Soever Settle ofor ehh Imagine yourself sitting in trigonometry with a problem that seems a mile long in front of you. What do you do? Most people would probably give up right about now. But there are a few select people who would hang in there and give the problem a shot, even though it looks impossible. Are you one of those people that keep on going and never settle for less? What is exactly meant by ’’Never Settle for Less?” Does it mean getting good grades? Making the basketball team? Being persistent in getting some- thing you want? Yes, it does mean all of those things, but it’s not limited to just doing good in everything you try. Half the battle is trying. This year’s theme was picked because of its relevancy to this school. Academically, the MEAP scores from last year showed an overall improve- ment in math, reading, and science; and that’s something to be proud of! In the sports department, the football team had yet another successful year with a final standing of 8-1, and the golf team did an outstanding job and went undefeated. There are also other aspects of school life that have been dramatically improved since last year. They include an increase in student particiption in clubs, a second guidance counselor, and a closer relationship between the school board, teachers, and parents due to the teachers’ strike at the begin- ning of the year. Almost every person in the world is faced with a challenge every day. Whether it be taking a biology test or just keeping a promise you made to your parents, these tasks can sometimes seem impossible. For the people who never settle for less, these challenges are simply a pebble in the road that must be tossed aside in order to continue. How can you develop an attitude like this? The answer is simple. The next time you’re faced with a problem that seems impossible, just do your best and never, ever, settle for less!

Theme - 3 Sff igft Expectations School life--it is made up of all the people we have met and the events that have taken place during our years here at DHS. But it is not just the events and people within this school’s walls that make up our school lives. Everything that we have seen and heard that has changed our perspective in some way has become a part of our school lives. Last summer, Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North went before a joint session of Congress to testify that he had done nothing involving the Iran-Contra scandal that he had not been ordered to do by his superiors. Whether he was telling the truth or not became a matter of great public debate. T-shirts with the logo ”011ie for President” became very popular during this time. Later in the fall, the Detroit Tigers won the American League East Division Title, proving to fans and opponents alike that they were not willing to settle for second best. During the winter, President Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail Gorba- chev of the Soviet Union signed a treaty banning long-range missiles. Although long-range missiles are only four percent of the world’s total store, the public and the leaders both felt that it was an important step towards peace. On New Year’s Day, the Michigan State Spartans won the Rose Bowl at Pasadena for the first time in 32 years to the delight of Spartans fans and to the chagrin of supporters of the Michigan Wolverines. On the lighter side, Dana Carvey, otherwise known as the Church Lady from Saturday Night Live, made a big impression on teenagers and adults across the country with this line, ’’Could it be...SATAN?” Each of these events has had a great impact on our lives and the way that we as both Americans and teenagers live our lives. When people get into the newspapers and onto the six o’clock news, it is bound to have an effect on us. Anything that changes the world in some way is going to change us as well.

Well, that’s not usually the case for Deckerville people. Even for being in a small town, the students always find some way to keep occupied and busy. Whether it’s bugging the teachers to their wits end or just having fun, students seem to keep busy. It’s not always fun and games though. Students have their futures to think about, especially the juniors and seniors who will quite soon be graduated. The progress in our lives begins by setting in motion values, ideas, and goals. The only way to accomplish this is to use the knowledge and facts provided by our instructors and peers. Not only do our teachers influence us, but also our parents, who have laid the groundwork for our futures. Often we don’t realize how much our parents influence us until we get out from ’’under our parents’ wings,” and start living on our own. Students strive to accomplish their goals and to do the very best they can. So teachers, even though at times you feel like you could pull your hair out, have patience. We really do try our best. The next few pages show a little bit about the people at our school and their habits, views, and ideas. Leah Brinker ’’ALL WORK AND NO PLAY makes a dull man” is certainly a philosophy of sr. Doug Rich. While using crayons to draw a picture in his Art Design class. Doug shows that seniors have a fun side to them even during work time. Photo by Tom Thor- old.

People Division - 7 Awaiting the big moment Sr. Missy Mullett Is Crowned Queen! ’’And the 1987 homecoming queen is”...this voice was go- ing through the candidates’ minds as the queen was being announced. The three seniors that shared this great moment were Julie Rumble. Pam Pelot, and Missy Mullett. At halftime of the 46-0 win over the Bronson Vikings. Missy Mullett was crowned queen. In describing how she felt at that moment Missy said, ”1 was stunned but excited by winning the crown.” At the pep assembly earlier in the day. senior Kyle Stouten- burg was named king. The oth- er two king candidates were seniors Tim Stolicker and Ke- vin Pozsgay. The underclassmen on the homecoming court were also excited and in awe of this spe- cial event. Junior Susan Varosi described it by saying, ”lt seemed weird because I was never on the court before.” It was a clear but cold night for the judging of floats. They were all finished with very hard work from every class. The winning float was from the sophomore class entitled ’’Into the Fire.” In preparation for the battle FIXING HER DAD’S TIE is senior repre- sentative Pam Pelot.

But that anticipation was halted by the death of senior and fellow classmate Dave Doerr. Dave will be sincerely missed by all his friends and family, and especially by those members of the graduating class. We are certain that the whole school and com- munity share in our sorrow.

There’s Never Enough Money! Seniors experience that... What’s here today and gone tomorrow? MONEY! That’s how fast money comes and goes for the seniors. For the seniors it seems like the more money they make, the less they see of it. Along with having to buy senior announcements and paying for the senior trip, the seniors’ top priority for which to spend money is on their KEEPING YOUR CAR RUNNING IS A PRIORITY for senior Ed Schmidt.

They like to go out with their friends, go out to parties, and go to the movies. They even enjoy just riding around or shopping. Senior Kyle Stouten- burg says he spends most of his money on ”my car, women, stereo, and weekend plea- sure.’ The seniors not only spend their money on all these things, but a lot of them also set some of it aside to save for various things, such as their senior trip and college. Senior Cindy Raines says, Tm saving my money for college and all the other expenses related to it.” Where do the seniors get all the money for these things? Their main sources of money are jobs like working at places such as McDonalds and the IGA. Senior Edna Willerton de- scribes how she gets her spending money: ”1 get my money from my parents and by taking care of a 97 year old lady.” Others get their money from their parents and a few senior girls admit that they get most of their money from their boy friends. Irene Falcon Seniors - 17 Finishing out the year In Grand Style This year’s seniors were true beach bumsl The class of '88 spent five days together in Florida, and they loved every minute of it. They left on March 26 dur- ing spring break. Their first day consisted of the water slides at Wet-N-Wild. Disney- land was the special event for day two. Day three was spent at Epcot Center. The day that everyone looked forward to was day four at Daytona Beach. Everyone soaked up those Florida rays for that spe- cial tan that they could sport back to old DHS. The last day was left for the seniors to choose as they wished. This event certainly made memories that the seniors will treasure forever. Senior Den- ise Peruski said that the best thing that she liked about the senior trip was: Being togeth- er with all my friends because it was our last time together. But the senior trip lead to another special event for the senior class. That event was the junior-senior prom, which was held on April 16 in the high school gym. The prom’s theme was In My Dreams.” The juniors went all out to create a special set- ting for one of the senior’s last events together as a class. Ju- nior Gail Roggenbuck said this about her class’s work on the prom: Working on the prom was a lot of hard work, but fun work. When I walked in the gym on Saturday night. I knew it was worth it.

Seniors are ready to graduate and to get On With Their Lives Graduation is something that is awaited for by all sen- iors. Seniors just can't seem to wait until graduation day so that they can be out of high school for goodl Although the seniors will be glad to be out of high school, there will be things that will be missed by them. By far, friends are what the seniors will miss the most. This is what senior Michele Slater has to say about leaving DHS: ’Til miss all my friends in younger classes, all those crazy lunch hours, sports, cer- tain teachers, and all those crowded halls.” Along with missing their friends, seniors said they would also miss skip days and, of course, high school secre- tary Judy Bowerman. Senior Cindy Raines had this to say: I will miss the talks with Judy, but the things I'll miss most are the kids I've gone through school with for thirteen years.” Graduation is a time for ev- eryone to say good-bye to the seniors as a group and is a last lime the senior class is togeth- er. Although there will be some things that will be missed, the seniors of 1988 are glad that they are finally graduating and getting on with their lives.

