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!!
