athletes and their yearly schedule revolves around sports. For some students school gets out at 3:12; but for others when 3:12 comes around, this means another two or three hours of hard work and dedication. This dedication along with teamwork are neces- sary to be able to participate in any sport at DHS. Fitting these extra hours in, as well as other activities such as work, home life, and a normal social life, can cause an athlete to be as quick as lightening in order to fit everything in! As a result of this hard work and total team dedication the athletes at DHS pulled together this year to make this year a success. We started out with the football team winning their third straight league championship and going 9-0. The girls’ basketball team had another winning sea- son with a record of 12-9. Because of their winning spirit and dedi- cation, their success carried on into the winter and spring seasons. Thus making the whole school winners and the commu- nity proud of its fine athletes. -Trevor Wagester GETTING INTO POSITION is sophomore Dale Stolicker as he works for a rebound in a varsity basketball game against Caseviile.

Well, besides having good athletes and dedicated coaches, there’s the excel- lent support of the fans. The fans are really what makes the sports program tick. Many times people just look past the fans and at the teams, but without the fans there would be no team. No- body really appreciates the fans more than the athletes themselves. When you pull on a new uniform or practice with new equipment, you're really glad you have the boosters. The fans at Deckerville sometimes drive an hour and a half to stand in the rain at a football game or travel in a snowstorm to watch a basketball game. This shows a great deal of dedication and support. This kind of support is what keeps the players going and helps lead our teams onto champion- ships! -Trevor Wagester ENERGETIC FANS!

The Varsity Football team did something this year that no other team in the history of the North Central Thumb League has ever accom- plished. The Eagles won three straight championships in a row. The Eagles opened the season with a 22-16 victo- ry over arch-rival Sandus- ky. After that the Eagles were practically unstoppable as they went on to a perfect 9-0 sea- son. Even though the Ea- gles were undefeated they could not make the play- offs because they were considered a class ’C’ team playing mainly class 'D1 schools. Under the direction of Coach Staskiewicz and Coach Jermain the defense accumulated 5 shut-outs and gave up an average of 6 points a game, while the offense averaged 26 points a game. -Trevor Wagester LOOKING FOR THAT FIRST DOWN is senior running back Bill Brown at the Peck game.

The Lady Eagles ac- complished everything they set out to do, even though losing a close 42- 40 decision to Marlette in district play. Coach Schramm commented, ”It was a close game with both teams scoring in streaks. Marlette unfortunately had the last, and it ended up as a two point loss.” Team awards went to Karen Stone with Most Valuable and Best Free Throw Percentage.

From the very first practice they knew it could be done; they knew they had the talent to win the North Central Thumb League championship. Even though there were only three seniors on the team, the varsity basket- ball team had the depth on the bench to make up for the lack of seniors. Captain Darin Fritch was very excited about the start of the season when he was quoted saying, 'There’s not a doubt in my mind that we can win the league if we stick to- gether and play as a team. Well, the team did just that, as they won a share of the title for the first time in 23 years. After losing the first few non-league games, some people started to wonder if the team was really as good as every- body said. But the team never doubted themselves at all, as they came back to win the games they needed to win a share of the NCTL championship and become co-champions with Port Hope. The season was highlighted with junior Tim Stolicker receiving Honorable Mention on the all-state team at the Class-C level. Many other players received awards as well. -Trevor Wagester GOING AIRBORNE is senior Darin Fritch when he is up and against the CPS Tigers. Photo by Sanilac County News.

The varsity volleyball team improved a great deal this year as they ended their season with a record of 24-47, up from- a 2-16 record from the previous year. With a team of all juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, the lady Eagles made fine appearances in all games and tourna- ments they participated in. This year the most valuable player was Missy Mullett. Missy also re- ceived a second team all conference award. Most improved player went to Melissa Cleland, and most enthusiastic went to Traci Pattullo. Most points scored were by Missy Mullett. As it turned out, the team advanced its skills in its young team and is looking forward to anoth- er good season. -Diane Hillaker DOWN AND READY «or the next serve is sophomore Tammy Ken- ny.