Graduation - 21 West German student visits DHS From Across The Seas Who's the new student? Well, this year Deckerville was able to have a visitor from an- other country. Senior Alex Sott, an exchange student from West Germany, came to live and experience United States right here in Decker- ville! Alex adapted very quickly to the American style of living and learning. Sophomore Adam Wendt confirms this by saying, Alex really blends in well. He is a very nice ex- change student, and I'm glad he came to Deckerville. Alex enjoys tennis as a hob- by. In the area of school activ- ities Alex was a member of the J.V. basketball team and a member of the varsity boys track team. Regarding his stay in Deck- erville Alex said. I really like the people, and I've had plenty of things to do. I’m enjoying my stay in the U.S.” Alex is staying with Dr. Ron Miller’s family here at Decker- ville.

The electricity is out. and you sit shivering in the dark. A clap of thunder shakes the house; and just when you think you’re going to lose it, your pet comes to the rescue to keep you company. Aren’t pets great? By far, the most popular pet at DHS is man’s best friend, the dog. When asked ’’Why do you like dogs? , sophomore Aaron Mitchell said, ’’Dogs are more interesting than cats. The cats came in second as the most popular pet. Eighth grader Chris Welsh was asked ’’Why do you have a cat? , and she replied, ’’Because it’s big and fat and pretty! Horses, rabbits, turtles, pigs, fish, hamsters, and birds also found happy homes with our students. But what about the people who don't want the responsi- bility of owning a pet? When asked If you could have any kind of pet you wanted, what would it be? , sr. Kelly Geek said, One that’s quiet, doesn’t move, and needs no care. Well, while pets may not be right for everyone, those of us who are pet owners really love our pets and wouldn't trade them for the worldl Lisa Howard SHOWING OFF HER PRIDE AND JOY is sophomore Tonya Kamen.

People that you can always couqt on are Best Friends ”Do you know what?” Best friends ask each other this question quite often. Everyone has had a best friend at some time or another in their life. Most people have had the same best friend for many years. Best friends share things from each other's clothes to secrets about each other and about other people. They make being in school more bearable. When you're feeling sad, they're always there to cheer you up or comfort you. When you're mad, they're there to try to calm you down. They are like family. Senior Heidi Roe agrees as she makes this com- ment, I've known my best friend for a long time, and she’s always been like a sister to me.” Best friends are always get- ting into trouble together, causing trouble together, and trying to keep each other out of trouble. That best pal is there for you when you need someone to talk to and to help you through the rough times in life. Life would probably be pret- ty dull without a best friend. Senior Cindy Raines makes this point about her best friend, Whenever we go out, we make sure that we do something that we talk about or remember for a long time.” A best friend can even make the most unexciting event, a special memory. All and all, best friends make life a little better and a little happier. Irene Falcon CHEERING FANS AND FRIENDS are these students.

The Young Speak Out! You're how old?l?” That is a question that people who are the youngest in their class of- ten hear. These special indi- viduals all started school when they were only four years old. So. they are commonly re- ferred to as the babies of their class. Being a baby is not easy. There is constant teasing. The babies can't date when the rest of their class are 16 years or older because they are only 15. So. they are the last to date. Babies are also the last to drive. They usually have to take drivers’ education with the class below them. Joking about being the youngest in her class, jr. Colette Osborne stated, ’’Being young means I can't drive or go out as often as I like, but it certainly doesn’t mean I’m the shortest.” Being a baby has helped some people meet others. For instance, you can start a con- versation by saying how old you are and what grade you are in. When they realize that you’re young for your grade, they usually become interest- ed in you. Some babies do feel smaller in size in comparison to their class peers. Sr. Edna Willerton states, ”1 feel really small com- pared to others in my class” Junior Ed Fortushniak sums it up about being the youngest in his class.

Something you wouldn't normally do? Of course, you dol Everybody doesl When this happens, you can't control yourself. Everybody has a dif- ferent limit as to how much pressure they can take before they go crazy, and everybody has their own way of going crazy. When people pass over to the crazy side, anything can happen. They might dress fun- ny, scream a lot, just act down right weird, or all three. Every- body does it at some time or another. One of the greatest displays of craziness has to be spirit week. At this time of the year, everybody goes crazy and shows their spirit. You see more weirdos in the halls of DHS during spirit week than people in Deckerville on a busy day. It is a lot of fun, and nearly everyone participates. When asked Why do you like spirit week? , jr. Stephen Kelke said. Everyday pres- sures are too much to handle, and I can't take it anymore. Sr. Julie Rumble simply said, It’s nice to have a change. So whether you go crazy be- cause you’re fed up with the system, or you just want a change of pace, going crazy can be a lot of fun if you use good sense and good taste.

What does this same stu- dent do before they go to bed? Also, what does this student do a lot of in between? The an- swer to all of these questions could be that they rock-n-roll. There are many ways to de- scribe rock-n-roll in a person’s life-style. In discussing rock-n- roll, let’s break down the word rock to describe a vital aspect of a student's life. First we have the ”R.” This could stand for the radio. It is the source of much informa- tion and much entertainment. As students we use the radio to help us with our homework. Here is what 8th grader Tricia Hillman had to say on why she listens to the radio while she does her homework, ”lt helps to keep me calm, and I can con- centrate better.” Senior Rod Tenbusch de- scribes the letter ”0” as fol- lows: ”ln my opinion the letter 'O’ could stand for outragious. With all of the outragious rock bands, hairdo’s, and personali- ties, what else could the letter ’O’ stand for?” When you think of rock-n- roll and a word to describe it that starts with ”C,” what bet- ter word than the word con- cert? For many students con- certs are an unforgettable event in their life. After every concert you are sure to be ex- hausted, but fulfilled. Juniors Tammy Reinelt and Tonya Klaus had this to say about the Motley Crue concert: ”lt was loud, great, and an all-around excellent concert.” Keen is described in the di tionary as meaning somethii intense or enthusiastic. Wi that in mind, the final wo- that will complete the word O-C-K is keen for the lett ”K.” All of the people in rock- roll have to be keen, or intens to be successful. So the next time you think rock-n-roll, remember the: four words: radio, outragiou concerts, and keen. Kevin Pozsgi POSING LIKE A ROCK STAR is senior Lonnie Nye.

What is your favorite class?” When asked this, the majority of the students had their own opinions of their fa- vorite class. Senior Dawn Be- zemek answered this question by saying, ”1 like Analytic Ge- ometry because it's a chal- lenge.” The result of varied anwsers to the above question proves that there are a variety of classes available at DHS to fit a student's interest and need for a valued education. Physical education, business, science, and career center were the top four choices among students. P.E. was the top choice. Peo- ple like to play sports, have fun. and enjoy being away from the regular classroom. Business classes were the next favored choice. Typing, accounting, business commu- nications, etc. were favored by people due to the fact that they are elective classes. Stu- dents want to be there. Fresh- man Ryan Seiler adds, ”1 like General Business because it’s easy.” Science classes and career center were equally support- ed. Students like science be- cause of interest and fascina- tion of the natures and the laws of science. Career center is ideal for those who know what career they want to pur- sue in the future.

