Getting “High on Life” was a popular pastime this year for Seniors Scoit Lage, ohn Kulmaitz, and junior Dan Burns. They performed Ihe “Life skit during (he First Annual Shecky Green Memorial Skit Night. Although Shecky Green was not dead, planners felt it appropriate to dedicate Skit Night to him, because in their opinion, his comedy has died. A socially active Student Council and senior class prompted the planning of numerous unique activities. Students found the additional events an exciting supplement. Although the annually popular events remained, this became a year for BREAKING TRADITION Si Whether it was getting together for Skit Night, or dancing all night at the Prom and indulging in some heavy gambling at Casino Night, participation in school-sponsored activities definitely soared. Due to a more active Student Council and some creative minds among the student body, school activities made this year special. Junior Mike Lutz, credits the sponsoring organizations such as the Varsity Club, for having the initiative to break tradition. Normally Valentines Day is celebrated by exchanging candy, flowers and perhaps a small kiss. But, this year Steve Mount was deeply surprised when Amy Anderson hired a singing telegram to be delivered during his A lunch. Although he might not have enjoyed it as much as the rest of the onlookers, the singing telegram was definitely unique. Although to any stranger the Commons would be considered just a hallway, for GHS students it was a “social hub”. The hustle and excitement that often filled the atmosphere were the result of such things as Sophomore and Varsity Club initiations, fund raisers and purchasing tickets to school entertainment functions. Some of the new entertainment could be credited to the all night school Lock-In, In-School Forum, and the Shecky Green Memorial Skit night. Although time had to be taken out of students’ hectic schedules to enjoy such events, most were grateful for the opportunity to relax with friends. After all, “Getting There” doesn’t always require work. A little rain during the Homecoming game didn’t slop . V Cheerleader Chris Rossman from cheering the Jackets on to victory.
