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.

When It Rains, It Pours! 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!!