Green White Or Maize Blue? Which is it? Green white or blue gold? Yes, are you for the Michigan State Spartans or the University of Michigan Wol- verines? In DHS, there is a big controversy over which insti- tution is better between teach- ers and students alike. Some teachers (like Mr. Dick Walk- er) are faithful Spartans, while other teachers (like Mr. Dan Dean) worship the Wolverines. DOUBLE VANDALISM was the case in Mr. Dean's room as the bulletin board war continued between seniors Jer- emy Van Norman and Ed Schmidt against Mr. Dean. Photo by Tina Rud- duck. Also, there are other fa- vored universities, such as Central Michigan, Oklahoma, and Ohio State, that some of our students picked as their favorite. A few smaller univer- sities, like Ferris State, Hope, and Saginaw Valley State, have faithful fans within the halls of DHS too. Along with the likes and dis- likes come the pranks. There are many pranks pulled be- tween U of M and State fans, but each side always seems to get back at the other in the end. There are very faithful fans. like senior Jeremy Van Nor- man. He sported green hair and was nicknamed the '’Spar- tan Phantom” during home- coming week. This phantom went to great lengths to show his spirit for his favorite uni- versity! Jeremy claims that, State is the greatest place on Earth.” There is also the opinion of the other side teacher Dan Dean comments about U of M, It’s the greatest... what else can I say.” Can you show this same dedication about your favorite university?

Everyone Wants Out! What are some of your ex- cuses that you use to get out of school? You get up in the morning, and you just don’t feel like going to school. So, what do you do? Do you pre- tend that you’re sick? That al- ways seems to work. Then, when your parents leave for work, do you get out of bed as if nothing is wrong and get out your jam box or watch your fa- vorite TV shows that you nev- er get to watch? What do you do if you’re al- ready at school? Nothing is go- ing the way you want it to, and you can’t stand another sec- ond of it. What can you do? You’re already there. How do you get out? Maybe you say that you’re deathly ill, or you have some kind of appointment (even though you don’t), or you try to convince Judy, the high school secretary, to let you leave? The excuse that junior Brian Bezemek gives is, ”1 tell Judy that I have an orthodonist appointment. That always seems to work. If that doesn’t work, per- haps you call your parents and beg them to let you skip. Soph- omore Tammy Tenbusch has given her mother this excuse, Tm too tired to stay at school after I went to the concert last night.” If it comes down to the worst, some students just plain skip out. Maybe if they get really desperate, they try to forge a pass and hope they don’t get caught by Mr. Broughton, the high school principal, or Mr. Walker, the assistant principal.

If you think that the only time you see teachers is either behind the desk or speaking in front of the class, then you haven't been to very many school activities. Whether they are a coach of a team sport, director of a cer- tain club, or the sponsor of a class, our teachers are in- volved. The majority of our staff is involved with coach- ing. Mr. Warren Warczinsky, fifth grade elementary teach- er, says, When school is over, I change my clothes and head straight for the gym.” He coaches varsity boys basket- ball from November through March. Other teachers who are not coaching are busy doing other things. A good example of this would be Miss Sandra Little, high school math and English teacher, who took night class- es while teaching during the day. Every Tuesday evening from five to ten last fall she attended basic programming and computer classes at Sa- ginaw Valley State University. She attended these classes un- til December; and she became certified for teaching comput- ers. Miss Little is only one ex- ample of several teachers who attend graduate classes at night or on the weekend while teaching full time. So what more could teach- ers get into? Some teachers have other jobs and busin- esses. Mr. Dale Ladd, high school science teacher, oper- ates a pig farm. Not only does he do this after hours, but h coaches both junior varsit football and varsity girls trad Regarding extra jobs ou side of teaching. Mrs. Kare Travis, high school mat teacher, said this. I’m a cool maid, seamstress, gardene counselor...sometimes this called a wife and a mother.’ So as you can see. the DH teaching staff does get ir volved. Somehow, they seei to manage it all!

A student with a bleeding cut comes in and asks for a band-aid. Anoth- er student comes in asking to call his mom. Two more come in needing passes so they won’t be late for their next class. It's been a rough day, even before half the morning is over. Being a high school office secretary is not just answering the phone and typing in an air- conditioned office all day, as Judy Bowerman knows from experience. You become in- volved with the students' problems as you get to know and work with them. As stu- dent and office aide Yvonne White says, ”1 think Judy’s a great person, and the school wouldn't work without her.” Not only does the high school office secretary contri- bute a lot to the school, but also the guidance and superinten- dent office secretaries as well. Mrs. Mona Tobi makes the load of work much easier for the HELPI No day is ever the same for high school secretary Judy Bowerman.

These secretaries don’t just type either. For example, Elisabeth Hooper takes lunch tickets and money. The rush at lunch hour is quite hectic and can be quite trying on a per- son's patience. The two key people who keep the overall school running are Principal Alan Broughton and Superintendent Ozzie Parks. They are behind the scenes in making our school run smoothly despite the var- iety of tasks they must do. Re- garding his job. Principal Alan Broughton said. No day is ever the same.

Chances are that our elementary has changed a great deal since most of the elementary students’ parents have been out of school. The elementary is preparing children more and more each year for their up- and-coming high school years. The children are working with computers more than ever before and gaining more knowledge to prepare them for the road ahead of them. Elementary students are persuaded to think a lot more about their futures than they used to. The students can have their times of relaxation and enjoyment too, though. Most of the classes take part in parties for the different holidays of the year. It is certain that elementary life has changed a lot in the past years and more so every year. It is a place where children can grow bigger for better things! Melissa Koehn WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN'AT? This is the expression WHAT? ALE IN DECKERVILLE?

Christmas Spirit Is Alive! Have you ever asked a child what their favorite holiday is? Well, if you did, most of their answers would be Christmas. Getting presents and giving them away is always great, but there is something else that the fifth graders like to do during the season, and that’s participate in the annual Christmas Choral Concert. Also, to prepare for the ho- liday season Mrs. Joann Buhl’s fifth grade class makes a Christmas wreath. Each stu- dent collects their own pine cones and nuts to make their own wreaths exactly the way they want them. After a week of hard work, each student takes their wreath home to put them under the tree. They are to be given to their par- ents as a gift on Christmas morning.

A Trip to the Courthouse Was it a felony when the fifth grade class visited the Sanilac County Courthouse and Jail? Of course, it wasn’t! They made a special visit to see these facilities and to learn what happens there. The class was shown equip- ment used by the state troop- ers at the State Police Post. They heard a speaker talk about drugs and small crimes and the consequences of both. In viewing the courthouse the students actually set up a mock trial in an actual court- room.

But we’re not talking about the presi- dential election. We’re talk- ing about electing the presi- dent of Ms. Joanne Lubnau’s 4th grade class. Every year to coincide with either national or state elec- tions, Ms. Lubnau’s class elects a president for their class. This gives the students the opportunity to learn what takes place in an actual elec- tion. The students have to do a number things when they en- ter the race for president. They register to vote, get their names on nominating peti- tions, choose a vice-president and a campaign manager. choose a name and a symbol for their political party, and give a campaign speech. They go through the same process as it is done in the real world. When asked how she felt about how the students would benefit from such an activity, Ms. Lubnau replied, ”1 hope that it will spark an interest in our country’s elections, and they will vote when they are old enough.” Melissa Koehn RUNNING NECK AND NECK for the candidacy of president of the fourth grade class are these students.

It’s the making of projects! During this year's Christmas season Mrs. Kathy Sweet’s fourth grade class made Christmas ornaments using needlework designs. These ornaments were used to decorate the Christmas tree in their classroom. Every year Mrs. Sweet’s Chad Schumacher Danny Sousa Robert Villafranca Trisha Vogel Trade Zdrojewski class does some kind of Christmas project. Everyone enjoys doing them, and it gives the class a break from the routine school work. In doing projects like this students learn new skills that they can enjoy as a leisure ac- tivity or hobby. They get to use their artistic talents too.

This really builds interest in reading! Two of the plays that they performed were called ’’The Traveling Musicians” and the ’’The Shoemakers.” How can you get these sec- ond graders to be patient enough to do this? Well, it helped by Mrs. Pearson let- ting the students pick the characters of their choice. ’’The Traveling Musicians” consisted of mostly animals and three robbers. The chil- dren also picked whatever kind of noises they wanted to make for each character. ’’The Shoemakers” consisted of elves and Mr. and Mrs. Shoemaker. Mrs. Pearson’s second grade class did a good job and had a great time doing these plays.