Baseball Season is Disappointment Baseball ends season with .500 record. 'J� '' -js The varsity baseball team had a pretty dissappointing season this year as they went 8-8 in the league and ended up in 4th place. The leading hitter was senior Darin Fritch with 28 hits for a .368 average. Darin also lead in stolen bases with 28. Junior Scott Popiiek lead in runs batted in with 24 and also had an average of .343. Other leading hitters were Andrew Sheldrake, .353; Lance Stolicker, .326; Stacey Dutcher, .308; and Alan Hooper, .333. Leading in fielding was senior Joel Bowerman with .973. This year’s team had three senior pitchers. Darin Fritch was the pitcher with the most wins this year with a 5-2 record. The lowest ERA of 1.71 was reached by Barry Brinker, and An- drew Sheldrake led in strikeouts with 50. Although the team did not advance in district play or play in the county tournament, they still did a fair job and ended the season with a 13-15 record overall. One bright point of the season is that this team batted .291 as a team which is the highest in nine years. -Lisa Howard GETTING READY TO HIT is sen- TALKING IT OVER, senior Joel ior Andrew Sheldrake as he Bowerman and junior Tim steps up to the bag.

Under the lea- dership of Richard Bark- er, Bill Graff, David Castillo, and Coach Dan Dean, the team did very well at regionals. Three team members were able to advance to the state meet held at Bangor, Michigan on May 30. Sophomore Richard Barker qualified for state in the 100- and 200-yard dashes and established a new school record of 9.9 in the 100-yard dash. Ju- nior Bill Graff qualified in long jump, and sopho- more Brian Bezemek qualified in the high jump. The girls' team also did a good job. Junior Kris Lizak, who is an out- standing athlete, was a team leader, and she qualified for the state meet in the 440-yard run. Many fine perfor- mances were given by all team members, and with the talented athletes of this year the boys ex- celled by placing first in the league, and the girls placed second in the league. -Lisa Howard HIGH IN THE SKY is jr.

ADS AND COMMUNITY Many people look at the yearbook every year, but they don’t realize how important the ad division is. Without these ads, the life preservers of this book, our yearbook wouldn’t be possible. Not only are the businesses important to the yearbook’s fi- nancial position, but they are a very im- portant part of our school and of our community. The ads are not just limited to the Deckerville area. The communities of Carsonville, Port Sanilac, McGregor, Ruth, Minden City, Brown City, Snover, Bad Axe, and our county seat Sandusky have all helped in supporting our journalistic en- deavors in our 1986-87 yearbook. We thank them and the community of Deckerville for their fine support. These businesses show the true meaning of community spirit! Showing their support of the educational process can be clearly seen in their support of our yearbook. In return we hope that you can help us recip- rocate their support of our yearbook by reading their ads and taking advantage of the goods and services they offer. -Margo Fink LOOK AT ALL THE LITTLE BUILDINGS!

Ads Community Division - 107 for the Memories Believe It or not, there is a lot of history tied up in the small village of Deckerville. This history provides roots for many of us who come from this area. Deckerville first began with a man named Charles Deck- er In 1865. He built a sawmill and a grist-mill, and this helped to draw people Into the area. Then two destruc- tive fires flared through the thumb In 1871 and 1881, but this didn't dampen the spirits of those who saw a town In the making. Deckerville then became a village in 1893. Since then, Deckerville has maintained quite a few Industries Including brick making, fur trading, woolen and flax mills, lumbering, a sauerkraut factory, and also cheese making. As time went on, however, these businesses have disap- peared and others have tak- en their place. Today, there are many factories that deal mainly with the auto Industry. Not only are there fac- tories in our village, but there are also other smaller shops that provide us with everything we need. Because of these businesses and their patronage, this yearbook, our best ever, has been made possible. We would like to take the opportunity to thank these supporters for their help In making our 1986-87 year- book the best ever and for giving us the privilege of cot or pages and other extras that help make our book special. -Diane Hillaker THE SCHOOL AS IT WAS.

