Theme Look at the Year we’ve Built We chose “Look at the Year We’ve Built,” as the theme for this year’s yearbook after quite a bit of debating between 3 different theme’s. “Look at the Year We’ve Built” was decided upon because we felt that it best suited this school year with all of the problems that have arisen throughout the year. We each have built our own year, be it through sports, theatre, or our friends, and have come through it like true Vikings! 2 Table of Contents

Among many programs to be funded by the pro- posed increase were high school athletics, musical, and dramatic activities. Faced with the necessity of cutting these programs, the board of education developed a policy and procedures which would allow for alternative forms of funding programs not funded with tax dollars. Because of a deep seated concern and love for the youth of this school district and a dedication to the prin- cipal that activities are vitally important to young people, two groups tackled and accomplished the awesome task of providing the funding needed to insure the presence of athletic and performing arts activities for the students of Grayling High School during the 1981-82 school year. The Grayling Youth Booster Club raised and con- tributed in excess of $20,000 which allowed the atWetic program to exist on the same level as the 1980-81 schoo year. Because of their unyielding dedication, 200 Gray ling High School students were able to participate in in terscholastic sports and 600 Grayling High Schoo students and the entire community were able to particl pate as spectators and to feel the pride of accomplish ment and identity which athletics give the school and community. In addition, the Booster Club has provided 54,000 in scholarship money to nine 1982 Grayling High School seniors to enable them to continue their formal education process. and recognition of the isticaily talented youth, touted in excess of S4.000 which allowed dramatic and musical programs to proceed on an extra curricular basis. Because of their unyielding dedication 60 Grayling High School students had the opportunity to perform and the student body and community shared their performances and felt the pride and identity created by these activities. Grayling High School students do care and are for- ever appreciative of the efforts of these two fine com- munity groups. In recognition of this appreciation and mutual love and respect, the 1982 SAGA is dedicated to the Grayling Youth Booster Club and the Crawford County Arts Council.
