Anthology SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY was directed by Miss Susan Kaphammer. The lighting, set, publicity, and costuming was done by Miss Kaphammer's Theatre Arts class. The play proved to be one of the most unusual productions that Frenchtown has seen because of its unusual characters, from soldiers to vamps'. Although the evening production did not have a large turnout, the performance will be remembed by both the audience and cast members for a long time after, for even weeks after the produc- tions, you could hear melodrama by Edgar Lee Masters echoing the halls.

Throughout the years, school spirit has been decreasing more and more every year. School spirit dropped to nothing during the 1984-85 school year. In addition to the fact that the student body showed no school spirit, fewer girls tried out for cheerleading, too. The Girls' Basketball and Football teams pulled through the season on top with only the support of the cheerleaders and a few loyal fans, mainly parents. But, during Boys' Basketball, Wrestling, and Volleyball, things began to look brighter in the Frenchtown Valley. Mike Ogren.Jim Winsor, Lee Baerlocher, and Scott Topel, began to initiate their own club, the ZOO II. It started out with everyone wearing hats and sunglasses to the games. Eventually, everyone got in the swing of things and began yelling and cheering the teams on. From that point on, more and more students got involved. The bleachers were filling up, and the crowds were active and supportive. As the club got on it's way, the officers got together and decided to get shirts to signify the birth of the ZOO II. There were shirts ordered and sold for $10.00 a piece. The shins sold immediately, and the school spirit was boosted a little bit more. The bleachers at the games were flooded with orange ZOO II shirts and mirrored sunglasses. The ZOO II seemed to be the start that Frenchtown needed 14 ZOO II