Photo By Jody Goller. V Elementary is one of the most important times of a child’s young life. As they grow, they learn much about themselves and oth- ers. As you look through the next several pages, you will see just how the children in elementary learn to get along with others and also how they learn to cope and adjust with the changes in their lives as they grow older. Also, it is hoped that an elementary stu- dent’s day be fun and joyous—just like playing in the rain. Learning, just like playing in the rain as a child, can be and is fun! Several special things happen through the seven years a child spends in elementary, but the events everyone really enjoys and looks forward to are the yearly Halloween and Christmas parties, the many trips and vacations the classes take, and the group fun they have in their classrooms. By looking through the following pages, you will see more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. You will see that a lot of planning goes into putting this to- gether, such as trips, parties, or special activities. A special shoulder to lean on is hard to find, but thanks to the elementary staff which consists of many fine people, they help our young children to grow into their adult life more easily. -Tracey Peruski IT’S THAT TIME! Recess for fifth graders Ron Noble, Mike Lawler, Jeff Klaus, and Brian Kartanys seems to be the best time of the day. Photo by Tracey Peruski.

Ghosts, goblins, witches, and even Rambo were there! It was Friday, the 31st of October. Everyone was in an excited frenzy getting ready for the Halloween Parade. Total chaos was going on in the elementary rooms. Soon it would be time for the kindergarden through third grade to march through the streets in L)eckerville. The community anx- iously gathered along the parade route to see the scary procession. Following the parade, the chil- dren went back to their class- rooms to have goodies of many kinds. Ail of the children were on their best behavior that day, as the day turned out to be a huge success. -Jody Goller OH WHAT A PARTY!! Celebrating is Mr. Warczinsky's 5th grade class.

Girls chasing boys and boys chasing girls...it would seem like an episodefrom ’’Dynasty,” but it’s not, it’s recess! Many chil- dren when asked their favorite classes would say recess, gym, or lunch. Children need to have some outlet of stress. A way they relieve stress is to run around and play. Gym is a time for the class to get rid of energy and also to get to know their classmates bet- ter. Sometimes children need to play with their classmates and to learn how to get along with others. And finally, lunch is a time when friends gather together to sit, talk, and to share their lunches. -Tracey Peruski TIME'S UP. as sixth grader Shelly Barker laughs at classmate Melissa Moeller as she requests the walkman from sixth grader Tina Struck.

During the Christmas holidays this song is frequently heard and sang. A type of excitement begins to rise in peo- ple of all ages when Christmas begins to draw near. The students get together to trade names for presents on the day of their par- ty. The Christmas parties are the most enjoyable parties all year. Unfortunately, the Christmas concert this year was cancelled on account of snow, but the snow didn’t stop Santa Claus from making an early appearance in the elementary classrooms, com- pliments of the Senior National Honor Society. -Jody Goller COLORING PICTURES FOR SANTA are pre-schoolers Michael Lindke and Jason Martinez of Mrs. Cathy Galligan's class.

This age group thinks about their next year and the new situations that might arise. This group starts developing social skills because they know they will be the youngest in high school. They are often afraid be- cause they don’t know what to expect. Their social status changes. Instead of being the oldest, they will now become the youngest. Moving up isn’t as terrible as many may think. Just think of it as accomplishing another step in life!

Children playing tag, dodge ball, and taking field trips...with all of this going on learning is still happening. In the fifth grade this year Mr. Warren Warczinsky’s class painted topography maps. Mean- while, in Mrs. Joann Buhl's class the students were busy learning how to tell the different clouds apart. They also studied different types of animals and practiced weaving like the Indians do. Speaking of Indians, Mr. Michael William’s class held a Thanksgiving dinner. All together the fifth grade learned a lot from doing many fun and interesting things. -Nowell Lindke Christoph Lapeer Michael Lawler Angela Lindley Fritz Matthews Aaron McCully Tar ah Meddaugh Alicia Meissner Jennifer Reinelt Angie Ridtey Brian Sa4ow.tr Rosemary Shanks KeNy Wallmg Dann Weeks MR MICHAEL WILIAMS Craig Cowper Angetita DeLeon Amanda Fagan Jeromie Foote Randy Franzel Sarah Fritz Rohm Herrick Bonrwe Howard Pnsc a Jasso Gary Kenny Mmdy Meddaugh Russell Mosure Ronald Noble Jessica Nugent Chris Orton Jessica Peruski Wesley Smith Steven Srdvagv’ Patrick Vmokurow Christopher Warczmsky 5th Grade - 147 IS THIS WEIRD SCIENCE?