Elementary - 69 � 4� ♦� ♦� ♦ You Seek What does a student do besides study and go to school? There are lots of things in a student’s life besides school. Many students have jobs after school and on weekends so that they can afford to go out on the weekends, buy tapes, clothes, and other accessories. Students also spend their spare time with their boyfriends or girlfriends. Going out with the gang is also a way to socialize and meet new friends. What students do with their spare time in high school can greatly affect their future. Students need to be social and be able to deal with different people in preparing for life after DHS. Now is the best time to learn this, and it’s the experience you, as a student, should seek! Rick Davis WORKING DURING HER SENIOR YEAR is Kari Spark- man.

Student Life Division - 71 Acid-washed denim, sweats, mini- skirts, and comfortable tennis shoes—all of these things are popular among high school students. Some are new this year, and some have been worn faithfully for many years. Even though the styles often change dramatically from year to year, some things stay the same. For instance, jeans- -even though the look of them may change—are still as comfortable and wearable as they always have been. From kindergarten to the senior class, EVERYBODY (or at least, almost every- body) owns and frequently wears a pair of denim blue jeans. The look, though, has changed some- what. The most popular new style of clothing to invade DHS is acid-washed denim. Over 200 students said that their favorite new style was acid-washed den- im. Hairstyles have gotten spikier here at DHS.

The hairstyles of young men have got- ten spikier, and their clothes are becom- ing brighter. Of the new fashions this year, acid-washed jeans and jackets, colorful suspenders, and shirts with funky designs are the most popular choices. The young men in high school are stepping away from wardrobes that consisted of dark blue jeans and plaid flannel shirts. Instead, they have al- lowed us to see their true colors. Whether you are following the crowd or marching to the beat of a drum only you can hear, everyone is in style, be- cause everyone has a style of their own. Christina Merriman Different styles are throughout our school like many others. Your style usually brings out your personality. Many people create their own style to show who they are.

Jun that mahzi csnti Shopping can be necessary, but it is almost always fun! Mom, do you have some money? I want to go shopping.” How many times have you said these words? No one just shops for school clothes or for Christmas. In our country it seems to be a national pastime. Students go shopping for many rea- sons. Grandma just gave you money for your birthday, and you feel the urge to spend it. Or, you want to check out the styles or perhaps the most popular rea- son--you want to check out the opposite sex!! A lot of students worked long and hard last summer to earn money for the annu- al pre-school shopping spree. When you walked into school for the first time last fall, the new styles of clothing were very evident! How many times have you been to the mall in the last year? 10 or more times 10% 7-9 times 4% 4-6 times 20% 1-3 times 52% 0 times 14% 'Taken from 1987 Fall Student Poll. Some students had some really unu- sual times shopping. Sr. Suzy Watta said, My most unusual time was when I fell into the fountain at the mall.” Sophomore Rob Laba also had an ex- perience shopping. He said, ’’Once when I was shopping at Lakeside Mall, I went into a co-ed dressing room to try on a pair of jeans. I happened to open the door on a woman changing. By the time I got out of there, she was already screaming.” Seniors Julie Rumble and Rick Davis made the most out of one of their shop- ping trips.

For example, when you’re look- ing through your purse, you may find a petrified package of mustard, a fake fin- gernail, and an earring that you broke two weeks ago. Or, you’re looking through your wallet, and you find a six-month-old concert ticket, a button that fell off your shirt a month ago, and a used band-aid. Do either of these sound familiar?

What do you carry in them? we sometimes use our purse or wallet as a trash container. Of about 500 students in the high school, the majority said that money is what they normally carry. An- other popular item that students seem to be carrying around are pictures of their family or friends. Most people don’t realize how valu- able their purse or wallet is until it’s lost. We don’t normally know how much junk we are carrying around until we spill our purse or wallet. Though what some peo- ple carry in their purses and wallets might seem stranger than others, few people frequently show off the contents of them.

What a messl Freshmen and 8th graders are Lockers contain more than just books. Opening your locker door, you can hardly believe the horror before your eyes. The lunch that has been sitting in the bottom of your locker since the be- ginning of the year has come to life. The odor is so bad that you have trouble breathing. But eventually, after you get the lunch out and let the locker air out, it gets back to normal again! At the beginning of the year, every- body competes in trying to see who can decorate their locker the best. They decorate them with mirrors, stickers, memos, posters, and lots more. However, pop cans, paper, and just plain junk are thrown into the bottom of the locker ev- What do you keep in your lock- er other than books and your coat?

This junk piles up through the year until locker clean out, but then it just starts piling back up all over again. It's a never-ending cycle, and almost no one escapes its grasp. Nobody can truly say that they enjoy cleaning out their locker, unless they're the type of person who hates messes. The worst part about having a messy locker is not being able to find anything, especial- ly when you really need it. If it weren’t for lockers, however, we would be carrying everything around with us all day long, so we really shouldn’t complain about them! Lisa Bowerman Lockers - 79 Eat ox not to Eat That is the question at breakfast. The mad rush before school is usually a hectic experience for all students, and many don't have time for breakfast. The girls are concerned about looking their best. The guys just don't feel the need to eat. Either way, many young adults go without breakfast! Sometimes, when the students do find some extra time in the morning, they grab a quick breakfast. Something fast, quick, and easy to eat—something their parents would be horrified to know their children actually ate for breakfast. What do you normally have for breakfast? Nothing 37% Cereal 34% Toast 15% Eggs 9% Orange juice 5% 'Taken from 1987 Fall Student Poll. Whether it's cookies, a candy bar, or a diet Coke, most people have been guilty of eating junk food in the morning. Some students just skip breakfast, which explains why the first hour of the day is such a drag. They don’t have any energy to think! Sometimes, students do eat a short breakfast. Then, they usually eat con- venient breakfast foods such as instant cereal or dry cereal from the box. Leah Brinker Not having enough time to finish her break- fast Is senior Penny Hammerle.

This is how much time students have between classes. The majority of people are rushing around and pushing to get to their lock- ers so they aren’t late for their next class. That’s why the halls are so congested be- tween classes. The second most popular thing to do between classes is meet with friends to talk. People also meet with that special girlfriend or boyfriend.

It's a race because people stand around and talk too long. Before they know it, the bell rings. Then people go running down the hall.

Students are sick of the teach- ers for that day! Some have plans for that night. They’re hungry. According to a majority of our stu- dents, the biggest reason for the hurry is just to leave this building!

Hey, have you heard about the test first hour? What’s on it? Many students have the idea of getting all the information that they can right before the test. They usually ask so- meone that has already taken the test if the test was hard or easy. If they say that it was a difficult test, they then try to get them to tell them some of what was on the test, instead of just studying for the test beforehand. On days when a teacher gives an as- signment, you can just hear all of the stu- dents moaning and groaning and saying things like, Well, I’ll do this later.” Then the next day comes along so fast, and they don't have their homework done! Where do you usually do your homework? At home 36% In study hall 26% In class 26% Don’t do It 11% Other 1% 'Taken from 1987 Fall Student Poll. Students usually do their homework when it is convenient. Some only hope to pass or just get by. The students that do study usually do it either at home, in study hall, or in class. Some claim they only study for 15 to 30 minutes on their homework. Unfortunately, students usually try to find different ways to pass a test either by cheating or copying off another stu- dent. Unfortunately, they only want to get by in the class with a passing grade. Is this what learning is about? Let’s hope not! Give studying a chance and see the rewards that you gain from it!

Homework - 87 daxzfxzz days, of iurnmzz Look back to those sunny days. Picture this. It's a hot summer day, and you’re lying on the beach listening to the waves roll in. Suddenly, as the waves crash to the shore, you wake up and rea- lize that it’s winter and 20 degrees out- doors. However, your mind searches for the memories of last summer’s events. Well, here are some of them! The main attraction for the summer was the Sanilac County Fair. The fair took place during the week of August 3-9. Not only did the fair bring people from all over the county, it also offered a num- ber of activities. There were animal showings, crafts and trade exhibits, and amusing rides for those who have a strong stomach. Junior Dale Stolicker said, The fair was enjoying to see with all of the exhibits and rides.” Deckerville’s homecoming festivities during the week of July 27 to August 1 was a bright spot for many as well. There was a parade, games for young and old to play, and an evening dance to finish off the week’s festivities. When not working during the summer, students also enjoyed the beach and get- ting together with friends on the wee- kend. Keeping old friendships alive and making new ones are an important part of summer fun. The summer vacation was extended a couple of weeks because of the teachers’ strike. The strike was the first in the school year for the state of Michigan. Some students enjoyed the strike. One such student was jr. Steve Lawler who said, ”1 thought that the teachers had a right to strike, and I liked being home a couple more weeks.” This was the first strike at Deckerville, and it was settled after a week to the relief of all involved. Summer was at its end and school started nn September 1 for the 1987-88 school year. Mark Oswald Bringing up the rear Is Junior Tony Dunlap. Ho Is riding the bumper cars at the Sanilac County Fair.

At Deckerville we have a meaning for DHS: We dazzle, we hypnotize, we shine! What do these words mean to you? It means probably the same as it does to the rest of the student body—SPIRIT! This year the spirit was overwhelm- ingly good during homecoming week. Ju- nior Andrew Setter can vouche for that with his comment about peoples’ cos- tumes, 'T thought people really were en- thusiastic, and because of that, our homecoming was a success.” Each class got to show their spirit and were judged through a spirit poll. The powerful senior class came away the overall winners; but the juniors rallied for a close second. On the big day during the pep assem- bly there was the annual tug-of-war con- test between the seniors and the sopho- mores, and the juniors and the freshmen. It was a great effort by all. But by the overall size of the sophomore class, no one could match up with them. This year our teachers even got in on the fun as they set up a skit for the stu- dent body to see, as they mocked the Bronson Vikings. The students really en- joyed it. Mr. Dan Dean had this to say about our students and teachers alike, Spirit week provides a unique opportu- nity to express the pride we have for our school.

Students take a break from winter hibernation. Brrrrrrrrr....When you think of winter, the word cold pops into your head. Around here we make the most of the few cold months of the year that we en- counter. Snow does create a problem with traffic and transportation, though. Sr. Missy Mullett said, I would like to keep my new car in one piece and be- tween the ditches this winter. One thing that is getting more and more popular each year is skiing. This is not easy to do around here because of the flat area we live in. Jr. Rob Zeien said, ”1 plan on going on the ski trip this year because I’ve heard that it is really fun. This year the group ventured to Mount Holly. Another popular winter activity is snowmobiling. Jr. Brian Davis agrees by saying, I like to go snow mobiling be- cause it gives a form of entertainment in these snow-covered days.” When it’s cold outside, it is the best time to hunt in this area. Also, another popular sport in the winter is ice fishing. Despite the chill, winter fun can give you a warm glow! Just try it!

Wintertime has a tendency to depress people and give them the blues, so what better way to break up the monotony than to be wild and crazy and dress fun- ny .This year's winterfest did just that! High school secretary Judy Bowerman said this about this event: It was great. I think that we need more throughout the year. It would also be nice if the whole school had more spirit.” Despite the change of pace, some students felt differ- ently about this week, junior Tina Sto- licker had this view about this event: ”1 think it stunk because we do the same thing every year.” One controversy about this event and spirit week is that some students feel they need more free- dom of choice. This year’s winterfest started on Wednesday, March 2, with Beach Day where students came to school in full summer apparel. Students wore shorts and sunglasses, and they carried beach towels and beach assessories. Thursday was concert T-shirt and rock star day. On this day students wore concert T-shirts or dressed up like their favorite rock star. The week ended on Friday with color day. On this day each class was assigned a color, and the class that wore the most of that color won. Of course, the seniors won with 100 percent of their class dressed in the color black. The juniors came in second with a close 99 percent, and the sophomores came in third with 94 percent. The pep assembly ended the day with a worm race and the traditional tug-a- war.

You pick up the pen sitting next to the horrible sheet of paper with the word ’’test” printed at the top. And suddenly, you forget everything. . . Have you ever had a dream like that? Those of us who have can understand the horror of it. And those of you who haven’t can only sympathize and hope that it never happens to you. Most times, this dream never becomes a reality. But there are those occa- sions, and we all know about them, when you walk into the classroom on test day only to realize you studied the wrong material. Or, you studied too short a time to help you. Or, any number of other possibilities. Well ladies and gentlemen, that’s what school life is all about-trying to make the grade, and to make it out of high school without having to repeat any classes or at least with some remnant of your sanity!

Curriculum Division - 97 Your ability to under- stand and be under- stood revolves around the courses of speech, English, and reading. These subjects are very important parts of your education. Senior Scott Popilek agrees by saying, ’’You just don't realize this until you’re out on your own.” Speech gives you the confi- dence to speak in front of a group and also gives you the Eye contact. Sophomore Tonya Ka- men is working on improving this during her speech. She is speaking before her fellow speech class mem- bers. Speech is a required course for all sophomores.

When asked how speech in high school would help stu- dents after graduation, speech teacher Thomas Peter- son replied, ’’This class gives the students a variety of com- munication skills, and with- out this class they might not see the correct way to speak in public.” English classes help stu- dents become more adept in the use of our English lan- guage in writing as well as speech. Also, the study of li- terature is an important as- pect of English classes. Related to English and speech courses is the course of Reading Comprehension. This class is meant to help students who have difficulty reading and understanding what they have read. Enhanc- ing the student’s vocabulary is another goal for this course.

The nervous cast of the play ’’The Invisible Man” take a deep breath and start the fall play. The play was a comedy thriller and had many shocking twists and turns. It starts off with a group of college girls who turn an old abandoned hotel into a work- ing establishment as a Christ- mas recess project. The plot thickens as people hear of hidden treasure and begin to search for it. As bodies are found, suspense builds. The murderer is, of course, the last one anyone suspects- funny Jane Beasley, a guest at the hotel, played by sopho- more Donna Bezemek. She discovers the treasure and plans her escape. But the in- visible man, played by Mr. Thomas Peterson, steps in and saves the day. Mr. Peterson is our high school literature speech teacher, and he is the director of school plays. His feelings about working with students were: ’’Even though the group is small, it is ambitious and dedicated. I wish they could be an inspiration to the rest of the school--that drama is an exciting event and worth- while to participate in.” Many of the cast of ’’The Invisible Man” are a part of the drama club called the Thespians. The members not only take part in the produc- tions, but they also help stage and advertise for them. The concession stands at the plays are run by their club. They also raise money for their club at the annual Northshire Ren- naissance Faire in Port Sani- lac. This year they inducted four new members at their an- nual initiation. Senior Tina Rudduck, president of the Thespians, said this about her experience in this club, ’’Many experiences are com- bined into one activity, and it is a lot of fun.” The drama year ended with an unusual, but very success- ful, production called ’’In- sight.” A theater-in-the- round was the setting for the collection of short, dramatic monologues. Another new at- traction was a dinner theater sponsored by the Deckerville Sororian Club on the evening of the Saturday production. It was an exciting and successful year and was thoroughly en- joyed by all.

Who are the best candi- dates? With presidential elec- tions coming up, this year was an interesting one in social studies classes such as Go- vernment and Civics. In Government and Civics students kept a close eye on who was who in the presiden- tial race. They also learned all about local and state govern- ment. They learned about our laws and how they work and affect all of us. Government and Civics teacher Mr. Dan Dean even had his students writing letters to government officials. Students even had the chance to travel. Junior Ste- phen Kelke visited Washing- ton D.C. through the Presi- dential Classroom Program. He spent a week going to seminars and committee hearings. Mr. Dan Dean took 11 students who were inter- ested in government to Wash- ington D.C. for a week for Project Close-up. Senior Hei- di Roe said this prior to her Project Close-up trip, ’’I’m so excited. I can’t wait to go.” Psychology and Sociology are elective courses in the so- cial studies curriculum. In these classes students learned about why some people act the way they do. They are a very popular combination and senior Carol Van Dalen agrees by saying, ”1 really learned a lot in Psychology, and it’s an interesting class.” Irene Falcon 102 -V ■ Real close-up.