In the mid- dle of ’’what” you say? In the middle of being too old to play all of the time and of being too young to have the respect of older students. Nobody really understands a fourth grader. But there is still a brighter side to being a fourth grader, that is, in two short years this fourth grader will be the king of the elementary', and then they won’t have to be caught in the middle anymore! -Jody Goller MRS.

It’s indoor recess!” I’ll bet you’ve heard this before in the elementary but never from the third graders. Wrong! It seems impossible that this jumpy, ram- bunctious group of third graders could handle staying inside for indoor recess, but it’s true! This is the only time when these children get to bring in their new and old toys to school Inside Recess 3rd to share with their friends. But the question still remains: ”Can these jumping beans sit and be- have inside for that long?” They sure can, and they do a good job at it too. In fact, the third grade is about the best classroom of children when it comes to indoor recess: -Jody Goller Melissa McGregor Jaime Meddaugh Jarred Melcher Eric Memman Kevin Ne worski Chris Peresta JtHaine Pr Catherine Reuter Misty Samueison Holly Schroeder James Schmidt Tracy Sears MR GENE MCCUMONR Renae Abend Michael Benjey Melissa Bezemek Melinda Bowling Holly Bunyan Charity Caswell Sara Cleland Nathan Davis Jeffery Dreher Angela Dumaw Jessica Fagan Raymond GadomsJu Sharon Geiger Anane Gough Timothy Henry Cathy Jensen Jason Kenny Matthew lindtoy Michelle Lope Lisa Med da ugh C rise Ida Reyna K ns ten Robson Alan son Schryer Tanya Schultz Kevin Shanks Tncia Smith Ryan Taylor Jennifer Williams 3rd Grade - 151 READING UP ON SCIENCE is Mrs. Marga ret Russell's second grade class.

Bucket Brigade Helps In the elementary there are a lot of special programs to help kids learn easier and faster. One of these programs is the Bucket Brigade which is headed by Mrs. Marlene Sheldrake. This program gives children a chance to get one-on-one attention in the area of reading. Mrs. Sheldrake enjoys her work, and she does it well. Without her and the volunteers of the community, there would be no programs such as the Bucket Brigade. The elementary is a very im- portant part of a child's life. It gives the kids a chance to learn and have fun at the same time. In closing the elementary section we have chose to display some miscellaneous elementary candids. -Margo Fink Elementary - 159 MAKING USA MAPS is fifth grader Mindy Meddaugh of Mr. Mike Williams class.

Just like a bridge out. these are similiar because they stop the creative flow. Also, bridge out means it is the end of the road or in our case the end of the work for this yearbook. Another school year has come to an end. Again, the yearbook class has tried to capture many memories in the 168 pages of this book. This year was one that proved to have many challenges in it, which brought headaches and excitement to the whole staff. Within one year’s time you would be surprised at how many changes can take place. We went from typing everything out on copy sheets to typing captions and body copy on the computer. At first it seemed confusing and hard to understand, but by midyear everyone had caught on to some extent. Another big change was the process of pasting down all copy, captions, and titles on the final mats that would be sent to the company for print- ing of the book. This was commonly know as paste-up to all on the staff. We could see what the pages looked like before they were sent to the company. It also helped us to know if we had enough or too much copy. The biggest change of all was having our own photolab. Only a selected few were allowed to work in the photolab. In the photolab all pictures were developed and printed. This was a process that seemed to take much more time than anticipated. Overall, though, this year’s yearbook came together with great style, and it is sure to have attracted many curious eyes with its new look. -Teresa Mosher MASTER CONTROL!

Also, at this time, the staff wish- es to thank all those people that go unnoticed throughout the year; they are always giving more than their share of help. A special thanks go to the high school secretary, Judy Bowerman, and the elementary school secretary, Ila Salowitz, for their help in selling books and organizing pictures of the students. We would also like to thank Marion’s Photographic Studio for taking pictures of our individual students, sports teams, group shots, and the prom. Also, the Sanilac County News has helped in our coverage of sports. The Deckerville Yearbook is a member of the Great Lakes Inter- scholastic Press Association (GLIPA).