Photo by Tina Rudduck. Exploring the unknown is what math and science students experience during the course of the year. Chemistry is known to ex- plore the different aspects of chemical reactions and the compounds they make. Phy- sics helps students under- stand motion in space and on the earth. It also explains gra- vity and different aspects of light. Biology teaches stu- dents about living organisms and their vital processes. Science is important in our lives, and senior John Willis agrees by saying, ”1 got valu- able experience from chemis- try, and I learned a lot about different compounds.” Math is known as one knowledge that you should have for life. From equations to graphs, algebra helps stu- dents understand the math- ematical world. Many stu- dents leave the school year with a better understanding for solving practical everyday math problems. Junior Chris McCully relates to this by say- ing, ’’Geometry taught me about the different shapes and how to figure out equa- tions to solve problems.” Mark Oswald Math Science - 105 Have you ever won- dered what exactly it is that people on the Math Team do? Or, what it takes to get into the National Honor Society? Well, the Math Team takes six competition tests during the school year. Each test con- sists of six problems, and these tests are timed for 30 minutes. This year’s team consisted of seven students, and the team was guided by sponsor and math teacher, Mrs. Sheree Phillips. The team met monthly. This year’s top math team member was junior Tony Dunlap, and he had this to say about the math team: ”1 feel that being on the math team is a good experience for anyone who is interested in math or related fields.” The National Honor So- ciety is one team or group that you have to work very hard to get invited to join. Students must have at least a 3.0 grade average, which is a solid ”B” average. They must also dem- onstrate leadership and be in- volved in extracurricular ac- tivities. Senior National Hon- or Society member Karen Williamson said this about being in NHS: ”1 feel very honored and privileged to be accepted into the Senior Na- tional Honor Society.” The NHS involves their students in the community by requiring members to volun- teer for at least one civic- minded activity during the year. They have a special ini- tiation for the new members, and they usually end their year with a trip. This year’s underclassmen went to Cedar Point for two days. The National Honor So- ciety recognizes and honors our top students, but DHS also has one other event that recognizes our best students. It is the annual Academic’s Awards Banquet. This year our sixth annual banquet was held on May 16. It was one very special night for stu- dents, as well as for parents and the teaching staff. From this event it was obvious that many of our students don’t settle for less! Michelle Maier Being congratulated.

Have you ever won- dered what school life would be like if the only classes offered were ’’the three R’s” reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic? It would be boring, to say the least. Thankfully, however, our lives are more interesting than that. Students here at DHS are given the opportuni- ty to take classes that can ex- pand their horizons and grab their interest. Two examples of these are the art and Span- ish courses here at DHS. The art courses allow stu- dents who are destined to be artists to fine-tune their tech- niques. It allows those who are meant to do other things to at least improve their de- signs. Sophomore Shanna Hickson said this of her ex- perience in art class, ”It helps me to be an individual.” Spanish is often put to use in what is commonly referred to as ’’the real world.” In fact, many universities now re- quire a year of foreign lan- guage before they will even consider a student’s applica- tion. So, many high school students are now taking Span- ish to fulfill this requirement and then discovering that they like it enough to take a second or third year. Sopho- more Jennifer Nader viewed the need to take Spanish by saying, ”1 like the idea of hav- ing a foreign language under my belt. It will come in handy when I travel later.” Christina Merriman Sharing a laugh. Freshman Curt Tes- sier and sophomore Jim Oliver take a break from learning Spanish while senior Cindy Raines looks on.

Back to the beginning is where this year’s sen- ior band members went. Back to the start of their musical education. Back to the fifth grade where they first learned to appreciate orchestral mu- sic. But they also went ahead to the future and became teachers. The experience was called ’’Switch to a Better Band,” and the rules were very simple. Switch instru- ments with another person (chosen at random), learn to play their instrument, and teach them to play yours. Sound easy? Think again. The most difficult part was switching clefs. Flutes, clari- nets, and other high-pitched instruments play in treble clef, which is totally different from bass clef, which is played by the tuba, trom- bones, and other low-pitched instruments. Also, the switch from metal mouthpieces to delicate wooden reeds caused a few problems. But, every- one buckled down, learned their part, and formed a new band. This band was sched- uled to play in the spring con- cert. All in all, the switch helped each person better under- stand their own instruments by explaining the rudiments of it to someone else. The stu- dents also improved their knowledge of music by learn- ing another instrument and performing with it in a sym- phonic band, learning how it blends and coincides with other instruments. Freshman Renae Arthur said, ”1 liked the switch because it gave me an opportunity to learn some- thing new, and it gave us all a break from our old instru- ments.” The band also had many other activities throughout the school year, including solo and ensemble, festival, honors band, marching sea- son, and concert season. Al- though the band members didn’t do as well as they had hoped for, band council presi- dent Mike Brennan sums it up best by saying, ’’The year’s performances didn’t go as well as they could’ve. We could have buckled down and practiced more. But, the last concert went very well, and we finished our season with a BANG!” Lisa Howard mmKBmmmm Trading places.

While checking out colleges and the prices for them, sen- ior Alan Hooper is stunned by the high price tags. The guidance office helps students gather a variety of in- formation regarding cost, size. etc. so students can make the best choice. Photo by Gail Roggenbuck. Helping to strengthen students physically is a major goal of physical education. Preparing our stu- dents mentally for the present as well as for the future is a major goal of the guidance of- fice. P.E. or physical education teaches a variety of sports not only for recreation but also for fitness. Through the year most of the P.E. students probably don’t realize that their bones and muscles are being strengthened while they are having fun playing var- ious sports. Seventh grader Andrew Wendt said this about P.E.: ”1 learn a lot from P.E. and enjoy keeping in shape.” The guidance office helps students so that they can cope with their problems. Schedul- ing students into the right classes is also a job for this office. Student are guided in class selection so that they can better prepare for their future career choice. Students also get help in picking the right college that will best educate them in the field that they have selected. Junior Chris McCully said this regarding the guidance office, ”1 needed help finding a college to go to, and the guidance office showed me some that 1 like.” Mark Oswald Physical Ed. - 113 Business! Who needs it? Well, to get a career today, everyone needs it! For- tunately, DHS provides many business classes that can help students before they go to col- lege. Also, many students get enough from taking business classes that they can land their first job right after grad- uation. Junior Tina Stolicker agrees by saying, ’’With all of the business and secretarial courses I’ve taken. I’ll have a job when I graduate.” Courses may vary from be- ginning typing to computers to advanced accounting. Whatever the course, DHS students get their share of the business world. What does BOEC mean? It means Business and Office Education Clubs of America, and it helps prepare our stu- dents for the real world of business. Junior Melinda Philpot says this about being in BOEC, ”We are very small in our club, but we have a lot of fun, and we’re all close.” BOEC may be small in quan- tity, but it certainly is large in quality. BOEC competes at regional and state competition. Being involved in the community is another activity for this group. They have helped at the blood bank and with the Special Olympics organiza- tion. So, although it is a busi- ness-oriented club, BOEC means fun as well as learning for its members. Trina Tarala Thumbs up!

Leadership training is one major goal of this organization, and it is done through leadership con- tests, agricultural skills con- tests, and various classroom activities. Members of the F.F.A. go to district, regional, state, and even national levels of com- petition. Many members also participate in the 4-H Sanilac County Fair. They take and show such animals as beef, sheep, swine, and veal, which are then sold at the fair auc- tion. Every year the F.F.A. puts on the Tractor Field Day. Most members love to par- ticipate in it, and one of the reasons why is stated by sen- ior Dave Varosi, ”We do many things which advance my ag. skills.” Being in F.F.A. can make learning fun and re- warding! The agricultural classes are varied to meet the needs of our farming community. Even computers are becom- ing a part of the ag. curricu- lum. Junior Melinda Philpot sums it all up on why she takes ag. classes and is a mem- ber of F.F.A., ”1 have learned a lot through F.F.A. in leader- ship, and that in F.F.A. the word TEAM” does not have the letter ”1” in it!” Team- work and leadership go hand in hand in F.F.A.

That is what Mechanical Drawing II students are experiencing. This year these students made scale models of a house. The students designed plans for a house and then constructed the scale model of this house from pieces of wood. Speak- ing about this class senior Tim Sontag said, ”1 like this class because you get to work with wood and can make dif- ferent things.” Students enjoy this course as well as the other valuable industrial education classes. One area reintroduced to our students last year was home economics. Students who took home ec. classes were always doing something different. They learned to cook unique dishes and then had the opportunity to eat them. Parents and staff mem- bers were invited to the home economics room for dessert and coffee during the Christ- mas holiday season. Students also had a chance to develop the skills of sew- ing. Designing and sewing sweatshirts or shorts helped students to have fun learning.

That’s exactly what ath- letes at DHS do, and it shows. No matter how hard it is to give up a movie or time that could otherwise be spent with friends, our team members have the dedication and willpower that make them better. They’re willing to go that extra mile to take it to the limit. Football season began the year. The team just missed the NCTL champion- ship with a loss to Kingston, but came back to show their stuff by beating Bronson, who was ranked tenth in the state, during Homecoming. The golf team also made a very impressive showing their second year at DHS. They were undefeated and finished with a standing of 16-0. Next came our lady Eagles on the basketball court. They played a great season finishing second in the league, losing only to 1987 State Champions, the Peck Pirates. The boys basketball team left their mark on the courts and took it to the limit to win the league championship. The teams were dedicated and worked very hard this year. They’ve made their school and community very proud by giving it all they had and taking it to the limit! Traci Pattullo FLOATING THROUGH THE AIR is junior Brian GET HOT!

Sports Division - 121 Knock On Wood There is superstition in sports. Are you a superstitious athelete? If you're not sure, take this quiz: Do you wear the same thing before every game? Do you do the same thing before every game? Do you keep a good luck charm? If you answered yes to any of these questions, it Is possible you are at least a little superstitious. Sr. Missy Mullett admits to being a little superstitious. She says, I chew two pieces of Trident original gum and put the wrappers in my socks. There is also a diffferent way of ap- proaching this. Junior Stephen Kelke believes that this helps him. He states, Before a game I stare at a sign on the wall that points to all the champions that Deckerville football has had. The sign says, ‘They'e made a commit- ment to excellence, will you?” Though some people think that it's all just a fluke, others believe that it does makes a big difference in their performance!

Sports - 123 New Coach Leads Team Coach Max Glupker carries on the DHS football tradition. The 1987 varsity football team saw many new faces over the course of this season. In the middle of June the nucleus of the previous 9-0 football team was shaken when Coach Bob Staskiewlcz left for a coaching job at Marine City. The football team did most of their weight lifting on their own with some help from track coach Dan Dean and seniors from the previous year. Finally, with only three weeks before their first scrimmage, a new coach was select- ed and practice began. The new coach was Max Glupker, a native of Holland, Michigan. Making the switch was especially hard for Coach Glupker and his wife. They had to move to Sanilac County from the other side of the state, and Coach Glupker had to coach a football team that he knew almost nothing about. However, Coach Glupker did have some help from last year's defensive coach, Ted Jermain. The season had a good start for Coach Glupker and Coach Jermain. The Eagles played very well in their first two showings of the season; they beat Sandusky 32-8 and U.S.A. 21-0. Then in the middle of the season the Eagles met their second new face of the year—defeat. The Eagles lost a hard fought battle to the Kingston Car- dinals, 9-3. After that it was smooth sailing for the Eagles as they posted five straight shutouts. The third new face came at the eighth game of the year when Case- vllle was unable to field a team. The Bronson Vikings filled the vacdncy, coming from the other side of the state. The Vikings were highly ranked In Class C, but they were severely dis- Powering into the endzone for the score is senior Rodney Refrigerator Tanton against the Bronson Vikings.

The Eagles ended up the season with an 8-1 record, finishing second in the North Central Thumb League. They ended up having the number one defense and the number two of- fense in the Blue Water Area. The Eagles also had two players make the Associated Press all-state team, which hasn’t happened since 1979. Senior Rodney Tanton received all-state honors at center, and Junior Richard Barker received all-state hon- ors at safety. Coach Glupker summed up the season when he said, Coach- ing here has been a lot of fun; the kids here have a winning attitude. It has been a great year.” Jeremy Van Norman VARSITY FOOTBALL Mike Peruski, Tom Tarzwelk Stephen Kelke, Robert Zeien, Daryl Bolshy, Mike Wendt, Jim Woodard, Mgr.

Girls Basketball - 127 Golfing Glory Eagle golfers earn respect in undefeated season. When the Eagle golfers set out to Improve on last year's shortened sea- son, they weren't fooling around! In only its second year of existence, the golf team finished undefeated with a 16-0 record. All of the hard work and support put forth by the whole team resulted in a very successful season. The Eagles faced many formidable opponents In Mayville, Sandusky, and Cros-Lex. The highlight of the season came In a meet with Sandusky, Cros- Lex, and C-PS. The Eagles came away with a four-stroke victory over Cros-Lex, a ten-stroke victory over highly acclaimed Sandusky, and a huge amount of victory over C-PS. Senior Stacey Dutcher had this to say after the match, ”lt was three very ful- filling victories and especially nice to beat Sandusky. Although the team did enjoy contin- ued success throughout the season, they came up with a lackluster perfor- mance in regionals at Vassar.

I thought that we could go farther in regionals, but we came up short.” At the awards banquet at the end of the season, senior Stacey Dutcher received the MVP Award, and senior Kevin Pozsgay received the Coach’s Award. The team was made up of seniors Kevin Pozsgay, Stacey Dutcher, Tim Stollcker, Ed Schmidt, and Alan Hooper. These five made up the team which competed against other schools.

Staving at the To Eagles win championship for second straight year. What an accomplishment! The boys varsity basketball team for the first time In Deckerville's history was the undisputed champions in the North Central Thumb League. The Eagles went 16-0 in league play. The Eagles opened the season with a tough triple overtime loss to Sandus- ky. After that the team won their next nineteen games to finish out the regu- lar season with an overall record of 19-1. The team had the most wins of any team ever from DHS. Senior Tim Stollcker, Deckerville’s all-time leading scorer, said this about winning the league champion- ship, It was a really great feeling after the final game when everybody was out on the floor. It was like the fans were also a part of the team. I will re- member it for the rest of my life. The Eagles were a big favorite to win their district, being ranked ninth in the state for Class C. But the Eagles were shocked In their first district game by Cass City in a close 64-62 losing effort. Junior Richard Barker had this to say after the game, ”1 am really heartbroken, but mainly for the sen- iors because this was their last year and their last chance to play. I'll have another year. Honors that were received by the players were to senior Tim Stolicker and junior Richard Barker both being chosen for first team all conference. Senior Jeremy Van Norman was se- lected for second team all confer- ence, and seniors Scott Popilek and Rodney Tanton both received honor- able mention. Senior Tim Stollcker re- ceived first team all Blue Water Area, and junior Richard Barker received honorable mention Blue Water Area.

Boys Basketball - 133 Showing Promise There was some good news and some bad news in the fortunes of the lady Eagles varsity volleyball team this past year. The good news is that they Improved greatly over last year's record, and the bad news is that they still only ended with a 4-4 record In the league, fifth place. Their overall record was 4-8. The lady Eagles were off to a slow start by losing their first four games, but they rebounded to .500 for the rest of the season, before bowing out in the districts to Reese. There were a few bright spots on the team as senior Missy Mullett made 1st team all conference. Missy also re- ceived the team MVP award, and ju- nior Traci Pattullo was named the most Improved. The Coach's Award was given to sophomore Monica Brinkley and freshman Tammy Stolicker. Senior Missy Mullett had this to say about the season: I'm really happy and pleased that I made 1st team, but I would have easily given that up for a first place finish. Not only did the team improve, but they Improved under the direction of a new coach, Cathy Webber. The team Is now looking forward to more Improvement next year and possibly a league title. This is how Coach Webber summed up the year: Our 4-4 league record was an Improvement from last sea son, and we re working to Improve that next year. We are losing four start- ing seniors but have a strong group of girls coming up. Kevin Pozsgay On the run is senior Missy Mullett as she tries to earn her team a victory.

Volleyball - 135 Committed to Excellence Cheerleaders develop new program. WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY defines a cheerleader as one that calls for and directs organized cheering. Cheerleaders wish it would only be that simple. But from their own experi- ence, they know that a lot of hard work and energy goes into cheer- leading. The DHS cheerleading program has really advanced this year. Two new areas have been added to it: weight lifting and aerobic workouts. Practice was held two nights a week for two hours each night. Prac- tice started with a 20-minute workout to get the squad up and moving. After this workout the practice consisted of setting up new cheers, improving old cheers, and planning pep assem- blies. At the end of the practice the squad would spend a half hour lifting weights to tone their bodies in order to do certain cheerleading stunts. Summing up the season seniors Tri- cla Smith and Kristine Abend felt this of their cheerleading experience: There wouldn't even be a cheer- leading squad without the patience and persistence of our Coach Cathy Galligan. It is our thanks that we should give her from the whole squad. But the biggest thanks of all goes to our dedi- cated fans. They are the ones who make our job easy by being so sup- portive!

After finish- ing off a disappointing season last year, the Eagle baseball team re- bounded In 1988 to win the NCTL championship for the first time ever! After the Eagles disposed of the league favorite, the CPS Tigers, at the beginning of the season, it was smooth sailing on their way to an un- defeated league title. Outfielder Lance Stolicker, a senior, had this to say about winning the NCTL championship, I’ve played on this team for three years, and it's about time we won the title.” The Eagles held no prisoners as was evident by the many school records that were broken by this year's win- ning team. These records include: most runs scored, 226; highest team batting average, .369; most hits In a Now, this is what happened . . .” Coach Dick W'aiker is talking over the last inning with junior Brian Davis.

The Lady Eagles started off the sea son by splitting a double header with Akron-Falrgrove. They kept trying but to no avail; the Lady Eagles took 4th In league play. Speaking on the season's outcome, Junior Trlna Tarala said, At times we could have been better, but It was still fun. The athletes at DHS are pushed hard to do their very best, but the coaches and athletes both know that high school level athletics should be fun too. The league finish may not have been what they hoped for, but the Ea gles still had a good individual year. Taking off her catchers gear to get ready for her turn at bat is senior Missy Mullett.

In summing up the season sopho- more Charisse Allard had this to say: We all worked together as a team every step of the way. We went out on the field with a good attitude, no matter who we played. If we won, that was great; If we lost, that was fine too because we were not out there just to win. We were out there to have fun and we did.

It Is 45 degrees outside, and you are in shorts waiting for the starting gun to go off and you are coldl This Is what the varsity track teams had to run in for a good part of their season. The boys track team was lead by a strong junior, Richard Barker, who qualified for the state track meet in the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash. The 440 meter relay team also qualified for the state track meet along with senior Bill Graft in the long jump. Junior Mike Peruski Is going to state In the 400 meter run, and Brian Bezemek Is going in the high jump. The 440 relay team consisted of seniors Bill Graff and Scott Popilek, and juniors Dan Armstead and Richard Barker. The team gave all they had to win the league title, and they also placed 4th In the regional track meet. Junior Richard Barker had this to say about the team, The team held to- gether and worked as a group. We helped each other out when Coach Dan Dean was in Washington. The team pulled together to win the two track meets he missed. The girls track team worked very hard this year to come up second in the league. The gkls were lead by sen- ior Kris Llzak. Kris runs in the 880 dash, and she qualified for the state track meet in this. Kris had this to say of her last track season: We worked really hard, and It paid off for us in the coun- ty and the league meets.

Spring Teams - 147 paid in Full Let’s say this is the year you get lucky and win the Lotto. Maybe you decide to build the dream house you’ve always wanted but could never afford. Where do you start? There are so many things to consider- builders, a water system, furniture. But, then one day, as you’re leafing through the 1988 yearbook, you come to the ad section, and your problems are solved! Right there in the pages of your yearbook you find Van Norman Builders, McConna- chie Well Drilling, Mavis Furniture, and even the Sanilac County Bank, a good place to put your leftover cash. And, to think that all this time your yearbook had so much to offer that you never noticed before! Of all the sections in the yearbook, the one that gets the least attention would probably be the ad section. This part of our book may seem unimpor- tant to you, but on the contrary, there wouldn’t be a yearbook without it. Most people don’t realize just how much money is involved in the produc- tion of our yearbook. Added features such as graphics and color also add to the price in a big way. One third of the cost is defrayed by book sales, but approximately two-thirds of it comes from the generosity of Deckerville and surrounding community merchants. It is because of their support that we are able to continue the tradition of ’’Eagle Star.” Take a look at the businesses advertised on the next few pages and see what they have to offer you. We are truly thankful for these people who took the time and money to make our yearbook the success it is.

During the past year we have laughed, cried, worked, and learned. And, although it may seem like the end to many underclassmen and still more so for the seniors, in truth, we have only barely reached the beginning. For most of us, the underclassmen, a new year means new classes, new teachers, and new jobs. And in our minds is the incentive that we can achieve on our own. It is the incentive to do everything we are capable of doing and to never settle for second best. For many seniors, next year is made up of the wider, more frightening world of college and careers. For them as well, there is an inborne idea that makes them want to do better and to be the best they can. As the 1987-88 Deckerville High School seniors walk through these doors for the last time as students, we say good-bye. We hope that they know they will not be forgotten, just as they will not forget their years here. We wish them well as life moves forward. Christina Merriman IS IT REALLY OVER? Senior Dawn Sharbowski finished her high school career by receiving her diploma during commencement on May 29. Photo by Louise Walker. WE RE READY TO FINISH THE YEAR! Taking a break from it all are senior Jim Fiedler lounging in front, senior Lonnie Nye, senior Mary Jo Smi- flill. senior Julie Rumble, and junior Stephen Kelke. They are all anxiously awaiting to get the year over! Photo by Tom Thorold. The Best Is Yet Colophon Who didn’t settle for less? The 1988 Deckerville Yearbook Staff didn’t! This book was printed by Inter-Collegiate Press, a subsidiary of Herff Jones, Inc. in Shaw- nee Mission, Kansas, using offset lithography. Most of this 184-page book was printed on 100 lb. Calais paper. The 16 color pages were printed on Eurogloss. Four hundred and twenty-five copies were produced using the 8 1 2x11 format size. This year we used a black Vista Executive cov- er. The cover was silk screened using pale gold and baby blue for the copy and details. Our type styles were varied in point size, rang- ing from 6 to 30. For the theme and division areas we used Souvenir 6 and Souvenir Bold. In our other areas we used a variety of Granite 3, Times Roman 46. Ballardvale 4, and Avante Garde 9. We also used Letraset lettering, Poppl Exquisit, in our division and theme headlines; and we used Chartpak lettering. Gold Rush, in the curriculum headlines. Our type was prepared on an Apple He computer using ICP’s Typestar 2000 program for telecommunication. The yearbook staff would like to thank all those people who helped us in the production of our yearbook.
